      Actually, due to the lore suggestions all around it, we probably know more about it than any other area in the game. The rest are just what they are. A town, a swamp, a bay, a mountain. But Ikana Canyon and everything in it has soooo much little lore tidbits. But at the same time, we know next to nothing about it.

    The lore of Ikana is one the deepest, darkest, and most fascinating mysteries in the Zelda franchise. If only Nintendo would explore on this further.. atleast give us a canonical book, like Hyrule Historia, but with backstories and unexplained Zelda lore. Especially stuff about Termina, and all the juicy dark stuff from TP and the interlopers. Heck, give us a whole series of chapter books explaining stories and loopholes and Zelda timelines!!! I'll take anything!!!

You can't just have a character deliver one of the coldest lines in video game history, "To die without leaving a corpse... That is the way of us Garo.", and the give us NOTHING but that!!!

    If I could compose music for a Zelda game, I would make it sound edgy, unsettling, and scary. It would invoke a sense of urgency and fear, making you want to get out of that dungeon as fast as possible.

It is clear that you are going for a new sound instead of doing the same again. It is working out great for you! I love it! May I ask why actually the change of overall sound? I'm genuinely interested! Like did you learn something else/new or did you have an important experience the past year?

      The piece has great ongoing tension, excellent use of powerfull songs to give the listener a sense of imposing dread. The piece shares many similarities with the soundtracks of the FIre Emblem franchise, especially the combat OSTs

    • @dahoraa
      @dahoraa 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hm... I've never associated this piece with Fire Emblem before. Personally, I kinda started to think this piece is more similar to the indoor chapters OSTs, where you have to defeat a troublesome boss. But then, I don't understand anything about music. I'm only a lay, avid listener. haha
      Anyway,. thanks for explaining.
