Wind waker was already nostalgic but the fact that dragon roost island is in colgera’s theme will make this super nostalgic in a decade

Colgera was the most cinematic boss fight, in my opinion. It was so much fun to glide and avoid the tornadoes, while also diving into its weak points!

Still sends chills through me

Send shivers down my spine body aching all the time

Is nobody gonna mention Colgera itself is a throwback to Molgera? Just the name alone gave me chills already

I’ve never even played wind water and I recognized this as soon as I heard it. The wind temple is just awesome man

I never played through Wind Waker but the Rito Village theme in TotK feels warm cosy and deeply nostalgic.

Colgara could’ve been the greatest boss fight of all time had they just made it longer

One thing I have always loved about the Zelda games is that not only do they create new songs, they find ways to hide old songs into them. It just makes everything so much better

Colgeras whole fight sequence was incredible. No boss felt as epic as that one

chills. literal chills.❄

I’ve never played any zelda games other than botw and totk, but hearing colgera’s theme sent shivers down my spine yet made my heart warm at the same time. Nintendo knew what they were doing

It's not just that they worked Dragon Roost Island's leitmotif into this that makes it so great (though I do love that), it's how POWERFUL it sounds with the choir/flute combo! Absolutely superb arrangement.

How did I not realize that the dragon roost island theme was rito village’s theme. I had to hum the theme of both just to notice

this entire sequence was like a kiss on a cheek and a punch in the gut from nostalgia thank/screw you nintendo

from tulins gust of wind, you look at the cartoonish fog, and see a familiar hero of the wind.

I was high as fuck when I first went through the Wind Temple and fought Colgera. Was an extremely emotional experience for me

For the FIRST time? Boi I STILL cry, and I never even PLAYED WIndwaker!!

I still get shivers down my spine in so many different songs, and story bits of this game. They knew what they were doing

I wasn't an og so I never played wind waker but this reminded me of the botw rito village theme cuz botw was my first ever zelda game

Wind Waker was the first Zelda game I ever played, and also first one I ever completed. And Dragon’s roost was by far my fav song so having this motif return just made the battle feel absolutely freaking epic!

What made me finally accept Tears of the Kingdom and the BotW trilogy into my heart... Was this. ESPECIALLY Colgera. How pretty much my favorite bosses were easter eggs in the game

Everyone had their guard off on this one

I didn't play WW but this theme is just still so amazing

I cried a lot playing this game. I was a kid again and all the time playing Zelda with my older brothers was back in my heart and I loved it

I love it when series like Zelda do these kind of things. Really adds the atmosphere of series' history, both in-game and reality.

It made me SO nostalgic and now Nintendo needs to release Windwaker onto Switch cuz now I need to play it again after 10 years

I paused the game, laid down on the floor and started to cry

I used to have a wii u where i ALWAYS used to play wind waker, eventually i sold it and all my games to buy a switch, hearing colgeras theme LEGITAMETALEELALLELY MADE ME ALMOST CRY. Wind temple was by far the best temple in totk imo

I ascended while litsening to this.

When I first fought the Colgera and heard that motif in it’s theme, the nostalgia of watching my older brother play Wind Waker flooded back to me hit hit me like a truck.

Every time i hear that after having realised where that part came from is giving me goosebumps

Colgera was where I went "oh damn this ain't BotW anymore," it just felt like a step up. The bombastic Wind Waker references really added to that I think. It was the first main boss I did, definitely my favorite

Interesting Video! I didn't even realize it until now.

I love this theme!! Even tho it’s from a different game I can’t help but get emotional nostalgia when I do anything with the Rito now!❤

This is the best nostalgia hit I've been given in a game in years it was SO GOOD. I love this boss, I wish it was a bit harder or longer but it's still my favourite in the whole game, it's so cinematic and THIS SONG IS THE BEST SONG IN THE WHOLE GAME

everytime i watch this video it just give me goosebumps and flood of good memories

It’s like going back to your childhood home after being away for years

Colgera was my first boss fight and it was easily my favorite so far. I still haven't finished the game i've done gotten the 4 champions. i also fought colgera a second time underground, which is nuts! i about teared up hearing dragon roost. my chat was like "yo is he crying" over on twitch lmao

WW undoubtedly best Zelda game in my opinion that song made me tear Playing colgera for the first time

I had to pause during this fight bc I cried hearing this song play. Genuinely love when music in games have leitmotifs like that, especially when they call back to older games within the series.

My first Zelda game was Wind Waker, so this perfectly describes my reaction to when I first heard the Totk Colgera theme

I've honestly never played windwaker, terrible I know, but this theme still hit me like a deadly nadder on chicken. Like you can probably tell I was a massive how to train your dragon fan when I was younger, and this theme has the exact same feel as THE theme from HTTYD. You know the one. Both of these of a sort of lost blaze of glory feel to them, it's so bloody majestic.

I still get goosebumps from this and I’ve heard it a thousand times

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THIS THANK YOU FOR REVEALING ITS TRUE MEANING I KNOW UNDERSTAND WHY I KEEP SEEING VIDEOS LIKE THIS

Colgera is definitely my favourite boss battle and the theme is so good!!!! ✨💫⭐️🌟

favorite boss in the game. First temple I went to. Seriously the build up to reaching the temple, diving into the storm itself and facing this beast was a big highlight of the game. Favorite boss, dungeon, and just about perfect.

literally almost cried tears because of that.

Everytime i hear this i get chills everywhere on my body

The fact that Dragon Roost Island is my favorite Zelda song, makes this theme SSSSSSS Tier

I cried more than once playing with headphones on at high volume

I'm criying bro

Breath of the wild was my first Zelda game and I haven’t even played Wind Waker yet that feeling of epicness still comes to me

glad they added the flutes!

Botw and totk’s music feels like the best part of the game sometimes. It adds SO MUCH to the action sequences omg. I’m super late to the party cuz I played botw only a few months ago and I WISH I played it on release and it’s the best experience I’ve had in a game in so long.

This song is truly beautiful, it really illustrates a hero fighting a gigantic monster, but it also makes you feel like the heros of the past are by your side, giving it their all to defeat the curse left on hyrule, providing aid when needed from the experienced they claimed from their journeys. It truly is beautiful, and is, in my opinion, the most impactful song in the whole game.

I do love the callbacks to The Wind Waker in Tears of the Kingdom, and the Rito quest being where the WW references are clearly the heaviest, made this feel like THE climactic battle, not merely one of four chapter bosses. Part of me wishes that all of the Rito-related stories could have been somehow been sequestered away from the TotK main quest, fleshed out more, and showed up as a separate item on the main menu screen.

As for wind waker being my all time favorite game, I agree. The boss fights in both games were my favorite bosses in both games

My heart when I was heading to this temple. Mid stream I began putting 2 and 2 together. Boats wind etc. Then Colgeras theme played dragon roost and I cried

THIS IS DEFINETLY NOSTALGIC

Seeing one of these flying around in the depths was fucking terrifying.

i honestly mourn for the people who waited to get into zelda with botw. as a die-hard zelda fan this was soul changing in game. i think i musta gotten there day of or after release(i lined up early to get it and avoided spoilers like the plauge) and GOD. windwaker came out less than a year after I was born and was decently big when I got into gaming and zelda. I watched attackingtucans lets play it. i memorized lyrics to this theme. playing totk and botw felt like coming home to a world I know like the back of my hand. This theme was like hearing the game SAY "Welcome back hero, I remember you too." but also in the middle of that boss (esp as the FIRST boss if you do em in order) hit SO hard.

I liked 0:11

I fought this boss first. Never even heard it in the fight. Damn this is great

I've played every zelda game but when i heard colgera's theme i shed a tear

didja know that it also plays the dragon roost island theme in rito village? its in both games and even when its covered in snow

I leggit cry was so nostalgic i grew up with tloz wwk and this theme hit right in the feelings

Seeing as that leitmotif basically represents the Rito I think it’s awesome it plays here and I like to think it’s like all the Rito people are praying for your victory since their survival basically depends on it

And it still makes me tear up.

I remember the first time i played totk, and i was hearing all those bangers, when i got to this one i just paused and called my friend we got hyped

I have to admit that I legitimately cried during this part of the boss battle... I wasn't prepared. I heard that Dragon Roost motif and just set the controller down.

Whats crazy is I didn't even play wind waker but when the theme started i for some reason felt nostalgic.

As someone whose first Zelda game WAS Wind Waker, this theme is extremely nostalgic for me. It takes me back to when I was just a kid, knew nothing about Zelda, and I was making my way through Dragon Roost Island with absolutely no clue what I was doing but loving every second of it. I love this theme!

Imagine Standing on a hill looking out in the ocean and this part comes on while you're hit with a gust of wind

This is what made the Colgera boss fight so goddamn cool for me. Well, that and it was my first one in the game. Yeah, the fight is pretty easy, but hearing the Dragon Roost Island music from Wind Waker playing in the background made it feel like you were fighting alongside the souls of the Rito people who had been terrorized by this damn monster.

this song makes me cryyy 😭😭😭 such a good game

This track got the whole kingdom in tears

I noticed the connection the moment I heard that part, I was jumping around when I first heard it

I mainly played the Wind Waker demo on the Zelda collectors edition disc and I also haven’t played TotK yet I only watched some let’s plays and this theme just sent me back in time!!! Nintendo is something else bro!!!

This sums it up better than any words ever could

Fight on! The Hero of Winds is with you!

I always loved when they did this with the music. I always tie memories to songs so when I hear them again in newer games it brings a wave of nostalgia. Sometimes bringing me to tears

this actually gave me chills

Every single totk piece sends chills down my spine.

I was so hyped during this fight when I heard the callbacks

Also when the towers are about to throw you the music tht sounds is identically to the wind waker throwing barrel link

I just noticed something TotK: Wind Temple Colgera WindWaker: Wind Temple Molgera

i didn’t even play wind waker and this song brings back so much nostalgia, it’s like a reminder that this is still link even though the games are so different

This song socked me in the gut so hard that I couldn't close my mouth throughout the entire boss fight😤😤😤😤😤

I feel nostalgic for the older games and I never even played them I wasn’t even born yet I’m only 14 but Zelda games are just that good

i beat the whole game and my favourite boss + "dungeon" is STILL colgera. what an amazing start

Ive bever played wind waker, bit that part still brought tears to my eyes and made me have to pause.

A callback to the best Zelda out there

bro wind waker was my first zelda game, when i recognized that melody it sent chills down my spine and i almost cried of nostalgia, really beautiful game.

colgera theme never fails to give my goosebumps god DAMN

I haven’t even played Windermere and I’m feeling nostalgic😭

I wish I knew ahead of time that the entire Rito Phenomena questline, the first major questline that I did in my blind day one playthrough, was actually the best part of the entire game. I would've tried to savor it a lot more.

it's almost... chilling.

This is the most relatable thing I’ve seen ever

Hearing it for the first time was like hearing the waker game say “I’m not done yet”
