I almost ugly cried listening to that part, knowing we’ll probably never see them in another game again🙁 either way it was breathtaking hearing that rendition
I don't cry when playing games much, but being able to listen to this after waiting 6 years to play this incredible game, and finally completing it, was so satisfying, I couldn't help but cry. Being able to be on the frontlines for such an incredible experience, was awe inspiring. I was late to the party with BOTW, about a year 1/2 late, and by that time I knew pretty much everything I would see, but with Tears of the Kingdom? A completely fresh experience. I was learning about the mechanics, the story, the world, at the same rate as everyone else, and it was magical. Having that unmarred experience of a game without any spoilers is a truly beautiful thing that I feel isn't respected enough these days. I love this game, and I love this song for it's ability to bring together every major musical leitmotif displayed within the game in one beautiful medley...The BOTW style of Zelda game can still grow, but if they released a DLC that was a final goodbye to the open world genre, they could easily utilize this song to do so. BOTW revolutionized not only the open world genre, but gaming in general, but TOTK? It is the game of the year. It is the epitome of open world genre. Developers will be looking at TOTK for years to come as not only a successor to BOTW, but as a masterclass in video game development, music, and concept. TLDR: I fucking love this game
I'd drink to that! Exactly captivates my thoughts on this game as well. Coming in blind to this game really held up and, dare I say, just as well as BOTW; it's possibly even better.
This game felt like a big celebration of what makes Zelda Zelda, and the music was so good throughout all of it. I have never sobbed as hard at a game due to the music. That main theme connecting with Botw. God it hits hard. I basically grew up playing botw, and now the second game is here. Wow. I can’t get over how feelings this makes me feel. It’s very good.
Same man. The only other LOZ game I had was LTTP for the GBA. Back then I had zero clue what I was doing and just kept going around doing the intro part over and over cuz I was only like 4-5 years old at the time and mainly played Mario kart. Come 2014-16 when I started to learn about the LOZ series through smash 4 and got BOTW. Since BOTW came out I had loved the series ever since. Got scared to leave the plateau area (I am autistic and have issues “committing” to stuff) and didn’t play it until like 2018 (2017-2019 was a weird era for me because I tried fitting in at middle school and high school). Beat the main story in summer of 2019 before I got my switch. From like 2020 to about 2021 when my Wii U pro controller stopped working because the battery went to crap I played BOTW nonstop. It was definitely the most fun I’ve had in any game that I’ve actually played and not gone around multiple circles like an idiot for 20+ hours straight in game.
Greatest game of all time! I decided to finish it today and I was taken away. If Nintendo is planning on making a Zelda movie I would look forward to a movie version of this game. They might do botw as the first one but as long as they do this as well I’m all for it
To be honest, I would like a more original movie that takes the key things of the Zelda franchise and combines them to make something new enhanced by the vision of the people working on it. Also, a TV anime adaptation of the Twilight Princess manga would be great.
@@KnotPhound I would love a Twilight Princess anime adaptation involving the manga’s additions as well. Also, I hope Akira Himekawa adapts Skyward Sword after Twilight Princess wraps up, so much of Skyward Sword’s cast is ripe for very substantial character development in a more deliberate narrative medium. Whereas Groose in-game is already well-developed, but what about others? Maybe if Fi learning to look at things non-analytically and more personally helps that ending payoff even more. Or Impa grows more trustful of Link as Link himself gains some humility for his shortcomings. The framework is very much there for a more traditionally narrative-driven medium to take advantage of it.
Also just generally-speaking the Zelda manga is my immediate response when somebody brings up Link talking outside of video games. Because using a cartoon made in the 1980’s where many cartoons focused primarily on marketing over actual adaptation (and video game narratives were minimal).
@@corrinflakes9659 Yeah, I completely agree. The 1980s cartoon really messed up the perspective of most people on how Link would be if he spoke. Personally, I've never liked the justification of "the player being more inserted into the character" because I don't think you can relate thst easily to what is basically a frame of a character, which is what has happened in most of the games, like Twilight Princess. I really love how the manga manages to make Link an incredibly sharply written character.
i love botw and totk, and they are my favorite zelda games and also my favorite versions of link and zelda, but honestly i dont think this would work for a movie, i'd rather to be a manga based on this story like the OoT and TP mangas, and then if there is a movie it should be an original story using the elements of the zelda franchise
I was so goddamn emotional when the credits rolled, I couldn’t even believe how fucking beautiful it was!💚My new favorite game of all time and favorite Zelda title!
i only played and finished botw in january and was like wow that game is amazing how did i miss out on this for so many years. fast forward to today and, i’ve had this game for a week and a day, dumped probably 8+ hours into it each day and wow, this game is truly a masterpiece. nintendo, bravo.
When this theme started playing, I could hold it no longer and just started crying and laughing. Gosh darn this game and its ending we’re both so freaking amazing. Bravo, Nintendo
This was way better than Breath of the Wilds Credits since they just threw a bunch of tracks in there 😂😂 I’m glad they went back to making an actual credits soundtrack that flows really well
This game shut my freaking mouth, I thought it was going to be nothing more that a rehash of BOTW. It also didn’t help that while I liked BOTW I just completed the divine beasts, killed Ganon and moved on to another game because I got bored. It’s probably because I just beaten it, but I think I found my new favorite game of all time. I’m a person that normally doesn’t spend a lot of time on the same game, but somehow, this game managed to keep me so engaged to the point I almost completed everything before beating the final boss (I’m still missing koroks). Genuinely the most fun I’ve had in a really long time.
7:15 I just have to love how this must be the "clear" version of the eerie chanting from the E3 Teaser/Prologue/Gloom's Lair. It's fast-paced, it's still as distorted as before, but it doesn't sound ominous like it did. Not even when it reprises in 9:25
It's a common motif in VGM called the Mitsuda lick that was originally in Chrono Trigger. But with it starting on the tonic, it definitely gives heavy Pokémon Theme vibes!
Timestamps: (based off @StanpyLongNose, with some modifications) 0:00 Intro 0:03 Main Theme (Piano) 0:33 Title Theme 1:48 Tulin's Theme 2:49 Yunobo's Theme 3:57 Sidon's Theme 5:00 Riju's Theme 6:15 Mineru's Theme 7:15 Main Theme 9:57 Outro oh yeah also 4:44 (Pokémon Theme) and 3:12 (Megalovania-sounding)
They saved that for the secret ending cutscene. If you haven’t seen it, get all the memories and watch it. The last song played is the classic Zelda theme motif and it hits SUPER hard!
So is the order of the credits always Turin, Yunobo, Sidon, and Riju? I thought maybe it changed to be whatever order you did the quests in, because that’s the same order I did them in
Okay, the use of the main theme at the end of this is honestly a bit awkward due to how said main theme ends on such a *sinister* note. Like, this is the end credits to a game about a noble hero courageously fighting to save his world from an ancient evil which, spoilers, ends with the noble hero successfully saving his world from an ancient evil. So why are the final notes of the end credits theme so ominous? ...I kinda wish both BotW and TotK had more unique credits themes rather than just literally being a "Greatest hits" replay of some of the game's main leitmotifs. I mean, a lot of Zeldas do that, but it's typically a bit more... rearranged to fit the feel of an ending? Thinking particularly of how Wind Waker's credits song basically combined every single heroic character's theme into a single continuous melody and it all fit together beautifully. Meanwhile this... feels very disjointed. I mean the tracks they play here *are* good, just... they barely connect.
It's segmented and disconnected so that it can play in the order of what regions you helped save, the player creates the order of the song. I think that's incredibly creative, and each regional section is a unique composition that doesn't appear anywhere else in the game, which is WAY better than what we got in BotW (which was just a best-hits compilation like you said). TLDR, TotK did it right, BotW didn't.
It's also unintentionally humerous since the ominous bit kicks in (or at least kicked in for me) right when the copyright information scrolled into view at the end of the credits
Im not going to deny the fact that the music for tears of the kingdom is absolutely incredible. The problem I have with it is how unmemorable it is. Some of the tunes from older games they use in almost every Zelda game due to how memorable they are. For example Zeldas Lullaby which has been around forever. And the main theme in general. The ones you find yourself singing randomly are not even from this game. I can sing every song from Ocarina of Time due to how catchy they are. That one song from the marching mask in Majoras mask anyone whos played the game and used the mask can remember forever. Thats part of what leaves the largest long term impact in the older zelda games is how catchy the tunes are. While theres no doubt TOTK is one of the most fun and complex games I have ever played, I doubt it will have a lasting impact on me like Ocarina of Time did. Heck I have 200 hours in BOTW and can hardly remember the story. But I only have 30 hours max in OOT yet I will never forget the story. So hopefully in the next game we will see the retyrn of memorable songs.
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at 8:56? I know it's basically the final fall, but this version is more epic and I can't find it since I don't know the name of it. And yes, I did try "trailer song". I still wasn't able to find it
Originally I was quite disappointed at this sequel and how most things didn’t feel touched upon from BOTW and how samey the game felt… but the ending was just fantastic. Three incredibly hard Ganondorf fights, an exhilarating penultimate final boss… topped off with these credits. While I don’t think TOTK was a masterpiece and certainly not the greatest game ever made… this game deserves all the love and attention its getting. Outstanding job to everyone from Nintendo… ❤️
"samey the game felt"? Almost everything was changed, TWO, I repeat, TWO layers of map were added to the existing one. New story, new characters, and the list goes on. I'm quite disappointed that you're disappointed because you thought the game didn't make you feel the way you wanted it to be.
@@jpsun14And is that a bad thing? The two new layers of the map were neat at first but rarely added anything new to the experience, most of the main story is done on mainland and areas you already saw in the original. And the main problem with this “sequel” is the overall structure and how it was just the original in almost the same regard. 90% of the cast are returning from BOTW, you visit the same locations again, you find memories to piece the story together again, and certain points are straight up the first title AGAIN. You can have new stuff in a game, but if that execution of said structure is poorly done, then your sequel either fails or isn’t well liked. There’s a reason why many people criticize Star Wars 7, or God of War Ragnarok, or anything that even is remotely similar to its predecessor. Tell me you did not play Tears of the Kingdom and think “this is just like the first game” without telling me you played Tears of the Kingdom
Just gotta wait another 6 years for another masterpiece. Masterpieces are in short supply these days. I’m not really expecting anything else for this year. Spider-Man will probably be great but I doubt a masterpiece. Starfield who knows dude, could be a new Skyrim, it could be absolute trash.
So like hot take (Just a valid opinion), the 1st song playing in the intro of the game, and the every last song playing in the credits are 2 of the only good songs that came from this game. Zelda always had amazing ambient music for the overworld and dungeons, and greaaat boss music. But this game just like botw does not hit the quality of music im looking for. Botw had its main theme, the castle was alright, and the only other song I actually really enjoyed was the dlc bosses theme which was pretty good. This game had its intro walk into the basement theme, sidons theme (a copy of botw's but slightly different), koghas was solid, gannon, and the cutscenes had decent music. BUT THATS IT. The ambient music almost didnt even exist, the dungeons more or less had nothing, and overworld music I dont even remember hearing I have over 60 hours in in totk already. Love the games, bring back the good music, sorry for ranting.
@@JakeYolk bro listen I like really gotta disagree with you there, like you could not have played any of the other games, go right now listen to molgeras theme from wind waker which the boss colgera itself was made out of (not the music, just the boss)
@@darknight9886 i did listen to that theme, i think this one is better. I played wind waker and loved the music but totk has some of the best songs in the franchise, while not having the same quantity as the rest of the games. Calling the dungeon themes and boss themes bad is just disrespectful, shit bro Colgera literally uses Dragon Roost and Molgeras theme in it, just for a motif on the latter but still
@@JakeYolk Calling those dungeon themes and boss themes better than any other zelda game is disrespectful, you could somewhat defend that a singular boss theme is decent, but just like the rest of the game the dungeon music is ambient nothingness. Go listen to any song from twilight princess and tell me it isn't the most memorable stupid tune for an area. Also what better songs? I said the like 4 songs that were solid, 2 of which being the literal 1st song in the game and the credit song. And the other good music was in cutscenes. The rest is ambient forgettable music.
Hot take: the staff credits from both Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild... Kind of suck... Like... A LOT! Just let me explain. In previous games Nintendo created a whole new theme using rearrangements from the game's most iconic melodies, but using them as a foundation to create something new. BotW and TotK don't do that. They just take themes from the game and stitch them together as they are, with no further arrangements, or even recordings. They feel as if they were made by the intern in an afternoon on Audicity. They feel beyond lazy. Yes, the themes they use are magnificent (which makes the themes feel even more out of place. How come such excellent soundtracks have such lazy staff credits?), but when you compare them to what Nintendo use to make for Zelda staff credits themes, it's indescribably underwhelming.
Beginner Zelda player here. I've only really played BOTW and TOTK. Which would you say is a good example of a Staff Credits theme in any of the previous games? Genuine question, want to enjoy them as well :)
@@nandologia_ I have never played a single Zelda game before, but I adore the franchise’s soundtracks. I strongly recommend Skyward Sword Staff Roll, 30th Anniversary edition. It’s regarded to be one of the best medleys of Zelda music.
I think the staff credits for TOTK and BOTW are awesome. But eh, maybe that's just me. TOTK in general has probably the best Zelda music IMO. Staff Credits are no exception.
BotW was lazy like you said, but each region based section in TotK's credits were a unique composition made for the credits. They are individual and segmented because they play in the order you saved each region. I think that's incredibly special and unique.
@@nandologia_ Just wanted to hop in and recommend the staff credits theme for Twilight Princess!! I may be a little biased but it's the best one in my opinion :)

Like, this is the end credits to a game about a noble hero courageously fighting to save his world from an ancient evil which, spoilers, ends with the noble hero successfully saving his world from an ancient evil. So why are the final notes of the end credits theme so ominous?
...I kinda wish both BotW and TotK had more unique credits themes rather than just literally being a "Greatest hits" replay of some of the game's main leitmotifs. I mean, a lot of Zeldas do that, but it's typically a bit more... rearranged to fit the feel of an ending? Thinking particularly of how Wind Waker's credits song basically combined every single heroic character's theme into a single continuous melody and it all fit together beautifully. Meanwhile this... feels very disjointed. I mean the tracks they play here *are* good, just... they barely connect.
They should’ve played the one from trailer 3.
It's segmented and disconnected so that it can play in the order of what regions you helped save, the player creates the order of the song. I think that's incredibly creative, and each regional section is a unique composition that doesn't appear anywhere else in the game, which is WAY better than what we got in BotW (which was just a best-hits compilation like you said). TLDR, TotK did it right, BotW didn't.
It's also unintentionally humerous since the ominous bit kicks in (or at least kicked in for me) right when the copyright information scrolled into view at the end of the credits
Ominous credits theme when the copyright info showed up.honestly seemed fitting imp
Maybe is sinister because he's going to have to fight the evil again, you know since they get reincarnated.
Did the main theme not play in this game?
There’s several renditions of it within the game, but the theme itself didn’t I don’t think
Well just in these credits at least
You hear spares notes of it through out the memories and the secret ending has maybe a bar of it.
@@NSC745 when ganon becomes his normal form again it also plays, like the reverse vocals part except like an orchestra choir
@@NSC745 (right before the final battle)
Im not going to deny the fact that the music for tears of the kingdom is absolutely incredible. The problem I have with it is how unmemorable it is. Some of the tunes from older games they use in almost every Zelda game due to how memorable they are. For example Zeldas Lullaby which has been around forever. And the main theme in general. The ones you find yourself singing randomly are not even from this game. I can sing every song from Ocarina of Time due to how catchy they are. That one song from the marching mask in Majoras mask anyone whos played the game and used the mask can remember forever. Thats part of what leaves the largest long term impact in the older zelda games is how catchy the tunes are. While theres no doubt TOTK is one of the most fun and complex games I have ever played, I doubt it will have a lasting impact on me like Ocarina of Time did. Heck I have 200 hours in BOTW and can hardly remember the story. But I only have 30 hours max in OOT yet I will never forget the story. So hopefully in the next game we will see the retyrn of memorable songs.
Why can’t I see likes anymore?
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at 8:56? I know it's basically the final fall, but this version is more epic and I can't find it since I don't know the name of it. And yes, I did try "trailer song". I still wasn't able to find it
i think its just known as the main theme
Originally I was quite disappointed at this sequel and how most things didn’t feel touched upon from BOTW and how samey the game felt… but the ending was just fantastic. Three incredibly hard Ganondorf fights, an exhilarating penultimate final boss… topped off with these credits.
While I don’t think TOTK was a masterpiece and certainly not the greatest game ever made… this game deserves all the love and attention its getting. Outstanding job to everyone from Nintendo… ❤️
The final boss was easier than beast ganon but the demon dragon was just a far better spectacle it didn't matter.
"samey the game felt"? Almost everything was changed, TWO, I repeat, TWO layers of map were added to the existing one. New story, new characters, and the list goes on.
I'm quite disappointed that you're disappointed because you thought the game didn't make you feel the way you wanted it to be.
@@jpsun14And is that a bad thing? The two new layers of the map were neat at first but rarely added anything new to the experience, most of the main story is done on mainland and areas you already saw in the original. And the main problem with this “sequel” is the overall structure and how it was just the original in almost the same regard. 90% of the cast are returning from BOTW, you visit the same locations again, you find memories to piece the story together again, and certain points are straight up the first title AGAIN. You can have new stuff in a game, but if that execution of said structure is poorly done, then your sequel either fails or isn’t well liked. There’s a reason why many people criticize Star Wars 7, or God of War Ragnarok, or anything that even is remotely similar to its predecessor. Tell me you did not play Tears of the Kingdom and think “this is just like the first game” without telling me you played Tears of the Kingdom
I was looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy, I'm really enjoying Hogwarts Leagacy, Tears of the Kingdom is the superior game in every aspect.
Just gotta wait another 6 years for another masterpiece. Masterpieces are in short supply these days. I’m not really expecting anything else for this year. Spider-Man will probably be great but I doubt a masterpiece. Starfield who knows dude, could be a new Skyrim, it could be absolute trash.
and people say this game is just a dlc of the first...
@@Shuraiki same people that have a series x or ps5. Jealous they don’t have as good of games lmao.
@@49HEALTHYeah, and there's even people who say this game is better than Elden Ring. And they would be right
Where are the champions in totk?
Nach den credits in BOTW sied man wie die recken und der könig werschwinden (Google translate)
people: botw was better, totk SUCKS
totk music:
Dark Beast Ganon wishes to speak with you.
So like hot take (Just a valid opinion), the 1st song playing in the intro of the game, and the every last song playing in the credits are 2 of the only good songs that came from this game. Zelda always had amazing ambient music for the overworld and dungeons, and greaaat boss music. But this game just like botw does not hit the quality of music im looking for. Botw had its main theme, the castle was alright, and the only other song I actually really enjoyed was the dlc bosses theme which was pretty good. This game had its intro walk into the basement theme, sidons theme (a copy of botw's but slightly different), koghas was solid, gannon, and the cutscenes had decent music. BUT THATS IT. The ambient music almost didnt even exist, the dungeons more or less had nothing, and overworld music I dont even remember hearing I have over 60 hours in in totk already. Love the games, bring back the good music, sorry for ranting.
Mid take… the dungeons had great music and the bosses did as well. Colgera’s theme is probably one of the best in the series
@@JakeYolk bro listen I like really gotta disagree with you there, like you could not have played any of the other games, go right now listen to molgeras theme from wind waker which the boss colgera itself was made out of (not the music, just the boss)
@@darknight9886 i did listen to that theme, i think this one is better. I played wind waker and loved the music but totk has some of the best songs in the franchise, while not having the same quantity as the rest of the games. Calling the dungeon themes and boss themes bad is just disrespectful, shit bro Colgera literally uses Dragon Roost and Molgeras theme in it, just for a motif on the latter but still
@@JakeYolk Calling those dungeon themes and boss themes better than any other zelda game is disrespectful, you could somewhat defend that a singular boss theme is decent, but just like the rest of the game the dungeon music is ambient nothingness. Go listen to any song from twilight princess and tell me it isn't the most memorable stupid tune for an area. Also what better songs? I said the like 4 songs that were solid, 2 of which being the literal 1st song in the game and the credit song. And the other good music was in cutscenes. The rest is ambient forgettable music.
@@darknight9886 L take no point arguing with you.
First
yet again instead of an original theme they just put random themes together making 1 messy credits theme, zeldas ost just gave up on making music ig
Hot take: the staff credits from both Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild... Kind of suck... Like... A LOT!
Just let me explain.
In previous games Nintendo created a whole new theme using rearrangements from the game's most iconic melodies, but using them as a foundation to create something new.
BotW and TotK don't do that. They just take themes from the game and stitch them together as they are, with no further arrangements, or even recordings. They feel as if they were made by the intern in an afternoon on Audicity. They feel beyond lazy.
Yes, the themes they use are magnificent (which makes the themes feel even more out of place. How come such excellent soundtracks have such lazy staff credits?), but when you compare them to what Nintendo use to make for Zelda staff credits themes, it's indescribably underwhelming.
Beginner Zelda player here. I've only really played BOTW and TOTK. Which would you say is a good example of a Staff Credits theme in any of the previous games? Genuine question, want to enjoy them as well :)
@@nandologia_ I have never played a single Zelda game before, but I adore the franchise’s soundtracks. I strongly recommend Skyward Sword Staff Roll, 30th Anniversary edition. It’s regarded to be one of the best medleys of Zelda music.
I think the staff credits for TOTK and BOTW are awesome. But eh, maybe that's just me. TOTK in general has probably the best Zelda music IMO. Staff Credits are no exception.
BotW was lazy like you said, but each region based section in TotK's credits were a unique composition made for the credits. They are individual and segmented because they play in the order you saved each region. I think that's incredibly special and unique.
@@nandologia_ Just wanted to hop in and recommend the staff credits theme for Twilight Princess!! I may be a little biased but it's the best one in my opinion :)
Just beat the game.
Literaly cried when 00:55 part starts 😭 what a ride
