I like to think that the true ballad of the windfish has been forgotten . Because Koholint is but a dream, the memories of the ballad would be distant, no one who really truly existed has ever played it except link, the song was warped over time, truly solidfying the loss of that land and its people and culture. The song only survives in name.
@@Josuh I'm sure any Zora who wanted to play the guitar managed to make a fish guitar, especially if they were fans of Mikau. Random Zoras aren't important though, so this was never mentioned.
This comment is a year late, BUT If you talk to Toto in Madame Aroma's office as a Zora, he'll react with surprise before realizing you're not Mikau. I guess he just assumes there's another guy running around who happens to look like him.
am i the only one who is confused? i cannot hear the Ballad of the wind fish at all. did nintendo just name this song the same as the one from links awakening?
This is such a beautiful and awesome side quest. It also make me want to see someone take this and expand it over the decades. As in, all the games in which you can play an instrument, playing together to play something like the Zelda theme. The Wind waker, the Spirit Flute, Wolf's link howls, the Goddess harp, the ocarina, the deku pipes, the goron drums, the Zora's guitar, and all others I might be forgetting, playing together, connected through time. It would be pretty epic and I would love to see some one do it. I would, but I'm tone deaf so it'll sound way to shitty.
@@gerg669 yep...holy cow and I have an even better computer ironically I got last month :p the test for that one was Smash Ultimate tho...my my how time flies :D
Really? They couldn't just use the old ballad of the windfish? Links awakening came out in 1993 and majora's mask came out on 2000. Are there 2 windfish? One in the great sea and one in termina? Each with their own ballad?
There may be one explanation. Majora's mask and link's awakening are part of separate timelines. If link defeats ganon- gets sent to his own time, and then warn the royal family about ganon, then majora's mask happens. If ganon defeats link, then link to the past happens and then link's awakening. Perhaps the 2 ballads are heard only in these timelines. The windfish's ballad changes depending on whether or not link defeats ganon. Although, this is all a stretch.
In the original game it's worthless (in my opinion) because it only helps you do the quest that you need to get it and at that point there's no point in getting it.
This is just clickbait. It's not Ballad of the Windfish. Majoras Mask has no connection to that game in any way- lore, characters, and especially music.
It would have been perfect if it was actually Ballad of the Wind Fish. Two doomed worlds, connected by a bittersweet melody.

The notes for the Deku Pipes are the same ones from the Sea Lily Bell. Just at a different pace
Funny how Toto doesn't realise you're Mikau even though he manages Mikau's band.
Bored Vulture it's cuz he can't believe Mikau coming to Clock Town from Zora Hall while as far as he knows Lulu is sick
@@TheN64man What about the fish guitar?

@@TheN64man Huh. I never thinked of that, thanks for the answer!

Unfortunately, the falling moon isn't a dream, but a living nightmare, and no Windfish Ballad will be able to awake you from this nightmare
In a way, the Oath yo Order and the heroism of Link saves Termina from its nightmare...
am i the only one who is confused? i cannot hear the Ballad of the wind fish at all. did nintendo just name this song the same as the one from links awakening?
Yes, they only named it the same.
Well nintendo... that was a bad idea. XD thank you.
+Josh Maier It sounds familiar in some parts.
The Ballad of the Wind Fish also consists of the parts played when you collect the instruments, so this is also a part of it.
I don't hear it at all.
I believe they should have given it a different name, but damn, this is miles better than the actual Ballad of the Wind Fish
God this game had so much heart...
Circus leaders voice at 3:16 (aaaaaaaaaaaahh)
Priceless
funniest part of game 😂😂😂
Nice!
he bust a nut
Oh man, gave me CHILLS. This has to be my favorite side quest in the game.
So like... I'm not crazy right? This doesn't sound anything like Ballad of the Wind Fish, right??
Not too similar.
Actually, if tuned in correctly with the correct pitch, it does sound like the one from Link’s Awakening
Not crazy
It’s pretty much the Terminian version lol
After I complete this sidequest, Link somehow just runs quicker; putting the Bunny Hood on makes him move even faster.

You get a man's face, well done
Lmao this comment is gold
Ocarina of Time had the song of storms. Majora's Mask has this as its paradoxical, shouldn't exist song.
OK, that feels good!
What feels good?!?
That wretched, senseless racket?!?
Aaaah~....
Circus Leaders Mask, thank you for making my job more easy
It serves like no purpose, though? Other than to make the Gorman brothers depressed lol
The notes at the end sound so tragic
lord this is old...
but nostalgic
And great!!
it'll be a decade old in a couple of months
@@gerg669 yep...holy cow and I have an even better computer ironically I got last month :p
the test for that one was Smash Ultimate tho...my my how time flies :D
Now it's older
2:52
“You got Sad Luigi’s Face!”
Bruh, 2010 was a more than a decade ago... I'm fucking old
Ballad of the wind fish? Yes, I remember.

I can't hear ballad of the wind fish
I love Toto's little tail wag
It sounds tragic.
Great song, but the reward is worthless.
It's not i actually need it
+Not Angel Gaming u*

Ciara Franklin Fierce deity mask. You need all the masks in the game to get that.
But who doesn't want a mask of some crying bastard
I liked doing this on MM
came out pretty good
Except for the Goron's off-key drums. It would have been way better if it was just ←←←←→→→→ and not AAA↓AAA→.
Did they forget that Links Awakening was a game? It seems like that or they were just making a nice reference to the underrated gem
If you listen the sirens instruments, you'll notice some play the same
It makes since ingo is that guy u give the blue chicken to
Uh, no.
Wonderful!
u didnt need the ocarina on yor items :P but dam i love this song.
wait but... how would this actually work...
probably the "magic" of the ocarina...remember it does use time manipulation
isnt that oot
Is Toto deaf? This sounds literally nothing like the Ballad of the Wind Fish.
I hate this. You go through so much shit for one of the most useless masks in the game.
I actually enjoy watching Gorman remembering his past, and it's amazing (for me) the fact that the mask cries when you wear it. Idk men
This is a game you gotta savour. The biggest reward is knowing you did everything and saved everyone in the end.
Anyone after link's awakening switch version is here?
2019?
No 2020
Neither, 2021
Who’s here after beating Link’s Awakening on the switch?
Only true fans play it on game boy color
Why would you not edit out the messups or do a better recording session?
This is just clickbait. It's not Ballad of the Windfish. Majoras Mask has no connection to that game in any way- lore, characters, and especially music.
If you actually read the dialogue, Toto ( the zora) explains that it's the Ballad of the Wind Fish. 3:17
did your ass not read or what
Did you even play majora's mask lmao bruh
Same name different song. Do pay attention to the dialogue
3:01
That part always gives me chills and I love it
