And so I begin this run on what in its time was the game that I most finished, over 20 times or more, hope you'll enjoy --------------- Game: Zelda: Ocarina of Time ---------------- System:N64/ENG
since I was a little kid this opening gave me the sensation of being lonely, maybe thats how this reincarnation of Link feels, all the other Links had an uncle, a granny and a sister, a father in BOTW, or someone you can call a friend but this Link is different.
zrubskev The Link In TP doesn't have family. This Link has friends. You can't really say that for TP, sadly. But I do agree. It does sound lonely, and this Link was definitely that.
@@av4627 navi wasn't there for him. It was only when the Deku Tree died it sent Navi to go find link. He had Saria at the very least but ofc he wasn't a kokori so even that was limited.
when i first played the game years ago, i had a feeling hearing this theme song, its hard to explain it, but i have the same feeling every time i listen to this.
Takes me back to a simpler time in my life. I was just a kid. No worries, no stresses, just me and a game. Never thought it would mean so much to me all these years later.
Honestly, if you did have exactly 1 minute and 24 seconds left to live and you listened to this, that would be really peaceful, sitting in a chair, looking out the window and reflecting on your life all while listening to this song...
Woke up early for my first day of middle school. I was anxious and didn't know what to expect. Turned on the n64 and listened to this opening. The sun was rising and it was a brisk late August morning. I was ready for a new adventure. That was years ago but that feeling always comes back when I hear this theme.
I didn’t get to play this game until I was 16 years old and it kind of changed me I feel like? I’ll never forget the summer of when I first played this game :,)
Still to this day, one of the greatest games ever created. If I could erase my memories of this game I would only so that I could experience it for the first time again.
This opening is one of the most amazing things for me. I loved this game as a kid, adored it and this opening is one of the main things I remember from my childhood. When life is being a bitch, I like to get high, put this on and find that feeling I had as a child. It just brings me back to that time. Nothing will ever beat this game and the effect it had.
Same. I was young enough to find the game really hard to beat, I would let the opening play out a little because i wanted to see adult link ride epona. It was out of my reach for weeks.
Dude, even tho oot is the best game ever made, nintendo never ceased to impress me with the other big zelda games as majoras mask or twilight princess or botw
Things change over the years that happens see back in the day y’all didn’t had all that Mac books and also they want to make gaming even better so that’s why stuff changed
Gosh this title theme will always no matter what make me want to bawl and cry about the simpler times as a young boy with not a car in the world… this tune will always bring me such peace it’s quite indescribable how beautiful this theme is❤
Imagine being 10 years old, the same age as link at the start of the game, when you played this for the very first time in '98. It was that sense of wonder, seeing a LTTP retold in full 3d. It was truly magical in the best sense of the word; the exploration of the new and unknown. I'll never forget this moment in my life as long as I live.
I was ten when this came out but I didn't get to really play it until the next year. Still playing this and Majora's mask were highlights of my childhood. But luckily the series is still top notch today too. Can't wait for whenever botw 2 comes.
Always get choke up listening to this. This was my first game ever that got me into gaming now. This game also made me feel wanted, someone needed my help at that time. I never finish it because I was afraid the feeling of being wanted will be gone once I beat it. This game truly save my life and so many other games as a child
Nothing makes me more angry than the fact that I can cry when listening to this, but the most I did when my uncle killed himself was shed a tear. This game meant everything to me for many years, and was the reason that I learned English so well, thank you to everyone who worked on the game for making the greatest game of all time
born 2005, didn't witness the 98 version of ocarina of time, but the DS remake is my entire childhood, it's crazy how this game can create bounds even between generation. A lot have grown with this game and to be honnest some more will keep growing by its side
watching this makes me miss the first time i played this back on the virtual console on the wii, nothing to stress about besides school, and not bothering my parents, simpler times and this game made my childhood amazing, id go back and do it all over again if i could
I was 6 years old when this game was released. I'll never forget the endless nights, the faking a fever or acting sick at school just to go home and play this, and the many times I replayed this Masterpiece over and over again. I'm 31 now, and still The Legend of Zelda holds a very near and dear place in my heart, and I am able to share with my daughter who at the age of 4 played BOTW for the first time. It's crazy to think when she entered Hyrule it was a vast world, with infinite possibilities, and a beautiful art style. But when I entered Hyrule for the first time it was here, on Ocarina of Time and I felt as if this world was massive and there was so many possibilities. Oh how spoiled she was for her first experience, but I wouldn't change the way I discovered Hyrule for the first time!
It's like the embracing calm of a new day's sunrise with the peace and quiet of a sunset, the best of both worlds. Indescribable I never thought I'd want to live inside a "press start" menu, but here we are
Such a nostalgic feeling, hearing epona gallop across hyrule field and those first few notes que in. Nothing bring me back to my childhood more than this right here
This. This song. This opening scene with Epona’s echoing steps. This feeling encompasses my childhood, my hopes, my dreams, my emotion... my heart. This takes me to a faraway place, where unending sunset horizons and adventure; life itself abounds. It’s lonely, but it’s also the most at home I’ve ever felt. I literally love this.
Today is my 34th birthday, but it reminds me my 9th birthday. It has been passed 25 years since I received The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as gift from my parents, it was a special day because it had become one of the best videogames I ever played.
It makes me want to cry. When I was a kid, my brother and I got a GameCube. Back then it came with the Zelda collection, and he and I LOVED Ocarina of Time, especially my brother as he was older than me and had the privilege of playing it on N64. My brother died back in May from a motorcycle accident. You were a great brother, Jesse. I miss you so much.
This is the most perfect thing gaming has ever accomplished. The music, atmosphere, sounds of eponas steps as link rides her throughout the field. It is the best title screen ever
I remember buying this soundtrack cd.. and putting this song on repeat every night for bed. Beat the game 15 times. I’ll never play it again, but the music brings back all the feels.
@@CayenneTurboDriver I tried once in the last 5 years(ish) and. It’s like when you eat a certain food (like Top Ramon for instance) for too long and can never bring yourself to do it again.
When this game came out, I was like 10 years old. Being so young, it was so difficult for me to beat the bosses and pass certain temples. I would cry out of frustration. Nothing will beat the feeling of accomplishment I’d feel after finally being able to beat those. This game taught me that perseverance is the key to everything you set your mind into, no matter how frustrating it gets and how much you want to quit. I was about to quit myself once too many times. This song brings really fond memories, of times that will never come back, but I still smile, because I had the chance to play it, and beat it, and feel awesome about it.
The "blue atmosphere" this game has is something that wasn't port on the 3DS remake, and for me it took away a lot of the feelings. And it's also a lot of people doing HD remakes don't understand. But Zelda has always been very related to art, and people that want to recreate OoT, needs to understand impressionism.
If you meant how it switches from night to dawn and we see more blue lighting conpared to the 3DS remake. I agree. I prefer the colouring here more. In fact I remember this opening, despite it being of lower graphic quality compared to the remake, was much more natural looking than the remake.
Its mind blowing to imagine that this game is going to be studied and appreciate in the future like the greatest master pieces of human history and we witnessed it in its moment
I still remember coming home from primary school, and my parents surprised me with a Nintendo 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I played deep into the nights, always rushing home after school, throwing my school bag into the corner, and spending hours with Link and Navi, riding through Hyrule. I kept a piece of paper with the different melodies of the Ocarina written down, always carrying it like a notebook. When I think back to that time, it was the best period of my life. Those melodies are therapy for my soul, which has grown older now. Thank you, my younger self.
Agreed 100% that game was LITERALLY my childhood. And its my first time seeing zelda again in my life sisnce 8 years and im 18 now 😢😢😢. I might buy the console and game again
Gharib Aref I am a little older than that gharib I played this game with about 15 years old or so and he still has me a sense of nostalgia like no other game Greetings ( except FF 7 too ) rs
First game i ever played, this kind of nostalgia hits so different from every other, the song and the horse steps and all the memories come instantly into my mind giving me chills ,like if it was yesterday, but somehow out of reach, i tell everyone to enjoy the present and also don't be sad its over, be happy that it happened.
Started this game today after a long time. Got so many memories with this masterpiece… my life has so many shadows now, got a tear in my eye when i heard the intro after such a long time This game helps me to forget my depressions for a moment Wish i could turn back in time, when life was simpler
this song and Mario 64 credits are the most nostalgic songs for me. grew up on Nintendo 64 because my mom's friend gave me theirs and it really opened my eyes. I love this game and everyone should enjoy it at least once in their life.
It's art. They did what they could with what they had. You can't say the graphics were good because they objectively weren't. But it still looks amazing because they put their hearts into it.
@@bobsaggater3454 Er, these graphics were considered utterly jaw dropping at the time. Nintendo was DEFINITELY hard-core selling its exclusives as graphical powerhouses. Some of the first videos they showed were proof of concepts to show off the SGI engineered hardware. Graphics have always been an important part of gaming. Anyone who was alive during the laughably named "Bit Wars" knows that.
I remember playing this game as a 5 year old and not understanding what to do. It’s like my mind couldn’t comprehend 3-D space because I was so used to SNES. But I’ll never forget that feeling when I first played it.. It’s indescribable.
The greatest video game of all time. Looking back, and seeing that it's 1998 - I can't even explain it. The men that made this game were chosen by God and the universe. Thank you Nintendo - or at least the team that made this game.
this played on a mix I had going, of old N64 music. I wasn't paying attention to the tab, so I had no warning. Nostalgia hit me hard, and I damn near bawled my eyes out right there in study hall.
Even as someone who only played the 3ds ver and never got to experience the hype surrounding this game 20+ years ago, this opening alone is one of the best I’ve ever seen
Je me souviens de cette introduction comme si c'était hier... Lorsque j'ai débuté ce jeu, il a retenu toute mon attention, il a été très facile de se plonger dans le rôle de Link et conquérir ce monde... Ce jeu est d'une diversité exceptionnelle de par ses différentes missions, décors, ambiances et magnifiques musiques... Ce jeu est éternel !
Same! I don’t know how my little 4 year old mind managed to even beat this game, I remember using a fishing rod and the hammer trying to defeat Ganon 😂
i'd always stop at that little creek to give epona a drink" all the time as a child. what id give to go back. such a beautiful, comforting song, and yet the poignance grows each year. and that's Ok. the flow of time is cruel, but, looking back, we have all come so far. i'm still breathing, despite there being moments where my efforts towards the contrary outweighed common sense. i'm glad we are all still here. please have a lovely year, everybody ❤
I remember when I'd just let this play over and over again because I loved how pretty the theme song is. Even little me had an appreciation for good music. 😁
I’m turning 22 this year, life is pushing me in directions where I must grow up, work for a living, deal with hardships, go to school and move on from the past and passings of family members. I remember playing this game consistently when I was 6-14 years of age. It was the first video game I ever played, my brother introduced me to it. I fell in love, deeply and played through it once every year, I remember endless hours past midnight and waking up early just to go on more adventures in Hyrule. This opening title track brings me so many good memories with that hint of poignant nostalgia when I didn’t have a care in the world, when life was easier. I miss being a kid, but I’m grateful for where I am. Thank you Koji Kondo for your talent and thank you Nintendo for this masterpiece of gaming art.
I will never thank enough my older cousin for showing mi Legend of Zelda. And for being patient enough to teach me how to play it and it's history and lore. Thank you for letting me grow up with this amazing saga.
25th, huh? I think it was roughly 8 years ago that I played this game for the first time. I still remember a lot of the secrets and all of the dungeons.
The title theme reminds me of my brother who passed away that I never got meet due to me being to young however I was told from a young age that oot was one of he’s favorite games also the one he didn’t get to finish so began 6 year old me to play/finish my first game for him....ever since then I’ve been a big fan but a part of me plays them for him
It's incredible what the n64 could do in the right hands. Just look at how incredible it is, so atmospheric. And such (well earned) confidence to have such a wistful, almost somber, introduction. Is this the last Nintendo game where everything came together perfectly? There have been good games since but nothing hit in this way, it wasn't just another game, and it's just 3d Link to The Past. Miyamoto and Kondo at the height of their powers, neither matching this again.
