Even if you have never played this game, this song tells a story.
If you HAVE played this game, this song holds the weight of the moon in meaning.
yeah the music helps alot in visualizing how the final showdown would look like if it were to get made into a animated movie like how ember lab has made that short clip. the part when you can hear a bit of the song of time could for example be where the parts of the movie when the memory of zelda and hyrule or when the magic of the ocarina of time has saved him. either a movie or a tv series.
Did- did you get it? ‘Cause this is the theme of the guys who hold the moon huehejeheueh.
You can actually hear when the Giants Appear, walk towards Clock Town struggle and succeed in stopping the moon. Very good job in making this!
@@Hazard33 Yep! Ember Lab actually used this author's music in their video
cringe
"Heh, heh... Thanks... You're nice. Umm... Can I ask... a question? Your friends... What kind of... people are they? I wonder... Do those people... think of you... as a friend?"
"Your true face... What kind of... face is it? I wonder... The face under the mask... Is that... your true face?"
EdgyTryHard "heh.... i can't... think of any.... majora's mask quotes... right now.."
These are the kind of quotes I repeated to my parents and they looked at me like I was crazy XD
"Masks... You have...a lot. You, too... Will you be... a mask salesman?
creepiest part of the game
Swamp.
Mountain.
Ocean.
Canyon.
Hurry, the four who are there.
Bring them here.
Then this epic song comes in over the original, no dis on the original, it was amazing when I was a kid.
Thanks for the dialogue
Stupid FAIRY!!! Don’t speak out of line!
Water.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.
Hurry, master the four elements
You only got like a couple months
The zombies are coming.
I don't think there will ever be a game again that captures the urgency, the gloom, the doom, the loneliness, the bleakness, the regret, that this game rolled all into one. Many games have showed epic disaster time and time again, but it always rang so hollow. This game made you CARE about every person in that world. We can remember them all - they all had hopes, dreams, and plans, and it was all coming to an end. That is, until you got there.
This is without a doubt the best game ever.
"Anyone can be a hero. Sometimes it's as simple as wrapping your coat around the shoulders of an orphan boy just to remind him that the world hasn't ended." -Batman
@@donovanreese9768 Cultured, you are. Batman speaks facts
That last part gave me chills for some reason "until you arrived..."
Bloodborne ?
8:50 - 9:29 that Oath to Order + Song of Time remaster is one of the greatest things my two human ears have heard.
The way one song seamlessly melts into the other is just, for lack of a better word, fucking orgasmic
@@atomsorcerer8356 considering both were made a few years apart is amazing too
"Music may not save your soul, but it makes your soul worth saving."
What the fuck does that even mean
@@MrJayberry176 It means he wants to put people that are kind of indifferent to music in concentration camps
@@MrJayberry176
He means that music is an enrichment to you or your personality.
It means fear fear. Tag bee.
@@MrJayberry176 To save something is simple. But being worth saving is something different. Music cannot save your soul, but adds to it and makes it worth saving because, as Ninjaananas said, it enriches it.
This makes me want to learn to animate, just so I can make the scene in my head real.
Just saw this comment, and I know it's been a year, but I'm an aspiring animator inspired by this piece- my only problem is a lack of scene. Willing to discuss?
@@bluestepwolf I totally will though, I have a scene in my head and lack the skill to animate anything
@@mrakz03 For sure! Contact me :)
@@donxkaine Adobe Animate CC :)
( I know I'm a few weeks late but )I wish to see this animation upon completion please!!!!!
there comes a time in every man's life, when you have to hit the like button, my time was 3:49
Pure epic
Same bro, best part
I do really very much enjoy that part, but personally, the bit starting at 8:58 just gives me chills, man.
For me it was at 9:00.
3:00 was when I did.
Can you imagine a trailer to a Majora's Mask movie with this music? It starts out with a black screen, with the sounds of large clockwork, and finally a voice saying "You've met a terrible fate, haven't you?" Then the music begins at 2:46, and at every horn burst, they show a different, live-action location in Termina, slowly building up to 3:43, where it then cuts to Anju holding holding the pendant of memories, shifting her gaze up into the sky at the enlarged, ominous moon, finally breaking into the main trailer action sequence at 3:50.
I would scream.
Good to know I'm not the only one that does this consistently in my head listening to these types of songs haha
You would make a great director cos that is just awesome.
I think we are the lucky few
imma make this well not exactly like this but somewhat close
In the future I hope to make that trailer and movie of which you seek.
2:55 leading up to 3:50 and beyond is one of the most epic musical experiences I’ve heard
I personally think they could’ve just started the piece there but instead they put almost 3 mins of filler ambience
@@KanoPX hard disagree, it is no filler.
this gets me mad at how good it is
Patrick Oliver The fact that Nintendo won't allow to make a Majoras Mask movie and we have to watch and listen to fan made soundtracks and shorts. It's teasing. Breathtaking achievements. This captures the darkness that Majoras Mask really is, i was worried people would think of it as a cheesy kids game. The storyline is something on a thrilling scale and it's quite sad really, we have all these potential animators and soundtrack artists. Allow them to make a movie already.
Rufus Greenleaf What's stopping them from organizing it and making it? Nintendo don't really make movies, they're a game company, but a fanmade project like that would be free advertising.
@@colinsmith5373 its nintendo we talkin the company that, just now sued 2 rom pages and a fanmade pokemon game, imagine what they would do if they found out about a LoZ movie
Señor R oh shit
@@colinsmith5373 The only Japanese media company that's quicker to throw lawsuits like candy on Halloween than Nintendo is Studio Ghibli. A fanmade project would NEVER get its feet off the ground.
I may be late. But I just noticed listening this that a CHILD had to experience the gloomy, twisted, and evil of Majora's Mask. A CHILD has to save the world from the moon and an evil mask demon-like being.
A child had to save the world from children.
Bad Beard Bill who were being controlled by an evil power made by adults who were corrupted by greed
Sure, but that child had also already faced and defeated the demon king Ganon, so this was was a walk in the park.
@@JakenTheGreat the child I was referring to was the skullkid and the moon child
@MerakiNoon
To be fair, this child had already defeated Ganon before this.
this just popped up in my recommended and i must say, i would KILL for an animated majora’s mask movie with semi-realistic, uncanny visuals that keeps the original character design, surreal atmospheric ambiance and contains these phenomenal orchestrated compositions. it would be a cinematic experience like no other.
i can almost sense a fan project on its way with how much potential has been shown.
I LOVE YOU THEOPHANY !!!
Never noticed that the cover was animated until now, that dripping effect is god damn unsettling. I love it though
Known Scone thanks for pointing that out...
I started crying while listening to this song. Not only is it unbelievably beautiful, but it holds the entire weight of the story in it!
Years later i still can't help but shed tears whenever @3:49 hits
Four Giants. Four guardians. One oath to follow. When the song is sung, the court of the Giants must come together. And defend the land they're ordered to protect
Vadiam Gamer It is your job as link to save them all. Or let the moon fall
You must lay spirits to rest so that the new day can come at last.
And face a corrupting power at the cost of your own sanity. Will you face such a terrible fate?
Facing grueling tasks with the help of spirits you’ve healed along your journey.
That’s true
its kinda hard for me to come back to this rendition these days
listened to it a lot back in early 2020 during a really fateful, desolate part of my life, and while things have improved a bit, listening to this takes me back to that time period
Sometimes it can be a good reminder of how far you've come since then. And who knows? Maybe that pain can become something that protects you and makes you stronger someday...then the memories won't be so bad...
4:55--7:00 is absolutely beautiful melody
In another parallel reality, the beginning snippet of that section before the MM music and the Giant's vocal resumes would be the sound that plays behind the Great Deku Tree telling Link of the great evil that rode forth upon a shadowbound steed with eyes of blood from the Gerudo Desert in search of power to corrupt the realm to his will.
Would have made the meeting with him and the steed at the Castle Town Gate possibly terrifying beyond belief because they'd have a mysterious motif to accent his evil.
Link should have not known his power with the mystery finally revealing his true evil once he decides to attempt killing him then and there. They should have explained later that he knew the entire time who you would become and killed the Great Deku Tree for protecting you rather than to gain power.
And suddenly, you feel shivers down your spine, goosebumps on your arm. Your heart misses a beat. Your throat thightens as uncontrollable tears come at the corner of your eyes. A sob grows in your chest. But it's stuck, you can't let it out. You can't breath, too. Your mind runs like never before, too much feelings, too much thoughts, you can't stop thinking and feeling.
Welcome to Termina. Joy in despair, bravery in fear, and Life in Death.

Thanks for this beautiful track Theophany. A true masterpiece we can feel deep in our guts.
Just rediscovered this. Lemme tell ya, NOTHING gives me chills like this anymore.
I don't have any words to describe this. The solemn determination, the grave circumstances based around the song itself, the nostalgia, all amplified in this masterpiece. I just want there to be more amazing works like this one. Golly.
Now if only a studio could produce a high quality short reenacting the scene where the giants come to stop the moon. This cover of Oath to Order would really go awesome with it.
This song is a testament to both your ensembles' skill and the original composer. I hear the pain of betrayal, the longing of hope, the glory of God, the memories of youth, the resignation of senescence, and the promise of tomorrow. Thank you for creating this and the other Time's End pieces. I eagerly await your next release.
From what I hear in this music, it speaks more to the side of the giants. This song portrays thier side of the story. These celestial being were sleeping in peace until a child awokened each and every one of them. Halfway through the music essentially highlights their importance in this story. 3/4 way into this piece shows the purpose and the struggle they face as they hold the moon with all of their might. In the end, the giants finish the job. The music does not finish peacefully. It cuts off abruptly, as it signifies all the effort that has been placed in stopping the moon has paid off.
cringe
@@axelarias8110 to me, When I heard the giants, I could visualize the skull kid attempting to remove the mask, but not being strong enough. Then when all hope seemed lost and the world was at it's knees, the giants bestow the fierce deity mask upon link. And after seeing the suffering and terror brought upon the world as a result, link made his choice. He decided to fight. To courageously charge forward and face his mighty foe. And when the majora's mask revealed its true nature link protected skull kid. With that the battle inside the moon began. The fight was long and hard, and as the final blow was struck the moon began to rise. But link knew that unless the masks were all sealed away they could resurface and destroy the world. He decided to stay on the moon, to act as a guardian from the evil of his own mask.
Softman Armstrong I’m guessing you’re not a fan of the game.
@@MrJayberry176 No one asked you lol
That ending... Oh my god.
9:05 - that Song of Time bit mixed in was just beautiful.
Only good songs give me chills...
This one had me below freezing.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - The Movie
Coming Soon
Best of Video Game Music Remixes no, first they need to make ocarina of time a movie...then majoras mask.
i could go without an ocarina of time movie. majora's mask would be way better
Honestly Nintendo needs people like theopony to make there music
There is a very good composer making a majora’s mask opera. It will be glorious.
The Puppet Master or they can play the whole "prequel first" troupe and build up to his first adventure
This is honestly the greatest piece of music I've ever heard.
this masterpiece doesn't get old. 6 years listening to this
this entire album is amazing, hell of a job good sir. i hope one day we will hear your work in a zelda title or perhaps a new ip.
It sounds holy, like a divine deity saving their mortals in times of great need, as everything falls apart. It sounds holy, like that god coming down. Saving the mortals, in times of great need, as the mortals cry for desparate help at the end of the world, afraid that their god wouldn't hear them, yet the god does, and comes down in an epic manner, as everything falls apart, and a song echoes along the broken land. The Oath To Order has been played, by a hero directly aided by the god. The Song Of Time, as everything repairs itself.
He who plays the Oath to Order, be he worthy, will summon forth help from the Giants themselves.
It does sound like all of Termina praying to the Giants at one point, doesn't it?
@Mahaila Hickman Sure, you can! Sorry I'm late.
@@Ellimist000 Sure does!
I'm just imagining this scene in my head:
its the final night and link is still in the stone tower temple. Everyone in clock town realizes and starts to panic but in the middle of all the panicking the mother of Anju rolls out of the stock pot inn on her wheelchair. She gets into the crowd and says in her old shriveled voice: "there is no time to panic. we must call the four who are there... the four giants!" Everyone looks at each other contemplating if they should do so or not. Eventually they decide that they have to. So everyone gathers in the center of clocktown. The zoras, Lulu, Anju, the carpenters, the deku,the mayor, Madame aroma, Cremia, Romani every single person in termina gathers and sings the oath to order.
From what I hear in this music, it speaks more to the side of the giants. This song portrays thier side of the story. These celestial being were sleeping in peace until a child awokened each and every one of them. Halfway through the music essentially highlights their importance in this story. 3/4 way into this piece shows the purpose and the struggle they face as they hold the moon with all of their might. In the end, the giants finish the job. The music does not finish peacefully. It cuts off abruptly, as it signifies all the effort that has been placed in stopping the moon has paid off.
Your work gives off a Zelda meets Dark Souls feel. Brilliant. I hope you can go far with your talents. You have so much talent.
That ocarina at the end is perfection
Chills when the male chorus hit
You, sir, are a legend, as is your entire crew. Between you and Undying Nephalim (Hyrule: Total War), we could have a Legend of Zelda movie that would be as great as the Lord of the Rings trilogy a decade ago, if only Nintendo would hire you guys to make it!
EF9001stormspotter Yes please !
EF9001stormspotter I agreee!!!
Josh JeanJacket Jaeger
Dark elements have been a part of the Zelda series for a long time.
All 3D Zeldas had them.
Remember that time John Williams was hired to make a Star Wars movie because he was good at composing music?
with undying nephalim im sure that result would be good!
Theophany come back 😍
2:48 sounds so majestic. I ran a half marathon to this song. I felt unstoppable
Holy. Butts. WHY AM I JUST FINDING THIS NOW?!?!?
Right?
At 4:56 this exotic sound is so beautiful in it's solo part.
The giants so special chants are awesome, I love them so much. The global choirs work is also beautiful and all sound design.
This album Time's End II shows Majora's Mask soundtrack as we never heard it before
I've been listening to this track for years and it still makes my skin crawl, my hair stand up with frisson. So powerful.
Anyone else getting a Dark Souls/ Bloodborne vibe from the first half? Either way, simply gorgeous piece. Awesome work!
From 9:41 to end brings so much emotion. I literally feel like time has run out. Makes me cry
These songs are some of my favorite ever I’m so happy these albums were made
I’d like to hope for more one day but just this gives me some of the most emotional yet peaceful music
I was totally waiting to hear the main part of it with the whole ensemble blasting it at the end, but the somber direction with only the ocarina playing it was an outstanding choice. You only hear the main phrase 3 times in total. First in the cello, then in the female voice, and then finally in the ocarina. Masterful composition
The ocarina at the end gives me massive chills everytime
This music calms my anxiety, ironically. Thank you! ❤
This is some Hans Zimmer level composition! Marvelous piece!!!
It's more of John Powell mixed with Jeremy Soule
@@DeviousKid45 that's on point, Jeremy Soule surely has been an inspiration for those vocals arrangements
When I die and my body shall be burned, I want my funeral song be the Oath of Order. In this world of chaos, at least, in that way... something has to rumble on the heart of the ppl of my generation, about there's still time, as long as we got a drop of health in our lifespan and, even, shine in our eyes.
You're listening to Radio Zelda... Only 24 hours left, until the end of the world..
Theophany will always be one of the best!
This is the most beautifully orchestrated song ever created.
When hearing this masterpiece i can only see one thing in my head. Everything Link has overcome and ready to face the evil looming over termina.
"Swamp. Mountain. Ocean. Canyon. Hurry... The four that are there... bring them here..."
Theophany, your work is amazing. I don't know why Nintendo hasn't hired you and your entire team!
Can't wait to hear what comes next from you, whatever it is, I know it will be awesome.
Thank you ~ Alpha
The more I listen to this, the more I think less of the Giants being summoned to push back the moon and more of the Giants coming into existence for the first time when Termina was first created after Majora's rage was calmed. Your music has been a true inspiration to me creating a Termina Bible
This song adds to who I am every time I hear it.
The hero of time's story is really a tragedy, I feel the themes of the game loss of childhood, friendship, and love are all mirroring things he has lost may have never found.
absolutely amazing.. seems so real legend of zelda is alive
each time i listen to theophany remix of this song, my eyes just tear up
Oh my gosh! I am just in love with your work man.
Majora's Mask is a special game to me, I consider it my favorite video game, period.
The way you capture the aesthetics almost perfectly let's the listener imagine the scene in their head and it truly feels like I'm there in Termina, witnessing the despair and never ending dread (in a good way of course)
Like this song for example, the way you did it was just perfect.
The chimes of the clock making you never forget the fate of the world and the people in it.
How you face the giant, while Termina is in trouble.
Gah, I can't find words for how amazing this is.
Now that Nintendo's making movies, this song made me realize how much we need this to be a series focusing on all the Quests and connecting us to the world and deepening the lore. Mario works as a movie, all zelda adaptions should be series imo
Come 8:54, I am lost in my own world.
Oh my god, epic.
WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS ALBUM?! I bought the first years ago and finding this second one is an awesome Christmas gift.
Next one is coming out in 2020 I believe but I'm not 100%
Es una de las obras más épicas que he tenido el placer de escuchar. Es una obra tremenda ❤️
Si me impresiono demasiado, creo que haran una pelicula y por eso publica los song digo yo, no se si será verdad
I totally fell in love with this soundtrack
I meditate with this and let me tell you... it's an experience few drugs can hope to match.
My tears will speak of what i felt.i can not put in to words what this did to me. Im tearing right now and struggling to write.i may never see you in life but from the bottom of my heart thank you.
from 3:47 it gave me goosebumps. such an awesome composition of the song.
I love your work
I bought this album and I dont regret it a single bit. These remixes are incredible. I could listen to them all day, week or year. I just love every single one of the songs in there. It's amazing. Thank you for the great music.
Absolutely fantastic!
This is so ridiculously good. Also, Jaeger nailed it. That section of this song is perfect.
"What a great fucking life".
I will never forget the anger, hatred, and spite with which he said those words. He went off to a job interview, forgot some important piece of paperwork, and tried calling me. But I was playing Majora's Mask at the time, and then, just as now, I had the ringer of my phone off. He came home earlier than I expected. Saw me enjoying my life. Ridiculed my choice of entertainment. And left, blaming me for his own problems. And I believed him. Believe.
"I'm proud of you, son".
I will never forget the sincerity, love, and heartfelt joy with which he said those words. No particular reason, no particular occasion. My dad was many things, but a liar was not one of them. If he said something it was because he believed it. He meant it. And he said he was proud of me. But I couldn't believe him. Can't. He is gone but I remain, blaming him for my own problems.
One day I will beat Majora's Mask. On that day, I will have either overcome my failures as a human being or embraced them as a part of who I am. Until then... I will hide myself from myself. I am not ready to face the man in the mirror. I don't know when, or even if, I will be. That's the true final boss of any life though, isn't it? The "Self". Reconciling It with what we think It should be, based on what we're taught It should be, with what It actually is.
To bear the heavens is no curse, but a titanic responsability.
Almost a year later, and this music is still awesome.
this is so powerful
The story of a hero who was robbed of his childhood, lost a friend, and went missing into the woods and was never to be seen again…jesus 😂
To come back as a shade to train a distant descendant
Doesn't have to be a Direct Descendant :)
@Caleb Kremer maybe something happens between Majora and when he becomes a shade.
he does come back to hyrule though the heroes shade is a piece of the soul of the hero of time that was filled with regret that he wasnt remembered as a hero other than that he lived a full life
@Caleb Kremer They never said he was dead lol
Just that he went missing
I am telling all of my friends (the ones who play zelda games at least) about this. After all, this work of quality better get around as much as possible.
No, Gunpowdercoffe. Tell them all.
I've never even played a Zelda game and I think these albums are some of the most gorgeous music I have ever heard in my life. Telling everyone is paramount.
GunpowderCoffee i've told my friends, but they won't listen to it because it's so long. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Force them.
Or you can triFORCE them...
Most amazing Thing I've ever heard.
I can't stop listening to this. It's so good it brings me to tears.
An Absolutely Beautiful Masterpiece
Woah......this is beautiful...
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! THE ENTIRE ALBUM BRINGS CHILLS!!!!!!
Amazing
This is a masterpiece... i haven't words to describe it
outstanding work!
This is one of the most incredible pieces of music i've ever heard and i've listened to this hundreds of times by now
Working the song of time in there towards the end? Goddamn. Your re-imagining is beautiful, thank you!
How. This is truly amazing, what an ensemble....
I like this it’s calming and i know the song and the game, old memories doesn’t change
You know, I was kinda expect raucous applause at the end of that.
The best Oath to Order Representation, undoubtedly.
I know I'm a year late, but damn...! This is epic...!
an amazing arraignment. so powerful. this is how i felt playing the game for the first time
3:40 - 5:00 I prick my skin just to hear it
God bless you guys for this piece of art.
Phenomenon!
this whole album is fuckin fire. nostalgia to the max. i can play this game over and over again but it'll never feel the same as when the very first time i played it and everything was new.
The visuals I get in my head from this song gives me chills every time. This was an exciting moment in the game and this song captures it perfectly.
This gave my goosebumps goosebumps!
It's been so long since the last time I've heard this, still I get the same goosebumps.
