I remember when I was a kid, maybe 6 years old I didn't understand the game. It seemed so mature, so mysterious, besides I could not understand English (spanish speaker). Yet I remember every morning waking up and spending hours trying to figure out stuff. It took me years literally to get to the grown-up part of the game. It made me cry when I finally took the sword out for the first time. I felt a great accomplishment.
im spanish too, i never had a chance to play it, when i get an emulator i was so happy, i was wondering to get the master sword, but goron's city, its so harder
Yo lo descubrí a los doce (tengo 16) Lo jugué en inglés, pero sí conozco el idioma. Lo completé sin guías, pero nunca lo terminé. No importan cuántas veces mate a Ganon, cuántas arañas doradas mate, o si abro el 100% los cofres, no puedo pasar más de dos meses sin volver a él. Prefiero AlttP, y también lo juego, pero este es... Diferente. Hoy lo vencí por última vez, 100%. Vine a este video, y jugaré a Majora's Mask, sin guía, espero. Decidí escribir aquí porque es el único comentario hispanohablante, creo.
I was born in 2005 so I wasn't around in the 90s to play the n64 version, so I played the 3d version on the 3ds XL. Even so, it remains a treasured game for me
I remember when I first got ocarina of time I wanted Mario but the cashier said I would like Zelda better, whoever you are thank you for thousands of amazing memories and making a 9 year old happy
That’s truly amazing god bless that man and thanks to everyone who made it possible to have this deep connection with such a great game only us certain people can understand
The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time reminds me of the simpler days before I had to worry about high school, stress, anxiety, drama, or losing people that are important to me. This game makes me miss the times when I would go out with my friends and climb trees, explore the old, abandon hotel near my house as if it were a dungeon we had to explore and beat monsters and solve dungeon puzzles, and simply be kids, but then I realize what this game truly means; this game is about growing up and learning that we shouldn’t cry because we lost something instead smile because we had these things in the first place.
Zelda was always my favorite form of escapism considering I am from a third world country and life in such place sometimes got very harsh and as a young kid I would often be sad about it, but whenever I got to play Zelda, all my problems went away. Even now as an adult. Zelda games will always be in my heart.
Zelda is just pure fun and escapism, no matter how old you are. As I get older and my taste in fiction changes, the thought of the Zelda series always makes me happy.
The first Zelda game I played was Majora's Mask when I was like 7 years old. God I miss those memories. Just watching dad play it was still amazing. I continue to love the Legend of Zelda 8 years later.
When my friend was battling cancer in 2018, he mentioned multiple times how he wanted to fade away like the deku tree, when his time came, I had to watch him take his last breath eventually and he indeed, did fade away like the deku tree. We both loved OoT, MM, and his favorite Zelda was Windwaker, which I hope to play someday. A lot of the things we enjoyed together like music and games haunted me to an extent after he passed away. I found your channel about a year ago and it made me realize how much pain I was shouldering. Thank you for making these albums, I cherish them dearly.
i know i might not have a place to say here, but i have also cherished ocarina of time and majora's mask, they were my favourites. Im sorry to hear of your loss.
It was hard confessing such thoughts, but every time I watched this, it's all that came to mind. I feel like these songs brought people together, in a unique way. I appreciate your words and it makes me happy knowing you cherished those two games so much as well. @@deepsea_metro
“The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...” Never realized as a kid how true this quote would end up becoming.
"Oh, you're leaving... I knew... that you would leave the forest... someday..." That line is particularly heavy in this video if you view Kokiri Forest as a metaphor for childhood. Edit: I got this idea from a video essay "OCARINA OF TIME - A Masterclass In Subtext." It's excellent, and it has one of my favorite title-cards. I strongly recommend it.
Luísa Janaú it’s not that bad, the main difference is you just have to figure out how to pay your own way. There are tons of perks that come with growing up. If you do it right, it’s an adventure.
that is literally the theology behind the kokiri. There's some Japanese subculture that this games principles were based on. Can't recall what it is at the moment.
*The flow of time is always cruel... Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it* *A thing that doesn't change with time is the memory of younger days* Nostalgia as a plot device. Emotional KO.
Had this playing in the rainy woods as I washed my camping dishes by lamplight. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it really enhanced the experience for me :D
That isnt the sad part. The sad part comes when link becomes a stalfo and then wonders until appears in zelda twilight princess.. Basically he never saw saria again
@@Phoenix_Down444 While it is questionable if he ever sees Saria again (which he probably shouldn't as the kokiri's only purpose is to serve the hero's destiny and then she becomes a sage), he does officially become a stalfos and trains the Hero of Twilight in sword techniques throughout Twilight Princess.
Listening to this on vinyl now after a hard day at work, wife and my son gone on vacation out of state without me and my dad just recently passed. I said goodbye but he was not conscious. I cant get the last images of him that I saw out of my head. I miss him so much and it hurts so bad that I can't even process that he's gone. I have a meeting at work tomorrow that is not in my favor and I am doing things to cope that are not helping me in the long run and dare I say probably hurting me. I am totally lost but at least I am lost while listening to this. I need help so bad yet haven't a clue where to get it. I am so deeply sad and it won't go away. I hope each and everyone of you out there listening to this album is doing good and happy. To all of the kids out there enjoy your childhood and don't be in a rush to grow up. I love you all..
So sorry about your loss - my deepest sympathies Journeys through grief can be long and challenging, I'm glad ZW might provide some help in working through the hard feelings. My heart goes out to you and your dad ❤
Not gonna lie, back when i played this as a kid, some of parts of the video actually is how it looked on my piece of shit ancient TV I had no idea it was actually just a e s t h e t i c
Right? Why doesn't youtube have a mode that looks like my old tube TV, where I couldn't see the corners of the image, usually right where my health was displayed!
It's aesthetic now because the nostalgia is strong. Zelda was so good that even played on the shittiest screen ever it could still blow your mind. The shitty screen is a part of that memory now
Its alright nobody did. The A E S T H E T I C is something that has always existed throughout history. Man has only just discovered it and it will certainly evolve us into a higher state of A E S T H E T I C consciousness
A game that represents the embodiment of growing up. I grew up with this game and the story, the music, the art, the symbolism, the memories, THIS RENDITION, all of it is carried with me and will be for the rest of my life. I'm only 15 but it feels like it's been so long since I layed my hands on that controller for the first time. Time is something humans need to cherish more. This game spreads that message unknowingly. And to you Mr. Pawns. Thank you for the memories. My tears are those of joy and appraisal.
Is there any game out there that immerses players into the experience of growing from boyhood into an adult? There’s no other experience out there like this game and it was given to players across the world who were growing out of childhood. Truly amazing and one of few games that connects on such a level that we will remember and fondly revisit even as adults.
The Legend of Zelda series is honestly such a masterpiece. Though nostalgic, it's music and story is so strong. Just the idea that every Link and Zelda we meet is almost always a brand new one, is enough to bring me to tears. Knowing that the Link we once played as in Ocarina of Time has long since finished his journey and died an unsung hero... It's extremely saddening to know that the Hero of Time is perhaps the most iconic and yet the most forgotten of all of the Links coming after him. To this day, whenever I play a new Zelda game and I see the new Link, I am instantly reminded of the Hero of Time and his legacy. He fought, gave up his own life, and suffered tremendously just so that the people of tomorrow could live. Every moment of happiness that happens in a new Zelda game, I am reminded of the happiness that the Hero of Time could never experience... The Hero of the Sky's tale may have been the grandest, but no other tale can be as heartbreaking and heart-wrenching than the hero who fought for the people who never knew he existed.
Unfortunate as it may be, this was what he wanted. Ironic that he is known to be the hero of time but forgotten in history. He was a true hero and fitting of the title given to him, a legendary hero with a courageous heart. Spared the people of having to burden the very thought of knowing they would perish by stepping in and sacrificing himself to save them. Knowing full well he would not be rewarded for his righteous deeds. Gave up his childhood to save the lives of many. He died as he lived. A true hero.
The saddest part is that after all the hardships he went through he still became a hyrule soldier to protect its people, even if no one knew him, even if zelda never gor to know about what he did for her and for everyone else, even if no one cared about him and he didn't have anyone, he was still there, protecting his kingdom and his princess only to become a stalfos (I cry when I think that he probably died in the kokiri forest, where he grew up) without anyone to pass his teachings down to (at least until twilight princess) or maybe without a family who cared about his death.
Incredible with how many people in the comments can relate to heavily with this game. Not just on a nostalgic level but a spiritual level. What is it about this game that brings gamers together of all types? Not only does Nintendo make great games but they have created games that every industry wishes to capture in an individual. They have captured that part of someone that makes them feel whole again when they play these games, I truly feel sorry for people who never got a chance to play these games when they were children. We all wish to play these games again like its the first time because thats how incredibly captivating they are. NO OTHER FRANCHISE HAS ANYTHING CLOSE TO BEING THIS GREAT. When we die i hope i can relive these memories again, I would kill for that and i would kill to live through an adventure that link goes through. For those who read this, why are these games just so amazing? Ive played so many video games in my time but time and time again the zelda series is just unbelievably incomparable to any experience!
Hey man, I know it's a late reply, but since this game is timeless, so is this comment haha. I think the reason that so many people resonate with this game on a spiritual level is because it has such a beautiful atmosphere. You control a character that is trying to save the world, and in doing so you get on an exciting adventure and you make good friends and relationships while doing that and in pursuing what is meaningful. It is truly such a deep need for every human to want to live an interesting and fulfilling life, and when compared to reality, reality is just boring and pale. Im not sure if that's supposed to make you sad or whatever, me personally, I am truly grateful for the people who worked at Nintendo who produced this game, so that I could have so many happy hours playing this. Yes, maybe reality sucks in comparison, but this game has shaped me into becoming a person striving to make the world a better place, because, at the end of the day we can't escape reality, so I might as well do what I can to make other people's lives at least a little better, just like the people at Nintendo made mine better by producing this astonishing game.
this game is pretty much about growing up and losing the innocence of better days, but still keeping the memory in part through these songs both in the game and now 20 years later in real life.
in the manga, ganondorf actually takes saria's ocarina and mistakes it for the ocarina of time so Link doesn't really throw it away, he just fools ganondorf on purpose
@@kam7597 Actually when you first get the new one, before you pull the Master Sword, if you go talk to her she'll ask you what happened to the one she gave you ^^;;;
The vaporwave style of these songs somehow matches the way my mind remembers all of these songs. It’s like the vaporwave resonates from the depths of my mind, pulling back memories of playing this game as a child
I remember when I got this game when I was 8. I remember those days rushing home after school to play this with my uncle who helped raise me we spent weekends playing this game. Saria song was his favorite song. Earlier this year he passed from cancer and still can't bring myself to play this game. I love this videos even tho it brings tears to my eyes.
I have a sorta similar situation. My stepdad was separated from me because of some sort of legal issue. He was an amazing guy, pretty chill, but sometimes got a bit too serious. He has anger issues like me, so he was able to help me sort that out. When I was like... 6, maybe? I was still primarily living at my mom’s apartment. I would always watch him play the game, looking at how cool it was. He let me play, and I got used to it quickly, being my first game and all. I plan to finally beat the game before 2020 ends, for the nostalgia. On a much lighter note, he also let me try Mario 64. I couldn’t figure out how to go across the bridge because the concept of jumping was out of the picture for me. I gave up in about 30 seconds, and I look back at those memories and reflect on how much you can improve so much, just because you start out helpless. I miss John, and he will always be remembered. I may see him again, maybe won’t ever see him again. But I will hold hope in my heart that I will see him again. I can’t help but feel so hopeful, yet so sad. I probably sound redundant now, but.... I really, Really, Miss him
Play the game in honor of your uncle, enjoy the feeling of nostalgia and when you hear that song remember how much fun you had with him and don't forget it.
I've got 7 and a half of 9 maybe 10 tracks done. The video is also underway. Its hard to find time and motivation to work on this sometimes, and I don't post it on Spotify or anything because the sample legality makes me feel anxious. I'll finish it, within the next couple of months. But I also don't want to work on it if I'm not in the right headspace, or it'll turn out shitty and I'll be depressed.
@@MarblePawns Beautiful works of music take time to practice and create so im glad you have the mentality of taking time with your art and your fans including myself are deeply grateful for this amazing soundtrack and were all excited to hear the next one! love from Canada
@@MarblePawns for real. this is legendary and i look forward to part 2. i come back to this a lot whenever im looking to listen to real, quality, and emotional music. keep doing what you do.
@@MarblePawns Hey man, no rush on it. Don't feel pressured to release it until you feel it is what you want it to be. To say I am excited for part two is a complete understatement, but I would rather you get it to where you love it than have it be rushed. Best of luck to you and I will send some motivation thoughts your way brother! Much love
Saria: gives link an ocarina Also saria: take good care of it Link: throws it in the bin the second he gets the ocarina of time. Link, you had a good friendship with saria but you just ruined it.
@@loic7867 even better in the manga. Ganondorf took it thinking it was ocarina of time. He's totally the guy to just discard of it, or worse, break it with his hand.
I GET SO SAD THINKING OF HOW LINK HAD TO LEAVE HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND TO SAVE THE WORLD EVEN THO SHE WAS A SAGE GOD DAMN NINTENDO THIS IS HIGHKEY THE BEST GAME EVER MADE
Bruh having to explain to Link the Goron (or whatever your name was) that his dad is dead now... I actually explained what was "troubling me" to my grandma after playing the sad parts of the game at her house...
Do yo know what i sad? Im the most gamer among gamers but i have no Nswitch or ps4 and i have no job or money to buy them, so i just listen to music on youtube xd
I was around 4-5 y.o when my oldest brother (15y.o) would play oot. And I just always wanted to watch him. I'd wait for him to come home from school and ask if he'd play. I may have been an annoying Kid but that's s good memory for me. I always bring it up "remember when I'd watch you fight those temple bosses" this is always going to be a "magical memory as if it was a shared happy dream"
I was the older brother in this exact story in my own life. This game destroys me. 1998. It was supposed to be a different future. It was _meant_ to be a different future.
Me and my brother were the same ages when i would always annoyingly ask him to keep playing the game so i could watch :) I wasn’t satisfied until we found zelda
For me my younger and older brother, we’re all about a year and a half apart. I was around maybe.. 8 years old. Yes im the middle child. But anywho, on christmas we got a gamecube with the collectors edition. And i also would always love to watch my big brother play zelda. It is a very lovely memory for me. Miss those days but im glad im here remeniscing
I had a friend who's parents babysat me back in '98, we would both watch his older brother play the game and we were all three of us so involved and invested in the progression of the game. A few months later I played the game myself when I got my own n64 and the game. Those memories will never leave me.
Though I'm a youngin and haven't gotten to play OT, I get to do this now with my sister. For each Zelda game we have when I was working on beating them, she'd ask to watch me play them. She asks to watch me play echoes of wisdom all the time now. With my younger brother, I remember the day we first beat Thunder Blight Gannon in botw. It was summer and we'd spent all afternoon trying. Then right before it's time for dinner, we manage it. That was a very special triumph.
Cripple Crash I get what he was saying I am 18 and I was really little watching my older cousin play legend of Zelda and Mario 64 and bunch of other games and I would watch and envy him cause he was older and I grew up to appreciate that and the music reminds me of wanting to play those games and I was so happy when he let me play 4 swords with him
I just realized just how good the Japanese are at emotional manipulation with their games and why so many people have such a strong nostalgic bond with this series.
Yeah man. It kind of makes you wonder if its strategically orchestrated, on Purpose. Knowing the more they can get people to return to it, the more it will be eternalized, and unable to be faded out from peoples interest.
"The flow of time is always cruel. Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it. A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days." -Sheik.
I didn't really grow up with Oot but this mix brought me to tears. Legit tears, makes me really want to finish this game. Thank you for this godsend of a track dude.
@Waterlemonea [Martha] There's a lot of themes in Ocarina of Time that really hit hard as we get older and truly appreciate things like friendships, mortality, and memories since nothing is truly "forever"
This is where I come when I need that certain kind of comfort, I don't know how to explain it; just the pure, innocent nostalgia. Takes me back to simpler times, the mix is perfect and the visuals are gorgeous (love the dreamy grainy filter). Thank you, I know how dumb it sounds but this has really helped during some overwhelming times - cheers for the legendary upload man
Solar Sun507 I'd tell myself "enough video games while you can young me. In the future microtransactions will ruin them all. Even single player games are not safe in these dark ages." "Beware EA. For they are king of all evil."
The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...
A year later and I still listen to this nearly every night to go to bed. I still get the same nostalgic feelings and near heartache listening to this. I can’t explain it. Maybe I’m subconsciously deeply missing my childhood when I’d curl up in my Pokémon comforter and watch my brothers play Zelda on our handmedown N64. Life was simple and link was my ultimate hero.
Hi I’m Japanese. I’m literally impressed with your work making Zelda more nostalgic. It makes me remember my childhood with these old video games. Thanks for amazing works! Keep going mate!
Pff no don't wor-- ...Wait. Maybe. If English is your first language and you spelled "does" as "those", maybe. If English is *not* your first language, don't even worry about it--you're fine.
I remember being 8-10 years old playing Ocarina of time and being mesmerized. This mix brings me back...I'm about to be 30 this year and I have a lot of conflicted feelings about that but knowing my childhood had such great escapes in hardships I am so happy this mix exists. You can grow up and have a family or a career but you can never forget where you came from. Child me was lucklier than I will admit... Now I wish my own baby grows up with such great experiences and a love for art and music. Anyways, lets all enjoy simpler times together.
* chuckles in 2000's kid * I grew up playing old games like this, it brings so many good memories although it hasn't been a while. I played these games on the original consoles that my parents had before me, playing them some days but some days I reserved my time for Minecraft. I still love those wacky old low-poly characters XD
This is by far one of the best electronic Zelda Oot remixes I ever seen. Dude make more like this, with all the songs, sure you can do something great reaching the infinite. You get the essence of the zelda songs. My 10/10 !!
Max Palmergore I agree, I hate when people morph it into their own shit using small samples of it and destroying the whole vibe that just doesn't feel like LoZ, like it's to please the EDM crowd more or something
The title theme reminds me of my brother who passed away that I never got to meet due to me being to young to remember however I was told from a young age that oot was one of he’s favorite games also the one he didn’t get to finish so began 6 year old me to play/finish my first game for him....ever since then I’ve been a big fan but a part of me plays them for him
My mum bought a Nintendo 64 from a friend of the family when I was around 6 years old. Alongside it was a copy of OoT with the savefile of "AM". I never knew who AM was and why that person had only finished the Deku Tree but I continued playing on that save, reaching the adult timeline and the haunting music of the forest temple where young me let the game rest for a few years before I returned, the journey of this mysterious Link "AM" in my head. WHo was that person? My family couldn't tell me when I asked why there was a savefile of "AM" because they claimed that they had never bought the system from anyone, was this all just a memory I had created in my head? A phantasy that became indistingushable from reality? I was around 13 when I finally finished OoT and the Story of "AM" drew to a close, I had obtained everything I needed to beat Ganondorf, never 100 % the savefile. 3 years later I returned to my N64, finding the completed file of "AM", beginning a new story, this time fully completing the game. When I was 22 I lent out my N64 to a trusted friend only for them to claim that they had already returned it to me, never to see it nor the mysterious "AM" ever again. But I'd like to believe that the savefile lives on somewhere outside my memories.
the best week of my life was in 2014 when me and my brother had just finished the busy season at the greenhouse (12-14 hr days) and we just spent the entire next 6 days playing through Ocarina of Time and exploring every square foot and eating trash.
I have a memory of turning on the game for the first time, hearing the intro music, and getting this feeling... A feeling telling me I was going on one hell of a ride..
Yesterday I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and it was my first time ever having surgery. Needless to say I was very nervous, walking into the unknown, as they didn’t put me under during the surgery. In which case, they allow for you to listen to music to soothe your mind and block out the sound of the high power drills that are being operated within you. I made a playlist of songs to listen to, yet the only one I really found myself listening to throughout the approximately 40 minute procedure, was this very Zeldawave video. Though it was a somewhat painful experience, however listening to this chilled me out and calmed my mind so much and so effectively, as it took me back to my happy childhood years, growing up listening to these very songs...thank you. Thank you for making one of my experiences of going into the unknown, turn into a state of relaxation and nostalgia, even through the pain that was surgery. I will always remember Zeldawave 💚
Man Everyday I would listen to this video back in high school and I mean everyday 2018 to 2021 it would help me during times I would be depressed or just needed motivation. thank you for making this Marble Pawns your truly a man of talents
Katie Whomst Does Not Understand Things it’s like I fell asleep while watching my older bro play oot. I used to always fall asleep while watching my bro games when I was younger and sometimes I legit would have dreams similar to this XD.
Whenever I feel like I envy my past self, I come back to this, and it simply makes me realize that time passes, and one must accept that. The idea of going back and re experiencing those perfect moments of pure childhood bliss sounds nice, but what I often fail to realize is that I still have the memories of those times. And that is all I need.
Marble Pawns, you have created the perfect remix ever. This is my favorite lofi mix ever and definitely my favorite song right now. I have easily already attributed so many views to this and I discovered it like a month ago. I’m telling everyone I know about it. I love you. I’m actually going to stop being a dickhead and look at your channel to see what else you have. But you have created perfection. It’s the best thing ever to fall asleep to. It’s the best thing to smoke to. It’s the best thing to just chill too. Seriously I hope you understand how much I love this song. I appreciate your existence dude. Have an amazing life, I wish you the best.
Listening to the Sheik's Theme part; Thought I'd put these here for others; -The flow of time is always cruel... it's speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it...A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days. - It is something that grows over time... a true friendship. A feeling in the heart that becomes even stronger over time. The passion of friendship will soon blossom into a righteous power and through it, you will know which way to go...This song is dedicated to the Power of the Heart. - The rising sun will eventually set...a newborn's life will fade... From sun to moon, moon to sun... Give peaceful rest to the living dead. - Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself. - This is the melody that will draw you into the infinite darkness that absorbs even time. Listen to the Nocturne of Shadow. - They say that there is no medicine that can cure a fool. I guess that's true. (Potion Shop Old Woman). - Ganondorf, pitiful man, without a strong righteous mind, he could not control the power of the Gods. (Zelda) - When peace returns to Hyrule, it will be time to say goodbye ! (Zelda) - The three Goddesses hid the Triforce containing the power of the Gods somewhere in Hyrule... if someone with an evil mind has his wish granted, the world will be consumed by evil. (Zelda) - I have played this song to princess Zelda ever since she was a baby. There is mysterious power in these notes. (Impa)
(I am Japanese. Here are my impressions based on my poor English translation) At the time, my brother, who was four years older than me, had "Ocarina of Time" as a birthday present. I watched him play it next to me. It was my favorite time. It is a masterpiece that will never fade away. It is a masterpiece that will never fade away because it resonates throughout the world. Now that I am an adult, I am grateful to be able to see "Ocarina of Time" again as a remixed work. Although it originated in Japan, "Ocarina of Time" continues to be perfected again by sensibilities around the world. I am healed by it. This video is also very nice. Thank you very much. Time passes while the ocarina continues to play. That is "Ocarina of Time"! （日本語の感想） 当時、4歳年上の兄の誕生日プレゼントが「時のオカリナ」でした。彼がプレイしているのを隣で見ていました。大好きな時間でした。 決して色褪せることのない名作です。 世界中に響き渡るからこそ、色褪せない名作なのです。 大人になった今、リミックス作品として「時のオカリナ」を再び見ることができることに感謝しています。 日本発の作品でありながら、世界中の感性によって再び完成され続ける「時のオカリナ」。 私はそれに癒されています。 この映像もとても素敵です。 ありがとうございました。オカリナの演奏が続く中、時間が過ぎていく。それが「時のオカリナ」です！
Your english translation is amazing, don't sell yourself short! No matter how one experienced "Ocarina of Time", there is always a deep connection to it. I'm glad this game means so much to you, it is a truly magical story :)
@@bonkdonk297 Thank you. It seems like magic to me too. I think it's amazing not only the power of technology, but the fact that you and I can hear the same sounds and empathize with them. Let's enjoy a wonderful time. May it be a beautiful harmony.
My childhood was heavily marked by Half Life and GTA, so I never played any Zelda game until BotW where I just started watching videos about the timeline and past games. And even then, this is so well made it still gives me a lot of nostalgia Now I get that "reminds me of a past that didn't happen" quote
This made me cry. I love it. It's my childhood happiness all over again that I struggle to get back to most days. I just arranged a meeting to look at a n64 and to go buy a copy of ocarina of time, majoras mask, super mario 64, donkey kong 64, mario kart, and tetris. Thank you for this. I didnt know I needed it but thank you.
This is a lot listening to this all at once. It definitely brings me back to when I was a kid and I could barely beat this game. I remember I finally after 4 years got to ganon's tower and decided enough is enough and played my heart out beating all of the mini temple's at 8 years old. I brought all of my friends over in my neighborhood and we sat infront of our tv with my brother there as well and watched as I beat ganon then ran down the tower and delivered the final blow after a very intense boss battle with little life left. I felt so accomplished as I beat him and finally got the credits screen with all of the creatures and people dancing and having a parade. I remember I turned to my friends and cheered after I defeated ganon and they were happy for me as well, and my brother just couldn't believe it. Times were so much simpler then, I now have a family of my own and my friends are in different places starting families of their own, I miss those times sometimes just to be young and naive.
I swear I almost cried watching this, especially during the Zelda's Lullaby parts (and it's not even my favorite OOT song). Holy shit, holy shit! This is so beautiful, the video, the music!!!
I played this game 1-13 years old when I was little I didn’t really understand how to beat it then I finally did at 6 but I’d mostly just kill the skeletons in hyrule field. If it was level based I would have been a level 70 at like 3 years old😂 (ocarina of time) the best one
Commenting every Zelda related video I see, because one of my coolest friends ever, Daniel showed me and gave me the opportunity to play TLOZ Ocarina of Time for the very first time on my life. He just doesn't know how much it has impacted me in a positive way. Thank you for everything you had shown me. 🖤
This video has actually really been helping me when I’m stressed. Helps calm me down when depressed or angry or when having a mental breakdown. Thank you so much for this!!
I was a Junior in high school when this game came out. I will never be as excited for a game as I was for OOT. When your a kid/teen, waiting 4-5 years for a game equals waiting 1/3 of your life. The anticipation was off the chart.
I first saw this video when I was entering highschool, and it completely changed the direction of my life. Every now and then when i'm doing something important I come back and listen to it. Thanks for making it, man.
@@bray4883 Just playing it? I'm 14 and I played it when I was 5. I got back to it and all to beat the game but wow you're just playing it for your first time
I harbour massive nostalgia for this game, this remix takes those feelings and empowers them into something positive, rather than tainting the nostalgia with the unfortunate reality that we will never be able to relive those happy memories.
I've been using this song to help me wake up for the past 4 years and I just want to say thank you because some days it feels impossible to move from my bed until I play this mix.

1998 baby right here 🔢
I remember when I was a kid, maybe 6 years old I didn't understand the game. It seemed so mature, so mysterious, besides I could not understand English (spanish speaker). Yet I remember every morning waking up and spending hours trying to figure out stuff. It took me years literally to get to the grown-up part of the game. It made me cry when I finally took the sword out for the first time. I felt a great accomplishment.
Qué onda, tuviste suerte, ni lo puedo jugar porque no se en donde (no tengo ni pc ni 3ds) esperemos que salga para el 35 aniversario de Zelda 😔
im spanish too, i never had a chance to play it, when i get an emulator i was so happy, i was wondering to get the master sword, but goron's city, its so harder
Yo tenía diez cuando cuando lo jugué, por suerte venía con una guía de textos con las traducciones y pude entenderlo todo.
Yo lo descubrí a los doce (tengo 16)
Lo jugué en inglés, pero sí conozco el idioma. Lo completé sin guías, pero nunca lo terminé. No importan cuántas veces mate a Ganon, cuántas arañas doradas mate, o si abro el 100% los cofres, no puedo pasar más de dos meses sin volver a él. Prefiero AlttP, y también lo juego, pero este es... Diferente.
Hoy lo vencí por última vez, 100%.
Vine a este video, y jugaré a Majora's Mask, sin guía, espero.
Decidí escribir aquí porque es el único comentario hispanohablante, creo.
Voy a guardar el cartucho en una caja, y lo volveré a jugar cuando sea más grande. Si youtube aún existe, puede que vuelva a este mismo comentario!!
I hope everyone who ever played Ocarina of Time as a kid gets to listen to this.
I was born in 2005 so I wasn't around in the 90s to play the n64 version, so I played the 3d version on the 3ds XL. Even so, it remains a treasured game for me

Damn, 😂 he had to be a zelda fan from the start or else "outgrew" mario. Good on them either way.
Both classics (Mario 64 and OoT) but I'm glad that cashier introduced you to a masterpiece.

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time reminds me of the simpler days before I had to worry about high school, stress, anxiety, drama, or losing people that are important to me. This game makes me miss the times when I would go out with my friends and climb trees, explore the old, abandon hotel near my house as if it were a dungeon we had to explore and beat monsters and solve dungeon puzzles, and simply be kids, but then I realize what this game truly means; this game is about growing up and learning that we shouldn’t cry because we lost something instead smile because we had these things in the first place.
Thank u
Well now you made me overthink what is a videogame and what it could represent in the average person
Amen bro
gay but also wholesome
ok but *nobody* cares
Zelda was always my favorite form of escapism considering I am from a third world country and life in such place sometimes got very harsh and as a young kid I would often be sad about it, but whenever I got to play Zelda, all my problems went away. Even now as an adult. Zelda games will always be in my heart.
Hope things are better for you now
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Zelda is just pure fun and escapism, no matter how old you are. As I get older and my taste in fiction changes, the thought of the Zelda series always makes me happy.
The first Zelda game I played was Majora's Mask when I was like 7 years old. God I miss those memories. Just watching dad play it was still amazing. I continue to love the Legend of Zelda 8 years later.
That’s beautiful man thanks for sharing
When my friend was battling cancer in 2018, he mentioned multiple times how he wanted to fade away like the deku tree, when his time came, I had to watch him take his last breath eventually and he indeed, did fade away like the deku tree. We both loved OoT, MM, and his favorite Zelda was Windwaker, which I hope to play someday. A lot of the things we enjoyed together like music and games haunted me to an extent after he passed away. I found your channel about a year ago and it made me realize how much pain I was shouldering. Thank you for making these albums, I cherish them dearly.
i know i might not have a place to say here, but i have also cherished ocarina of time and majora's mask, they were my favourites. Im sorry to hear of your loss.
It was hard confessing such thoughts, but every time I watched this, it's all that came to mind. I feel like these songs brought people together, in a unique way. I appreciate your words and it makes me happy knowing you cherished those two games so much as well. @@deepsea_metro

“The Only Distance That Matters Is The Distance Between Our Hearts.” - Rhondson, Tears Of The Kingdom
"Oh, you're leaving... I knew... that you would leave the forest... someday..."
That line is particularly heavy in this video if you view Kokiri Forest as a metaphor for childhood.
Edit: I got this idea from a video essay "OCARINA OF TIME - A Masterclass In Subtext."
It's excellent, and it has one of my favorite title-cards. I strongly recommend it.
God damn man. That one hits.
ok now im crying because soon ill be leaving my parents house and start being an adult
Luísa Janaú it’s not that bad, the main difference is you just have to figure out how to pay your own way. There are tons of perks that come with growing up. If you do it right, it’s an adventure.
Oof. That hits hard actually.
that is literally the theology behind the kokiri. There's some Japanese subculture that this games principles were based on. Can't recall what it is at the moment.
*The flow of time is always cruel... Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it*

That isnt the sad part.
The sad part comes when link becomes a stalfo and then wonders until appears in zelda twilight princess.. Basically he never saw saria again
@@tars3840 Is that theory actually confirmed? I've heard arguements to both sides, but I don't know what's confirmed.
@@Phoenix_Down444 While it is questionable if he ever sees Saria again (which he probably shouldn't as the kokiri's only purpose is to serve the hero's destiny and then she becomes a sage), he does officially become a stalfos and trains the Hero of Twilight in sword techniques throughout Twilight Princess.
Won't we?💔

Listening to this on vinyl now after a hard day at work, wife and my son gone on vacation out of state without me and my dad just recently passed. I said goodbye but he was not conscious. I cant get the last images of him that I saw out of my head. I miss him so much and it hurts so bad that I can't even process that he's gone. I have a meeting at work tomorrow that is not in my favor and I am doing things to cope that are not helping me in the long run and dare I say probably hurting me. I am totally lost but at least I am lost while listening to this. I need help so bad yet haven't a clue where to get it. I am so deeply sad and it won't go away. I hope each and everyone of you out there listening to this album is doing good and happy. To all of the kids out there enjoy your childhood and don't be in a rush to grow up. I love you all..

Not gonna lie, back when i played this as a kid, some of parts of the video actually is how it looked on my piece of shit ancient TV
I had no idea it was actually just a e s t h e t i c
Right? Why doesn't youtube have a mode that looks like my old tube TV, where I couldn't see the corners of the image, usually right where my health was displayed!
I had a magnet glued to the top left of my TV just to make the colours closer to normal.
It's aesthetic now because the nostalgia is strong. Zelda was so good that even played on the shittiest screen ever it could still blow your mind. The shitty screen is a part of that memory now

A game that represents the embodiment of growing up. I grew up with this game and the story, the music, the art, the symbolism, the memories, THIS RENDITION, all of it is carried with me and will be for the rest of my life. I'm only 15 but it feels like it's been so long since I layed my hands on that controller for the first time. Time is something humans need to cherish more. This game spreads that message unknowingly. And to you Mr. Pawns. Thank you for the memories. My tears are those of joy and appraisal.
i wish you to live the very best life lil man
i recently turned 18.
first played zelda when i was 3.
time is something weird man.
Is there any game out there that immerses players into the experience of growing from boyhood into an adult? There’s no other experience out there like this game and it was given to players across the world who were growing out of childhood. Truly amazing and one of few games that connects on such a level that we will remember and fondly revisit even as adults.
Regardless of how far we are apart, this is a journey we all shared together, glad we made it through guys

+RealMansGuide Just a video game that many people have strong nostalgia for.
Scarlett ttelracS Thank you
Part-Time Vegan I'm Glad too
The Legend of Zelda series is honestly such a masterpiece. Though nostalgic, it's music and story is so strong. Just the idea that every Link and Zelda we meet is almost always a brand new one, is enough to bring me to tears. Knowing that the Link we once played as in Ocarina of Time has long since finished his journey and died an unsung hero... It's extremely saddening to know that the Hero of Time is perhaps the most iconic and yet the most forgotten of all of the Links coming after him.
To this day, whenever I play a new Zelda game and I see the new Link, I am instantly reminded of the Hero of Time and his legacy. He fought, gave up his own life, and suffered tremendously just so that the people of tomorrow could live. Every moment of happiness that happens in a new Zelda game, I am reminded of the happiness that the Hero of Time could never experience...
The Hero of the Sky's tale may have been the grandest, but no other tale can be as heartbreaking and heart-wrenching than the hero who fought for the people who never knew he existed.
But the hero of twilight was just living a normal life he was thrust into a adventure he didn't want to do but he did it anyway
❤
@@Kaoni-ge2mv yes, but at least te hero of twilight have a childhood. Link OOT didn`t.
Unfortunate as it may be, this was what he wanted. Ironic that he is known to be the hero of time but forgotten in history. He was a true hero and fitting of the title given to him, a legendary hero with a courageous heart. Spared the people of having to burden the very thought of knowing they would perish by stepping in and sacrificing himself to save them. Knowing full well he would not be rewarded for his righteous deeds. Gave up his childhood to save the lives of many. He died as he lived. A true hero.
The saddest part is that after all the hardships he went through he still became a hyrule soldier to protect its people, even if no one knew him, even if zelda never gor to know about what he did for her and for everyone else, even if no one cared about him and he didn't have anyone, he was still there, protecting his kingdom and his princess only to become a stalfos (I cry when I think that he probably died in the kokiri forest, where he grew up) without anyone to pass his teachings down to (at least until twilight princess) or maybe without a family who cared about his death.

I literally only had the opportunity to play the crappy remake but I definitely preferred it to any other Zelda game.
Mr Ttripz Are we thinking of the same remake? Cuz I thought the 3DS version was anything but crappy.
Incredible with how many people in the comments can relate to heavily with this game. Not just on a nostalgic level but a spiritual level. What is it about this game that brings gamers together of all types? Not only does Nintendo make great games but they have created games that every industry wishes to capture in an individual. They have captured that part of someone that makes them feel whole again when they play these games, I truly feel sorry for people who never got a chance to play these games when they were children. We all wish to play these games again like its the first time because thats how incredibly captivating they are. NO OTHER FRANCHISE HAS ANYTHING CLOSE TO BEING THIS GREAT. When we die i hope i can relive these memories again, I would kill for that and i would kill to live through an adventure that link goes through. For those who read this, why are these games just so amazing? Ive played so many video games in my time but time and time again the zelda series is just unbelievably incomparable to any experience!
Hey man, I know it's a late reply, but since this game is timeless, so is this comment haha.
I think the reason that so many people resonate with this game on a spiritual level is because it has such a beautiful atmosphere. You control a character that is trying to save the world, and in doing so you get on an exciting adventure and you make good friends and relationships while doing that and in pursuing what is meaningful. It is truly such a deep need for every human to want to live an interesting and fulfilling life, and when compared to reality, reality is just boring and pale. Im not sure if that's supposed to make you sad or whatever, me personally, I am truly grateful for the people who worked at Nintendo who produced this game, so that I could have so many happy hours playing this. Yes, maybe reality sucks in comparison, but this game has shaped me into becoming a person striving to make the world a better place, because, at the end of the day we can't escape reality, so I might as well do what I can to make other people's lives at least a little better, just like the people at Nintendo made mine better by producing this astonishing game.
its not a game anymore. it's a place, and a splendid one
not me crying in the youtube comments section 😭💜 I appreciate everyone here
this game is pretty much about growing up and losing the innocence of better days, but still keeping the memory in part through these songs both in the game and now 20 years later in real life.

Which one? This video contains 8.
I remember when I got this game when I was 8. I remember those days rushing home after school to play this with my uncle who helped raise me we spent weekends playing this game. Saria song was his favorite song. Earlier this year he passed from cancer and still can't bring myself to play this game. I love this videos even tho it brings tears to my eyes.
I have a sorta similar situation.
My stepdad was separated from me because of some sort of legal issue. He was an amazing guy, pretty chill, but sometimes got a bit too serious. He has anger issues like me, so he was able to help me sort that out. When I was like... 6, maybe? I was still primarily living at my mom’s apartment. I would always watch him play the game, looking at how cool it was. He let me play, and I got used to it quickly, being my first game and all. I plan to finally beat the game before 2020 ends, for the nostalgia. On a much lighter note, he also let me try Mario 64. I couldn’t figure out how to go across the bridge because the concept of jumping was out of the picture for me. I gave up in about 30 seconds, and I look back at those memories and reflect on how much you can improve so much, just because you start out helpless. I miss John, and he will always be remembered. I may see him again, maybe won’t ever see him again. But I will hold hope in my heart that I will see him again. I can’t help but feel so hopeful, yet so sad. I probably sound redundant now, but....

I was around 4-5 y.o when my oldest brother (15y.o) would play oot. And I just always wanted to watch him. I'd wait for him to come home from school and ask if he'd play. I may have been an annoying Kid but that's s good memory for me. I always bring it up "remember when I'd watch you fight those temple bosses" this is always going to be a "magical memory as if it was a shared happy dream"
I was the older brother in this exact story in my own life.
This game destroys me. 1998. It was supposed to be a different future. It was _meant_ to be a different future.
Me and my brother were the same ages when i would always annoyingly ask him to keep playing the game so i could watch :) I wasn’t satisfied until we found zelda
For me my younger and older brother, we’re all about a year and a half apart. I was around maybe.. 8 years old. Yes im the middle child. But anywho, on christmas we got a gamecube with the collectors edition. And i also would always love to watch my big brother play zelda. It is a very lovely memory for me. Miss those days but im glad im here remeniscing
I had a friend who's parents babysat me back in '98, we would both watch his older brother play the game and we were all three of us so involved and invested in the progression of the game. A few months later I played the game myself when I got my own n64 and the game. Those memories will never leave me.
Though I'm a youngin and haven't gotten to play OT, I get to do this now with my sister. For each Zelda game we have when I was working on beating them, she'd ask to watch me play them. She asks to watch me play echoes of wisdom all the time now. With my younger brother, I remember the day we first beat Thunder Blight Gannon in botw. It was summer and we'd spent all afternoon trying. Then right before it's time for dinner, we manage it. That was a very special triumph.
I love how this genre is
A. A total joke.
B. Actually pretty good.
I love how this genre gives nostalgia and 90% of the audience doesn’t get it because they haven’t lived for that long.
Cripple Crash you don’t have to be old to experience history
Yeah, but the it’s supposed to be nostalgia for 20 or so year old game.
Cripple Crash I get what he was saying I am 18 and I was really little watching my older cousin play legend of Zelda and Mario 64 and bunch of other games and I would watch and envy him cause he was older and I grew up to appreciate that and the music reminds me of wanting to play those games and I was so happy when he let me play 4 swords with him
Cripple Crash I can also see where you’re coming from

Bro I feel nostalgic with this and I've never played Ocarina of Time
That's Nintendo for ya
Yeah man. It kind of makes you wonder if its strategically orchestrated, on Purpose. Knowing the more they can get people to return to it, the more it will be eternalized, and unable to be faded out from peoples interest.

Here here!
Definitely my favorite :)
Ommmm yesss
I didn't really grow up with Oot but this mix brought me to tears. Legit tears, makes me really want to finish this game. Thank you for this godsend of a track dude.
Why don't relish in the music again?
Bro I had chills down by spine hearing the intro. And tears. Manly tears, I swear.
No need for manly tears I still cry like a baby at almost all the zelda endings. And its ok.
when big boss cries, u know its legit
Nostalgia tears are always manly, my friend.
its ok bro your tears don't have to be manly to be valid, crying can be nice for everyone once in a while
We've all cried cause of nostalgia once in our life...
6:02
But that's OK, because we'll be friends forever...
won't we?
man, i cried at that moment LOL
Me too! Love that part.
@Waterlemonea [Martha] There's a lot of themes in Ocarina of Time that really hit hard as we get older and truly appreciate things like friendships, mortality, and memories since nothing is truly "forever"
Yeah i shed a tear for my brother
Poor fella got friendzoned
Sometimes something perfect is made. It’s very rare, but it can happen. This is solid proof.
WaveSmash BIG FACTS
This is where I come when I need that certain kind of comfort, I don't know how to explain it; just the pure, innocent nostalgia. Takes me back to simpler times, the mix is perfect and the visuals are gorgeous (love the dreamy grainy filter). Thank you, I know how dumb it sounds but this has really helped during some overwhelming times - cheers for the legendary upload man
I feel you
I wish i could travel back in time and tell my little self " enjoy this times all you can ".
Solar Sun507 I'd tell myself "enough video games while you can young me. In the future microtransactions will ruin them all. Even single player games are not safe in these dark ages." "Beware EA. For they are king of all evil."
Life's mostly downhill after innocent times
true that, I feel like every year just gets harder and harder.

The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...
A year later and I still listen to this nearly every night to go to bed. I still get the same nostalgic feelings and near heartache listening to this. I can’t explain it. Maybe I’m subconsciously deeply missing my childhood when I’d curl up in my Pokémon comforter and watch my brothers play Zelda on our handmedown N64. Life was simple and link was my ultimate hero.
Hi I’m Japanese. I’m literally impressed with your work making Zelda more nostalgic. It makes me remember my childhood with these old video games. Thanks for amazing works! Keep going mate!
I love you bro
@@frenchbeluga7055 I love your bro to
@@frenchbeluga7055 weird
Hi Japanese, I'm Dad!
My soul aches when I listen to these. A time long gone, but never forgotten. Thank you for making the nostalgia real.
😢😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
This was incredible. You understand what made Zelda so special.
it was oatmeal creme pies
Fuck yeah it was--
Pff no don't wor--
...Wait.
Maybe.
If English is your first language and you spelled "does" as "those", maybe.
If English is *not* your first language, don't even worry about it--you're fine.
cant agree more
Shadow Hugh Neutron the music 😂
I remember being 8-10 years old playing Ocarina of time and being mesmerized. This mix brings me back...I'm about to be 30 this year and I have a lot of conflicted feelings about that but knowing my childhood had such great escapes in hardships I am so happy this mix exists. You can grow up and have a family or a career but you can never forget where you came from. Child me was lucklier than I will admit... Now I wish my own baby grows up with such great experiences and a love for art and music. Anyways, lets all enjoy simpler times together.
And to think one guy composed this entire soundtrack! God bless you Koji Kondo, making our childhoods an unforgettable time. :')
I come back to listen this every once in a while. Thank you.
Cold, snowy Saturday's in the late '90's, playing OoT in a warm, cozy house.
* chuckles in 2000's kid *
I grew up playing old games like this, it brings so many good memories although it hasn't been a while. I played these games on the original consoles that my parents had before me, playing them some days but some days I reserved my time for Minecraft.
I still love those wacky old low-poly characters XD
@@furryabbacchio1341 same because my brother got me into these games and I got no regrets. best childhood I could've ever had.
How did this exist almost for a whole year and i never heard it until now lol
Evil's Bass Mixes same man :( but I love it
Yep
Ikr
Agreed, tovarishch.
Everything happens for a reason.
This is by far one of the best electronic Zelda Oot remixes I ever seen. Dude make more like this, with all the songs, sure you can do something great reaching the infinite. You get the essence of the zelda songs. My 10/10 !!
Max Palmergore I agree, I hate when people morph it into their own shit using small samples of it and destroying the whole vibe that just doesn't feel like LoZ, like it's to please the EDM crowd more or something
I wish I could play this game for the first time again.
that would be a dream come true but also with the mindset you had when you were young when nothing mattered but gaming and waiting for dinner xD
The title theme reminds me of my brother who passed away that I never got to meet due to me being to young to remember however I was told from a young age that oot was one of he’s favorite games also the one he didn’t get to finish
so began 6 year old me to play/finish my first game
for him....ever since then I’ve been a big fan but a part of me plays them for him
My mum bought a Nintendo 64 from a friend of the family when I was around 6 years old. Alongside it was a copy of OoT with the savefile of "AM". I never knew who AM was and why that person had only finished the Deku Tree but I continued playing on that save, reaching the adult timeline and the haunting music of the forest temple where young me let the game rest for a few years before I returned, the journey of this mysterious Link "AM" in my head. WHo was that person? My family couldn't tell me when I asked why there was a savefile of "AM" because they claimed that they had never bought the system from anyone, was this all just a memory I had created in my head? A phantasy that became indistingushable from reality? I was around 13 when I finally finished OoT and the Story of "AM" drew to a close, I had obtained everything I needed to beat Ganondorf, never 100 % the savefile. 3 years later I returned to my N64, finding the completed file of "AM", beginning a new story, this time fully completing the game. When I was 22 I lent out my N64 to a trusted friend only for them to claim that they had already returned it to me, never to see it nor the mysterious "AM" ever again. But I'd like to believe that the savefile lives on somewhere outside my memories.
I feel you
I missy Uncle I cry every time I think about him it's a pain in the gut
He died of lung cancer:'(
aww man
you made me cry. I admire your love for your dead brother
Aww
the best week of my life was in 2014 when me and my brother had just finished the busy season at the greenhouse (12-14 hr days) and we just spent the entire next 6 days playing through Ocarina of Time and exploring every square foot and eating trash.
That seems like a wonderful memory. Mine is similar but a couple of years earlier :)
I have a memory of turning on the game for the first time, hearing the intro music, and getting this feeling...
A feeling telling me I was going on one hell of a ride..
Yesterday I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and it was my first time ever having surgery. Needless to say I was very nervous, walking into the unknown, as they didn’t put me under during the surgery. In which case, they allow for you to listen to music to soothe your mind and block out the sound of the high power drills that are being operated within you. I made a playlist of songs to listen to, yet the only one I really found myself listening to throughout the approximately 40 minute procedure, was this very Zeldawave video. Though it was a somewhat painful experience, however listening to this chilled me out and calmed my mind so much and so effectively, as it took me back to my happy childhood years, growing up listening to these very songs...thank you. Thank you for making one of my experiences of going into the unknown, turn into a state of relaxation and nostalgia, even through the pain that was surgery. I will always remember Zeldawave 💚
Wait till you get em removed AGAIN. you need to remove them a total of two times then youre good haha
Man Everyday I would listen to this video back in high school and I mean everyday 2018 to 2021 it would help me during times I would be depressed or just needed motivation.
thank you for making this Marble Pawns your truly a man of talents
It feels a bit like being lost in a dream...
true af
Katie Whomst Does Not Understand Things it’s like I fell asleep while watching my older bro play oot. I used to always fall asleep while watching my bro games when I was younger and sometimes I legit would have dreams similar to this XD.
That's because it's a e s t h e t i c
i didnt want to leave the forest, i had to.
But... you will always be friend with Saria
STOP I DONT WANNA CRY :(
deep
its okay bro, we can be children when no one is looking
Username checks out
I just want to say this is one of the greatest zelda remixes ever made
Whenever I feel like I envy my past self, I come back to this, and it simply makes me realize that time passes, and one must accept that. The idea of going back and re experiencing those perfect moments of pure childhood bliss sounds nice, but what I often fail to realize is that I still have the memories of those times. And that is all I need.
This is the best one yet, hands down. Not to mention it is the perfect length, you get right to the meat of the beats and it never feels stale.
Song title: 'The Meat of the Beats'
Marble Pawns, you have created the perfect remix ever. This is my favorite lofi mix ever and definitely my favorite song right now. I have easily already attributed so many views to this and I discovered it like a month ago. I’m telling everyone I know about it. I love you. I’m actually going to stop being a dickhead and look at your channel to see what else you have. But you have created perfection. It’s the best thing ever to fall asleep to. It’s the best thing to smoke to. It’s the best thing to just chill too. Seriously I hope you understand how much I love this song. I appreciate your existence dude. Have an amazing life, I wish you the best.
But have you played the game?
This was so wholesome
Imagine she doesn’t even Zelda and she simply has that much appreciation for...music
Listening to the Sheik's Theme part; Thought I'd put these here for others;
-The flow of time is always cruel... it's speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it...A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days.
- It is something that grows over time... a true friendship. A feeling in the heart that becomes even stronger over time. The passion of friendship will soon blossom into a righteous power and through it, you will know which way to go...This song is dedicated to the Power of the Heart.
- The rising sun will eventually set...a newborn's life will fade... From sun to moon, moon to sun... Give peaceful rest to the living dead.
- Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself.
- This is the melody that will draw you into the infinite darkness that absorbs even time. Listen to the Nocturne of Shadow.
- They say that there is no medicine that can cure a fool. I guess that's true. (Potion Shop Old Woman).
- Ganondorf, pitiful man, without a strong righteous mind, he could not control the power of the Gods. (Zelda)
- When peace returns to Hyrule, it will be time to say goodbye ! (Zelda)
- The three Goddesses hid the Triforce containing the power of the Gods somewhere in Hyrule... if someone with an evil mind has his wish granted, the world will be consumed by evil. (Zelda)
- I have played this song to princess Zelda ever since she was a baby. There is mysterious power in these notes. (Impa)
That's a good knowledge you got there, Nice!
Yeet
(I am Japanese. Here are my impressions based on my poor English translation)
At the time, my brother, who was four years older than me, had "Ocarina of Time" as a birthday present. I watched him play it next to me. It was my favorite time.
It is a masterpiece that will never fade away.
It is a masterpiece that will never fade away because it resonates throughout the world.
Now that I am an adult, I am grateful to be able to see "Ocarina of Time" again as a remixed work.
Although it originated in Japan, "Ocarina of Time" continues to be perfected again by sensibilities around the world.
I am healed by it.
This video is also very nice.
Thank you very much. Time passes while the ocarina continues to play. That is "Ocarina of Time"!
（日本語の感想）
当時、4歳年上の兄の誕生日プレゼントが「時のオカリナ」でした。彼がプレイしているのを隣で見ていました。大好きな時間でした。
決して色褪せることのない名作です。
世界中に響き渡るからこそ、色褪せない名作なのです。
大人になった今、リミックス作品として「時のオカリナ」を再び見ることができることに感謝しています。
日本発の作品でありながら、世界中の感性によって再び完成され続ける「時のオカリナ」。
私はそれに癒されています。
この映像もとても素敵です。
ありがとうございました。オカリナの演奏が続く中、時間が過ぎていく。それが「時のオカリナ」です！
Your english translation is amazing, don't sell yourself short! No matter how one experienced "Ocarina of Time", there is always a deep connection to it. I'm glad this game means so much to you, it is a truly magical story :)
@@bonkdonk297 Thank you.
It seems like magic to me too. I think it's amazing not only the power of technology, but the fact that you and I can hear the same sounds and empathize with them. Let's enjoy a wonderful time. May it be a beautiful harmony.
Reminds me of one of the many reasons I am thankful for being blessed with a heartbeat.
♥ love it!
NEOTIC very nice am I right
OH MY! NEOTIC loved it! You are a god among mere mortals!
Love both of y'alls work, NEOTIC!

I almost cry every time I hear OoT's opening theme.
same...
Youre not alone
The nostalgia hits you like a truck
Don’t we all. The best game ever made. Long live OOT
"hey listen" ❤️
One of my favorite videos ever, thank you Marble Pawns.
My childhood was heavily marked by Half Life and GTA, so I never played any Zelda game until BotW where I just started watching videos about the timeline and past games. And even then, this is so well made it still gives me a lot of nostalgia
Now I get that "reminds me of a past that didn't happen" quote
Totally same.
God damn man exactly the same here, i used to love GTA and Valve games as a kid
Feel ya valentine.
This made me cry. I love it. It's my childhood happiness all over again that I struggle to get back to most days. I just arranged a meeting to look at a n64 and to go buy a copy of ocarina of time, majoras mask, super mario 64, donkey kong 64, mario kart, and tetris. Thank you for this. I didnt know I needed it but thank you.
To the first friend I ever had Billy Barnett if you are out there this is for you my lost brother...
This is a lot listening to this all at once. It definitely brings me back to when I was a kid and I could barely beat this game. I remember I finally after 4 years got to ganon's tower and decided enough is enough and played my heart out beating all of the mini temple's at 8 years old. I brought all of my friends over in my neighborhood and we sat infront of our tv with my brother there as well and watched as I beat ganon then ran down the tower and delivered the final blow after a very intense boss battle with little life left. I felt so accomplished as I beat him and finally got the credits screen with all of the creatures and people dancing and having a parade. I remember I turned to my friends and cheered after I defeated ganon and they were happy for me as well, and my brother just couldn't believe it. Times were so much simpler then, I now have a family of my own and my friends are in different places starting families of their own, I miss those times sometimes just to be young and naive.
Why don't you relisten to this and relish in happy memories
i swear i give this video half its views. i listen every morning when i do my makeup. beautifullll
Aly Sortwell sameeee
I LISTEN TO THIS EVERTIME I SUCK DICK
_Triforcethetics_
THREEIO 🔥🔥🔥
I swear I almost cried watching this, especially during the Zelda's Lullaby parts (and it's not even my favorite OOT song). Holy shit, holy shit! This is so beautiful, the video, the music!!!
Same
I played this game 1-13 years old when I was little I didn’t really understand how to beat it then I finally did at 6 but I’d mostly just kill the skeletons in hyrule field. If it was level based I would have been a level 70 at like 3 years old😂 (ocarina of time) the best one
Commenting every Zelda related video I see, because one of my coolest friends ever, Daniel showed me and gave me the opportunity to play TLOZ Ocarina of Time for the very first time on my life. He just doesn't know how much it has impacted me in a positive way. Thank you for everything you had shown me. 🖤
That's nice. ❤

What ? 😅
I was a Junior in high school when this game came out. I will never be as excited for a game as I was for OOT. When your a kid/teen, waiting 4-5 years for a game equals waiting 1/3 of your life. The anticipation was off the chart.
Lol definitely I’m the same way waiting for botw2 to come out, hopefully only like 7 more months 🤞
Is this the peak of both vapor wave and Zelda wave?
Yes
this is synthwave not vaporwave
Nortwin well fuck me right quick
I first saw this video when I was entering highschool, and it completely changed the direction of my life. Every now and then when i'm doing something important I come back and listen to it. Thanks for making it, man.
Ocarina of time is like a world trapped in the 90s
It wil be my piece of childhood forever and it is mine.
Kye Manley too bad kids now days won’t experience this
I’m just now playing it, I’m 14

You are all beautiful people, anyone into Zelda as a child sure enough grew up with a good heart
I believe this to be true
i always thought about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kids who played zelda end up being successful in life
Really wish I was into it. I was a halo kid. Loved it
@@Ironhide06 halo had some mystical sounds too 💚
i like how its not kind of depressing like most vaporwave. nice work :)
I harbour massive nostalgia for this game, this remix takes those feelings and empowers them into something positive, rather than tainting the nostalgia with the unfortunate reality that we will never be able to relive those happy memories.
I've been using this song to help me wake up for the past 4 years and I just want to say thank you because some days it feels impossible to move from my bed until I play this mix.
