[Music] Okami - Orca's Theme

[@slavicsandvich5967]

So um yeah, here's a funny story. I was working for my hours at my school taking out our garbage and listening to music at the same time. I threw in the bag as this song came on and at that very moment bees came from the bin and chased me, just as this song was at 1:57. Scared the heck out of me while this majestic music was playing, and the scene itself was quite hilarious.

[@slavicsandvich5967]

XD

[@some_meme6707]

wow

[@barraki92reborn]

Now I'm just imagining some poor guy being chased by bees while this majestic music is playing in the background.

[@okami6399]

What's scarier? Being chased by an enraged water dragon or bees?

[@annamcdowell4500]

Bees.

[@luma2172]

This game is a REAL MASTERPIECE

[@drowsygengar]

Am i the only one that ABSOLUTELY ADORES Orca's voice??? It's SO SO SO ADORABLE!!! it makes me wanna hug and squeeze the cute little whaley!!!

[@Draxial_]

This music somehow always manages to get me back to feel better. Wether sad for something complex, like a lost friend/relative/love/job, or something as simple as going bad on a test. With this uplifting rhythm/tone, and great choose of tones, peaks, and feelings, i always feel that i can overcome my fears, sadnesses and worries. It feels like a story of how everything is going to be fine, from the worst place inside a black hole to the best place of the universe. I really just wish it was longer than a minute(not repeating itself over and over). It feels like it could tell us much more if had more minutes.. Then again, a simple "hello, i hope you feel better and you are a wonderful person, remember that!" might be a better antidote than a long conversation, heh.

[@Darth_Revan25]

Anyone get the feeling that the squeak at 1:26 represents a seagull or other seabird squawking over the ocean as Ammy and Orca sail out from the shore? I've always suspected the sound is that.

[@AlethrialTheElvenEmpress]

Yes, that’s how I take it

[@jodiest.antoine8610]

wind waker mixed with japanise instroments

[@SuperMonaLisaBros]

There's a bass clarinet heard in the background. A lot of the Okami tracks have western instruments in the mix, so kudos to Okami for diversity!

[@DivineBeastVahMedoh]

way better than wind waker

[@phaan2856]

@@DivineBeastVahMedoh eh, i think they are both pretty good

[@DivineBeastVahMedoh]

@@phaan2856 no WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better

[@slowpoke8585]

I like this theme better than the sailing theme in Wind Waker! This feels like you're truly experiencing a grand adventure. It's beautiful. :)

[@FortressWolf97]

It made me feel sad this theme doesn’t play once you get the ability to walk on water and don’t really need Orca to travel the waters anymore.

[@Buff55]

Best water music next to the sailing theme from the phantom hourglass. The song just makes it feel like an epic adventure is about to start.

[@reginal.898]

As soon as I catch that Shiny Kyogre, I'll name him "Shachimaru". I listened to this beauty of a track when I decided that. I fell in love with the track even before knowing where it appeared.

[@Vladislak]

I've played through Okami and every Zelda game, the spirit they share and feelings they evoke are absolutely phenomenal. I'm saddened that the original developers of Okami (Clover studios) dissolved, but I'm still pretty excited for Okamiden. If nothing else I can't wait to see the world of Okami expanded upon.

[@williampatrick2971]

Did you play BOTW or TOTK?

[@YinTheShadowSorserer]

Why is that fish smiling? Its creeping me out. ~Issun

[@FirestarroxSR]

Played this song while watching some downhill skiing. Amazing

[@MayaMachina-n8s]

Legend of zelda: the wind waker

[@Justin.002]

Right lol? It also sounds a bit Hyrule Field-ish.

[@virgovertigo322]

Legend of Bark, The Wind Painter

[@TreeckoANDGrovyle]

Ahem. I believe the correct quote is "I'm second to none when it comes to swimming. Even that Water Dragon's no match for me!" ... God I'm a nerd....

[@ZombieMushmom]

Wind Waker was my favorite Zelda game, just because of the..feel. Iunno how to describe it, but Okami fans should understand how to like something just because of the 'feel' of the game XD

[@KrymsonScale]

Okami has the most moving sound track I hear, turn from boredom to emotional in a split second.

[@洪家章]

一直在海上停留，只為重複聆聽此曲，超好聽，也設定成鬧鐘音樂

[@lewixiafazbear]

i remember playing this game for the first time and hearing this song.. this is one of my favorites its just soo calming sometimes i would just get on orca to listen to this :D

[@TheMightySinjo]

"OOORRCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa!" That's what I always thought when hearing this!

[@KiliKiller02]

i've been longing to hear a soundtrack like this for so long

[@battymations4891]

this song makes me so happy -w-

[@watch-Dominion-2018]

Such a beautiful song and beautiful part of the game ❤

[@SeaNymph]

A guy named Orca? .... Waaaaiiiit....

[@SeaNymph]

Yeeeup.

[@GhostDancer16]

***** Actually... it might be to do with the fact the character is literally an orca.

[@SeaNymph]

GhostDancer16 He's more of a giant fish to me, though, to be honest.

[@GhostDancer16]

***** His design still clearly resembles a killer whale though with the body shape and marking placement, so that's likely why he was named that.

[@jodiest.antoine8610]

***** An orca is a kind of dolphin - not a fish

[@Shiny_Misty]

While everyone brings up the Great Sea, all I was thinking was "this reminds me of Ecco the Dolphin...ah, I miss that game so much".

[@DakotaJonesMusic]

Man, I remember listening to this during my flight to Tokyo back in 2017... It was a dream of mine to visit Japan for 11 years, so this left such a profound memory as the plane was landing in Haneda.

[@hound8801]

im glad you got to fulfill your dream:) i hope you had fun!

[@88Meava88]

omg i thought id never hear this song again.

[@Pokeguy493]

This theme is beautiful! Its like you're looking out in the distance toward a canyon :)

[@Avidauthor]

This is so fitting for being out on the ocean... I feel like I'm flying across the waters surface on Orca's back,barelling through the waves like there's no tomorrow!

[@sagesaria]

Legit, would love to hear a mashup of Orca's theme and the Wind Waker sailing theme. I think they'd go perfectly together.

[@yoshimario40]

Honestly, without LPs, I would never have known of some of the greatest video games I've ever seen. Okami is one. Journey's another such game which I had never known about until I saw an LP of it.

[@marciocouto3543]

Always makes me cry.

[@RoccoRedify]

Oh you Ammy~ You must have put a lot of love into Orca to make him evolve from a Turtle battleship into...well... Orca! XD

[@blusora]

This theme's feesl you the soul of Japan

[@shiomicchi7247]

Anyone else deliberately just zoom around with Orca whenever they're at Ryoshima Coast just to jam to the music?

[@AlethrialTheElvenEmpress]

All the time!! Just going in circles- loop de loops

[@TheOneGuy1111]

I never wanted to get off Orca because I didn't want to stop the song...

[@PoochiePookie12]

0:45 I LOVE IT SM

[@dudujencarelli]

@Soccer333bc It is on the Wii, and it does have a sequel on the DS.

[@LuffySparrow]

0:42 goosebumps

[@antiZymotic]

Man, this sh*t sounds like freedom.

[@OverkillHazard]

Well, I'm here because of the LP, but I'm really, really, REALLY hoping to get this game myself! Good thing that there isn't too long until my birthday :D

[@Glaceshine123]

Orca is like, my second favorite character

[@BloodRedRoses1]

Orca's so cute! :D

[@Pok3fan1995]

If it were not for chuggaconroy, i would have never found this beatiful game. I thank him for that.

[@toottootsonicwarrior5777]

If the devs made some kind of spin off rpg series set in the world of okami, i can imagine this being one of the tracks.

[@selque]

This reeeeally makes me want to play Okami again... Now to find my PS2!

[@InvaderNebu]

Okami music is so majestic. No other words.

[@Smitteys86]

TEARS OF HAPPINESS

[@chibidrawing]

i came here beacuase of the jam but ive played this game many times before so good!

[@theinternetshavecome1640]

I managed to get Orca between the Water Dragon's spines just behind its head one time. Sat there for ages wondering what to do before the Dragon changed path and decided for me.

[@misscody98]

this music is soft but adventurous thats why i love Orca

[@eggsandmint]

@xxXSpiritwolfXxx well, actually, orca is only his name in the english version, his real name is shachimaru

[@Religion0]

I'd rather ride about on a rainbow dolphin than on a red talking boat. Link should totally get his own dolphin for transportation in a future Zelda!

[@DumDum5551]

My local gamestop had one copy of this game left. I was one of two people there who wanted it. His mistake was taking up a bribe on Call of Duty.

[@cheetahstarofoakclan]

@xxXSpiritwolfXxx Accually He looks like a Beluga. And Chuggaconroy LOVES Orca's theme too.

[@TreeckoANDGrovyle]

@gmaster2647 Thanks for that. That guy was ANNOYING :D

[@ratchetdude9000]

@OkamiandZelda i didnt even know sombody made an lp of this.

[@LeopardSamurai]

And to think Okami music couldnt be more beautiful. This song is so beautiful I just wanna ride Orca all day! =D

[@user-kx2zv7tg3u]

I was so happy to ride it 😭

[@TheLasViegas]

I guess the one thumbs down was the Urashima, poor guy hasn't heard the song in a long time almost never gets to ride on orca

[@orangestripez]

i always started to get scared when i swam by the water dragon like i know it cant eat me on orca but still...

[@noalaniwolf]

I got Orca to swim on top of the water dragon and I just chilled there for a couple minutes. I felt so powerful because it couldn't eat me ^_^

[@CaptainPudding]

@DaLastBoss orca´s cuteness is recognized even in hell :3

[@Exapico]

@zxscd Agreed, Zelda is the mother to Okami! Okami is the child of a godly meant to be just as great as the predecessor

[@SkittleE275]

@OkamiandZelda I came here because I love the LP of the game-haven't actually gotten to play it. Gotta' give him some credit for getting people to notice it, right?

[@LeoVermilion]

" I'm the fastest there is! Even that Water Dragon is no match for me! " - Orca.

[@aznlink7]

Wow...this really does remind me of Wind Waker.... Dammit, the nostalgia is rushing back in....too bad my Wind Waker disc got scratched up :/

[@OkamiandZelda]

I hope you get it!

[@evergreenmanJ]

(chuggaconroy riding orca0 (water dragon comes and opens mouth) Chugga: Woah hey buddy......... it's chuggaconroy. This was the birth of one of chugga's cliches.

[@cheetahstarofoakclan]

@TheForeignGamer Chugga said almost the same thing in his LP, so, thats what I thought. I just noticed now, that they posted that a year ago.

[@gmaster2647]

After noticing what was going on here, I decided to delete some of the comments. Sorry, but if it keeps up, I may have to block SuperThunderBolt2 for being incredibly insulting.

[@XenintheTerminator]

It's Porc-- I mean Orca's theme! Oh how I love Orca he is adorable~

[@Ekraelum]

Why does this give me such heavy Soulcalibur flashbacks? X,D Dunno why but I feel like this sounds straight out of SoulBlade but with proper instrumentation.

[@CateSaturn]

Feeding cats, island hopping and demon gates with bandit spiders. :D

[@Niobesnuppa]

LOL, Orca is so cute! ^^

[@SkittleE275]

I also bought Okami. Before Skyward Sword. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY. :P

[@armorwolf7934]

And how come I never played this masterpiece yet

[@dudujencarelli]

Wind Waker was released in 2002, four years before Okami.

[@wolfandsoda]

I want to run on the edge of a beach!

[@NexComet]

Obvious comparison, but great sea from wind waker. I mean COMON

[@sofaris576]

Ian Meranus Maybe,( even if I am not shoure about that, I hear both Orca and great see, and there are clearly more differences than the instruments) its still awesome.

[@sofaris576]

[@raina2224]

haha I love the orca he was so cool I'd ride around on it just to hear the song too I thought he was so cute with his smile all the time it was really funny

[@Absol64]

@xxXSpiritwolfXxx IKR?? Susano. Amaterasu. Kushi. ORCA. XD

[@momoandmiz]

Orca's face: DURHUUUURRRRR

[@garb8933]

the part at 0:59 is so prettyyy

[@OkamiandZelda]

@AirBladee234 I know, but I always found it a bit of a shame that some people would give the game a chance only because Chuggaa did a lets a play of it.

[@OkamiandZelda]

@SkittleE275 Remember what I said, "well let's just say I'll get my celestial brush and there will be quite and explosion... IN YO' FACE!" Remember that quote for me 'kay? YOU CAN GET SKYWARD SWORD LATER!!!!!!!!! OKAMI FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@divitsharma2475]

i was here after chugga using this in his crystal mach speed time or the icy path

[@PossesedEvilDoll]

@JaeDrift893 JAPAN! LAND OF THE RISING SUN HERE I COME!

[@FerreTrip]

They DID take a fair bit from Zelda, and I think WW came out a fair time before Okami. Choppier than a kitchen for me, but still epic. ^^

[@MrMastaPlanna]

I'd like to know about the Japanese mythos of Orca. Seems a lot more appealing than the underwater kingdom he's from

[@PossesedEvilDoll]

When I saw Orca I'm like it looks more like a dolphin

[@OkamiandZelda]

@OkamiandZelda That was to SkittleE275.

[@Zonefire15]

I love the yee in okami’s music

[@rollerfreak1331]

FASTER ORCA THAT DAMNED DRAGON IS GONNA EAT ME!!!

[@Katicoolkid]

@OkamiandZelda *cough cough* chuggaconroy *cough cough*I love that guy lol

[@PokeBound]

To me, Okami is like Wind Waker and Twilight Princess mashed together

[@ShinyMisty]

This song reminds me of Ecco the Dolphin, Defender of the Future.

[@uragirubero]

this sounds like Wind Waker xD

[@aldorain1016]

Great song. A shame I only heard it like three times in the game before getting the water tablet.

[@OverkillHazard]

I LOVE OKAMI MUSIC!!!!!!

[@becketta-c7]

You just noticed that!?!
