Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:54 - 0 Hives Destroyed 2:05 - 1 Hive Destroyed 4:15 - Riju Under Attack 4:46 - 2 Hives Destroyed 6:39 - 3 Hives Destroyed 9:24 - Outro This one was the hardest (so far) to piece together in a way that flowed nicely. Many apologies if some of the transitions are jarring as a result. While each phase has a variation of the "Riju Under Attack" section, I decided to only include it once, as the versions are all identical, other than slight tempo changes to match the current phase.
This is what made this particular regional phenomenon my favorite of the four (VERY closely followed by the ascent to the Wind Temple). I mean, it was already giving zombie apocalypse vibes but defending Gerudo Town and strategizing regarding cannon and battalion placement was SO COOL. Such a different mechanic that reminded me a lot of AoC.
I really love how triumphant and frantic the "All hives destroyed" part sound. It's as if the gibdos are panicking, the fight will soon be over for them and they know it.
I'm enjoying going back and listening to all this on YT. For some reason in the game, the sound mixing really prioritizes action and environmental noises over the actual music, so you can't hear all the subtleties of the music.
8:51 this reminds me of Vah Naboris's theme in age of calamity. If Naboris was present during the gibdo sandstorm, the gibdos would be in a bad position to say the least. This whole track is great.
