Composer Brothers
The famous Composer Brothers, Sharp the Elder and Flat the Younger, made their debut in Ocarina of Time. In that game, they were deceased composers who during their life had served the Hylian Royal Family. After their death, they kept serving the royal family as Poes by guarding Kakariko Graveyard. They are the creators of the Sun's Song. They composed the Sun's Song because they wanted to find out if they could control the day and night with music. Read each of their headstones and be prepared to fight each brother to learn his part of this information.
They (that is, their Terminan counterparts) also make an appearance in Majora's Mask, where Sharp has sold his soul to the devil, and locked his younger brother up. Flat taught Link the Song of Storms (which he had composed), so he could use it to heal Sharp's soul.
Sharp and Flat are possibly based on Mario and Luigi from the Super Mario Bros. series. Sharp, the older brother, is a bit smaller and chubbier than his younger brother. Also, Sharp has a red sun-symbol on his cap, while Flat has a green moon-symbol.
Sharp
Sharp (シャープ, Shaapu) is one of the two Composer Brothers that haunted the Kakariko Graveyard in Ocarina of Time. They created the Sun's Song, which calls upon the Sun and Moon. When Link visits the Royal Tomb, the two Composer Brothers attack, but then realize Link is good.
Sharp's Terminan counterpart in Majora's Mask is nearly identical. He is the one of the two Composer Brothers that haunted Ikana Valley. When the land of Ikana Canyon was taken over, Sharp was tricked into selling his soul to the devil.[1] He then locked up his brother Flat beneath the Ikana Graveyard, and had him guarded by an Iron Knuckle.[2]
Sharp composed a song called the Melody of Darkness. The Song of Death has the ability to drain the life from all who listen to it and when Link confronted him in the Springwater Cave, he used it against him.[3] However, Link played the Song of Storms, a composition of Flat, and Sharp's soul healed. Sharp then told Link of the curse on Ikana Valley, and how he had to get into the Ikana Castle.
If Link tries to play the Song of Healing, which cured every other spirit in the game, Sharp will react and say how soothing the song is, but quickly regain his demeanor and say its too late for him, and continue killing Link with the deadly music.[4]
Flat
Flat (フラット, Furatto) was one of the two Composer Brothers that haunted the Kakariko Graveyard in Ocarina of Time. They created the Sun's Song, which calls upon the Sun and Moon. When Link visits the Royal Tomb, the two Composer Brothers attack, but then realize Link is good after he defeats them.
Flat's Terminan counterpart in Majora's Mask is nearly identical. Flat is the one of the two Composer Brothers that was locked up beneath Ikana Graveyard. He was locked up there by his own brother Sharp, and guarded by an Iron Knuckle.[2] Link saved Flat, who taught him the Song of Storms, a song he had composed and that could cure Sharp of his curse.[5]
