This is the Evolution of Ganon's theme aka Priest of the Dark Order (Ganondorf). We see Koji Kondo compose an intro to Ganon in 1986 which becomes the building blocks of every Ganon theme for the next 40 years. Parallel fourths moving chromatically, and there are nods to this theme EVERYWHERE.
There's even a subtle cue that appears a few places and holds more meaning than meets the eye. Wait till the end 😉
I'll post a long, "uncut" version (which is still highly edited) 58 minutes long for those who want all the juicy details. I cut 2/3 of the content from the final video.
This video took me a long time to compile a list this extensive, so please like, subscribe, share with a friend, or support me on Patreon.

Normal melody: oh wow this nice! Same melody in parallel fourths: *so you have chosen death*

@ZeldaMusicTheory 22 дня назад

This is actually hilarious 😆 I was reminded of your Ganondorf video about the octatonic scale. I didn't get into it this video but parallel fourths and octatonic scale (and at times whole tone scale like in the Blight Ganon theme before it loops) are extremely common in Zelda battle and boss music. And I guess bII chords as well, or Phrygian mode. Hope you're well man!

@AdalbarStudios 20 дней назад

Just stack 4ths to make a mega terrifying set of chords. It can get to be too much, but it also just sounds menacing.

I've heard the woodblock/timpani hits right before priest of the dark order and my theory on it is that it represents the tension before a reincarnation or ultimate form of Ganon / Ganondorf. There's always been a pause of sorts between forms to emphasize the dread of what's coming but the addition of a quiet knocking sound actually brings the suspense up.

@@thepotatoportal69 Not all woodwinds have reeds, because flutes (and similar instruments like panpipes) are also classified under woodwinds. You're right that brass fits under "wind instruments" (or Aerophones) alongside woodwind, and that the Didj is classified as a natural trumpet. All wind instruments make sound by vibrating a column of air, but the defining feature of a brass instrument is that the vibration comes from the player's lips (as it does with both a didgeridoo and a trumpet), whereas the construction of a woodwind instrument is what causes the air to vibrate, by splitting the air on a sharp edge such as a reed or the mouthpiece of a flute.

@lmnt66 20 дней назад

Wind Waker’s Ganondorf theme still gives me chills, the added inversion gives so much depth to his character and immediately tells us his whole story. The original theme ascending slowly but steadily, telling us of the threat he used to be, creeping up on the kingdom of Hyrule. And the descending inversion echoing in the background signifying his downfall along with the old Hyrule, fading slowly into oblivion while desperately clinging to the past. It‘s fitting that the final fight is where this descending theme finally breaks through, as his last hope of reviving Hyrule is snatched away in front his eyes and he has nothing left but to struggle in vain, knowing his fate is sealed for good.

@dirtywhitellama 21 день назад

The bit you were talking about around 3 minutes in from LTTP is also used for the time of falling rain, and in the prelude. I feel like I have heard the bit from the early part of the prelude where it evolves into something sweet and poignant somewhere else, in different instrumentation, but I can't place it. Might just be a remix I got somewhere along the line I guess.

The most clear feeling i get from Ganon's theme is that he is the dissonance. I mean, all seems perfectly normal. Is not so much different from a normal melody, you may say that even is not "malefic" per se, until suddenly he hits the most unusual note in the most unexpected moment, driving you into musical chaos as you fail to follow the subsequent second. And the use of some chords in specific moments drives you deeper.

Hey Keven👋🏻 first of all, I’m a huge fan of your videos. I just subscribed to your channel and was hoping to give you an idea for future content when you have the time. I love the hyrule warriors games and especially love the music in them. My hope is that in the future you might react to the soundtrack of both games cause for spin-offs they took amazing inspiration from the main games in their themes. Age of calaimity’s decisive battle against calamity ganon was in my opinion the best final battle theme in all of Zelda before tears of the kingdom. If anything you should check out that theme. Keep up the amazing work!😁

@ZeldaMusicTheory 22 дня назад

I will give you a cool detail since you commented 😁👍🏼 I just listened to that track (for the first time)... Go to 3:11 and listen carefully. Do you hear a theme quoted? I'm not sure if it's intentional, maybe you know better than I would because I haven't played the game. Answer... Zelda's Lullaby 3 note motif. Very cool! (Even if it's not intentional it's fun to speculate).

@Wiiguy1606 19 дней назад

I believe ganon's theme was called something different when I made it to debut and a link to the past because it was a social with agonym and we didn't even know that ganon was involved until near the end. So people never played A Link to the past but played the later games are already going to be spoiled as soon as they hear gannon's theme or whatever it was called back in that particular game

Spoilers for the end of this video but also a TotK cutscene When I was first heard that click-clacking effect in the Imprisoning War memory, I assumed it was a direct reference to the general battle theme in Tears of the Kingdom. An identical clacking sound (I wish I knew what instrument it was) plays at the beginning of the overworld and cave variations of the battle themes.

I really do think that the limitations of early video games were actually a boon for Nintendo. It forced them to break their music down to its most simple to convey a lot of emotion with very few sounds. As technology advanced to have more capabilities for sound design, Nintendo was poised with an absolute arsenal of simple, remixable songs that were instantly recognisable. Many sound designers, even at big studios tend to go too big, loud, or busy, but Nintendo always seems to remember that the basics are sometimes the most effective use of limited resources. I've got my complaints about them of course, but they really do knock it out of the park with their music each time

Yes I agree. But since Ganon is kinda not in the game, and it's like the first "temple" or dungeon you go to, I felt it was relevant. It's just cool that Z1 just used that exact effect, then Z2, and then Priest of the Dark order AND the Ganon fight theme. And it's outside Zelda too, it just sounds menacing.
