Everyone get in here!
I mean, this is one of the most important games of all time. Even if you're not into Nintendo everyone should play it.
Honestly Koji Kondo has my biggest respect. He was tasked to create around 12 melodies that needed to be played by players and mostly kids with just about 5 buttons. He not only made them easy to play they are actually so good that they hold up to this day as the most memorable Zelda songs.
As soon as temple of time started playing, a shiver went down my spine. Stumbling into the temple by accident, seing the pure white marble, the floor polished to a mirror sheen, a single red carpet muffling your steps through the middle, the light through the window above and hearing this theme playing. A core memory indeed.
Yes, please! I would love if this became a series. It's really cool seeing you jump into a rabbit hole to discover more about something out of your own curiosity and not just because it's a request.
There are 12 jingles in ocarina, in two groups.
Grey melodies and warp melodies, 6 a piece
The warp melodies have short prefomance songs attached to them, maybe a full minute long for each, theyre a little most complicated.
The other melodies are straight up lietmotif fodder, 6 notes a piece. Zeldas lullaby, song of time, song of storms, sarias song, eponas song, and sun song.
Zeldas lullaby youve actually already heard buried into other songs, like when you listened to hyrule castle botw for instance.
Eponas song gets used in ranching scenarios
Sun song is used as the "intro" notes to most field themes
Sarias song is cemented as the lost woods theme
Song of time gets used in temple of time stuff, because of the whole "legend" thing and stuff repeating.
And song of storms is a little more niche, doesnt get used as often as the other 5
warp melodies initially have a simple 10-12 second jingle until Sheik joins in then maybe they get to be about 30 seconds?
In Ocarina of Time, the Song of Storms is a bootstrap paradox: it created itself
additionally it perfectly loops into itself and lends itself as a type of waltzing music in which dancers move in a rough circular pattern
Link learned from the guy, he just hadn't learned in real time yet when you showed up kakariko village as an adult. The well was already drained, implying everything from childhood has happened already. The master sword enabled you to bypass that window of time you'd later travel back to. The well, the second in command--you enabled this future by traveling back as a child with the master sword. It's the same rules in totk with zelda, that's how I realized it wasn't a paradox. Link is the link to why he was able to be taught it; the master sword made it possible. The guy wouldn't know it because the "mean kid" that showed up had already time traveled and experienced some shit, and now there to drain the well. Believing if he goes back, it'll fix things; it just guarantees the future he first sees. This good intention is why the well remains dry and even blocked off as an adult. You made something mad, or the scary enemy you beat as a child made the spirits stronger.
Oot link is the most well meaning one, yet they paved way to hell with their good intentions, saddled with trauma that he can't get over.
There's a reason in tp, the spirits barely speak of him. the hero's shade makes zero mention of training you on the goddess's behest or behalf. There's no talk that he was tasked to do that by them either. He is his own side.
@@ShadowSkyX I'm unsure what you mean?
The paradox is that the song has no origin point. Who wrote it?
@@matthewa6027 Wasn't it that guy from Majora's Mask?
Windmill hut is actually way more interesting than just about windmills. The song itself is a bootstrap paradox where in the future you learn the song from the windmill guy who's complaining about a kid who played the song and it messed up the windmill and drained the well. The you have to go back in time to play that song for him to mess up the windmill so you can access a dungeon that's at the bottom of the well. It's actually all a rather creepy exchange especially considering what lies at the bottom of that well.
Interesting that you picked up on the fact that the temple of time is “barren” sounding. It is in fact a very very empty, minimalistic white space, with checkered tile at the edges, some natural sunlight coming in and very high ceilings. The reverb from the high ceilings is probably what is implied to cause the “choir” to sound that way. I always get the feeling that people are not supposed to be in there and it was somehow beyond the world around it. The interior does seem to have preservative properties as it remains the same for seven years in game without upkeep. At least internally. The exterior does seem to age. Makes sense considering what the temple is in game, and that as the “temple of time” it would have atemporal properties . I always thought it was eerie because of all of this though. It’s almost too sacred.
"Almost too sacred," is such a good way to describe it. I love that.
This was fun :D I noticed Windmill Hut was already requested. Windmill Hut is to Song of Storms as Temple of Time is to Song of Time. There's quite a few of those.
These are more tunes that are insant nostalgia hits. They're really simple melodies but so strong. You might enjoy the reason why they're so simple, it's to do with gameplay limitations but Koji Kondo is just a genius at making simple riffs into something so memorable. I can tell you Song of Time is definitely repeated in later games.
Song of Storms is always lurking somehwere in a corner of my head since the first time I've heard it and it always pops up at the most random moments of my life
I would describe the Temple of Time as a "sacred" place. I think what Koji Kondo was going for with the instrument choice was sort of a Gregorian chant that's used in churches.
One more thing: the Temple of Time theme did return in a very subtle way in Breath of the Wild (and in a 'not-so-subtle' way in another game I won't say the title of because it could be considered a mild spoiler.) In my original unedited comment I also said it was in Tears of the Kingdom, but it turns out the music was replaced for that area (TotK uses the same map as BotW, so I assumed it was the same for both)
Song of Storms gets stuck in my head regularly, and I love playing it on the piano.
It's so simple, and yet gives me goosebumps every time I hear it because of just how good the melody is.
Most of the tunes in Ocarina of Time are pretty short because so many of them are actually a part of the gameplay. In the game you use the Ocarina to play a song and something will happen, like Song of Storms will be used to cause a storm and raise the water level at a location and Song of Time will make it go from night to day. Theyre all really catchy and iconic.
If you want a longer version of Song of Time listen to the Temple of Time music. I'm actually surprised that wasn't included.
Oh lmao you listened to it in the video.
A nitpick: Song of time does not change the time of day, Sun's song does.
@@66Kusmu gotta go to Majoras Mask for that
@@theanthropologuy7775 doesn't do it in that game either. It reverses time not change the time of day
I love the temple time it’s one my favorite songs it feels like being in a state of peace with just your thoughts alone,Just like being in a church.
theres a small cutscene in the game that plays a cool epic version of the song of Time its pretty cool. Song of Time is one my favorite Zelda melodies/songs ever
There are a bunch of jingles in Ocarina of Time, could probably make a video just on each 10-12 second jingle, many get a few seconds more with extra instruments when Sheik joins in with Link when Link learns some of the songs. Also the player has an optional one to just make up one to summon scarecrows in certain parts of the game too. As for Castlevania Bloody Tears you mentioned, it first appeared in Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest in the late 1980's, the daytime overworld music to the game.
First time viewers are going to be very confused :D
I love Song of Storms. Literally one of the best melodies ever, and genuinely, it's one of those that will actually NEVER leave your brain. Very few melodies can do that. Seriously. I probably didn't think about it for 5 years, then instantly recalled it when I did think about it.
I also created my own Grime / UK Rap version of this song in 2005 (when I was 12 and Grime music was the new, gritty thing in London). If you're interested, I'm about to post it to your discord Jesse (under the name ForevaStill). I uploaded it to my Soundcloud in 2013 or something lol
8-Bit Music Theory has a great video from a couple years ago talking about how all these iconic melodies were created. Been a while but IIRC the limitations only allowed use of 5(?) notes to make 10 or so melodies? Something like that. It’s mind blowing what Kondo was able to create honestly.
Fun fact: the same ostinato supporting the melody was previously used by Koji Kondo for the castle theme in Yoshi's Island.
Reading this reminded me of when I realized the ABC's and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star were the same song
I'd actually love if he reacted to some yoshi's island music, game is super underrated
Song of Storms is a wonderful melody. Koji Kondo is a legitimate magician when it comes to memorable motifs.
A bit off topic, a military band visited my middle school in 7th-8th grade (for context, I’m a high school senior) and played Gerudo Valley! Whole soundtrack is genius
My mom has Song of Storms as her ringtone, lol. :)
Seeing this uploaded is funny bc I was listening to the Song of Storms earlier and it started storming in the middle of it playing, and listening to this it looks like it's about to storm again 😅
The faces on the wall that you imagined probably come from you playing FFIX, the music / noises the faces on the wall make when you reach Oeilvert sounds very similar imo
That one year I was learning accordion as a kid I loved practicing with the Ocarina tracks lol.
I know Koji Kondo struggled making songs withing JUST the Ocarina's notes, but it's really kinda perfect when you're young and learning. Thanks Zelda!
And that synth male choir sound they got for the Temple of TIme is really haunting and even fantastic just on its own.
Koji Kondo was the first that made me look for who did the music in a VG (While I was still young and not that much into music !) Then later came Uematsu and Shimomura x)
If you're intersted in earing more of his work on OoT there is no less than 5 boss songs !
Mni Boss - Boss theme 1/2 - Ganondorf - Final
Don't forget Ganondorf's first boss theme with its 23/16 time signature.
If you think of the hours the average gamer listens to the OSTs as they play, it makes up a lot of the music we've listened to in our lives.
It's not just the soundtrack to our favorite games; it's the soundtrack of our childhoods and leisure time.
Speaking of sampling, I just remembered I heard Gerudo Valley randomly used in a rancher's commercial.
These are 2 of my favorite songs ever! So glad they sent you the temple song. Many great remixes of Song of Storms from fans and you definitely hear both in later Zelda games.
And you DID hear "voices". It introduced me to Gregorian chant and made it cool before Halo introduced people to it.
I beleive at one point I heard batman arkham city's title theme used for a watch commerical. That was really random.
Oh the place in FF9 you're thinking of is in Oeilvert. I know what you mean about the room with the faces sounding similar. That track is called Chamber of a Thousand Faces.
When I took all my magic characters and asked why my magic wasn't working lmao
@@JessesAuditorium Haha yeah, classic.
I'm not kidding when I say song of storms changed my brain chemistry as a kid
This such a nostalgic moment right here brother!!! If your gonna be doing some music reaction from here , other good ones are the fire temple , forest temple, ganon’s castle etc! This game is so good I hope you get the chance to play it someday! Keep up the good work!!! 👍🏾💯
Jesse's Nostalgia Series! Make it happen
A lot of these songs are also in Majora’s Mask, which is a direct sequel where you also play the ocarina. They also show up in other games as part of the background music.
Zelda’s Lullaby in Skyward Sword is the wildest example of a returning song, because it’s featured as an entirely different song (Ballad of the Goddess) with the melody being played backwards.
This reaction-not-quite-reaction video has awakened my inner kid once more. It's as if the Song of Time performed its actual magic on me. 😌🎶 Only, instead of a 7-year jump, it's closer to a 26-year jump!
I don’t remember where but I remember reading that Koji Kondo was tasked of making music that would immerse the players so much they could smell the temples they we’re in
This melody is so strong! yes, it defeated the man at the windmill's sanity!
Song of Time and Song of Storms do return in Majora's Mask, which is a sequel to Ocarina of Time. But not much really after that. Song of Time occasionally gets referenced in later games like Breath of the Wild, when you find the ruins of the Temple of Time, but it's a muuuch more slowed down broken piano version of it.
Holy shit, the Temple of Time gave me mad nostalgia goosebumps. Shivers, man. Also, I think you're thinking of Oilvert (sp?) in FF9?
I would check out the goron city theme and the Zora's Domain theme. and why not, Hyrule field and Ganon tower themes too.
Ocarina just has a lot of iconic pieces
These were the songs that made me want to learn how to play the piano. Song of Storms, Saria's Song, and Song of Time are the first songs I ever memorized on the piano.
Also, many of the songs in Ocarina of Time are in other Zelda games, but I think Majora's Mask does it the most.
It's not a mess video, it's one of your best works I enjoyed it alot 😊
The place in FFIX where you can't use magic and where you brought a full team of mages, a very funny moment :)
Ever since ocarina of time, and arguably link to the past, music has had a strong link (eyy) to the legend of zelda. Performing or conducting music has been a core mechanic in so many of the games. Even in those that dont have that specific mechanic, music is used to tell so much about each character, place, event and even items in every game. As you noticed in the hyrule castle video, this even stretches between games, with motifs and even entire themes traveling between games, symbolizing how the world of LoZ is stuck in a never ending cycle of reincarnation
@@grimms1916 if you count the horse whistle in twilight princess (and the windwaker) I think Breath of the Wild is the first main Zelda game where Link doesn't play an instrument (certain about every previous console game but don't remember about a few of the handheld ones).
Apparently there's a flute in the original Legend of Zelda that lets you drain a lake and travel by whirlwind. The tune that plays is the same is the one they used for OoT's title theme.
I had the chest opening them as a text notification for a few years, but not temple of time....and the intro song as my alarm tone (as it has a decent ramp up than jolting sound)
Thanks for the reactions and improv Jesse. No need for pressure with Zelda or other iconic Nintendo tunes: we’re here for your reactions, not a nostalgia trip. Though you’re on point to say that these songs evoke powerful memories and feelings for us, we’re more interested in how these songs affect you, however that may be.
The Song of Time returns in Majora's Mask, which is more or less a sequel to Ocarina of Time. There you even play variations of it in order to slow down (played backwards) or speed up (played ever note twice) time.
The theme of the temple of time is one of my favorites. Only a church chorus singing the notes and you can feel the echoes of the temple making it sound deeper. Or that there's no one and the echoes inside the temple are actually playing this song since it was first sang.
The Legend of Zelda OOT and Super Mario 64 are emblematic of Nintendo obsession, especially at the time, with making sure there's a physical association between the player's input and the thing that occurs on screen. It sounds almost silly, but in my view it's played a huge part in making these phenomenal games stand the test of time, beyond the innovations they brought about.
There's an entire generation that has physical memory of the inputs necessary to play the song of time and the song of storms. It cements these games in the person's nostalgia.
It's pretty incredible that you never heard the original yet have heard it for years - BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN THE GAME. I AM NOT KIDDING.
The song's existence is the only true Paradox in the game. To be brief about it, you first learn the song from a man in a windmill hut. He's PISSED, and he teaches you (Adult Link) the song some "horrible kid" taught him seven years ago. You learn the song, and he plays it continually, furious beyond belief as it keeps the windmill turning faster and faster.
Ocarina of Time (if it wasn't obvious) involves time travel - you travel 7 years. So if you go back in time, and play the Song of Storms for the man in the windmill, YOU are the one who teaches him the song.
Windmill Hut man heard the song for years without having ever heard the original - because YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL.
So congrats Jesse, you're now the Windmill Hut man!
I don't know if this is because I played too much OOT as a kid, but I hear song of storms, it sounds like spinning to me.
Instruments as a game mechanic is actually a recurring thing in Legend of Zelda games, though Ocarina of Time and its sequel are prob the ones where the inputs are most directly correlated to what you actually play and where the mechanic is arguably the most central
Honestly I think that played a big part in making a lot of kids fall in love with video game music and music as a whole
temple of time IS song of time. song of storms happens the same way, you hear the few notes you play on the ocarina, then it goes into the full song. should have asked a real zelda expert 😉i kid, but im more than happy to answer questions any time!! Temple of Time is just that, its an old temple/church and that's all im saying. thanks for doing these songs, these 2 were my favorite in the game, them and Bolero of Fire. maybe you'll hear that one someday too lol. 10/10 Critical Hit! K.O. to the feels!
Song of Time gets used as something to play in game though, don't worry. And it's pivotal in Majora's Mask (sequel to OoT) which also uses the same instrument mechanic, so it was not wasted in the slightest!
For Song of Time, there's also the one where he opens the Door of Time. It's also a very short one, but nice.
This song is an actual time paradox. It has no origin in the timeline. Link is able to learn it from the NPC inside the windmill named Guru-guru in the future, who said a kid with an ocarina (Link as a kid) played that song and the windmill went crazy, but the only time Guru-guru hears that song is when Link goes back in time and plays it inside the windmill.
It is indeed a waltz! With the characteristic 1 2 2 1 2 2 bassline.
For your last question a lot of zelda melodies recur through the games (especially songs like fairy fountain, temple of time, hyrule castle), and especially in Breath of the Wild, most of the soundtrack is ambient versions of iconic zelda melodies (BotW Temple of Time is a perfect illustration). It's why I would love to request BotW music but I don't feel like it would hit nearly as hard if you haven't played any zelda games. Love this impromptu reaction, the Nintendo takeover continues!
you could do bloody tears and all the bonus renditions of the song on the sega saturn
Koji Kondo is truly the Melody Master! =P
Bloody Tears is from Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest. The game isn't especially popular as it's an anomaly in the series (kind of like Zelda 2, actually) but the sound track is great. That being said, Bloody Tears is the only song that really managed to break out. If you were to listen to it for a video might I suggest pairing it with Silence of Daylight from the same game? I think the two make for some nice contrast.
Ah yes, the Temple of Time. No biggie, it’s just a simple church/temple structure dedicated to the 3 Goddesses that created the world, and is also a gateway to a divine realm that contains a fragment of the Goddesses power.
Good times. For some context, the recurring themes and music plays on how these 3 goddesses have their spirit always reincarnating into three individuals that best represents their powers of Courage, Wisdom, and Power. Link, Zelda, Ganon
Oeilvert is a mooooood
Jesse? Just play OoT already : D
yeah, its probably only 20-25 hours for a first playthrough depending on how many sidequests you do and how long the puzzles take to figure out. Navi and Sheik kind of steer you on where to go.
It’s so cool watching your reactions to these Nintendo tracks. Pure nostalgia for me and nice to see what a non Nintendo player thinks of them
Discussing the Song of Storms I just want to suggest, now listen to "World of Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Like, they aren't actually the exact same melody, but when I hum/whistle one I will often accidentally shift into the other.
Zelda fans eating good recently
Go Around
Go Around
Man, I fkin’ love this town
Who’s this fkin’ guy?
What’s that thing and why?
Watch him go
This is wrong
But he knows my favourite song
Let’s all play the song of storms
First some wind
Then some rain
Then a fkin’ hurricane
We’re all gonna die
Time to say goodbye
Holy crap
What the sh*t
I am 12 and what is this
We’re all gonna die tonight
⛈
Song of time really takes you back in time...
I suddenly feel very silly about my comment on your XC2 video. I would LOVE it if you did a deep dive on a game, series, or franchise, ESPECIALLY Zelda!
Hyrule Field theme next!
You are not wrong. You can dance waltz with the song of storms :)
If you are interested in more LoZ music, I would recommend doing a video of "Zelda's Lullaby" from Ocarina of Time, and then "The Ballad of the Goddess" from Skyward Sword. These 2 songs are linked in the Zelda universe and it would be pretty cool to see you react to them.
Something to listen to is the soundtrack of Ocarina of Time but as a prog rock concept album by Mr. Pez
I’d love to see you react to my favourite song in the game: Saria’s Song, or the longer version, The Lost Woods theme (similar to how Temple of Time is the longer version of Song of Time).
You should react to Water Temple, Spirit Temple, and Shadow Temple of the same game
you hear song of time all the time though, its super short because you have to play it so often, especially in Majora's Mask where it is easily your most played song in the game
I love the remix in super smash bros brawl
Spirit Temple is another amazing track that you should check out.
Also, must suggest one of the Theophany tracks "Time's End"
Spirit Temple is another amazing track from Ocarina of Time that i hope you react to at some point. The whole OOT soundtrack is amazing some of Koji Kondo's finest work in my opnion
You're very soft-spoken. Ment as a compliment.
The song of storms sounds so much like the Game Of Thrones theme
I'm certainly not the first person to make this observation, but there's a lot of similarities between this melody and the intro to Game of Thrones
The Bolero of Fire is still my favorite piece from OoT.
If you are interested in ever playing OoT there is a thing called
Ship of Harkinian which has actually ported the game to PC. It runs directly on the PC without emulation.
Can run in higher frame rate than the original game and i think comes with higher resolution textures.
Jesse can now try zelda since he got a switch aha
Song of Storms is madness in song form.
If you ever want to do Bloody Tears, the original is from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, but I'd suggest you do a double video and also listen to the version from Castlevania Judgment to get a comparison.
you should definitely listen to lost woods, one of the catchiest and most iconic songs in the game
Ironically, you may not know where you first heard song of storms, but that's lore accurate anyway. Song of Storms is actually a temporal paradox, you learn it from someone in the future that you in turn teach it to that person in the past. This song shouldn't actually exist.
While the Temple of Time and Song of Time both appear in Ocarina of Time, the Song of Time has a bigger role in Majora's Mask. Let's just say you have to use your ocarina to play it quite frequently in that game.
Can i suggest that people reading this comment listen to VGSongbirds version of the temple of time? Its called lullaby of time and it is HEAVENLY.
Just play the game, man lol.
Time to play the game ahaha
Man.....the song of storms. Easily my favorite track in all of zelda
People in the comment section time traveled, apparently.
It's how Patreon works. You can give people a link that only patrons can follow. And TH-cam has a function where only people with a link have access to videos. Combine the 2 and you get... time travel I guess.
The Legend of Jesse: Patreon of Time
maybe you'd heard them from super smash bros?
Forgive me for asking in the comments, but if i sent the wrong or crappy link would you accept a better link through email? The audio quality gets bad towards the end and skips, i didnt catch that when picking the song, i sent a better HD one through email, through a cancelation request. This all new to me, my apologies for the inconvenience
i got it 👍
