Generally, a nocturne will end on a minor i, or a half cadence.
The ending harmony is unusual for a nocturne as it ends on a major I cadence. The last three bars do contain functional harmony, with an unusual progression of (bVI/VII - bVII/VII - bVI - bVII - I). The melody does not suggest any strong tonic center, and the harmony consists only of fourths moving in chromatic parallel motion. There is no true harmonic progression in the first 4 bars. The "Nocturne of Shadow" is 7 bars long in 4/4 time and, like the name suggests, hints at emotions relating to night and death. In Hyrule Warriors, Sheik can play the "Nocturne of Shadow" with her Harp Weapon to create an area of dark energy that sucks in and damages enemies.
