nintendo: thank you for playing!! link: *half-naked and heavy breathing after beating a spider-guardian ganon and a ginormous cyclops warthog with just 3 tree branches and 4 arrows left in his inventory* 👁👄👁
Those two games are the best Nintendo has ever done. They will be remembered no matter how much time passes by... that's the destiny of maserpieces. By the way, BOTW and Galaxy are my favourite games of all time ;)
Compared to other Zelda games, where they resolved stuff during the credits, this is nothing. Especially Twilight Princess, where they stop the credits to show you a rather sad goodbye.
@@petery6432 Oh true, Twilight Princess' credits were heartbreaking. But BotW's credits make you think about the journey it took you to get there and make you think "Wow, I'll never experience this game for the first time again". But yeah I do agree that Twilight Princess' credits were far more emotional
0:00 The Legend of Zelda Main Theme 0:34 Kakariko Village Theme 1:41 Daruk's Theme 2:48 Mipha's Theme 4:09 Urbosa's Theme 5:24 Revali's Theme 6:43 Breath of the Wild Theme -This was mostly for me just in case I felt like hearing a certain theme out of pure laziness
Hayden Bixby I honestly really like credit themes that are medleys of tracks from the game. Not every credit sequence has to be original tracks entirely.
When u beat the game and your just waiting for the breath of the wild theme to play but u have listen to all of this first and it just wastes your time so you just skip it Happens to me
I have a personal connection to this game. My grandpa and grandma bought it for my 21st birthday and BotW was my first Zelda game, WHAT AN ADVENTURE!! Since me and my grandma share a birthday together, I spent 4 days with them and my aunt, uncle, cousins, and dad. I gathered them all together after a year it took me to watch me finish the game. After freeing the Divine Beasts, doing all the side quests, shrine quest, and main quest, finding ALL 900 KOROK SEEDS, and completing the DLC, finding the Master Sword, finding every armor set, and finding all the memories, I was ready. I rode my horse Maximus to Hyrule Castle, me and Max have been together for almost the entire time I have been playing the game, and he was a loyal steed. I managed to get up to Hyrule Castle and beat Ganon! Then the Dark Beast Ganon, it was an easy fight but GOSH DANG IT WAS IT EPIC!! I got applause from my family, and it was one of the best moments of my life that I will never forget. Now for the sad part, around December of 2020, my grandparents were diagnosed with covid-19, my grandpa made it out, but in January 2021 my grandma passed away. My parents say that she never did drugs, drank, or smoked, they all say she was an amazing woman. I'm happy for everything she's done for me in my life, and I'm just happy I got to spend time with her. Now whenever I play BOTW, whenever I hear a Zelda's voice, I often think it's my grandma speaking to me, so now I have an extremely personal connection to this game. At least she got to see me finish what she had me start...
Honestly yeah. Also because it was my first Zelda, but God I wish I had started with Ocarina of Time and save this one for last, because there are so many references that would’ve got me much stronger. It’d so great to experience that ❤️
And the music tho I got it for my 9 birthday and I didn’t play much when I played IT WOW NOICE I finished in like 2 to 3 months and discovered many new things NOICE! THANKS NINTENDO
I don't care what anyone says, the BOTW soundtrack is ICONIC. the village themes almost all slap, the character themes are bangers, the boss themes are bangers, the main theme is one of the bangers of all time. BOTW is just iconic. It's THE game.
Everyone seemed to hate the Dark Beast Ganon fight. I didn’t. It wasn’t hard, and it was inappropriately easy, but it was essentially a playable cutscene. Games like Undertale and the Asriel fight or Pokemon XY with the Lysandre battle have the same thing.
Your point is right but after all that preparation and hype it's just ass to be like "i didn't even use all my ancient arrows wth it's already over?" This would've all been fine if you had to fight all blights as a part of the final battle (like you would if you didn't do the divine beast quests). Idk who said it but this dude said to fix the final battle you literally just have to flip the battles around, give the unsatisfying battle with half health ganon to the players with 3 hearts and give the awesome boss rush to those who completed the main quests.
TheFreshResh there's no point to defeating all the blights again, you kill them and free the souls of the champions, it wouldn't make sense to free the champions but the blights to still be alive
Honestly one of my favorite fights just because of the feel to it if that makes sense. I got very emersed in the story of the game while I was playing through it and this fight was the topping on the cake because I really felt like I was defending Hyrule and saving Zelda. Maybe I got a little too invested lol
Ohhhh I can’t get over the champion’s themes. Mipha’s is simply sweet and sad, Urbosa’s is strong and powerful, but still soft and tragic, Daruk’s has a strong opening, but is so gentle and melancholy throughout, and Revali’s just hits idk Also I just realized that Daruk’s theme’s melody is 90% just 5ths, which are the strongest interval. The chords and soft arrangement don’t back it though, so it comes off very gentle and I love it ahhh
When I felt Link is ready, I went to "Destroy Ganon", and I loved this soundtrack to the end of the credits! I love this legend of Zelda very much! Thanks for posting it, Peaches Lamb! :)
i had to go in with hylian shield, original champion outfit, fully upgraded master sword, all memories and all divine beasts. that was when I felt like link was ready.
So I have a little story about this game. See, I started my run of this game with one goal in mind: To save the four Divine Beasts and get the Master Sword to slay Ganon and save Hyrule. When I beat this game in... June, I think... I didn't feel like I had just beaten any ordinary game. No, this was something much MUCH grander. It felt like I had truly become a hero. I faced difficult challenges, I defeated vicious adversaries, and against all odds, I had done something... I saved the world. Even as I type this, I feel the unrelenting urge to cry tears of... Joy? Love? Triumph? Sorrow? No... All of it. Thank you, Nintendo... You made me a hero.
It was just like that for me as well. This game is (in my opinion) a masterpiece, I love it so much. Never have I genuinely loved playing a game this much, other than Marvel’s Spider-Man. (And like every game I played as a kid, but I was a kid and my tastes weren’t as developed so those don’t count really)
This game in its entirety took me an entire year to finish, and I found all the side quests, shrine quests, all the KOROK SEEDS, did the DLC, the Hyrule compendium, found all the memories, free the Divine Beasts, got the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield, And I did all this before I went to go fight Gannon. Despite what some critics may say about this game and how the story is lacking in some areas, I don't see really any problems with this game. I love massive adventure games like this, and this game has a special place in my heart because I haven't felt such an adventurous spirit since I played Super Mario Galaxy!! My grandparents also got me this game for my 21st birthday, and I finished it on my 22nd ( which I actually share a birthday with my grandma ). However she passed away in January of 2021 from Covid, And she got to see me finish the game she got for me. So whenever I play Breath of the Wild now, I feel as though my grandma's spirit is watching me play, and that is a great feeling in my opinion.
@@Ericland_Entertainment_Inc I’m very sorry for your loss. However, I’m glad you have such a good connection with the game. To get the feeling that a lost loved one is watching over you is a gratifying feeling.
when i complete all the side quests, all the shrine quests, and find all the korok seeds, i'm going to face ganon again. When i beat him i will set my switch down, and walk out of my room knowing that i completed it all. goodnight
it's not that hard once you know where he is in the castle. But when hes in his fire state that's when it gets frustrating. Just load up on alot of heart pieces, cooked food, arrows, swords, and fairys. The last part getting his eye can be tricky too, but once you have him it will feel accomplishing.
Kakariko has one of the best themes in the entire game. I know some people rave about hateno, or just don't like kakariko, but honestly the song is just amazing
I know Kakariko intimately cuz I was grinding money for cooking/selling to upgrade my Sheikah armor early on lmao. I knew a bit too well honestly. This was on my first playthrough, and not really recognizing the difference in durability for weapons, so I focused on sneak attacks for weapon preservation lol.
when link and zelda walked up to the castle, purified again after so long, and saw the spirits of the four champions and king rhoam...i died from feelings that was some sort of bittersweet closure, at least, but mostly bitter.
why does nobody talk about 8:37-9:45 ??? that scene absolutely killed me and was the first time a video game made me cry. it just broke my heart, and the thought of zelda seeing hyrule castle and castle town completely in ruins absolutely shattered me
And to think this song is 'The Champion's Ballad'. The main theme for Hyrule, Kakariko Village for the Sheikah, the Champion's themes for the Champs, the Main Theme of BoTW for Link... I also hear a pinch of Zelda's Lullaby.
amadeus wolfgeist is a metaphor for gay Actually, The Champions’ Ballad itself is the song Kass plays during that DLC story line. These literally are just each of the Champions’ themes.
@Alvin Rosario It doesn't have a release date yet, people are speculating that the game will come out at the end of 2020 Edit: well, because of the Coronavirus, the game will most likely only come out at 2021
This was a very good game, arguably the best in the series. My only gripe was the lack of variety in enemies and bosses. Most of the enemies were just different variants of each other. And all of the major bosses, while they looked really cool at first, look exactly the same, only difference being choice of weapon. There was also a surprising lack of more memorable enemies such as redeads or darknuts. If it were up to me, rather than the bosses we have now, I would have chosen to have older memorable bosses like King Dodongo or Gohma corrupted by malice. Even with these gripes though, the game was still epic.
Ike Eichenberg i'm also sad that you can't use the master sword two handed like in memories.. Also, The thought of link having a different moveset of different weapons.. (let's say eightfold longblade) is just pure awesomeness
When I first beat the game and heard this I remembered when I first came to Kakariko Village, Goron city, Zora’s Domain, Gerudo Town, and Rito Village. I remembered my awesome but memorable adventures. I loved playing BotW and I still do. The music, the characters, the beautiful graphics, night and day, I love it all. So happy that I get to experience it all again with the sequel coming.
The last riff hits so hard though, the thing heard at someone’s first journey, someone’s first game boy, NES, first time playing a game, heard at the end of a long journey, signifying just how far they have come all of those years. Nintendo is one special company, they have influenced so many in such a good way.
I cannot express my respect for the songwriter but this piece in simply amazing there is no other way to put it, its been 5 years and i still get shivers when i hear it. One of the best musical compositions ever made.
The moment I finished the last Divine Beast, and went back to Impa, I knew I was ready to face Ganon. I won. (Using a ton of bomb arrows), and when the credits played I was actually started to tear up. This game is beautiful, and I cannot wait for the second game.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!! Drinking a toast to our lost Champions! Mipha, Urbosa, Revali, and Daruk! This drink is for you! Also for King Rhoam and those lost in the Great Calamity. RIP. Gone but never forgotten.
Guys I finally figured it out. I always wondered why the Champion themes were in the order they were. Until one day it clicked with me. It’s based off of Link’s relationships with them, not the order in which you do the Devine Beasts. Daruk was Link’s best friend, Mipha was his most dear friend, Urbosa was a valuable comrade and offered wisdom where he had none, and Revali was his rival. It’s in the order Link was closest to them. And with Tears of the Kingdom making it so clear that they’re now using the Main Theme of The Legend Of Zelda as to represent Link and serve as his theme, I now see this song as Link’s answer to Zelda. “Do you really remember me?” Yes. That little piano solo of his theme plays after those words. Even if the player hasn’t completed the memories quest, Link will remember enough, and eventually will, with the Princess’ help. Then, it goes through everyone’s themes. The Sheikah and Impa, Daruk, Mipha, Urbosa, Revali, then finally, he remembers the struggle they all went through together. That’s why in this version of the main theme, there’s no pause in the music, because he’s pieced his life back together. And finally, Zelda’s lullaby. Yes. He remembers her. And when you collect all the memories, what do you hear? A victory fanfare of Link’s theme, finally able to see the kingdom safe, and the princess smile again.
For those interested in a little fact. The notes that are left on the Sheikah Slate for quests? Those are written in first person in Japanese, meaning they serve Link’s little journal and even have a few of his own thoughts on some things. One of the things that he expresses in the final entry for the completed memories quest is this (translated from Japanese, so maybe a little strange wording): “Even if it’s just a moment sooner, I want to save her as quickly as possible. I want to see her smile again, with these eyes of my own.” And with all of the memories what is the last thing you see in Breath of the Wild? Zelda showing her biggest and brightest smile, after saying she is no longer burdened by her power. He’s dreams: realized. This is a beautiful game.
Here we are six years later. Love this credit’s them cause it really does feel like we’re putting the champion’s souls to finally rest, especially the ending part
0:00-0:30 Last time I got that powerful feeling of success was when the 2nd credits of A Link To The Past played! Good job Nintendo....good darn job.....
I was struggling to beat LTTP and finally some kids during recess gave me some tips. I was able to beat him on the last day of school/first day of summer. Man that was a great summer...*sniff*
And to think Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game I've completed through to the end credits and beyond. I've not beaten Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D (if you count my cousins' ds then I've beaten it. But I count it if I own it), A Link to the Past (Yes, I realize I've missed out on the Hyrule Castle variation), I'm stuck on Dragon Roost Island in Wind Waker HD and I'm still goat hunting in Twilight Princess HD. I've never really been sucked into Hyrule Kingdom before now. Thank You, Nintendo and Mr. Iwata-san, I hope you are watching down on us from Lakitu's cloud
Twilight Princess still had one of the best ending credit themes, in my opinion. Ocarina of Time second, and this might just be third...but Skyward Sword's credit theme hnnggghhhh--
My favorite is Wind Waker, Twilight Princess second, and Ocarina of time and Breath of the Wild tied for third. I haven't listened to Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword for a while though. I'll have to give them a listen so I can rank them.
Just beat the game and immediately ran to find this song on youtube...5:22-6:40 gave me such a studio ghibli feel ;-; god i love zelda with all my being...and satoru iwata being the last name on the credits almost made me bust out crying wow
2:47 A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain Softly blows over Lullaby Bay, It fills the sails of boats that are waiting, Waiting to sail your worries away.
I remember when I got this game for my 21st birthday from my grandma. She and my grandpa bought it for me, and it was my first ever Zelda game. It took me an entire year from start to finish, I remember looking out onto Hyrule and hearing such a beautiful opening song, and about a year later on my 22nd birthday, I spent it with my grandparents, aunt and uncle, cousins, and my dad. Me and my grandma share the same birthday, so I spent 4 days with everyone for our special day. I brought my Switch and since I finished both the ENTIRE game and the DLC before the final fight with Ganon, I gathered everyone together to watch me save Hyrule. I fought both Ganon and Dark Beast Ganon with great applause at the end, and it's something I'll never forget, just like this song that basically says, "Thank you for saving Hyrule, for saving Zelda." Now for the emotional part... Little did I know, just a few short weeks later after Christmas 2020, my grandparents were in the hospital with Covid. My grandpa made it through... But my grandma passed away on New Years Eve... Every time I play Breath of the Wild now, any time I hear Zelda's voice, I think and remember my grandma and how she cared about and loved so much... I'm grateful for everything she's done for me in my 22 years on this planet... And I know I'll see her again one day, and I will always remember her... At least she got to see me finish the game she bought for me...
The music to this game is simply AMAZING!! And when the theme for each champion sets in....Daruk's strength, Mipha's compassion, Urbosa's grace and Revali's feistiness...the composition could not have hit the emotions any better! And then the conclusion....pure goosebumps!!!!! Besides completing this game (where i think the creators have really outdone themselves)....listening to this soundtrack is just pure joy!!!
I just finished tears of the kingdom. I can't stop listening to this soundtrack though. Gives me so much nostalgia. I was 11 years old when i played botw. Now im 14 😭
I remember when this game first came out. I played it every chance I could get. This game is in my top 5 of all time. I have so much nostalgia for the music in it as well. It’s hard to formulate coherent sentences listening to this purely because of the main theme. It’s absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorite video game songs of all time, actually. Thank you for making this available for us.
Definitely one of those "Its about the journey not the ending" kinda games and story. Present focuses mostly on the past and is filled with flashbacks to the point that the story is mostly discovery than anything else.
The first song brings you to tears, and then the Kakariko Village theme reminds you that everything is the same, and not to worry, because nothing is changing, you have won the battle, and the world is at peace
I has been a Adventure filled with memories thought we'll last forever I'm going to play the sequel I know it will never be the original because the original will just hit different
A few months ago i did my 3rd playthrough with 3 hearts, full stamina and neked. When the credits roll my radio played "break my stride". *I could not stop doing the macerena.*
Idk why, but every time I hear mipha’s theme, I just want to cry. Same with any of the champion themes, as I just feel sad that they are gone. Despite the fact that we never got to really have interactions with them, I still think they were by our side the whole time, absolutely beautiful
Lloré al final cuando escuché todo el ending ya que me hizo recordar el tiempo que pasé jugando tiempo que pasé visitando cada pueblo y descubriendo nuevas cosas, lloré al recordar todo y mi forma de jugar e interactuar y saber que ya lo acabé y nunca más volvería a ser como antes por que ya derroté a Ganon :( Mipha murió siendo tan inocente :(, Urbosa siempre orgullosa y fuerte, Revali que tu ego no haga sentir mal a tus amigos, y Daruk quien tiene el mejor escudo, quiero ya la secuela,
Man, I love this game so much. It wasn’t until 2020 when I started playing it, but before I had heard people talk about it, i was interested and started playing. Immediately, i was hooked! I would play for hours, nonstop, just exploring, doing quests, anything. I fell inlove with it, i couldn’t stop playing. However, I rushed the shit out of it 😭😭 i beat it within 2 months, and did all my main quests too fast, and I have to say I regret it. BotW is truly one of those games where you have to take your time for the best experience, but I didn’t! I rushed through everything too fast, i didn’t take the time to enjoy this game as much as i should’ve. But even then, i still love it with all my heart. It brought comfort when I was in a bad place, and listening back to the music brings even more comfort. I’d do anything to play this game for the first time again!! As of right now, i am replaying the entire game, no rushing, no guides, etc. I can’t wait to re-experience everything again! I am excited to be able to enjoy this game to the fullest, and listen back to all the fantastic music :)
