The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks - The Sacred Duet Complete (WITH PAN FLUTE)

A complete version of The Sacred Duet with the pan flute in the intro that you cannot find anywhere else on KZbin at this point in time.
This track featured on my Top 50 Final Boss Themes Countdown, which I have linked here to anyone interested:
• [Top 50 Final Boss The...
It is the first track that plays in the above video.
I remember searching in vain for a version of the complete duet that had the pan flute in it. All versions on KZbin lack the pan flute in the beginning. There exist versions of the Sacred Duet as it is supposed to sound, but it doesn't continue to the third Malladus battle theme as it does in-game.
So I made a version of it myself by putting both of the tracks (The Sacred Duet and Fierce Demon King) into Audacity and editing it so that they play seamlessly as a single track. This is essentially how the track plays in-game, provided you hit all the pan flute notes perfectly... which I believe is easier said than done.
All credit for the music goes to Nintendo.
Credit of any images shown in the video goes to the respective makers of that material.
Editing was done by me, through the use of the free editing software Audacity.

Say what you will about the DS Zeldas. This is one of the most memorable moments in the series. Finally Zelda contributes critically.

[@SuperTux20]

When I finally reached this, my thoughts were something like this. "Holy shit. It's finally almost over? I don't want it to end yet! Some temples may have made me mad, but still!"

[@paolo6806]

I agree

[@paolo6806]

Its the best moment

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Yes

[@apostatis]

This, imho, is the defining moment when Zelda stopped being a goal, and started being a character.

[@heist1103]

the feeling when you finally do the flute thing right and the sound it makes is the most treasured feeling i have ever felt.

IKR ITS IMPOSSIBLE I SWEAR especially with the damn DS and it’s shitty mic

[@milkfish1605]

I did it 2nd try I legit popped the cartridge out because the new 3ds xl’s mic can’t do this part. I popped it in the DS lite and did it first try.

[@daneoberschmidt498]

You know, come to think of it, this is not the final boss's theme. This is the protagonists theme, as it's based off the song that the Link plays. It's easy to think of it as the Malladus' theme but it makes me feel good that the hero has his theme for this fight

[@onilink134]

Malladus: Why do I hear boss music?

It felt like the music right before the duet was more akin to his theme.

I keep finding myself coming back to the Spirit Tracks soundtrack. People can convince all they want but I will always stand by the opinion that Spirit Tracks has the best OST of every Zelda game

[@moo7662]

I've got to agree, it's either spirit tracks, twilight princess or wind waker. So many good songs from spirit tracks

[@hylianmono]

@@moo7662 its either twilight princess, majora mask or spirit tracks in my opinion

[@tobiasdarkrai1134]

I agree. This definitely goes in the top 3 with Wind Waker and Skyward Sword

[@thiffio9134]

If Wind Walker is peak Zelda game play, Spirit Tracks is peak Zelda self-contained story! This song is hype final boss masterclass!

[@logeyperogi1805]

Other Zelda Games: Our final bosses are epic, impactful, creative and above all, have the GREATEST music to accompany Spirit Tracks: I’m about to do what’s called a pro gamer move

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

This game is 12 years old today, and I don't believe we've had a game with an OST as amazing as this. Some pieces may have been better in newer games, sure, but the OST overall being so good and fitting??? Especially with the final boss theme mixing in the main theme of the game AND overworld theme? Please, Nintendo, give us a way to play this legally again outside of the Wii U VC.

[@SlyJMan]

I played Spirit Tracks when all the Zelda fans around me, like my older brother who beat Phantom Hourglass, said the train was stupid. The game was a blast for me and I liked it far more than PH myself. When I finally reached this end however, it was amazing! Not only was the music great, with a beautiful leitmotif for Full Steam Ahead, but it's Link and Zelda fighting side-by-side, with this great role-reversal of Zelda being the less physically able one as she's been in the Phantoms until now, and Link as the bigger and more combat ready distraction as he's normally been the weaker one who sneaks behind enemies and exploits weaknesses. Even having them share the single health pool was great showing they work as one. Each one taking up a screen and the intensity rising as the fight plays out all for the final blow where you see Zelda running over when she sees Link struggling to help him deliver the final blow. Without a doubt, Zelda in Spirit Tracks is the best companion in the series and is not just relegated to Link's guide, or assistant, but a true partner who's had his back every step of the way, all the way to that finishing blow. Definitely a step up from Ocarina's finale. She definitely made her grandma Tetra proud there. Definitely best handheld Zelda (not counting Breath of the Wild).

[@_galacticfates]

This was my first contact with the Zelda franchise back when I was just around 8 years old, and when I reached this part after spending countless hours on this game I swear starting this section hit me like a truck. Not only that, 10 years later now that I've completed many other Zelda games (and my personal favorites being this one and Twilight Princess), each time I remember this game I get reminded of this song in particular and I get really emotional really fast, and when 1:25 reaches I start sobbing like crazy. This game is probably one of the dearest things I hold from my childhood, and I literally can't recommend enough this game for anyone interested in playing it. This song also may be one of (if not) the most underrated songs in the whole franchise. There's so much emotion dumped at you at once it's simply beautiful.

[@kevmadueke5671]

I wholeheartedly agree with you, this song and game is so nostalgic for me I can’t even begin to explain how it makes me feel. This game and Phantom Hourglass were my first two Zelda games and I still treasure them to this day.

[@arbiterazure]

I couldn't agree with everything you said more, Spirit Tracks was the first game I ever got 100% on and I loved every moment of. The only two things I will say I very slightly disagree with is instead of Twilight Princess being one of my favorites, it would have to be Skyward Sword and instead of 1:25 making me sob, it's 2:41 purely from the feeling of absolute power to take on anything.

[@SpinningGary]

First played this when It came out and I was 9, and I just finished the game again yesterday. The emotions hit me hard.

[@venti2569]

I wish i could say i grew up with this game i never had a 3ds and still dont but if/when i ever get one st will def be one of the first games ill play the ost sounds amazing and the story does too

[@maitaitiu]

something i love to think about is how the director for the music from botw, manaka kataoka, only worked on one zelda game before that (as far as i know). this one. she's an absolute legend. when the overworld theme kicks in i cant help but tear up- this track is so fucking good. this whole game is so good.

[@thatonegamer1307]

[@kneecaps3892]

Exactly! I absolutely love the music mechanics with the lokomos, I'm so sad that they don't (and probably will never knowing the spirit tracks is among the lowest rated zelda games 😞) bring it back

[@SuperTux20]

It was the desert guy's song I got stuck on. Turns out I was just playing it half a beat too early, and misinterpreting what the little bubbles meant. When they pop, you're playing it right. If they just shrink into nonexistence, you're doing it wrong.
