Reacting To The Legend Of Zelda Themes, But I've Never Played It.

You should absolutely check out more BotW music. These tracks only skim the surface.

BOTW is essentially “imagine waking up from a really deep sleep vaguely remembering you were supposed to do something important, only to learn that you were supposed to save the world and 100 years ago you **lost**.”

[@swordsmancs]

"I feel like I'm forgetting something..." *forgot to save the world*

[@michaelmoceri1118]

One of the really fun things about the BotW soundtrack is that the songs vary a little based on things like time of day and weather. So while you do hear a lot of the same music, it also changes as you go. For example, the Hyrule Castle has an indoor and outdoor theme, and it switches based on where you are.

[@ShiroKage009]

This is basically a style of video game music pioneered by the first Mario Galaxy. Nintendo kept using it since with different instrumental tracks and things that just fade in and out of the track.

[@TheNe0PhyT3]

​@@ShiroKage009I'm pretty sure the entire Donkey Kong Country series had that as a major part of it, even back on the SNES. Music would be slightly adjusted based on if you were abive/below water. And certain environments had sounds like wind, ship creaking, buzzing, and even mining that was all blended into the music.

[@esmooth919]

I love these kinds of dynamic or adaptive soundtracks that change based on what's happening in the game. Even down to fighting games like Third Strike, where the music transitions to the next part of the song after the next round starts. Even as far back as Sonic the hedgehog 3, were act one played the original version of the song, and act two of the Zone plays a remix

[@GoToJail]

The reason that the field battle theme sounds wild and unstructured at the start is because it's technically just a blueprint. Additional instruments and motifs will pick up and fade out depending on how the battle is going, almost generating music as you fight. There's a video titled "Invisible Sound Design in Breath of The Wild" that goes over this and a bunch of other quirks in the soundtrack during gameplay, it's worth checking out if you're interested in that kind of thing!

[@michmill7007]

The music has so many little variations, and its really cool to see how much depth was put into the soundtrack of this game

[@enanan4]

you said you were confused whether Hyrule Castle sounds heroic or ominous, and the answer is: both the castle itself is ominous, while your character (Link) is heroic

[@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770]

One thing that should be noted is that some music changes depending on danger and time. For example, the field battle theme. If you fight a common monster, the theme is simple; not that epic. Showing how weak and pathetic your enemy is. But if you are fighting a particularly powerful monster or if you are fighting a large group, the battle theme becomes epic. This can change mid-battle. As you kill enemies or even when enemies appear out of nowhere.

[@emmamiller.]

This franchise is known for its music. So many goosebumps lol Epilogue makes me cry

[@Papinak2]

Spot on with the epilogue. Didn't felt it when I played BotW for the first time, as I was new to the franchise, but second playthrough, after having played some more Zelda games, knowing the main theme, it hit very hard.

[@HyruletheCheetah]

Fr the music in Zelda is just amazing

[@devonm042690]

Hyrule Castle is the seat of power for the rulers of the land most Zelda games take place in. In Breath of the Wild it serves as the final dungeon because it was seized by the enemy and used as the enemy's base from which to destroy the land. You're taking it back, that's why the theme sounds both ominous and epic.

[@RobGamesOn]

Actually, Zelda has him confined to the castle with her Goddess powers containing him.

[@devonm042690]

​@@RobGamesOn Yes, but before that Ganon manifested within the castle, seized it, and launched his assault on Hyrule from within. Nothing I said is wrong, I just left something out. Really, considering how things play out, there'd be no difference if Ganon wasn't imprisoned but instead just content to let Link come to him like he always is.

[@RobGamesOn]

@@devonm042690 true, true

[@Cursed394]

Nothing can prepare you for the epilogie theme - damn never even played Zelda but it gets you right in the feels

[@Raphe9000]

If you like the BOTW music, I would definitely suggest checking out some key themes from other Zelda games. Probably the most influential is Ocarina of Time, but I'll go ahead and list some popular bangers from a few games (sorted by game but otherwise in no particular order): Ocarina of Time (for this game, you actually play many of the songs on an Ocarina, so I'll be posting the main theme and then what that theme is called when Link learns it and what the fanbase knows it as): 1. Lost Woods (Saria's Song) 2. Windmill Hut (Song of Storms) 3. Temple of Time (Song of Time) 4. Princess Zelda (Zelda's Lullaby) 5. Gerudo Valley 6. Kokiri Forest 7. Kakariko Village 8. Zora's Domain 9. Hyrule Field 10. Title Theme Majora's Mask: 1. Song of Healing 2. Astral Observatory 3. Stone Tower Temple 4. Title Theme 5. Giant's Theme Twilight Princess: 1. Title Theme 2. Hyrule Field 3. Midna's Theme 4. Hyrule Castle 5. Ilia's Theme 6. Gerudo Desert 7. File Select (best rendition of the Fairy Fountain theme IMO) 8. Midna's Lament 9. Sacred Grove 10. Malo Mart Wind Waker: 1. Title Theme 2. The Legendary Hero 3. Outset Island 4. Dragon Roost Island 5. Departure/Pirate Ship 6. Windfall Island 7. Farewell Hyrule King 8. Inside a House 9. The Great Sea 10. Molgera Battle Skyward Sword: 1. Main Theme 2. Romance in the Air 3. Fi’s Gratitude 4. Groose's Theme 5. Crimson Loftwing Link's Awakening (Remake, Preferably): 1. Tal Tal Heights 2. Mabe Village 3. Ballad of the Windfish 4. Link's Awakening 5. Shop Spirit Tracks: 1. Opening 2. Aboda Village 3. Castle Town 4. In the Fields 5. Realm Overworld A Link Between Worlds: 1. Lorule Main Theme 2. Lorule Castle 3. Hilda's Theme 4. Hyrule Castle 5. Death Mountain Miscellaneous: 1. Palace Theme (Zelda II) 2. Linebeck's Theme (Phantom Hourglass) 3. Hyrule Castle (Inside) (Breath of the Wild) 4. Minish Village (Minish Cap) 5. Dungeon Theme (The Legend of Zelda) I'm sure I missed a lot though, and obviously these lists have been influenced by my opinions, but I'd say those 60 are a good summary of the series and its amazing music. Edit: Added some I forgot

[@Draezeth]

You can't just not include the final boss battle music from Spirit Tracks, man! Also, the title screen music from Tri Force Heroes. Underrated masterpiece.

[@White1Tiger2Dan]

Feel like you need all the variations of Clocktown for Majora's Mask too

You cannot cannot mention Majora’s Mask and Not even Mention Final Hours. But great job putting the list together I’m sure it took some time

[@Nitrinoxus]

One little tidbit I haven't seen anyone else mention: the instrument that Kass is playing is actually a _bandoneon,_ a cousin of the accordion that lacks the register switches that let the accordion play in different registers. It's a mechanically simpler instrument, but it can carry the same versatility if the musician knows what they're doing. (Also difficult to tell in the image: Kass is, like, _3 meters tall._ Big blue bird-dad, is Kass, and we love him.)

[@demonicdude1328]

I'm surprised there was no guardian theme or the E3 trailer music

[@DaNintendude]

Really upset the Nintendo Switch 2017 Presentation theme wasn't a part of this. I tear up EVERY time I hear it. It belongs to what is, in my opinion, the best video game trailer of all time. Possibly the best trailer of all time, fullstop.

[@ElectricFury]

I completely agree. I have never seen a trailer for any media that I think tops it. It's amazing.

There is an old theory about the Hyrule Castle theme saying that the footstep we heard are actualy from the death soldier following Link to give him strenght

[@matiaspereyra9392]

Oh, this ost is FULL of little musical Easter eggs for the long time fans for example you get to Hyrule's castle and you hear the theme of the castle but you also hear the organ in the bag and you know what character is there and what that means and then woven in you hear your theme, link's theme and you say "this represents me going through all this crap and drowning, even if for a few moments the theme of the bad guy and just sort of overcoming this place" and then you find the princess' chambers and you hear the super iconic "Zelda's lullaby" also woven into the castle theme and you understand that even tho the princess isn't there anymore and hasn't been for 100 years, that this is a safe space as if only by her inhabiting that set of rooms 100 years ago made her chambers impervious to whatever evil influence you hear in the rest of the castle

[@The_Blazelighter]

The Zelda series has built up such a long standing and largerepertoire of music that it can constantly can pull motifs and themes from all over the series in meaningful ways. Breath of the Wild is brilliant in it's subtlety and nuance, standing on its own while still carrying the weight of its predecessors.

[@The_Blazelighter]

Also, out of the tracks here, only the main theme makes my top 10.

[@someonesomewhere1363]

Fun little tidbit about Field Battle; depending on how hard you hit an enemy during this little encounter music, a different highhat will play in the music!

[@robwarriors62]

Field Battle works in a really interesting way in-game. The different sections transition from one another based on how intense the fight is. If the game thinks you're in danger, it will finish the part it's on and uniquely modulate into the epic section you heard towards the end. There are also so many other details that I won't have room to write in this comment - the attention to detail is immense!!!

[@Shrock568]

It's insane how well anyone can get the context of what is happening in the game just by listening to the MUSIC!

[@emmamiller.]

I really love Romance in the Air, it’s very underrated and that makes me sad.

[@wolfzend5964]

Apparently, the Zelda main theme was created as a last second edition, composed in very little time. They were going to originally use a different song altogether but changed it right before finishing the first game. I forgot most of the details, but I recall hearing something about it.

[@wiiztec]

It was gonna be bolero but they checked and it was like a couple months short of falling into the public domain and they couldn't justify delaying the game for it

[@gatr2897]

Damn I'm so sad that Dark Beast Ganon wasn't on the list, that song makes me cry literally every single time without fail and I've heard it so many times. It's this beautiful mashup of the main theme alongside the horse riding theme and a bunch of other stuff. It plays during the final phase of the final boss and it's just this amazing victory lap with breathtaking visuals and the music always makes me start thinking about how many good times I had with the game *in the middle of the boss battle*. I'm replaying Botw rn and I'm going for near 100% completion before going to fight the final boss and I'm so excited to have that showdown one last time to send off this beautiful game, just in time for the sequel to come out in May Edit: Botw is honestly a bottomless pit of beautiful music I just remembered a bunch that I think could've gone on that list too, but I don't disagree with any of the music on the list, the OST is just that stacked. Off the top of my head theres Horse riding (day and night versions), Monk Maz Koshia, Kakariko Village, Guardian battle, Master Kohga, The Final Trial, Miphas theme, Hyrule Castle INTERIOR (the theme you heard at #10 was the exterior theme), and Gerudo Town

[@mungethekpopstan]

The Maz Koshia music was so COOL!

[@smileysmile0]

I know im so late to the party but Mipha's theme is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and you should definitely listen to it if you havent😅

The Metroid series has some of the best music out there. Everything from the haunting chiptunes of the original to the bombastic Smash Bros remixes are top quality and worth checking out.

[@gabevandenhoeven4546]

12:35 No your vibes are completely on point. It's a giant camel like autonomous machine, causing sandstorms and lightning strikes.

Man, just hearing the Epilogue and the Main Theme, my eyes starts to fill with tears, and I was playing the game for the 50th time today. I'm very anxious for Tears of the Kingdom, you should react to the music of the Final Trailer too, it's amazing.

[@adamkampen]

The Modulga theme has such good implementation in game. The Molduga is a giant sand swimming beast whose presence is accompanied by the rapid drums beats and strings, but as soon as you get the Molduga in a vulnerable state to attack it the strings kick it into high gear and all the instruments of the song join in as you rush it down and lay into it, it creates such a rush and it's a really cool feeling fight

[@cptredhorse5156]

The amount of things she was able to correctly guess about the game thru only listening to the music is a testament to not only the incredible writing of the music itself, but also her musical intuitiveness!

[@SuperMarioOddity]

I never realised how hard the 'field battle' theme slaps EDIT: Props to Emily for nailing some of these names, especially considering she's never seen before, although for future reference: Molduga - mol-DEW-gah, you were pretty close, but there's a bit more a bit of 'yuh' on the 'dew' Naboris - You got it right first time, and they are congas I'm pretty sure Ganon - Also correct, and yes those are dim chords Medoh - Correct first time, pronounced 'meadow' Revali - reh-VAH-lee

[@adamkampen]

Personally I think Hyrule Castle was ranked a bit low in this video, it's a really good song with all it's parts working to tell a story: soldier's marching, an ominous menace looming, using a melody associated with the royal family as a bridge, and even making use of the series low health beep to elude to a desperate struggle, all told by the music as you explore the castle

[@Dawnred956]

Zelda definitely has banger ost's. Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess have tons of tracks worth giving a listen to

[@ivanroman8914]

My fav songs that aren't in the video are: Vah Naboris Shrine, Vah Ruta Shrine, Gerudo Town (night), Mipha's song. Basically, all of the soundtrack is really amazing

[@Tarn-Ation]

I don't know if you take Ideas, but if you are already loving the accordion in Kass's theme so much you HAVE to check out some of the Professor Layton ost. These games are incredibly dear to my heart and it's music is easily one of the best parts of the series. As always, great video!

[@Droobie03]

In the game Revali seems like a jerk however he is the champion with the most tragic backstory. His theme fits him, it gives the feeling of calm and lonely. Given Revali is the only champion that doesn't have a bloodline descendant it kind of shows that he was lonely. He also can fly which can give the feeling of calmness.

[@Ponch126]

The entirety of BOTW's soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorites would be the Cave or Hidden Shrine themes with its absolute softness.

[@SouthHill_]

BOTW was very different from the typical Zelda formula, and the music was as a result very different as well. Should definitely check out some tracks from previous entries in the franchise.

[@MasterCrawford343]

The knight who seals the darkness... Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity... such a throwback while being both poignant and fitting

[@AnaReginaNica]

Revali is such an interesting character and a surprising combination... He's probably the saltiest character in all Zelda games, with an awful personality, annoying almost every time you see him, however, his theme song and all informations you get about him after the main history (like when you find his personal diary, or when we can see his side of the events on the Age of Calamity game) shows he had much more under the surface than we initially thought. His theme always gave me the feeling of freedom. And that was exactly what Revali was in the story of the game. He was a bird, so, he could fly, but he was also a very free thinker. Was there something the others of his species couldn't do? He tried, tried, and then did it, and trained like crazy until he perfected it. Everyone just loves and trusts the hero? Well, no, he didn't trust him, he hadn't prove himself as trustworthy yet, and he absolutely doesn't loves him at all! Actually, a pretty normal and healthy thinking process, if we reflect about it...

[@bedekuuu]

When I played through BoTW myself (around 1 year ago, so like, several years after the game came out), I went into the epilogue blind. When I tell you I got the CHILLS upon being hit by that choir near the end. Pulling at my heart strings all the right ways 😭💜 Also, if you enjoyed the BoTW ost, I recommend checking out the ost for Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity. It's a game set in the same time period as BoTW with both covers and original themes :)

I like how you decide to open by listening to the single most iconic track in the series, and then the tol ten hits you over the head with so many variants. You should have someone gather a collection from Wind Waker, very good music, often with an ocean/sailing feel.

Breath of the Wild was actually criticized for having a rather _lackluster_ soundtrack. There are a few really catchy themes here and there, but most of the music is remixes or "Zelda elevator music". I'd love to see your reactions to some more "original" Zelda themes. Tarry Town, various songs from Ocarina of TIme, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, and _especially_ Wind Waker. Also Skyward Sword exists and is not completely devoid of bops.

Id love if you reacted to more Legend of Zelda songs - theres so many beautiful songs from the older video games too. Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of time etc etc they all have such great songs.

[@AnaReginaNica]

About the Divine Beasts, these are actually a mix of bosses and dungeons. Like, huuuge mechanical wonders you have to hunt and fight (they are mechanical, so, weapons), enter inside them, solve some puzzles, defeat a boss, and then, bring their power to your side. The songs you heard, both Medoh's and Naboris', are the "hunt and fight" songs. However, there is a second theme for them, and when you enter, the song changes. And when it happens... - SPOILERS ahead, not big (don't worry, I'm not putting anything to really destroy the whole experience), but if you plan to play the game someday, please, don't read this until you get to the Divine Beasts' part on the game: - - - On the story, some people were murdered inside the Divine Beasts, so, on the "insides" themes (in special the momment you enter) you can hear a frantic SOS signal in morse code mashed into the songs, alongside some desperate messages (every Divine Beast has its own message), also in morse code. All layered onto one another, incomplete and stopping abruptly before starting again. It can be very disturbing, in special when you can understand the code and add it to the story of the game. It gets fainter and fainter after you start to solve the puzzles. It was a very interesting and mature way to create a song with this particular somber theme, almost like a catastrophic sunking ship theme, and I absolutelly applaud Nintendo for that.

[@kei3596]

[@wiiztec]

Their list is backwards, hyrule castle is the best song in the game, that or maybe the minigame theme which wasn't even on the list

Are some of my favorites

[@Ponch126]

Hyrule Castle in BOTW has fallen after the Calamity. That's why it feels more like a battle theme leading up to the finality.

[@Ponch126]

An interesting fact about the Hyrule Castle ost, it has two different versions. The one listed as #10 is the Outside theme, or anywhere on the outside area of the castle. Then there's also a more lightly quieter, yet more ominous theme for inside. (For reference, the inside is just a Transylvanian version of the outside)

[@catalyst539]

If you want more Breath of the Wild OST, Monk Maz Koshia is a must listen

[@sibsart2039]

If you liked Revali's theme, then you'd probably absolutely love Rito Village. And quite possibly, Zora's Domain. Both are beautiful, very chill, and just... they are a vibe.

17:29 Well...technically he doesn't die.

[@TheRecks33]

Please do the other 3D main line Zelda themes. Ocarina of time, Majora's mask, Wind waker, twilight princess and skyward sword.

You should check out the presentation trailer for this game. It has some crazy good music not featured in the game itself.

[@goonballoon]

listening to the botw ost reminds me that this is the best game in the series (at least music wise)

[@meyrin5057]

its truly amazing how large and high quality the zelda OST is across all the games

[@themustardman219]

Hyrule Castle is both epic and menacing. It's the castle of the good guys completely taken over and corrupted by the bad guy.

[@babyjiren9676]

Nice video as always, the Zelda series has such amazing music in it. You should really give a listen to the old 2017 trailer theme for the game. One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@jordannimz5180]

And the music in the new trailer for Tears Of The Kingdom is even better than that, in my opinion!

[@animesensei7005]

You know the theme is good, if it makes you feel nostalgic, even though you've never played the game.

[@Gabirudobeat]

when you enter the castle in BOTW, the soundtrack changes to a organ version of Hyrule Castle theme devious af

[@anthonyperez87]

She was so right about hurdle castle. Menacing and awesome. She got it right on when she said enemy territory

[@wiiztec]

no such place

[@guineveredawn]

I love that you were spot on about what the themes were about even when you haven’t played the game. Well done

[@RobGamesOn]

You're right... the Hyrule Castle theme is the place of the final boss fight with Calamity Ganon. And yes, he's the final boss but turns into Dark Beast Ganon after his defeat and you fight him on Hyrule Field. This list is proof that the haters got it wrong. Breath of the Wild has fantastic music!

[@thestupidnintendokid]

I just got chills listening to the Main Theme and OH MY GOSH IS THAT THE TEARS OF THE KINGDOM THEME AT THE END OF IT

[@nexisvids]

Daruk's Theme. Definitely Daruk's Theme from Breath of the wild was missing there. You will love it.

If you're still taking suggestions, I'd recommend checking out the soundtracks for Baten Kaitos I and II. I don't know if any of the tracks got remastered for the release of the remake a year ago as I haven't had time to play it yet, but the original ones certainly hold up to this day.

[@captaindanny8820]

Botw Hyrule castle theme was so satifying the first time i heard it, shook me to the core. Originally went to the castle for the memory, but was inspired by the music to make my way up throne room. (Only to realized, I was sooooo not prepared for that fight )

[@fireflightstartrottor]

13:09, no I think, a Dombek, cajon is a box, basically.

[@Imufur]

the end of the epilogue was one of those moments "omg I finished a masterpiece...what do I do now" I ended up repeating the fight

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I watched a streamer who ended up having to do that because her chat gave her poor advice about how the Memories worked! So once the credits and short post-credits scene were over, she had to go to Impa, do what was needed, then head back to the Castle and go through the end game all over again to see the full ending. Oops!

[@constantlyphil]

Btw vah naboris is pronounced vah nabORis and vah medoh is vah medOH

[@potocto]

At 19:28 you can here a tiny bit of the main theme on piano. I never noticed it till now.

[@xeonplays75]

The field battle theme evolves when there is a really strong enemy

[@EpicPaul64]

This was a lot of fun to hear your reactions to some amazing tunes! If you want some more epic Nintendo themes, could you consider doing Kid Icarus: Uprising or Fire Emblem: Three Houses?
