Why the Temple of Time's Theme in Ocarina of Time is such an Amazing Piece of Zelda Music

[@SaveDataTeam]

What do you think about The Temple of Time and it's music? Tell us about it below! Also, it would be a huge help to getting these videos out at a faster rate if you supported us financially at: Patreon.com/savedatateam And I stream Zelda Randomizers sometimes at: Twitch.tv/savedatateam

[@LegoLover5543]

Around minute 16, you play the 3rd phrase of the Temple of Time theme, and the scored note in measure 3 of that line is a low C, but the audio is a D. Not trying to be pedantic, but just wanted to share since that's another example of the final appearing in the piece!

[@freefighter92]

So happy these are making a comeback!! Great video

[@allypezz]

Played the original as a kid. I was capable of beating the early temples and bosses easy enough, but without a guide I was relying on asking my friend at school where to go next. The times I didn't know where to go next, I'd go to the temple wondering why it was so empty, what was behind the door, what was the secret of it? All with that atmospheric chant in the background. It felt very special. Ahhh the days you couldn't watch a walkthrough and no choice but to truly get lost in a game.

[@RickyBBlessed]

Can't wait for you to cover Twilight Princess ot my favorite Breath of the Wild's main theme.

[@kendrabaker4271]

Super glad you guys came out with another of these! Please don’t let it be the last! This series of videos got me into music, analogy, and history in games. Now I can’t seem to scratch that itch because I’ve watched them all multiple times. Please sir, can I have some more?

[@GeekMasterGames]

The sheer fact that he was able to make 12 unique songs out of one mode of only 5 notes to lead off is worthy of a video on its own.

[@ultrahotwings9738]

.. funny enough, someone already did a video of that exact concept you mentioned. Although, I'm always game to see other musically inclined people put their own takes and input on their interpretation of the artform! {: Edit: It's actually mentioned in the video. The video by 8-bit covers this very idea. Edit #2: I'm dumb. That's a different video, but same person. 8-bit did a whole spiel on the brilliance of writing a bunch of melodies using only five notes. It's actually given me some ideas in my own compositional journey!

[@vicctorree500]

not to mention majora's mask

[@Risen907]

never actually thought about that and considering this is one of the most iconic soundtracks of all time thats extremely impressive

[@ultrahotwings9738]

@@Risen907 I know it's a cliche phrase, but "Restrictions Breed Creativity" is pretty true of most of the arts. Whether you're a creative writer who does daily writing prompts to focus yourself or a music composer restricting yourself to composing using only three instruments (to emulate how 8-bit music only had three channels), oftentimes those restrictions really force the creative mind to go above and beyond in order to produce within the limits. Although, admittedly, it is pretty stressful as well when you're also on a time crunch.

[@PhoenixDening-cz5wd]

Zelda game according to Nintendo it's good but we need to put this song somewhere and now it's in almost every game

[@stevenxenoknight3845]

Much needed video series returns to 2023. This is going to be epic. Keep them coming.... Please.

[@bluerabbit4010]

I didn't even realized it till I read your comment XD

[@timmy3822]

The Temple of Time always felt like a special place. I would often just slow walk through the hall just to take in the song and ambiance. It’s honestly astonishing to recognise what an achievement the songs were in OOT, especially when you learn just how many limitations there were. I can still instantly recall at least half of the songs from OOT some 25 years later.

[@FatalJestor]

I did too..

[@Peter-rt3fl]

I did too

[@41illusion]

I did as well.

[@mookiestewart3776]

Yup we all did that “slow walk”….. it was like a right of gaming passage back in the day

[@nikibogwater6598]

When I was a kid playing on the N64, any time I got frustrated with a dungeon or scared by a certain area's ambiance (lookin' at you, Tomb of the Royal Family), I'd take a break from OoT's main story and just go vibe in the Temple of Time. It reminded me of the cathedral where my parents and I attended Mass every week, so it was familiar and soothing to me, without losing any of its grandeur or mystery. I've loved all the videos in this series, but I'm especially happy that the Temple of Time was the subject of your triumphant return to these essays. Really looking forward to more!

[@johntaylor4810]

It's so cool that you have such a good memory, with family nonetheless. I hope you live more good moments so your life has a great collection of good memories!

[@gracenote108]

Tomb of the Royal Family? It's been ages since I played so what area is that referring to? Shadow Temple?

[@nikibogwater6598]

@@gracenote108 It's an area beneath Kakariko Graveyard. You reach it by playing Zelda's Lullaby in front of the Royal Family's gravestone. Making your way through it rewards you with the Sun's Song, which freezes Re-Deads and allows you to skip forward to either morning or night. The Tomb mostly terrified me as a kid because of the aforementioned Re-Deads lol.

[@FuryMcpurey]

@@nikibogwater6598 I genuinely risked it all and just jumped through the acid pools to avoid them, honestly. I understand the fear.

[@h8GW]

I just hope your family didn't find its portrayal blasphemy.

[@prenoko]

Temple of Time might be the most impactful song in OoT. Not my favorite but certainly moving in a very spiritual way.

[@mookiestewart3776]

There’s a reason all of us slow walked through that area as kids

[@user-gh8sg7oc9r]

It was a somber place, impeccable atmosphere. Although, the remake version makes everything look over-bright and clownish compared to the original version

[@blueglass24]

Very cool to see this series return! The Temple of Time music is definitely one of the most memorable tracks to originate in OOT, and I love how the simpleness of it plays so well into its use ingame as the Song of Time. So many Bible spoilers in this video!

[@SaveDataTeam]

😅

[@Extreme11]

@@SaveDataTeam you said you'd do Final Hours from Majora's Mask 2 years ago! Please!

[@been_rly_n2_paragliding_lately]

I think using 5 notes for many of the songs worked in their favor. The songs are simple, beautiful, and most of all memorable. Limitation often breeds creativity and I definitely think that is the case here. The music in OoT is probably my favorite of any game ever. It just adds so much. I also love how you can change the pitch of the ocarina with the joystick. Adding that was a nice little tidbit that they could have easily foregone, and I'm glad they didnt.

[@ARentz07]

This is wonderful. I know Koji Kondo is a legend, but now I understand a little more about how exactly he got there. This man did his homework.

[@MariaMountain4831]

I've always loved how this song can feel so haunting, yet strangly calming at the same time. It really is the perfect atmospheric piece. And Koji Kondo was a genius. I can't imagine how much time and effort must have gone into this. All the history was really interesting, especially about the architecture of the temple. You've helped me gain a new appreciation for one of the best songs in one of my favorite games. Thank you.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you for the kind words 😁

[@PrimePCGaming]

I decided to do a comfort rewatch of these recently and was happy to see a few more new ones! Then I go back to finish the Playlist and find ANOTHER new video added? So glad this series is continuing lol

[@ketanhein]

I love to rewatch these videos too

[@hylianchampion8867]

I remember listening to this song when I first entered the Temple of Time as a kid, that was a magical experience. Thanks for making an analysis video on it, I always enjoy learning about the real-world inspiration behind my favorite games.

[@cellorosemusic12]

Same here!!!

[@SuperflyMiceguy]

The Temple of Time was such a cool place with an absolutely breathtaking theme. The devs knew this too, since when you revisit it in Twilight Princess they reuse the exact same theme for the beginning area of the Temple.

[@RachelRichards]

Most KZbin videos numb my mind, but your Zelda videos actually inspire creativity inside of me. Thank you.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😁

[@electricbluetiramisu3713]

So glad to see Temple of Time’s track get the attention it deserves. I will never forget the first time playing OoT when I entered that hallowed building, playing as a Catholic child the sense of holiness and reverence it inspired so unexpectedly was moving

[@livesinalazywonderland4021]

Been waiting for this series to continue. One of the best playlists on KZbin.

[@tails183]

Sometimes simple works best. I needed a church song for my DnD campaign and was looking all over for it. I eventually came across a half hour long version of a remix of this song. Yeah, hearing that while walking into a large basilica housing a dragon skeleton revered as a holy creature has an impact.

[@F-Lambda]

I don't suppose you still have a link?

[@shortgirlshorts]

I don't know if you are still reading comments these many months later, but I want you to know that I love these videos. OOT remains my favorite LOZ game. And you keep your videos engaging enough to keep my boys interested. And we have been studying music and music theory thanks to and with the help of your videos. So thank you for all the hard work you put in for us

[@elijahsly]

Well-researched, well-written, well-delivered. 7/10

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you 😂

[@annysummer1206]

So happy to see another one of these videos. This series is one of my personal favorites on this channel. I also really like the attention to some of the historical details regarding both the temple's design and the in game music. The parallels to churches and cathedrals for the temple are very fitting considering that in the German translation of the game (that being the version I grew up with) the temple of time is called the "citadel of time" The same goes for the song of time, with it being compared to hymns. Because once again, in the German translation the track is straight up called "the hymn of time" Really makes me appreciate and love the German translation even more. And massive props to the translators for putting in so much detail regarding architecture history. (I think at least. I'm not really into architecture)

[@SaveDataTeam]

Oh the German word choice is really cool!! Thank you for sharing that!

[@AnthonyCJW]

When I was in my early teenage years, this was one of the songs I used to play in order to help me get to sleep! The song of time, regardless of Chant or Ocarina form just holds a special place in my heart!

[@s.lajoie9961]

As someone who sings Gregorian chant every Sunday, this was well done! Thank you for taking the time to look into it as remains my favorite music to sing. One thing I love in the chant notation is that all of the notes are relative, so it is very easy to change the starting pitch to fit your group.

[@LoveCrumb]

The sound of Link's little footsteps tippy-tapping through the Temple of Time with the gorgeous melody in the backgroun....*chef's kiss* I LOVE these deep dives. It makes me appreciate the craft of this game even more.

[@THo44552]

I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO glad you're doing these again! I scream at people about this playlist if they even mention Legend of Zelda! Thanks for being you

[@kendrabaker4271]

[@JuliArtsy-u8i]

Alright the fact that they did their homework and made such a masterpiece of a soundtrack is comendable

[@KathrynBurke713]

I'm so happy to see you do another analysis video on Legend of Zelda music! I missed them! Also liked the background information on the church history and construction that influenced the Temple of Time environment design. If you do another one of these, I would LOVE it if you did an analysis of the soundtrack, Final Hours from Majora's Mask. It's so beautifully haunting, that I would love to hear what makes it tick and why it works so well.

[@nellynavarretevalle]

Aside from the fact that domes were actually rediscovered back in the Early/High Renaissance period by Brunelleschi, most of the history research for this video is spot on! Really appreciate the beauty of the Legend of Zelda looking at it from a deeper, historical perspective :D

[@whoneedstosleep]

Fingers crossed for those big numbies because I'd love to see more video essays in the future! I learned a fair bit about the history of the Catholic Church, music, and architecture, which I didn't expect from today but am quite delighted by!

I just found this channel after clicking on a video "Why the Stone Tower Temple Is So Iconic". I love the dungeon music analysis videos as they combine both history, culture, and music! Are you going to make more video essays on dungeons in the Windwaker or maybe Tears of the Kingdom?

[@yungmeesie]

i love these type of videos, especially the extra attention to detail and history :)

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you! 😁

[@Lucernare]

Early Christian churches didn’t have seats or pews. They came in during the 16th century. Go into most Orthodox churches today and they don’t have pews. So the layout of the Temple of Time resembles a church more than most actual churches!

[@Morgil27]

I would love to see an actual modern-day gregorian choir sing this song.

[@SkyfoxDartner]

This theme holds so much for me personally. It would always be the very first thing I’d heard booting up the game after a long week. I played this game for an incredibly long time on my first experience and as such, this theme got essentially engraved in my brain and I look back at it with a feeling of nostalgia, and eagerness to get back into the world of Hyrule to see what I could complete.

[@inscription8099]

I implore you to find Rebecca Tripps version on youtube, it's absolutely stunning

[@Montgomery0121]

I marathoned your entire Dungeon Music Analysis playlist in preparation for this video, and I love how professional they are, and how much research went into all of them. You did a great job with this series, and I'd love to see more someday.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Thank you so much!

[@finleygrabe8722]

first time I had use of my knowledge about Gregorian Chorals from school, very well done

[@VultureSausage]

I've always considered the Song of Time to be the best song in Ocarina of Time, which considering OoT is a frequent competitor for "GOAT video game soundtrack" is pretty much the highest possible praise. Song of Storms and the Gerudo Valley theme tend to be more popular in my experience, but neither of them are so intrinsically linked to what's actually going on in the game when they show up the same way the Song of Time is. Anyone unfamiliar with Song of Storms and Gerudo Valley wouldn't be able to understand where or when they show up in the game, but anyone even a little familiar with (western) music would immediately pick up that the Song of Time is meant to evoke sacral music. If there were a Nobel prize for music, Kondo should have received it for the OoT soundtrack several times over. The man really is the John Williams of video game music.

[@tylerthepianoman4686]

I love these videos. I've watched each one multiple times! Looking forward to the next one (fingers crossed there will be more). One quick thing though, at 15:56 the note shows a "C" but a "D" is heard. That note matches the last note in pitch but is written differently. No big deal, just thought I'd mention it in case it confused anybody. Once again, love the content! I wish this series and your channel success!

[@sarahspeedrun6419]

I was looking for this lmao.

[@Nidhogg13]

I have loved the sound of Gregorian chanting ever since I was a little kid. I would walk slowly through the temple of time to listen to it any time I was there.

[@vaughnhaney7020]

I hope you continue this series! I'd love to see you expand into other Zelda games as well :)

[@SaveDataTeam]

That's the plan, it just becomes an issue with figuring out a way to break the pieces apart sound by sound. But I'm sure I can find a way.

[@kevinw6814]

This video is impressive and humbling. I was just talking to someone earlier tonight about various Zelda lore/theory channels and how curious they make me regarding what kind of fruit such dedication, memorization, and passion would bear if it were poured into reading/studying and interpreting the Bible instead of lore/theory videos about a video game. And here your video shows up to bridge the gap between the two.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Oh that’s awesome! 😁 thanks for the kind words!

[@Xorcrupt]

Small correction at 12:47 (apologies if others have already pointed this out). Time signatures don't indicate the tempo, they merely indicate the number of beats per measure, and the length value of each beat. The tempo is however indicated just above the time signature. In the case of your example, using the phrase "Allegro moderato," which suggests a moderately brisk tempo (anywhere from 96-120 bpm). Some sheet music may specify the exact bpm (beats per minute) if the composer wants. That aside, stellar content! I love music analyses like this.

[@andrewgbilt9894]

My favourite style of video here, hope the series continues :)

[@SaveDataTeam]

It will!

[@aristellaikuden1375]

Love this series, I hope it continues to cover more Zelda songs. In particular could you cover the song of healing sometime in the near future. Being a small song maybe you can do a video covering it with some other smaller tunes to make a full video if there's just not enough to talk about. But I do love learning not just about the music but the culture behind the settings and history that you provide.

[@pyro380]

As a kid my mind would go wild while listening to this game's soundtrack. This particular track always made me think of the middle ages where monks are singing gregorian chants in a mysterious castle that might be otherworldly or exist outside time and space. It's really hard to put into words but it still transports me far away from daily life and the current moment.

[@margothutton]

"Y'all heareth this sh*t?" I was going to give the video a like regardless, but this was the moment I remembered to do so.

[@hedgehogsonic11]

Two minor things, it’s important to keep in mind that this history of sheet music is exclusive to the western world, while many cultures were using rote memorization, China among other cultures had notation long before d'Arezzo's markings. Additionally, the u in numes is a long u (eww) and my choral teacher will never let me forget that Phenomenal video, however, excited to see the series I first saw from you guys return

[@blueshoals]

7:12 My own personal theory-- though I have no solid evidence to back it up-- is: When The Three Goddesses left Hyrule, the exact geographical location of their departure became sanctified as THE entrance to the Sacred Realm. The Master Sword was placed there to seal the entrance to The Sacred Realm with magic, and The Temple of Time was built AROUND The Master Sword-- and thus the entrance to the Sacred Realm. Also, I could listen to my fellow nerds expand, expound, elaborate, elucidate, and explicate about nerd culture for HOURS. ESPECIALLY when it comes to music. I hope you keep making more content like this! It's as precious as gold, and I share it with my friends whenever I have even the tiniest excuse!

[@littlebigb5370]

I think what makes it so atmospheric is how alive it feels in the world. All the other tracks in the game feels like music played for our benefit. Good music, but not authentic to the world. This feels like Link actually stumbled into the middle of some religious gathering taking place somewhere just out of vision; and the choir is telling him that he's both welcome to stay while also supposed to stay humbled while inside.

The temple of time was the first moment in my life where the music of a game made me stop dead in my tracks. It was so incredible and atmospheric that it really opened up a love for video game music. It was the first moment as a child where I was so moved by a piece of music. I would often come back to the temple of time just to listen to it. That moment opened up a whole new part of my life and i dont know if I would appreciate game music the same way now if not for that experience.
