Wait... WHAT?! WHAT?! I've played this game at least 10 times since I was a child and had the gamecube version, and yet I NEVER CAUGHT THIS??? WHAT?! I have failed as a Zelda fan...
When I played the 3ds remake, I always played the Song of Time along with Serenade of Water and Nocturne of Shadow because I just loved the way they sound.
@@Warri0rLink Yeah, I wanna say the ones in Goron City are the most obvious, but the way it works with every instance of them is that it checks your age and what "time period" the blocks are in and chooses to spawn them based on that. It's particularly obvious if you glitch into MQ dungeons as the other age since half the Song of Time "puzzles" are already solved
@EpicFailureFive Doesn't work that way. It's a name for it mainly because you're traveling through time. You kids hate OOT so much because it's praises by many and especially highest rated game for metacritic lol
The music in Majoras Mask hits a dark part of the soul literally nothing else can. The off notes are so important to what makes that game so damn eerie
@@littlemac5942 yes, the notes are there to hint that something is wrong. It’s often thought that Majora’s Mask was actually an unsavory end to The Hero of Time. The off notes in the Song of Time would hint that as well.
@@AS-fu1kd I find it interesting that OoT and MM's dissonance is used much in the same way that religious music will use it. They establish a base "drone" note, will build into deviating from the drone to create dissonance, but then always come back down into the drone tone to resolve the conflict in the music that's created
Well now you have because I'm one of them. Love Zelda. Hate Spongebob. Why? Because I've always thought Spongebob was annoying. I get that that's the point of him. But annoying on purpose is still annoying. Meanwhile Zelda is a classic that set many standards in video games in the early days that are still mostly adhered to to this day.
They're really, really different and go for different artistic visions. Eiji Aonuma could hate Spongebob and I wouldn't be irritated. If anything, I feel like you might have met people that like both because both are popular, not because they are the same niche. I dont like spongebob for instance.
@ElKaliseries I used Google translate to read your reply, and make my own. Unfortunately, the effects that later seasons had on his image, make it hard for me to not find him annoying entirely. Google translate: Desafortunadamente, los efectos que las temporadas posteriores tuvieron en su imagen hacen que sea difícil para mí no encontrarlo completamente molesto.
When I first started playing Majora's Mask, I accidentally played the Song of Time backwards a lot, making me think I can't go backwards in time. Thankfully, I learned my mistaken in the next few months or so.
Oh man, I know this is supposed to be a meme but I didn't think I'd get here and become a little bit emotional. Big games of my childhood, still a huge fan up to this day. Really had an impact on me and my life and the soundtrack is still so gorgeous. Great f'ing memories, man.
On an off note for a moment There were kids that quit playing majoras mask because they got fed up of time passing by so quickly whilst trying to complete dungeons because they never discovered there were songs to slow time down to a grinding pace The only insult I have got for them is that they are Donuts without any icing
There was one random side character in a rather secluded area of Clock Town that tells you that, and only if you interact with him. It's not so out of this world not to find him.
Funnily enough other than the temple of time and the occasional song of time door/block The Song of Time isnt played nearly as often in Ocarina of Time.
Even though ocarina of time was my first Zelda game, majoras mask (my second) has always been my favorite. Even in terms of the Zelda universe itself it’s so eerie and other worldly, ocarina of time had a triumphant undertone to its colors, music, and story, where as majoras mask was somber, sad, foreboding, and gloomy. Not to mention the rpg elements and sophisticated NPC A.I. that ocarina of time didn’t, it just stuck with me from a young age and it’s still my favorite.
Its weird how ocarina of time had like...1 or 2 niche uses in the game Majoras mask? Nah chief that song is what this game REVOLVES around. At minimum(including double song and slow song) you play the song of time roughly EIGHT times. (Song of double may vary if you need to speed along a process for something like the sword, which if you didn't clear snowhead day 1 on run 2, adds another song of time...unless you REALLY wanna speedrun the ocean temple)
@@cleverman383 you only NEED it for: Darunia Mido Zoras Fountain Bottom of the Well x2 Shadow temple And the Spirit temple ×3(because you can't leave without warping and must enter 3 times twice as adult and once as child) Every other use for it is completely optional. All together that's 10 required uses. Heres the Ocarina of times use case in MM: Healing all 5 people (link, Darmani, Mikau, kamaro, Pamelas father) Epona's song is required The song of time must be at minimum played every 3 hours. In a speedrun the minimum cycles is 2 so let's just give 3 minimum for margin of error. The song of storms to heal sharp. The temple warp songs have been changed to temple access songs and each much be played a minimum of once, except goron lullaby which must be played twice. And the elegy of emptiness must be played AT LEAST 12 times just to enter the temple. Already there are at least 26 mandatory uses of the Ocarina in MM. Please let me know if I missed any.
SpongeBob: "I'm partial to doing it in the key of a-minor myself!" *Squidward: "That's **_d-minor,_** you loon!"* SpongeBob: "Wait...if you can identify what key I'm playing in, then how come you're playing the notes incorrectly?" *Squidward: "W-w-well, you see, ahh..."*
He's playing it correctly. Why else would it be able to reset time to the beginning of the loop while the one in OoT can only change a few blocks around while the function one would think it would have is given to a sword that has almost always, if not always, been in the franchise that Nintendo made the mistake of trying to pretend there was a timeline for just to fail to appease wiki-filling fandom-ruiners that jumped ship to horses the moment they got bored with ruining a game series about some sword guy and had that outlet? Oh wait, he's playing Inverted Song of Time. In which case, he's playing it even more correctly because it's not only slowing down time as intended, but MM is, to my knowledge, ISoT's sole appearance.
Hold on those 2 songs are in a different order, that's like saying the song of healing is wrong and then playing Zelda's lullaby, it's just in a different order
I'm still enamored by MM even now...! I couldn't imagine being the guy or gal who found playing the Song of Double Time or Inverted Time actually did something lowkey amazing? Its common knowledge now, but before on a blind playthrough this was a deep well hidden secret!
