I had a question about a time paradox that appeared in Zelda: Ocarina of Time, namely the existence of the Song of Storms. If you played Ocarina of Time, you can skip the first paragraph.

In Ocarina, Link can travel through time, going 7 years in the future and back, and his body is affected, too (Link is 9, travels in the future and becomes 16, and vice versa).

Link, at 16, goes into a windmill and meets an angry man that tells him that seven years before, a strange boy came into the windmill and played a song on his Ocarina (musical instrument) and messed up the windmill.

When Link shows him his Ocarina, the angry man teaches him the song. Then Link travelled back in time, goes to the windmill, and plays the song to the man (who's not angry now) and plays the song he learned, making the man angry and messed up the windmill.

Is this an ability for Link?
 
That's just a time loop. He's the one who caused the event that sent him back to cause the event... ad infinitum. It is pretty stupid imo, but it's not an ability, instead it directly shows that he is subject to time travel shenanigans.
