This composition is based on Zelda "Lost Woods" Theme.
When I made this composition I imagined a place that is more deep than the lost woods, with the sensation of being in autumn, and I made my best to represent the nostalgia of the lost woods but in a way that goes according to the map the devs showed me.
Also here's a video of me composing this theme, well the last part of the theme(I streamed it): • [ESP/ENG]Componiendo e...

Esta composición está basada en "Lost Woods" de Zelda.
Cuando hice esta composición me imaginé un lugar que está más en el fondo del bosque perdido, donde se tiene la sensación de otoño, y hice lo que pude para representar la nostalgia de los bosques perdidos pero de una forma que se adapte al mapa que me mostraron.

This song is like the pure melancholy of fall condensed into an n64 sound font. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I can practically smell the petrichor and see the gray skies.
Never realized how beautiful this place is. The autumn colored leafs gives a sense of ever since the Great Deku Tree died from Ganondorfs curse. The lost woods is slowly changing…
10/10. Music makes zelda, and this is as good as any zelda music, so IMO, this is canon.
Facts this may as well be the official ost.
This track is one of the most atmospheric pieces to ever come out of the OoT or MM soundfonts. My 5 year old has been watching me play through both of those games over the last few months, and he loves the music.
I randomly played this track for him the other day without specifically saying it was from Zelda and asked him what he thought. He told me he thinks Link is lost and we need to help him 😭
Sounds like the sort of music that would play when your so deep into the lost woods, eventually the lost woods theme stops playing and you hear this instead.
You said it!
Also the forest is dying in agony because the deku tree is dead…
Awesome idea.
@@zacharykenniston748Even though it survived just fine 7 years later in the adult timeline. There was even a new deku tree sprout, which would end up being the Great Deku Tree in Wind Waker's Forest Haven.
@@msw0322Zelda and Link Split the universe into separate timelines when she returned him to the past for the final time. Enjoy this for what it is! A unique near-canon take on the gap between OoT and MM.
I think this song does a great job connecting you with Link as a Zelda fan.
Is somewhat familiar, and yet you get deeper into the unknown towards something completely strange. You get an uneasy yet nostaslgic sensation as you hear the echo of the distant land that nobody dared to know. Link doesn't have a fairy anymore, you are likely to get forever lost and witness Link dissapear forever, and who knows what he'll find during these travels, to the point where he ended up basically in a new dimension.
Honestly one of my favorite songs of any Zelda franchise, it really competes with some great Nintendo composers while being his own thing, Great job.
It reminds me of the Forest Maze theme and setup from Mario RPG
I love how original this is while also building on OoT's music
Thank you man, means a loot! :D
feels like that can't return to childhood
Dude I didn't even know you were the composer for a good 5 min before reading comments. This track is absolutely beautiful and I listen to it every night to help me sleep as it's so calming and just hypnotizing. Especially with a dash of lost woods to give me that nostalgia high....perfect. This takes me back to when I was a kid listening to OOT OST for the first time and just feeling the music. And I mean FEELING the music. I cannot express enough how amazing this is for me personally to listen to. Also thanks for the extended cuz I was getting kinda tired of resetting my phone every 2 or 3 min when the song ended. Now I can just lay and enjoy.
Ohh man, thank you for the large comment. I'm really happy you enjoyed this theme to that level. I really tried my best to represent the Deep Woods
@@Zerovolt0V You don't happen to have any kind of sheet I can use because learning this on my ocarina would be awesome
@@mrplayfulshade Sheet for ocarina hmmm, I could do one actually, contact me on discord if you're interested: Zerovolt0V#8817
@@Zerovolt0V I sent ya a request, Mrplayfulshade
cada de vez en cuando pienso en esto, cuando este hack salio tenia 13 y estaba en un momento en el que estaba obsesionado y consumia puro contenido de Zelda a muerte, y coincidencialmente este hack salio como un prologo a MM y como que se me grabo jajs
Already 4 years.......
And still a great Hack that gave us a possible Story we deserve since 2000
i really like how melancholic this sounds
the long notes in the back kinda give this feeling that nobody's been here before for hundreds of years
It's no longer ocarina of time, great interpretation
I love how this theme gives off both familiarity and the unknown at the same time.
This song truly gives that “Feeling” and over last summer this song was the only thing giving 2021 a pure happiness
i recently just found out about the missing link romhack, and im so in love with the ost. its literally perfect.
This Soundtrack was just used in a Video from a german TH-camr (Jules) with 1.5 Million views
Ach geil ist dir das auch aufgefallen 😂
Really? 😮
Instant respect, posting this as an extended version 😈
Don't worry, I might do a 2 hour one if it gets so popular hahaha
😈
Nostalgia, mysterious, mystical, cold, and maybe even trepidation are the things that come to my mind while hearing this. It has a very unique and recognizable melody. And suddenly, Saria’s song shows up in the middle of this composition, giving you a little warm sensation and hope, lightening that depressing atmosphere the overall music gives you. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Zelda music tracks despite not being official. Magnificent job.
That saria part really hit me
I think what I love about this is that it's basically Link who has returned to his childhood after his big adventure. Now he's a bit more experienced and now being told that something is happening in Kokiri Forest, so he sets off for the lost woods, which this track has the melody we know but since he's going to a new part of the woods it gives off a more mysterious vibe. As if you're both in a familiar and yet different location.
I love this. It definitely gives the vibe of autumn and the changing seasons.
Thank you! :)
Sacred Grove, Lost woods and Deep Woods all hold a special place in my heart!
I also enjoy Lost Woods (ALTTP/ALBW), Forest Haven (WW), Faron Woods (TP), Minish Woods (MC), Faron Woods (SS), Korok Forest (BOTW/TOTK), and even the Lost Woods/Tarm Ruins theme from Oracle of Seasons is atmospheric. The forest areas in Zelda games are my favorite for some reason.
This song is so melancholic in the fact it makes you FEEL.
The memories of the hot Summer gives way to the season of Fall. Days are getting shorter, and you will soon begin to experience the cooling chill of the Harvest season. Nature has begun the wrap up of its annual cycle, and leaves are beginning to fall off the trees as they slowly begin to go dormant for the remainder of days until next year.
This tune makes you reminisce of younger, better days, as the rather somber harmony of the Deep Woods tells the reality of the seasons.
Thanks for the great analysis and I'm happy you liked it!
I'm so glad I found this game.
This song is, like, 90% of the reason why.
Hands down my favorite track from this game, so good🔥
As a fan of Zelda and its soundtracks, I must say that what you did with this game is just incredible. It's like I am travelling down Hyrule and Termina at the same time. Happiness and despair co-exist in this really beautiful piece of art. Congratulations.
Thanks!!!! :'D
Masterpiece, absolutely not inferior to the greatest zelda pieces. Perfectly evocative, lore accurate amazing song.
Thank you!!! I'm honored
Honestly this song really fits well with the theme and vibe of the deep woods. It really makes me remember how when I was little I would always wonder what was deeper into the lost woods. It just really fits well with the mysterious and unknown feeling you get.
I can listen to this for hours.
There are sometimes I find myself whistling and humming the melody.
So precious and overwhelming.
A fantastic work!
Thanks a lot ☺️☺️
There's something so fucking compelling about the lost woods in this iteration of Zelda as this, like, seemingly infinite forest on the edge of the known world that in some way connects Link to Termina that just fills me with this feeling of, like... I want to say awe but it's tinged with fear. I just imagine it, right, going deep into the lost woods. So deep you can't see the sun anymore.
So deep it stops making euclidean sense.
So deep you start to wonder if it ever ends.
So deep that you realize it doesn't.
Like it's no wonder the kid died and became a stalfos. This kind of thing is more than him, even if he's a hero.
Para los que no se dan cuenta aún, el track tiene una mezcla de la guitarra que se usa en Twilight princess , el estilo siniestro de una melodía características de Majora's Mask y el semi sample de Lost Woods de OOT. Tremenda joya nos dejó ese fan game
En realidad la guitarra es de Majora's Mask, aunque sí se parece a la de twilight princess :'D Me alegra que te haya gustado!
God tier banger. I was watching Vinny’s playthrough and heard this banger ❤
i havent played this yet but i have it in mind that the story for this is about how link got lost in the woods without navi to guide him home and he dies in the woods, and thus explaining the start of majoras, the missing link. its like a sad interlude to links inevitable passing
This is actually a great composition
Thank you!
Hearing this reminds me of how far I've come with life with adapting to new changes everyday
this is soooo good! It reminds me of OSTs from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon & Chrono Trigger! LOVE IT!
I would like to say that the entire soundtrack of the game is absolutely AMAZING. I just watched someone play this today, and was blown away by how familiar and foreign the music was. It definitely has that Zelda feel to it, and the mystery of the game is definitely helped out by the music.
Again, this is amazing! I could listen to this for hours!
The music is just incredible! Every song sounds completely authentic, as if it was just a long lost hidden track from either Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. I feel as though I've gotten two hours of my childhood back.when I listen to this
Dang, the forebodingness and the idea of not knowing what's going to happen...
so interesting & mysterious. you really nailed it with this one. can't believe how late I am to discovering the lost link.
It's still not late!
This soundtrack's ability to make me feel an emotion, compared to almost all other music is outstanding. To this day all these years later I am still dumbfounded by it, I don't get it.
this feels like an internet checkpoint, and you know what, i love it, this is such a well done theme
Anyone else listen to this on loop for... too long lol
Edit: This is good shitting music. I'm imagining running through an enchanted forest from an unknown foe in whom my fear is placed, and having to stop to doodoo in angst. Such a damn good song
"This is good shitting music"
I'm going to take a mystical dump in the Deep Woods, god help me-
*PFFFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRTTTTT*
Some rando Stalfos: WHO JUST SHAT IN MAH WOODS, DA'GUMMIT?!!!
Your soundtracks give me those curiosity/suspense/mystery vibes I've always wanted in a Zelda N64 game
so beautiful and mysterious. in love with this. amazing
This is honestly one of my favourite Zelda tracks. This is better than anything in WW, TP, SS or BOTW.
Actually crazy how ZeroVolt made such a good soundtrack by himself that rivals a multi million dollar company
This song has the mood of twilight princess faron woods with saria's song as the main melody
I love it
Yes, indeed, I had inspiration from twilight princess soundtrack c:
Twilight Princess vibe for sure, but I think I hear Calm and Hope more than the I hear the Faron Woods theme.
I could listen to this for years omg
One of the best Zelda songs I have ever heard. It captures that nostalgia perfectly. Takes me back to a time when the only thing I had to worry about was figuring out how to beat the water level in OoT or how to get the hookshot in MM. Thank you making this masterpiece!
Hearing this makes me want to go on a real life zelda adventure
I'd love to play some zelda VR sometime hahahah
@@Zerovolt0V 5 months later :o
@@BottledPoeSorry, I dissapeared from the internet some time ago
I'm back though :)
@@Zerovolt0V kewl
Zero I wish I could’ve played this phenomenal romhack but honestly this soundtrack is enough for me. God tier work and you absolutely inspire me as a composer. Much love ❤️
No problem man, I'm really happy you love the soundtrack, I'm still improving and always will, be sure to check out the new songs
en mi hora más oscuras vengo a consolarme con estas notas tan hermosas, que bonito
This is a good song to meditate to
New use for this song 😄
This is by far the greatest Zelda melody ever created. Thank you so much for extending this masterpiece.
No worries : ). I'm the composer/arranger for this song btw
My gf got me an ocarina for my birthday and I’m trying to play along to this, up there with my favourite Zelda music it’s so so good
The music was amazing, I remember playing missing link back in November 2020 and I enjoyed this calm relaxing masterpiece of a song you have created.
Thank you!!!!
@@Zerovolt0V np man
Perfect.
Just bloody perfect.
I just beat this game today, excelent job.
I just had a dream were i was basically exploring the depths of my mind and it looked pretty much like a version of Lost Woods that gets creepier the more you get to the deep so i guess now this is officially part of my minds songs
This really nails down the vibe of a courageous hero finally returning home to the beautiful and nostalgic Magical Hyrule after becoming a miserable and cynical adult.
Something about this just felt nostalgic. Don’t know why.
This is a masterpiece. It's new yet it feels very nostalgic. I keep coming back to this video, it calms me down. Props to you Zerovolt0V, you are an amazing human being.
I watched zfg play this and remember hearing this song thinking “ dam I definitely need to just listen to that while I draw” great job this is amazing and thanks for uploading an extended version!
Ohh, you're a zfg fan, me too! I'm so happy you've remembered this song! I'm really considering making a 2 hour extended version for this song in particular. So happy you like my work!
Probably one of my favorite fan games of all time. Majora’s mask will always be my favorite game though.
Majora's mask is my favorite zelda too!
@@Zerovolt0V what can I say the 3 day cycles and the moon are my favorite parts of the game. I’m practically a master at that game. I can 3 cycle the game all heart pieces and fierce dietys mask.
The atmosphere is immaculate, you completely nailed it. Genuinely rivals many of the official tracks from OOT and MM. Original with just enough nostalgia sprinkled in.
Love it - looking forward to listening to more of your work!
Okay I feel like I should comment again now that I've noticed the whole OST is done by you, again, just absolutely fantastic. You really made a work of art and I'll be sharing it around as much as possible. Thank you!
I found this particular video just because I wanted an extended version of this song and then saw you were the composer. I have to say how incredibly amazing this song is. I'm a huge zelda junkie, I constantly listen to zelda lofi and symphonies in my everyday life so much my young children hum zelda music and this is by far my favorite rendition of this song, and one of my top favorite zelda songs period. It's so nice to hear it in such a different tone, mysterious and dark but still that happy little nostalgic melody. It has so much depth to it. I hope you realize the masterpiece you've created! I just wish more people knew about it, it deserves so much more fame than it has and I know other zelda fans would love to hear this. This song was the most memorable part of the game for me, I've shown so many people it since i played it the other day. I literally put it on just down to do my skincare routine, I can't seem to turn it off.
Thank you man, I'm really happy it helps with your skincare routine. I've played Zelda games since I was a child and I have been in love with the music since then! and when I got to compose these I really tried my best to bring to life n64 zelda kind of music.
@Zerovolt0V I just saw this! And it helps me with everything, it's so peaceful but haunting and different but familiar. Honestly I can't say enough praise about it. I grew up one zelda (now I'm 31) and you hit the nail on the head! I wish this had more popularity, it deserves it.
Finally!! I've been trying to find an extended version longer than 6 minutes!! Thank you ☺
Best part of the game! Very well done.
Thank you! c':
Yo, Zero, was the whole Lost Woods meets Stone Tower vibe what you were going for? Cause if so that's the best damn combination I've ever heard.
Ay, thanks for the like Zero.
I also got that vibe. It’s like the lost woods became dead inside but still had lingering magic but the dark kind
@@dynogamergurl so... it's normal magic-? The Lost Woods is Black Magic as is, stealing souls and reanimating corpses is literally Necromancy, which is a sub-class of Black Magic.
@@thomashost272 yea meant even darker than what it normally is despite the cheery music. As though it’s not hiding it’s dark underbelly behind cuteness and green
@@dynogamergurl unless you mean the vibes and not the magic, I don't think you CAN get darker in magic than Necromancy.
Loving this! Blessings from the Bahamas
This is one of the best lost woods remixes I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them. It's almost like it's been reimagined for a new era. Great work! I love it! ;)
I'm glad you liked it. Had a slight inspiration in build ups from electro music. Just slight but yes
That intro almost reminds me of "Fade To Black" by Metallica. I know this game isn't official, but this song and the theme for "Deku Road" are really dark and emotional, probably moreso than Nintendo's official Zelda themes.
The auditive and visual theme, music and enviroment is beautiful.
Weirdly comparable and compatible with "Enchanted Woods" in DKC2, while listening to this my subconcient sometimes expect a ghost sounds from that level to sound in here
Thank youu! c:
Very peaceful song.
I loved this soundtrack! Thank you for the extended version!
This sounds like a vet zelda player who has tried dmt
This is by far one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece!!
No problem man, I love composing and I will always be doing it. Be sure to check the new songs 😊
This song is beautiful.
Thank youuu :D
8:28 oye esta parte es buenísima, una movida de genio haber acomodado el leitmotif de los bosques ahi eh, y más porque pasa 1 ciclo del track, y en el segundo ciclo no sé que hiciste pero se siente como si le hubieras puesto 1 nota abajo y queda super misterioso
Me encanta
Fabulous !
Hell yeah
Holy shit this is such an emotional piece.
2:42
tremendo tema/tremendous topic
I literally thought this was a real zelda music and couldn't find which game lol
Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed the music.
perfectamente logrado el sonido para el escenario, digno de un zelda de nintendo, en mi opinion una buena pieza de una obra de arte, felicitaciones, recorde la melodia despues de un tiempo de haber ganado el juego y me fascina realmente
Me parece genial que recuerdes la melodía 😊 es una de las piezas que más ha tenido éxito en mi vida y la verdad no pensaba porque es como un remix de lost woods. Pero la verdad a todas las composiciones que hago les pongo amo, cariño y esfuerzo al hacerlas, siempre he buscado que suene bien el producto final, con todo lo que tenía en el momento.
Thanks for that extented version
No problem man, I did it for you people
Dude this track is absolutely amazing. I love the eerie ambiance. Have you made other tracks like that ?
soundcloud.com/zerovolt0v/mystnightingame Maybe you could like this one c: Check my soundcloud, I have more tracks there. Thank you :'3
@@Zerovolt0V yeah it's that kind of stuff im talkin about :o even if the sound effects of the game dosent help :(
@@Zerovolt0V Damn, that sounds really good. The hey listen actually sounds kind of cool in it lol.
This is a banger 💜
The Twilight rise whit these music.
Makes me want to put on a Ninja outfit and run through some Japanese forest.
Hahahah
So good that I still come here to listen to it since I first heard it. If I may ask, what instruments did you use when making this? I recognize some but can't pinpoint others.
That aside, The Missing Link set the gold standard for Zelda ROM hacks. Every aspect of it oozes of actual Nintendo level quality. If you told me this was a game they made as an in-between of OoT and MM as one last send-off to the N64 but never released for fear of it being poorly received from its short length, I'd have believed you.
The music isn't an exception to this. It sounds like it could be in a real Zelda game. The entire hack feels like it could have been a real Zelda game, and I think that says a lot about the passion the ROM-hacking community has for the games they mod and how they understand what makes the source material good in the first place.
Let me remember: ocarina, oboe, guitar from MM, strings, piano, warm pad, marimba, glockenspiel, bassoon, piccolo, choir from Forest temple and harp. I'm so glad you liked it :')
@@Zerovolt0V Thanks! I aspire to do ROM hacking myself and I've since learned to import custom maps and music. Hopefully I'll get good at making them in the future.
As such, I appreciate the input. Thank you, and the rest of the TML team for being an inspiration.
This would be a great forest temple theme for twilight princess as it was tied to oot and majoras mask
Yeah it also would work on twilight princess I suppose, with better instruments 😊
love this
Thanks! Be sure to check the new ones!
Good job
Thanks!
Took me a while to wrack my brain, but this gives me Metallica - Fade to Black vibes
MAY THE GODS SHINE THEIR LIGHT ON YOU

Belíssimo! Tão perfeito quanto o original ♡♡♡
