It's pretty strange, alright. It switches constantly from 10/8 to 13/8. Every odd bar is 10/8, every even bar is 13/8.
Per novitatem, artium est renascatur.

Finished with making music for quite a long time.

Ah thx for the reply.

Just found this on wikipedia:

"In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (video game), Ganondorf's theme is mostly in 23/16 (sometimes with 17/16 as a polymeter) with a stray section in 4/4.["

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_works_in_unusual_time_signatures#Partially_in_23.2F4_or_23.2F16

weird indeed
