The music of Zelda |OT| Hey, Listen!

Lothar · Jan 27, 2018

Zora's Domain is really nice.

FreedomFighter · Jan 27, 2018

OT will love my Zelda Anthology thread which will go up sometime in Feb or March.

With a surprising amount of people getting in on Zelda through BotW, threads like an anthology one would be fantastic. Looking forwards to it!

I saw Ballad of the Goddess posted earlier, but this is also one of my favourite tracks from Skyward Sword:

And a nice cover I came across a while ago:

Oscillator · Mar 18, 2018

Just a reminder that this thread exists. Heard this one while rewatching GameTrailers' Nintendo E3 2015 reaction...

And although these tracks have been posted already, the videos have some insight from the composers during them:

Twilight Princess HD - Hyrule Field & Midna's Lament

Noriea · Mar 18, 2018

I don't think anyone's mentioned the BotW trailer music. That last 30 seconds left me in tears the first time I heard it.

This channel has some really great orchestrated renditions. I like the Dark World theme-

Lothar · Apr 25, 2018

Relaxing Zelda music on piano played passionately by Lara6683

(Fairy Fountain, Zelda's Lullaby, Zora's Domain, Kakariko Village, OoT Title screen, and Ghost House from Link's Awakening)

Rand a. Thor · Apr 26, 2018

No spirit track reps is pissing me the hell off, this needs to be amended!

And a boat load more. Such an underrated game.

KINGOFSHIBUYA Ltd. · Apr 26, 2018

Imma let the N64's lack of a sound card finish, but Zelda 3 has the greatest of soundtrack of all time*

This is one of my favorite tracks from the game. When I think of SNES/SFC, I think of beautifully saturated colors and this song.

*Okay, so maybe not the greatest, but it's really good, and sounds better than any N64 game, Zeldas included. People knew it at the time. Dont fight me over this.

A couple underrated tracks that haven't been mentioned yet:

(Volume warning on the first one!)

lazerfox · Sep 7, 2018

Anyone know if Symphony of the Godesses will tour ever again? I missed them when they were touring in 2015 and I'm kicking myself for not getting tickets earlier.

Dunno, but if I had to guess, around the time of the next Zelda game?

They've been touring pretty much non-stop since Skyward Sword, so they're probably worried about over-saturation.

Deleted member 33533 · Sep 7, 2018

I always thought the harp songs from Skyward Sword were extremely underrated.

Euman · Sep 7, 2018

This is the best track of the series. Always loved Dragon Roost, but this version topped it. I would just hang out in Rito Village to listen.

Honorable Mention: Deku Palace

Deleted member 5086 · Sep 7, 2018

Deku Palace is so good. I'll dig up more of my favourites later. It's been a while since I've posted in here.

This is the GOAT:

Dat opening, dat melody

Is it cool to post other musicians' renditions of Zelda music? Any chance I get to post Wind Waker Unplugged is a chance for people to hear one of the best tracks ever put to games, from a series that takes the concept of music as a core facet of storytelling more serious than even voice acting, to the point where it is inspirational.

This is also great, and I'm about 90% sure he posts on Era

Edit: Yep https://www.resetera.com/members/freddegredde.13414/

Surprised no one has mentioned Twilight Symphony. ZREO made an awesome soundtrack even more awesome.

Deleted member 5086 · Sep 9, 2018

I always liked this theme from OoT:

A cover I like:

GustyGardner · Sep 9, 2018

So how about some of that Hyrule Warriors OST then?

God I adore the soundtrack in this game.

opalheart · Sep 9, 2018

Love the GB soundtracks. This song in particular is very ethereal

eXistor · Sep 9, 2018

I love Zelda music, if I had to pick one song I would have to go Kakariko Village. It's so soothing to me, it just exudes calm and peace. It would make for a pretty decent funeral song actually.

Oscillator · Dec 24, 2018

I've been on a bit of a TP listening spree recently. It's packed with the "edge" that's mostly missing in BotW:

P.S. There must be TONS of great covers, remixes, and underrated tunes that we're missing out on - let's see 'em! :)

Also, a great OOT song that doesn't get mentioned much:

Just last month, she redid it...faster.

Watershed · Jul 9, 2019

Nice! I didn't realize we have an OT for Zelda music. I'm really digging the small instrumental ensemble approach used for Link's Awakening on Switch. Really fun arrangements of classic tunes.
