The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: Final Trailer Music (Version 2)

[@charismaticRogue]

they did NOT need to go this hard for a trailer but im so eternally glad they did

[@lfvgamerbro]

Why wouldn’t they, this will be game of the year soon! I’m betting it!

[@nickwillson7676]

They obviously had to, can you imagine the hype of people who played OCOT and loved every second of it, finding out that there was going to be a sequel? This is that, But on steroids, mighty simmered fruit, and phantom armor

[@davyzeradaspalmera]

Hits harder than the actual ingame song

[@realkingofantarctica]

The Zelda team has one guy locked in a room by himself and knocks on his door every 6 years when they need a song that will only play in the trailer yet eclipse almost the entire OST.

[@mr.awesome6011]

At least we know it will be in the next Smash Bros.

[@SageKasuto]

🤣 Thank God for that guy in the locked room!

[@autumn_breeze616]

Actually the composer for this (and the 2017 BotW trailer) is the lead composer for the games as well! Her name is Manaka Kataoka, and she's fucking awesome.

[@XanderVJ]

@@autumn_breeze616 Yeap. She started in the series with "Spirit Tracks", which also has a banger of a OST. Honestly, if she becomes Koji Kondo's true successor for the series, I won't complain at all! Also, shout out to the arranger of both trailer themes, Kosuke Yamashita. Apparently, he actually works for Monolithsoft. He joined the company after he composed the OST for the anime adaptation of "Xenosaga Episode I". Which as a decades long "Xeno" fan, kind of blows my freaking mind.

[@bbbbbbb51]

Every time I come back for a listen get chills. It's a fantastically written piece of music, but the erhu over that section really does it for me. The sax is the focal point, but the erhu adds all the background feel for me.

As a lifelong fan of the Zelda games, hearing the actual main motif at 2:54 made me absolutely cry. It’s that power that a connection with the franchise for years builds up and holy moly. I love it so much.

[@Arshys]

Yesssss

[@thedoctorreileymtd4022]

Me too man, me too. It’s like when you hear the main Zelda theme you know shit is serious. And I love the new chord resolve they did at the end of the motif. It’s so good. Makes me cry too

Same bro. Absolutely beautiful

[@Volcano91]

Ear orgasm

[@jedimaster2011]

I am as well a long time Zelda fan. (Even though the first Zelda game i played was Ocarina of Time) I have been for about seven years now. I agree though. That part in my opinion, is the best part. 😁

This trailer music gives me the chills. Especially the part when it shows Riji with her swords, the music is great there

[@Kevenimg]

You get it, and when he’s pairing with the shield sword. 👌🏼

[@jockson7574]

“But you’re not alone” hits hard. Link isn’t the only one facing this upheaval. Not to mention he isn’t the only one fighting Ganon’s army. We see soldiers of many races standing up to Ganon’s army and aren’t gonna run away anymore. They wanna risk their lives to protect hyrule. Not to mention the sages have their avatars to protect Link and they show up in hyrule castle and in gloom’s lair to show that link isn’t alone and that he doesn’t have to fight by himself according to Tulin. That’s one think I liked about this game. To directly fight alongside the people of hyrule just like in age of calamity

[@mr.awesome6011]

It's funny because this line of dialog in the game is actually spoken to Rauru. But it doe apply just as well to Link.

[@jockson7574]

@@mr.awesome6011 yeah true. Not to mention Rauru is kind of apart of Link

[@charlotteclarke3393]

3:33 those 3 notes of Zeldas lullaby end it perfectly.

[@titorodrigues4580]

The saxophone part with the chorus makes me non ironically VERY emotional for how epic it is, really, depending on my mood it can water my eyes up, music messes up with me like nothing else does.

[@Goob1246]

I think it's because saxophones aren't normally supposed to sound this grand and epic. Hearing it like this adds so much storytelling to the music. Despite all odds, the saxophone transcends.

[@Koppeling]

Watching this for the first time was surreal. I’ll never be that excited again. This is definitely a core memory.

[@HaydxnTV]

By far one of the most greatest Zelda’s of all time. I don’t care what anyone else says.

[@Kurumi-vm3fo]

[@HaydxnTV]

@@Kurumi-vm3fo BotW and TotK are both amazing.

[@armedairplane1480]

It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it, I still get goosebumps. I know everyone praises the saxophone part, and rightfully so it is absolutely incredible… but I feel like the opening doesn’t get nearly enough praise. It is SO GOOD.

[@Kaldrin]

Right? With Link plunging into the skies as the music sky rockets to open the adventure with the leitmotif it's just BRILLIANT

[@Zakzattak]

Not a made up story!- I was driving down the highway blasting this ost and four huge macaws grouped and flew next to my car windows as I drove. Stayed with me for a good mile. It was a fuckin fantastical movie moment

THE MUSIC AT 1:59 Is such an inspiration.

[@capndikkens5790]

By far the best trailer music I've ever heard. And the trailer itself was absolutely insane. 4 minutes of pure insanity, in a good way of course.

Coming back to this now, I'm somehow already nostalgic for Tears of the Kingdom, even though it came out earlier this year.

Jesus christ this is amazing from the saxaphone to the og oot ganondorf theme to the main motif sound and the first three notes from Zelda's lullaby is just hella good

[@itsyeetorbeyeeted936]

If (actually WHEN) this wins Game of the Year, we BETTER have a saxophone going ham Edit: Guess this didn't age that well, huh (I will say Baldur's Gate 3 definitely deserved Game of the Year, and TotK did win Best Action/Adventure so I'll take it)

[@soudakatt]

Baldur's and Zelda are going head to head and I'm excited for it, finally some real competition!

[@capndikkens5790]

​@souda3120 and then we've got Spider-Man 2 and Starfield coming out soon, which are two highly anticipated games that, if they turn out to be good, could easily be a contender for GOTY.

[@soudakatt]

@@capndikkens5790 so far, Baldur's and Zelda are the big contenders tbh

[@julianfan5794]

Who else but the flute guy from last year to play sax enthusiastically

[@StorySpire434]

FF16 is also likely to be a fair contender, despite what Journalists try to say. That game went OFF with sales(and only for PS5??? Imagine if it released to everything else)

[@l3xiomusic]

This is the first version I've heard where you can't hear the recall sound. BLESS YOU AND YOUR SKILLS

[@trytotopthis3152]

The part that starts at 1:59 should have played at the end of the game when your friends come to your aid and help you fight against Ganondorf's army.

[@henrytime181]

Honestly, I've been listening this MASTERPIECE since it cames out and I have no words to describe the feelings it gives to me. What this franchise means to me and lots of people is just something breathtaking and unique.

[@raphaelcarvalhobezerra6913]

This game was an adventure even before i pressed play. Holy shit, Nintendo, can you please give my heart more?

[@thedoctorreileymtd4022]

Hearing that main Zelda theme at the end, it’s just so special to a die hard fan like myself. When the main theme comes on in a Zelda game, that’s when you know shit is serious. And I adore the new little chord resolve they added to the end of the motif here 3:00. It has this epic heroic, powerful feel to it that is something you can’t quite describe and it makes me tear up with joy and passion. There was nothing like experiencing this live days before the game came out. Top life experiences here
