The Most Iconic Song In Every Zelda Game 

My blood pressure when I hear that: 🚀🚀🚀

Or SS

I came here to make this comment, but I knew in my heart it had already been made :)

Same

Or the game over music

Zelda, Pokémon, Mario even. Nintendo has some of the best music, but it's almost impossible to find :/

​@@HermanTG Not really there's a website that has every music available to listen :)

​@@UnlikeVarjakWhich site? :)

​@@niamh3494 The website is called "RU-vid", and typing the secret code (don't tell Nintendo) of "Zelda -insert game here- OST" you'll have instant access to every Zelda game's OST. I repeat, do NOT tell Nintendo, trust me.

@@niamh3494 youtube lmao

My top 10 Zelda songs of all time: #10 Ballad of the Wind Fish #9 Temple of Droplets #8 Lanaryu Sand Sea #7 Farewell Hryule King #6 Colgera Battle #5 Dark World #4 Zelda’s Lullaby #3 Dragon Roost Island #2 Midna’s Lament #1 Fi’s Farewell

Colgera theme is just a remix of dragon roost

@@skellyboibad2250 The full song is much more than just a Dragon Roost remake. It definitely has it’s own vibe and feeling. The full battle soundtrack is almost 10 minutes long.

@@ShadowWizard224 its a more cinematic version of WW rito songs

korok forrest is the best

I was so happy to discover that THAT part, which I also loved (played on the second-to-last trailer if I'm not mistaken), was hidden here, right at the final boss. The whole music medley when fighting Ganondorf is mind-blowing, to be honest, re-adapting what was my favorite Ganondorf battle theme (the one from OoT) to then going to that whole emotional suite, and capping off the last phase with a remix of Calamity Ganon's theme was just pure soundtrack bliss.

i dont do if buts and maybes i do absolutes. facts

Omg my heart was pounding as I made my way to ganondorf and that Music just got louder and louder

That’s what I thought he would pick!!! Damn it if I wasn’t slowly inching forward cuz the music had me feeling nervous.

The sound design on the way to Ganon was pure magic! Also when you hop down and find Zelda's torch from the very beginning was like woah... they really paid close attention to detail. The music in that game never ceases to get me excited. The final battle is probably the most epic, most exciting and hardest Ganon has ever been

sometimes i listen to Zora's Domain from OoT for hours on end to help me focus, peaceful and magical at the same time

Zora's Domain is actually one of the most popular themes from the game. It got reused multiple times in the series, including in BOTW and TOTK.

God the Farewell theme... "Not a day of my life has gone by without my thought turning to my kingdom of old. I have lived bound to Hyrule. In that sense, I was the same as Ganondorf"

I do love that theme.

I'd say it's a close second. The Clock Town theme never got reused but the Song of Healing did. Plus Song of Healing was used in a lot of tie-in material, like the Majora's Mask 3DS menu skin.

Fully agree, Clocktown IS Majoras Mask. Great video Zeltik, the music of this franchise is second to none

I think that song was chosen because it's also associated with ben drowned

Twilight Princess had some of the best bangers in the series

Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Tears of the Kingdom have the best soundtracks.

The feels while reading this 😭 Yes I loved Fi's farewell also, it hit me so hard

It deserved an honorable mention at the very least.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, but ballad of the goddess is definitely more well known

damn bro, rip🙏🕊️

Why didn't he return? I like Penn just fine, but I miss Kass.

​@@Wolffman109no one knows Nintendo just didn't add him

@@burnttoast857They should've.

Isnt there lore behind it?

@@PercyPiggingtonNope. Outside of a passing mention by Penn on Washa's Bluff, there is absolutely no mention of Kass anywhere in the game.

"vgm"?

short for "video game music"@@b.clarenc9517

"vgm" stands for video game music

That and the Lost Woods theme, which I always find myself humming

Now imagine if that was your first zelda game you actually played! For me its the piano solo, it just hits different

The howl… 🐺 Epic indeed, made my hair stand up when I first heard it, still does sometimes

@@KevinOsuide-qw5huTP was my first Zelda. I got it on the Wii. I was 7 at the time. I instantly fell in love with it and I still play it from time to time. The opening theme still gives me chills to this day.

@@KevinOsuide-qw5hu My first Zelda game was A Link to the Past, but TP was my first 3D Zelda, and MAN was that title screen magic!

The hyrule field theme is the best and deserved to be mentioned

balled of the goddess better tho

A wild Austin John Plays has appeared!

Word!

im personally usually a fan of the ambience type stuff from BotW/TotK, but after playing some OoT last year nearly every ocarina song was stuck in my head throughout the rest of the week. Especially song of storms and lost woods.

@@Mat14651bro this isn’t about god

I was just about to comment this. Especially the Tears of the kingdom one.

I like TOTK's better.

Best soundtracks in Zelda: 1. Tears of the Kingdom 2. Skyward Sword 3. A Link To The Past

Yes - that saxophone!

Yesssss! BotW final trailer's music if I remember correctly was one of the best I've ever heard (and I was sad it wasn't in the game)

That theme transported me from a legend of zelda game to the climax of a studio ghibli film. Great song

Hear hear!

It was amazing don’t get me wrong but I still think Zelda should have stayed as a dragon. Yes it would be heartbreaking but that’s the point.

​@@meee_5155I honestly think that we as viewers are too quick to balk at characters returning from the dead, especially in cases like these where I really don't see much thematic function to Zelda staying lost. In fact, I think it would only further sever TOTK from BOTW by flying in the face of Zelda's arc in that game. She was a character crushed by a duty thrusted upon her, who only truly bloomed when she gained something to fight for beyond destiny. If she became lost after pretty much being forced into an unwinnable scenario that she had no control over, it'd be as if fate itself is dragging her right back into her unhappy ending.

I agree. The music alone made me incredibly emotional. The blending on the main theme to Zelda's Lullaby into The Hero Theme. God, I wanted to burst into tears.

One day, it took a while for Breath of the Wild to get that

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S1me_BpgFuw.htmlsi=K874AxykMljhWY9Z is the best version I could find

Oh my goodness. My body is ready.

Netflix will make a series 😂😂😂

They better actually adapt some full songs, Mario movie soundtrack was great but I was really disappointed they didn't use more game tracks

They will put "I need a hero" and a few other pop musics just like in the Mario movie and we'll all be disappointed :))

​@@defdragons3did you happen to miss the news that a movie is in the works?

zelda music is BETTER than what many people would consider “real music” i rly can’t believe he was all that surprised… musicians should know that soundtracks feature some of the most moving music out there… unless they’re a foagie

Video game music AS A WHOLE is better than that so called "real music", those that disagree simply don't get it.

​@@KevinOsuide-qw5huCouldn't agree more. Devil May Cry, Doom (both the Midi songs and Mick's music) Killer Instinct, Minecraft, Metal Hellsinger, etc, and obviously Zelda have wonderful soundtracks that rival and even surpass most "real" music I've heard.

The Song of Healing feels like acknowledging your pain/grief/regret, accepting it, then moving on

@@previllion5355 Beautifully put.

@@previllion5355 this

the song of healing is so completely sad that you can’t help but let the dread wash over you. then after accepting and opening up the floodgates to emotion you feel an release like a weight being lifted off your shoulders and you feel acceptance. i feel like this is how the mask hosts felt in their last moments too

My favorite

You dropped this 👑👑

@@pat242-kun Can I also have one? Even though I can't say Song of Storms is my absolute favorite, it's definitely up there!

@@Abegilr_Dragonrider of course you can king 👑

Dude same definately one of the top 3 zelda songs ever

i agreed when i was 12. now the song is still okay but really really repetitive

Calling the four giants is also a masterpiece and Deku Palace, Stone Tower Theme, Astral Observatory, etc…

I don't know if I'd say it's iconic (as in, it doesn't feel like the game is represented by the song), but it IS exceptional. Most of the original music in Majora's Mask is. Maybe the only one I'd say isn't is the best would be the music that plays in the four regions before you defeat the associated boss. It's atmospheric and fits the tone perfectly, but doesn't have the same "can listen to it on loop forever" sound that Zelda music is known for.

Termina Field has always been my favorite from that game, even if it is just kind of a remix of the original overworld/Zelda main theme.

Ngl I kinda miss them sometimes

@@marielcarey4288we complained about them but looking back they were actually kinda fun

@@magmawarlord9992 well.. The reason we complained about them was because we werent prepared for it xD

I really can't stand Kass's theme. The Guardians theme is much more representative of the game. I really noticed their absence in TOTK due to the lack of stress that I was feeling.😅

@@magmawarlord9992They're like any tough enemy in a video game - when you first meet them, you are woefully unprepared for what you're up against. Then after the game has progressed, you'll have both the skill and tools needed to fight them. Once you beat one for the first time, you feel that sense of accomplishment, and as you keep going eventually you dominate them and it just feels so cathartic. Your first encounter with an intact Guardian will likely be when you have limited weapon slots and weak swords, minimal unupgraded armor, and no clue how to even go about fighting them. Plus they're fast and can likely kill you in one hit. But then you get a few heart containers, learn how to parry, and bring some Ancient weapons and wreck their legs one by one.

Agreed!! Aboda village, Anouki village, Papucha village, Whittleton, Castle theme, there's so many good soundtracks but the overworld theme is just on another level

@@selmacans Fr!!!

Yes!! I love the 3rd part theme vs malladus. It’s so epic and I love how it infuses “full steam ahead” into the track

@@deltaphoenix8616 same!! I love that it connects a lot of the themes together

just recently played through the game after not having a DS for years now and man, i still love it haha. The ST OST is probably my favorite in the series overall

that just proves how brilliant that theme is for making the player feel like Link: a deep, unsettled feeling that your life is in danger, you don‘t know why or how, but you need to get away. it‘s abrupt and overwhelming, just enough to make the player notice that being spotted is NOT GOOD and it‘s so effective that people don‘t even need to know Zelda or the guardians to be startled by that music

Dead on

The first time I heard Molduga's vulnerable phase, I stopped focusing on the game to enjoy it. It rules.

Molduga theme was robbed

Did you know that “Courage” is just the slowed down version of Hyrule Field Day Theme??? Pretty cool 😎

@@ShadowWizard224 Yep. That motif is the best part of the theme… and the transition to the og overworld theme in the end credits is just perfection. 👌🏽 A user named Brock Hewitt has a great cover of just Courage here on RU-vid.

Also he mentioned it earlier in the video but he completely skipped over colgera theme during TotK. That song is definitely the second most iconic after the main theme

@@meee_5155easily

He was avoiding songs that heavily drew upon past games, to focus on the new stuff. That's why he didn't mention those ones again.

@@chaosmkmk bc water temple is definitely completely original yep. (Could’ve done like Yunobo’s theme or Queen Gibdo)

@@meee_5155 He DID mention the Colgera theme, during the part about the Dragon Roost Island theme.

Tower of spirits ascent is the way you are supposed to listen to that theme lol. Walk up at an even pace. You can’t just walk out the top floor door. It’s illegal.

Whoever teleports to the top floor is a madman

You mean Saria's song flipped? Zelda's lullaby has a different 'shape' so to speak

It's not Zelda's lullaby flipped, it's almost the inverse of Saria's song

I believe it's Saria's song actually

I agree!

I also fully expected him to pick Wind Waker's title theme as that game's most iconic song, but Dragon Roost makes sense.

It’s my favorite Zelda song ever.

Favorite video game song hands down. I cry every time
