I'm glad they actually had to re-write a theme song, because while Bolero is a great classical piece, it doesn't scream Legend of Zelda. The title theme we ended up getting, definitely screams Legend of Zelda, and that sense of wanting to explore a large and immersive world!

You can hear the resemblance in parts of Bolero though. I.e. the main melody and the snare drum/marching motif. Not sure what part of Bolero they were going to use - it starts out really soft and takes a long time to get going. Whereas the Zelda title music hits you with that violin sound right away which works a lot better for a title screen IMO. So I’d say the final product was inspired by Bolero, but morphed into an original song that probably worked out better of course because it was tailor made for the role.

Oh man, 50 years on a copyright. Those were the days. I'm glad that the theme turned out great. A good deal of a game's autmophere is in the music. Especially the older NES, SNES, and Game Boy games, where graphics were limited to just pixels. Now isn't copyright something like 120 years after the death of the original owner, +15 years additional per rerelease. And don't get me started on Europe's copyright artical that is going to cause trouble when it goes into effect. Bah!

They respected the law and the original creator even though it was only one month until it would be okay to use the music. And today they just demand the same respect for their work, don't they? I don't see anything wrong with that. Or is Nintendo rampaging against people who use public domain works?

From what I understand, the launch date of the Famicom Disc System was pretty much set in stone, and Zelda was to be the big launch title. If they delayed it, then the disc system would be left without a "killer app". Though if you're SEGA then you can move a hardware launch around as much as you want...

You know, I always thought that Kondo made up the entire Zelda theme in a day because they found out last minute that they couldn't use Bolero, but now I know that he had at least created the overworld theme before this, meaning he had something to work from. It's still a major accomplishment, but not exactly the same as coming up with one of gaming's most iconic themes from scratch in a single day. In any case, based on what I thought I knew about this story, I had been under the impression that if Bolero hadn't been under copyright still, we'd be listening to that in all future Zelda games instead of what we know of as the Zelda theme. But it's hard to know for sure. The overworld theme did exist, so I could see it becoming the music that the series was known for later on, much like Mario became synonymous with the music you heard while playing. Speaking of which, the funniest thing about this is that I remember a number of NES games that didn't have title music at all, like Super Mario Bros for example. Other games shared the same title music, like various sports games. But I guess Zelda was something special, so they felt they had to go the extra mile with the music to get the feel they were going for.

When Super Mario got big it became part of the brand, which is why every Mario game since has been Super. Most of the other ones had SUPER added because they were on the SUPER FAMICOM (or the S in SNES).

I’ve always loved the music in Zelda. Every track feels distinct and feels like it’s own thing. Hell, even the title music from Zelda 1 and the overworld theme from the same game feel different. The title screen gets me hyped for a great adventure. The faster pace of the overworld theme keeps that feeling going, while also adding some energy. I’ve played.... probably about 3/4 of all Zelda games. I’ve got 3 favourites. Oddly enough, from entirely different eras. Zelda 2’s temple theme The dark world theme from LttP Gerudo Valley theme from OoT .... these ones always get me excited to hear them. Great stuff.

No, the original title theme was Bolero, which Nintendo never used. The one you heard (the title theme from Ocarina of Time) was used in the original Zelda. You´re confusing the title theme with a random Zelda soundtrack

I haven't played the majority of Zelda Games but I've watched a lot of videos on the matter and so far, my absolute favorite piece of music is the title theme of The Wind Waker. I even learned it on the flute, I absolutely love it.

Ravel's Bolero is such a bad idea for the title screen.... knowing the bolero from before and/or hearing it in so many other places in the media in general, it wouldn't have had the impact it actually achieved. I'm so thankful for this incident that actually made the game much more memorable...and showed once again the power of pressure on a desperate guy pulling an all-nighter. Genius, Mr. Kondo.

Although it wasn’t in any of the earlier games, Gerudo Valley has been my ABSOLUTE favourite piece of LoZ music, followed very closely by the original theme and Zelda’s lullaby.

For a company that strikes down fan projects with Copyright Infringement, they don't like it when the same thing could have easily happened to them during their Arcade and NES years. Oh and thanks to Disney (who has blatantly used Public Domain stories for profit and even Plagiarized Kimba the White Lion when they made the film The Lion King and claimed it was their original work), many of these copyright music laws are being extended longer after the original composer dies.

I've certainly been a fan of Ravel's Bolero, going so far as to learn it on an 8 string guitar! But I'm so glad he composed an original theme instead. Problems often can lead to signature and inspirational solutions
@river-t4y
@river-t4y 3 жыл бұрын
Funny story: Bolero was actually the inspiration for the famous Gerudo Valley music. So it's quite amusing that Gerudo Valley almost became the main theme for Legend of Zelda, got shelved, and then resurfaced later as the most popular song in all of Zelda.

Gosh darn I love this channel. Great video, as always. I never heard of this story before, but I gotta say the final version we ended getting for the intro is so iconic to me that I'm glad it went down that way. Even to this day I feel like grabbing a sword and dangerously swinging it around my head whenever I hear it. I'll paint one of my socks green, slap that bugger onto my head, and go for an adventure! Keep up the amazing content buddy, don't burn yourself out, and good luck with your channel growth! :^)

As a Zelda fan old enough to have played the original to death, I already knew the main part of this story from other videos I'd previously watched on the subject, but you went into so much more detail about the rest of the music development that I was still very much entertained. One of these days I'm going to put aside the time to play through the Famicom version on my Switch, the music is just so much better, and as an old fan, I don't need to be able to read the text anymore. :P I'd sub just off this video if I wasn't already. :)
