@Higher Power only botws link is on his level in terms of everything. He was a literal child soldier mounted with the weight of the entire world, and pushed through. And weve seen what became of him after he achieved the power of godhood.

Words can not describe how much this game was a part of the saddest and happiest times of my childhood. I was 9 when my dad passed away but that year he bought me the N64 and Ocarina of time. I never really played it because it was too difficult to me. After my dad passed away I made it my goal to complete the game 100%. I played for hours and hours each day. Not only did it take away the pain of losing my dad each time I played it brought back the happy memories I had with him. To this day whenever I think of this game it just brings memories and tears of happiness. I know for a lot of people this game was a defining moment of their childhood. Whenever you play ocarina of time, each time it just brings you back to that exact time of your life when you first played it. No other game has ever done that for me
You completed a goal that was hard to achieve, a goal you were meant to complete, something you complicated is something you’ll feel about your father. You completed a adventure for your dad sorry for your loss you’ll meet him soon.
I usually don't post seriously on youtube but your comment hit me because my dad also died when I was 9, and this game is attached to sadness and happiness for me too. But mostly happiness, as you said.... I don't know man, is crazy to read that someone maybe at the order side of world lived an experience so similar. I hope you are doing great today; is hard to grow without a dad, I know... Greeting from Japan.
You say it buddy I'm only 23, but now i realize how fast time is passing away. Played it when i was about seven or eight years old and my grandma watch me play Good old times
well I personally didn't grow up playing this game I definitely get where you're coming from and I probably would have done the same. For me that game was Kingdom Hearts 1 then I would just sit there with the title screen playing it's music.for most of my childhood I constantly wished I could have played a game like Zelda because there was always a longing for a game that would make me feel like I was going on an adventure. And once I got to play the game for the first time I definitely did feel that
This comment will probably go unnoticed but I felt like sharing it with you anyway. I see so many comments in here talking rather somberly about missing their childhoods. While I understand that it's not always easy breezey to be an adult, I think being adult actually becomes more of a holistic and worthwhile experience when we actively keep our inner child alive and well. I don't think it's at all necessary to silence or abandon your inner childlike spirit in the slightest. Sleep a little longer, play videogames you've always loved and enjoyed, breathe deep and allow yourself the things you like and live more in the moment. See your childhood and your childlike spirit as something to protect, not to neglect. Not unlike what Link goes through in Ocarina of Time.
Sheik said it best: "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
@@CrowBag on the contrary, it's relieving, because we saw things with child's eyes and sometimes we forget we used to be naive, positive, and flamboyant. If things looks grim make sure to get a hold of yourself and move on
My girlfriend and I played through this game this year! She surprised me with an N64 packaged with Starfox 64 and Ocarina of Time for my birthday. One of my earliest memories is playing Majora’s Mask at my Aunts house, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or where I was going, but I loved every second of it, the sense of adventure. I had no prior nostalgia towards this game, and yet the experience was so profoundly positive. Getting eaten by Jabu Jabu, going on a scavenger hunt for the Bigoron Sword, slogging through the water temple, So many amazing moments. Best birthday gift ever!
I remember loading up Ocarina of Time in the early morning to play for a few minutes before going to school. The sunrise on Hyrule Field lives rent free in my mind.
You're so right I just got ocarina of time for the 64 and I have it on my 3ds but whenever I hear this I feel so familiar with this game I never played zelda and got into it till a month ago and it seems like this game has always been with me I never grew up playing this because I'm only 14 but hearing this makes it seem like I've know this my while life
@@marcuslopez5370 I FEEL THE EXACT WAY, I was always a diehard Mario/ Pokemon fan, and I never played any zelda, but this song brings so much nostalgia... weird
Because that was one of the most important parts of any Zelda 3D games, and they totally remove it from the new one. Without it is incomplete, you can feel how strong just a single track is, now add 20 more and put an unique ending theme that links to this title one.
Breath of the wild is in the same place as ocarina of time just things have changed as Zelda and link are reborn over and over again. But yeah this-this game keeps me sane
I remember getting this game in junior high, I didn't have a lot of friends, overweight, and just kept to myself a lot. I had told my mom and sister that I wanted this game, and when I got back home they were away. Around 6pm is when they got back, looking tired and drained, but they gave me this game for my birthday. They told me it was the last one near us, and had to drive 2 hours away to pick it up. I remember playing all night, and this song just brings back that memory. I'm 18 soon to be 19, about to enter college. My mother passed away last year, but I'm glad she got me this. I miss you mom. Edit: thank you all for your kind words. For those saying its fake, I wish it was but sadly it isn't. My mother passed away August 22nd, 2020 3:30am after suffering tachycardia and 4 strokes. She was brain dead when she died. Also, she got me the 3ds version, and I will always cherish the memory my mother allowed me to have. Thank you all again, and live a long and happy life, and enjoy your loved ones as much as possible or you'll end up like me, regretting not cherishing my mother and what she was willing to do for me.
Life is really awful sometimes but I’m glad we have things like this to return to. This theme somehow feels fitting for that kind of thought in my opinion. It covers a lot of feelings. I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Make sure to take breaks and relax, especially now. I’m 18 and finishing high school, so I can relate to the stress right now. I wish you the best of luck.
As we all grow up we faintly remember the feeling of running around Hyrule, running after dogs, breaking pots for rupees, playing those minigames in town. But once we picked up the Master Sword we grew up. And when we all really think about it we're just all young Links growing up too fast.
does the composer of this know exactly how much of a masterpiece they made? I listen to this song since I'm 6, and i'm 28 now and it still touches my soul
Assuming this was Koji Kondo, he did an interview where he explained that he spent painstaking time tweaking and reworking the themes he wrote. I'm sure he's humble about it, but he knows how much care and effort went in.
@@ploppyploket4985 yeah! it was pretty neat. this game and majora's mask were my first games, and I doubt I'd have such an interest in video games had my Dad not showed me them.
Certando Erimus I’m glad you have a good father, who sounds like he really cared for you. My dad got me into video games and anime, not Zelda, but still. If he hadn’t got me into either of those, my life would be completely different. - Side note, my dad didn’t get me into Zelda, my aunt and mother did.(in all honesty I think I got him into Zelda.)
I remember I used to play every single Zelda with my dad and he used to finish every single boss cause I was bad and I never understand what was I suppose to do 😔😔
the greatest moment in the game was not when this theme was played for the first time. the greatest moment in the game was when this theme was played for the last time. when you finally beat the game.
I come back to this video whenever I'm having a hard time in life, partly because of how calming it is, but mainly it reminds me of when I was younger, my dad is a nerd and anytime I was having a nightmare or ide come home crying (I was bullied growing up and still slightly am) my dad would play ocarina of time soundtracks, my favourite was the song of the storms and the starting menu music, it always makes me feel so warm and cosy inside and calms me down even in my darkest moments, it makes me feel like a kid wrapped up in a blanket falling asleep to this on my dad's big bed. I miss it sm.
I always hate thinking this. the way this game always just grabs me can never be compared to new games. I've tried so many new games and I love them they all deserve respect and a place in my heart but this will always be number one. I'm not a critic or a nostalgia nerd I've always kept an open mind and heart to new games and I'll admit some have mechanics that far surpass this game but this game will always be my favorite
some of my best memories as a kid are laying on the carpet next to my big bro in front of the old wooden console tv watching him play this for hours on end.. he was my hero.. now we never talk & live only 5 minutes apart.. I think I’ll call him tomorrow. Thanks Pancho D. RIP Victor
I'm glad TH-cam is a time capsule for us. I've spent countless hours watching my brothers play this game, and it was truly enjoyable, almost like watching a movie! This song gave me goosebumps and brought back memories from my childhood, filling my heart with warmth and happiness. My brothers are the reason why my life has been forever changed.
This song... Dark, sobering, melancholy... Makes me think of a care free child suddenly forced to grow up into an adult before even getting to experience their childhood. Stolen innocence by a cruel and unforgiving world. Funny enough, that's what this game is really about, isn't it?
+NEON MULLET This game is about facing your fears to serve a greater good, no matter what the cost might be. A lesson that is worth more than a red ruby.
+Linkin Log Grandpa: Let me tell you a story *tells long story about him playing this wonderful game* Grandpa: And that kids is why you don't mess with f*cking cuccos.
I was 23 when this came out. The N64 is without a doubt the console I had the most fun playing games on. This game took me a long time to finish, I was busy in my early to mid 20's and had at one point just carried on thinking I would never finish it. Then, I had a close friend pass away and I remember someone saying something about finishing an old project or something to help with the coping. So I pulled out the N64, OOT and the walkthrough book and a week or so later I was done. It was in that moment I felt my childhood and adolescence was complete (I was probably 26 or 27). Despite all the trials and successes and failures, I knew I could walk into the future with confidence and closure of all that I would then be leaving behind. It was to me truly a rite of passage. This game saw me through a lot of growth in my life and like everyone else here it will always hold a special place in my heart and my memories and my life and the best video game music ever.
This is what I want played at my funeral one day. It just sums up all the happiness of my childhood, the journey I'm currently taking through life with a beautiful conclusion of solace and comfort.
I’m a 15 year old and I got introduced to the 3ds version of this masterpiece by my Dad and recently replayed the whole thing almost to 100% completion. People have no idea how much joy, sadness, and the feeling of freedom this game brings I could only imagine what it would be like playing this game when it first came out. Hope everyone reading this is having their best life or hopefully making the best of it just remember you are all love and with that I wish you all a good night.
@@MTingyy Wait till you read the official player's guide (which is literally a canon Zelda 64 lore book) and find out the Shadow Temple was "built from the bones of Hyrule's evil dead." This game was dark AF for a Zelda game.
@@W1ckedshort I believe it. The room with the mini boss with the hands (who def gave me and a million other kids nightmares) was covered in bones and guts. It's crazy looking back that the game was rated E.
When Young Link walks away from the Master Sword in the pedestal of time... To me that's the most meaningful moments in all of gaming. The Hero of Time. Entrusted to a village as a baby after his mother's early death. Grows to be a care free child that suddenly is forced to grow up into an adult before even getting to experience their childhood. Stolen innocence by a cruel and unforgiving world, but destined to do so. He who saved this world that would unknownfully later be destroyed again, returns to his childhood to prevent his own mistakes. In doing so he removes the glory that was rightfully his just so that there would be peace in Hyrule. He saved Sacred Hyrule twice from Ganondorf by traveling aside Time and drove Darkness into the Light, rescued a parallel-world "Termina" from Majora. Termina was created through the Hero's OWN subconscious mind, to conquer many fears. For the rest of his life onward he lived a normal life as a Hylian Guard after giving up with failure on his search for the beloved Navi. He died lamenting. After his life his spirit helped his descendant save Hyrule and the Twilight realm and still got absolutely no credit. The Hero of Time is the most epic, courageous, and humble characters in all of gaming. Remember The Hero of Time.
When I was younger and they sent him back to be a kid, I thought it was the worst ending. Now I’m older, I realise being sent back in time to be a child is the best gift anyone could receive.
You're a piece of crap for telling someone what they should or not like, dude I didn't come here to get offended over a fucking video game. I came here to remember the music.
I played this with my dad, and i remember for years i couldnt get passed the Forest Temple because my dad stopped playing, and we only had dial up internet and i didnt know how to use it... i eventually restarted the game and beat the whole game in a matter of a weekend, but i still have fond memories of playing in my dads lap and laughing with him... good times :)
same here. back when I was about 9 or 10. possibly younger. I played this along with super Mario 64, Mario kart and then eventually majoras mask. some of the greatest games ive ever played still to this day. i cant think of very many others. like yoshis story and such was OK but this game was beautifully created. couldn't have made it any better. let me know if you guys can remember any of the amazing games from back then =D
I remember playing this on the 64 with my big brother when we were very young. Now we’re in our mid/late 20s and the family fell apart and we don’t talk to each other anymore. But when I hear this soundtrack and close my eyes everything is back to normal. I’m with my brother. My parents still love each other. Our oldest brother is still alive. I look back at my childhood and I feel like I’m looking at someone else’s memories. That’s how distant I feel from my home that I can never return to. This song captures the idea of time unexpectedly passing in such haunting accuracy and beauty.
A simple song that truly represents so much for me. It truly embodies a simpler time where I didn’t even know life was as good as it was gonna get for a while. A time before grievance, separation, growing up, and self-doubt. Who knew an ocarina could not only turn back time in a game, but in real life as well. Thank you Nintendo.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not a game, it is a beautiful, unforgettable experience. That is why, when I hear this touching melody, I feel a sense of pure joy. That is why I love video games so much and am a diehard Nintendo fan. Nintendo's video games are not just video games, they are unforgettable memories which can be played time and time again. So many people don't understand video games and criticize people for playing them. My dad hates video games and wishes for my time to be spent on anything else aside from Nintendo. But, my heart says otherwise. ... Thank you so much Scrapper9000... for posting this unforgettable melody.
What most people don't realize is that video games can heal you. They represent a fantasy world where the player can feel important, strong, unyielding, accomplished. They allow us to escape from reality where things can be grim and ugly like a drug. They give you a sense of control and safety that no one can take from you. I remember being Link, just wanting to save the world and make everyone happy, just wanting to be him, a hero, ridding myself of my sadness with the help of a beautiful artistic heavenly world.
it was 1999 and school sucked, being a teenager sucked and I was given a N64 with ocarina of time. It brought me excitement and a fantastic adventure every evening I played this game after school. It was like reading a good book and wondering during the day how it would develop later when I picked it up again. We had a really big tv in the living room and I prefered to hook it up there instead of my smaller tv I had in my room. This game in so many ways saved me as a teenager of utterly boredom.
Suddenly you wake up to this music. Then you realize that you turned on your N64 last night to play Zelda but fell asleep to this wonderful tune since you were really tired and your couch felt so cozy. You are still 8 years old. Everything until now was a dream (or a nightmare). Your mom calls you for breakfast. Everything is ok. You can start again.
@@lil_keybo I've heard a story of a teenager who fell and hit their head on a sidewalk. While unconscious they lived out years - schooling, jobs, families, I'm talking decades. They eventually thought a lamp in their living room looked weird and just... stared at it for days on end. Up until the point his imaginary wife left him. I think he got sucked into the lamp or something and woke up 15 years old again. That'll take a couple of therapy trips to say the least
Hero of Hyrule there is a way to beat the magic of this game. 1. Go on any tf2 map 2. Tell your whole team to become engi 3. Make huge fort 4. Defend 5. Work together to stop the demos spys and medics 6. Have a good time
I remember my family moving to a new town and I’d cry all the time. We went from a huge house to a tiny apartment and the only escape I had was this game. It was so magical and vast. I identified with Young Link being forced out of the life he knew and seeing how cool Adult Link was made me want to be brave. What a strange time, but an exciting one. My mom was so patient with me and she appreciated the way this game would comfort me. She remembers all the sound effects and when I play this again around the holidays she’s nostalgic for it too. Unlike Link, we can’t jump back in time, but we cherish our childhoods and look back on those versions of ourselves like a supportive understanding parent would. That kid was just scared, but not anymore. Hope you all have a great day and may the desire for new adventures shine brighter as we grow.
Listening to this the day before high school graduation hits different. Hearing the songs of childhood right before life must change is sad but reassuring at the same time.
As a 6 year old girl I loved watching my older brother play The Legend of Zelda. I always wanted to play it but never got the chance. I just hooked up our Nintendo64 and I’m currently playing. The songs are bringing so many good memories back. Pure joy. I’m now 15, the same age my brother was when he first played and I watched. :,)
Man our childhoods were the greatest. Feels like we pulled the master sword along with link & years just went by so quick. If only the song of time could actually work in our world to re-experience this masterpiece once more.
All these people talking their feelings of nostalgia and their childhood, and I'm just sitting here, having never played the game like: Damn this music slaps.
When i was smaller, i remember watching my dad play video games. But ocarina of time-it was just different. I remember the excitement id feel when id hear the opening music. Id dash up the stairs to my father and watch him play. Timeskip-after he'd one day bought a nintendo switch for himself, i was around ten years old, it came with a mario game and a game that sounded nostalgic to me. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild". It was like my younger self all over again, watching him play zelda games on the nintendo. I decided to play breath of the wild myself. After that, i grew a large attachment to this series. Not even a year later, he left, which was definitely for the better. But now i have memories to hold onto. Ive bought skyward sword, played the original zelda game and the adventure of link a little, planning on investing in twilight princess, and ocarina of time. This soundtrack will always hold a special place in my heart. I am now 13, turning 14 this year and i will never forget how this series affected me. Thank you nintendo, for not only blessing me with this heart welling series, but making me experience one of the only times id feel like a child...Nintendo games. Having to act adult-like at such a young age is so hard. But there is sometimes a way to truly let out that childish side. To me, Nintendo did more than that. Thank you, once again.
I started playing this game on a N64 I got at a retro game store. Every time this song played, it was like everything on the planet was at peace… this song is magical
The memories man it hits me everytime and takes me back to when I was 9 on a saturday morning just playing to my hearts content and knowing I can never go back to those mornings hurts me.
Nothing is better than listening to this melody on a rainy night outside. Specifically this song and the entire game have a strong tug on my heart. I was born too late into the 2000’s (2006) to be old enough to comprehend and understand the game when it launched, but I remember watching my older cousin play this game when I was around 6 or 7 years old. He’s now going into his senior year in college. With all that being said, I’m glad most people are still holding on to this game because it truly is a treasure and one of the best things Nintendo has/will ever create in my heart.
Every time i listen to this song i suddenly feel so sad...i don't know why but i'm also happy to hear it again...even if i'm more sad than happy...i was a child who watched their siblings and dad playing The Legend of Zelda, i wasn't old enough to understand the story but i was always happy and curious to see them playing...I would really love to be able to play with them...we don't play anymore as much as we used to, everyone seem to be busy or don't care, well i still play but i feel lonely...Now we are playing Tears of the Kingdom but is not the same...i still feel lonely...but i'm happy, we finally can play a Zelda game together! Finally i understand better the story and the things to do! Now i'm not the slow one! I'm not someone who can only watch! I'm a player!
Everything in life grows old and dies. 100 years from now no one will remember or care. A billion years from now it'll be one insignificant moment among countless other moments in time. That's what this song makes me think about.
Michaela Burney lol I think it's safe to say that, for me, this kind of music does not remind me of such depressing hardships (even the "hardships" I've gone through in my life). Music of this "reminiscent" feel is actually rather uplifting to me. :) This one specifically serves as a reminder of how great my childhood was (at least as I remember it) largely due to this one game, among others. (Edit): You've done it again, Robert Bones. :3 You sore loser, asking to have comments deleted because you can't stand people having different viewpoints than you on the issue. scrapper9000 is right about you. :D
The words that I could never find to describe what this game and this song make me feel is immeasurable. Pain, joy, frustration, satisfaction, sadness, happiness, hate, love. Long afternoons, sitting in my room and summer evenings spent with family and friend. The sense of accomplishment I haven't really felt from any other game since. Back when nothing mattered. . . . . . The soundtrack and game play will forevermore be a memory I will never forget.
This is the perfect wake up song or relax song. It reminds me of late spring/early summer: a soft breeze and warm sun kissing the skin, the sounds of birds singing, a bubbly brook in the distance, a fruity iced tea or lemonade, butter toast with fruit jam or butter, and a delightful book to read.
I was born long after this game never heard of it but last year I got the 3ds version and let me tell you I wish I could’ve been born back then to get the real Ocarina of Time experience
I was born in 2002 and I played the original n64 version in 2007 or so cause my older cousin and older brother were playing it. I remember the lights off with our big heavy box shaped tv. Wrapped in a blanket pretending like I wasent scared of some of the stuff in this game. I wish I could go back in time and just watch me, my three cousins, and my brother as we all sat with our eyes glued to the screen. Feels bitter sweet thinking about it
Although I have never played Ocarina of Time, this song gives me a feeling of hope. This song makes me think that everything in the future is gonna be okay, it makes me feel like that my depression will end one day. This song gives me the motivation to live.
My uncle got me this game for my 7th birthday right before he left to join the Air Force. I remember playing this on my 3ds and really enjoying it. From there I would play it all the time; after school, on the weekends, and on my breaks from school. A few years later and I’m remembering all of the memories of playing this game, thinking back to all of the Zelda games I’ve played since. My uncle is such a big person in my life; and when he visited my family after a few years of being in the military I had to thank my uncle for getting me interested into the Zelda franchise, and showing me this masterpiece of a game.
There is no good way to express the beauty of this song. It is full of magic, adventure, and mystery. I cant stop listening to it, and I relish the feelings of nostalgia and bliss that it brings back.
Balling tears because I grew up on this and plays it on the nitendo with my dad in our old apartment . I hate growing it’s so crazy. I don’t want to continue to get older. But I also can’t wait to share the experience I had with my future kids
27 years old rn... tears confirmed haha. Reading comments helps, too lol... Played it at the age of 4, brand new, on somebody else's N64... absolutely beautiful experience.
@Anthony Zorrilla hahaha yeah, it feels like the devs went in-depth into very precise ideas for specific feelings and emotions for the music... in a way that feels like those feelings just directly connect with real-life memories, and powerful ones at that. Still the best game in the world... Ocarina of Time... play it one day, when you're ready to finish a big, long story... if you wish
@Anthony Zorrilla very true... a lot of thought goes into some of the best games, more than money could really afford most times... I like LoZ games cause many songs have to be learned in-game to complete steps in quests, and the game usually has one of the characters teach some knowledge that relates to the song's feelings at the time of showing the song's name, and playing it with your controller buttons... it's a great idea to interact physically, mentally, and emotionally with your audience as a game dev, and the wisdom is intensely life bettering, especially as a younger person. Like, try this example, from in-game speech, learning the song required in the Fire Temple. “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... Listen to the Bolero of Fire.”
@@StudyingManually only if you never cry again until you're 27 years old, like me... once you surpass all grasps of your past childhood, and it truly becomes 'the past,' try to remember this moment, because everyone else is loving our future's past today... while you flex your 21years of manhood on us, you symbolise the opposite of what it stands for to be a POSITIVE FORCE, in the face of attitudes like your own... this game has taught us much more than you could teach anyone today, and it hurts to know you probably just mash buttons and yell until Ganon dies... nobody is on this page to teach you the Water Temple shortcuts, we are here for mutual enjoyment of music.... enjoy your copy of the damn game, too
Thank you Link for being there when I needed you, thank you for giving me the strength to persevere and strive to make something of myself. Thank you for showing me the benefits of hard work and opening my heart, mind and soul to the endless possibilities of fantasy. You will never be forgotten, Hero of Time.
I was a bit older than the core audience, when this was released. I still froze when i first heard this, in sheer bliss. Stil shed a tear every now and then, for the beauty of this song. And its significance.
@@cdfactory I hope so. If not everything in life is pointless, and we were all puppets, just there to live and die, doing nothing but living. For, what reason?
Zixon Only on a Legend of Zelda comment thread, would you find two people, such as yourselves, with these opposing views, to respect and accredit each other’s different beliefs in an effort to become further enlightened. You two give me hope.
@@cdfactory the afterlife is where the pineal gland and DMT come into play. DMT is in every living being on the planet. When we die there is a spark in the pineal gland. That is the center for the soul. We become everything. There is an afterlife. I have never been there, I had a roommate who has been completely dead and she said it was the best feeling she has ever had. Do not fear death friend what we fear we draw in. There is no reason for anyone to be afraid. The process of dying will hurt yes but this is a beautiful thing, because what comes after is the most liberating experience we will have second to being born
I lost my partner last week and he helped me find love and acceptance with myself, my childhood self included. Listening to this really makes me feel safe and secure with being on my own again. Like a big hug to the confused kid I was, and reassuring everything will be ok. Thank you Zelda ♥️
I know everyone else has shared a memory of this game and soundtrack,my dad introduced me to legend of Zelda with this game,still feels like yesterday day when I would play this game without a care in the world,he passed in 2005,but the memory of me and him sitting in front a old zenith tv playing this game is fresh to this day. Rest In Peace dad,1957-2005. His soul still lives on in this game and many others.
+lurkerinthedarkness Even if you've played MM, TP, WW and the others (guilty xD) there's this certain appeal to Ocarina....something that always pulls you back....I even found a weird glitch [def no lie] where I went to Jabu Jabu's resting place as an adult, you know the alcove you have there? Stand there when the Sun's out and look to the left (First person wise). Tell me what you see in the forest....Cause I saw something with three golden points.... Ocarina of Time - Best game I have ever played.....well.....ever =D
Andy Studer don't know why I made such a stupid statement there. Of course everyone has his own opinion on this matter. What made MM stand out for me was the gameplay. Swiming and diving as a Zora was mindblowing, like they knew what I wished for after OoT.
+Andy Studer Same, Ocarina isn't only the best game ever for me, it was my FIRST EVER game, and i played it with my older brother, I love my brother he's like my own personal Link
I will never forget the day I was hanging out with probably my closest friend. He had this game on the 3ds, and I was curious about it. He didn’t usually let me use his things, but after an hour of begging, he finally let me try the game. I played the game for only 10 minutes and had already fallen in love with it. I begged my dad to let me purchase it once I had a 3ds, and he bought it for me on my birthday. I’ve played this game to completion so many times, and I truly love the story, the characters, but most of all, the music. I don’t get to see my friend as much anymore, as he is in high school now. I was 5 back then, now I’m almost 14. It’s been 9 years. 9 long, incredible, and fun years.
Damn if only we knew how precious our childhood really was or would be to us I would’ve taken an extra moment to appreciate it back in the day 😓 Wind waker and OOT always take me BACK
it's honestly incredible that koji kondo managed to perfectly capture that feeling of childhood wonder considering that link being forced to mature faster than necessary is a core theme, and that he can never return to his childhood. it's incredibly fitting and also a little sad
It's because the game aged well. A lot of the time we feel nostalgia for something, and when we go back, it's not quite as great as we remember. But take the Zelda OOT challenge. Go back and play it. It's even better now. The graphics are still great. I'll take it over any PS4 game that exists.
To this day I literally (and I mean literally) get goosebumps every single time I load the game and get into the title screen. It's ridiculous the power the whole of this games holds over the memories of so many of us.
As a kid my dad used to play this on the wii and me and my brother would watch him and wonder wtf this game is, now my parents are divorced and I haven’t seen my dad in a while but this song will always bring me comfort and joy as it takes me back to the time where we were all a happy family with no care in the world . This game truly is a masterpiece…….
When i first started i couldn't even get past the forest temple. i never found the bow. didn't stop me from winning the fire temple and got to the point in the water temple where you needed the bow in order to shoot one of the eye things. although can't really blame me cause i was 4 at the time.
mattimeo12345 You got that far when you were 4? Nice job.I was playing this game at about that age (I started at 3 [named myself "no", the only word I knew how to spell]), and for about... 3 years(?), I never even went into Jabu-Jabu's belly. It just scared me too much.

The flow of time was so cruel that it made Link miserable.
@Higher Power only botws link is on his level in terms of everything. He was a literal child soldier mounted with the weight of the entire world, and pushed through. And weve seen what became of him after he achieved the power of godhood.

9o% of them are all by the same one guy: koji kondo! he's on another level
They have some genius music producers

This game was ahead of it's time. What an absolute masterpiece.
Agreed
The composer made it
Koji Kondo is an absolute musical genius to have given us so many incredible, unforgettable arrangements through his career with Nintendo.

Words can not describe how much this game was a part of the saddest and happiest times of my childhood. I was 9 when my dad passed away but that year he bought me the N64 and Ocarina of time. I never really played it because it was too difficult to me. After my dad passed away I made it my goal to complete the game 100%. I played for hours and hours each day. Not only did it take away the pain of losing my dad each time I played it brought back the happy memories I had with him. To this day whenever I think of this game it just brings memories and tears of happiness. I know for a lot of people this game was a defining moment of their childhood. Whenever you play ocarina of time, each time it just brings you back to that exact time of your life when you first played it. No other game has ever done that for me
This game actually was really hard, you really had to explore to find out where to go next and how to beat it.
You completed a goal that was hard to achieve, a goal you were meant to complete, something you complicated is something you’ll feel about your father. You completed a adventure for your dad sorry for your loss you’ll meet him soon.
I usually don't post seriously on youtube but your comment hit me because my dad also died when I was 9, and this game is attached to sadness and happiness for me too. But mostly happiness, as you said.... I don't know man, is crazy to read that someone maybe at the order side of world lived an experience so similar.
I hope you are doing great today; is hard to grow without a dad, I know...
Greeting from Japan.
@@YamanoRyuu sorry to hear
The game itself is the ocarina of time - it can take you back to the past
This song is so calming but also haunts me with the realization that my childhood is gone and I’m now all grown up where did the time go
You say it buddy
I'm only 23, but now i realize how fast time is passing away.
Played it when i was about seven or eight years old and my grandma watch me play
Good old times
It went to the ocarina
@@pevau99 my grandma 😣😞
Don't worry we just pulled the master sword early. Maybe at the end of our journey we can start all over.
From German with a light Cry , YES !
I guess this a internet checkpoint. Rest here a while. We've all got places to go, but who says we can't sit and enjoy the moment?

well I personally didn't grow up playing this game I definitely get where you're coming from and I probably would have done the same. For me that game was Kingdom Hearts 1 then I would just sit there with the title screen playing it's music.for most of my childhood I constantly wished I could have played a game like Zelda because there was always a longing for a game that would make me feel like I was going on an adventure. And once I got to play the game for the first time I definitely did feel that
TuneJMMer Casual i grew up with both of those amazing games and I did the exact same thing with both lol
Sameeee
That was me
This comment will probably go unnoticed but I felt like sharing it with you anyway. I see so many comments in here talking rather somberly about missing their childhoods. While I understand that it's not always easy breezey to be an adult, I think being adult actually becomes more of a holistic and worthwhile experience when we actively keep our inner child alive and well. I don't think it's at all necessary to silence or abandon your inner childlike spirit in the slightest. Sleep a little longer, play videogames you've always loved and enjoyed, breathe deep and allow yourself the things you like and live more in the moment. See your childhood and your childlike spirit as something to protect, not to neglect. Not unlike what Link goes through in Ocarina of Time.
This comment is a pearl of wisdom. I agree wholeheartedly!
damn thats deep
W man
Well said, my friend.
"The best way to live a full life is to be a child, no matter your age." - Sakata Gintoki
"A good game is one you enjoy playing. A great game is one that made you feel something more."
Sheik said it best:
"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
They knew they were giving us our childhood, they made sure to do a damn perfect job
Well thats depressing
@@CrowBag on the contrary, it's relieving, because we saw things with child's eyes and sometimes we forget we used to be naive, positive, and flamboyant. If things looks grim make sure to get a hold of yourself and move on
Thank you for this beautiful quote my friend
Who would of thought that quote would have such an impact?
This song reminds me of being a child without a care in the world, feeling cozy in front of the tv and getting lost in a world of adventure
same, it makes me feel so sad and nostalgic :(
I feel this sentiment deeply.
Amen to that
Nailed it. :)
you truly nailed that bro
My girlfriend and I played through this game this year! She surprised me with an N64 packaged with Starfox 64 and Ocarina of Time for my birthday. One of my earliest memories is playing Majora’s Mask at my Aunts house, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or where I was going, but I loved every second of it, the sense of adventure. I had no prior nostalgia towards this game, and yet the experience was so profoundly positive. Getting eaten by Jabu Jabu, going on a scavenger hunt for the Bigoron Sword, slogging through the water temple, So many amazing moments. Best birthday gift ever!
Keep that woman at all costs
I remember loading up Ocarina of Time in the early morning to play for a few minutes before going to school. The sunrise on Hyrule Field lives rent free in my mind.
Kids are gonna have the nostalgia for breath of the wild like adults have for ocarina of time
You're so right I just got ocarina of time for the 64 and I have it on my 3ds but whenever I hear this I feel so familiar with this game I never played zelda and got into it till a month ago and it seems like this game has always been with me I never grew up playing this because I'm only 14 but hearing this makes it seem like I've know this my while life
@@marcuslopez5370 I FEEL THE EXACT WAY, I was always a diehard Mario/ Pokemon fan, and I never played any zelda, but this song brings so much nostalgia... weird
Because that was one of the most important parts of any Zelda 3D games, and they totally remove it from the new one.
Without it is incomplete, you can feel how strong just a single track is, now add 20 more and put an unique ending theme that links to this title one.
@@Vernnell Not everything is the same you know?
Breath of the wild is in the same place as ocarina of time just things have changed as Zelda and link are reborn over and over again. But yeah this-this game keeps me sane
I remember getting this game in junior high, I didn't have a lot of friends, overweight, and just kept to myself a lot. I had told my mom and sister that I wanted this game, and when I got back home they were away. Around 6pm is when they got back, looking tired and drained, but they gave me this game for my birthday. They told me it was the last one near us, and had to drive 2 hours away to pick it up. I remember playing all night, and this song just brings back that memory. I'm 18 soon to be 19, about to enter college. My mother passed away last year, but I'm glad she got me this. I miss you mom.
Edit: thank you all for your kind words. For those saying its fake, I wish it was but sadly it isn't. My mother passed away August 22nd, 2020 3:30am after suffering tachycardia and 4 strokes. She was brain dead when she died. Also, she got me the 3ds version, and I will always cherish the memory my mother allowed me to have. Thank you all again, and live a long and happy life, and enjoy your loved ones as much as possible or you'll end up like me, regretting not cherishing my mother and what she was willing to do for me.
that's wsp man and im sorry for your loss
Hope everything’s ok, I feel you im goin through some stuff too
Life is really awful sometimes but I’m glad we have things like this to return to. This theme somehow feels fitting for that kind of thought in my opinion. It covers a lot of feelings. I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Make sure to take breaks and relax, especially now. I’m 18 and finishing high school, so I can relate to the stress right now. I wish you the best of luck.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 im sorry to hear that
Did you grow up with the 3ds version too?
As we all grow up we faintly remember the feeling of running around Hyrule, running after dogs, breaking pots for rupees, playing those minigames in town. But once we picked up the Master Sword we grew up. And when we all really think about it we're just all young Links growing up too fast.
:’)
does the composer of this know exactly how much of a masterpiece they made? I listen to this song since I'm 6, and i'm 28 now and it still touches my soul
Assuming this was Koji Kondo, he did an interview where he explained that he spent painstaking time tweaking and reworking the themes he wrote. I'm sure he's humble about it, but he knows how much care and effort went in.
Same here bro literally same age and all
"Hey Dad, can you beat Ganondorf again?"
"Sure Son, just get me a couple of blue potions."
heh, good times.

Oh man you had the chance to play videogames with your dad.. And This game, I mean, what a great time you must have had together
@@ploppyploket4985 yeah! it was pretty neat. this game and majora's mask were my first games, and I doubt I'd have such an interest in video games had my Dad not showed me them.
Certando Erimus I’m glad you have a good father, who sounds like he really cared for you. My dad got me into video games and anime, not Zelda, but still. If he hadn’t got me into either of those, my life would be completely different.
- Side note, my dad didn’t get me into Zelda, my aunt and mother did.(in all honesty I think I got him into Zelda.)
I remember
I used to play every single Zelda with my dad and he used to finish every single boss cause I was bad and I never understand what was I suppose to do 😔😔
the greatest moment in the game was not when this theme was played for the first time.
the greatest moment in the game was when this theme was played for the last time.
when you finally beat the game.
Francisco Cervantes you are awesome
Francisco Cervantes because of what you wrote you sound like a cool person
Francisco Cervantes no prob dude
Kaska* No, the last time this theme played for me was about 10 minutes ago because i love it so much and wanted to hear it again.
Kaska* oh god...why do you do this to me
I come back to this video whenever I'm having a hard time in life, partly because of how calming it is, but mainly it reminds me of when I was younger, my dad is a nerd and anytime I was having a nightmare or ide come home crying (I was bullied growing up and still slightly am) my dad would play ocarina of time soundtracks, my favourite was the song of the storms and the starting menu music, it always makes me feel so warm and cosy inside and calms me down even in my darkest moments, it makes me feel like a kid wrapped up in a blanket falling asleep to this on my dad's big bed. I miss it sm.
Beautiful
It's currently 4:31 am and I'm listening to this remembering how happy I was when I got this game. Really takes me back.
i feel u bro i got a pit in my stomach
4:10 am while I’m listening
man rn its 0:44 am and the music its mixing with the rain to make the perfect soundtrack
My times 4:13 👀😯
Almost 20 years later. No single game can top this.
I always hate thinking this. the way this game always just grabs me can never be compared to new games. I've tried so many new games and I love them they all deserve respect and a place in my heart but this will always be number one. I'm not a critic or a nostalgia nerd I've always kept an open mind and heart to new games and I'll admit some have mechanics that far surpass this game but this game will always be my favorite
+Alex Mead dude i can totally understand. the classic feel of the n64 just still beats out all these new consoles
t.t
I so share with you no other hand can compare

some of my best memories as a kid are laying on the carpet next to my big bro in front of the old wooden console tv watching him play this for hours on end.. he was my hero.. now we never talk & live only 5 minutes apart.. I think I’ll call him tomorrow. Thanks Pancho D. RIP Victor
Dont forget about your brother ok remember him pls bye
RIP Victor
Sorry for your loss man
I'm glad TH-cam is a time capsule for us. I've spent countless hours watching my brothers play this game, and it was truly enjoyable, almost like watching a movie! This song gave me goosebumps and brought back memories from my childhood, filling my heart with warmth and happiness. My brothers are the reason why my life has been forever changed.
Coming home from after a long day of school in 2nd grade and trying to beat the water temple. Really gives you memories of when times were simpler.
Haha fun times 🥲

This song... Dark, sobering, melancholy... Makes me think of a care free child suddenly forced to grow up into an adult before even getting to experience their childhood. Stolen innocence by a cruel and unforgiving world. Funny enough, that's what this game is really about, isn't it?

Grandpa: Let me tell you a story *tells long story about him playing this wonderful game*
Grandpa: And that kids is why you don't mess with f*cking cuccos.
I was 23 when this came out. The N64 is without a doubt the console I had the most fun playing games on. This game took me a long time to finish, I was busy in my early to mid 20's and had at one point just carried on thinking I would never finish it. Then, I had a close friend pass away and I remember someone saying something about finishing an old project or something to help with the coping. So I pulled out the N64, OOT and the walkthrough book and a week or so later I was done. It was in that moment I felt my childhood and adolescence was complete (I was probably 26 or 27). Despite all the trials and successes and failures, I knew I could walk into the future with confidence and closure of all that I would then be leaving behind. It was to me truly a rite of passage. This game saw me through a lot of growth in my life and like everyone else here it will always hold a special place in my heart and my memories and my life and the best video game music ever.
This is what I want played at my funeral one day. It just sums up all the happiness of my childhood, the journey I'm currently taking through life with a beautiful conclusion of solace and comfort.
Even as a kid this song used to get me right in the feels
Same
I like that someone with a profile pic of Uganda Knuckles said that
and its gone now
This is the game that every one should grow up playing at least once
😚😚🤗
i did but it was the 3ds version
Agreed!
@@kocant1274 same
Gotta be N64, just has to be. It's not the same elsewhere. I'm handing out likes all over this thread. Nothing but love here guys
I’m a 15 year old and I got introduced to the 3ds version of this masterpiece by my Dad and recently replayed the whole thing almost to 100% completion. People have no idea how much joy, sadness, and the feeling of freedom this game brings I could only imagine what it would be like playing this game when it first came out. Hope everyone reading this is having their best life or hopefully making the best of it just remember you are all love and with that I wish you all a good night.
You should try final fantasy 7 on ps1 too
Gracias, siento lo mismo que tú. Ha y si, deberías probar ff7 también. 😅
This was not only a hero's journey but also the tale of how a boy turned into a man 😢
I remember going back to the ciity as adult link to find it destroyed and littered with creatures and be scared asf. Good times.
Yesss ong
so i wasnt the only one super scared of redeads? that's... thats good
@@hyp0cr1tical I was terrified of them as well. I always dreaded the Shadow temple because of redeads but ironically it's like the easiest temple.
@@MTingyy Wait till you read the official player's guide (which is literally a canon Zelda 64 lore book) and find out the Shadow Temple was "built from the bones of Hyrule's evil dead."
This game was dark AF for a Zelda game.
@@W1ckedshort I believe it. The room with the mini boss with the hands (who def gave me and a million other kids nightmares) was covered in bones and guts. It's crazy looking back that the game was rated E.
When Young Link walks away from the Master Sword in the pedestal of time... To me that's the most meaningful moments in all of gaming. The Hero of Time.
Entrusted to a village as a baby after his mother's early death. Grows to be a care free child that suddenly is forced to grow up into an adult before even getting to experience their childhood. Stolen innocence by a cruel and unforgiving world, but destined to do so. He who saved this world that would unknownfully later be destroyed again, returns to his childhood to prevent his own mistakes. In doing so he removes the glory that was rightfully his just so that there would be peace in Hyrule.
He saved Sacred Hyrule twice from Ganondorf by traveling aside Time and drove Darkness into the Light, rescued a parallel-world "Termina" from Majora. Termina was created through the Hero's OWN subconscious mind, to conquer many fears. For the rest of his life onward he lived a normal life as a Hylian Guard after giving up with failure on his search for the beloved Navi.
He died lamenting.
After his life his spirit helped his descendant save Hyrule and the Twilight realm and still got absolutely no credit. The Hero of Time is the most epic, courageous, and humble characters in all of gaming. Remember The Hero of Time.
Dam
The ultimate hero. Well spoke in Twilight Princess as well. The hero’s shade. The hero of time. The hero of termina. Saviour of the world.
Wow man, I got some serious cold chills reading that. Amazingly said.
Actually playing Twilight Princess now
Courage need not remembering, for it is never forgotten.
No matter how old I get, this song will always be a part of my life
When I was younger and they sent him back to be a kid, I thought it was the worst ending.
Now I’m older, I realise being sent back in time to be a child is the best gift anyone could receive.
Does anyone remember playing this with their cousin or someone else that was important to them? dang it feels like it was yesterday.:(
I totally feel you. Sat and played this with my older brother and cousins all the time when it came out. Such good memories.
Six O'Clocker I know man it's like one minute all you want is to be entertained you turn around and get nostalgic tears 10 years later.
and now you play games Like Call of Duty: Ghosts and are a piece of crap when it comes to taste.
You're a piece of crap for telling someone what they should or not like, dude I didn't come here to get offended over a fucking video game. I came here to remember the music.
I played this with my dad, and i remember for years i couldnt get passed the Forest Temple because my dad stopped playing, and we only had dial up internet and i didnt know how to use it... i eventually restarted the game and beat the whole game in a matter of a weekend, but i still have fond memories of playing in my dads lap and laughing with him... good times :)
first zelda game i ever played
Mine too! I was about four when I started playing! :D
Have you played any of the ones prior? They are all awesome.
Joseph Scott ive played the original
me too
same here. back when I was about 9 or 10. possibly younger. I played this along with super Mario 64, Mario kart and then eventually majoras mask. some of the greatest games ive ever played still to this day. i cant think of very many others. like yoshis story and such was OK but this game was beautifully created. couldn't have made it any better. let me know if you guys can remember any of the amazing games from back then =D
I remember playing this on the 64 with my big brother when we were very young. Now we’re in our mid/late 20s and the family fell apart and we don’t talk to each other anymore. But when I hear this soundtrack and close my eyes everything is back to normal. I’m with my brother. My parents still love each other. Our oldest brother is still alive. I look back at my childhood and I feel like I’m looking at someone else’s memories. That’s how distant I feel from my home that I can never return to. This song captures the idea of time unexpectedly passing in such haunting accuracy and beauty.
I hope you fix things with the brother who is alive.
A simple song that truly represents so much for me. It truly embodies a simpler time where I didn’t even know life was as good as it was gonna get for a while. A time before grievance, separation, growing up, and self-doubt. Who knew an ocarina could not only turn back time in a game, but in real life as well. Thank you Nintendo.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not a game, it is a beautiful, unforgettable experience. That is why, when I hear this touching melody, I feel a sense of pure joy.
That is why I love video games so much and am a diehard Nintendo fan. Nintendo's video games are not just video games, they are unforgettable memories which can be played time and time again. So many people don't understand video games and criticize people for playing them. My dad hates video games and wishes for my time to be spent on anything else aside from Nintendo. But, my heart says otherwise. ... Thank you so much Scrapper9000... for posting this unforgettable melody.
i know how you feel...
That's a beautiful explanation. Follow your heart dude, if it's something you enjoy no one can tell you otherwise.
The staff roll always makes me cry. I love this game!
What most people don't realize is that video games can heal you. They represent a fantasy world where the player can feel important, strong, unyielding, accomplished. They allow us to escape from reality where things can be grim and ugly like a drug. They give you a sense of control and safety that no one can take from you. I remember being Link, just wanting to save the world and make everyone happy, just wanting to be him, a hero, ridding myself of my sadness with the help of a beautiful artistic heavenly world.
William SIms i been grinding batte royale games the past 4 years and its nice to come back to when games were about the experience

I growed up with this game.
It was the first game I ever had
it was 1999 and school sucked, being a teenager sucked and I was given a N64 with ocarina of time. It brought me excitement and a fantastic adventure every evening I played this game after school. It was like reading a good book and wondering during the day how it would develop later when I picked it up again. We had a really big tv in the living room and I prefered to hook it up there instead of my smaller tv I had in my room. This game in so many ways saved me as a teenager of utterly boredom.
Suddenly you wake up to this music. Then you realize that you turned on your N64 last night to play Zelda but fell asleep to this wonderful tune since you were really tired and your couch felt so cozy. You are still 8 years old. Everything until now was a dream (or a nightmare). Your mom calls you for breakfast. Everything is ok. You can start again.
Something eerie about that.. I'd rather not have my whole life be a dream. I dont know if I'd want to relive it all again
@@lil_keybo I've heard a story of a teenager who fell and hit their head on a sidewalk. While unconscious they lived out years - schooling, jobs, families, I'm talking decades. They eventually thought a lamp in their living room looked weird and just... stared at it for days on end. Up until the point his imaginary wife left him. I think he got sucked into the lamp or something and woke up 15 years old again.
That'll take a couple of therapy trips to say the least
@@mattbreimann7839 imaginary wives are better than three dimensional ones. ill tell you that right now
Tears to my eyes
Pretty deep how I wish it was true
Zelda, in 3 words. everyone's beautiful childhood. No one can beat the magic and beauty of this game. ;)
Couldn't have Said it better brah (:
Hero of Hyrule there is a way to beat the magic of this game.
1. Go on any tf2 map
2. Tell your whole team to become engi
3. Make huge fort
4. Defend
5. Work together to stop the demos spys and medics
6. Have a good time
Please reply.
@Fedce botw is a great game, but not even close to beat oot.
Hero of Hyrule many ways to beat the, “magic” of this game.... just do whatever makes you happy
I remember my family moving to a new town and I’d cry all the time. We went from a huge house to a tiny apartment and the only escape I had was this game. It was so magical and vast. I identified with Young Link being forced out of the life he knew and seeing how cool Adult Link was made me want to be brave. What a strange time, but an exciting one. My mom was so patient with me and she appreciated the way this game would comfort me. She remembers all the sound effects and when I play this again around the holidays she’s nostalgic for it too.
Unlike Link, we can’t jump back in time, but we cherish our childhoods and look back on those versions of ourselves like a supportive understanding parent would. That kid was just scared, but not anymore.
Hope you all have a great day and may the desire for new adventures shine brighter as we grow.
As soon as I played this I started crying remembering my childhood.

" we were just having fun we didn't know we were making memories" -Winnie the Pooh
lol
My childhood sucked, but somehow this song helps me make peace with the past, even if just a little.
Fitting, given the theme of the game.
Listening to this the day before high school graduation hits different. Hearing the songs of childhood right before life must change is sad but reassuring at the same time.
I’m so gonna play that for my kid when they graduate 🥹
Interesting how I’m seeing this. I’m graduating tomorrow and I’m feeling the exact same way
@@aaronadkinson2444 congrats
@@aaronadkinson2444 Noice.
Late congratulations on graduating
As a 6 year old girl I loved watching my older brother play The Legend of Zelda. I always wanted to play it but never got the chance. I just hooked up our Nintendo64 and I’m currently playing. The songs are bringing so many good memories back. Pure joy. I’m now 15, the same age my brother was when he first played and I watched. :,)
Omg I totally get the feeling
I totally get the feeling ×2
Cute
But why ur profile picture is the rock she lie she lie its the real the rock I knowwwwww
It's about drive 😈
Man our childhoods were the greatest. Feels like we pulled the master sword along with link & years just went by so quick.
If only the song of time could actually work in our world to re-experience this masterpiece once more.
Modern gaming needs games more like this bro
like modern gaming just feels empty but this..
this is a masterpiece.
I agree entirely.
Everything feels more empty as an adult than the things we experience in our childhood. The people who are now kids will think so as well.
A theme that makes me wish I was 10 again...not 26. Sigh, the simple times :)
ei que pasa
ja ja ja ja
Too true my friend
Too true
now I'm depressed thanks a lot XD
3 years later, and this fucked me up bruh. Cheers.
All these people talking their feelings of nostalgia and their childhood, and I'm just sitting here, having never played the game like: Damn this music slaps.
Same
pixiljuice itme same
Now it is time to play it.Get urself a Emulator and play this masterpiece
This game changed games so much dude you need to play it on an emulator.

When i was smaller, i remember watching my dad play video games. But ocarina of time-it was just different. I remember the excitement id feel when id hear the opening music. Id dash up the stairs to my father and watch him play. Timeskip-after he'd one day bought a nintendo switch for himself, i was around ten years old, it came with a mario game and a game that sounded nostalgic to me. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild". It was like my younger self all over again, watching him play zelda games on the nintendo. I decided to play breath of the wild myself. After that, i grew a large attachment to this series. Not even a year later, he left, which was definitely for the better. But now i have memories to hold onto. Ive bought skyward sword, played the original zelda game and the adventure of link a little, planning on investing in twilight princess, and ocarina of time. This soundtrack will always hold a special place in my heart. I am now 13, turning 14 this year and i will never forget how this series affected me. Thank you nintendo, for not only blessing me with this heart welling series, but making me experience one of the only times id feel like a child...Nintendo games. Having to act adult-like at such a young age is so hard. But there is sometimes a way to truly let out that childish side. To me, Nintendo did more than that. Thank you, once again.
I started playing this game on a N64 I got at a retro game store. Every time this song played, it was like everything on the planet was at peace… this song is magical
This Game Will Always be number one
Express hell ya it will
Well, uh, technically nah.
But, uh, nostalgically yes.
for sure
Roxes Alvarado no
The memories man it hits me everytime and takes me back to when I was 9 on a saturday morning just playing to my hearts content and knowing I can never go back to those mornings hurts me.
Nice pfp btw
I cant relate
hey you said the same thin what i did i was 9 at the time
don’t be sad that it’s over my friend, be happy that it happened. ❤️
Nothing is better than listening to this melody on a rainy night outside. Specifically this song and the entire game have a strong tug on my heart. I was born too late into the 2000’s (2006) to be old enough to comprehend and understand the game when it launched, but I remember watching my older cousin play this game when I was around 6 or 7 years old. He’s now going into his senior year in college. With all that being said, I’m glad most people are still holding on to this game because it truly is a treasure and one of the best things Nintendo has/will ever create in my heart.
Every time i listen to this song i suddenly feel so sad...i don't know why but i'm also happy to hear it again...even if i'm more sad than happy...i was a child who watched their siblings and dad playing The Legend of Zelda, i wasn't old enough to understand the story but i was always happy and curious to see them playing...I would really love to be able to play with them...we don't play anymore as much as we used to, everyone seem to be busy or don't care, well i still play but i feel lonely...Now we are playing Tears of the Kingdom but is not the same...i still feel lonely...but i'm happy, we finally can play a Zelda game together! Finally i understand better the story and the things to do! Now i'm not the slow one! I'm not someone who can only watch! I'm a player!
Everything in life grows old and dies. 100 years from now no one will remember or care. A billion years from now it'll be one insignificant moment among countless other moments in time. That's what this song makes me think about.
Your legacy will be that of a pissed off and closed minded person who couldn't accept opinions that weren't his own
Michaela Burney lol
I think it's safe to say that, for me, this kind of music does not remind me of such depressing hardships (even the "hardships" I've gone through in my life).
Music of this "reminiscent" feel is actually rather uplifting to me. :) This one specifically serves as a reminder of how great my childhood was (at least as I remember it) largely due to this one game, among others.
(Edit): You've done it again, Robert Bones. :3
You sore loser, asking to have comments deleted because you can't stand people having different viewpoints than you on the issue.
scrapper9000 is right about you. :D
LOL

@@chuckaluck5999 I hope you get through it man
@@eddielaiche5129 thanks, that means a lot everything will get better over time
The words that I could never find to describe what this game and this song make me feel is immeasurable.
Pain, joy, frustration, satisfaction, sadness, happiness, hate, love. Long afternoons, sitting in my room and summer evenings spent with family and friend. The sense of accomplishment I haven't really felt from any other game since. Back when nothing mattered.

The soundtrack and game play will forevermore be a memory I will never forget.
This is the perfect wake up song or relax song.
It reminds me of late spring/early summer: a soft breeze and warm sun kissing the skin, the sounds of birds singing, a bubbly brook in the distance, a fruity iced tea or lemonade, butter toast with fruit jam or butter, and a delightful book to read.
I was born long after this game never heard of it but last year I got the 3ds version and let me tell you I wish I could’ve been born back then to get the real Ocarina of Time experience
I was born in 2002 and I played the original n64 version in 2007 or so cause my older cousin and older brother were playing it. I remember the lights off with our big heavy box shaped tv. Wrapped in a blanket pretending like I wasent scared of some of the stuff in this game. I wish I could go back in time and just watch me, my three cousins, and my brother as we all sat with our eyes glued to the screen. Feels bitter sweet thinking about it
I was born in 1998 so I literally grew up with this game. Me and my brothers were always afraid of the redeads.
@@roshpenin4701 those redeads were terrifying i mean who wouldnt be afraid of them
シャドウズ /shadowzz\ same the other games this generation will never gat something so beautiful as this
I got a n64 for my birthday, and my uncle (who gave it to me) also happened to have found OoT and Mario Kart.
Best first gaming system.
Lets hope that 100 years from now, this game is still remembered. We need to put this game in history books and museums.
@Liquid Snake I just came from Snake Eater XD
Although I have never played Ocarina of Time, this song gives me a feeling of hope.
This song makes me think that everything in the future is gonna be okay, it makes me feel like that my depression will end one day.
This song gives me the motivation to live.
My uncle got me this game for my 7th birthday right before he left to join the Air Force. I remember playing this on my 3ds and really enjoying it. From there I would play it all the time; after school, on the weekends, and on my breaks from school. A few years later and I’m remembering all of the memories of playing this game, thinking back to all of the Zelda games I’ve played since. My uncle is such a big person in my life; and when he visited my family after a few years of being in the military I had to thank my uncle for getting me interested into the Zelda franchise, and showing me this masterpiece of a game.
I could listen to this forever, it never gets old!
¡¡¡yo no hablo es ingles!!!
and it never will...
True
There is no good way to express the beauty of this song. It is full of magic, adventure, and mystery. I cant stop listening to it, and I relish the feelings of nostalgia and bliss that it brings back.
Balling tears because I grew up on this and plays it on the nitendo with my dad in our old apartment . I hate growing it’s so crazy. I don’t want to continue to get older. But I also can’t wait to share the experience I had with my future kids
The vibe this intro music sets for the game is truly wonderful
Just started playing this game, absolute masterpiece. I’m 17, I can see a 30 year old me crying in the future :’)
27 years old rn... tears confirmed haha. Reading comments helps, too lol...
Played it at the age of 4, brand new, on somebody else's N64... absolutely beautiful experience.
@Anthony Zorrilla hahaha yeah, it feels like the devs went in-depth into very precise ideas for specific feelings and emotions for the music... in a way that feels like those feelings just directly connect with real-life memories, and powerful ones at that. Still the best game in the world... Ocarina of Time... play it one day, when you're ready to finish a big, long story... if you wish
@Anthony Zorrilla very true... a lot of thought goes into some of the best games, more than money could really afford most times... I like LoZ games cause many songs have to be learned in-game to complete steps in quests, and the game usually has one of the characters teach some knowledge that relates to the song's feelings at the time of showing the song's name, and playing it with your controller buttons... it's a great idea to interact physically, mentally, and emotionally with your audience as a game dev, and the wisdom is intensely life bettering, especially as a younger person.
Like, try this example, from in-game speech, learning the song required in the Fire Temple.
“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... Listen to the Bolero of Fire.”
You are all crybabies. I am 21 years old and will continue to play this masterpiece. Adulthood >>> Childhood ✅
@@StudyingManually only if you never cry again until you're 27 years old, like me... once you surpass all grasps of your past childhood, and it truly becomes 'the past,' try to remember this moment, because everyone else is loving our future's past today... while you flex your 21years of manhood on us, you symbolise the opposite of what it stands for to be a POSITIVE FORCE, in the face of attitudes like your own... this game has taught us much more than you could teach anyone today, and it hurts to know you probably just mash buttons and yell until Ganon dies... nobody is on this page to teach you the Water Temple shortcuts, we are here for mutual enjoyment of music.... enjoy your copy of the damn game, too
Thank you Link for being there when I needed you, thank you for giving me the strength to persevere and strive to make something of myself. Thank you for showing me the benefits of hard work and opening my heart, mind and soul to the endless possibilities of fantasy. You will never be forgotten, Hero of Time.
wow, deep man, especially since its for link...
Mihail garabedov maybe it was replying to you lel :)
yeah well fuck you alex kass
Well said man
@@gunsofthemamaluigi are you 10
I still remember everything that was going on when I played this game
I still remember the day we got back from the store, put this game in, and just loved every second of it.
my headache is gone... almost. now time to listen to Song of Healing
....I am suddenly getting a slight headache... THE HELL?!
Matt yep
No! I am ashamed in the internet for people liking this comment. Just no. Now I need to burn my copy of Magoras Mask
My headache is 10x worse thanks to your comment
@@boblemester2174 what?
Doctor: You have 10 hours left to live.
I would play ocarina of time again in those 10 hours
it would be the best last hours of my life...
Nice pfp
Clever
Fuck yea!
I was a bit older than the core audience, when this was released. I still froze when i first heard this, in sheer bliss. Stil shed a tear every now and then, for the beauty of this song. And its significance.
Good thing this will be in the switch soon
Life is just something you do for around 85 years. This makes me think of the land beyond...........
I dig... love you, bro...
That was nice 😭
@@cdfactory I hope so. If not everything in life is pointless, and we were all puppets, just there to live and die, doing nothing but living. For, what reason?
Zixon Only on a Legend of Zelda comment thread, would you find two people, such as yourselves, with these opposing views, to respect and accredit each other’s different beliefs in an effort to become further enlightened. You two give me hope.
@@cdfactory the afterlife is where the pineal gland and DMT come into play. DMT is in every living being on the planet. When we die there is a spark in the pineal gland. That is the center for the soul. We become everything. There is an afterlife. I have never been there, I had a roommate who has been completely dead and she said it was the best feeling she has ever had. Do not fear death friend what we fear we draw in. There is no reason for anyone to be afraid. The process of dying will hurt yes but this is a beautiful thing, because what comes after is the most liberating experience we will have second to being born
When i die, play this Song at my funeral...
Me too
My dad wants donkey kongs aquatic ambience at his funeral..
Got some beef with Minecraft title screen
@@connor.sfx_ That almost compares to this
OI, JOSUKE, THIS IS RELATABLE
I lost my partner last week and he helped me find love and acceptance with myself, my childhood self included. Listening to this really makes me feel safe and secure with being on my own again. Like a big hug to the confused kid I was, and reassuring everything will be ok. Thank you Zelda ♥️
The music is so calming, but so amazing at the same time. I could listen to this while doing anything and it would fit in
I know everyone else has shared a memory of this game and soundtrack,my dad introduced me to legend of Zelda with this game,still feels like yesterday day when I would play this game without a care in the world,he passed in 2005,but the memory of me and him sitting in front a old zenith tv playing this game is fresh to this day.
Rest In Peace dad,1957-2005.
His soul still lives on in this game and many others.
RIP to your dad and I like listening to other people’s stories to know the nostalgia that I never had and will have
I hope that memory stays in your head until you pass I dont want that memory too leave that would just be sad
RIP you'r dad 😔
Hope you’re dad has a beautiful and soothing rest, I’m sure he had made a beautiful person
@@Riley_1971 thank you
best Zelda game I've ever played
+Luis Varela I guess you never played Majora's Mask.
+lurkerinthedarkness Even if you've played MM, TP, WW and the others (guilty xD) there's this certain appeal to Ocarina....something that always pulls you back....I even found a weird glitch [def no lie] where I went to Jabu Jabu's resting place as an adult, you know the alcove you have there? Stand there when the Sun's out and look to the left (First person wise). Tell me what you see in the forest....Cause I saw something with three golden points....
Ocarina of Time - Best game I have ever played.....well.....ever =D
Andy Studer
don't know why I made such a stupid statement there. Of course everyone has his own opinion on this matter.
What made MM stand out for me was the gameplay. Swiming and diving as a Zora was mindblowing, like they knew what I wished for after OoT.
+Andy Studer Same, Ocarina isn't only the best game ever for me, it was my FIRST EVER game, and i played it with my older brother, I love my brother he's like my own personal Link
Kara Wolfe Wilton i can relate to *everything* you said. I am currently playing this with ma brother and hes ma link as well.
I will never forget the day I was hanging out with probably my closest friend. He had this game on the 3ds, and I was curious about it. He didn’t usually let me use his things, but after an hour of begging, he finally let me try the game. I played the game for only 10 minutes and had already fallen in love with it. I begged my dad to let me purchase it once I had a 3ds, and he bought it for me on my birthday. I’ve played this game to completion so many times, and I truly love the story, the characters, but most of all, the music. I don’t get to see my friend as much anymore, as he is in high school now. I was 5 back then, now I’m almost 14. It’s been 9 years. 9 long, incredible, and fun years.
Yout freind sounds mean, Im glad you guys dont keep in contact.
Damn if only we knew how precious our childhood really was or would be to us
I would’ve taken an extra moment to appreciate it back in the day 😓
Wind waker and OOT always take me BACK
it's honestly incredible that koji kondo managed to perfectly capture that feeling of childhood wonder
considering that link being forced to mature faster than necessary is a core theme, and that he can never return to his childhood. it's incredibly fitting and also a little sad
Anyone else get goosebumps or is it just me? God this song..... love it. Makes me feel like a hero :)
You're not the only one :)
***** You're just like Link, who was sleeping for 7 years in the temple of time. It would have been funny if you stopped at the master sword.
It's because the game aged well. A lot of the time we feel nostalgia for something, and when we go back, it's not quite as great as we remember. But take the Zelda OOT challenge. Go back and play it. It's even better now. The graphics are still great. I'll take it over any PS4 game that exists.
To this day I literally (and I mean literally) get goosebumps every single time I load the game and get into the title screen.
It's ridiculous the power the whole of this games holds over the memories of so many of us.
As a kid my dad used to play this on the wii and me and my brother would watch him and wonder wtf this game is, now my parents are divorced and I haven’t seen my dad in a while but this song will always bring me comfort and joy as it takes me back to the time where we were all a happy family with no care in the world . This game truly is a masterpiece…….
If I’m stressed with certain things in my life I come here for the intro and it really
Does calm me down
14 people didn't make it pass the water temple😆
When i first started i couldn't even get past the forest temple. i never found the bow. didn't stop me from winning the fire temple and got to the point in the water temple where you needed the bow in order to shoot one of the eye things. although can't really blame me cause i was 4 at the time.
mattimeo12345 You got that far when you were 4? Nice job.I was playing this game at about that age (I started at 3 [named myself "no", the only word I knew how to spell]), and for about... 3 years(?), I never even went into Jabu-Jabu's belly. It just scared me too much.
