Gauntlet Legends Soundtrack - Area 2.1: Castle Courtyard

Music by John Paul, Barry Leitch, Joe Lyford, and Michael Henry

[@MarsTheMellow]

The camaraderie of this song is strong.

[@Saiyanprince1114]

Bro, I'm astonished to be in here and see over a hundred comments. The love for this track is real.

[@artemisarrow179]

The quintessential Gauntlet song

[@timtaylor9298]

Oh man. the good nights with me and my friends, a large pizza and this badass game

[@v1de0gamr23]

Tim Taylor all that plus a bottle of Captain Morgan was my Thursday night ritual for a while.

[@SnailMaster]

Right on.

[@devonschwartz5353]

Aah the memories of having a faulty memory card and never knowing if the save file would stay, so trying to do the whole game with my mate in one playthrough

[@catabernathy10]

There really WAS something about this particular track, wasn't there?! It really made you feel a sense of comradeship with those you were playing with.

[@javiernesta5876]

Yes

[@fireorb2]

+Catherine Abernathy I agree, this musical piece just felt so heroic and made me think of team work when working with my friends in the game.

[@WorldWalker128]

Heck yes.

[@adamwillard4334]

Hell yes

[@WaterMusic34]

Best track in the game

[@sgtgustav5965]

This is amazing quality audio! well done!

[@APeelingG]

Oh man... the memories with my pops

[@mortelkill]

sad this series isnt around anymore, it was really a fun experience

[@NYCJoeBlack]

MIDWAY was going to release Gauntlet Legends on the Nintendo DS, but plans changed and I believe a G.I. Joe became that game that was supposed to be a new Gauntlet Legends game.

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

I was lost on this level for such a long time. This song made it all worth it.

[@ikeislegend8716]

same used to happen to me but the song made cool

[@219dom]

I finally found it! It has been YEARS since I played this game and this 1 track above all others has remained in my head. I don't know why but there is something powerful about this particular track.

[@gooselordofthegeese4616]

I also loved the castle stage. can't test areas 5-6-7 because apparently the plague and yeti are underground and neither us or the boss interact to each other. EDIT: dragon and chimaera are overground but all else applies,

[@Peace-ot7wm]

A remake would be beautiful

[@LaiosKnight]

The franchise needs to continue, but I am unsure if it will happen again... Wish it would...

[@Hellwolf36]

Honestly, the N64 version's saving grace was the soundtrack itself. Not to mention repeating plays of levels increased the difficulty to astronomic levels. Trying doing a 4P spawn of Town Graveyard and see how long THAT takes.

[@KmanZAG]

for real. I always loved playing with max difficulty and returning periodically to every level, just to see how much they could up the difficulty. the answer: a lot! its surprising just how far the game can scale. even newer rpg's have issues getting this right.

[@kajkullah2383]

Bro, the Graveyard was the hardest level in game. I was always afraid of playing it as a kid. Lol I remember that one time when we tried 3 playering that level and... we didn't beat it. I love this game. :')

[@ShiftyGuy777]

N64 also allows to save and sell items too, so there's that. Dreamcast is close to the arcade and has the Dark Legacy characters. As for PS1, it's too bloody easy!

[@Hellwolf36]

@@ShiftyGuy777 You could literally Hammer lock the Spider Queen boss for easy Level 99s in PS1.

[@stacyswiss307]

I liked the graveyard levels it was the ice fields that did me in

The fight music of 2020. Battle on, friends! We're almost done!

Finally, it fits for 2021, 2022 and probably all the way up to 2030.... Because their agenda is 21-30.

[@frostyfredfred]

Song of my childhood, friday night playing Gauntlet with my brothers... Good times...

[@WaterMusic34]

Amazing track. Loved this since the first time I heard it years ago.

[@BruceCampbell0886]

Such an underrated soundtrack. Thank you for the uploads.

[@stallionfury0]

Remember just camping in the spawn points for extra gold/exp until they became depleted, the demons were insanely hard but fun and challenging

[@Necromagenvi0n]

You sir, are my freaking hero! *salutes*

[@1upLeviathan]

Old School games are waaaaaaay better than games made now. =)

[@Amekaraa]

x3 My favorite track out of the whole game and favorite series of levels! I've heard this so many times while fighting the chimera over and over, either failing or to get exp.

[@gooselordofthegeese4616]

There is a separate track for chimaera, which is just a remix of this, I see why you could get confused :)

[@rodneywestra8756]

i love this game i play it over and over

[@elcosolos7119]

Play this while exploring Boletaria's castle's forlorn walls and eerie battlements.

[@serpentsaurus7969]

As someone who only ever played Dark Legacy, listening to these tracks is so cool. DL's soundtrack was built upon these songs, so hearing their original incarnations is still amazing.

[@MissSailorSaturnMagi]

i love this level so much every time i play this game i always want to play this level always. and plus this music goes great of what i'm thinking of right now. i love this song and this level with all my heart!! *hums along*

[@antiinjusticias3892]

awesome. I won a white label of this game for Sega Dreamcast in 2000. What memories!!!

[@JesterSkull]

Epic music for an epic game! RED WARRIOR FOREVER!

[@Ninjaslife437]

You mean red MINOTAUR

[@Apocalypse3434]

Either this one or the Ice Camp track is my favorite. Can't decide. This one has more of a brave, marching to battle feel to it whereas the Ice Camp is more of an ambient, adventure-esque track. Apples and oranges, but both are so good.

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Gauntlet needs to come back, to show the younger generation of gamers what multiplayer is really all about. I'll take Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy over Call of Duty and Halo any day.

[@WorldWalker128]

I didn't like Dark Legacy since it was for the most part the exact same game but with more levels characters that grew bigger as they gained levels (which made it hard to see what you were doing when all four people were playing at once) but I loved the N64 version to death. All the hours my uncles and family and me sunk into it playing together was well-worth the $40 dollars spent on it.

[@jacobzamba1350]

They are making a new one for steam in September

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

Jacob Zamba So I've heard. I don't have a Steam account, but I think new Gauntlet warrants my setting one up.

[@13lackk9]

Joshua Workman Too bad the Gauntlet for Steam was such a crap game. They tried, but failed at combining the Original Gauntlet with Gauntlet Legends. Then they got rid of the level up system, and instead added in the Perk system. Yay, Gauntlet of Duty. No thanks.

[@13lackk9]

***** The perk system is annoying as all hell. Replacing level ups with tedious and very specific tasks was a fuck up that the new gauntlet will never recover from. They successfully killed gauntlet.

[@NAI917RAH]

I love the version of this song!

[@TimmythatSquirrel]

I loved this song for years this has been my favored mainly because of the hurdy gurdy sounding instrument.

[@maybellephoenix9740]

its been a while since i've heard this. i love this sound track and this game. this is still my favorite level ever in this game. *sigh* but i cant play it know because my N64 is busted. i wish i could play this game again.... :(

[@XLRAshon]

The Castle Stronghold had the best music for it's levels in both Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy! This remands my all time favorite level song. The Dungeon of Torment in Dark Legacy is a close second!

[@DarkShadowRage]

Blue Valkyrie ftw.

[@gamerzero7735]

Has a strong Celtic feel to this. I'm of Irish descent, so this, I'd know.

[@Classixish]

this song still blows me away after 0:15

[@stacyswiss307]

That harp or whatever slaps

[@SOREMX]

They need this enhanced and remastered

[@Diamhea]

Yeah, but the murky N64 audio quality does give it some sort of charm.

This is one of the few tracks that is VASTLY superior to the PS2 Gauntlet Dark Legacy version. This one has such a folk song type sound to it that's missing in DL.

[@Diaz26IV]

I always play as Yellow Minotaur. I just got done doing an all nighter with my best friend as Minotaur and Falconess. Beat the game too.

[@jofez27]

I love this song!! Green Archer for life! Is there any way to download this and add it to my playlist? Thanks for bringing back good memories. Miss my N64

[@gooselordofthegeese4616]

This game reminds me very much of warcraft, just how it looks and its music, no where does it play like Warcraft III.

[@HollowGoku]

This game was hard as fuck I wish I could play it again!!!!!!

[@da_BemBem]

Look for Dolphin Emulator. With that you should be able to figure out the rest. Good luck, I've been playing recently and it's just as fun as I remember.

[@Yrrej8611]

My brothers & I rented it at Blockbuster once.

[@BluecaliburZero]

NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAA

[@plerimest]

thanks for upload

[@Yrrej8611]

I believe you refer to IRL lore, which is where a lot of fantasy lore comes from. However, this is a video game that does not follow along with real life. If the author wishes to redefine certain aspects of fantasy, then he or she can choose to for their specific story. BTW, the "guns" associated with the archer are similar to repeater crossbows. The original archer from the first game did, in fact, use a bow.

[@Caladcholg]

Epic as fuck

[@TheMustangTT]

Cat damn this takes me back!

[@justanotherguy2120]

I'd gladly trade my GTA V online for Gauntlet Legends. I miss the hell out of that, and Dark Legacy too.

[@Yourname942]

pls try to + post them :)

[@Necromagenvi0n]

@imacoolguy23 Just like @RogueShadows said, I'll find not only his suggestions but also yours. Now you must be patient comrade cuz this is gonna take a while.

[@Necromagenvi0n]

@gameboycolor47 I really miss those days too comrade. COD is sadly the cancer of the videogame industry which has corrupted it and sending it into an era of senseless violence and brainless opinions. People think that by following that "fashion" (which is a complete waste of time) they think they are something but honestly, they're nothing but a bunch of lost souls drowned in the most shameless greed such chaos can offer.

[@Ninjaslife437]

I totally agree man, this game needs to come back on the current consoles and have internet based multiplayer.

[@Diamhea]

@RogueShadows Yeah the Chimera version of this song is actually better. I know its hard to believe.

[@KaxakaDarktree]

Actually I'm referring to R.L. and not its lore. If I was referring to r.l. lore I would'v said something completely different due to cultural confusion because those yellow skinned "europeans" don't know how to define classes. Aryans, like myself, on the other hand can. I hav classified every single class combination from the warrior to the jeomancer. However, since you know some Gauntlet Lore (quite a bit) I'll make a little correction. Sorcorers: Light, Frost (water+wind), and Fire majik.

[@PentApleX666]

..............except when you can appreciate aspects of modern and retro style games because you're not closed minded like trend-slave COD zombies or socially awkward overly nostalgic "analysts" like yourself bro

[@carloscedeno8956]

Waves of nuisance.

[@KaxakaDarktree]

Here's 1 of the flaws of the Gauntlet series, they do not correctly portray the lore of the classes Mage: Mind majik, Frost majik, Fire majik [from nature]. Sorcorer: Healing Light majik [non-lightning light majik to heal], Fire majik [from light, like lasers], and Frost majik. [Basically mage but dropping the Mind majik for healing light majik] Archer: Should say marksmen if it's "I use guns AND an epic bow" as weapons. Paladin and Valkrie: Same thing, just 1 is male and the other is female.

[@gooselordofthegeese4616]

Warrior has a clone, its called Minotaur.
