Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Light and Darkness (Zant's Theme)

[@Undulatetrout92]

This is why I love twilight princess so much, such a creepy soundtrack with a very dark undertone which just is MMMM SO GOOD

[@hnatc9467]

Ikr I love creepy music too

HNATC & the world Meee tooo

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

Fr, I get chills whenever I hear this song!

[@OneWingedHeron53]

I played the game again and I must say, I now know why Zant has been chosen over Skull Kid for psychotic villain to appear in Hyrule Warriors. Zant; for most of the game, is extremely calm and has something up his sleeve for whatever gets in his way. Zant brought ruin to two worlds and would have succeeded in ruling the world if they didn't ignore that little backwater town where Link just happens to reside in.

[@viktorthevictor6240]

I know I'm one year late, but I'm pretty sure Ganondorf would betray Zant and take the world for himself if they would have succeeded. But otherwise you're right.

[@kitti3thesnake581]

i agree with "@Viktor the victor" who replied to you, but you are 1000% percent right otherwise

[@Master_Brutus]

Zant did actually try to attack the Ordon Province, but was a little late and Link intercepted.

[@s1lentpr1ncess]

True…

[@iamhuman6033]

It still applies 7 years later. And zant would have died to ganondorf or link, so it was easier for the story to continue because he attacks ganondorf at the end of the game

[@maxrichards3881]

Honestly, the reveal of Zant’s true nature works so well for me. He’s been putting on a facade, a guide of confidence and intimidation, as long as he’s been one step ahead and in control. But now the things are going wrong for him, and his reign is most likely going to come to an end, his true self slips back in to seize control.

[@Jordan-wv2xz]

Honestly, that's my take on it as well. Zant is perfectly capable of faking being civil and even sane...if things are going his way. Does wonders for his confidence. When they *aren't*, then comes the temper tantrums. He's basically a spoiled brat.

Zant being a Psychopathic Manchild with a theme like this is eerily similar to Patrick Star’s moment in the episode Nature Pants. “If I can’t have you as a friend… I’m gonna make you a trophy! I even picked out this nice jar for you!”

My only complaint about this game. Zant was an awesome and completely original villain. Then they just cast him aside for Ganondorf last minute.

[@AnimatedTerror]

I will say I like how ganondorf is characterized in the game. He’s so far gone. Not even ocarina was so… nuts. But yeah if zant could have kept the spotlight it probably would have been for the best. Or at least introduce ol dorf a little earlier so it feels less sudden.

[@Archon3960]

Just like any other new villain these days. Except for Yuga who casted Ganon aside. X)

[@TwiliSleepy]

I kinda disagree. What makes Zant such an interesting villain is that he’s trying way too hard to be an intimidating force, but underneath the mask he’s pathetic and he throws tantrums like a child. Ganondorf shows us precisely what Zant wants to be, it gives us someone to compare him to, and making Zant an underling of Ganondorf really enhances Zant's character that way.

[@Archon3960]

@@TwiliSleepy And boy, was I not disappointed when they amped it up to 11 in the Manga adaptation of _Twilight Princess,_ mixed up with his feelings of insecurity. :) Ganondorf was great in this too.

[@5brags455]

"So I heard you were talking shit."

[@Bazonkaz]

lmao

[@Jacob_G9]

Something i like about this theme is it fits BOTH sides of Zant. The Zant that we first met is cold, calculating, efficient and wins, he's far more of a threat than anything else in the game at that point, and the theme fits that, it's slow, horrific, it fits into a horror movie where the killer is stalking thier prey, waiting for the perfect kill. but when we see what Zant is Really like, it's a copletely different feeling, Zant is mad, moves like a kid that's been forced a drug, genuinely unnerving in it's own way, but the theme still fits, the song's base melody is akin to a music box, warping and twisting as it goes on, the strings go on for long periods, almost sounding like voices, loud Drums are put in seeming at random, it would belong in a mental ward gone horribly wrong. It's simply just... Zant.

[@aarong1092]

TP is totally fine for kids lol. First played it when I was 7 and loved it to bits. The only thing I'd be concerned about is some scary visuals for very young kids, but at that point they wouldn't be old enough to understand how to play the game anyway (Still applies if they're watching you play ofc.) If you want to talk about a game that's better for older audiences, MM is a great example. There's nothing concerning about it, but the overarching themes and details are much more appreciated by an older audience.
