Select #14 - Zelda Tears of The Kingdom OST - Dragon Roost Island/Rito Village VS Winwaker et BOTW

Le peuple des Rito (Piaf en français) ont un excellent thème musical depuis Windwaker. La nouvelle version présente dans Tears of the Kingdom vaut la peine d'être entendu. Voici un petit comparatif!

[@maikayee246]

colgera boss version sounds like something I’d imagine a Zelda movie to have.

[@ZoSo_x]

After how well the Mario movie did, it's not unlikely to happen.

[@Demonskunk]

@@EPadraigM indeed, but a Zelda movie needs to be more than 1h30 and not too childish for it to be good imo

I like how the boss themes always incorporate some of the village themes as well, to remind you who you're fighting for, and who you must save.

Ohhhhhh so that's why the Rito Village soundtrack felt so natural to me. I never really picked up on it that it was from Dragon Roost Island ost.

I really appreciate the fact that they took molgera, a boss from the wind temple of the wind waker, and put it in the wind temple of TotK, and already set up the Rito village theme to be the theme of dragon roost island. It’s all been planned to be a tribute to the wind waker. Maybe even a present for the 20th anniversary

[@Veranek]

The very existence of the Rito is just the confirmation of Wind Waker.

[@BehraamBaqai]

It's interesting the games now have both rito and zora

[@hypotheticaltapeworm]

Weird though because Colgera has very little in common with Molgera. It looks and behaves a lot closer to Twinmold from Majora's Mask.

[@ninboy01]

@@hypotheticaltapeworm Colgera is the successor of the “mol” family of monsters. It shares several characteristics with them, including the elongated, segmented, insectoid body, with multiple eyes and biting pincers. It also shares Lanmola, Twinmold, and Molgera’s “burrowing” ability; albeit in the form of teleportation through its storms. Which is fitting for it being a flying, storm-based member of the family.

[@hypotheticaltapeworm]

@@ninboy01 I think "mol" usually means ground/sand from what I can tell. Moldorm, Lanmola, Twinmold, Moldworm, Molderach, Molgera, and Molduga are all sand-dwelling creatures. I think it comes from "mole", like the burrowing animal. Oh, yeah, anyway I just meant Colgera looks nothing like Molgera to me lol. Molgera has huge, flappy jaws while Colgera has angular, pincer-like jaws closer to a beetle. Molgera also looks a lot more fleshy than Colgera's more obvious exoskeleton. Its body segments are closer to Twinmold's than Molegra's too. If any boss from the Wind Waker, it looks like Gohma, just with a lot more eyes. This boss is far more insect-like. Molgera has more in common with Moldugas, imo.

Colgera is my absolute favourite boss in all of Botw and Totk so far, sure it’s easy but the spectacle makes it amazing

[@ZoSo_x]

Same here. The way you fight in the air the entire time with Tulin as your wingman (literally) as support was magnificent 🤌✨

[@i_garfed_on_the_carpet]

@@ZoSo_x The music just going at it while you use yourself as a bullet to hurt the boss is amazing

[@theman13532]

i did the rito village route first (just completed it yesterday actually), and *holy shit* it was probably the best game moment i have played in a while. the setting of rito village being mostly empty, tulin, the big cyclone in the sky, and the fact that i was practically eating food items to stay alive from the cold effect during the entire bossfight with only half a heart left upon defeating it gave such an emotional feeling mini-story of sorts, i'm going to go to zora's domain next and see if it is also badly affected by the upheaval because *man* totk is the best game i have played in a while editing like 2 weeks later: damn they just forgot to clean the water filter in the fish tank they'll be alright

I’ve never played Wind Waker before, but the way they used that theme for the Colgera fight almost made me cry. The build up of the original Molgera boss music transitioning into this great climax of Dragon Roost was so impactful it hit in a place I don’t even have. Masterful composition

[@PeCabianca]

at least you can fight it anytime you want and listen to the first 30 seconds of this before you once more erase it from existence

[@berry.1uvr]

As far as I know, there are three colgeras hidden in the depths. Well, I don’t know if their eerie, loud cries and flapping would deem them “hidden”, but ahem… One of them is underneath Gerudo Desert, near the spot where Vah Naboris used to be in the overworld, and two of them are near the north-western edge of the map, right under Hebra. It helps if you have the lightroots because you can see the huge arena that they fly around in.

[@benester4225]

Bit of a long comment but I feel like I have to say it here! Wind Waker was my first ever video game. My brothers would bring in the GameCube when I was a kid bc I was bedridden a lot of my early childhood and let me play Wind Waker while they watched and laughed. Dragon Roost Island was my absolute favorite place in that game and the music was killer. I decided to pick up a Switch in 2020 and played Breath of the Wild finally. I had no idea my favorite place, and my favorite Zelda species would be in the game with a beautiful rendition of the OG theme. It felt like seeing an old friend and I’m not ashamed to say I cried and called one of my brothers to talk about it lol. And then last week I got to the Colgera battle in Tears of the Kingdom immediately hearing the Molgera theme from the Wind Temple in the Wind Waker and then got to the last phase…. Hearing that absolute sweeping melody of Dragon Roost/ Rito Village made it really feel like fighting for home. I can’t properly explain how this feels but…it feels really good. I love this franchise, I love this game, and I hope y’all can too :)))

[@fishiefish6179]

Sitting outside listening to this on a breezy day, and the breeze just picked up right when the dragon roost motif starts in the Colgera theme. Actually gave me chills.

[@nathanapodaca3456]

Fighting Colgera for the first time with Tulin screaming in your ear as you dive to the sound of the choir reaching crescendo was the first time I ever legitimately got chills during a Zelda game, and was one of the most heroic moments in the series for me. Finding out that the music is basically the theme from Dragon Roost Island made it even better, as if the spirit of the past Heroes are right there cheering you on.

Wind waker sounds childish, adventurous, friendly, like what it meant to be wind waker an adventure on a ship, BoTW sounds nostalgic, homecoming, like sitting on a campfire, but Colgera's theme, ToTK, sounds epic, sound grandious, glorious,it elevates original theme to its best performance.

[@prisma.]

Wind Waker was the first Zelda game I played, it's one of ny favorites and I got so many memories with it. The moment I recognized Dragon Roost Theme when fighting Colgera felt absolutely surreal. It's one of those feelings I wish I could experience for the first time again, this game is absolutely magical.

[@hypno-scream5652]

My heart nearly stopped when I heard that bit in the Colgera bossfight.

I love this musical phrase so much, it came from my favorite Zelda game growing up and followed into the new era of Zelda that changed the world of gaming

Colgera theme already gives me nostalgia for some reason, even though it's only been a month... (probably from all the dragon roost motifs I guess)

[@guillermozegarramartinez]

[@williamplayz_yt6973]

Colgera's theme needs to be at the climax of the Zelda movie

[@HarmonyMoonbeam024]

Though the BotW and TotK soundtracks are cool the Wind Waker Dragon Roost theme will always be superior imo. I haven’t played Wind Waker in so long, I’d love to actually beat the game bc all the other times I’ve played, I was too scared to hit anything and would have my dad do all of the fighting parts for me lol, ESPECIALLY the giant squids that slowly pull you towards them via the huge whirlpool. I def preferred sandbox games lol

[@Flapjack3734]

[@badasstoad9419]

TOTK’s version managed to do something to me that no other game has in many years now. It brought me back to a time, 10 years ago, in ALL it’s glory! The magical Wind Waker feelings, and powerful goosebumps as well as tears that no other game manages to give me. At that moment, I did not experience Nostalgia that makes me reminisce the past, in an partially faded way. That moment I WAS 10 years back!! I was the kid in my bedroom, who played and loved Wind Waker with all his heart, and made unforgettable memories. ❤ I also was the person who played Ocarina of Time too. Because TOTK managed to bring back a magical feeling of the Zelda games, that frankly BOTW was nowhere near close to achieving. (Lack of music, story and cutscenes, well designed and unique dungeons with unique bosses, etc.) In my eyes, BOTW was an experiment. But TOTK is a REAL Zelda game! What BOTW was trying to be.

I've never played Wind Waker before, but since I beat Colgera and had the chance to listed to that amazing music again, and again... And again, I've had a itchy feeling of needing to play WW, I'm currently just before the fourth temple (temple of thunder) the urge to play WW has gotten so bad I decided to stop playing ToTK just to play WWHD for the first time, I've been enjoying it so far, yesterday I got the Master Sword and started the whole "revitalize it" questline. It's such a chill and beautiful game, I regret not playing it sooner, maybe circumstances weren't at its most relevant for me. But to be honest, I didn't expect WW to be so relevant in ToTK, I thought SS was going to be the most relevant game in there since it didn't shine as much in BotW.
