Forest Temple - Immersive Version

Forest Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in a somewhat different version that still stays true to the original in many ways. Who dares enter the abandoned fortress?

What makes this temple unique is that it's not really a religious site. It's an old castle/mansion haunted by ghosts.

[@Bigboss192x]

Its of religious/ spiritual importance to the forest dwellers as noted by Saria

[@Z-Man7]

@@Bigboss192x Yes, but the original structure wasn't built as a temple.

[@GuukanKitsune]

​@@Bigboss192x The forest dwellers didn't build it. They just found it. Imagine if society collapsed and the White House was found by rat people or whatever who had no idea what it was originally for and used it as a church, and you have an idea what's going on in the Forest Temple.

[@Bobman32x]

@@Z-Man7 I like the theory that it was originally a castle that was home of the original forest sage, and the poe sisters are all the original Forest, Fire, Water and Shadow sages who were killed in the temple. Only the Spirit sage was able to hide in the desert from whatever previous evil took them all out.

[@MichaelCox]

It was probably the Hyrule Castle of an age long past, and the boss chamber would have been a sacred realm entrance and pedestal for the master sword (note it has all the sage symbols surrounding a triforce, just like in the temple of time). Also--if you follow the continuum--wherever the master sword lies--that's where the kokiri forest/korok forest will eventually end up, especially since in most games, the forest is where you FIND the Master Sword.

I swear that's how I listened to it when I was 13

do you know „zelda as imagined“? check it out. that properly remade alpng with music like this... WHAT A TREAT 🙃 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGe7fJ2LntOksLc

@@oooodaxteroooo Thank you

[@aulex4822]

If you close your eyes you can truly imagine what it was like to walk through the lost woods and discover the forest temple. A beautifully horrifying experience that encompasses nature and magic. This really does a great job of capturing the overall aura of this part of the game.

[@barzoly]

Sounds like your walking down an ancient forest . Just brilliant

[@paygetilton1437]

I absolutely love these arrangements. At the risk of sounding cheesy, it doesn't make sense to me that these videos don't have more views and likes.

[@FlamingZelda3]

It doesn't have more views because its very niche.

[@jillianhubert6931]

I agree. I just found this video and scrolled others and I'm so surprised they have so few subscribers. This is incredible!

[@jillianhubert6931]

@@FlamingZelda3 I mean it definitely is very niche but I think the giant fan base there is more, it just hasn't been seen as if you search forest temple there's many that pop up above it.

[@dandelo4666]

yeah i get what you mean. there are tons of Oot renditions , some with millions of views but Fingelion Meriath's are definetly one of the better ones

[@lamisha5081]

With todays attention span the first 2 minutes probley lost a lot of people

[@TownshendSmash]

I like the incorporation of the jingling the Koroks make from Wind Waker.

[@fly3RO]

:O it sounds like you are walking through the forest and you gradually get closer to that mysterious place

[@Blackgold272_Laura]

yees 😱

[@ALivingFlame]

These are all honestly some of the best Zelda fan work I've ever experienced... And that's saying something. This one and the Deku Tree are very special to me ❤️

[@pleasedontfailusproduction1968]

The forest temple was always a bit spooky, not like the shadow temple, but like its truly abandoned, and this version really reminds you its in a literal forest. ❤

[@koopaking6148]

Agreed... Tbf the temple is haunted by 3 ghosts, several flying skulls and gannons shadow... Plus several other things im probably not thinking about in the moment...

[@clouds-rb9xt]

Great stuff. Needs a bit more of the "DOO DOO DOO" section but other than that you've nailed it

[@sebastiansandkuhler4646]

I’ve been compiling my favorite forest theme game music and didn’t have the intention of adding the OoT Forest temple theme again… but here I am blown away by this beautiful piece.

[@reymundopena7042]

This was always my favorite temple and dungeon theme for it was every bit playful as it was ominous. 🍃🍃

[@king_of_all]

Imagine walking through a forest and you start hearing the music the further you walk- that would make me shite my pants and make me want to explore even more.

[@makyleighblount1721]

This version of the forest temple sounds like it would be an enchanted forest theme. (Yet again the lost woods is basically an enchanted forest.) But it sounds relaxing & mysterious, i love it.

[@Dethseye]

This arrangement really captured the feeling and essence of the forest temple. That I remembered when I was a kid playing it for the first time. Well, practically every time I play It so eerie.

[@6SamChat9]

The rustling of seeds and anonymous walking sound effects give me shivers and chills and I love it ❤

[@FeelMetalMan]

for me this song means a lot. Aside from transporting me to my childhood like everyone else, it's a reminder that they don't make music like this anymore, or such is my perception

[@RebeccaETripp]

Beautiful, and just what my soul needed tonight!

[@oooodaxteroooo]

this is EXACTLY what a remix should be. im lost for words and thats saying a lot!

[@schibalt6203]

REALLY the best version I've heard to actually imbue some needed dread into the mysterious mood of the temple.

[@Devinloves56]

I shut my eyes, and imagined I was sitting in the Forest Temple with my eyes shut of course and I kid you not, I was getting so into it I legit thought I was there for a little bit, that is how good you are at making these Immersive versions of these already amazing songs. Hearing Link enter the abandoned temple which in turn makes the music ramp up, and then hearing those wood chimes and the poes laughing at you, it's just all so blended perfectly. You my man, are getting totally subscribed. :)

[@AvionBear]

This is really well made

[@kildozer2012]

Perfectly harrowing and beautiful at the same time. This is likely the best rendition of forest temple to date!

[@AbelicoMc]

Excelente versión hermano, esta buena para viajar y meditar...

[@joserendon5103]

good trip meditation

[@gavinclark2185]

I like how you made the weird rattle sound sound like the rattle sound koroks make in wind water and breath of the wild

[@SailorCheryl]

I love how you take us on a journey with your personal composition, building it up and changing it depending on the location in the dungeon itself. You are a master!

[@RollyMusica]

Amazing ambience! And the birds in backward was a strange feeling lol

[@TitansTracks]

I like how you included the Elegy of Emptiness near the end. Very clever! 💎

[@jeromemeyer2563]

L'ambiance est très réussie, j'aime vraiment beaucoup. J'ai hâte de voir la suite pour d'autres temples

[@Ninjagal22]

1:53 I actually thought there was a bug buzzing by me, while strolling in the forest listening to this

[@talongodin2253]

This is perfect!

[@jillianhubert6931]

This is a masterpiece. This is my favorite zelda song of all time and this just completes me! I hope eventually you get the recognition you deserve! Now excuse me while I play this on repeat

[@tiredpoe5540]

Damn this is good

[@benjamonpookoo2741]

[@dandelo4666]

Thank you for creating this... You seem to just get it. I think you have some real talent. Watching your other stuff right now. I also think it's amazing how people still are so fascinated with this game

[@matheusfreitas8133]

Can you make with the Spirit Temple? I really appreciate your remixes. I'm from Brazil

[@Skr4x]

wish was granted

[@Cubebass]

this would sound awesome as a multichannel surround mix

[@clouds-rb9xt]

Seriously this sounds straight out of a remake

[@itnen8346]

You are a genious. Thanks.

[@westongale5899]

I am going to be honest here, I am literally working on a mock proposal for one of my classes right now, and this song has been extremely helpful to me in relaxing my mind and getting the paper done. The Forest Temple theme has always been a very beautiful song, but you just made it even more beautiful, so thank you so much for uploading this video! :)

[@anthonyc7286]

Can you extend this for an hour or longer. Either way, I still enjoy it. Thanks.

[@roambuilder8825]

Just put it on loop

the sound of korogu or bell and footsteps.are excellent, can we get a extended version?

Brilliant

[@Hyperion-5744]

If another zelda game involving the forest temple is ever made, this should be used for it.

Il la vraiment un côté mystérieux que j'arrive pas à expliquer chaque fois que je joue la musique

could you do this with other temple? Or another dungeon? I'm really excited!!

[@kyliecatmeow]

I always felt the outside sections of forest temple were a liminal space

[@BlackCrossCrusader]

I am beyond impressed how you managed to capture the ethereal ambience, feel, and soul of the original. If the OG piece of Ocarina of Time was a door, you've shown us there is another one behind it. Well done!

I was not prepared for the BEE IN MY EAR 1:52

[@fjoergyn]

There are cultur written about dark abondend places like big and dark forests of our world. This temple was one of the scariest temple i ever done, i was not brave enough but you must done it. The very first playtrough i remember very good about the anxiety and nervous feeling. The skulltulas dont make it better. Bro, this should be in the UE5 Version of OoT .. oO!!
