Very Special Thanks to every single Zelda fan out there, for all your support and kind words.
Introducing a reimagined version of one of the most climactic events in the video game history, Time's End. Rozen's new EP weaves a tale of suspense as Clock Town's last hour approaches. Meanwhile, two lovers are reunited and savor their last moments together.
Will they make it to the light of day or will the Moon descend upon them?
Will the Hero of Time be able to rescue the town from its terrible fate?
PART I. THE PREDICAMENT OF THE FOUR
The EP's dark first movement, released on February 22nd, evokes a powerful mixture of hope and dread as Link calls upon the four giants with the Oath to Order. Nintendo Life calls the track "an impressive orchestral performance" and "a wonderful four and a half minutes." Featuring the melancholy vocals of the Audire Soundtrack Choir plus contributions from several other soloists, it's an experience no Majora's Mask fan should miss.
PART II. WE SHALL GREET THE MORNING...TOGETHER
Part II introduces new artist Reven into the fold as she and Rozen tackle the more sensitive side of Majora's Mask. A contrast to the first half, the sweeping melodies of Part II dwell on the heart-wrenching scene of Kafei's return to Anju and their decision to stay in Clock Town no matter the outcome. Fans of the game will recognize snippets of several themes from the series as the piece builds to its awaited conclusion: the end of the world...or the dawn of a new day.

*It is said that if a couple united on the day of the festival, and dedicated a mask as a sign of their union, it will bring luck*
It did. As they held each other, accepting come what may... the giants came. They briefly stopped the moon, then it faltered, but they struggled on. It seemed it was for naught. But then, the false moon disappeared into light. The giants stood strong. The threat disappeared, and the giants turned to go back to where they resided.
And then the two of them had a wedding, too.
The thing about this game is it makes Link just a true hero not because he is a chosen one but it just being in his nature as a person. In this game it is nothing about destiny or deities or any of that. He left destiny and being the chosen hero behind him when he put the Master Sword to rest and left Hyrule. Him doing good deeds in this game was just Link as a person doing the right thing from the kindness of his heart. He saw this world. He saw it's people and their cries for help and he chose to save them on his own free will. That says a lot.
You're absolutely right
+Jmario232 ....well, there`s also the small matter of him being disintegrated too if that moon succeeded in headbutting the earth.
But yeah.
+Grizzly Melon Probably worth mentioning, half of the people in town believed that moon was coming down.
I agree...
It's also the story of a boy who will discover the roles of a dad, a leader, a lost son, a dear love, roles that Link can't have for himself. He is this eternal hero, here to save and help people. Not to be happy with a family, a clan, children or love...
That why Majora is such a dark but beautiful game. You can see your precious Link experiences roles that he will never have.......
He takes the mask of mojo and play with the sad mojo dad. But he is not his son. He takes the mask of the leader of Goron to save the clan. But he's not their leader. He takes the mask of Zora to live during three days like a daddy who save his children and his love. But he's not this dear love. He is this solitary hero who sacrifice his live for the happiness of people.
Take also the example of Kafei. Link meets an adult like him, emprisonned in a child body. He understands his suffering and helps him. But at the end, Link attends a reunion between Kafei and Anju. Kafei can live happy. Not Link. Nobody is waiting for him. He has no love, no parents, no children. He has just this Hero's soul.
You are totally right. Although we perceive who Oot Link is through ourselves, you still get small gist of his actual personality. He was born for 1 sole goal. And with that goal accomplished, his title, destiny and his efforts were thrown away, almost as if the goddesses were done with Link and decide to just leave him to waste away. But This Link does not mind and abides to this, because of his Hornourable Personality. He sacrifices his own happiness for other's happiness. He can only see the joy from afar, never experiencing it himself.
I wouldn't care about this Link if I never played Majoras Mask or Twilight Princess, when he becomes The Hero's Shade. it makes you wonder whatever happened to him when he lived out his life. But in the end, he is nothing but a tragic hero, waiting for the next hero to do his work.
Although a tragic end for him, I love how Nintendo made his fate the most mysterious one out of all the Links (well at least in my opinion), almost as if they want us to come up with our own reasons for his fate. Although hyrule historia says that he's regretful that he was never acknowledged as a hero I like to believe he actually was but died soon after he learnt his skills and was unable to pass them on to his descendants. This is why out of all the Links, Oot/Mm Link is my most favourite, because there is more to his era than what Nintendo can tell us and only we can imagine what he could have done in his future.
I do hope breath of the wild will make me love that link more though!
whenever i replay this game, i always leave Kafei's sidequest for last, that way as soon as he an Anju get togueter and i obtain the mask, i inmediatly run to the clock tower and finish the game
@Protostar Mirage lol mb, typo xD
The thing I like to do before beating majora is a little world peace.
1. Save woodall rescue deku princess
2. Save snowfall
3. Talk to anju with Kafei mask
4. Collect zora eggs
5. Get letter for Kafei
6. Save cows
7. Save great bay
8. Save stone tower
9. Talk to Kafei
10. Protect Cremia and the milk
11. Finish the rest of the kafei quest.
Doing the boss rematches with the schedule system means you can get world peace for all the major parts of termina.
Unfortunatly I don’t do it last since I like to do 100% in 3 cycles. I do it on thr 2nd cycle so that in the 3rd cycle I can get the heart piece from Mayor Dotour!
the kafei and anju sidequest has to be the most beautyful story ever, love till the end of days
Is it weird that this video specifically made me realize that Majora’s Mask would make an amazing musical/play? The symbolic narrative style of the game would work really well on the stage requiring minimal actual dialogue.
@@derkrampus9986 Play the Song of Time at the end of each play. There you have your rewind, just like in the game.
I think this would be a great idea.
One guy already made scores for a Opera, it's really good, just look up Majora's Mask Opera or Demo. The Giant One gives chills and the Mask and Skull kids score is creepy 😳
Majora's Mask is the most incredible game ever and fiction story ever.
*Xenoblade
XERnobilis is impresiobach
0ongli while I love Majora's Mask... well just look at my profile picture ;)
I agree wholeheartedly
It's definitely up there. I debate between Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 6 as my all time favorites.
Theophany and Rozen are the 2 best Artists for Zelda Majora’s Mask music!
9 years later, and I still return to your masterpieces. When things were hard, I would disappear into this music. It calmed me, inspired me. Thank you for that.
Im so happy to hear that my friend, I hope you have a lovely day
PS. Jesus sees and loves you tremendously
there eyes, are like matching each others hair colors and Anju has red hair kafei has Blue hair and red eyes and anju has blue eyes
Princess Zelda Hyrule no I haven't until you mentioned it.
I've played this game since I was three. I have never noticed that....
Didn't notice either, and yes, I will upvote this because no reason other than LIKING this. Doesn't matter if it was a coincidence or not. I like it.
Yes I noticed that when I first played the game way back when. Glad I'm not the only one.
I find it sad that the Song of Healing never fully heals the Deku Son, Darmani or Mikau. They're too far gone when you get to them; you're too late.
The Song of Healing is only meant to heal hearts not bodies. if it could heal the body you would never need potions.
Battlesny You just added to my point.
Yes but that's what makes this game so deep. The Song of Healing represents the acceptance of the difficult things that have happened in our lives, the embracing of loss. What really hits home is that the name is Healing, meaning that we can only heal from our wounds, not erase them entirely.
What's happening with the Song of Healing in these cases is that these people are souls that were unable to accept death, because they had a goal to accomplish in life, whether it be to see their father again because of a self-imposed exile (Deku, we can infer that this is the reason why the Deku Scrubs are hyper aggressive in the first cutscene where Link gets cursed, then by providing relief when Link waves farewell to them, being the stand in for said Deku Scrub), save the people of their village from a snowstorm that threatens to kill them all (Goron), or be unable to provide relief to another and save their sons/daughters (Zora). All the times the Song of Healing is required, it's to mend a hurting soul. So in essence, the Song of Healing does what it's advertised to do; provides healing and relief to souls who can't move on.
This applies to Pamela and her father too; as we find out that he's been cursed. When her father is Healed; it's the Gibdo Mask that falls away, leaving her father to be with his daughter once more, rather than how it worked in the cutscene with Darmani and Mikau turning into the mask. In this case, it's an exorcism; the Song of Healing is providing relief to a vengeful soul instead of a regret filled soul.
the song of healing could be considered a funeral song
that picture with anju and keaton says a lot. even with the moon falling. they chose to spend those last moments together . despite their differences in time. they still love one another. love can be a powerful thing...or a tool of destruction.
The thumbnail made me think of things in the in habitants of Termina's view,the music sent shivers down my spine (the good kind),and the other stuff in between made me have yet another theory about who or what the Fierce Deity is.
The people of Termina are extremely strong,instead of relying on one person to save the day like Hyrulians do,they rely on the elements found within themselves and a strong,unbreakable will and belief. Thank you whoever made the Zelda games for giving us these masterpieces that changed many peoples lives and have underlying theories that teach us the hidden things in life.
this may have saved my soul
things like those are the reason why there is hope in a shitty world like ours
I think my most favorite section of this amazing sequence of musical events has to be 04:00 because it has that eery, creepy feeling. This whisper really adds that ominous atmosphere. If you listen veeeery carefully, you can kinda make out what it says: *Look at this... [inaudible]...of the world...[inaudible]...us all... May your eyes watch over us and your [inaudible] guides us... Show the truth and your [inaudible]...*
Look at this, creators of the world. (Mother/Lover) to us all. May your eyes watch over us and your loving arms guide us. Show the truth, just listen to us, so we can join you again
@@plutosupporter7758 Merci mon ami
Majora's Mask is such a poetic experience. From the details of how it was created to the intense themes I, to this day, rarely see. Anju and Kafei are just one of so many amazing moments from this game.
Your music isn't just art. It's a masterpiece of brilliance. Please be the guy that produces music for all movies. I have never known anyone that could toy with my emotions like your work does. You have a gift of the gods my friend.
With that said, thank you for showing us what brilliance sounds like. Can't wait for the next adventure.
Sincerely
The Truth
bloodiamondeyes Those are the kindest words I've heard in a long time - thank you! It means the world to me that people like you can experience the emotions played out through music from games like this. We owe it to the great Koji Kondo for writing such beautiful music for the Zelda series. :)
+Rozen RZN seriously, if i didnt know any better i would have thought it was u who did the re arrangements of Williams star wars theme for the new force awakens trailer.
WHY DID I NOW JUST FIND YOU OMG
+superhyperjan IKR
and i found this just now... wow..
You lacked moon, I guess?
Anju and Kafei being reunited just before the moon falls, embracing each other in the final moments before their death is such a beautiful storyline. And thats all thanks to the atmosphere of Majoras Mask as a whole. You can't just throw a storyline like this in any game.
I don't understand why people hate on legend of Zelda so much, it is a beautiful series and with almost every game, they captivate us, and they have amazing storylines. Every Zelda game is a unique experience that will stay with you forever.
Lovely music for such a brilliant game that shares a majestic story of a timeless character whom is on a quest after moving through time himself.
THIS IS SO AMAZING! I've only been following Zelda for a year and the Majora's Mask game feels like I've always known it. ManIlovethissomuch!
Funny story; throughout my entire childhood I thought Kafei was a girl/woman (my English wasn't quite 100% good then and I misread pronouns apparently) and it's only recently as I replayed the game at the age of 22 that I learned that he is, indeed, not.
Hahaha yeah, I actually thought the same thing until I worked on this track. So you're not alone :)
Anne R. Tremblay kafei is a Men
Ouais moi aussi je comprenais pas l'anglais plus jeune et j'ai compris plus tard en rejouant 🤭
I never thought that. But then, I watched some anime before playing the game (read: pokemon series, and some Dragon Ball Z in its original dub). I just recognized that he was a guy. Because guys are drawn differently, and this translates to 3D models too.
As such, I guess, the earlier me just recognized his jaw shape or whatever, and just ignored whatever hairstyle he had. Hey, maybe Yugioh, famous for weird hairstyles, also helped that. I learned to judge people not on hairstyle. Though I do still have a minor bias against the "Karen" style due to how unfortunately accurate that has been...
About 2 weeks ago, I was walking my dog. A child, loud and close enough despite current distancing procedures, exclaimed audiably such that I could hear, that I was a girl. I am a male, thin, slightly overweight but not actually very visibly (sub-200 lb by a few tens)... But I have a pony tail. Yep. Long hair. That is all a child took to think I was a girl. Weird, this country is.
@@SephirothRyu One time in High School I was sitting on a bench with 2 of my friends who were girls when class ended and a PE teacher from another class said "come on, girls". lol. I think I always thought Kafei was a boy but I might be wrong.
This is where I go to when I want to enter a new realm. I especially love how you go from a horrible terror in the first part onto something really soothing, the song of healing, to rebuild everything. Then slowly transitioning into the end credits to bring forth that cheerfulness and happiness. It truly reveals the tone of the game, darkness as well as the hopefulness that everything will be fine. Your music is truly profound and immersive. All the instruments, notes, transitions, and sound effects are absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece with us.
P.S. This video is heavily underrated.
seriously i have no clue why this doesn't have more view the quality of this music absolutely stunning!
i listen to these covers for ideas on my own stuff, only to realize nothing I do will ever sound this epic and awesome. Its rare for anything to bring me to tears, but dammit Rozen, your stuff has me crying like a baby. This, your Fi tribute, and your Midna tribute... so much emotion. I wish I could capture the emotion of those scenes as you have so expertly done. As an (aspiring) musician, I give this a 100/10. No, that is not a typo.
+Joshua McCauley :') Those are the kindest words - they mean the world to me. I would love to listen to your stuff sometime :D
if i can ever complete it, i'll give you a free copy of the album.
I know you can do it, just let it flow :3
This is powerful. It literally brought me to tears. It's like experiencing it all again for the first time. Nothing but praise for you and your mind which created this beautiful piece. 🙏
Beautiful! The "Song of Healing" is among my favourite Zelda-tracks, it's just so full of emotion...
I fr love this so much! thanks for making the 9 years ago!
Awesome! I especially like the second part, how the Song of healing and Ocarina of time's credits were put together so well. I bet something like the Stone tower theme or The Ocarina of time final battle would sound REALLY epic. (Hint hint)
I’m sorry but the last 5 seconds of this entire peace made my cry. The impact is heavier than any feeling after listening all the way through
Unbelievably beautiful to the point that I feel I should thank you for creating this. So, thank you!
What a beautiful piece! This is gorgeous, I love it! Bravo! :D
P.S This was on Zelda News, which is why I'm here, so big thanks to them!
This is the essence of Majora's mask right here. LOVE IT! Hey, have a copy without lyrics?
So much YES! How have I not found this until now?
I’m waiting for the dawn of a new year!
Majora's mask is probably one of the most darkest and saddest games in history nothing can beat how dark and sad this game is no matter what game you say I'd better when you play this game and see all the sadness around termina you feel grieve for every poor soul.. hell you even feel bad for skull kid and majora that's how dark and sad it is
I actually teared up within the first 30 seconds. This is astounding.
your music make me remember why The Legend Of Zelda is my favorite game franchise of all time thank you for all those song
I shed so many tears. This is just so breathtaking. I have been a die-hard Zelda fan since my Nintendo 64 days. I cannot believe the passion, effort, and individuality of this piece. I absolutely love this. This evokes such a strong emotion, and I and proud to say I just became a fan, subscribed and will always support you. Please keep up the good work. Just continue to let the passion control you while creating this vision. - From a new lover of your art, Koji Kondo would be proud.
You are so amazing I don't even know what do do with myself, been listening to your work for hours! Please do more
As you can probably tell by my profile pic I LOVE the Kafei and Anju quest and I absolutely love this song! Good job!
It's the BEST side quest in the ENTIRE GAME!!!!😄
gengar master152 I think you misspelled "series". :/

You are amazing and so talented!

Rozen you're the best

You're mature when you realize that woman has waited an eternity to marry that guy and link comes along and she finally does (or at least he grows up anyways)
Only found out about this last year, and I absolutely love this. The last half gives me so much disney vibes.
The fucking bass in that choir, holy shit
you know what? there's not much else I can say that hasn't already been said about your work. You are amazing! I didn't even make this piece of music myself, but I feel this squishy, good feeling inside when I read all these comments. You are extremely lucky and talented! Best of luck, senpai!
Omg. I'm fall in love of your music. Love specialy the violon's passage... (1:32). All the rest is amazing too of course ! ♥♥♥
Thank you for the music.
From 1:55 to end, this piece gave me the chills! So awesome! Congrats!
Anju y Kafei: Por favor, refúgiate. Nosotros estaremos bien aquí.
Yo (después de conseguir la ultima mascara de los novios): No, ustedes quédense aquí, que yo me encargaré de parar a la malvada luna y detener a Skull Kid, mañana celebraremos todos juntos su boda, a la luz de un nuevo amanecer del cuarto día!
Siempre he dejado esta misión al final antes de terminar Majoras Mask, en este mundo han habido tantos sufrimientos y miserias, que los momentos de esperanza son muy pocos, al final alguien tenia que tener un final feliz.
This
Oh my gosh that Zelda’s lullaby is killing me
I hope youre having a nice day, Jesus loves you
:O........ HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THIS AWESOME TO EXSIST??? My mind will explode! :D

😄🎶🎶🎶
The first track is really brutal, now I can imagine how hard the end of Termina feels... magnificant!
Hey everyone! Rozen here. Just wanted to share a preview of my new Zelda SS track: soundcloud.com/rozenus/may-we-meet-again-fis-farewell-preview Let me know what you think so far. It will come out next Friday, May 21st.
Hello it's possible for work with your sound ? i'm very interessed.
Amazing!
Also, I like how you didn't make the song of healing just a piano or multiple pianos without other instruments.
I literally just heard the 10 first seconds and began downloading it on my Zelda playlist
im screaming i cant handle how amazin g this is i cant bre athe
Easily the most intense and weird wedding I have ever attended.
"Guys, can we hurry this up? Your wedding's witness is about to be a large demonic Moon crashing through the roof."
😍😍😍😍😍perfect👌👌👌
You're incredible why is this the first I've heard of you?!
From I pressed play it sent shivers down my spine, and grabbed me by my throat. Beautiful and powerful.
At 0:50 and out it sort of reminds me of the song that plays in the background in Star Wars when the Emperor is on screen.
Is that something you could see yourself do? :D
Holy goodness. That is all.
This is my favorite story....
The description of this video is a 11/10 haha
Gracias por el video 😁 me encanta este videojuego me enseño una lección impresionante. 😊
JesuCristo Te ama
Rozen, this arrangement is so epic and inspiring I just had to make a movie out of it. I hope you don't mind.
So Epic this Music so cool 💗
oh por dios!! amo el juego de majora's mask :D
4:05, damn that's good
My god....Its things like this that bring me to realize Majora's mask gets one game [and an hd remake]
but FF13 gets a trilogy.
Wo---w...... Speechless.....
This is the Lugia's Song of the Zelda series.
Omg
