With Zelda Tears of the Kingdom days away, I went back through Zelda Breath of the Wild and found some very cool references. And one of them is a reference to Koji Kondo that as far as I’m convinced no one noticed. It’s my favorite Zelda music reference to date.
I can’t wait for TOTK and I’m sure I’ll be doing a lot of music breakdowns when it drops.
Please check out my other videos in the meantime.

Let me know WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE NEXT??
MARIO GALAXY haha
The Mario movie OST analysis?
Song of Storms in Ocarina of Time is secretly based on the Fortress Theme from Yoshi's Island, and the Fairy Fountain theme is the Water Land music from Super Mario Bros 3.
You could talk about Mario references.
The Cascade Kingdom in Mario Odyssey is completely based on the Mabe Village Theme from Link's Awakening.

Champions' ballad
I love that feeling when you notice a reference in zelda music
I know. I just found a link between Twilight Princess and ALTTP and I’m very excited!
@@ZeldaMusicTheory ALttP has a pretty good soundtrack.
i love how this series can reference itself via music
I know what a cool concept
What you didn't mention and it's even better is that EXACT theme plays during Majora's Mask ending, when the Giants succesfully stop the moon! It's even more evident than in Ocarina of Time, I KNEW I've heard it from somewhere! Simply amazing what this marvelous series can bring us in all aspects. Music is surely one of them and one that sticks the most.
Good call Zurk! And apparently it’s also in Starfox 64!!! Incredible.
@@ZeldaMusicTheory Yeahh! Nintendo sure knows their stuff, damn...
I thought I remembered it from Majora's Mask... Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy
I'm so glad you said this because I did recognize it but couldn't remember if it was OoT or MM and even after he brought up the OoT clip i still felt sure it was in MM too, a very nice little piece of music
I came here to say the same thing! Great catch.
The last reference is trully amazing but the Mipha and Sidon musical link is sooo beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely!
I loved this one too
Not to mention, the Zora king's name is Dorephan (Do Re Fa)
I had my autism assessment today, and my doc (who worked with his brother on the remastered Bioshock games) asked me what about the things that bring me the most joy (video games and their music) sends my mood into orbit. I explained that game music gets me the most choked up because it combined the sense of awe that gets some people to cry with the emotional gut-punch that gets others, and mentioned this video and how excited I was to learn about this OoT callback, and he was floored because he was literally listening to the OoT OST on his way into work and the bells were really standing out to him for a reason he couldn't figure out. (Oh, I aced the testing btw, I'm definitely autistic lmao)
Hahahaha that’s awesome!!!! I love hearing stories like this, so thanks so much for sharing this! Love Zelda and Music and especially Zelda music, and I’m so grateful that so many other people do too.
That King Hyrule theme in major still gives me goosebumps, the valor of the heroes and the gravity of the task they get entrusted with… damn. ❤
That theme is so sick
What drives me nuts about Fi's theme in BOTW is that we're so focused on that 3 seconds before her sound effect that we miss the other 17 seconds of it. But such a good reference. Also love the OoT references: Koji Kondo is the GOAT.
That whole scene is beautiful. Love Koji Kondo!
3:57 I love Miphas theme so much. It’s beautiful and so full of longing but also a bit empty like it’s not complete. It really seems to capture Miphas feelings for Link and how they would never be returned.
It’s funny you mention that it feels incomplete. That’s because the melody itself is based on a lot of leading tones that don’t really resolve. And the entire melody doesn’t really resolve to the tonic where you would expect it to either. So it just gives this feeling that it just doesn’t end and just stays in a sort of tension. Beautifully written.
This ending, bro 😭
I genuinely cried. I love Ocarina of Time! It is such a perfect game!
Oh my gosh such nostalgia
same man i’ve been bawling this whole video 😭😭
Damn.
That actually tugs at my heart strings; such a nice reach back to the past.
As does Zelda music in general.
It’s incredible
It's even cooler when you realize that theme bookends Link and Navi's entire relationship! You get the same sequence in the beginning of the Kokiri Forest theme the moment you walk out of your house. took me hours to connect the dots...
That ending..... just watching that final master sword shot with the bells in the background.... oh man... nostalgia overload!!! Ocarina is the GOAT!!! (that and Chrono Trigger... I can never shoose only one XD) Great video man!! Subscribed!
Oh my gosh. That sequence always brought me to tears in BOTW, and maybe it being from the end of OOT is a big reason why but I just never made the connection. You’re a legend, love your breakdowns ❤
Yeah those church bells have always been iconic for me so I recognized it as soon as you played it. Well done, hearing it. The other thing is you make reference to the 3 notes that start BOTW's melody, and like in another comment I made, those three notes are the sun song from OoT and when you watch the newest trailer where it shows zelda in that room with spinning wheels, one wheel is a sun and the other the moon. If Ganon is conected to the Moon, then Link/Zelda must be connected to the sun.
Thanks! So the suns song goes 5 b3 8 but BOTW main theme goes 5 1 8. So they have the same movement but they are not the same notes.
But feel free to send a link to that scene and I’ll check it out!
@@ZeldaMusicTheory Ah I see the difference now.
So for the scene, it's at 1:52 in this trailer: th-cam.com/video/uHGShqcAHlQ/w-d-xo.html
The right spinning cog has rays from the sun while the left has none of them which makes me think it would symbolize the moon.
Those are super cool references?! Like what the- 😇 LOVE that mipha and Sidon reference cause it seems so emotionally attached, incredible!💜
Thanks!
Stooooooop the last one got me all choked up!! 🥺 The connection to Ocarina of Time I love it so much. That game will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Thats so sick!! The bell toll at the end of oot is so iconic to me. I just learned the Prelude of Light in a replay im doing before totk comes out, and im remembering just how much i love the sound of that song.
Every melody in this franchise has a memory attached. Im always excited for new songs but... damn, when the recognition kicks in, it hits so hard. Though i guess thats what 20+ years of being with this series does to a person lol
Man I love OoT’s OST
The end motif harkens back to the very beginning of Link's adventure (and the beginning of gameplay) as he leaves his house in Kokiri forest. It's the same theme, but it rises to give a sense of adventure. In the end credits, the theme goes downward and makes it feel like he's truly come full circle, and made it back "home".
I really had my money on Ice cavern from Oot 🤣 just found your videos the other day and I just need you to keep this going cause there's nothing else like this! Absolutely love watching them so thank you and keep up the good work plz 😁👌🌸
Thanks so much! Yeah I really feel like this is an area that a ton of people would watch that no one was doing. I would have LVOED watching a channel like this.
I didnt know we needed this channel. Amazing
Hahaha thanks!
The musical reference from OoT that’s played during the champions being officially appointed, damn I never realized!! I can’t believe I never noticed it… and just now-ugh, it made me cry bittersweet tears. OoT was my childhood escape from so much bad stuff happening in my life: loss of family and loss of safety because of 9/11/01. That game, while no longer my most favorite Zelda game, is still very near and dear to my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
Thanks so much for this story! It’s amazing how many people have lives intertwined with Zelda at the deepest more core part of their childhood. Thank you for sharing that!
video was amazing, i was completely blown away- it's been way too long since i've played oot again! time for a replay!
This is far beyond brilliant.
Addicted to your channel.
Best discovery of the year-
Hahaha thank you so much!!
This is why i love the Zelda community
Hahaha you guys are the best 😂
I can really feel how much you love this game from your videos! Keep it going!
Thanks so much!
As a huge Zelda fan and musician I can only love your channel! Thank you for these great videos enabling us to wait TOTK (5 days left 😍😍😍)
Let’s gooo! Still not 100% sure what to do when it comes out. Maybe find music somewhere and do a raw reaction? I don’t even know 🤷🏽♂️
@@ZeldaMusicTheory yes reaction and music analysis could work!
That’s awesome, never would have realized that. Honestly I hadn’t played video games for a long time and I decided to change careers a few years back and learn to code. A kid I went to school with shared some Zelda lofi with me and it brought back all my memories of OoT. It was that music that got me back into Zelda games and gaming. Love the music of this franchise!
Zelda Lofi is sick
Regarding Mipha and Sidon, Dorephan is Do Re and "Zora" is So and Ra.
That makes a complete Do Re Mi Fa So Ra Si Do
It's quite well known in the JP community
That was an amazing reference! Thanks for sharing them!! ❤
You got it!
I just... love how some games have their main theme in almost anything it's soooo good
I just have chills. I love Zelda so much and breaking down the themes and theory ❤️
Oh I totally missed this video, I hope my timestamp helped a little with the TotK reference!
Man that OoT reference you caught is so interesting, it's almost being used as a Zelda theme for finality! The final memory, the final battle, the final scene in OoT etc
Literal goosebumps. I love these videos with the callbacks to past games, all the musical cues
It’s so full of nostalgia. I get goosebumps every time.
So that's why the theme when the divine beasts shoot their laser beams at Ganon sounds so familiar! Always game me goosebumps whenever I heard that theme.
God I wish I understood music well enough to appreciate the work of Koji Kondo on this level!
Thanks! He has been a huge blessing fan to us fans.
I think the green rupee sound effect in skyward sword might be the starting notes of the ocarina of time morning hyrule field intro, couldn’t unhear it. Love your work brother
Thanks so much!
Love your content. Happy that i found you
Thanks so much!
NO WAY I NEVER REALISED THAT REFERENCE TO OCARINA OF TIME THAT’S SO COOL? Koji Kondo and everyone behind the music of the zelda team are so talented
It’s amazing. And apparently it’s in Majora’s Mask and even Starfox 64!!! Unreal…
You're a legend.
This is my best zelda related channel right now
Thank you so much! It’s become much bigger and more followed than I ever imagined, but I have also worked really hard on it, so I am really grateful. God is good. More to come soon!
OMG I JUST REALIZED:
The Main Theme of Breath of the Wild are the begining notes of Ocarina's Hyrule Field
Almost 😅
Goosebumps when you said Ocarina of time ending, this the game i watched my brother play and make me discover Zelda's universe ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I just discovered your channel and I’m already enjoying it so much!
Also where did you find that shirt? It’s so cool.
Thanks so much! I think Amazon actually, but planning my own merch soon.
Oh my, that is surely one I definitely hadn't noticed. I haven't played OoT yet (have wanted to for a long while though) and even I got goosebumps from hearing that reference. Wow.
My guess as to why there are still so many things that people haven't noticed in the OST of BotW, is simply that a major chunk of the playerbase holds the idea that the music in this game is subpar at best. I never understood this sentiment at all, and it always makes me want to point at the vast score of BotW with shining lights and fireworks because it is just. so. genuinely. *GOOD.* How can you even say this game has no music! Honestly.....
It’s amazing music and more importantly it fits the game’s mood perfectly.
1:31 Ooohh how did I never notice these are all the same! How cool!
Great videos! Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks!
Incredible man, good job
Thanks Max!
Ok. Loving all of it, but the mi fa si do just blew my mind
Well spotted dude, that's incredible that you got that! What an awesome video :)
Thanks so much!
Never caught that. Amazing. Gives me goosebumps how connected that makes things feel.
Let’s goooo
Brilliant discovery! May Koji Kondo’s music live forever!
Breath of the Wild's soundtrack isn't Koji Kondo's music.
Oh yeah callbacks to the main theme are scattered all throughout the entire soundtrack and it’s my favorite thing ever. My favorite probably being in the DLC when Kass plays his final song in Rito village
You can also hear Fi’s farewell during the memory called Critical decision
Wow. Great insights and beautiful throwback reference. Ocarina of Time will always hold a true place in all of our hearts for a simpler time and an amazing piece of gaming art.
Unlocking the Shiekah Towers was so rewarding for the music alone. Wish it lasted longer..
I knew Fi's theme the moment it played, and it made me very emotional at the time
Ur growing so fast. Ur going to to reach 10k in like 3 days, 1k a day.
Thanks so much! I estimate probably 2-2.5 weeks unless something is a real hit on TOTK. Which could happen 😅 But already trying to figure out what to do for the 10k SUB special. Probably like a 3 hour livestream going through Zelda music. We’ll see (if I can even figure out how to make that work).
"...Fee's Theme..." A music theorist, not a philologist! Awesome video dude, I'll be back for more.
Hahaha thank you! I actually never played SS, had no idea until I posted myself and everyone corrected me. Love the theme though
That little main theme motif is also heard when waking up in Breath of the Wild
Really? Can you send a link?
This is why I love this soundtrack. it is some excellent work.
The final memory music coming back in - let's call it the final showdown (7:06) makes sense narratively because it's the champions coming together to fight Ganon. They're finally doing what they set out to do 100 years ago. So very cool!
edit: OH! Also makes sense that it's the finale of OoT
Amazing right? How cool of a reference was that…
@@ZeldaMusicTheory Every time I listen to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom music, it sounds like a love letter to the rest of the franchise 😍
Okay, the Mi Fa and Si Do were interesting, but the last part impressed me.
Thanks so much!
@@ZeldaMusicTheory You're welcome! :)
I don't know if anyone already said this, but it reminds me of the incipit of the Kokiri forest theme, when Link exits home after Navi joins him: some "the beginning is the end is the beginning" vibes here bud!
Koji Kondo is truly the GOAT
100% my fav composer. It’s not even close.
Zelda has always been a game with music themes :)
I also love the Zelda lullaby in the 13th memory
nice find on the oot ending! ive heard people also attribute that last bit to the ending of majoras mask aswell right after you beat majora. my mind when i heard it went straight to the "mission accomplish" in star fox 64, which all 3 i think use the same 2 notes
Wow I’d love to hear both. If you find links could you send them? I’ll check them out.
@@ZeldaMusicTheory absolutely!
so for majoras mask, around the 20 second mark here th-cam.com/video/ica7vAbXe20/w-d-xo.html
the start of star fox 64 mission accomplished th-cam.com/video/GuB1S_avUWw/w-d-xo.html
and a bonus, the credits end with it of star fox 64 aswell at 13 mins here th-cam.com/video/RLypi9QgT1M/w-d-xo.html
REALLY helpful! Always appreciate links and times. Do me a favor, when you find cool stuff (esp TORK but any) just send me links and times in a new comment and I’ll vet them. Definitely doing an Evolution of this theme. And you gave me an extra example at least.
Nintendo posted on twitter an ask our developers interview about Tears of the Kingdom. They have chapter 1 and 2 so far out. In chapter 1 at the bottom of the article they talk about new sound design for the game. There is a short video posted here. Upon listening to it you can hear the nearby ocean washing inland, seagulls cawing....but the background music is new and the first couple piano notes are 100% the same notes from the final dlc cutscene of Age of Calamity (where they rebuild Terrako). I was mind blown.
Wow can you send any links you find??
Every time there is a cut scene with the master sword, it makes the same sound Fi makes when you summon her in Skyward Sword. Also, in ToTK, the sound that Tulin makes when you call him is eerily similar to the sound the bird call makes in Twilight Princess.
Both are on my list. I haven’t finalized the Fi’s Theme references, but there were 3 (at least) in BOTW, and there was an obvious 1 or 2 in TOTK. I’d like to compile the and make either Evolution of Fi’s Theme, or just Easter Egg video. And the wind sound is a part of my MASSIVE Wind Temple references script. Probably 30 examples haha. That’s one of them. Be ready for that one, it’s gonna be sick.
4:22 Gonna make me cry dude
I'm pretty sure that those two cords at the end of ocarina have time are also used at the end of Starfox 64
You’re right! And I actually don’t think that was even Koji Kondo amazingly 😬
Goosebumps indeed
I think the end of OoT quote you mentioned also reminded me of a sound in majoras mask when you clear a dungeon and restore a part of the world? Could be wrong but I knew where you were going because that part in botw made me think of majoras mask..
You got it! In the end it’s played (almost identical). And in Starfox 64!
2:00 also pointing out that it’s also the same sound effect when you ask to talk to midna in the light world
Yes!
MINDBLOWN
It gets better. Your "goosebumps" reaction is extremely appropriate, because that tune actually occurs earlier in the game...in the Ice Cavern. The first time I played OoT (well, saw it played), I noticed at once that the finale re-used that little snippet of melody.
Really? Can you send a link to that part?
Hot dang, I knew that bit at the end sounded so familiar. Fitting too! We start off Breath of the Wild right beside the temple of time, and we end it hearing its church bells as we defeat Ganon
Ok, usually I watch your videos and very often it's very obvious references at least for me because I'm pathetic enough to name Zelda songs in 1-2 notes... however I didn't catch this one; I completely forgot music even played there or in Majora's Mask. It is a very neat reference.
Hahaha thank you! I meant the title- I really haven’t heard anyone mention this for 6 years. Apparently some people did, but only people like me who obsess over it. And even I missed it till a couple weeks ago. The others I understand why people caught it.
Lol the last represented when all the divine beasts strike, I was sitting in my seat giddy screaming MAJORAS MASK ENDING
and he goes "OOT ending guys!!!!"
...Yeah...THAT TOO
Hahaha exactly. I should have included MM and Starfox as well.
That's crazy! I forgot all about that section of music
I know it’s kinda reserved for that one impactful moment. But it’s there!
oh damm I knew I recognized that music but I couldn't place it, thanks for showing it off
😅
woooooooooooah I was totally going for "that's obviously the start of the game when kokiri forest theme starts playing" but that melody goes up, I didn't realize that this one in the end of ocarina of time is like the same start but it goes down, that's so mindblowing!
Hahaha incredible right!!!?
Yes! This is beautiful! It's just the kind of Zelda content I need.
Hahaha lets gooo. Somebody’s gotta do it 🤣
@@ZeldaMusicTheory BOTW is full of little details, like the chimes in Kakariko Village play the original tune from ALTTP. You should talk about every refrence you want even if it's been noted before 'cause your approach is really unique.
Keep up the great work, dude. 👊
Thanks so much! Could you some a favor and send me a new comment on any video (so much easier to find) with any other references you hear? And include the chimes you mentioned with Kakariko Village? Thanks!
You should check out Link's Memories (Zelda's Awakening), both cutscene and music by itself. Lots of references there, like the main theme, Zelda's Lullaby into an amazing transition to the main Zelda theme, and another little callback to Fi when the Master Sword talks to Zelda.
The introduction and ending of the cutscene though I could never figure out; it almost feels like it's referencing something but I'm not good enough at these things to get it, if you ever figure something out with that please put it in a video, I'd love to watch that solved!
Nice! Just listened to it and I remember that one well, beautiful music. That whole b3 2 b7 4 piano motif is similar to some stuff in TP but by no means intentional. Just minor with a minor 9. But the chord progression in there is used in the opening or Ori and even in part of the BOTW main theme. It’s one of many many notes that remains “open” just like “Times composers recycled their own material” where I’m compiling examples until I feel the time is right. I probably have over 100 notes waiting patiently like the guardians underneath Hyrule 100 years ago 🤣
Sidon is a reference to Poseidon.
Poor Sidon lost his sister.
Nice looking out
Let’s goooo I got you
@@ZeldaMusicTheory 🫡
I love the Mipha and Sidon solfege detail, but I just realized the other day their father's name is Dorephan 😭 literally do-re, right there! I'm not sure if there is a musical link there but even the name is cool! it also makes me wonder, they have to have a mother, although I think she goes unnamed. would her name be Sola? lol, great video!
I’m Japanese Zola is a reference to the Zora so you’re right! Game spot covers it but it didn’t have musical themes so I skipped that part. Very cool stuff!
I don't know what to do next, but you must watch my mates sing their barbershop Zelda medley! You'll enjoy their arrangement. 🙂
th-cam.com/video/HjXSwzZa8yc/w-d-xo.html
That was awesome! I really like a BOTW video MayTree did on yt. If I did vocal stuff I would take heavy influence from them- their pace and timing, sound effects, really catchy stuff. It’s so important for musicians to market their material well, I feel like music schools aren’t great at teaching that yet.
These guys are great and seem to be having a lot of success!
I might have found something. Here 7:10, in this track, I think there is something special with the drums.
Maybe I go to far, but I think this is the same rythm that Ravel's Bolero.
Of course, it seems at first not related at all to the Zelda soundtrack, but I assure you that, if it's true, there is a link.
Actually, Ravel's Bolero was supposed to be the main theme of the first Zelda Game, but wasn't in the end because of a copyright issue.
If it's true (but it can be not, so I would want to listen what you think about it), it would be an amazing call back !!
Wow it’s true the rhythm is the same! Probably too common to call it definitely intentional, but a very cool callback indeed if it was! And cool to speculate either way. Thanks for sharing!
1:32 played with piano at 1:49 used for Age of Calamity music score (Main Theme)
Oh wow that’s true! Hahaha totally different chords but same 4 notes!
Ok, so funny you should mention Gamespot, because you, sir, are THE Gamespot of the musical side of Zelda
While they found fun facts and glitches and the like, you just keep coming with these amazing musical Easter eggs that are an absolute treat to listen to! I would have never guessed the Twillight princess one, while on the other hand even before you even revealed the divine beasts final assault on ganon, where you only showed the cutscene with the King I heard it and I had chills!
Another amazing video, I tip my hat to you, truly!
Can’t wait for musical analysis and breakdowns of Tears of the Kingdom music! Get excited, guys!
Ecri what a nice compliment! I really appreciate it! I never intended to become a “Musical Easter Egg” channel, but there has been too much good stuff NOT to cover. And moreover, I can’t find a lot of this stuff anywhere else! It’s mind blowing that Zelda is such a huge franchise, and there are millions who play and love the music, and seemingly no one is covering it. I’ve found a few channels that I think are doing cool things, but there’s still a big void in my opinion. That’s why it’s so hard to branch out to other stuff- I feel like this topic needs to be covered 🤣
Also that Twilight Princess reference came out of left field but I’ve never heard anyone mention it! And like 5 days later I was playing a different theme from over 15 years before TP, and I found out that (I believe) it originates from THAT theme. Yep, the whole Midna’s theme motif 1 5 2 has been used in another theme involving a dark world… 😬 I’ll definitely need to cover that in a video soon. I’ve found a couple gems that I haven’t heard. And then a lot of ones I didn’t know but heard from comments.
Thanks so much for watching! If you get any ideas of what I should do for TOTK be sure to let me know!

@@ZeldaMusicTheory BotW had a variety of boss themes (Molduga, Talus, Hinox, basic enemy, Guardians, etc.)
I'm pretty sure the new overworld bosses such as the Gleeok we've seen will have their own unique theme.
Same goes for possible dungeon themes and/or new village themes that incorporate other recognizable tunes or jingles.
So in essence, when TOTK releases, maybe if you just break down themes that are either new or old, if they have certain elements or progressions and chords, or if they contain snippets from other known zelda themes.
On it!
The save selection confirmation sound in Breath of the Wild is the first note of the main theme of The Wind Waker.
There's a water drop sound effect overtop of it, but if you listen closely you can hear the first note and the two drum beats of the theme!
SO it doesn’t seem like it would be hard to find on yt, but I looked for 5 min and can’t find it (and I vet a lot of theories)… could you send a link and timestamp? I’ll defin Italy check it out.
Phenomenal Chanel my friend
Thanks so much! What would you like to see on this channel? (Zelda or non Zelda both are fair game)
Of course man! I love the way you pick out the lore related musical references in Zelda man, the new totk music will have a lot more I’m sure that we’ve yet to hear and yeah man anything Nintendo!
Ohey I did notice it! Can't believe no one ever talked about it
Nice job!
I absolutely love Mipha’s and Sudon’s theme! ❤
Congratz, You make me cry haha
I got the one from the ending in Oot , thats WOW
Between Mifa, Sidon and King Dorephan, we have six of the eight notes of the Solfege Scale... but where are the other two notes? They've been under our noses all along: Zora (So La)
That’s also in the Gamespot video, it’s insane.
Brilliant
Well, I’m not sure if anybody at all picked it up, but the opening flourish of the Guardian battle theme in BotW seems to be lifted up directly from the incidental alarm noise the Sentrobe Bombs make when they approach Link in Skyward Sword.
Wow that’s cool. Can you send a link?
@@ZeldaMusicTheory th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxrJ_RH-ZZbruF1wEjUahhW07yiJRiyDWl
It’s rough, and I got it from some other playthrough(don’t have my Wii set up for it) but this clip should have it.
Very similar- both sort of atonal and dissonant. I can’t quite connect individual notes but it could very well be influenced. Thanks for sharing it!
