HOW Did Zelda Link to the Past Have Music THIS Good?

[@CharlesCornellStudios]

EDIT: IT'S THE THIRD GAME. UGH I don't know why I didn't think before my stupid mouth said that. Thanks for the correction! 1986 saw the release of The Legend of Zelda, quickly followed up in 1987 with The Adventure of Link. Totally blanked on that one.

[@ObadiahQRex]

Please cover Transformers victory's theme song.

[@megamanfan3]

Those chords still remind me of my childhood. I guess this game is firmly ingrained in my memories.

[@LightsOutdnb]

for some reason my brain goes to Vince Guaraldi / Peanuts (sounds way jazzier when played on the piano vs the game sounds)

[@humansoggycerealmarshmallow]

The opening almost reminds me of Song For All Seasons (by Rennaisance) I know they're not the same chords, but it gives me the same vibes

Aw, stopped just shy of the Hyrule Castle theme...dang. That was the moment for me. That theme. That moment of little kid me feeling the eyes dilate, the goosebumps rise, and the long exhale...I knew I was in for a treat with this game then. Melody carried by the double basses I'm pretty sure.

[@qbasicer]

There's sooo much good music in that game! The fortune teller music always was stuck in my head

[@StewNWT]

Holy hidden leitmotif batman! Not only is the chord ascent in the opening story intro a precursor to Ganondorf's theme, but the chord you play at 3:47 is LITERALLY the exactly same chord and same key as the opening chords to the Ocarina of Time opening. Never realized that before until you played it just now

[@inteligentidiot7233]

I've been playing this game off and on for thirty freaking years and I had the same epiphany, don't know how I missed it. You actually hear it in this game to right before the fight with Ganon.

[@NaturalStateWingChun]

It sounds like Lake Hylia from Twilight Princess as well!

[@bencarroll2708]

and its funny because when he plays the B♮ on top my mind goes straight to majora's mask's song of healing

[@justcomments]

Koji kondo is so good at leitmotifs - he works the melodies into jingles everywhere! I don’t know if he was just a “exec producer” type credit on Super Mario Odyssey, but that has a wonderful original theme referred to again and again

[@461weavile]

The leitmotifs are extremely ingrained, as well. Take a listen to Zelda Music Theory if you want a deep dive into that side of it.

[@JPKocher]

„Zelda II: The Adventure of Link“ (1987) for the NES was the second Zelda game. „A Link to the Past“ is the third.

[@nwcr_]

And yet, a lot of people forget about Zelda 2 lol (me included)

[@SubSpace-bs5fr]

I wonder if he'll ever cover it. Admittedly I only know the Temple theme from Zelda 2 but it's so good man, fucking dark link in melee was rock'n that shit circa 2001.

[@FantasticExplorers]

Correct!

[@twitchthepocket]

its okay, zelda 2 is very forgettable

[@astal3204]

we don't talk about Zelda II

[@radiodread]

One really cool thing about the Great Fairy Fountain theme discussed around 11:40 is that it was very clearly based off of 70s-80s Japanese jazz fusion/city pop. Two good examples are Tatsuro Yamashita's "Morning Glory" and Maria Asahina's "Kokoro no Mamani". Super cool. A Link to the Past has such good music that still holds up today. The game was released 32 entire years ago, and its soundtrack still remains a favourite for me. The Great Fairy Fountain theme could easily put me to sleep. The music played during the ending credits makes me weep (and I'm in my thirties). A great game with a wonderful soundtrack.

[@officialmusictracks]

That particular descending riff is far too common and predates the Japanese who probably took it from jazz. It goes as far back as the song 'the glow worm' by the mills brothers or even Chopin Fantasie Impromptuo. I did an analysis of the music of Zelda if you wanna check it out

[@DayLikeThisBand]

[@Tesserex]

I LOVE that intro cutscene song. It's so nostalgic, and gives such a deep and somber sense of the depth of time in the lore. It fits perfectly with a story about ancient sages sealing off a great power.

[@henrique88t]

I couldn't think of anything better than that song to start off the game running off your house into a storm.

[@rafetizer]

So much atmosphere right off the bat!

[@nine_bone_nick]

I find it interesting how just by him figuring out the notes to a song from ALttP, Charles is accidentally playing other songs from across the Zelda franchise. 3:04 briefly becomes Zelda's lullaby. 3:43 begins exactly like the title theme of Ocarina of Time. And immediately afterwards at 3:48 he's playing all the correct notes for the beginning of the Song of Healing from Majora's Mask.

[@definitelynotatworkrightnow]

And when he introduces the 6 a little after 3:04 you can hear the chord sound like Nocturne of Shadow. It's wild how interwoven it is.

[@justcomments]

All of these themes play so well together as a suite- if you can play an instrument I recommend it!

[@Virenaut]

DUDE 7:50 IS BASICALLY SONG OF HEALING

First! Love your content Charles. The attention you gave streets of rage was awesome. Zelda has amazing music. The composers really used the SNES technology to push great music for Link to the past, Final Fantasy IV, chrono trigger, Super Castlevania, Act Raiser, Super Metroid, etc. My father loved playing Link to the past.

[@drnotes630]

For some reason the dark world theme in a link to the past always stuck out to me as something special. It's a driving minor key heroic march that really drove home that you were in a wild dark place that you were just thrown in to without warning. You have to come out alive and master both the light and dark worlds to be the hero, and the music always amp'd me up

[@LightsOutdnb]

[@phpiano]

For me it's gotta be the final track that only gets played when you've won the game and the credits role. Such a satisfying and feel good track that brings back themes from earlier in the game, as little cut scenes play out with the relevant characters or places, just such a perfect wrap up to the best Zelda game ever.

[@jmartinez8464]

agreed! Also the dark world theme is a very close second

[@jacksonhorn9935]

The introductory cutscene track, which I’ve seen referred to by several names but I always stuck with Seal of the Seven Maidens, might even be my favorite song in the game. Obviously it could be argued that this is the game with the most iconic soundtrack in the entire franchise, laying the foundation for the majority of the series’ recurring themes, but even still I absolutely love this track and I feel like it’s one of the less talked about ones.

[@jacksonhorn9935]

Also, just noticed during Charles’ breakdown that the chord progression is the same, or at least very similar, to Ganon’s theme. Neat.

[@justcomments]

“Seal of the Seven Maidens”! I love that nickname.

[@TomAnderson7]

I still remember the day I got the game on release day. Plugging it in after school then hearing this intro song. The graphics, the music, the thunderstorm. It was magical.

[@LightsOutdnb]

[@outragequitter5027]

It’s not surprising you forgot about Zelda 2, but I bet you didn’t forget about the Temple theme from that game. One of the best NES songs ever

[@mrtoast244]

Link to the Past was my favourite game as a kid. The music made you feel like a hero going through foreign lands. Great Fairy Fountain was also one of the first songs I ever learned on the Guitar and was the entire reason I started to play it in the first place.

[@stephenshadenough]

No game has ever matched this one in my book. Everything just comes together so perfectly, not least the music.

[@JPBrooksLive]

Koji Kondo is so amazing. He could do so much with so little and has such a huge breadth of range. May the way of the hero lead to the Triforce.

[@CaryHawkins]

It's the 3rd Zelda game, I believe. Zelda 1 & 2 both on NES.

Zelda 2 was such a disappointment. Speedruns now look sort of fun, but at the time it was so frustrating.

[@theDubleD]

For me it's the intro that always get's me, that rundown and buildup is so epic.... the main reason i started playing piano is zelda and nintendo music in general. There's one specific video that made me want to play 'Zelda piano Medley, by the channel gluecks'.

[@kiliki90]

This was my first game growing up. I remember replaying it as an adult and crying the first time I heard the music. The entire soundtrack is incredible, but you should definitely check out the Dark World theme and Battle with Ganon. The arpeggios in Battle with Ganon in particular are kind of insane.

[@Elisio_]

[@nickwallette6201]

@@Elisio_ This is more a signature of the SNES's SPC 700 sound chip. It had very little RAM (64K) in which you had to store all the sound samples, the music sequence itself, _the program to play it_ , AND the buffer memory for the built-in delay DSP effects. So the "reverb" you could apply was more of a very short delay with feedback.

The SNES has so much good music from so many games it is just silly. The sound chip on that console was so good for it's time.

Link to the Past music is a great example of music being the emotional lead in such a simple game. Falling rain with the story telling melody at the beginning of the game is a special kind of nostalgia for sure. My favorite part of the soundtrack has to be the intro of the dark world. To have the game blow open after a boss fight and leave you feeling both capable and anxious of what's to come. That and the cue to play is the music itself, once the music hits after the dialogue you know it's your moment and you go down the steps.

As an aspiring composer, Chrono Trigger, LttP, SMW, FFMQ-FF6, MMX, SoM, long list of others from this era all hold special meaning to me and “were the best” in their own ways - I look at the music in this era as the soul of the games they were in.

I Love how many hidden melodies are in this starting track from LttP. Would be great to have a deep dive into Koji Kondo and see how his most influential themes have developed and how some motifs are being re-used for the same kind of feeling in future Zelda games.

Please make a video about Chopin’s Ballade No. 4, especially Krystian Zimerman’s performance.

This work isn’t just in my subjective opinion a masterpiece of music and emotion, it’s objectively a revolutionary piece by arguably the greatest and most important piano composer in history. Chopin has made a significant impact on the development of jazz, especially with his innovations in harmony and rhythm, such as complex polyrhythms that he pioneered and more. As a jazz musician, I believe you’ll recognize how his work laid the groundwork for so much of what came later. He absolutely deserves a video from you!
