I had that when Dragon Roost started playing in Rito Village. stopped me dead in my tracks

[@AnaiTelletxeaAguilera]

My favourite musical reference in BotW is how each race or tribe has his own kind of instrument(s). Rito’s instrument are the clarinet, which has a big solo in the Rito Village theme, and the accordion, very important in Kass’ and Revali’s themes. Other kind of woodwind instruments, such as the flute, are quite relevant in other themes of this race. Gerudo’s instrument is a kind of zither, which is present in different places of the Gerudo Desert and Urbosa’s and Riju’s themes among others. In general, string instruments have been very attached to this tribe in different games. Goron’s instruments are brass instruments, which can be heard in the Death Mountain and Daruk’s and Yunobo’s themes. Finally, Zora’s instrument is the synthesizer, followed by the piano, which is very important all over the OST, but has a special meaning in Sidon’s and Mipha’s themes. All this is summarised in Tarrey Town’s theme. When the Goron comes, a trombone solo appears. So does the zither with the Gerudo, the clarinet with the Rito and the guitar with a different rythm (instead of the synth) with the Zora. I hope I am not the only one who has noticed this!

I personally love the music of Breath of the Wild. People don’t realize how much it helps the setting of the game. If it was loud like other games, it wouldn’t work with the nature of the game. And there are still some great themes in the game that aren’t scattered. Tarrey town, hateno village, Gerudo Town, Kakariko Village. They are all great themes, and the theme for hyrule castle is great too.

Can there be one fairy in the Kokiri Forest that when you catch it you hear a faint "Hey!" That's all I ask in BOTW2. Thank you.

[@comebackkid1007]

Make sure it's When you're in the lost woods, for that is where OOT Link thought where "they" went after their adventure together, then let them be the only fairy there, showing that she is still there, even though link couldn't find his friend, she is still there, waiting for him... It could be linked with a quest granted when a korok sees link in their "of the wild tunic", The Lone Fey. A conclusion to this fairys long wait, seeing her friend (or at least his spirit) one last time before fading. I could see it go like this. A korok is getting annoyed by a single stray fairy wondering the lost woods, tasking link to find it, when you do, you see it wondering aimlessly saying "hey" in a desparate tone, then it notices you, you then see a drop of water fall from the fairy, it rushes in and goes into you like a spirit orb, then a text box says "You feel a sudden saddness, but now you feel whole." filling your HP.

How they put Epona's Song into breath of the wild has to be one of my favorite Zelda references in the game. Not only does it bring a lot of nostalgia, it actually fits in the overall world. Seeing Kass play it at the stables fits perfectly with the overall atmosphere, bringing a feeling of warmth, comfort, and safety. I wouldn't be surprised if Epona's Song would become a popular folk song in later years, even all the way down to Breath of the Wild.

[@Chubby_Bub]

Thanks for making this video. Breath of the Wild has a great soundtrack and I love all the references they included. Here are a few more you left out: -Something the composers confirmed in a really neat interview, not only are Sidon and Mipha's themes very similar, but they use different scales- Mi and Fa for Mipha and Ti and Do for Sidon (his Japanese name is Shido)! Their themes are also incorporated into Attack on Vah Ruta. -They also mentioned that the phrase used in the Divine Beasts Attack is also used in one of the DLC memories and the theme for King Rhoam's flashback. In the latter you can also hear parts of Zelda's Lullaby, the main theme, Ganon's theme, the Guardian theme, and Castle Town Ruins. -A more obvious one, Zora's Domain is a remix of the same theme from Ocarina of Time. -The four Blight Ganons all share the same theme, but use different instruments and backing fit for each champion. Calamity Ganon's battle theme is also a fully orchestrated, dramatic version of the same theme. -As you build Tarrey Town, the music adds leitmotifs related to the theme of each town the others came from. -Speaking of which, the Rito have a little leitmotif in their tracks- it’s present in Rito Village, Revali's Theme, and Attack on Vah Medoh. -Lastly, just a fact I think is neat. One of the composers for this game was Manaka Kataoka. She wrote some of the really epic themes, like the battle themes for the Guardian and Talus. But she also wrote the title theme for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which I think is a really funny contrast.

[@cristianmazariegos2528]

There is also a song reference when you pull out the master sword it’s the same song when you pull it from skyward sword.Also in the champions ballad when you upgrade the sword the same song and position when link lifts the master sword in the air it is a reference from skyward sword when you first meet fi.

The sound design in the game is genuinely unparalleled, and every song in game is well suited, well utilized and fantastic pieces of music in their own rights.

Perhaps even having a role in the sequel o:

I'm pretty sure that every single details you mention is indeed a reference! Nintendo really have a hand to create a master piece that we can reference to older game! For me, Nintendo have the best in game music!!

[@luigiboi4244]

One of my favorite features of Breath of the Wild has to be the music. So much care and love went into the soundtrack, and it just sounds (chef’s kiss) PERFECT!

[@HellfireComms]

Breath of the Wild is basically a love letter to the whole franchise with all these musical, visual and textual references. Fitting for a game that pushes the franchise forward.

[@aSHTEBALA]

I was hoping you’d mention this one: The soundtrack you play at 3:03 is a reference to the dark world theme from a link to the past which happens when you climb a tower

Who knows there could be one day when zeltik doesn’t get sponsored bye squarespace... probably not though

[@songoku9348]

Sword Guy Well either squarespace or raid

[@ivanvalentin7713]

Why would you want ant him to not get sponsored? Can't tell if you want him to have other sponsorships or if you're hating on him for trying to make a living

[@raicattivo]

Or Raycon

[@Xetaas]

I agree, goodbye squarespace

[@mae3002]

Gotta say I'm really loving the new black transition animations, very subtle but adds such production value to your videos. Love your content~!

[@phantomias7230]

I love Fi being referenced to be concious again and the version of her theme in BOTW. Here hoping she will reappear in BOTW 2💕🥰

[@juanaldana2315]

I absolutely love your videos, especially this one. Beyond things like gameplay, characters, cutscenes or what have you, it’s always the music from the Zelda series and the memories I associate with it that sticks with me more than anything else. Whether it’s hearing the Kakariko Village and Hyrule Castle themes and remembering sitting on my uncle’s bed and watching him play A Link to the Past or hearing the Kokiri Forest theme and remembering how excited I was opening up Ocarina of Time (with a new rumble pack, of course) on Christmas morning in 1998 and finally getting a chance to have a Zelda play through I could call my very own, I’ll never forget the amazing memories and feelings I have for the games all because of this timeless, universally recognizable music. And with all that’s going on the world right now, I think those are the types of memories and feelings people probably want to remember the most right now. Thank you, Zeltik, for uploading something like this.

[@jcg7609]

Are you ever doing a video ranking all incarnations of Princess Zelda I know it's a matter of time until botw2 comes out but I really want to see this

[@Ghv5t]

Is that why every time I heard the info distilling sound my brain automatically expected to hear the iconic item get tune?!?!?!

[@akid648]

Anyone else hear 'in the bleak midwinter' in the opening segment of the theme. Literally takes me back to being a young link in the days

[@degenerativeburgergoblin157]

My favorite has got to be "Dark Beast Ganon theme" , I love the call back to OOT's soundtrack and how they use an organ at some parts. It feels like Ganondorf himself is fighting for control over the music.

[@TimothyCWood]

Here's one: one of the Gorons in the mining camp on the way to Goron City hums something suspiciously close to Totaka's Theme.

[@simonrockstream]

your videos just keep getting better and better, honestly fantastic work Zeltik, never change!

[@IggysEden]

Internet: Breath of the Wilds music sucks! Me: shows them this video

[@Silphiroth]

Don't get me wrong, BotW has awesome music - I just dont listen to it actively like the music in other titles of the franchise. But I have to say that making some tracks only recognizable to an old song by speeding it up or slowing down and even then only with a lot of phantasie.....not an argument for good music imo. More like easter eggs that are pointless as you dont notice them while playing (not speaking of obvious things like stable theme)

[@thehollowvoice7994]

I have rewatched this video more than 10 times and it never gets old

[@Brando2301]

Use me as a "I didn't know Forest Haven was the Kokiri Forest music" button.

[@annysummer1206]

I'm happy that I'm not the only one who noticed the OoT title theme in the Shrine theme And really nice touch for pointing out Fi's theme in some of these cutscenes. I kinda missed out on them because I was either crying, because I missed Fi, or I was filled with pure relief after beating the sword trials

[@MiguelAldanotes]

As a musician myself, I really love how you take your time to appreciate the music down to minute details. I love not feeling alone on this. I think the ST for this game it's so fitting and captures the overall theme brilliantly

[@TheSorrel]

Yes. It always bothers me when people say BotW "has no music".

[@desmondschneider5397]

After playing Hyrule Warriors and watching Skyward Sword, I noticed the guidance stone one in my game or maybe just randomly. But it’s also the same theme as get master sword! Chest theme, then key item sound. Also, it is complete! The Sheikah sound on the map is the key item sound! Nintendo really loves adding those details.

[@Amara87387]

I haven’t heard any mentions, but if you are near ruins, the ruins theme plays. Wait long enough, and you will hear the Mario galaxy opening slowed down on piano

[@pawnstars1757]

13:47 "oooh oh say can you see?"

[@Katamaricilla]

Precisely yesterday, I was talking to my mother about the amazing music of this game and sending her my favourite tracks ^^ Your videos give me peace and always keep me completely engaged. Your work is amazing.

[@SALshaNoma]

What I love about the theme of botw is how empty the music feels which is exactly how the world feels, vast and empty. Waking up a 100 years later to learn everyone you ever knew is dead and gone. The horse theme while riding is one of my favorites. Oh and I really appreciated eponas song playing subtly at all the stables.

[@kowaiyukidono]

Huddled up in a corner of Castle Town ruins, away from the Guardians, I listen to the shattered memories of times long gone. Wandering into old ruins and hearing the dim remains of the song that used to play gets me in all sorts of places.

[@MotionlessKnight]

I just really hope that when the sequel is released, they play some iteration of Ganondorf's sinister introduction and theme music from Ocarina of Time when he is introduced in Breath of the Wild 2. Literally my favorite villain music to date from any game, show, or movie and always will be.
