Music References in TOTK that you NEED to hear (part 2) ~ Zeldisc

[@julianpaublini]

I know this is 9 months too late, but I really loved these 2 videos. As a musician and Zelda fan, I really appreciate the effort of compilating all these little references in a compact but still detailed and carefully crafted video. I can feel your passion for the franchise and hope you enjoy your other proyects as much as I can tell you enjoyed making this video.

[@leandrabarros3582]

You can clearly see how much the composers love this franchise. To put so many little details like this, Zelda is truly special.

[@ocarinamom2915]

Wonderful, again. Some might be a little far-fetched, but still, I loved it. For the theme associated with Ganondorf that you couldn’t remember where else it was (23:30 of this video), it was also in the memory when he transforms after getting Sonia’s stone, followed by Ganondorf’s theme right after.

[@UltraTagProductions]

The main difference between the blight themes and the calamity ganon theme is the time signature. The blights are in 3/4 while ganon is in 4/4. Count the beats in each measure, the blights have 3 and ganon has 4 Ganondorf also has 3

[@lordpsi99]

How does this not have more views?? This is so good and so well edited and brilliantly narrated!!

[@annalisa32]

The jingle of the cooked food appears in Skws even in the beginning, when Zelda talks to Groose, it happens twice

[@Zeldisc]

Wow thanks for letting us know☺

[@annalisa32]

@@ZeldiscNp, I discovered it super recently 😊

[@princessmdg]

When it came to defending Link against Groose, Zelda always stood on business 😂

[@bob_marlee03]

i played ss after i played botw and i was so taken aback when i heard that cause it was such a tiny detail that i thought i was crazy

[@DanjekHasAutism]

I find it really nice that you can hear a small slow part of Fi’s theme in the forgotten temple, just like the song of time in the og temple of Time.

[@unsterino]

see, this is why i ADORE the zelda osts and the amount of detail they put into them. some of these i still didn't pick up on until now, despite having completed totk a couple times now

[@Zeldisc]

The Zelda OST is amazing!!

[@garretthoy5066]

when the demon dragon is destroyed- the botw motif is followed by the totk motif an octave lower - signifying the full cycle

[@Zeldisc]

That’s so cool!😄

[@wcmpgaming2363]

Yay! Thanks for having me up there! TP is my favorite, so when i was listening to "attack on gerudo town" at work it just suddenly clicked and i was very excited to show other people XD. I am also glad you're making these videos to help share these things, helps build us together!

[@crimsxnyiga]

30:02 also starts with zelda's lullaby

[@unOrigiNik]

18:10 I love the spirit temple theme. There was something about that temple, when I was 10 years old and we finally got there (my brother, friend and I) it was at the very end of a long winded journey, and it seemed like we had wandered off the map, to some far away land, and then boom, the track hits. Now that it's linked to the molduga track, it makes me wonder if the temple was constructed to ward off the beasts.

[@Zeldisc]

That's interesting, I didn't think about that! I love how musical references can add on to lore and theories, it's amazing!

[@yoshimori_hero]

Rauru and King Rhoam's themes also sound a lot like Hyrule Castle's (exterior) theme, all of which also sound similar to the general Hyrule Field theme

[@bruszan]

I was playing some days ago when exploring a cave and I SWEAR that I heard a melody that sounded just like aLttP Light World Dungeon theme

[@cerysviolet]

My KZbin only just gave me the notification but I’m so happy that you’re doing another one!!

[@jasperjavillo686]

23:47 There’s another cool detail regarding the music in relation to when in the cutscene it is played. The series main theme exists in universe as The Song of the Hero, as established in Skyward Sword. It is essentially Link’s song. When does the leitmotif come in during the memory? The moment Rauru utters Link’s name.

[@moria__]

i love how much attention they pay to all the music in the whole zelda franchise its really baffling when you pay attention to the details thanks for searching for all these

[@BadyearOakarus]

to kinda go into it a bit more (although it is possible it's just a coincidence), the desert theme in tp also is reminiscent of the pirate fortress from mm (another tie to majora)

[@derbaum8761]

Teard up a couple of times from some music especially the Intro of Totk ❤ thx for all of these music infos

[@luvphoenixgirl6120]

One of my favorites is how the clock town theme from Majoras mask can be heard in the mountain roaming music

[@Pablo1517]

Obviously there is a lot more tunes referenced. The moment you actually reach Zelda's hand, a Legend of Zelda main theme kicks in for just a brief moment which makes you shit your pants

[@Zeldisc]

Wow that's amazing!😄

[@dantheman15]

Aww, thanks for the compliments. And what another AMAZING zelda music reference video. I'll find more soon!

[@Zeldisc]

You gave us such good references, we had to include it! and thank you for the compliment:)

[@mytonerghf]

thank you for putting in the bit at 28:08 (and again around 42:25)! but I think you put in the wrong part for the alttp bit. I think it should be the second part (about 30 seconds in to alttp's zelda's lullaby) and not the beginning of the theme

[@andrewstrange6777]

The first video was absolutely fantastic, can't wait to watch this one!

[@shadeyfang8564]

42:10 you forgot the hero’s theme playing! 45:49 also it’s not just the overworld theme, it’s also the hero’s theme or link’s theme

[@ocarinamom2915]

🙋‍♀️ 100% agreeing ! The main theme is the Hero’s theme (or Link’s). In Skyward Sword, we even participate composing it, or learning it part by part. And in BotW and TotK, it is clearly intended as Link’s theme, because we see the duality with Zelda’s lullaby everywhere. Riding a horse during the day ? Zelda’s lullaby. During the night ? Link’s theme. In this « not this time » (or « last catch ») where Link is about to catch Zelda, both their themes are playing. Etc.

[@Ineffablepunk]

Thank you for this series! I really loved hearing all of these references

[@zacattack763]

Oooo so Gerudo Town (Unsolved) 13:38 sounds VERY similar to Volcano Summit from Skyward Sword! There's probably no link (haha) between the two but interesting nonetheless!

[@Zeldisc]

This is interesting!

[@EpicPaul64]

I'm glad Part 2 was worth the wait! Again, it blows my mind that I'm usually pretty keen on musical references, but you folks clearly have much better ears than me! There were a few things I noticed, though: -When you highlighted the mini-game theme sounding similar to that of Ocarina of Time, I actually thought it sounded more like the Cucco Den in Twilight Princess, or perhaps more commonly known as the music played when Link is launched from Lake Hylia to the City in the Sky. Maybe there's a dual reference? -In the final battle, I could have sworn I heard the battle theme against human Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time in one of the early phases. -When you pointed out a musical similarity to the title theme in Ocarina of Time, that reminded me that said music is in itself a reference, as the ocarina melody that first plays in Ocarina of Time is the same tune you hear when playing the flute in Zelda 1! Since you folks are so good at this reference stuff, do you think you'll ever make a similar video for the Mario movie?

[@Zeldisc]

Wow that's a lot of good points, thank you! We only want to make Zelda content- we are huge Zelda fans😁 Thanks a lot for the compliments!

[@ZeldasMask]

Probably the best thing TotK did was bring back more music

[@federelix]

Another fantastic video!! I'm blown away by the references in the Gerudo section, that's so awesome. I have another music reference you haven't mentioned yet: In the epilogue music you can hear Sheik's motif from Ocarina of Time after around 25 seconds.

[@Zeldisc]

Yes! We actually discovered this in the end of the making of this video, so we have it written down for part 3!☺ Right now we want to make other kind of Zelda videos😁 We will be back at musical references sometime in the future!

[@federelix]

@@Zeldisc Awesome! I'm really looking forward to your other kind of Zelda content:)

[@aylinilya.]

rauru’s theme is just the first 2 notes of the zelda main theme heard at 24:48 while most of it is unchanged from botw, the pulling the master sword theme has the first 3 notes of zelda’s lullaby with that chime like noise at 30:04 i believe the start of phase 2 of the ganondorf fight is the ocarina of time version of the theme i’m also gonna keep mentioning that geoglyph easter egg since that one is such an unnoticeable detail that somehow got noticed and i love it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6Spi5R3mZZsbc0feature=shared

[@Zeldisc]

Thanks for the tips!☺️

[@B-ot2xx]

23:28 Master of the Secret Stone, Ganondorf

[@loshy9040]

Thank you for making these videos.

[@Sliverism]

10:02 I wonder if the percussion here (WW phantom Ganon) is referenced in TOTK Ganon's percussion...

[@Zeldisc]

Omg! you're right! We didn't catch that one when we listened to the different demon kings battle themes. That's so cool, thanks a lot for letting us know😁😄

[@lenaclipsedits3618]

There's a part of Lomei Sky Labyrinth's music that reminds me of the Final Hours song from Majora's Mask.

[@girlitsbrooke]

this cheered me up a lot! i really enjoy these videos:)

[@reploidboy2005]

Hearing the guardian’s theme again gave me a massive ptsd 😂😂

[@legamofz-nc6gx]

The music played in Zelda’s theme that you didn’t know is the Chinese Erhu

[@Zeldisc]

That's really cool, thanks for letting us know!☺

[@alongal407]

Awesome! I really loved your previous video, I'm happy to see you uploaded another one!❤

[@alongal407]

Also I can't believe how your channel is this small, even though this is just your second video it's so high quality, I hope to see you grow to be a big channel!

[@Zeldisc]

@@alongal407 Wow thank you so much! We appreciate that a lot

[@thatoneguy52884]

at 23:18 you can hear part of the main theme of totk where it plays that melody at the end of the song

[@10-5playz]

Fantastic video. can't wait for the next one

[@doault]

Great video!! You should keep this music references across the series. Another thing to note in the Demon Dragon final phase when the blood moon appears, Zelda's theme is added to the music.

[@Zeldisc]

We probably will! and that's so cool!

[@TheRealMaruki]

I'd love to see similar series for BOTW or AOC in the future

[@luiszamorano9116]

i was waiting for this video thx for uploading

[@Zeldisc]

[@humblescout]

I love how both videos have so much time and effort put into them. You even pointed out themes I have never been able to recognize. Well done, my dear. Definitely subbing to this channel. 💕

[@Zeldisc]

Thanks! That means a lot to us💗

[@Pupsuli]

Yayy~ I love your channel! ❤

[@Zeldisc]

Thank you so much

[@unOrigiNik]

Great video as always. It's awesome to see new channels popping up offering new insights into this game series. My only feedback, particularly with some of the more difficult to hear tracks, like the good bye gibdo theme, to loop the tracks more than once back to back. I know in editing you hear the music over and over but as a lazy viewer, I don't wanna have to track back to hear things over and over 😜 plus you benifit by getting more view time. Again, great work!

[@Zeldisc]

That's a really good tip! Thank you! I (the editor) appreciate the feedback, I need it to be able to get better:) I'll keep this in mind for later🙂

[@Endervulpe]

I won't lie, I was too much of a gd wimp to fight the gibdos.... so I made my brother do it for me. Yes, I'm a coward.

[@TaylorXIV]

YAY!! PART 2!!!! I was so surprised at the end of part 1 when you said it was your first vid, I subbed immediately and have been waiting on part 2 since

[@LinkachuTriBall]

Part 2 wooooooooooo

[@GooberBoi6000]

46:04 song of healing?🧐

[@elzeldero2.0]

Cool video, as always!

[@zachindes]

29:26 over and over and over

[@nanite97]

oh my god have i been waiting for this video! amazing work for real you truly outdid yourselves!! Incredible edit and of course thank you so much for the inclusion

[@nanite97]

and i dont know how i got it wrong and of course you dont have to edit it or reupload but my handle is @nanite97 not @nanite9741 lots of love and good luck growing the channel, its truly amazing!

[@Zeldisc]

Thank you so much!

[@valentinhigareda3346]

Hey. So i noticed that when link has pulled the master sword, you can also hear the 3 beginning notes of Zelda's lullaby in the back of the theme. I noticed it when listening to it back again.

[@Zeldisc]

That's awesome!

[@footytime8108]

I’m so sad that oot ganondorf battle theme was not mentioned. That scene when ganondorf transformed into the demon king felt so important. Te theme played is so iconic and I wish it was recognized

[@Zeldisc]

We listen to a lot of TOTK's OST to find these references, but it's still easy to miss them! Thank you for letting us know☺

[@alongal407]

This game's music is SO beautiful, it's such a shame all of it is ruined by some of the poor design choices nintendo made with this game... (The game is still one of my favourite games of all time, but it could have been so much more) Also I am convinced Zelda's lullaby is the most beautiful song ever

[@footytime8108]

I totally agree. A lot of ideas were scrapped, and most of those ideas could have been such amazing additions to the story

[@AshenDust_]

Saying all of it is ruined by poor design choices is definitely a massive overstatement. The Sages’ Vows were undercooked but there’s nothing else that stands out to me as a flaw that could “ruin” the game.

[@alongal407]

@@AshenDust_ I don't wanna go over it now, but the game's storytelling is absolutely horrible, the storytelling is linear, but is unlockable in a non linear way.. there is absolutely no reason as to why they couldn't have just locked memories until after you beat the 5 temples. But it's mainly the dialogue that got me fucking screaming.. just that feeling when someone goes "I really wonder what happened to zelda, I really wish I could know what happened to her" and link's just standing there silently, fully knowing what happened to her.. or someone going "wow the zonai history is so cool! I wanna learn all about it!" Or how link doesn't tell purah about getting the master sword until after he beats the 5th temple, or how link doesn't tell purah about what happened to zelda when he fully knows what happened to her... I mean, there is literally a scene the player has to go through where all the sages gather to think what happened to zelda... And I just sit through it. And it's all because the story progression is non linear, and I was just doing each one of the memories before completing all temples, and I was going to the korok forest before completing the 5th temple, so I had to sit through mineru talking about the master sword until she finishes and goes "seems like you already have it" THEN WHY TALK ABOUT IT AND HOW I MUST GET IT IF YOU ALREADY KNEW BRUHHHHH. The story is expected to be done in a specific way, and absolutely does not work in any of the other ways. Still though, the game is one of my favourite games of all time, it's just that if it wasn't for this I could have loved it so much more.

[@AshenDust_]

@@alongal407 oh ok, so just story stuff then. Yea that definitely could’ve been better. I do like the non-linear memories though, it leads to each player having a different experience of the story. I got the one where Ganondorf invades Hyrule with a bunch of Moldugas really early and spend a lot of the game wondering what led up to that, and when I got the memories that gave me that context it was very satisfying.

[@alongal407]

@@AshenDust_ that's the thing, it leads players to having s different experience, but only those who completed the 5 dungeons first and the the memories in order would have the best experience, and likely no one did that as the first memory is on the path to rito village which was likely done intentionally, and I'm also a completionist, which means I did all the memories as soon as I could, and basically spoiled the game for myself. And the worst thing is, that botw did perfectly on this part.. which makes me feel like botw has better story, when it absolutely does not, totk clearly has a story with more depth, and that is more interesting, except here they use the memory system which does not work with this story, this is a story that can't be told out of order, it's not like they talk about different unrelated things in each memory, like they were in botw, they talk about a story, and that can't be viewed out of order, I mean, at least have them play in order regardless, who would want to view them out of order?! I mean even the first memory, which you have to stumble upon, already tells you what happened to zelda, that she was transported to the past. And non of link's dialogues acknowledge that and link keeps it to himself (and impa) I honestly think this game could work amazingly with ai generated dialogue
