This is so true. Sometimes I feel like I get really lost in my thoughts and anxiety, that I forget to take a break and remind myself that it's ok to feel like that. ✨
Life isn't bad because you do exist man. Relish that, enjoy your experiences and understand the bad is there so you can appreciate the good. I'm sure all of yoh are amazing in ways you haven't realized. Our journey isn't as grand as Link's journey, but its our own journey.
I make sure not to listen to it when I'm depressed because I don't want to listen to it and not feel good. I make sure I'm susceptible to good feels because I have such a strong nostalgic attachment to it and I don't want to ruin that by listening to it and not feeling that nostalgia/anything at all. Then on future listens I'll be reminded of the time I listened to it and didn't enjoy it and it'll be "tainted". Depression sucks.
Same here. At least the one i got close to completing. The first zelda game i saw was ocarina from my older brother. That opening music still ingrained
@@hmuphilly9129 Definitely not. They meant that this song makes traversing the overworld much more enjoyable, even if you're not doing all that much, i.e. going in straight line
Got Windwaker with my twin brother at Target back in 04'. We had no idea what The Legend of Zelda was at the time, but everytime we figured out a puzzle, cleared a dungeon, or got a new area on our sea chart we were so ecstatic. Been a huge Zelda fan ever since, and while Wind Waker isn't my favorite zelda game of all time, it'll always have a special place in my heart. (My favorites are a fourway tie between Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, and Tears of the Kingdom)
This is engraved in my mind after playing this for a straight year and completing the sea chart. There's a lot of stuff in my life I don't have but at least I'll always be able to cherish these memories. Love you guys, sea you around.
@@utkanbaskadem7904 "baby game" argument? Art style? Maybe it takes some getting used to but hey, it's grand and wonderous just as you'd come to expect 🤷♂️
yea back then i was on vacation at sea. Playing on the beach in the afternoon and playing wind waker in the morning and evening. amazing times. Zelda games aren't just games they're an experience and that experience will stay with me till i die.
@@Feniksds exactly, there’s literally no other game that captures the imagination and adventurous spirit of youth quite like Zelda games, especially the early 3D ones
If they do port it, I want them to actually complete the game. Because as good as WW is, apparently it's unfinished. Like, there was supposed to be another dungeon or two or three. If I had my way, they'd make it a port of the original (but finished), not the HD remake.
Got this on the gamecube for my 9th birthday. Ive played it yearly for a decade. I play sea of thieves now, and this song echoes in the memories of my mind EVERY time i drop sail. I wouldnt have it any other way
Nothing will ever hit home just like The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker but very few games come close to it: First being Sea of Thieves and second Valheim, both great games with the same idea. Always and will love Windwaker!
The Wind Waker was a special moment in gaming history, and I believe we owe a lot of that to its soundtrack. Every single track fits exactly the emotion it's supposed to, and this one swells up in the chest and exemplifies one word: Adventure.
I was a 2000’s DS kid and played Phantom Hourglass before ever playing Wind Waker. Hearing the Wind Waker ocean theme always fucks me up because it sounds like a wrong version of Phantom Hourglass’s theme 😂
Whats really crazy is that the original music in one of the Wind Waker trailers had the same intro as the one in phantom hourglass, the one in this trailer: th-cam.com/video/BP42wusaHJI/w-d-xo.html
My only Zelda game I’ve ever played has been breath of the wild (and age of calamity, though I don’t really think that counts) so I desperately hope that Zelda gets the same treatment (albeit a lot better) that Mario’s 35th anniversary got so I can finally experience these amazing games for myself
Mario 35th was kind of a letdown, yes. I partially blame the Pandemic for ruining the celebration. Zelda got its Skyward Sword port. I was definitely EXCITED for it. It was a game I've been wanting to play since forever. Will we see another Zelda-related reveal (not counting BOTW 2)? I don't know. Let's see on the Treehouse!! :D
I love that the original trumpets aren't as loud, that way the theme feels less cartoony and more balanced. It also adds to the moments where you go through a storm as the violins play, or when the bass kicks in when you open a chest during the setting sun. It's even better when you hear it start up as the sun rises again.
God I love this music. It’s makes me feel so excited and alive. It fits so well sailing through the vast open seas with the bright and colorful graphics of Wind Waker (especially the HD version). Makes me feel like it’s a nice summer day at the waterpark.
well they used it in arcane adventures for the sea theme too which he made in 2015 so he reused it to bring everyone back to those days and its just a really good sea theme
I remember back when i was a kid my brother and i would play this game every day, though i was doing more watching than playing lol, but this brings me back to those sleepless nights as a little kid with no worries in the world
I always listen to this at least once when I travel to pay homage to one of the franchises that has instilled me with a sense of adventure and wanting to explore. Yea, I know it's dorky af but Zelda along with other games have inspired me to travel to over 20 countries and 25 states in the US. As a kid the exploration aspect of games always awed me and I guess it just stuck with me into adulthood.
I always put this song on when I'm on the freeway. Literally the perfect freeway song. Window HAS to be down. The freeway is the modern man's ocean. You guys have to try it.
Any hyrule field theme is good for backroads or interstates. Driving through Utah in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains to the twilight princess hyrule field kicks so much ass. But this one does fit better for highway/freeway driving
it was the sea theme of the classic game that started it all Arcane Adventures so they reused it and its very nice to be hearing it again after so long
I’m actually on the deck of a boat in the Aegean Sea listening to this on my headphones, it makes me want to become a sailer ⛵️ Wind waker was one of the best game of my life !
Who else gets this song stuck in their head whenever... A. Going on a boat B. Walking by the ocean C. Exploring a real-world area you've not yet charted?
The Wind Waker was the artistic peak of the Zelda series until Breath of the Wild came along, and the music was a big reason why. None in the game was better than this tune.
I don't find the Great Sea nearly as egregious as some people do, but I can certainly see that this is the reason why. That's really what it comes down to; without this music, I wouldn't enjoy sailing nearly as much, but that's a good thing! They really knew how important it was and how to fit the feeling of a seafaring journey. ADVENTURE! YEAAAAAAAAH!
Played this game for the first time about a year ago at 26 years old, no attachment or nostalgia (I never played any Zelda games as a kid) and this is one of the only games I've played in recent years that's stuck with me. I think it can truly be called a masterpiece because it's so impactful to a completely new player even being as old as it is, a timeless classic even more so than any of the other Zelda games. I tried all of them and the only ones able to hook me to the point where I completed them are Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild. Going to play Tears of the Kingdom soon, I'm glad this series exists.
This song is the epitome of adventure, the essence of exploration, more than any other Zelda song, play this looking out the window of a car, train or dare I say a boat! Speeding along and tell me you don’t feel ALIVE ❤
I had my first boat trip recently. This song came to my mind first, played this on the deck while sailing across through the cloudy, rippling vast sea with a few rocky forested islands on the other side. It was one of the greatest experience I've had in my life.
Turning off my GameCube to go eat dinner and watch nickelodeon shows while I ate, like Invader zim, yu gi oh, catdog and hey Arnold, then get ready to go back and play more Zelda
This theme was from a Roblox game I used to play in 2015 called "Arcane Adventures" the game is one of the best roblox rpg games ever and it holds a very special place in my heart

my first zelda game, this theme brings back many memories
It was my first one too. Such a great game. If I hadn’t started on such a good Zelda game I might’ve not gotten so invested in the franchise.
Same here. At least the one i got close to completing. The first zelda game i saw was ocarina from my older brother. That opening music still ingrained
this music is open world and i love this music
this is the HYRULE FIELD SONG of windwaker
Whoever wrote this piece is a god.
After 17 years I think I can say my favorite part of this song is how the ostinato swells like ocean waves
Can you elaborate on that? I’m not a musical person
@@mujiha The notes at the beginning are repeating throughout the song. They go up and down, and to me they represent waves going up and down.
I know right? It’s so fitting
@@mujiha for reference the game of thrones theme is a repeating ostinato the entire song
SHUT UP, im listening to the music/
This song does so much heavy lifting for moments where you're just going in a straight line for minutes at a time, which is a lot.
Do you mean in a exercising sense?
@@hmuphilly9129 Definitely not. They meant that this song makes traversing the overworld much more enjoyable, even if you're not doing all that much, i.e. going in straight line
@@alan3681 yeah I assumed that afterwards.
I love this theme. always makes me feel like I setting off on a big adventure at sea
Same
maybe because that is literally what you are doing :)
I have listened to the song while actually going on a small boat in the ocean, is quite the experience.
The composers did a good job
I couldn't possibly imagine why
I’ll play this whenever I’m on a boat.
Arrrgh I was just on a boat with Bluetooth speakers the other day and didn’t even think about that!!! I’m doing it next time

This community is filled with boomers crying about how they'll never be able to be a kid again
This takes me back to summer nights when I was a kid playing this on my Wii and I'd just sail for hours so I could listen to this theme endlessly.

Yes i want that to
Same, especially because they'd be missing an opportunity there since the Wii u didn't sell well

I agree.
@@ThornHailsnap but featuring all the quality of life features oh the hd, like the swift sail.

@@Acidfrog475 ooook what are you waiting for?
My first time hearing this music was SSBB, so you're not the only one
It does feels like you're about to explore the New World via sailing. The perfect maritime exploration theme.
