Right up there with ya man. Playing this game for the first time was an experience like no other. Having a Nintendo 64 when this game was released meant that you had a privileged childhood. The N64 was an amazing console, largely due to Zelda and so many other great games as well. The soundtrack alone evokes such a wonderful feeling within me, as I'm sure it does with the rest of you. I wish you all the best in your life journey.

[@IamJINCHI.]

This is a good thing to imagine. Back then they were working with a software that effectively looks like a bad version of Excel. They had to physically write notes, without being able to see them on a sheet music composition, so it looked something this for each note Dmaj*4(3rdOct)-2, and then the next note etc, just in a spreadsheet... The kind of stuff that Aphex Twin was working with for a decade before finally getting to help design better UI and synths. It was unbelievably complex, and on top of that every sound was manually edited via analogue consoles. So samples would be loaded into a physical sampler, and then edited to be unique and then sequenced onto a computer software using less than 25mb of memory. Then they had to master them all and compress them to file sizes small enough to keep the high quality and also take up almost no space, which to this day is still impressive because people would have to recreate the songs entirely to get the best quality, but they did so much amphetamine curtesy of the yakuza that 90s Japanese music from Jazz to Video Games is hands down the most complicated and vibe ridden creations ever put out. There had to have been gram after gram of amphetamines just shoved down like peanuts, absolutely no way that industry was sober, while Japan had no rave culture but the Yakuza somehow made hundreds of millions of dollars selling amphetamine in Japan 😅 Gotta respect the grind.

The Legend of Zelda is Art!

Oh, I was waiting for someone to come around and share this nostalgic moment, and eventually, a lovely lady noticed this.

[@acd6374]

Something about these songs being played in an ambiance where we're all grown up brought memories and tears of a time when we were just kids and things were simple.

[@iank3924]

You make people's lives better. Thank you.

[@JordanDPiano]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@German_Kleinigkeit]

I can't even imagine what it's like to listen to this music for the first time without any memory or feeling. A few notes and I'm immediately filled with feelings and thoughts.

[@Eienlanzer]

Middle School. Autumn. Saturday nights with my brother and frozen pizzas. Safety, happiness, adventure. Wonder. 😭

[@noxbammerxweed9292]

The nostalgia that hit me just now. Brought back memories from when the N64 first came out we had Zelda, space invaders, Mk4, and pool 64. Great times

[@hermanmurry2812]

The fairy lake melody always gets me. It's a safe song at the end of a stressful situation.

[@TheTeke0624]

You, in another 50 yrs, at a reunion.......... When a soft medley plays over the hall..... and you feel your ears perk up! A smile comes over your face and a calmness you haven't felt in decades takes over. A calmness unbound by paying bills or being on time for work everyday. A feeling of bliss that only a carefree youth could feel. You remember a person you once were......

Damn ninjas cutting onions 🥷

I love how the one person recognized it at the beginning and turned around so fast like "yes my dude, yes!"

That was just a reaction to suddenly someone playing the piano lol. Relax.

@@omarlfacio the pianist was already playing the piano throughout the whole event. I'm quite sure that sort of reaction would have already happened. He clearly was reacting to a familiar song. I think you need to go smoke a bowl and chill maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

I used to hum Sarias song to my daughter from the day she was born until she could speak. She's almost 8 now and still hums it to herself while playing with her toys and stuff occasionally. Ocarina of Time has been such a blessing on my life. God to be a kid again that Christmas morning playing it for the first time.

[@saintcorvic1194]

Koji is a genius. Such beautiful music for something that was just meant to be fun. I never really understood how beautiful the soundtrack is. It’s special and you don’t get that effect with most games anymore.

Gerudo Valley... my favourite track ever from any Zelda game. It's been my alarm music for goodness knows how long

[@tonypang83]

@@Rykiz_Vidz Because it starts off relatively slow paced - unlike a regular alarm sound that's usually like a siren 😅

[@scorpionwins6378]

1998 I was a middle schooler coming home from another day and plopped down on my beanbag chair and kicked on the N64, not a single care in the world. I'd give almost anything to return back to those days.

The song selection for the medley is too outstanding!Piano makes me feel chill.

[@itsScoots]

I absolutely love the chatter in the background almost accompanying the arrangement.

[@SmokeyChipOatley]

Like little koroks mingling at a wedding taking place at the foot of the Deku Tree in the Lost Woods. “For dinner, choice of single grilled hearty shroom or steamed mushroom medley kabobs with wild Hylian rice. Both entrées to be served with Silent Princess salad with a korok seed vinaigrette.”

[@dave0754]

It’s disappointing no one reacted. There must not have been any Zelda fans. Anyone who’s played ocarina of time would recognize the melodies. I still remember how thrilled I was to receive it for Christmas and playing it for the first time. Thank you for posting!

[@minizimi3790]

It’s pretty solid. But there are so many games that also are crazy good. Indie Games off the top of my head such as Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest (absolutely insane OST), any of Super Giant Games, then more main stream franchises such as Fire Emblem’s banger OSTs such as Shadows of Valentia, maybe Halo Reach or 3, there’s just so many gorgeous music from games.

Indeed

I'm sorry to all the new Zelda fans, but OOT has by FAR the best music! It's not even close. I wish they cared as much now as they did in the past about stuff like music and story. The music was simple and so beautiful! Thank you for playing this!

[@Landonomous]

All the music in that game was based off the 4 or 5 notes you could use to play the ocarina. I will say their worse Zelda game Skyward sword had a really good OST as well with BOTW being 3rd.

[@aThoms101]

The game itself was centered around music through Ocarina. And I wish all Zelda games had music power like that. MM had it, Twilight princess a little with the howling and it just went downhill from that

[@GilbertLMusic]

The Fairy Fountain theme and Zelda's Lullaby are from A Link to the Past.

[@denrico777]

I'm not disagreeing. Oot will always be the most special loz game for me. And the oot title screen music is one of my favorites from any genres of music. But botw is in the running for sure. The rito theme, the castle music, and a few others from botw are absolutely incredible.

[@LincolnPenner]

Agreed OOT is the most memorable, but Hyrule Castle in BOTW is 🔥
