[@marionrobinson6391]

I'm 46 years old and you have taken me back all the way to my childhood.. Wonderful memories of my brother and me fighting over the Nintendo. Lol

[@seedsiv]

This music still sounds epic

[@Shanedog76]

its cool that's just fine!!! enough with the other comment!!!!! you hear on TV. commercials!!!

[@davidgardiner8525]

It is epic!

[@tylancaster570]

______Even more so on my Bose sound link color 2.

[@mccosmicdj5066]

Possibly the best Nintendo soundtrack of all the original games...

[@gintozlato1880]

Agree

Hi guy

[@W1SM]

1st song is from gameboy right?

[@luis94289428]

TheHylian Honestly, I copy-pasted your comment just so that I wouldn´t have to scroll down all the way trying to find that certain theme, since a one´s own comment always appears at the top. xD Of course though, the credit is all yours!

[@matts.8356]

Real MVP thank you

[@normanbates6616]

wow this soundtrack is only 9 minutes, and now we have 4 hour soundtracks. it's great to see how far we've come...

[@blackattack1840]

Remind generations hundreds of years from now to pay respects to this classic masterpiece.

[@davidv8888]

Nothing cooler than the feeling you get when you step into the final dungeon. For the entire game you have grown used to the single dungeon song. Then there is Gannon, it gives you chills, it feels like the end, you are finally there, the final boss. There is something so powerful about a new song after hours upon hours of that 6 minutes of music looped.

[@gintozlato1880]

So right

In 1990, I was a ten-year-old girl visiting a video game store in San Jose. My mom, her brother, and the proprietor all tried to convince me not to buy The Legend of Zelda, because it was too hard. I am going to be thirty-eight next Tuesday, and I'm so glad I didn't listen to them. I'm saving up to buy Breath of the Wild, and eventually want to get the GBA rereleases of a lot of the other games.

[@elotrovargas9781]

It was the right choice, long live Zelda.

[@Arda-qd7cy]

It was definitely the right choice.

[@julianarstrp]

Nice botw got ,e into the series I’m young so I’m ready for the next generation and my uncle gave us his n64 so I can play ocarina of time

[@chloevaughn9755]

I’m currently playing botw rn and I’m so glad I decided to play it, I’m only 15 (16 very soon) but when I was around 5-7 I played Zelda all the time on my brother’s gameboy and his cube it’s such a nostalgic thing for me I have such fond memories of it, and this music really takes me back lol

im about to be 22 and listening to this still hits me with a wave of nostalgia from my childhood of playing this and the other zelda games that were included in the collection i played on the nintendo game cube.

[@doom5895]

same but with virtual console (wii)

[@vibe_czech6848]

[@jeffdiamond486]

I can still see in my mind that gold cartridge. It stood out so much from all the gray around it, like it was screaming for you to look at it and play, even if for just a little bit. Then you were hooked in.

[@striderstache99]

I'll never forget getting this in 1989 for my birthday. I had collected both the red and blue rings and whistles, had a shit ton of heart HP, and was generally killing it at the game, when the power went out, cut the power to the NES during the game. When it came back and I restarted the NES, all my saves were gone. I was so angry and sad that I cried for a literal hour lol.

[@user-iz6el3xk2x]

These sounds from the older days are so beautiful. I feel nostalgic and it makes me get wet with tears even though I didn't live those days.

[@Landrar]

You didn't miss much. There was some better music, better cartoons, better toys, and some better TV and moves, but that's about it. Other than that it was just daytime talk show hosts like Oprah, Donahue, and Geraldo trying to convince all the fat, suburbanite housewives that theur precious fuck trophies were being fingerbanged by satanic cult members in the schools and daycare centers. And who could ever forget the moral majority. Ugh. The 80s are fun to reminisce about but I'd never want to go back.

[@gggumball]

Nintendo music is the kind that when you hear it for the first time in ages you cry.this gives me that feel, along with n64 rainbow road, a few Galaxy soundtracks and theres a lot more of them.these are the best

[@icemanowns1]

Happy 30th Birthday Legend of Zelda!!!!

Title screen theme will always be my favorite NES tune.

[@s_orax]

This melody is so iconic, just heard it in breath of the wild and got chills. Rlly took me back

[@maxmargaritis]

Although I didn’t grow up with these songs or games, the soundtrack is still amazing

[@bendigginsjr6121]

On my 11th birthday I got TLOZ, that gold cartridge, I knew this gonna be the shit lol. And hearing the music for the 1st time when you put it in, was mesmerizing. Those were the days, now I play those ROM hacks of Zelda games for nostalgia moments.

[@thoughteagle208gaming]

im 14 now ive been playing this game for as long as i can remember this is what got me into gaming on my dads NES with the gold cartrige. i still to this day havent beaten the game but ive gotten back into it recently and i think its finally time.

[@TruthIsAsOldAsGod]

Did you win?

[@colbygillette]

@@TruthIsAsOldAsGod yeah after lots of struggling i finally beat it

[@cuddleslapine]

after listening to the Famicom Disk System enhanced version of the title theme, this version sounds a little bit empty, I mean, you can clearly hear that one channel is completely missing.

[@Biscuit-Triscuit]

When you heard the into screen you knew you were in some deep stuff

[@alfredorosado1]

Wow! amazing to hear this after all these years. I played this game when it first came out. I'm in my middle ages now and can remember finishing both the game and the second run after typing in "Zelda" a hard mode. lol I even remember Nintendo having the monthly subscription my mom used to get for me walking thru this game. I beleive it was called Nintendo Power. great late 80's game for my childhood years. great upload!

[@matthewbertrand4139]

Alfredo Rosado You know you didn't need to enter your name as "Zelda" to do the second quest, right? If you finished the game on your file, open it again and the second quest will begin.

[@b.d6642]

I'm fourteen how am i feeling nostalgic towards this?!

[@commentercommentypants7904]

Because it's an old and iconic part of gaming history, and a lot of people are nostalgic for it, including some people you might have had contact with or seen on the internet with. I suppose there must be such a thing as contact nostalgia. 🤔

[@Jetterz1999]

I've always found the main theme to be a banger, no matter how old it is. It always gets stuck in my head when I remember it

[@dr.c7679]

My first game on the NES. I think I just walked through a wall! Thank you, my friend, for bringing me back to happy carefree times!

[@HotBox009]

I love this. Nostalgia all over. One of the best video game music ever

[@Kragatar]

It's amazing they could make such great music with nothing to work with besides square waves and white noise

[@Jessica-zf8kh]

Yess the beginning of an amazing franchise~

[@ciel-bell]

Today, the Legend of Zelda series turns 33. I would type some hearts, but the amount of hearts needed to encompass my love and gratitude for this series would break KZbin. so, I'll settle for just one: From the bottom of my heart, *Thank you, Nintendo!*

[@neumanngymnastics]

I loved my childhood...so many memories hearing this...thanks Zeldafan!!!!

[@ranmindyt2902]

So magical

[@ericsalazar2077]

Every time I hear these songs it's time to go on journey to save the princess. Takes me back to when I was younger. Now all I need is to find my sword

[@cosmicdust01]

nostalgic. thanks so much for putting this up!

[@mopbrothers]

One thing I really cherish about Zelda 1 and 2 is that the final dungeons have unique music. Link to the Past sadly didn't do this. And then in OOT all the dungeons musics became unique. As a kid it really made you feel special that you made it to the final level.

[@one37am]

4:13 guess I was the only weird kid that loved that song lol

[@draiic]

+one37am No it was one of my favorites, too :D

The two rooms of Dark Knights to get that stinkin whistle. We wore that whistle out after retrieving it for the first time. It was quite a victory. It made the whistle seem like buried treasure.

[@MrTree1779]

When Zelda was still imagination-inspiring, difficult, and enjoyably open-world. "This is Hyrule, you are Link, there is a cave. Good luck."

35th anniversary Comming this year. But nothing can beat this epic music.

[@zethcrownett2946]

I was humming overworld to myself while working today ❤

[@Rubberman202]

Something about this feels so magical, and it's hard to explain why. Orchestra music is here to say for The Legend of Zelda series and it's all great stuff, but there's something about the simplicity of this chiptune music and how it's still able to convey specific emotions and feeling just goes to show how much of an incredibly composer Koji Kondo is.

[@esprsjsalvz]

Nerd chills start at 4:18

[@LITTLE1994]

For 1986, the original Zelda was a great hit.

[@edithboozy1000]

Only thing missing from the 5:27 "best dungeon" music is the sound of 15 hearts being refilled from empty. Something about that added effect is really satisfying.

[@thebasementband8366]

Older I get the more I respect. Good game music. Not just child hood. These are actual musicians making the sound track. To gamer life.

Probably one of the greatest games ever! Especially for me I was 10 when this game came out! Ocarina of time a close second, wind waker 3rd!

[@deannapalmer3490]

It still amazes me that this game was built on 128k of ram!!! Took me months to beat!!! Best money i ever spent!

wow, this game is so good I never noticed that it only had like 5 songs.

[@VanillaGamingCo]

Awesome memories. The theme song is haunting.

You have to realize what they were working with- it was an 8 bit system. At the time, I was blown away- the melody, even to this day, ranks at the top for me- and would place it beside a movie soundtrack from John Williams or Hans Zimmer

[@engvidAlex]

Because you can never go back. Nostalgia is only healthy in small doses. Otherwise, it can destroy you emotionally.

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

I'm being honest when I say even though the original Zelda does not rank highly as one of my favorite Zelda games, by games in general, it's still very high up there.

[@mohammadhaikalumarghifari2818]

Mm

[@matthewbertrand4139]

GameAddict51 Your opinion is valid.

[@dinodamo9752]

Death (5:36) and The Ending (7:10) have very similar melodies. I've always said that, "There's something magical about the original Legend of Zelda." If Nostalgia is the Afterlife, then there truly is something magical about this game.
