What’s YOUR Zelda Music IQ? | Guess That Theme Ep. 2

[@ajfgerfer]

Romance in the air from SS is such an underrated zelda track

[@kylinor3025]

Yesss and SS is just underrated in general imo 😍🎶 What's your one of your favorite SS songs?

[@linkofhyrule6580]

@@kylinor3025gate of time is second only to romance in the air

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Fi’s Theme 100%. One of my all time favs. I don’t honestly know a whole lot of others, I guess Ballad of the goddess…

[@kylinor3025]

@@ZeldaMusicTheory Fi's theme always makes me tear up 🥲

[@eljuanman999]

​@@ZeldaMusicTheoryFi's theme is wonderful, but I like Romance in the Air even more. Maybe it's because I've played the game, idk. If you haven't so far, you need to listen to it. And also, play SS. While its linearity may be a bit dragging, it has one of the best stories in the series, if not THE best.

[@LittleAl016]

The title theme for The Wind Waker is pretty much comprised of the two songs you learn for conducting on the titular object called "The Earth God's Lyric" and "The Wind God's Aria". I've always just referred to the song that results when the two are put together as "The Wind Waker Title Theme".

[@Iffondrel]

Since the whole game revolves around awakening the two sages with those songs, it makes it really cool to play through it, learn those songs, and then listen back to the title theme with this new understanding why it is the way it is. A very involved title theme, for sure!

[@LittleAl016]

7:52 You were probably thinking of Tal Tal Heights at this point in the video. You were correct about it being an overworld theme, however. But it's not one that's exclusive to Link's Awakening; it's also present as the Overworld theme for Oracle of Seasons, as well as the Overworld theme for when you're out an about in Present Day Labrynna in Oracle of Ages.

[@Sp0ntanius]

Ballad of the Windfish is referenced in the Hyrule Castle Theme from Breath of the Wild... 🤯🤯 How did I miss this?!

[@merakinoon8487]

20/20 so far. I highly recommend either playing some of the games you missed or at least listening to their music because SS and AoC have some of the best orchestrated tracks. Really gorgeous.

[@MarianoGM99]

You made me laugh with the Pokemon reference in Overworld Theme for Link's Awakening, you're right there, sounds similar! (btw, Pokemon music is AMAZING). Got 9 out of 10 on this one, didn't know the name of the Age of Calamity song

[@Krail1]

8/10. I played Skyward Sword but apparently none of its music stuck with me. And man, Age of Calmity was an unexpected addition.

[@Anndesch]

My favorite Zelda theme has to be the music that is played once you have defeated a boss in Twilight princess. I lingered in the boss rooms for quite a while instead of rushing onwards. Melancholic memories from nights turning into mornings when playing that game and hearing that mesmerizing music... 🎵 🥰

[@ultralex93]

The Link's Awakening/"pokemon theme" is also the overworld theme for Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons I believe. 9/10 today -> I guess I should also play Age of Calamity at some point. 🙃

[@rito_gamer]

I always love “Guess the Zelda Theme” videos! Especially watching other people see how they do! Great video!! (P.S. I’m the 200th like :) )

[@ClassicalCovers]

Nice! These videos are really fun. Played Age of Calamity but still missed that song :'(

[@omegamerk]

Romance in the air is the theme that plays in the beginning where Zelda and Link go on a flight together, it's not the flying theme though. You should play SS though, some of the best music in the series.

[@ShippFilms]

19/20, that Age of Calamity one got me. Had the same reaction as you, "I have never heard this song in my life"

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

🤣

[@Spagoop]

Same, and I’ve played Age of Calamity

[@taidghhaggerty6109]

alright, technically I got tripped up by the links awakening overworld theme, but im giving myself a break because I was going to lock my answer as that until he made me second guess by saying its not from links awakening, and also because I changed it to oracle of seasons overworld, when im pretty sure the overworld theme for all 3 game boy games is the same. huge shoutouts for using age of calamity music as well, that was a surprise. Also I'm kind of miffed by the distinguishing the majoras mask title theme and clock town theme as two separate songs, especially when it doesn't play long enough for the two songs to really diverge

[@dirtywhitellama]

I knew surprisingly few of these! But I did get Ballad of the Windfish right as I was giving up on keeping track

[@BenthovenMusic]

My sister and I both got 9.5/10 because we lost half a point for not knowing the title to that one Age of Calamity music.

[@zeldalina499]

A Quiet Moment is one of my favorite tracks so I got it right away but it is a bit obscure. I dipped into the comments a bit too soon, so only 9/10

[@Xorcrupt]

Ballad of the wind fish is one of the most aggressively bittersweet tunes I've ever heard. 😭

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

I need to break that one down. It's beautiful.

[@christonadams9046]

8/10. You should definitely listen to and analyse Age of Calamity's music. One of the best soundtracks on the Switch

[@moldomre4838]

Wow I did not see that Age of Calamity one coming, I thought it was Marin's theme from Link's Awakening or something lol. I have played it so I heard it before, just couldn't remember. Managed to get everything else though! Proud of that Romance in the Air recognition too, one of my favorite songs from Skyward Sword.

[@LittleAl016]

Marin's theme is basically The Ballad of the Wind Fish.

[@kevmauldin]

I did the audio for my former roommate's first wedding. They used the second song on this list for when they walked down the aisle at the end.

[@kylinor3025]

:'0 That is so cute! Oh that's awesome :D

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

That’s amazing

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

I think I’ve figured it out. The reason I know the ones I know is because I’ve played those Zelda’s through at least four times each. Oot, MM, TP, LttP

[@DT10]

8/10 this week for me... missed the same ones as you, except I got the links awakening overworld theme

[@someoneelse2069]

Got the same score as u, but I didn't get the same answers wrong. Great vid!

[@mckens02]

Oh my gosh your smile is beautiful! Love these Zelda challenges x

[@jeansnow1116]

10/10 for this one damn I'm really a Zelda nerd 😂😂

[@pemanilnoob]

I got romance in the air 100% correct, name and all!!! I knew I was the ultimate skyward sword fan!!!

[@Zellonous]

I watched your House Theme video. 1. I guessed "BotW House Theme" I never played BotW so I only know it from your video. It's very pretty version. Can i even count this one. 2. It took two chords. WindWaker Title Theme. Might as well be Main Theme since the two halves are important in game. I don't think you could just call it Earth God's theme as both the Wind and Earth shrines are involved in this one. Such a good song. 3. Too easy. LoZ Dungeon theme. Good stuff. 4. No idea. Pretty though. I makes me think of an intro type theme. I looked up the OST and it sounds very much like an introduction type theme similar to Fairy Flying. But I have no idea. I'll learn when I get to skyward sword. The name suggests it HAS to do with Link and Zelda. 5. Termina Overworld. The interesting thing about this one is it has the full LoZ overworld theme in it when OoT's Hyrule Field did not. I like it. 6. no idea. I haven't played the dynasty mash ups. I've never even played a Dynasty Warriors game ever. 7. Overworld. The GB/C Zelda games all use this theme. Link's Awakening and The Oracle games. I really like how it was introduced in Link's Awakening. 8. No idea.... 9. Ballad of the Windfish from Link's Awakening. It sounds a bit off but I suspect it's got something to do with the arrangement or just the piano being all the parts. This one is actually one of my favorites 10. Clock Town again? Weird. It's missing the first few notes of the Title I guess. 7/10 if you count the first one. Same score as last time! My Zelda IQ is quite high in games I've actually played! you make me want to learn piano again.

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Love it

[@DerpwaldDuck]

Ooooh, cool! Didn't know about the Hyrule Castle/Windfish thing :o NOICE! Love Hyrule Castle one ^__^

[@themuddywolf5794]

19/20 so far. I also missed romance in the air, which is funny because I'm currently playing SS remastered on switch xD

[@mrister24]

I put several dozen hours into Age of Calamity and I couldn't recall a single song or name of a song from it

[@TheMhalpern]

Song of Storms in ToTK, its the "An Eerie Voice" quest where you find Sagessa, Highland Stable, Faron,

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

So I looked it up but the humming the woman does is not Song of Storms. And there are lyrics that would sort of match the rhythm of song of storms, but I haven’t yet heard the actual theme… 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TheMhalpern]

@@ZeldaMusicTheory it matches the notes you play to trigger song of storms in OoT. I think, given the time in the lore, and the fact that they are diagenic think of it like Original Scarborough Fair vs Simon and Garfunkel Scarborough Fair if you must

[@bomberfox5232]

Needs more oracle of seasons/ages. Best gameboy soundtracks.

[@ecridemon7644]

lets go, didnt expect another video so soon for some reason! despite having played AOC (i loved it) i didnt get the A Quiet Moment theme. Also the stable theme sounds so different played on the piano that it really threw me off at the beginning, but as soon as the melody kicked in i recognized it. Funny how switching out the instrument can totally change a melody. So my score for this one was 9/10 which im quite proud of. Keep em comin, cant wait for round 3!

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Thanks Ecri- I know your name because you have sent me some really cool references which I have still not made time to vet (I have about 25 confirmed and another 30 to vet lol), but I remember your name because I made a note to go back and read your comments. So if I haven’t responded in the past, that’s why 🤣 Also I filmed 4 episodes in one session, part 3 is already scheduled and uploaded to post next weekend. Part 4 I need to edit. I’ll film 5-10 soon. Working on the Road to Rito series now! 3 Episodes filmed. I’m sitting on footage of 6 videos 😆 Lots to come.

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Thank you so much! Messages like this mean a lot, thanks for commenting. Really enjoying it. I’ll give you a slight sneak peak since you made me smile- I’m working on scripts for 3 or so videos that are music more music Theory involved. Like modes of specific chords, fun stuff to come. 👍🏼

My favourite Zelda song of all time must be Midna's Lament from Twilight Princess 🥰

[@eileensmiller8041]

I got 8.5 out of 10 on this. I'm kinda giving myself at least half a point because i knew the one song came from Age of Calamity, but i forgot the name and then i missed the Dungeon theme from the first game

[@UltimateTobi]

Gr, 8/10 this time.

[@TheDarkLink7]

*Fun Fact:* if you listen to the music during the Level/Dungeon in NES Zelda 1. Listen closely to it when you pick up an item cause you'll hear a note oe two drop.

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

They had some serious limitations with sound effects vs channels for notes. It’s amazing what Koji Kondo accomplished.

[@TheDarkLink7]

@@ZeldaMusicTheory it's why I feel that Koji Kondo and Shigeru Miyamoto are the John Williams and Steven Spielberg of Nintendo.

[@craftedinsanity406]

Yo, 7/10! I got termina field, age of clams, and link's awakening overworld wrong.

[@smurgledwerf]

19/20 so far, I've never played Age of Calamity.

[@triforcecreeper]

I have 19/20 overall, I missed the age of calamity one, I gave myself Link's Awakening Overworld although I said Oracle of Seasons/Ages Overworld because they're both literally exactly the same as it.

[@TheMhalpern]

Could you do song of Storms evolution? I know its in at least a few, OoT, TP( i think its a howling stone), i think they quote it in other games where the weather changes, and I KNOW its in TOTK, with an amazing reference regarding where it is used.

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Oh wow, really? If I don’t mention it give me like a month and then tell me 🤣 Definitely want to know that reference in TOTK. And I don’t know a whole lot of games it’s in, I’d have to do a bit of research.

[@TheMhalpern]

@@ZeldaMusicTheory they actually give some words to it, in text in ToTK

[@TheMhalpern]

@@ZeldaMusicTheory bit of warning its only 8 notes of it on repeat in ToTK (the same notes you play in OoT) so if you don't read the text it might not be that obvious

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Okay I need your help, can’t even find it googling it. Where is the song of storms in TotK? Preferably send a link (And in a new comment, not on this thread or I probably won’t see it. Thanks!

6 / 10 the 1st and 4th Theme I had no Clue and it's a Shame for me because I really did like Breath of the Wild but Not Skyward Sword the Motion Controls killed it for me and I didn't finish it but I got close..... I got to Demise before Calling it Quits!, 6th Theme sound Familiar but i was Stumped too had no Clue, and also HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THE OVERWORLD THEME FOR LINK'S AWAKENING? Sorry for Caps but you though it was Pokemon LOL I did pretty good but man do I suck...... and I mostly played Zelda since Ocarina of Time I kept up with the New Ones but also played the Earlier Games I may have missed but Overall Very Good!

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

Hahaha I never played LA, so 90% of the music I don’t know at all. Gotta play it and learn the OST!!

[@ZeldaMusicTheory]

I would probably love it. When I‘ve “Made it” and people would actually watch I may stream things like Skyward Sword and Link’s Awakening, even Twilight Princess. I’m sure Age of Calamity will be on that list. But that’s probably a LONGGGG time away 😁
