Theophany - Oath to Order 

"Heh, heh... Thanks... You're nice. Umm... Can I ask... a question? Your friends... What kind of... people are they? I wonder... Do those people... think of you... as a friend?"

Even if you have never played this game, this song tells a story. If you HAVE played this game, this song holds the weight of the moon in meaning.

Swamp. Mountain. Ocean. Canyon. Hurry, the four who are there. Bring them here.

I don't think there will ever be a game again that captures the urgency, the gloom, the doom, the loneliness, the bleakness, the regret, that this game rolled all into one. Many games have showed epic disaster time and time again, but it always rang so hollow. This game made you CARE about every person in that world. We can remember them all - they all had hopes, dreams, and plans, and it was all coming to an end. That is, until you got there.

8:50 - 9:29 that Oath to Order + Song of Time remaster is one of the greatest things my two human ears have heard.

"Music may not save your soul, but it makes your soul worth saving."

2:55 leading up to 3:50 and beyond is one of the most epic musical experiences I’ve heard

I LOVE YOU THEOPHANY !!!

this gets me mad at how good it is

This makes me want to learn to animate, just so I can make the scene in my head real.

Can you imagine a trailer to a Majora's Mask movie with this music? It starts out with a black screen, with the sounds of large clockwork, and finally a voice saying "You've met a terrible fate, haven't you?" Then the music begins at 2:46, and at every horn burst, they show a different, live-action location in Termina, slowly building up to 3:43, where it then cuts to Anju holding holding the pendant of memories, shifting her gaze up into the sky at the enlarged, ominous moon, finally breaking into the main trailer action sequence at 3:50. I would scream.

4:55--7:00 is absolutely beautiful melody

Never noticed that the cover was animated until now, that dripping effect is god damn unsettling. I love it though

Four Giants. Four guardians. One oath to follow. When the song is sung, the court of the Giants must come together. And defend the land they're ordered to protect

there comes a time in every man's life, when you have to hit the like button, my time was 3:49

this just popped up in my recommended and i must say, i would KILL for an animated majora’s mask movie with semi-realistic, uncanny visuals that keeps the original character design, surreal atmospheric ambiance and contains these phenomenal orchestrated compositions. it would be a cinematic experience like no other. i can almost sense a fan project on its way with how much potential has been shown.

sadness, weariness, a solemn promise, and an unbearable burden….all as you work to fulfill all four within four others…

Years later i still can't help but shed tears whenever @3:49 hits

its kinda hard for me to come back to this rendition these days listened to it a lot back in early 2020 during a really fateful, desolate part of my life, and while things have improved a bit, listening to this takes me back to that time period

I may be late. But I just noticed listening this that a CHILD had to experience the gloomy, twisted, and evil of Majora's Mask. A CHILD has to save the world from the moon and an evil mask demon-like being.

Just rediscovered this. Lemme tell ya, NOTHING gives me chills like this anymore. I don't have any words to describe this. The solemn determination, the grave circumstances based around the song itself, the nostalgia, all amplified in this masterpiece. I just want there to be more amazing works like this one. Golly.

I started crying while listening to this song. Not only is it unbelievably beautiful, but it holds the entire weight of the story in it!

And suddenly, you feel shivers down your spine, goosebumps on your arm. Your heart misses a beat. Your throat thightens as uncontrollable tears come at the corner of your eyes. A sob grows in your chest. But it's stuck, you can't let it out. You can't breath, too. Your mind runs like never before, too much feelings, too much thoughts, you can't stop thinking and feeling. Welcome to Termina. Joy in despair, bravery in fear, and Life in Death. - Thanks for this beautiful track Theophany. A true masterpiece we can feel deep in our guts.

Now if only a studio could produce a high quality short reenacting the scene where the giants come to stop the moon. This cover of Oath to Order would really go awesome with it.

9:05 - that Song of Time bit mixed in was just beautiful.

I'm just imagining this scene in my head: its the final night and link is still in the stone tower temple. Everyone in clock town realizes and starts to panic but in the middle of all the panicking the mother of Anju rolls out of the stock pot inn on her wheelchair. She gets into the crowd and says in her old shriveled voice: "there is no time to panic. we must call the four who are there... the four giants!" Everyone looks at each other contemplating if they should do so or not. Eventually they decide that they have to. So everyone gathers in the center of clocktown. The zoras, Lulu, Anju, the carpenters, the deku,the mayor, Madame aroma, Cremia, Romani every single person in termina gathers and sings the oath to order.

From what I hear in this music, it speaks more to the side of the giants. This song portrays thier side of the story. These celestial being were sleeping in peace until a child awokened each and every one of them. Halfway through the music essentially highlights their importance in this story. 3/4 way into this piece shows the purpose and the struggle they face as they hold the moon with all of their might. In the end, the giants finish the job. The music does not finish peacefully. It cuts off abruptly, as it signifies all the effort that has been placed in stopping the moon has paid off.

This song is a testament to both your ensembles' skill and the original composer. I hear the pain of betrayal, the longing of hope, the glory of God, the memories of youth, the resignation of senescence, and the promise of tomorrow. Thank you for creating this and the other Time's End pieces. I eagerly await your next release.

That ending... Oh my god.

this entire album is amazing, hell of a job good sir. i hope one day we will hear your work in a zelda title or perhaps a new ip.

Only good songs give me chills... This one had me below freezing.

Your work gives off a Zelda meets Dark Souls feel. Brilliant. I hope you can go far with your talents. You have so much talent.

2:48 sounds so majestic. I ran a half marathon to this song. I felt unstoppable

From 9:41 to end brings so much emotion. I literally feel like time has run out. Makes me cry

Theophany come back 😍

When I die and my body shall be burned, I want my funeral song be the Oath of Order. In this world of chaos, at least, in that way... something has to rumble on the heart of the ppl of my generation, about there's still time, as long as we got a drop of health in our lifespan and, even, shine in our eyes.

At 4:56 this exotic sound is so beautiful in it's solo part. The giants so special chants are awesome, I love them so much. The global choirs work is also beautiful and all sound design. This album Time's End II shows Majora's Mask soundtrack as we never heard it before

Chills when the male chorus hit

Anyone else getting a Dark Souls/ Bloodborne vibe from the first half? Either way, simply gorgeous piece. Awesome work!

It sounds holy, like a divine deity saving their mortals in times of great need, as everything falls apart. It sounds holy, like that god coming down. Saving the mortals, in times of great need, as the mortals cry for desparate help at the end of the world, afraid that their god wouldn't hear them, yet the god does, and comes down in an epic manner, as everything falls apart, and a song echoes along the broken land. The Oath To Order has been played, by a hero directly aided by the god. The Song Of Time, as everything repairs itself.

The more I listen to this, the more I think less of the Giants being summoned to push back the moon and more of the Giants coming into existence for the first time when Termina was first created after Majora's rage was calmed. Your music has been a true inspiration to me creating a Termina Bible

That ocarina at the end is perfection

You, sir, are a legend, as is your entire crew. Between you and Undying Nephalim (Hyrule: Total War), we could have a Legend of Zelda movie that would be as great as the Lord of the Rings trilogy a decade ago, if only Nintendo would hire you guys to make it!

The hero of time's story is really a tragedy, I feel the themes of the game loss of childhood, friendship, and love are all mirroring things he has lost may have never found.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - The Movie Coming Soon

"Swamp. Mountain. Ocean. Canyon. Hurry... The four that are there... bring them here..." Theophany, your work is amazing. I don't know why Nintendo hasn't hired you and your entire team! Can't wait to hear what comes next from you, whatever it is, I know it will be awesome. Thank you ~ Alpha

When hearing this masterpiece i can only see one thing in my head. Everything Link has overcome and ready to face the evil looming over termina.

This music calms my anxiety, ironically. Thank you! ❤

This is the most beautifully orchestrated song ever created.

This is honestly the greatest piece of music I've ever heard.

Holy. Butts. WHY AM I JUST FINDING THIS NOW?!?!?

I was totally waiting to hear the main part of it with the whole ensemble blasting it at the end, but the somber direction with only the ocarina playing it was an outstanding choice. You only hear the main phrase 3 times in total. First in the cello, then in the female voice, and then finally in the ocarina. Masterful composition

Now that Nintendo's making movies, this song made me realize how much we need this to be a series focusing on all the Quests and connecting us to the world and deepening the lore. Mario works as a movie, all zelda adaptions should be series imo

Oh my gosh! I am just in love with your work man. Majora's Mask is a special game to me, I consider it my favorite video game, period. The way you capture the aesthetics almost perfectly let's the listener imagine the scene in their head and it truly feels like I'm there in Termina, witnessing the despair and never ending dread (in a good way of course) Like this song for example, the way you did it was just perfect. The chimes of the clock making you never forget the fate of the world and the people in it. How you face the giant, while Termina is in trouble. Gah, I can't find words for how amazing this is.

this masterpiece doesn't get old. 6 years listening to this

I've been listening to this track for years and it still makes my skin crawl, my hair stand up with frisson. So powerful.

Es una de las obras más épicas que he tenido el placer de escuchar. Es una obra tremenda ❤️

I hope someday Majora's Mask gets a proper hundred million dollar remake, and they use this song.

from 3:47 it gave me goosebumps. such an awesome composition of the song.

WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS ALBUM?! I bought the first years ago and finding this second one is an awesome Christmas gift.

These songs are some of my favorite ever I’m so happy these albums were made I’d like to hope for more one day but just this gives me some of the most emotional yet peaceful music

This is so ridiculously good. Also, Jaeger nailed it. That section of this song is perfect.

My tears will speak of what i felt.i can not put in to words what this did to me. Im tearing right now and struggling to write.i may never see you in life but from the bottom of my heart thank you.

This is some Hans Zimmer level composition! Marvelous piece!!!

The last 30 seconds is just magical. I would like to imagine it plays while Link is trying to make his way back to Kokiri forest and at first it seems he makes it and is finally able to see his friends and live his childhood again for real this time. Link smiles and runs towards everyone only for the camera to suddenly pans to Lost Wood. We now are presented with a withered, sad-looking Stalfos wearing a green tunic, an old and broken ocarina by his hand, sitting alone under a tree in the rain. Music ends.

absolutely amazing.. seems so real legend of zelda is alive

I totally fell in love with this soundtrack

I love your work

I am telling all of my friends (the ones who play zelda games at least) about this. After all, this work of quality better get around as much as possible.

I meditate with this and let me tell you... it's an experience few drugs can hope to match.

each time i listen to theophany remix of this song, my eyes just tear up

Come 8:54, I am lost in my own world. Oh my god, epic.

I bought this album and I dont regret it a single bit. These remixes are incredible. I could listen to them all day, week or year. I just love every single one of the songs in there. It's amazing. Thank you for the great music.

7:01 to the end is so intense, I can't describe it

This song adds to who I am every time I hear it.

You know, I was kinda expect raucous applause at the end of that. The best Oath to Order Representation, undoubtedly.

The lone hero bears witness to many stories of love and honor unfolding around him and weeps for he is doomed to serve the people and never truly form bonds with them.

This is one of the most incredible pieces of music i've ever heard and i've listened to this hundreds of times by now

Not gonna lie, I get chills from this rendition of Oath to Order.

Yeah from about 8:50 all I can imagine is the final hours counting down and link running through the terraces of clock town, one thing left, one enemy in mind, time to stop repeating time, time to end the land and skull kids suffering, time to believe in your strengths, time to heal the land and terminas terrible fate... Ascend the clock tower and stare hell incarnate down and finish the job.

The visuals I get in my head from this song gives me chills every time. This was an exciting moment in the game and this song captures it perfectly.

The build up from 1:46 on feels like an ELE (extinction level event) is about to happen and I can picture all of Links enemies teaming up with him for such an event. Ganondorf wanted to rule the world, but Majora's Mask wanted to destroy it.

this whole album is fuckin fire. nostalgia to the max. i can play this game over and over again but it'll never feel the same as when the very first time i played it and everything was new.

Most amazing Thing I've ever heard.

Absolutely fantastic!

I love the (intentional?) Symbolism with the song of time. How the music pauses for a brief moment, everything calms down as it would if you reset time in the game. But should you wait....you feel the weight of the moon and chaos and fear ensues, ending with the last ocarina song at the end of the game... Not to renew with Time, but to finish it with Order.

Working the song of time in there towards the end? Goddamn. Your re-imagining is beautiful, thank you!

Can't stop listening to this... no words... specially from 9:00 to 9:30. The song of time... just... wow

I can't stop listening to this. It's so good it brings me to tears.

"What a great fucking life". I will never forget the anger, hatred, and spite with which he said those words. He went off to a job interview, forgot some important piece of paperwork, and tried calling me. But I was playing Majora's Mask at the time, and then, just as now, I had the ringer of my phone off. He came home earlier than I expected. Saw me enjoying my life. Ridiculed my choice of entertainment. And left, blaming me for his own problems. And I believed him. Believe. "I'm proud of you, son". I will never forget the sincerity, love, and heartfelt joy with which he said those words. No particular reason, no particular occasion. My dad was many things, but a liar was not one of them. If he said something it was because he believed it. He meant it. And he said he was proud of me. But I couldn't believe him. Can't. He is gone but I remain, blaming him for my own problems. One day I will beat Majora's Mask. On that day, I will have either overcome my failures as a human being or embraced them as a part of who I am. Until then... I will hide myself from myself. I am not ready to face the man in the mirror. I don't know when, or even if, I will be. That's the true final boss of any life though, isn't it? The "Self". Reconciling It with what we think It should be, based on what we're taught It should be, with what It actually is.

Almost a year later, and this music is still awesome.

This is a masterpiece... i haven't words to describe it

This song brings tears to my eyes, and weight to my heart. You truly know your craft, Theo.

The 4 minute mark gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Good lord.

I like this it’s calming and i know the song and the game, old memories doesn’t change

This song is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! Can't express in words how beautiful this is Edit: I sing choral now, and I'm part of a chorus of over 80 people. The fact that I would sell my soul to the devil in order to be able to sing this song

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! THE ENTIRE ALBUM BRINGS CHILLS!!!!!!

Without a doubt, the best remixes of Zelda music I have ever heard! Always come back to listen to loads of these. So much hard work and talent has gone into making these. I'm in awe.

an amazing arraignment. so powerful. this is how i felt playing the game for the first time

It's been so long since the last time I've heard this, still I get the same goosebumps.
