I know! That’s one of my favorite things about this game’s score and I was shocked it wasn’t mentioned in the video! It’s all so brilliant though

wow!

That’s so cool!!

i could tell it changed, but it felt like something was added, not subtracted. interesting.

I just learned this from someone's retrospective can't remember the channel...

me, up at 4am unable to sleep because Omicron: :|

@@BluePandada hope you get better soon 🙏🏾

It’s so cool to see you watching these videos! You’re a huge inspiration for my own music

@@AlexMoukalaMusic already on the mend! thank you :)

I never had COVID so to me it's not really true.

Oh, I immediately remembered what you're talking about. This game has such beautiful examples of themes melding together that sometimes I'll get one stuck in my mind and it'll slowly evolve into others.

Yeah the music over the end credits is absolute perfection

Dude me too. You just can't help feeling proud of Link in that moment. He fights the king of evil, forces the gods to recognize him as a hero despite not being descended from the Hero of Time, dredges the Triforce up from the ocean floor, and winds up saving the world, and that moment during the end credits reminds you why he did it: It wasn't his destiny. He just wanted to save his little sister, and saw it through to the end.

This is the best soundtrack of all time.

Based.

He also missed the Kokiri callback at 8:30. He typeset it in the top line. It's right there. How he didn't mention it I have no idea.

anyone who says they think one soundtrack is the "greatest" of all time (as if they're comparable), doesn't have a very based opinion imo

The Wind Waker credits music absolutely destroys me for this very reason - like ALL of these themes should not go as well together when mashed up as they do

I didn't notice it until I saw a comment on PPF's cover of the song.

Same. I knew the Forest Haven music was a slowed down version of Kokiri Forest, but I never realized the Kokiri motif also showed up in Outset

there’s a similar thing with the windfall island/kakariko village theme too

@@henrypowell3708 Now that I think about it… Dragon Roost’s Theme might possibly dance around Level 9’s/Death Mountain’s Theme from Zelda1. Obviously it’s more melodious and also takes inspiration from Peruvian Music…but if someone has transcriptions of both themes it’s probably doing a similar thing as Aryll’s Theme referencing Zelda’s Theme while also having its own identity (and the callback to Kokiri Forest in Outset’s Theme) Which makes sense: Windfall is the major settlement set near an active volcano, Dragonroost is heavily implied to be either Death Mountain itself or a new volcanic mountain that formed over the same Magma Zone (with Firemountain being another chimney but secondary/where most of the magma is active now, similarly to how Hawaii and other volcanic island chains formed along the Ring of Fire.)

That’s who music is really written for! All this work goes on behind the curtain so the listener will feel what the composer is going for

This was just uploaded a minute ago you liar

@@seronymus did you read the comment? Lol

Comparing Dragon Roost theme ans its rearrangement for Rito Village in Breath of the Wild would be awesome ^^

@@cocogrimpret7599 Yes, I would love to see that! It honestly made me so emotional when I was plating BOTW and heard the Rito Village theme for the first time. It was a wonderful surprise to once again be welcomed with the same theme, but in a very different way.

On that note… I literally just realized that Dragonroost does something similar with Level9/Death Mountain’s Theme as do Aryll/Zelda and Outset/Kokiri (and Windfall/Kakariko and Forest Haven/Kokiri, but those are far more known.) -also yes. yes I am absolutely Giddy to Finally have this video after perioducally commenting for 8bitmusictherory to cover it for Years-literally since he first dropped his first video covering zelda music…aND I WAS RIGHT!!!! If anyone’s curious, Ballad of the Windfish/Oracles!Zelda and Tetra&Sheik/Zelda also do the same thing with eachother as Aryll/Zelda. And ofc they all have similarities as being NotZelda/Zelda or HiddenZelda/Zelda as well narratively…which after I realized the similarities between the Aryll, Tetra, and Zelda themes, I started relistening to Ballad of the Windfish and Sheik’s Theme to see if something similar was happening/

Link’s Awakening, Windwaker, and Link Between Worlds is Zelda Music at its best. It’s not about Big Bombastic Music or New Musical Technology -why BotW is appropriate, especially in its own context- it’s about taking simple motifs and molding them. (Why LttP’s 16bit music is a literal headache, and OoT’s Hyrule Field is by FAR the worst version in the entire franchise.)

I can not be disappointed with great content like that. But good you brought it up, because I wasn't aware - of any of it. So I'm going to have a great time finally revisiting the game some time future :)

I feel like the staff roll theme deserves a video on its own

Forest Haven's theme itself is just a really slow version of Kokiri Forest with little bits of lost woods.

Zelda’s Theme is also hidden in Aryll’s Theme. It’s not just the similar intervals and motion, Zelda’s Theme is literally hidden in the offbeats that are more “ornamentational” in Aryll’s Theme! And something similar happens in Tetra’s Theme: only, take out the Piratey Ornamentations, and you’re now looking at Zelda’s Core Theme used since LttP -and is still danced around in Oracles Linked but Oracles Linked is by far the biggest separation from the Staple Theme. It’s further removed than Marin’s Ballad of the Windfish as another “Not Zelda”. Still beautiful, tho, and props to the capcom composer for playing with it musically- And the entire franchise is chock FULL of reuses and reimaginings and callbacks-made-their-own. Zelda Music at its best is NOT big bombastic fanfairs. It’s simple motifs like Aryll’s Theme used for So Many Layers of storytelling while still being malleable and distinctive in their own right-The Great Sea is a version of the Hero Theme, yet the REAL Hero Theme Motif is in ARYLL’S Theme (that ascending motif at the end), and THAT is what is used to represent Link in cutscenes and pivotal moments, not the Great Sea

@@anonymousfellow8879 Ah ye, the hero motive in Aryls theme is a nice link (heh)

@LonerlRelnol @LonerlRelnol Oh yeah, I can confirm that Windfall Island is an arrangement of Kakariko. Also, the Forest Haven features ANOTHER arrangement of the Kokiri Village theme. There are more obvious ones, too. The trip down to Old Hyrule beneath the ocean has a lot of musical Link to the Past nostalgia -- particularly the opening harp number to LTTP when the Triforce is reassembled.
