eXACTLY and the people who didnt like spirit tracks didnt like Twilight Princess which is on of the best Zelda games in my opinion for the story and music over Skyward sword because of the nostalgia
This comment. You did it. You boiled down the reason why it's so underrated (also might have to do with Phantom Hourglass's bad rep, but honestly PH isn't even that bad)
***** Those games are brilliant, Twilight Princess is my favourite game ever, EVER. Phantom Hourglass was truly brilliant, Spirit Tracks is even more amazing and needs the love.
AMS604 Honestly, I can look past the Temple of the Ocean King because the rest of the game was so fantastic. The controls were not inconvenient and the game controlled really well. The story was great and the characters were awesome (I think Linebeck speaks for himself) Clearly most people agree so don't say we can't like a game due to one flaw.
I've never understood why Spirit Tracks got so much hate. Personally, Spirit Tracks was the first Zelda game I played and it's what got me into the series. Many people may love Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time (Don't get me wrong, they're awesome games) but I love Spirit Tracks. The music is amazing, the relationship between Zelda and Link is amazing and the story line really comes from the heart. I don't care what the haters say, Spirit Tracks will always have a place in my heart.
I like how Link and Zelda just stop in the middle of the boss battle to rehearse this song while Malladus is standing just a few yards away not doing anything.
Its actually Toru Minegishi, who gave us both TP and ST's ost. Most people just give Koji credit since he works under him. Even in the official soundtrack releases they've tried to clearly distinguish it was Toru composing.
@@TripleB2580 Haha, was just thinking about that! I played that in my Band class in 8th grade and it was lots of fun. My teacher tried to get us to blow into these kids toys of wooden train whistles but you couldn't hear them at all (obviously).
There needs to be an HD remake of _Spirit Tracks_ to take advantage of all the new features of consoles proceeding the DS. It needs to be called _Spirit Tracks Relaid_ This is not up for debate this needs to happen
I concur. So long as we can get rid of the bullshit flute playing system where you had to be on the right note and blow EXACTLY... yeah, go too soft or too hard and it doesnt work
@@adventureoflinkmk2 oof If they ever were to remaster this game I wish they mapped it like the ocarina was. I loved this game when I was a child but got angry at one of the locomos cause of the quick moment they wanted for their song xD
@@C-MoD69 it wouldn't be so bad if everything didn't have to be so EXACT.. it's not enough to tap and hold on the note, you have to blow with the correct precise pitch too
Music has been a really important thing in Zelda games ever since Ocarina of Time (and probably before then too), not just as a part of the game, but as a part of the story. This song perfectly exemplifies this.
Duncan McGovern Don't forget the recorder in the original! Without that, you miss out on an entire dungeon (and an easy way to get rid of those damn Pol's Voices...)
Only tangentially related, there's a piece by Heitor Villa-Lobos which imitates a train. It's the last movement of his second Bachianas Brasileiras, iirc. Edit: the title of the movement is O trenzinho do capeira
if u dont think this is a work of art u are deaf [edit - jan 2021] I wrote this when i was 13, i am 20 now, coming up on 21; and i still come back to listen to this, i assume i'll come back here for years to come. [edit - oct 2021] I Still come back. Aint no getting rid of me [edit - feb 2022] - Here for another Update, Still here, Still listening, still getting goosebumps everytime [edit = mar 2023] - Still coming back, sitll here, still listening, no matter how many years pass, im still here
Because I am deaf, and I don't believe in sound that you guy make up. Lol there only 4 senses, not 5 or 6 or any other number. (PS I am hard hearing, not necessary complete deaf... yet.)
i've always loved how the final song is a triumphant reprise of the main theme. When games do it, it's usually hit-and-miss depending on how well the main theme fits that situation, but if it does it's the best thing to ever goddamn exist.
This being the game that really got me into The Legend of Zelda. This song, being my favorite is very important to me. Although I didn't understand games very well, I usually just played on my action replay until I got really into video games. I can thank the Zelda series for guiding me into another world, another adventure, a place I can be to distract me from the real world. A happy place.
I can't be the only who cries everytime. I will never stop listening to this song. Hoping to be able to preform it some day. God bless the composers of the zelda music, out of all the music that is popular today, i wish we had more like this.
I couldn't never do it either I had to re do it at least 12 times I was that bad... And when link did spin attack he either would do them or got dizzy 😡😡 super annoying Or the microphone didn't work
Aurelien Benoit I hate spin attack and I have the swordsman scroll thing that makes you do multiple spin attacks and I couldn't time it right 50% of the time.
***** I found out that it helps to back up a little bit when you blow into the 3DS mic. Anyways, I really want to play this game again, but I dread getting to the pan-flute parts with the Lokomos, but Jesus, the fourth one is so hard to do on 3DS!
My second I think but this is one of my favorite Zelda games. I have a lot nostalgia, memories, and treasures I will carry forever. Not only that this game's music is very brilliant and is likely in my top 5 Zelda games

I remember listening to this in 2010, weird to think that was 6 years ago, feels like last week. So many memories coincide with this game, that and it being a genuinely good game makes this my favorite handheld game of all time.
I often see people claiming that they’re Zelda experts but when you say Spirit Tracks they either have never heard of it or disregard it without even having played it and i think that’s really sad because they’re missing out on an incredible game
I wish this game got more attention.. It's one of my favourite games of all time.. Easily in the top 5. The music was beautiful, that tower of spirits was easily the best dungeon out of ANY of the Zelda games. And the only thing I didn't like was running some of the side quests involving the train.. Yet I still liked them because the music never got old. This game is complete art and I would LOVE an he remake in the future if we got another he handheld console.. Maybe we will get one if Nintendo starts making games for phones
***** That's your opinion, but its a true fact that it's one of the best dungeons ever.. its probably one of the most challenging out of any zelda game, and it had really awesome puzzles all over the place!
14 years at this point and this theme still makes me cry with how incredibly good it is. PLS NINTENDO WE NEED SPIRIT TRACKS AND PHANTOM HOURGLASS REMAKES
This is my favorite song in the entire game! The part where you has to shove the sword in malladus head by swiping on the screen... That was very nerve wrecking and I was so sweaty at the end!
Arthur Nosenko The song is the theme song, the opening of the game, remixed. It has been throughout the game most of the time, even though it's called Malladus's Battle theme/
Arthur Nosenko I'm a Zelda nerd, so yeah...thanks for seeing my point. This is a great song of the game :D Spirit Tracks was a wonderful game. I'm glad you liked it
Bring me Strength, Bring me Power To keep on in the darkest hour Give me the wisdom to preserver In times of stress that lead to fear Keep me going through moments of sorrow Given me courage to keep headstrong into a bright tomorrow!
+Crona Schweetz (Alphonse Huskin) This could actually work as lyrics to the song... I'm surprised that my head wrapped around the music and poem and combined them correctly.
This game has the most character interaction with the hero and the princess in any Zelda game. It is so cute to watch these two interact with each other.
@@SuperNerd9695 I unfortunately couldn't find a good way to emulate them what with the whole touch controls thing. Or at least a control set I was comfortable with
@@zegreatpumpkinani9161the best way is to have an actual DS with the game. Emulating can be hard and doesnt feel the same like emulating a Pokemon game
Recently re-picked up this game after looking through my old DS games and holy shit it was so fun. Some sections were incredibly difficult, but god damn do I love the boss fights and music. The boss fights and the music made it worth replaying even if I had to go through the tower all over again. My most recent play through cemented this game as one of my favourite Zelda titles of all time which surprised me because when I was younger I hated the anxiety inducing moments that came with driving the train around. Now that I'm a lot older and have gotten better with coping with anxiety I had a lot of fun avoiding the bomb trains and transporting cargo around the realms.
I dont know if anyone will agree but i find this song to be the definition of perfection, this song has been built up from the moment you meet zelda, the world spanding adventure you embark on, and the final confrontation with the demon king himself, to those who hate this game, you clearly dont understand the impact this song has on those who love it and will proudly say its their favorite in the series
This is one of my first Zelda games, along with Phantom Hourglass. I never reached the first dungeon, yet this game will remain forever engraved in my memory as a player. It was the beginning of my love for the Zelda saga, which has never stopped since.
I remember when i first played it i was so in love with it, the fact that Zelda is your companion, the way they both become colser and closer, smiling and suporting each other, damn, may be my favourite
Best zelda incarnation in the series Best instrument minigame section in the series Best boss theme in the series Best final boss in the series Best ending to the branching timelines in the series The adult timeline deserved a home console finale We need this game remade for the home console If this game was on home console with some tweaks it would EASILY be the best zelda game ever
never played spirit tracks, but the pure emotion you get through this song by knowing the bare basics of the Lokomo and hearing them join, then the almost desperate battle music after, makes it so you don't have to play the game to be moved by the music. this is why i love zelda.
the song is just, i dont know man, it just hits you in the soul, and the ending tho, when zelda and link grab hands, ahh truly a legend, The Legend of Zelda, oh boy what a great game
The music of all Legend Of Zelda games are so beautifully constructed. I love playing and listening to music and I've been a fan of this game since I was 9 years old. This series has been a truly constructed masterpiece. I couldn't imagine anything better.
I remembered playing through the final savepoint so many times just to play this scene. If SpiritTracks/PhantomHourglass ever gets remastered for the Switch its gonna be a good day for this niche community
Wait, I always loved spirit tracks (it’s my first and favorite Zelda) and I just noticed that this master piece was hated by a lot of people, like… why ? The soundtrack are amazing, the gameplay is amazing, the anxiety when you are chased by the evil train, the boss, everything is perfect !
I think what makes a game someone's favorite is the circumstances they experience it under. i played spirit tracks with my friends, we all got the game at around the same times and we would play through the game together, helping each other out with tips on how to get past stuff. i think if i just played it by myself i would have experienced it way differently. every game is good in its own right but what the player feels as they're experiences crafts the full experience of the game
Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, and Wind Waker are my 3 favorite Zelda Games. If I would list them, it would go: 1.Wind Waker 2.Spirit Tracks 3.Phantom Hourglass
***** Yeah, kinda the same with me. My dad tries to understand, but doesn't exactly get it. And my mom doesn't even TRY to understand. It's frustrating!
My top 3 Zelda games are : 1.Majora's Mask 2. Wind Waker 3. Twilight Princess I pretty much love all zelda games almost equally but those are my favorite ones
1:24 and forward is my favourite part of this track, the dramatic effect of weakening Malladus and the impact, the power, THE FLAVOUR is all ✨i m m a c u l a t e✨
I love Spirit Tracks, really great game and better than phantom hourglass. This is the best song in ST. Another reason why I love this game so much is because of the relationship between Link and Zelda. Zelda is together with you the whole journey and she has a really fun personality too:D Loved that Zelda hugged Link and the part where she helped Link push the Lokomo sword in Malladus' head was epic:)
i got this game when i got my first 3ds probably around 2011-2013 and this was one of the first few games i got. this is basically one of the first few zelda games i played and i still love it.
The Sacred Duet plays in the scale of *A Major* (meaning that it has three sharps: C, F and G). The way it was written was *spectacular.* For me, this game has one the best soundtracks of the entire series.
Gotta say, I was not expecting all that much from this game, but it surprised me. The gameplay was really fun and progressively got harder, the characters were pretty entertaining, having Zelda as a sidekick was awesome, and the music was really good!
The fucking FEELS listening to this again, it makes me tear up HOLY SHIT. The orchestra was on fucking point for this boss fight, I’ll never forget this game. Saying this is criminally underrated doesn't give it enough justice. I played this game when I was 8, now I’m 17. What a fucking game. BEST soundtrack and story in ANY Zelda game for me, nothing will change my mind.
I don’t know about best soundtrack (pure nostalgia talking, feel free to ignore that statement. It’s definitely top three at least though), but the best story is pretty much undisputed. Easily the best incarnation of Zelda in the series, Cole is an outstanding villain, Byrne is one of the best overall characters in the entire series. And that’s not even going in-depth by any stretch of the imagination
The amount of times I played this game when I was a kid was unholy, every single time I replayed the game I never got bored and was always wanting to play through it again and again.
While I'm sure it's not the most popular game in the series, I thought Fi's Farwell from Skyward Sword was a beautiful song. Farewell King Hyrule from Wind Waker was also a neat take on the classic Hyrule Castle from ALttP.
There are two types of people on this earth. People who love Spirit Tracks and people who never tried it because it had trains.
eXACTLY
and the people who didnt like spirit tracks didnt like Twilight Princess
which is on of the best Zelda games in my opinion for the story and music over Skyward sword because of the nostalgia
One of the reasons I love this game is because of the trains
IT IS LOVE. My Favorite game of all time
This comment. You did it. You boiled down the reason why it's so underrated (also might have to do with Phantom Hourglass's bad rep, but honestly PH isn't even that bad)
Spirit Tracks was the very first Legend Of Zelda game I ever played, and I will forever love it for being the gem that it is
"Criminally underrated" doesn't even *begin* to describe this game.
Same for Twilight Priness and Phantom Hourglass, sadly.

why does everyone hate phantom hourglass and twilight princess :(
***** I don't know. :(

It was at this moment that i nibbled i F*CKED up
Many times... mic was half broken lol
At least it wasn't as painful as the fire sanctuary duet, that one was torture 😭

***** My fave are ST and SS, lol. It's hard to choose between Zelda games though because they are all awesome
***** I love Wind Waker. Who doesn't? It's an amazing game
***** I'm just about to complete the game for the first time. I have the GamaCube version and I love it! I'm on Ganon's tower now.
***** Same! Zelda will always be my fave series. I've been into many video games but I have to say that Zelda will always be the best.
I always loved, love and will Love the Spirit Tracks. after that maybe Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker maybe
Fun fact, during the rehearsal, if you just wail on the notes like a mad man, zelda will turn and stare at you until you chill out!
That’s pretty funny!😂
I like how Link and Zelda just stop in the middle of the boss battle to rehearse this song while Malladus is standing just a few yards away not doing anything.
Ha! Yeah I though that was pretty weird too!
Malladus: That's a pretty song...wait, it's supposed to destroy me--SHIT!
i think its the same thing that happened in TP. link and zelda were temporarily transported to another dimension for this.
yeah that was stupid
did you not realize that the ground below them turned into a "safe zone?"
I was so scared that I could mess up at that important moment...
Makes you feel like you're actually playing on a big orchestra...
Ikr? The first time I played this as a kid I messed up and thought Zelda would die XD I was like NOOOOOOOO
+Xinghua Lu Technically, Zelda died in the beginning of the game and got her body back AFTER this battle, but...
+The Hylian Gamer
*Spirit removed, she didn't really die
+Kanato Izumiya Don't be. I spent a half hour as a kid just trying to get it right.
I played the game so many times that I never screwed up, just memorized them I guess
I've got an eargasm.
Thank you -Koji Kondo- Minegishi!
Jajaj!
+Chazz949 I think it wasn't composed by him (although most probably he did supervise it).
Doesn't matter, though. It still kicks ass!
+XanderVJ Description.
Its actually Toru Minegishi, who gave us both TP and ST's ost. Most people just give Koji credit since he works under him. Even in the official soundtrack releases they've tried to clearly distinguish it was Toru composing.
Even so, our thanks go to both Minegishi and Kondo, along with the rest of the Nintendo team.
No one ever really talks about spirit tracks which is a shame because I feel this game has the best music in the series(this being the best song)
Uh huh!
Yah, also Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time have absolutely beautiful sound tracks
Honestly I like all the soundtracks especially some skyward sword and twilight princess but the DS games all the way!
I agree, but let me just say I hate initiating this song with a burning passion!
IKR
BEST. ZELDA. FINAL BOSS THEME.
Ocarina of Time's was also pretty sick but I can't decide between the two.
agree
I personnaly love Bellumbeck fight theme
EASILY.
no lineback when he fuses with the boss thats a good them but the boss fight was too easy
I’ll never get over the charm of the cymbal crash imitating a train, just ties the song all up in a nice little bow.
the cymbal players arms were probably tired after this though
And the drums sounding like an engine, it's so well done
If you think that's cool, listen to The Great Locomotive Chase

Colin Parlett There has been an instrument since the first Zelda game.
+Colin Parlett ever since the beginning, the main theme is the best music in gaming
there's something about the way the cymbal crashes sounding like a train blowing steam that drives me absolutely insane it's so perfect
Woah I didn’t even notice that! Everything about this song is incredible
Only tangentially related, there's a piece by Heitor Villa-Lobos which imitates a train. It's the last movement of his second Bachianas Brasileiras, iirc.
Edit: the title of the movement is O trenzinho do capeira
In the game it wasn't actually there until the final part where zelda rushes to you to help kill malladus and i think that made it even better

*****
That's your opinion, but its a true fact that it's one of the best dungeons ever.. its probably one of the most challenging out of any zelda game, and it had really awesome puzzles all over the place!
Davin Drachenberg I love it, i t was just too easy
Davin Drachenberg I'd have to disagree, the best dungeon of any Zelda game has to be Ganon's Tower from A Link to The Past, heheheh....
erm no
14 years at this point and this theme still makes me cry with how incredibly good it is. PLS NINTENDO WE NEED SPIRIT TRACKS AND PHANTOM HOURGLASS REMAKES
YES ! PLEASE !!!
It's gonna happen !! The next switch 2 will do that !

Wait...so you're telling me they aren't?
Think about it...
SOMEBODY HAD TO WRITE THE SHEET MUSIC.
THIS. IS. BLOODY. GOOD.
Ok but like. I needed to chill out.
@@kodered59 - Nah bruh.
I think I can safely say, so far, all the Toon Link games were good.
Dan Fortesque all the Zelda games are good, well except *Cough* CDI *Cough*
francpikamon don't speak of them...
*flashbacks*
Heedfulconch3 oh boy!
francpikamon we don't speck of that
I mostly agree, but Phantom Hourglass was kind of meh for me.
the transition from the song into the final boss theme was so hype
This is my favorite song in the entire game! The part where you has to shove the sword in malladus head by swiping on the screen... That was very nerve wrecking and I was so sweaty at the end!
This song is the theme of the entire game XD
Umm no not really, it's Malladus battle theme. Well I guess the beginning could be a remix of the game song.
Arthur Nosenko The song is the theme song, the opening of the game, remixed. It has been throughout the game most of the time, even though it's called Malladus's Battle theme/
@jeanna86x Hmm I guess you're right. Oh now I remember!! You're right it was!!
Arthur Nosenko I'm a Zelda nerd, so yeah...thanks for seeing my point. This is a great song of the game :D Spirit Tracks was a wonderful game. I'm glad you liked it
Bring me Strength, Bring me Power
To keep on in the darkest hour
Give me the wisdom to preserver
In times of stress that lead to fear
Keep me going through moments of sorrow
Given me courage to keep headstrong into a bright tomorrow!
Holy crap, that's some poetry.
+Crona Schweetz (Alphonse Huskin) This could actually work as lyrics to the song... I'm surprised that my head wrapped around the music and poem and combined them correctly.
Can I use your poem
Link The Shy Guy sure
Crona Schweetz thanks bro
Try doing the duet part in the car ITS A NIGHTMARE
I KNOW RIGHT!!??!!
WHY IS THAT??
..... Uh I've done all of the Lokomo songs in meh car. Haven't done the Duet yet..... oh god
I know! Must be the ac.
Dont forget using the whirlwind. It was a nightmare, the forest temple...
Think I did in car it was hard
zelda sounds like a vocaloid
True!
Which one ? her voice sounds a bit like miku but also like kagamine rin
You are right my friend
hatsune Miku appearing as Zelda in Zelda Wii u confirmed
In hl3 too
This game has the most character interaction with the hero and the princess in any Zelda game. It is so cute to watch these two interact with each other.
This is my favourite song in the entire zelda franchise. THERE. I SAID IT. GO ON FANBOYS. RAGE.
Well yeah, it is one of the best, wish they could remake it with the orchestra
Yeah, The duet and the king of the ocean theme from phantom hourglass!
nintendoh plz
Majoras mask Theme Song there I said it its my fav zelda song
you're not allone my friend!
0:08 this right here is referenced in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom final trailer. It’s the theme of the beginning of the trailer.
It's even in the Ancient Zora Facility song, which is really cool!
@@blaz9474 is that TotK? I haven’t gotten there yet
@@LightningSword13 Yeah, without spoiling anything, it's simply an area in the Zora quest line. You can't miss it.
Best Zelda game with Wind waker and Minish cap... yes im a toon link addict xD
YTRoflcopter Toon Link = The Best Link
YTRoflcopter Me too :3
Dat link isn't a toon(Minish Link)
I guess he does look toony...
but he's before wind wkaer
Dat link isn't a toon(Minish Link)
I guess he does look toony...
but he's before wind wkaer
YoungToyFreddy dont know about the timeline, but the game came out after wind waker and MC obviously takes the Artstyle of WW
I'm a massive Zelda fan, and I still haven't played Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks, but hearing this amazing theme inspired me to.
you definitely should if you haven't yet! I really think they're amazing games
How was it?
@@SuperNerd9695 I unfortunately couldn't find a good way to emulate them what with the whole touch controls thing. Or at least a control set I was comfortable with
@@zegreatpumpkinani9161 howbout emulating on a mobile?
just finished Spirit Tracks a while ago with an android tablet
@@zegreatpumpkinani9161the best way is to have an actual DS with the game. Emulating can be hard and doesnt feel the same like emulating a Pokemon game
ITS BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE IVE PLAYED THIS GAME AND I STILL CRY TO THIS SONG
I would cry more
1:24 As epic as the HELL!
HO YEAH !
Yes, I always hold my breath there SO EPIC!
+TheFloxLP it's like "R, U, FOOKIN', REDIII1?"
Ikr
well of course. this is where zelda singing transfers into the final fight
... m-my... nostalgia...
//melts
This game is so good you get nostalgic about it even tho only 5 years have passed.
Same.
Same😭. It was my childhood.
@@INRamos13 5 years is a lot if you're a teen.
When the whole band hits that high note at 1:05 I genuinely get shivers
Recently re-picked up this game after looking through my old DS games and holy shit it was so fun. Some sections were incredibly difficult, but god damn do I love the boss fights and music. The boss fights and the music made it worth replaying even if I had to go through the tower all over again. My most recent play through cemented this game as one of my favourite Zelda titles of all time which surprised me because when I was younger I hated the anxiety inducing moments that came with driving the train around. Now that I'm a lot older and have gotten better with coping with anxiety I had a lot of fun avoiding the bomb trains and transporting cargo around the realms.
finally, a comment made less than 1 year ago!
Every f****** second of this song brings back memories of a good times back when things were simple
I dont know if anyone will agree but i find this song to be the definition of perfection, this song has been built up from the moment you meet zelda, the world spanding adventure you embark on, and the final confrontation with the demon king himself, to those who hate this game, you clearly dont understand the impact this song has on those who love it and will proudly say its their favorite in the series
For me spirit tracks is 2nd place just because of links Awakening but definetly like the music in spirit tracks more
This is one of my first Zelda games, along with Phantom Hourglass. I never reached the first dungeon, yet this game will remain forever engraved in my memory as a player. It was the beginning of my love for the Zelda saga, which has never stopped since.
All this needs is a concert band arrangement!
lonny grice there is. Look for the Symphony of the goddesses second quest. Its outstanding
totally.
I remember when i first played it i was so in love with it, the fact that Zelda is your companion, the way they both become colser and closer, smiling and suporting each other, damn, may be my favourite
Definitely this game has such amazing TRACKS
Jacob Sanchez da dum tsss!
I see you Rick Rollin
Best zelda incarnation in the series
Best instrument minigame section in the series
Best boss theme in the series
Best final boss in the series
Best ending to the branching timelines in the series
The adult timeline deserved a home console finale
We need this game remade for the home console
If this game was on home console with some tweaks it would EASILY be the best zelda game ever
Doesn't matter how many years go by this is still on of the most epic soundtracks in Zelda history
uuuughhhh Spirit Tracks deserves a Soundtrack CD or something
One of the best zelda game with Phantom hourglass and you cannot change my mind. I wish i still had my DS, I'd totally be starting a new game
Zelda was auto tune before auto tune was auto tune:-)
Artur SwiftFlame really?
Artur SwiftFlame ......................................................................................(BOOOOOM)
Autotune kicked off in 1998 after a certain song named "Believe".
Spirit Tracks was released in 2010.
Seems Legit.
Chris, One with the Salt it's just a reference
Katrina Fuller An Incorrect Reference.
i almost crying, this is my whole childhood...
Henkyyz relatable
MaskedGamez can u sub to me, i subbed u
never played spirit tracks, but the pure emotion you get through this song by knowing the bare basics of the Lokomo and hearing them join, then the almost desperate battle music after, makes it so you don't have to play the game to be moved by the music. this is why i love zelda.
the song is just, i dont know man, it just hits you in the soul, and the ending tho, when zelda and link grab hands, ahh
truly a legend, The Legend of Zelda, oh boy what a great game
This holds a special place in my heart.
Can we talk about the fact this is the game with the actual best use of Zelda as a character that isn't just a plot device?
The music of all Legend Of Zelda games are so beautifully constructed. I love playing and listening to music and I've been a fan of this game since I was 9 years old. This series has been a truly constructed masterpiece. I couldn't imagine anything better.
I remembered playing through the final savepoint so many times just to play this scene. If SpiritTracks/PhantomHourglass ever gets remastered for the Switch its gonna be a good day for this niche community
I did this part hundreds of times because of the track and the feels
I truly believe this is one of the best songs in all of Zelda
Everyone always bitched about how zelda doesn't help link and the one game where she's off her ass and helps out everyone hates on the game xD
Wait, I always loved spirit tracks (it’s my first and favorite Zelda) and I just noticed that this master piece was hated by a lot of people, like… why ? The soundtrack are amazing, the gameplay is amazing, the anxiety when you are chased by the evil train, the boss, everything is perfect !
I agree only its not my 1st its my 6th zelda game. but yeah over all this was my fav
I think what makes a game someone's favorite is the circumstances they experience it under. i played spirit tracks with my friends, we all got the game at around the same times and we would play through the game together, helping each other out with tips on how to get past stuff. i think if i just played it by myself i would have experienced it way differently. every game is good in its own right but what the player feels as they're experiences crafts the full experience of the game
Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, and Wind Waker are my 3 favorite Zelda Games. If I would list them, it would go:
1.Wind Waker
2.Spirit Tracks
3.Phantom Hourglass
***** It would, wouldn't it?
***** Yeah, kinda the same with me. My dad tries to understand, but doesn't exactly get it. And my mom doesn't even TRY to understand. It's frustrating!
+Ashley Cramer-Pines windwaker is also my top favorite
PIXELATOR2634 Join our club!
My top 3 Zelda games are :
1.Majora's Mask
2. Wind Waker
3. Twilight Princess
I pretty much love all zelda games almost equally but those are my favorite ones
1:24 and forward is my favourite part of this track, the dramatic effect of weakening Malladus and the impact, the power, THE FLAVOUR is all ✨i m m a c u l a t e✨
The way it transitions into the final boss theme sends chills down my spine every time.
I love Spirit Tracks, really great game and better than phantom hourglass. This is the best song in ST. Another reason why I love this game so much is because of the relationship between Link and Zelda. Zelda is together with you the whole journey and she has a really fun personality too:D Loved that Zelda hugged Link and the part where she helped Link push the Lokomo sword in Malladus' head was epic:)
I think you guys have convinced me to find a copy of this game and play it on my wife's DS she gave me. Wow.
can’t believe the zelda community ignores this game when this masterpiece is right here
This is so beautiful....especially the very beginning right before the flute comes in.
This would make an awesome ringtone.
This would make an awesome anything, even something to play at a funeral. Okay, maybe not, but still.
Excessive amounts of D U W A N G If played at a funeral there could be a chance to become a ghost and sing this with a friend
Haven't listened to this in like a decade, man. Good stuff.
i got this game when i got my first 3ds probably around 2011-2013 and this was one of the first few games i got. this is basically one of the first few zelda games i played and i still love it.
The Sacred Duet plays in the scale of *A Major* (meaning that it has three sharps: C, F and G). The way it was written was *spectacular.*
For me, this game has one the best soundtracks of the entire series.
I was very late and beat this game a year ago but coming back to this every time gives me goosebumps
このゲームほんとワクワクした
ほどよい難しさがあるぶんボス戦はめっちゃ緊張したのを覚えてる。
Gotta say, I was not expecting all that much from this game, but it surprised me. The gameplay was really fun and progressively got harder, the characters were pretty entertaining, having Zelda as a sidekick was awesome, and the music was really good!
The fucking FEELS listening to this again, it makes me tear up HOLY SHIT. The orchestra was on fucking point for this boss fight, I’ll never forget this game. Saying this is criminally underrated doesn't give it enough justice.
I played this game when I was 8, now I’m 17. What a fucking game. BEST soundtrack and story in ANY Zelda game for me, nothing will change my mind.
I don’t know about best soundtrack (pure nostalgia talking, feel free to ignore that statement. It’s definitely top three at least though), but the best story is pretty much undisputed. Easily the best incarnation of Zelda in the series, Cole is an outstanding villain, Byrne is one of the best overall characters in the entire series. And that’s not even going in-depth by any stretch of the imagination
@@theleftfootedsultan Foreal man Byrne is the GOAT of the Zelda series you're right I should've brought him up too
The best memories I still have from Spirit Tracks is the music. Unique to this title only, no recycled music. Unique overworld, unique story.
spirit tracks helped me in my life, during years and years... you will be all my life in my heart ! thanks for all
I love the Great Sea leitmotif that keeps popping up across this song, super cool.
Wow. I really didn't notice. When is it ?
@@omniscientomnipresent5500 Think he means the main theme's overworld
This kind of music is why I always look forward to LoZ games. Every game has at least 1 song that rises above the rest.
The amount of times I played this game when I was a kid was unholy, every single time I replayed the game I never got bored and was always wanting to play through it again and again.
the best music of zelda
***** no.
***** you,.. kinda posted it on a "*best* music" comment sorry if i assumed.
That's debatable
If only the U.S congress settled debate that fast
While I'm sure it's not the most popular game in the series, I thought Fi's Farwell from Skyward Sword was a beautiful song. Farewell King Hyrule from Wind Waker was also a neat take on the classic Hyrule Castle from ALttP.
I can't believe it's been ten years since this amazing game came out
