Cool Song About ZELDA Needs A Clever Title! Please Help :(

So my band, Detour North, is planning on soon releasing an acoustic EP. One of the songs on this EP is based on The Legend of Zelda. It has a lot of indirect, subtle references to the Zelda series throughout the song that convey the plot line of the song, that only hardcore fans of the series would even notice.
So we've been trying to think of a title for the song in the same way. Something that cleverly hints at the Zelda series without being too obvious. Something that only a big Zelda fan can notice and giggle to himself over.
So I come to you ZU. What are your ideas on a clever Zelda song title? Something only hardcore Zelda fans would recognize that doesn't use any trademarked words or phrases of the series?

Our ideas:

It Came From Beneath The Well
Dude, Where's My Sword?

If you guys would like, I can post the lyrics if it would help at all. Just let me know.
Thanks for your help guys Let your creative Zelda juices flow into witty song names

EDIT:
Here are the lyrics since you guys asked for them:

"You've been having nightmares... Haven't you?
These dark times are scaring you?
Navigation may seem a mess, but follow her.
She will lead you through this.
You might think you're nothing.
But you're destined for great things!
You might be too young now, but don't worry...
Seven years isn't as long as it seems."

Don't drag me down, I feel okay.
I'm skyward bound, and I'm here to stay.
And all these songs, they transport me.
To my own realm where demons sleep.

We only have three days left to make it right.
We can't turn back time now.
Just give me one more night.
And do you even have a real face under that mask?
Or are you just that fake?
This sea is engulfing me.
And drowning everyone who's close to me.
I'm becoming an animal.
I can't control myself.
I can't control myself.

Don't drag me down, I feel okay.
I'm skyward bound, and I'm here to stay.
And all these songs, they transport me.
To my own realm where demons sleep.
And this full moon, it reminds me
that I'm just a sheep in wolf's clothing.
These clocks tick down to our Demise.
And if we go down, I swear i tried.

This was all an accident.
Wasn't it?
I don't believe in destiny.
That sounds too dramatic.
Doesn't it?
This was all an accident.
Wasn't it?
I don't believe in destiny.
That sounds too dramatic.
Doesn't it?

Yeah that was the one we we're most fond of but hopefully we can come up with something even more clever.

The Hand in the Pipes.

{actually that can be taken as slightly... sexual, so maybe not.}

How about "Pocket KFC?" [a referance to Ocarina of Time's Cojiro, a revolutionary new "pocket cucoo"]

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

Maybe you should give us the lyrics. To know what are the lines of the song we are trying to name. So we can give better names and that they go or have a similarity with the lyrics.

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

What kind of music do you guys play? If you say hardcore I'm going to punch you in the throat in a circle pit then yell something generic.

How about... "Shots With Hookers" - Hookshot.

Lol.. I like this one. And no, we're more of an emo- pop punk.. But the good kind.. Not the ♥♥♥♥ty poppy kind that came along recently. The more passionate kind. Kinda like old Brand New.

But that's beside the point

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

Oh, very nice.

I've made a song about Majora's Mask, but my band is like psychadelic rock revival/indie rock, so it's more trippy if anything.

Hmm, I never thought of a name referencing the timeline. What about: The Time of Downfall or something like that?

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

"It's a Secret to Everybody"

Pretty clever (if I do say so myself), recognizable to the fans, and I feel like it kind of fits the lyrics.

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

I think Hero of Everything might fit. It references how every Link has the title of "Hero of _____." I also think it fits one of the interpretations of the lyrics - the literal one, as someone on a journey to right a wrong.

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

A Terrible Fate

Drowned

Conquer Yourself!

Dangerous Solitude (It's dangerous to go alone)

Eastmost Penninsula

Legendary Groose

Stalchild in the Dark


NOCTURNE OF SHADOW
Anyway, I really like the Navi, Wind Waker, MM, OoT, and SS references.

Re: Clever Zelda Song Titles

I think "Conquer yourself" is the best one so far.

How about something like "Hero's courage" or something like that. Seems fitting based on a song that's pretty much from link's point of view.

Or maybe a fi joke, like "0% chance of returning".
