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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
It really fits what you do while sailing between islands; riding the wind, the ocean swelling up and down, with occasional seagulls, enemies at outposts, treasure markers, and more. It is the perfect adventure theme.
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 !
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 ❤
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
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
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 experience of sailing through the open blue sea with this song is amazing every time. No other game has evoked such feelings of freedom and bliss in me. Also I love how the triumphant section at 1:22 almost evokes the call-and-response of a sea shanty!
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!
One can only imagine how awesome that must have felt. One of my best memories in life was my dad watching me beat a boss in Ocarina of Time. Keep listening to this, yo. Let it take you back to those times.😮
This entire piece is a brilliant composition evoking feelings of whimsical adventure with a hint of nostalgia. 1:22 - 1:49 - Who else gets slightly emotional here when the second part starts?
Many songs are whispers of an adventure about to begin. A number of them say it straight out. A few yell out adventure. But this one goes a step beyond and screams it at the top of their lungs: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADVENTUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Currently Listening to this while playing Tear's of the Kingdom. Amazing game, but the fact that this song doesn't play while sailing out in the open sea is a Crime.
the amount of goosebumps I got hearing this again, i originally heard the theme from phantom hourglass but nevertheless, i never finished that game despite having the ability to, gives me a sense of longing pain and nostalgia to maybe finish it, and this song PUTS SO MUCH SALT TO THE WOUND while ofc not all negative like holy frig did i miss this song, absolutely amazing song
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.
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.
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/
So glad to find actual good comments on this that arent bashing peoples tastes in Zelda games. Lets all just enjoy Zelda together, old and new.
People hate on this game?
@@KiraPlaysGuitari think they mean that people hate on the other zelda games, but honestly idk
@@KiraPlaysGuitarSome people do actually, still don't fully understand why.

I listen to this song when I'm depressed to make myself realize it's not that bad in life because this exists.
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. ✨

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
I listened to this while I worked on a cruise line.
I'm on a boat right now lol
Tubboat
@@Pogbirb tubboat
Man, this feels so up lifting and hopeful for whatever lies ahead. This song just emboidies the word "Adventure", perhaps even an Arcane one...

@@robertgrays8790 Thanks friend, happy friday. B)
See ya around small fry😁
DAMN IT SANSSS
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.
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.
Now thats a memory to hold
@@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
Same here. I could sail all day listening to this masterpiece.
It does feels like you're about to explore the New World via sailing. The perfect maritime exploration theme.
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.
It surprises me how a gamecube game has a more open world than pokemon in 2024
I haven’t played windwaker yet but this feels nostalgic somehow
Same
Probably because it’s the fucking Zelda theme song lol
same, its because ive watched videos with this theme and listened to it, its pretty iconic
@@Acidfrog475 ooook what are you waiting for?
My first time hearing this music was SSBB, so you're not the only one
Got this on the gamecube for my 9th birthday. Ive played it yearly for a decade.

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.

Anyone else picturing the sea gulls following you Cawing? Great memories playing this game!
Favorite part of wind is traveling the great sea because of this song ahh the memories!!
Having grown up in a seaside town I loved every second of windwaker it was just so bright and colourful.
Listening to this while on a boat to uni feels special.
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 ❤
Still my favorite Zelda, probably the one that really made me fall in love with Video Games.
this game and twilight princess' soundtrack were the start of my love for orchestral music in video games
This is the best theme in all of Zelda and if you disagree you're just objectively wrong.
THIS THEME SHOUTS ADVENTURE!!
got this game for free since I got mario kart 8, ended up being one of my favorite games of all time. truly a masterpiece!!
Another example that this game is all the therapy you will ever need!!!
I sometimes play this during boss fights in other games-mostly the frustrating ones. It definitely helps keeping me from raging

In my case, doing something completely unrelated to boating lol
*D* ...as in that's the key this soundtrack is in.
South Province Theme From Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Brought Me Here. That Theme Reminded Me So Much Of This Theme.
The experience of sailing through the open blue sea with this song is amazing every time. No other game has evoked such feelings of freedom and bliss in me. Also I love how the triumphant section at 1:22 almost evokes the call-and-response of a sea shanty!
I came here from a video about Columbus.
@Rodriguez, Matthew 20 lol
It's between this and the FFIII overworld theme for the perfect "going on an adventure" song
Why is this song SO POWERFUL?
It's the very skilled chord progression and phrasing/melody. It takes you on a sentimental/nostalgic adventure. It's a superb composition.

This is the ultimate "start of an adventure" soundtrack
My favorite song from one of my favorite games.

OUR era love this track.
Probably one of the most memorable LoZ soundtracks, hands down
the best vlog on youtube, thanks for 600k :) - tommyinnit 2020
Man, the nostalgia of watching my dad play all the zelda games for us every night before we went to bed. I miss those days

One of my best memories in life was my dad watching me beat a boss in Ocarina of Time.
Keep listening to this, yo. Let it take you back to those times.😮
'adventure, yeah'
Played this while I was in the sea in BOTW.
Childhood memories...
This song reminds me of summer, and I have only started playing windwaker for the first time now.
My fav Zelda theme Good times
The programmers can't guess a best music for the Great Sea. Simply wonderful..
My sailing song every summer when i am at sea.
Love from pakistan❤ people like you are the reason i still use youtube!❤❤
I turn this on when I'm at sea in valheim.
yesss
i see youre a man of class
I'm seriously considering buying a second-hand Wii U and Wind Waker just because of this tune.
just a comment to remember that i am here again to watch this video
This entire piece is a brilliant composition evoking feelings of whimsical adventure with a hint of nostalgia. 1:22 - 1:49 - Who else gets slightly emotional here when the second part starts?
Playing this while underway on the ocean in real life is surreal
whoever made this is genius...
Pure adventure
Adventure! Yeah!!!!!
Many songs are whispers of an adventure about to begin.
A number of them say it straight out.
A few yell out adventure.
But this one goes a step beyond and screams it at the top of their lungs: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADVENTUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I play this every time I go on a sea adventure in Minecraft
Wind waker is my favorite zelda the hd version of the great sea is the better one
When I’m on my scooter to work I like to listen to this, when it’s all rainy and gloomy I like the cursed one more though
This just feels like… great. I can‘t describe it, it‘s not possible. Just like a great longing being fulfilled
Currently Listening to this while playing Tear's of the Kingdom. Amazing game, but the fact that this song doesn't play while sailing out in the open sea is a Crime.
this music is open world and i love this music
Brings back the Phantom Hourglass nostalgy for me
This played in 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Play this in the background while playing Dredge. Changes the entire mood of the game imo.
