      I'm glad you thought the music was perfect. I liked the music, but for me, the charm of the music from Ocarina and Majora's Mask isn't there... not gonna lie, was a bit let down by that. But maybe this is just me getting old and being nostalgic.

    Your criticism of the music confuses me. It is intentionally simple and subtle much of the time. The soft piano tracks that play in the overworld keep you in a calm state of mind while exploring the lonely landscape and also bring a sense of melancholy fitting for a ruined world. When you go into populated towns, more obvious music comes to the forefront and all of those tracks are bursting with the personality of their respective towns. Likewise, battles bring tracks ranging from upbeat (e.g. typical bokoblins) to very epic (e.g. Ganon). I believe the music is very well utilized considering how the music is used to facilitate the various themes of the game at different times.
    And must I mention the Hyrule Castle theme...?

      I think most western are not family with this style of using subtle/no soundtrack. I will take Ghibli movies (which this game take inspiration from a lot) for example, in the original version, there are a lot of scene with no soundtrack, just sound of wind blowing through the grass/hill/etc., but when it was localized, Ghibli add some soundtrack on those scene because western are so used to hearing music all the time.

      It's not a very unreasonable stance to take. My personal opinion doesn't need to be highly offensive to you. It's subjective and it's an opinion. It's not wrong because it's my opinion. It's wrong if I say it should apply to anyone else. So, no, it's not overly dramatic. I feel you are projecting your reaction to my opinion.
      Breath of the Wild is one of my favorite video games ever, so I don't think it's such a huge deal that I'm not amazed by the soundtrack. I'm not saying it's bad, but it doesn't really captivate me except for the Hyrule Castle theme. All that is perfectly okay and not in the least bit dramatic because it doesn't detract from such an awesome game.

    I strongly disagree with your point about the music. This game takes place after defeat, the whole feeling of the game is one that is lonely, sad and melancholic, and the subtle, broken piano notes mixed in with ambient sounds of a recovering world suit this absolutely perfectly. And then, once you enter towns and villages, you are greeted with tracks that are full of personality that reflects the origins and stories of their respective locations. I might also mention how absolutely fantastic the music is in Tarrey Town, Hyrule Castle and, my personal favourite, Rito Village. Not to mention the champions themes, the games opening score and ESPECIALLY the trailer theme which gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. In my opinion, the sound track for breath of the wild is an absolute masterpiece and an extremely intelligent utilisation of music theory within the setting.

      Majora's Mask was set in a world 3 days from total destruction, yet you didn't hear despair music in termina field. You heard a rocking upbeat track. Ocarina of time had that same event where ganon took over hyrule and cursed it, yet it still had the same lovable dynamic hyrule field theme you heard as a child. I also didn't hear melancholy or sadness in breath of the wild's theme, I heard music expressed with the subtitle of the game, the breath of the wild, the music of the game expressed that it wanted you to get a feel of the less artificial side of hyrule now with hylian civilization being brought to a primitive state. I can't say I like the soundtrack, though, especially the battle themes which consist of whacky primitive tribal instruments mixed in with modern ones.

  • @EbenPajanconi
    @EbenPajanconi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    I wish more people understood the purpose of the game having less music and having more subdued, softer tones. The new Hyrule is mostly in ruins. It's empty and barren. The devs wanted you to feel like link. Lost in a big world with no memories. A world overtaken by nature and evil. Fun/bombastic music plays when you're in towns, castle, or when fighting, etc. But for the most part, only the sound of nature or a soft melody on a piano is being played. The music choice or even the lack thereof is by design. It may not be to everyone's taste but you should at least know their reasoning. Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity has all the crazy and fun music because it fits the theme. Maybe even the next Zelda game will have more epic and louder music depending on the tone that devs are going for.

    Breath of the wild was the first Zelda game I've ever played. Now it's easily one of my favourite games of all time. There's so much to do, the art style is stunning, the combat and story is engaging but leaves room for you to play your own way, and the breaking tools mechanic keeps you on your toes. It's the first time a twist in a game has got me, when the old man is revealed as a ghost. And I just keep coming back to it, even if its just to ride around or explore for an hour or two. Also the way new mechanics are aren't babied to you, like shield surfing, I didn't know about it until I met the woman in the snowy mountains, and the sense of reward from that, and then finding the dragons I just though wow, I just didn't know they existed, and they look stunning.
    It's an easy top 3.

      @@santiagomerino3924 I just explained it, the game has awesome world building, but overall falls short with little substance to the actual main event of the story. Combat is "ok" compared to a lot of other games, with the only notable feature being breakable weapons and shields. The lack of actual dungeons bothered me as well as they were so easy I breezed through the divine beasts in minutes where as the 120 shrines just got exhausting after the first 30. Im sure many people find the game to be great but as a zelda game this falls very very short. Personally I don't think I can recommend this game if anyone wants to take anything away from this game as the only thing it gives is "exploration" which for me just felt barren and empty.

    Your description of your experience discovering Zelda perfectly mirrors my own when I discovered Twilight Princess! Mind you I grew up on Nintendo, from the very start. I'm an O.G. 80's NES baby. Super Mario Brothers is lifeblood to me. But I could never get the appeal of Zelda games, even after I introduced my sons to the GameCube and they fell in love with Ocarina of Time. I bought Twilight Princess for them and decided to give it a try for myself. I was initially unimpressed but then something just snapped into place and I was hooked!

    The real magic of this game is that it can be experienced on your own way and most things can be solved in several ways. You put the examples of the bridge of logs and the spikes and elixirs, I have never thought of that, and I have also saw people solve it in different ways, and it always amuse me how everyone comes from a different context on how to solve things even in the shrines and the game simply lets you do that. It constantly rewards your mind and your own cleverness.

    We literally got into Nintendo/Zelda the exact same way. I grew up with it, but hadn't really played anything of theirs since the 90's. Bought my Switch at the same time as you and BOTW was my primary influence. Playstation has been my primary console for years, and is what I use for everything that is cross-platform. I really only use my Xbox & Switch for exclusives. Anyways, BOTW is absolutely amazing. Dove in and was completely enthralled with the entire experience. It lived up to the hype, as expected. I've never really been into Zelda before BOTW, as it never really clicked for me,, and now I'm playing through Ocarina, Majora, and others. I can't wait for the rumored 35th Anniversary Collections to drop for Switch next year.

    That said, I knew that there had to be something more to it. This video has given me additional insight into what many believe is the greatness of this game, and for that reason, it’ll get another try from me.

    (This comment contains botw spoilers)
    I disagree with you on the music part. I promise you the music is there, it just easy to miss. You said there are only ”piano tracks here and there” and that’s true but there’s so much more. In Link’s memories, boss battles (both mini bosses and blights, attack on the divine beasts, caves, dungeons (in the divine beasts) and so much more! It’s just easy to miss because it fits in so well within the world overall. The fact that there’s only a piano is playing in the hyrule field is to remind you how lonely you are, how hyrule nearly got destroyed a century ago and everyone you ever known tragically died (and you can barely remember them). My favorite track is the final boss battle against dark beast ganon. You should listen more closely when you play the game next time and you will hear it.
    I’m not hating, just sharing my thoughts. Great video btw, I agreed with everything else you said.

    At least as far as the horses go, my impression is you can train them to be better behaved but can't actually improve their inherent stats short of putting the Sheikah saddle on them. But now that you mention it, being able to "level up" your horse through training would have been awesome and exactly what BotW's horse mechanic needed. Maybe it'd give a better reason for those frustrating horse riding minigames too.

    You make me feel so old. I played Ocarina of Time then Majora’s Mask, countless hours on the N64, from 8 to 12-13 years old. Those were real master pieces for the time. One of the first real open world. I stopped playing when I switch to XBox in 2001 or 2002, so I skipped the GameCube/Wii/DS phases of the game so I can’t tell for the other games, but the N64 ones left a deep impression on me and my friends. A generational defining game I would argue (literally everybody played it). Now I’m 32 years old and when I started playing BOTW, it all came back to me. You can really feel the inspiration of Ocarina of Time in the puzzles, the fighting, the exploration, the sense of freedom that comes from a non-linear story. If you ever find a N64 with Ocarina of Time, crack open a cold one and enjoy yourself. You’ll see that Zelda is like a fine wine. It’s a very good recipe that just keeps on getting better with age. It’s actually funny to see you discovering Zelda the way it is, like it’s a novelty, when in fact it has always been that way for thirty years. Open world, non linear story, lots of puzzles were always Zelda’s trademarks. Glad you enjoyed it!
