It has one of the best dungeon theme intros in Zelda, probably second to the Palace of Winds.

[@aammirati91]

My personal favorite dungeon theme from OoT! Just need to point out that if the instruments are to be listed in order of appearance, the dilruba would be listed before the darbuka. I just love how the first percussive note seems to hit out of nowhere in this song. Great job identifying all of them!

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thanks! Yeah sometimes I write them down as I hear them, but I mess up and hear an instrument later and it gets out of order in my script. 😅

Currently my plan is to do TP after I finish MM’s dungeons, but I’ll be looking into other games after that. Skyward Sword, despite being disliked by the fanbase on the whole, does have some of my favorite songs in the series. So I’m sure I’ll tackle it at some point.

I like the theory that the goddess of the sand is actually twinrova, who convinced the gerudo to worship her while waiting for the one destined to try and conquer the triforce, i.e. Gannondorf. It fits in so well with the duality if the temple and why the hylians believe she is evil

[@SaveDataTeam]

I remember reading this theory while doing research for this video, and I can totally see that. I think the best thing about Ocarina of Time is how much is left unsaid and how so many people have been able to fill in the cracks with so many interesting and reasonable conclusions.

[@linkthepig4219]

Almost like how the statue within the temple is a human woman with a king cobra wrapped around her; it's like the cobra is the belief of a divine natural force/goddess, and the Gerudo lady grins as she receives worship when in reality she is simply using the snake statue to pretend to be divine. It seems like a sacred beast of the desert, but truly, it's a model used by a greedy mortal person pretending to be a goddess or golden cobra or whatever.

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

And turns out its din

[@stripeback2024]

I always thought the Goddess of the Sand was how the Gerudo interpret one (or maybe all three) of the Golden Goddesses, kinda like how many cultures IRL interpret the same gods in different ways.

[@TheToastyNinja]

I always assumed it was a statue of the first Gerudo woman, who was eventually looked at as a deity as time went on. The Gerudo themselves have a rough reputation, so the Hylians thinking that she's evil wouldn't be a big surprise. Down the road, I started to wonder if it represented Din. No matter what, it's a fun and enjoyable mystery, and has one of my favorite dungeon songs from a Zelda game, ever.

[@ggmidori2152]

Old comment, I know, but I do believe you’re spot on about your last comment. I do believe the Gerudo goddess is supposed to be the Gerudo version of the Goddess Din.

[@apushman]

Absolutely loved playing this dungeon when I was a kid, wished it wasn't so late in the game. Original artwork is great as well. It depicts the feeling of the setting really well

[@Karalora]

I speculate that the Goddess of the Sand *is* Din, or an aspect of her specific to the desert. Toward the beginning of the game, the Great Deku Tree recounts the legend of Hyrule's creation, in which Din is said to have created "the red earth." At this point in the cutscene, we see the canyon leading to Gerudo Valley--simple re-use of assets I'm sure, but noteworthy in context; in any case, the rocks of both Gerudo Valley and the desert have a distinct reddish hue. Note also that Din is associated with fire, which symbolically links her to the hot, dry climate of the desert and harsh sun conditions, and besides the numerous Egyptian-style sun motifs in the Spirit Temple, many of the puzzles involve fire or sunlight and sun imagery. Finally, Din's Triforce virtue, Power, is the one most associated with the combat-ready and proud Gerudo people. I think the ancient ancestors of the Gerudo primarily worshiped Din and developed iconography for her that they saw in the environment around them and readily associated with Power: suns, birds of prey, and serpents.

[@playcube4564]

spoilers i think the lore for the gorons is that they basically come in and started squatting, and then the god of the fire temple got angry and started eating them so they smashed him with a hammer, and then he gets revived as the boss of the fire temple by ganondorf explains why the fire temple is so different since it'd be a place of worship made by someone else, the nearby fairy fountains might be linked with it too.

These videos are great, you deserve way more views! Koji Kondo is great. I don't think I'll ever get tired of analysis on his music.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thanks! I am going to work them into my normal schedule of videos so there will be more coming!

[@ThereminHero]

Another great video!! Love these.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you very much! 😁

Great video, I i learned a whole lot watching this, especially in regards to the various instruments such as the duduk, dilruba and darbuka. I also never guessed that the updated Gerudo symbol was a reference to Horus, learned something new. One thing i want to point out though, before i forget, in Sikhism, the practitioners are called Sikhs, but the word is pronounced as seek, not sick, despite how the word looks. I watched your Fire Temple video first before finding this one, definitely enjoying the series so far!

I sometimes listen to an hour or so extended KZbin video of this song at work. It's just entrancing and beautiful.

[@Emperor_Sauron_The_Great]

I really appreciate the breakdown of the instruments used. Great video.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thanks! 😁

I love to learn about what makes song. Good work on the video.

[@sureleyyy]

great series dude!

[@SaveDataTeam]

Glad you enjoy it!

@@SaveDataTeam I've always wanted to do a cover of the spirit temple theme but I don't think I could do it the justice it deserves lol, I've binged majority of this series! Your Forest Temple one was fantastic too!

[@scottithomson5467]

I absolutely love this one. The Spirit Temple music has always been my favorite. Honestly, I would love to see you tackle music from any other Zelda games

[@SaveDataTeam]

We actually have a whole series on ocarina’s temples and are halfway through Majora’s Mask!

[@butzmn7190]

I fucking love the spirit temple. And the music is the cherry on top of the cake

[@durfeyayala]

I recently discovered your videos and I love them! Please continue with the series

[@SaveDataTeam]

I'm planning to have Great Bay out by the end of the month!

[@durfeyayala]

@@SaveDataTeam yay can’t wait! Def will subscribe

[@kylehill3643]

Thanks for not swearing. This video is really detailed.

[@clauseickeschirm1467]

This Theme gives me goosebumps every time.😳 Great Video, you know a lot about Instruments i never heard of. Greetings from germany. 🙂

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you very much! Tbh, I usually never know anything about the instruments until I start doing research for these! 😅

[@WYBsilon]

Being a musician (and a lifelong Nintendo gamer) myself, I very much like your approach! Thumbs up!

[@rafaelcubeddu]

the part I enjoy the most about these videos is the Banjo-Kazooie music in the background. Good to see that game's music getting some recognition.

[@Amestrian]

This was fascinating to watch! thank you for uploading and creating this video! :)

[@SaveDataTeam]

Glad you enjoyed it! We have a whole series on the other dungeons in OoT and are halfway through the Majora's Mask dungeons as well!

[@Vandita3344]

Great job explaining the map en the music instruments used

[@Sunseahl]

I come back yearly to watch this series grow and evolve. It not only renews my love of the Zelda franchise but it makes me sad that most games don't seem to think about their music this deeply anymore.

[@WolfRider67]

First off, I LOVE your videos. You are the first KZbinr in all the time I've been on KZbin to whom I have subscribed at literally the first video I saw--and only halfway through the video at that. Keep it up! Secondly, can you do Wind Waker? I started on OoT so WW was the first zelda game I came across that didn't use an ocarina and I have always been curious about the choice. Plus I love the music in that one. Not just temples but locations, like Outset Island or the Korok place
