[@uhdil9976]

Used to just hang out in the observatory and let this loop, loved this track back then and still do. Such a deceptively dark game i now realize.

[@princesszelda125]

almost impossible to not choke up or tear up listening to this 😢😢 one of the most beautiful pieces of music in any Zelda game

[@Kevduit]

This music has been awesome ever since it started, hylianensemble, to hours on hours of listening to your music, I SALUTE YOU!

[@Artanicman]

Ja yeah!!!

[@elliotgandersen]

Even while watching this I still want to listen to more of this song.

[@StarVerix]

When ever i think of this song i think of Christmas, The spirit of the season to be exact. Sometimes i even rethink my life and question the universe.

[@tuttoegaming3404]

deep

[@Mineing200]

Serves its purpose

[@Atroz7]

I want to have a grandfather clock that plays this every 12 hours. "oh its noon time to reflect on my life like a total badass"

[@Tomversal]

I always find the astral observatory sad and depressing, it makes me feel....defeated.

[@SupremeBoii99]

Same...

[@MaruchanPrime]

I actually find it quite calming, especially in a world like Termina, where a moon is always pressuring you to get a move on, but in here I feel like it's a happy space in a dark atmosphere. This song just makes me feel safe.

[@daru_malo]

The composition is very ambiguous... the instrumental gives it either an epic dimension, or dramatic, or sad, or truely happy... Strange song, but i love it

[@totallyjerd1751]

I honestly think that it sounds quite inspirational. It makes you want to get up. It is almost as if it is whispering, "Get up or I'll sew your skin into a pair of socks for Dobby. #FreeElf." Beautiful, no?

[@snakepliskin23]

It makes me feel like I'm taking accountability for all my fuck ups whether I like it or not

[@Anna-jt2pn]

Very late comment but I've been listening to this for years, and it still means the world to me. I wrote lyrics I thought would go along with this, and it's one of the most passionate projects I've ever worked on. Bottom line, you are a fantastic creator and your music inspires me.

[@daemondoodles]

Did you put the lyrics anywhere?

[@spr_g_follower_2]

Ikana believe how much emotion this song has for me.

[@JaiAndDev]

Easily my FAVORITE track from this game. So beautiful.

[@ModelsAtWar]

Always been a favourite song of mine. So serene. Maybe I’ll be the old man running an observatory one day

[@Kden21]

Gonna be honest this rendition certainly has the "end of the world" vibe to it

[@stajesmijesno]

..soothingly melancholic

[@MashedJoetatoes]

A moon's tear landed on the dislike button.

[@1M00NBarker]

Joe Lacroix I love how it has stayed that way for so long :)

[@michaelmarshall2473]

Joe Lacroix i'm laughing way more than i should be omg x'D

[@GuzzleGulp]

The moon just couldn't stop crying over the like button for your comment, either.

[@ShiruKitty]

its 6 now.

[@middaysmusic1997]

7 now

[@PercipientFish]

Positively wonderful. It really captures the feeling of looking up into a night sky.

[@Jestizer]

i love playing this on the piano at night when the moon is clearly visible ^^

[@aaroncamp59]

simply beautiful

[@mbletz3958]

Can you give me sheet music? I really want to play this song.... please...

[@eliluminado7112]

in noteflight you can take the sheet music

[@blekksverd]

Another beautiful remix. I really like how different from the original song your remixes can get, all while maintaining some of the same feeling. This is mysterious like the original, but also happy and somewhat emotional.

[@ikonta169]

An escape from the troubles of the world, a need to relax. Set your sights upon the heavens, the stars guide you, the night ever watching. The stars mourn. That peace now missing, the moon's tears rain upon the world. To see these things that no one else can, you bear the responsibility of that ability. A hero's work is never done for in order to heal the land one must also heal the skies, but where to start? Would you like to look through the telescope? The moon's sorrow rains upon the land.

[@hylianensemble]

They are all free to use, and there is no obligation to credit me either.

[@Burriamcold]

So many goosebumps.

[@masterbetty3020]

Termina's flat and the moon is close and localized.

[@carlosmarques6067]

Parece como si no importara lo que sucediera fuera, como si estuviera apartado de la realidad, seguro, pero todo mientras la realidad sucede, un escape a simple vista esperanzador pero que no hace más que acercarte a la desgracia. Nunca fue tan impactante mirar por la rendija a la realidad, y ver como se burla en tu cara con una grotesca sonrisa.

[@SinaSing]

Thanks for making all of our lives a bit better :)

[@WolfgerLion]

nice, some reason Im hearing the song "What a wonderful world" in this

[@fakelars]

fav song from majoras mask!

[@DJ_Raywave]

I absolutely loved this theme.. If I could stay there forever, I certainly would. Well, technically, I could, rewind time and then head back, but eh. Hehe.

[@Naytorin]

Good to have you back, maestro.

[@Exodia64]

Beautiful! Another b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l interpretation, as can only be expected :)

[@carterpeevy5224]

I was beginning to fear that I wouldn't hear any more of your wonderful orchestrations since it had been a few months. Glad to see you are back and making amazing music as usual!

[@JessicaBeeboop]

So beautiful

[@Aephage]

so fucking chill

[@starlight0011]

I've been waiting for another video! Yay! :)

[@sarahdanalala6669]

beautiful

[@pokemaster8956]

Best Re-orchestrated music ever. You're the best.

[@marcofemto9417]

The observatory felt like the calmest and most peaceful place in that world. As if Link would hangout there and learn if he didnt have to save Termina

[@On1Zuk4-Sensei]

You've met a terrible fate, haven't you ?

[@dekugren8372]

Thats my favorite song of this game/ esta es mi canción favorita del juego

[@blasfemiaviviente1424]

Es increíble como transmite tantas emociones tantos sentimientos, una melodia sin voz pero que habla

[@Hawkeye9901]

Another great video!

[@DukeNukemFl]

and just like that the best memories from my mostly bad childhood coming rushing back

[@PlasticRarity]

Total Eclipse today. Listened to this, cried.

[@tacticianmatt3791]

This is an amazing remix.... I never realized the hidden potential this song had0-0

[@omberonilink4118]

I was listening to this while watching the moon from outside. :)

[@SuichiFrontier]

maravilloso. exelent.

[@ButterPrincess99]

So majestic

[@walas3973]

Fuera de la ciudad, viendo el cielo con esta música te llena de energía.

[@SirSquigglez]

When I hear this I think of the ending and the Carnival of Time. At last there is tranquility after a almost never ending cycle of doom.

[@NatureIsAwesomeGermany]

Awesome, just awesome :D

[@JesusGarcia-yl4lp]

beautiful

[@Sonofdog420]

This song always reminded me of The Labyrinth with David Bowie

[@Zeldadude-cq2ys]

This song sent me into tears when someone made a collage of photos of my old school

[@CloudStrifeZX]

So link is capable of changing the fate of an entire realm.....he´s truly amazing

[@aquinprime]

but he cant speak

[@CloudStrifeZX]

Aquin Prime XD

[@Frabjous1]

Aquin Prime Neither can Stephen Hawking without tech assistance, and who knows how dramatically he's changed our fate.

[@EnzoLeboldFreeMusicInside]

Frabjouss How dramatically Stephen Hawking changed the fate of the realm of reality? Not at all. He may made fascinating Discoveries, but that should be about it i think.

[@Frabjous1]

Enzo Lebold Perhaps, but his work in the field of physics may lead to many more discoveries over time, some of which may affect our fate, especially if they are applied to the field of engineering.

[@CRUSH40RULES]

I keep hearing that Majora's Mask is going to be on the 3ds soon. I may be 20 but I don't care! I cannot wait.

[@dampflokfreund]

You are 20, and...?

[@MashedJoetatoes]

I love being part of the 90s generation.. I made it just in time!

[@harald2011]

Haha, you believe MM is a kids game? that's why you're almost ashamed of being 20? This game is dark as the darkest side of the world.. if you dig deep enough into the story, you will find a lot of creepy things and tbh, you don't really have to dig that deep.. this game should be rated R18. Creepy as fuck

[@princesszelda125]

Joe Lacroix the 90s generation had it the best tbh XD best most magical childhood i could ever ask for c:

[@MashedJoetatoes]

Considering video games were just really being introduced, we were still active and outside more. But rainy days were awesome, loved getting to play LoZ or Mario Cart 64.

[@aaronmylove8019]

Why? This is one of the very few songs where I feel like, im, "apart" of the song. So powerful yet so little views..This needs to be noticed.

[@IWUVLink]

I love you.

[@Eliwood407]

Now I have a question for you. How come these pieces of art are not dragging in millions of views?! I don't question the quality.. hell no! I question the fact people don't know about it :(

[@cynderssister8353]

When I first heard this song I completely hated it. Just a year later I played it on an endless loop on my phone...

[@Forgetyoubob]

love

[@PotatoMere]

Very gorgeous arrangement! I would love to use this for a vocal cover, and give you credit!

[@ScorpionOwnYa]

Welcome back! :D

[@verdicktrobin]

You're back!

[@hiddentreeninja]

Please do more! :)

[@987sedapS]

Yes. Hell yes. Hell. Fucking. Yes.

[@didokay]

Perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@denispetsch7543]

Hey where are you? I miss these Zelda tunes! This is amazing.

[@Gerb-boa]

weasome song! tanks hylianensemble!

[@sh56arah]

😍😍😍

[@LocksAndChains]

This is going to sound weird, but this always made me think of Harry Potter. I read the first three books (the only ones out at the time) when I was playing this game and its predecessor. The observatory with its spiral staircase and glittering mystery, coupled with the wise old man in blue made me think of Dumbledore's office.

[@godzelda123]

Yay your back! Please do some more recent Zelda music! Like stuff from Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess PLEASE!!!

[@PrincessOfTheEnd]

Midna's theme would be freaking epic done by these guys.

[@shadeymcbones6707]

i'd probobly still credit you when i use your music anyways xD its awesome

[@monk35wm]

They need to do the Wolf version of The song of healing, that song means so much to me, it just reminds me of the great the HoT felt after his adventures in hyrule and Termina.

[@camilserapian7675]

In search for the unknown .

[@HeroZX]

awesome (TwT)

[@Spylugia]

It's you! :oo

[@godzelda123]

@monk35wm. I agree. There are a lot of other tracks from TP that would sound epic. Like Midna's theme or Hyrule Field theme.

[@369hc]

well, its very melodical and it's great your work, i think it'll great a song of widnwaker, song like laruto's lament or the legendary hero, i dont remember his name, but he play the violin

[@nishai]

Excellent! Amazing Job. Are they under a creative commons licence?

[@angeloangelo2954]

EAR CRACK

[@Nawkk]

[@JEHtman007]

Are you allowing anyone to use this music as long as they credit you?

[@pokemaster8956]

@hylianensemble Btw, I am curious as to how you make this wonderful music. Care to share a bit?

[@freehealthcare8203]

wtf i just noticed the guy hanging himself in the artwork

[@aflyingsaucer4787]

holy shit!

[@crossbreedpriscilla8966]

He only works on remixes of games he's familiar with i think he said.

[@Nightmarechs75]

can you make a play list of all your Zelda songs?

[@BrunoHalpern]

You could do some of Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword!

[@HoffayStudios35]

What is the little humanoid creature attached to the tree on the right? It looks kinda like a Pikmin lol. 0:00 - 1:53

[@MashedJoetatoes]

I theorize it is the son of the Deku-butler.

[@gumgrapes]

That picture is actually concept art, from before the game was really finalized and they knew what they were making. Do you kind of get the different...feeling about it? Not quite the same atmosphere of the game, huh? Notice the moon doesn't even have a face. It could just be a little cut detail we never actually got to see.

[@theknightstemplar8418]

Dude think what the atmosphere majora mask is, it the end of the world and people when to drastic measure to put them out of there misery, such a sad story

[@dxxm9999]

I think it's the Deku Mask.

[@ShadowBlaze2288]

second!

[@ThePhreakass]

:D

[@PrincessOfTheEnd]

yeah but why would anyone NOT credit you? i mean, its not like they could use all your music in the same video, and anyone who heard the music would want to hear more, so why wouldn't anyone put your channel for more people to hear your awesome music?

[@PrincessOfTheEnd]

to be honest I'd be fine with wind waker :P

[@Cian_Nox]

Who is the artist of this songs?

[@yassirhamdi1270]

Koji Kondo

[@dragonwarriorz1]

Koji Kondo is the *original* artist, yes. Otherwise, this channel, Hylian Ensemble, created these renditions, I think.

[@elama293]

TwinRova disliked this song too.

[@ShiruKitty]

how do you know?

[@swinetastic]

7 dislikes on this .. like whaaaaaat!?=

[@hylianensemble]

Cubase + tons of vsti and sample libraries. Boring stuff, and not hard at all.
