Original song by Koji Kondo

[@FonikoKazanaki]

When I played Majora's mask as a kid, I didn't get much so I was cool with it. When I played it again as an adult it freaked the shit out of me, it's so different and unique.

[@BenteinBjerke]

Damn straight it is!

[@xashes6552]

+Josh JeanJacket Jaeger The new zelda hasn't got any creepy enemies or places. I'm disappointed because of that. It would have worked so well in that game: Redeads, poes human stalfos, places like ikana, kakariko well...

[@c0untert0p]

It doesn't!? darn... i was hoping for some scary as heck redheads and ikana type places when i got my hands on the game...

[@ethanvalentine1078]

Hunter Fort Scary redheads, eh?

[@xashes6552]

Hunter Fort I think you mean redeads, haha

[@NerdStuffGaming]

Man Koji Kondo must have put himself in a real dark place to embrace this games feelings of hopelessness and death to compose this beautiful music. This is a fantastic version too!

[@maks_____]

Its almost insane that the man didn't get insanely depressed from working on it. This is the man that made soundtracks for yoshi games around the same time as this one. Yoshi games.

[@nemooceansoul1137]

@@maks_____ -points out that actually all of zelda series has those themes of hopelessness, loss, and anguish if you really pay attention. just Majora's mask is more overt about it.

[@maks_____]

@@nemooceansoul1137 kinda, though I'd still say that despair and hopelessness are central themes for this game. That's something that definitely can't be said for most of the zelda games.

[@DJPon7]

Just remember that BoTW II is said to just be as dark or darker than Majora's Mask, so be ready.

[@kenouk6183]

when i was a kid,once i had a nightmare, behind the skull kid's mask there was this heart shaped face, with the same eyes as the mask, but no skin, it was all muscle, and it had a smile on his face, oh but not a nice smile.. no.. and it started laughing with that horrible laugh of nightmares today im 22 and i still can clearly see that face and that smile as if i just wope up from that nightmare....

[@IamshinyCM]

Too bad that behind the mask is just a bunch of straw, beady eyes and a tiny beak

[@mightyiron5552]

I wish I had your nightmares.

[@RedHatGuyYT]

Can you draw it? I wanna see it!

[@BasedRoots]

I had a multiple reoccurring dreams about the tree inside the moon, the belt of mountains, the field. The little hill. Before I ever reached the moon. The day I reached the moon, my jaw dropped in shock and I left the room. I got big Truman show vibes. It’s was too picture perfect. I know it’s such an archetypal image but that was the greatest shock I ever had. I felt like it was a memory but not mine. It’s a strange feeling.

[@IamshinyCM]

@Natrix The Monster A scary face would really spice things up

[@PhazonSpear]

The original song has always been a personal favorite of mine from MM, and hearing it here...wow. You got the mood just right. The thunderstorm throughout...the slow, methodical pace. With the loud piano about halfway through striking chords. And that ending. I got goosebumps as it started to get more intense. As if to say 'This is the end...a fiery, cataclysmic end that you can't stop.' You slowly await the end of the song as it gets more intense, and then dies out slowly...Bravo on making quite frankly, the best remix of this song I've ever heard.

[@Gamedraco]

Now this theme truly sounds like Armageddon.

[@Hex430]

haha...hah....AHAHAHAHAHAHAH sorry.

[@H3RB4L1S3R]

Imagine a post-apocalyptic setting, you're standing somewhere up high, and you're looking down on the wasteland us humans have created while this plays. I'd feel so much regret and sorrow :(

[@crazycanadian7223]

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

[@raymondjoannette8052]

You feel this is end, you think there is no more time to wast, you know that there is nothing you can do for it, everyone is whatching to the sky buring by a giant wave of fire, you start having despair, no one can handle this, you know death is near you. But at the end, you realised that you had a good life and bad things that made you stronger than before, Accept the reality and don't fear whats is beyond death. Good night everyone

[@Naofumi-Iwatani]

But it refused...

[@deffdefying4803]

They bring health to the soul, They wake you from sleep. They sooth a child's anguish, They, a promise keep. They build an army, They unfold your wings. They slow the doom The third day brings. Time ticks by, Fate draws near, O Giants, hear my songs, And save my friends dear. I am not good at poems.

[@honeyflash1]

Jeffrey Stanley Seemed pretty good to me.

[@moirapalace3946]

1. Song of Healing. 2. Sonata of Awakening. 3. Goron's Lullaby. 4. Oath to Order/New Wave Bossa Nova(?) 5. Elegy of Emptiness. 6. Song of Soaring. 7. Inverted Song of Time. I'm guessing that's all the songs mentioned in order. Did I get it right?

[@deffdefying4803]

Moira Palace It was New Wave Bossa Nova. The second to last line was meant to be "song" not "songs", as in Oath to Order.

[@moirapalace3946]

Jeffrey Stanley Ah. My bad. ^^;

[@deffdefying4803]

Moira Palace No no, don't worry! You weren't to know. :)

[@seiromem5708]

Great work! Have to say though, would of been better with the bells. The damned bells.

[@PwrMiner]

idk what it is, but whenever i listen to the final hours theme, i have a feeling of..... being hopeless.... knowing that i am going to die, and there's nothing i can do to stop my fate to come....... there's nothing i can do to stop any of it, since im only human.... but then, i realize to accept it. to accept my fate, and scream, "bring it on!", in death's face

[@d5dizzler962]

Beats me. At least you picked an awesome profile picture before death, so you're covered. :)

[@PwrMiner]

XD oh god thats awesome. made my day

[@d5dizzler962]

You're welcome. :)

[@mikepro500]

7 people did not return to the past.

[@joueusedelacave7798]

mikepro500 7 people shouldn't have done that!

[@zerotwo3298]

And in turn 7 people suffered a fiery explosive death!!

[@SleepyPengu1n]

+mikepro500 7 people met a terrible fate, didnt they?

[@joshuaprouty8139]

A year later it's still just 7 people who haven't returned

[@DreadzKaiser]

with hat attitude I imagine everyone is allergic to you

[@namelesshero4153]

"The game is ogre" "Your out of time" "You couldn't save these people" "Now you'll watch them die"

[@ZatClaire]

Might I ask if these lyrics go to anything?

[@iZephiirES]

Damn, this music was the only thing I wanted to hear when I finished Majora's Mask ... It have this feelings that the world's end and you can't do nothing ... Itt's sad to see that everybody's about to die in this game ... So depressing #NostalgiaFeels

[@blipsqueek]

i actually started crying listening to this...dont know why...

[@edobriensgrin]

Maybe because it is about the end of the world. It doesn't get more tragic than that - and this piece conveys the emotion perfectly

[@texasred5665]

wow, what are you guys 6? just enjoy the music, its beautiful man

[@jeweetzelf734]

Ben Gorter i was just joking man :p

[@heezyfosheezy1762]

+Ben Gorter that prolly why he cried, beautiful childhood memories

[@1angelicdemon1]

A true great tragedy is the inability to have a heart that bleeds tears of sorrow for the many when there is no life to connect to that can provide comfort no more. It is then replaced with destruction carnage and despair. Fear will ravage the mind and love shall be distanced from the many. We will be abandoned lost. The third kingdom the kingdom of man will be no more. This will be a day we are no more this is the song of many endings. May we find rest when justice shall avenge the many that have been betrayed by the world of greed hate lust and murder of the sick and twisted. The heart truly yearns greatly through times of peril. It's a sad story really.

[@charlesmartin9889]

It's quite the coinkydink that hylian ensemble did Final Hours, and it's quite long, and he hasn't uploaded since

[@TheHylianJuggalo]

Also that it's been quite long and you haven't aged since, but that's beside the point :p

[@charlesmartin9889]

TheHylianJuggalo That isn't something to bring up here.

[@TheHylianJuggalo]

Three months later you reply. And yes, it is. WHERE IS THE FOUNTAIN!? TELL ME!

[@charlesmartin9889]

TheHylianJuggalo Nu. Link told me not to tell you where the fountain is in Tangerine County, FloridaFUCK

[@TheHylianJuggalo]

...Florida. Nope. Not worth it.

[@xYamakaze]

My favorite song in MM by far, gives off the gentle sweet melody in the beginning with the hidden meaning of doom and hopelessness for those who haven't ever played the game, but otherwise so suspenseful and worrying as you try to finish up with what little time you have left. My favorite game by far

[@littleg5664]

Do not hasten yourself, for the last sand has fallen. Accept the end with grace, and wait for the last beat. Do not falter, for the end is inevitable. In the end, You've been met with a terrible fate, have you not?

[@elusivelegend9136]

Does anyone else find this relaxing?

[@kid14346]

0:32 ualglaslghalsuaguahghag *weeps* Don't do that!

[@h2othewaterhedgehog361]

You've met a terrible fate You look above you and see the moon staring down at you, ready to end your world At times like these you pray to God that some miracle will save you, but it is far too late You are in the final hours, you cry, panic, run, then you see you are left empty, with no emotions or thoughts, you then see the end is inevitable You go to your loved ones, you hug them, kiss them, you tell the children everything will be alright, when you know it's over So tell me... You've met a terrible fate Haven't you Link?

[@Cerou94]

Was anyone else hoping to hear the Song of Time at the very end?

[@BenteinBjerke]

Why would anyone want to hear that at the end if they are not expecting it?

[@spencerwest9288]

Yes, I was.... :(

[@d5dizzler962]

Me too.

[@ShiruKitty]

me toooooooooo!

[@GeneralGorillaSonicOC]

11 people have met with a terrible fate, Haven't they?

[@dewbs815]

These are so amazing! If you plan on doing more, I'd love to hear Midna's Lament or Farewell Hyrule King from Wind Waker

[@HoffayStudios35]

I agree with both.

[@cynderssister8353]

On the third day, the final day, the clock rings true. But the moon comes falling down on top of you. And the Skull Kid sings for the day is done. And the drums beat in time with our hearts For only Death can save us now From the eternal darkness This may be the final hour No new day will ring But together we lived and together we will fall. Goodbye, fair Termina...

[@PauloRicardo-ev4om]

I would like to play a game with Ganondorf using Majora´s Mask.

[@sailordarty9032]

If it were the end of the world, I...I don't know what I would do. Almost every fiber of my being says "You're going to run, run as far away as you can and as fast as you can!" But then there's this tiny part of me that says "Stay, stay and watch the majesty of the end, then think to yourself, 'Is this really the end? Really and for Truly?' What should I do?"

[@gabrielandrada7440]

The part were the drums come in is were the true feeling of armeggeddone coming

[@princesszelda125]

You sure did an amazing job making this video scary AF. THAT DAMN MOON, ESPECIALLY THE MASK SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. Ok I'm having nightmares tonight... for some reason this game was just "eh another zelda game" when I was younger but now it freaks the shit out of me because I just realized how dark and damn freaky it is

[@Duhemsounds]

Sad, Epic, Powerful, there's everything needed in this track, very nice work

[@AriochStarr]

Relistening to this again, and I have tears welled in my eyes. It's simply perfect by every definition of the word.

[@Meowcat2226]

So many great poets in the comment section XD

[@fakelars]

Midori Yakumo tru xD

[@darkbowser4909]

that's true. did you see the comment section of the original music ? because there is even more poets but I noticed this kind of comment only on the final hours' musics

[@chiron7455]

Ikr?

[@TheMormonSorceress]

Is it just me or dose the mask look like it's staring into your soil?

[@LamanKnight]

Yes, but it can look at my soil all it wants. It will still sprout seeds regardless of whether anybody is watching the soil or not. ;) (But yes, I do know what you meant to say.)

[@cameronreyno7175]

LamanKnight hehe.

[@Hawkent]

"staring into your soil" kek

[@cameronreyno7175]

haha

[@moirapalace3946]

I don't know about my soil, but it does feel like it's staring into my soul.

[@Drallion_Tyanu]

2022, and this is still by far my favorite version of final hours

[@takeshiC1]

This song.. it's like... you've failed.. But you're a Zelda player, you know that time is on your side..

[@bovineapples7209]

I'm pretty sure everyone will hear this at the end of the year for 2020

[@Amestrian]

My Reaction : oh this is going to be a pretty rendition- *lighting flashes/ heart stops*

[@tinydoom1]

Beautiful doesn't cover it. It's powerful, urgent, and sorrowful. It's the perfect apocalyptic song. Goddamn

[@pirategamer6630]

Lowkey thinking of drafting a Majora's Mask Live Action film out of my own boredom now..

[@Austin_Schulz]

I loved the music so much, I waited for that game over.

[@kirov33cp]

The music is great. Well done. However, it's at a bad time because I just got off of work and just walked into the house where my wife is only to tell me that my children's grandmother is dying and that she was in her final hours. Not even 5 minutes later. This music shows up in my recommendations with the title of final hours. I know that our phones listen to us, but in this case it almost feels like a cruel joke. I will not bash the music however because it is indeed. Well done❤😢

[@mistprowen3157]

Watched this in a pitch black room on a true black screen. Best way to watch hands down.

[@TheWarrior2387]

Good lord that thunder sounds so crisp.

[@legomini9637]

Tick tock goes the clock up until the final hours

[@oneof333]

[@Molybed1]

This song went from 0 to 60 real quick.

[@kevinmichaelgriffin]

I just finished going through all of your videos today, and I've got so much I'd like to tell you that I'm going to split this into two comments. I think your work is absolutely fantastic. I listen to a lot of video game remixes (I have one playlist with 1800 of them, and that's only the best ones), and several of your renditions have been the best renditions I've ever heard, even beating out the originals and/or Nintendo orchestra versions. They're not always the catchiest, but....

[@SpookieD00kie]

Getting serious shadow of the Colossus from this. I love it

[@kevindenis9551]

This is the song that shall play when Ragnarok begins, the beginning of the end as Surtr raises his burning sword swearing war against all the gods in Asgard and Midgard. Though he too shall fall, he will strike the world with a final blow, sending it all aflame. This world will burn away, and from its ashes, a new world shall be born and thus the circle begins anew. So it goes.

[@ScoutsManyMarshes]

Definitely a masterpiece of a remix!

[@heysup8889]

[@kevinmichaelgriffin]

....but your instrument/production quality, and your arrangements, set the standard that others should strive for. I'd also like to sincerely thank you for including the composer credits in the descriptions, and for allowing us to DL the songs for free. That's the true spirit of the remix community. And if I may ask, it'd be really nice if you mentioned the game that the songs are from too, and included some links to the images that you use in your videos. (if they're fan art, that is.)

[@elliotandersen3439]

[@elliotandersen3439]

Your time is almost done But that doesn't meant you haven't won For thou art truly a hero of time And has restored many to their prime Soon twelve will strike And that is you time to fight Fight the demons Slay the evils Call for your friends With their help this land you shall cleanse Through many hardships you still stand Over ice mountains and grass lands Over pirate seas and a ghost town And now you face the moon You will not die Though you've met a terrible fate You will continue to stand on high Because this is you life you can create
