"Time passes, people move... Like a river's flow, it never ends... A childish mind will turn to noble ambition... Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself...."
"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
When I was 12 I had a fiery crush on this boy who loved Zelda games. Ocarina of Time was his favorite, but by that time I hadn't played it myself. So it was a difficult teenagers relationship and after two years of misunderstandings we had to say goodbye, and he just said to me the words Shiek says when she teaches you this song. I called him a weirdo and never talked to him again. Then I finally played OoT, many years after that and read those exact same words he said. I almost cried.
Well, I don't know... I like them all, I couldn't pick one :D But if you ask for my favorite song, for example, it would be Saria's Song. What about you?
"Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of water to reflect upon yourself."
In July I had to get my wisdom teeth removed. It wasn't very painful, but it was a while without any talking. Of course the painkillers made me sleepy, but what really got me through the week of nothing but sleep and baby food was this song. I would listen constantly while just drifting off and thinking. This rendition made my summer bearable, and I'm so thankful that it exists. c':
When I heard this song back when I was a kid, it gave me this good shivering-feeling. I'll never regret playing Ocarina of Time back when I was a kid bc those were the good old days in my childhood. Trust me, the Japanese makes very great music when they do games and anime shows as well
When listening to this music I wrote lyrics. They are pretty terrible but I had fun. Like a flowing river Time never stands still Always moving forward With an unyielding will You're always with me In my darkest hour When everything else fades You give me power The light within you Shines forth from me When everything goes black I can still see If they could only see If they could only see
"You're", not "your". And your rythmic pattern is... well, I'd have to hear it be sung, I'm not sure how it's supposed to go. But other than that, very good.
Thank you so much for continuing the music through the credits. A lot of people don't, and you're just left with several long seconds of really awkward silence if you're listening to the music while doing something else. Beautiful rendition. I loved the art as well!
"Time passes, people move... Like a river's flow, it never ends... A childish mind will turn to noble ambition... Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself...."
@GameQber Listen everyone! Sheet is added to video description, have fun with playing it. And thank you GameQber for awesome songs, and no, no, no. YOU rock. ;D
As odd as it seems this song healed me from sadness... I was remembering an ex and this helped me forget and move on. My current girlfriend is the one on my mind now :) thanks for the beautiful song.
"Time passes,people move...Like a rivers flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition......Young love will become deep affection... The clear waters surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of Water and reflect upon yourself."
Yes Shortfri13, this was in Twilight Princess. It played when Queen Rutella talks to you in the twilight version of Zoras Domain and when you get the zora armor. It's such a beautiful theme
i do not have the words to say how wonderful this is! i have been trying to find the full version of this song and i found it! but wait before i freak all who have played Legend of Zelda twilight princess (yes it is a real game for Zelda series) listen when Queen Rutela shows up and listen with all you can and you may hear this song
This and Midna's Lament has to be my favourite songs of the legend of zelda series. Even though I don't like OoT too much I have to say it has some really good music that became iconic of the Zelda series for me.
There use to be a stray cat that would come around and I would feed it and take care of it. I would play this song and let the cat rest on me. I don’t know what happened to the cat but listening to this makes me cry because I truly miss it.
When nintendo finally decides to remake ocarina of time in twilight style graphics, an entire catalogue of the temple songs should be composed by GameQber and implemented into the game - They're incredible
Makes me cry because someone I love told me I'm there link because i never give up on them and that I saved her I never thought music from a game would make me cry
@kindacrazyguy I will also third that... this song seems to seep into your soul, it inspires and caresses ones ears, with each and every note. Truly this is a masterful recreation of the original, it deserves unfathomable amounts of praise. We should adopt this and all the others worthy of this into our every day lives.. it should become the norm to demand good music.. And not be the dungeon crawl from hell and back to find these rare gems. Keep up the brilliant work and the best of luck. J
