[@markamanic]

I had that when Dragon Roost started playing in Rito Village. stopped me dead in my tracks

[@AnaiTelletxeaAguilera]

My favourite musical reference in BotW is how each race or tribe has his own kind of instrument(s). Rito’s instrument are the clarinet, which has a big solo in the Rito Village theme, and the accordion, very important in Kass’ and Revali’s themes. Other kind of woodwind instruments, such as the flute, are quite relevant in other themes of this race. Gerudo’s instrument is a kind of zither, which is present in different places of the Gerudo Desert and Urbosa’s and Riju’s themes among others. In general, string instruments have been very attached to this tribe in different games. Goron’s instruments are brass instruments, which can be heard in the Death Mountain and Daruk’s and Yunobo’s themes. Finally, Zora’s instrument is the synthesizer, followed by the piano, which is very important all over the OST, but has a special meaning in Sidon’s and Mipha’s themes. All this is summarised in Tarrey Town’s theme. When the Goron comes, a trombone solo appears. So does the zither with the Gerudo, the clarinet with the Rito and the guitar with a different rythm (instead of the synth) with the Zora. I hope I am not the only one who has noticed this!

Can there be one fairy in the Kokiri Forest that when you catch it you hear a faint "Hey!" That's all I ask in BOTW2. Thank you.

[@comebackkid1007]

Make sure it's When you're in the lost woods, for that is where OOT Link thought where "they" went after their adventure together, then let them be the only fairy there, showing that she is still there, even though link couldn't find his friend, she is still there, waiting for him... It could be linked with a quest granted when a korok sees link in their "of the wild tunic", The Lone Fey. A conclusion to this fairys long wait, seeing her friend (or at least his spirit) one last time before fading. I could see it go like this. A korok is getting annoyed by a single stray fairy wondering the lost woods, tasking link to find it, when you do, you see it wondering aimlessly saying "hey" in a desparate tone, then it notices you, you then see a drop of water fall from the fairy, it rushes in and goes into you like a spirit orb, then a text box says "You feel a sudden saddness, but now you feel whole." filling your HP. Quest over.

I personally love the music of Breath of the Wild. People don’t realize how much it helps the setting of the game. If it was loud like other games, it wouldn’t work with the nature of the game. And there are still some great themes in the game that aren’t scattered. Tarrey town, hateno village, Gerudo Town, Kakariko Village. They are all great themes, and the theme for hyrule castle is great too.

[@yeneyevramirez]

Completely agree! I was bummed when people complained about the music. I know it’s a big departure from previous games but I thought it fit beautifully and really is immersive.

[@tfirehead]

[@lincolnlogsforleeches1422]

The champion's themes all are bold and loud but don't lose their personalities

[@dayshallcomeagain]

How they put Epona's Song into breath of the wild has to be one of my favorite Zelda references in the game. Not only does it bring a lot of nostalgia, it actually fits in the overall world. Seeing Kass play it at the stables fits perfectly with the overall atmosphere, bringing a feeling of warmth, comfort, and safety. I wouldn't be surprised if Epona's Song would become a popular folk song in later years, even all the way down to Breath of the Wild.

[@Chubby_Bub]

Thanks for making this video. Breath of the Wild has a great soundtrack and I love all the references they included. Here are a few more you left out: -Something the composers confirmed in a really neat interview, not only are Sidon and Mipha's themes very similar, but they use different scales- Mi and Fa for Mipha and Ti and Do for Sidon (his Japanese name is Shido)! Their themes are also incorporated into Attack on Vah Ruta. -They also mentioned that the phrase used in the Divine Beasts Attack is also used in one of the DLC memories and the theme for King Rhoam's flashback. In the latter you can also hear parts of Zelda's Lullaby, the main theme, Ganon's theme, the Guardian theme, and Castle Town Ruins. -A more obvious one, Zora's Domain is a remix of the same theme from Ocarina of Time. -The four Blight Ganons all share the same theme, but use different instruments and backing fit for each champion. Calamity Ganon's battle theme is also a fully orchestrated, dramatic version of the same theme. -As you build Tarrey Town, the music adds leitmotifs related to the theme of each town the others came from. -Speaking of which, the Rito have a little leitmotif in their tracks- it’s present in Rito Village, Revali's Theme, and Attack on Vah Medoh. -Lastly, just a fact I think is neat. One of the composers for this game was Manaka Kataoka. She wrote some of the really epic themes, like the battle themes for the Guardian and Talus. But she also wrote the title theme for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which I think is a really funny contrast.

[@morningdirge]

5:26 These literally blew my mind dude. I love Fi as a character and her theme is almost iconic to me, so to see the song used in not one, but three different places to represent the Master Sword it just so cool to me!

[@Bee-N64]

The sound design in the game is genuinely unparalleled, and every song in game is well suited, well utilized and fantastic pieces of music in their own rights. HOWEVER, I still do wish there was more emphasis on grander, iconic themes. I think given everything they've learned from his game, the sequel will take a huge leap in that direction.

[@SoftServed-qe3zp]

I remember talking to kass at the Rito stable he actually mentions that the song he plays is the song that the ancient hero used to call his horse I don't know if this is referencing the hero of time or the hero 10,000 years ago (or possibly both) but its interesting nonetheless

[@Grellic]

I'll admit I've never played Skyward Sword but hearing Fi's theme legit makes me emotional! The version of her theme that plays when her and Link part ways (I think it's called Fi's Farewell) is SO good. Now that you mentioned Fi, I'd really love to see her make an appearance in BoTW2... Perhaps even having a role in the sequel o:

[@TimothyCWood]

Here's one: one of the Gorons in the mining camp on the way to Goron City hums something suspiciously close to Totaka's Theme.

[@akid648]

Anyone else hear 'in the bleak midwinter' in the opening segment of the theme. Literally takes me back to being a young link in the days

[@melissad4976]

You're definitely right about how calming the music is at the stables - I've dozed off while standing around them! (Or maybe I was just tired from those long hours of climbing everything?)

[@ezachleewright2309]

Oath to Order was my favorite Majora's Mask Song but Sonata of Awakening definitely gave it a run for its money

[@jcg7609]

Are you ever doing a video ranking all incarnations of Princess Zelda I know it's a matter of time until botw2 comes out but I really want to see this

[@IggysEden]

Internet: Breath of the Wilds music sucks! Me: shows them this video

[@Silphiroth]

Don't get me wrong, BotW has awesome music - I just dont listen to it actively like the music in other titles of the franchise. But I have to say that making some tracks only recognizable to an old song by speeding it up or slowing down and even then only with a lot of phantasie.....not an argument for good music imo. More like easter eggs that are pointless as you dont notice them while playing (not speaking of obvious things like stable theme)

[@1Shuckle]

I don’t know if you already mentioned this one but, when you play the hyrule field theme reversed and sped up it’s zelda’s lullaby

[@benjaminhammel2520]

I was really hoping you would mention the Malanya theme when you were talking about the stable themes, It's such a good song and reference altogether!

[@Brando2301]

Use me as a "I didn't know Forest Haven was the Kokiri Forest music" button.

[@zendrada3662]

my favorite is always the bit of clocktown that plays on the mountain peaks and high places

[@luigiboi4244]

One of my favorite features of Breath of the Wild has to be the music. So much care and love went into the soundtrack, and it just sounds (chef’s kiss) PERFECT!

[@desmondschneider5397]

After playing Hyrule Warriors and watching Skyward Sword, I noticed the guidance stone one in my game or maybe just randomly. But it’s also the same theme as get master sword! Chest theme, then key item sound. Also, it is complete! The Sheikah sound on the map is the key item sound! Nintendo really loves adding those details.

[@mae3002]

Gotta say I'm really loving the new black transition animations, very subtle but adds such production value to your videos. Love your content~!

[@stormcloudzz_]

I'm not sure if people know this, but I think its cool.. I found a video showing all four divine beasts theme songs and within them are beeps that clearly spell out S-O-S in Morse Code within the themes, which I think is both sad and an interesting detail. Mipha's is obvious from the start as she doesn't seem to be too much of a fighter, Daruk's is faint but still there, maybe trying not to worry the others. Meanwhile Urbosa's comes in later as she fights but then realises she needs help, and Revali's also comes in later on, but is rushed once he has to swallow his pride and call for help.

*Obvious reference plays with exact same tempo and chord structure* Zeltik: I cAn'T tElL iF iT's InTeNtIoNaL

[@tabithajones9333]

One thing I noticed is that the theme that plays when a Sheikah Tower is near is a broken slow version of the Dark World theme in A Link to the Past

[@supagirl277]

I literally listen to this music all the time when going to bed. It is so interesting to hear all of this info about it. BOTW is my first Zelda game

[@aSHTEBALA]

I was hoping you’d mention this one: The soundtrack you play at 3:03 is a reference to the dark world theme from a link to the past which happens when you climb a tower

[@kutulukutu]

My favorite is definitely Death Mountain. Hearing the original level 9 Death Mountain theme played so gently and subtly is just perfect.

[@albertogestosoarce2108]

For me, one of your best videos ever... and all your Zelda videos are great. Thanks

[@audiate2293]

My personal favorite reference actually hides in the main theme of Breath of the Wild itself. If you listen to the music closely, you can hear that it is a deconstruction of the Legend of Zelda series (which has a ton of programmatic uses i.e. showing the decimation of Hyrule). This is most evident in the last thirty seconds of the song with the upward crescendo right before the climax of the piece.

[@Somelunatic]

Hearing the wind waker music makes me so nostalgic, wind waker was the first Zelda game I have ever played and I loved it

[@PileOfLeafes]

I would pay good money to hear your voice just narrate a zelda story or a podcast or something like that. Listening to you just puts me at ease every time to the point that I listen to your videos to fall asleep to

[@pruppe83]

Can't believe you only gave the house theme like 3 seconds at superspeed. That track is incredible and so suspenseful and rewarding to listen to
