Attacking Vah Medoh Music is AWESOME | Road to Rito Pt 2 

Here is the reminder that you are awesome can't watch now but you are usually killing it and I hope that you have a great day

I've always loved to watch music theory videos. I've also always loved Zelda, particularly BotW/TotK. So your channel brings together both worlds in an awesome way

2:26 that zelda 3 dungeon chord progession in a way.

Do I know music theory? No. Do I watch every video in this series half confused but happy to be here? You bet!! Great stuff as always!

8:12 I laughed when this popped up bc I’ve been listening to a fusion arrangement of this song so much over the last few weeks

I didn’t remember the Attacking Vah Medoh theme when I played TotK but I’m now realizing that the wind temple theme is almost identical to it. Awesome reference! Wonder if the other temples follow a similar pattern

Oh boy. Get ready for a doozy of a video for Wind Temple. This one was also an amazing video! Thanks for such hard effort Kevin!

I love ur vids so much! As a Zelda fan and a pianist for 6 years it’s really cool to see your channel grow

As a huge Zelda fan and musician, I've been watching your videos all morning. I subbed! ;-)

Brilliant method breaking down these tunes in this order. I can listen to these, continue to beat totk and not have to worry about spoilers. Plus i wanted to just soak up the Rito scenery a bit after the temple. Keep em coming!

Oh no the video was way to short 😭😂 Cool breakdown, never would have guessed that Rito village has a James Bond easter egg!!! In all seriousness though, when you asked wether the Rito village theme references Revalis theme, or the other way around i think thats literally the chicken or the egg question (pun intended), because Revali is a Rito, so it would make sense that his theme references his hometown, but since he the hero of his village, to whom every child looks up to and who has a plaza named after him in-game, it would also make sense for the Rito village theme to reference his theme, for him being so influencial and inspiring to them.

Another track I really liked was Gloom'ed Korok Forest. Be interesting to hear your take on that version.

I appreciate that you wrote down the chords, it lets me play along and experiment with the sounds.

The "pause for effect" is one of my favorite parts 😂 I love that you're really honest and your videos are just so real 😁

Attack on Vah Medoh is one of my botw favorites, I recommend listening to the Vah Medoh theme from Age of Calamity!

there are lots of moments in this track that remind me of harry potter and / or star wars haha I love it!!

After you mentioned the FF lick, when it got to the B flat dim7, I heard echoes of battle music from FF4.

I love how I‘ve been „wrong“ about the Amin arp being an influence from the Blizzeta theme, rather than Attack on Vah Medoh (which I had forgotten how AMAZING it is). it still might be a small reference, as the ice area themeing and the feel of the arp remind me of Twilight Princess

Wow you're a nerd. Awesome!! It's hard to find others as obsessed with the music of Zelda as me on this site!! Love the content!

The Rito always have the best music

At 0:55 roughly while played on the piano, it sounds extremely similar to OoT's intro, the first like four notes as you boot up the game. Just I'm assuming pitched down slightly. I'm unsure if the OoT intro is A Minor, or not you'll have to correct me on this. But I have noticed even in-game (Granted I play with low music, but I have really good hearing, to the point where I can track people's location by their footsteps in Apex Legends, in this is off topic.) Point is, Vah Medoh's beginning notes I'm assuming are reminiscing OoT's intro with that beginning cord progression. Beautiful. Also is Koji Kondo still the Musical genius of the Zelda franchise or has that Chair been taken by a new "King of Hyrule" if you will in terms of the OST?

My knowledge of music theory is zero-adjacent, so augmented diminished minor major flat five is just a bunch a words. That said, something about some of the .. arpeggiated(?) chords sounds a lot to me like it follows a similar pattern to the dungeon themes of the original LoZ. Maybe that’s just the result of “yeah; it’s an arpeggio. They sound like that.” IDK.

Attacking Vah Medoh is fine and all, but Attacking Vah Ruta is the real gem.

what botw/totk location would you say has the most musical references?

This is entirely unrelated to the content of the video, but I just noticed a cool musical “reference” to Zelda in other media (probably not but it’s still cool). In the story trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man 2 game (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgqGdIoa52s.html), there’s a sort of musical motif throughout that sounds *very* similar to A Link to The Past’s opening

Hows he get all that from 2 seconds???????
