The aim of my channel is to share my favorite video game music as creatively as possible.
In order to do this, I record the soundtrack during my gameplay while using various tools such as mods or plugins to remove or lower the voices or ambient noises. Then I enhance the quality using Adobe Audition. Once this is done, I work on a background picture using assets that I edit myself from the same game in order to create a unique visual to accompany the video, and I also add some effects with Vegas Pro. Those videos have educational and entertainment value because it helps people to find the names of music in video games, which are not mentioned in the games. It also gathers the community and allows the fandom to have a place to talk about my videos, the music and characters in the comment section, especially when the Zelda universe is full of theories.

What i adore about this scene in the game is that Raru had never met link and only heard of his heroism through Zelda. The fact he trusted Zelda so much and Link to say what he did to Ganondorf and sacrifice his life too was just beautifully done
His sacrifice was an act of faith.
Yes, that's so beautiful...
He trusted Zelda, as she was proof the kingdom he'd founded with Sonia would survive. When Ganondorf killed Sonia and raised his army to try and take over, Rauru KNEW Hyrule and the Royal line would survive it, because Zelda from the far-future fell into his time, holding one of his secret stones, with Sonia's mark on it. Regardless of what happened in the here-and-now, he could set the board to give Link and the people of his kingdom in the future the opportunity to finish the Demon king off.
@@jonson856Dont eat this stone ! 🥲
it's a lesson. sometimes we old folk have to trust kids from time to time, maybe they'll figure it out.
The build up to this scene along with the series' main theme coming into play when Rauru name dropped Link to Ganondorf. Pure chills. Link really is the personification of hope and heroism in Hyrule
I mean he *is* their last line of defense....
@@radiantramsy9220 The sax begins to play:
That's literally Link's theme, mate...
@@dom604 it's actually the overworld theme from nes zelda nothing to do with link. Link has never had any theme unique to himself
@@Rageouz In Skyward Sword it’s referred to as the song of the hero
Can’t believe Raru now holds the title of having the coolest cutscene in a Zelda game
man punched the strongest version of ganon straight through the fucking chest and sealed him for several hundred thousand years, all the while name dropping who ganon should remember and making clear he concidered this sacrafice worth it
@@yasquishyboi902yeah. Raruru kinda just went “TAKE THAT” and ganon is like “Hah you can’t beat me!” And then Rauru is like “Btw some guy called link will fight you and win” and ganon is like “what.”
@@Azzy-04Nice resume 👑
This incredible moment makes up for the first half of this cutscene getting reused five times.
Ah yes, do tell me about the imprisoning war again. please.
@@greenetomphson6164 fr I was getting so irritated meeting all the ancestors because they all told the same story in the exact same way. Like nearly word for word
it would have been so much better if each Sages told a different part of the story so that the player could piece it together once they got all of them and Mineru simply doing a whole recap with a few more details and the scene with Ganondorf being sealed
SO THAT WAS THE IMPRISONING WAR
@@Plupert but the sages hadn't heard the story yet so it's new to them
Years from now, someone will appear with the sword that seals the darkness. A swordsman with the power to defeat you-Link. Remember… this name.
Link…interesting…I..look forward..to…meeting him
@@SuperPrestogamerEasily one of my favorite moments in Legend Of Zelda.
The one who holds the blade of evils bane
@@The_Ultimate_Agent cringe mf
Funny how everyone even Ganondorf wants to see link
The fact that Rauru sacrificed everything, putting every ounce of his hope in a boy thousands of years in the future that he'd never met, solely because someone he trusted had faith in him as well makes this one of the saddest, yet also most hopeful moments in the entire series
that gets me thinking, since we dont yet have a difinitive placement for the botw/totk continuity and that era of the world. does the curse of demise and therefore the legend exist? does rauru put his trust in something he knows well or the hope of a young girl and her stories? did he think "that must be the hero of legend!" or did he simply only see hope in link?
also if the legend/rules of the world do exist then, does rauru just instinctively sense that link is the right one to trust? like some aslan "they just knew" thing? much to ponder much to ponder
0:33 Even after 30+ years I still get goosebumps every time I hear that theme. I hate to sound like the dork I really am but that song perfectly encapsulates not only what the Legend of Zelda games have been for me but also video games in general. Exploring their worlds filled with magic and wonder has kept me sane.
Its not dorky if its true : ) This series really has been amazing to live through.
Me too brother. Me too.
Me too man. Ain't nothing wrong with that. This theme is honestly legendary.
I've known of this franchise for a good bit of my life (my "first" was twilight princess) and I only started getting into it thanks to my older brother (I'd watch him play the games whenever we hung out) and my first mainline game was botw, but first fully played totk, I'm already close to the end, and that cutscene still is fresh in my mind thanks to tha score and the voices (Matt mercer as the demon king was a perfect choice)
@@anthonytonythegeek5561 Yeah Matt Mercer was fantastic.
The fact that it ends the exact way the game begins is so eerie
Rebirth Does It Aswell
This entire track is fucking _fantastic._ The sadness of Rauru's sacrifice and death, the epic and familiar melody that plays when Link is mentioned, all wrapped up the ominous Zonai chants at the end. I get goosebumps listening every time.
Its a masterpiece 😮
"So that's his name ... Link ... Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!"
Underrated comment broer.
I'd say he didn't disappoint 😅
Links arrives in a giant zonai Megazord
the spare gibdo bones in my pocket:
The duped ancient blades in my pocket:
Rauru is a damn badass that's for sure. He did what it took 6 sages to do once upon a time
This cutscene was so good
Which one lasted the longest in keeping Demise reincarnations sealed?
@@UnwantedGhost1 going to guess Rauru, I mean he kept him sealed for over 10k years
I believe the next longest would only be a few hundred
@@LiamKennedy-nc1wn Lol, can't believe my first thought was Fi
@@CatlordCalamity the real demise is still sealed on the master sword, so yes, So far Fi and the goddesses are the ones that have keeped demise sealed the longest
@@LiamKennedy-nc1wn not 10k years, way longer than that. He’s not the hero from 10k years ago, he’s the founder.
My favourite cutscene. Where everything comes to a full circle. I literally had goosebumps while watching Minerus Memories
Mineru?
@@Enderia2 yes
@@heehoknoobo2518isn’t it [REDACTED]’s memories?
@@Enderia2 mineru recounts the events of the imprisoning war at the end of her dungeon and that’s where we see Rauru seal Ganondorf
Got chills when the main theme played
Every time man….. every time ….
the original theme of zelda. It was a goosebump
SAME MAN 😂
Every time it’s used it makes me so happy
Same
without fail I get chills every time those heroic, brass notes hit, I can basically hear Rauru saying "Remember this name"
The lack of the proper main theme in this and Breath of The Wild really made this moment stand out. Sent shivers down my spine the second I realized what it was.
I think this is why its good its not over played makes moments like this shine
Theres parts of the main theme in the ost that play in Hyrule castle in botw
The main theme is pretty prominent in Breath of the Wild tbh, in this game it’s more absent though
@@jordanlucas7392 it’s in there, yeah, but it’s normally pitched down or thrown into another melody, I just meant hearing it stand on its own, sound like it did before, and evoke the same feeling it used to. It was used really well whenever it was used in BoTW, though.
The absence of it throughout the game is one of the reasons it hits much harder in that one crucial moment of the story. Proves that this was a right decision taken from Nintendo.
1:04 got chills when this played. Sounds so cool and eerie.
Thanks to the compositor its awesome ❤
0:36 It gives me goosebumps when Rauru said "Link", but at 0:57 you will hear the variation of Hyrule Castle bgm which elevated this song to another level. It sorta gives you an image of everlasting rivalry between Link and Ganondorf and most importantly, the upcoming fight between you and him.
Weird, I heard ths mario bros theme
@@RenSakoIt's rearranged if you listen carefully, the piano sound
@@forriver8697its actually one of ganondorf's motif, more specifically, its the one from the opening, when he lifts up hyrule castle
@@areallymeanpersonyes, and that theme is from Hyrule Castle in BotW
@@themustardman219 what part of hyrule castle's theme is it in?
As soon as Rauru did THAT thing to Ganondorf and then said the line “That pride will be your downfall”, I immediately got Wind Waker vibes from King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule vibes when he touches the Triforce right before Ganondorf did!
No one beats daphnes. He was with link the whole time
@@Silvergrove41 HE WAS A BOAT
@@Doodle1678 AT LEAST HE DIDNT DISSAPEAR ON US LIKE THE OTHERS ToT
@@Doodle1678 Bestest Of All Time
Rauru may have been a King. But he is definitely the bearer of the heros spirit in his time. Such a badass king.
i like this idea, that even if it wasn't a link who became this spirit, someone got it anyway and that someone happened to be a zonai
Fr THE king ! 👑
Doing what is right for his people regardless of the risk or personal cost, _that_ is what a King must do.
Rauru caught ganondorf mid-suavemente
I knew there had to be a suavemente comment somewhere 😂
Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight the soul of the hero linked across time and worlds will always rise up to face Ganon.
The entire point of windwaker is that the hero didn't face ganondorf
And ganon isn't always the enemy vaati existed and technically Demise isn't a ganondorf either
@@Conduit_king cool '-'
You’d really think Hyrule’s historians would have remembered to write down that the corpses of the first king and his greatest enemy ARE RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE CASTLE.
From zelda mentioning her father avoided the topic of what was underneath the castle, I think he had that information gathered up and hidden or destroyed.
The Information was hidden by someone probrably our of fear wich was thier big mistake.
@dr.tursko2312 so basically even after he's been long dead, zelda's father still accidentally fucking up his own kingdom
No hyrule kingdom want that to be kept as a secret and forgotten
That's the whole reason why hyrule
Castle was built underneath ganondorf corpses
Forget that, why didn't they just take Gannondorf's secret stone and then kill him? I would understand if there was a barrier keeping him in place or something but he was completely exposed! These guys are idiots!
I always get chills when the distorted voices play at the very end and the shot pans out
Fr everyone's talking about the main theme (and rightfully so) but there's something so chill inducing about seeing a reflection of the shot we saw in the first trailer 4 years ago - all the theory crafting about who the hand belonged to and what events led up to it and we finally get to see it.
the main theme coming literally made me cry
Same 🥲
@@IdentifiantE.S T-T
Probably my favorite cutscene music in the whole game. That transition from the Zelda main theme, to what I assume is Rauru's theme (the sad piano motif, IV - iii - ii - vi) is beautiful and I immediately recognized the callback from Rauru's farewell at the end of the tutorial. Really cool.
It's crazy how Rauru's theme plays with the first three notes of the classic main theme because he's the first king of hyrule, and then you get a one second sound bite of Zelda's theme like how Rauru had only met Zelda for a short time -- just enough to recognize her for what she is. Then and only then do you get the epic version of the LoZ main theme playing for the first time the whole game, and ending the score was another sound bite of a similar sound cue to what you'd hear once you've correctly solved a puzzle.
@@MakoTsukigami Im glad someone else caught that. When I first heard his theme, I noticed it sounded like the beginning of the main theme. Its almost as if his theme was composed for this very moment in the game, to transition into the main zelda theme. Like as if signifying how rauru is paving the way for Link. Very good thematic use of music as always from Nintendo
@@MakoTsukigami love that
This music makes this such a heartbreaking moment. After losing Sonia, he's completely willing to die for his kingdom. His and Zeldas sacrifices take so much, and the music that goes along with them just stabs you right in the feels
Can't believe Zelda simped so much for Link that Rauru put his whole hope into a guy, he never even met and who will be born countless of thousands years after Rauru's time (Zelda is just like me fr)
Exactly my thoughts. After watching this scene for the first time I was just looking at Link like "damn what did she tell him about you"
Zelda bieng a simp saved the world
(Multiple times)
Rauru's theme is an incomplete version of the hero's song (TloZ Main theme) and only in this part of the game, when he sacrifices himself to save Hyrule, the song sounds complete
"Years from now, someone will appear with the sword that seals the darkness. A swordsman with the power to defeat you- Link. Remember... this name".
"Link... Interesting... I look... forward... to... mee...ting... him..."
Ganondorf: *Grabs Rauru* Only The Master Sword Can End Me So THINK AGAIN
Rauru: Master Sword? *Turns To Zelda* You Didnt Mention This About Some Master Sword
Zelda: Yes Its True Rauru Only The Master Sword Can End His Life
*The Sages Look At Zelda*
Rauru: So All This Is For Naught?
Zelda: Yes Rauru I Warned You Before Hand *Lowers Head* I'm Sorry
Rauru: How Can I Fix This??????
Zelda: *Shakes Her Head No* No One Will Wield The Master Sword For It Is In Great Sorrow
Rauru: Great Sorrow?????
Zelda: YES The Hero Of Time Is Dead And The Master Sword Is Without Its Master
Rauru: Who Killed The Hero Of Tim-
Zelda: *Points To Ganondorf* I Remember It Clearly
Minaru: IS This True?
Zelda: Yes I Did See His Demise
Minaru: Demise Whos That
Zelda: The Ancient Demon King Who Was Sealed Away Long Ago And It Was Link Who Sealed Him Away
Minaru: Where Is He Now?
Zelda: Still Sealed But Now
Minearu: The Master Sword I Mean
Zelda: Its Asleep
Rauru giving his life and placing all hope on a knight he's never met shows that he trusts Zelda's word that Link is the last line of defense and will avenge them.
Its so beautiful 😮
It is always satisfying to listen to the main theme of the saga, even if it is only in a few seconds of the best cinematic of the entire game.
If you concentrate yourself you can hear calamity ganon theme from 0:58 to 1:04 its nice that nintendo think of it
This scene and so many others in tears of the kingdom made me cry. No wonder why that’s the name for the game 😭. Rauru and Sonia are some of the best characters in the zelda series imo, and the fact that Sonia was killed but Rauru still didn’t give up and sacrificed himself for future of his kingdom is so heartbreaking but also so badass
Rauru is the sole reason the zonai are goats
@@lukesmith6884Quite literally
Raul was an amazing King, the true king of Hyrule. Amazing...This scene is epic.
“King” Rhome something Hyrule who?
@@Dip7man yeah, but Raul found Hyrule, i mean, rhome Is ok but never exist if Raul dont found hyrule
Rauru* 😂
@@andreserickson6963 Sorry, in italian Is Raul. I'm italian so i call him with italiano adaptation
@@IzawKheruss Ahhh that makes sense then. No need to apologize!
"Thousands of years will pass in the blink of an eye. You only delay the inevitable."
"You're wrong. Years from now, someone will appear with the Sword That Seals The Darkness. A swordsman with the power to defeat you - Link."
_"Remember...this name."_
"Link... interesting... I look... forward... to... mee...ting... him..."
In the afterlife
Ganondorf: "hey you, lying goat, didn't you say that guy Link was gonna fight me with a sword?"
Rauru: "I did, what's the problem?"
Ganondorf: "he came on a giant Mecha, when I realized it was him there was already a rain of beams and flames and bombs above me..."
Rauru being Link's hype man
Nah it was Zelda
you may rest now Rauru you can be with Sonia now and i promise we will defeat Ganondorf for you
The goat ! 🥲
FOR HYRULE, AND HER FUTURE!!!
“That pride will be your downfall, Ganondorf!” Is probably one of the best lines I’ve heard in a while
Its cool that the last thing ganondorf hears before being sealed away is "link" and the last thing he says before getting nuked is "liiiiink".
Fr Thanks Nintendo ! 😀
god this game is so fucking good 😭😭 i wanna go back to when it first came out, like it was genuinely just so fun. they improved on botw’s world so much and the ending was amazing. the final fight, finding out ganon can dodge your attacks, finding out zelda was the light dragon, rauru warning ganon of link, GANON BECOMING A DRAGON?! and then having to fight him with the help of dragon zelda? like these were all just so memorable for me. i liked botw but i really connected more with totk.
“You bind my heart and seal my magic.. you plan to hold me here.. what a clever way to solve your problems. But are you ready to pay the price for this?
“Don’t be so smug. I know exactly what it will cost me.”
“..Rauru..!”
“AHAHAHA! Thousands of years will pass in the blink of an eye. You only delay the inevitable.”
“You’re wrong. Years from now, someone will appear with the sword that seals the darkness. A swordsman with the power to defeat you, Link. Remember.. this name.”
“Link.. interesting.. I look forward.. to meeting.. him.”
This is one of the best scenes of the entire game. The buildup to it was amazing, then when the music swells into the LoZ theme (link’s theme) when Rauru is talking about link smacked me in the chest. I was speechless. 10/10 scene.
I didn’t feel this song when I played through the game but now that I hear it again. It made me tear up.
You’re not the only one 🥲
At this point the main theme of The Legend of Zelda is just Link's Theme and I'm completely fine with that.
Absolutely especially because it makes for epic moments like this if the main theme had been used more it wouldn’t make this scene stand out as much the use of the theme here just elevates the scene
it actually is
it has been his theme since ocarina of time is called the hero's theme and link ofc is the hero
@@panik9122 I don’t remember the main theme/ overworld theme being in ocarina of time it was in Majoras mask Termina field but not Oot
@@panik9122 pretty sure skyward sword was the one that officially turned it into the heroes theme

The end of a king, the start of a legend
I literally cried during this part
of zelda
This scene literally had me crying the first time. The transfer into the main theme as Rauru says the name is so emotionally raw to me. Shit had me in tears and still gets me now
its a lot less dramatic when you realize that link gets clapped in his first encounter with ganondorf
Not really given that Link survived and Ganondorf's little trick there didn't work after
@@twinzzlers i sincerely do not give a shit
@@OakleyDokaly I sincerely do not give a shit about you not giving a shit
@@twinzzlers :D
Rauru's theme followed by Link' theme hurt me so hard
Link litteraly got unlimited rizz,
Got loved 10 000 years ago,
Get the princesse anyway,
Everybody love him
In my opinion this is the best cutscene in the game. When Raru said "remember this name" it sent chills down my spine.
Raru had to sacrifice everything for a hero he didn't even know during that time...
0:35 I do not know why, but every time this part sounds with the trumpets, I imagine all the links appearing in epic order until the current one.
They were trumpets? I thought they were French horns
@@ashrolow5804professional French horn player here! They were French horns 100% 😊
@@thelionkim5660 Oh okay thanks for telling me I was wondering what instrument that was! :)
"I look forward to meet him"
Finnaly we have win 🤝
This and the zelda lullaby on the final geoglyph memory...they really made me put the tears on "Tears of the Kingdom"
0:48 and everything after gives me chills, I know that the main theme being there is cool like it's triumphant and stuff but... there's this feeling of antiquity and legend for that part, and how everything leads to the present day. An era so old it's now legend. And after seeing that memory, it all clicks. It ended the same way the game began, especially with Ganon's power stopping in time and the light in Rauru's eyes fading in that moment. It seems like the Hyrule we were in always had Zelda in the past and all this was supposed to happen, now our story is written in history. It also feels like symbolism of Demise's curse, and how our fate is intertwined in an everlasting battle. Forever, for Eternity.
Edit: After some thought I've decided that English needs to invent a word for this feeling, what I feel isn't exactly like anemoia but its similar too. I dunno, its like a historic feeling (?) idk how to describe it. Imagine you're reading a history book about a major event in the distant past and you finish it, then you're like "Aha so that's how it was." and get this strange ironic feeling of how one event leads to another towards the present day. Its a feeling I get a lot playing Zelda games, especially this one cuz of how far back Rauru's time was.
SRY FOR THE RANT LOL
This song will go down in gaming history as one of the greatest pieces of music
"I know *_EXACTLY_* what this will cost me!"
the reason I like Rauru's... it's because how brave he is for risking his own power and life to prevent Ganondorf's Dangerous Power to rule the whole Hyrule into the darkness...
How many times am I gonna hear this theme? Yes!
We didn't just have dozens of hours of gameplay building up to this scene. We had nearly 4 years since the first BotW Sequel trailer bracing us for this scene. The final shot of the memory took me all the way back to 2019.
My fav part for some reason is the instrument playing in the background at 0:57 I would listen to a whole song with this.
What I love the most about not just this music, but the scene with it is amazing. Rauru didn’t sacrifice himself not just to save his people, it was also for some hero he didn’t even know about. Literally Zelda told Rauru about Link and that’s it. He literally sacrificed his life for his people and Link based on shear faith for Link and I absolutely love that.
I've spent so long looking for this... Now, if only I could find Ganondorf's awakening theme...
Prologue theme tears of the kingdom, thank me later
@@_____Shadow_____ Alas, that's not what I mean. That's the music for when they find Ganon, not when he wakes up.
The music at 0:49 is so beautiful
Ganondorf has no idea what he's in for. He hasn't seen the Golden Lynel clips. He hasn't even seen the King Gleeok clips.
The music here had so much emotion.
This is the only scene in anything that ALWAYS gives me chills
That clean trumpet sound always gets me to have goosebumps
This scene gave me serious chills. Perhaps one of the greatest Zelda moments yet.
Maybe one of the most memorable moments in videogame history. I didn't expect this game to has one of a kind story like that... man what a game ❤
It really doesn’t, imo the story was so lame. I felt nothing while watching this cutscene nor any of the other cutscenes.
1:04 I miss this creepy and eerie music.
fun fact about the motif used at the end of the track! It's both used in relation to the Zonai people, as well as Ganondorf, leading me to assume it's a theme motif representing the ancient past/founding era! It's also sprinkled throughout the entire game, like in the surface and sky battle themes, as well as the shrines of light
I really love the little zonai echoes at the end
That one part of the theme: Whats the matter, lives flashing before your eyes?
Raru's theme is SO good
It’s just 2 notes.
One of the first scenes we saw glimpse of back in the 2019 trailer... it felt almost legendary when we finally saw it fully!
I love how it's not even a brief motif.
Nope, you get the FULL Legend of Zelda fanfare.
God that build up to the original theme is so freaking EPIC!!!!!!!!!
Man I’m so ready for this boss battle, listening to this to get me more hype
Chris Hackney is such a great voice actor, I love how his Rauru voice is so close to his Dimitri, that when he gets angry it slips into the Feral Dimitri its wonderful
I get goosebumps to this every time!! The freaking main theme playing in the background when Rauru said “Remember this name” IS SO GOOD HDJSHHSDWUH
Chills 😭
The moment where it zooms out to show the shot from the beginning of the game and that ominous intro music starts playing gave me chills. It’s an excellent full circle moment.
This song…it just gives me chills everytime I hear it, and it makes me want to go play it again. I didn’t think BOTW could be beat, but dang…this TOTK game is just so amazing. Amazing job Nintendo, absolutely amazing.
That pride will be your downfall GANONDORF.
Here rests Rauru. Last of the Zonai. Leader of the Sages. First King of Hyrule.
the last of the zonai is mineru tho
@@frangip6she died before Rauru her spirit doesn't count
Rest in peace rauru
0:35 very few songs so perfectly capture what it means to be a hero
Rauru is easily my favorite character. In many ways, he was the true hero of the story!
PEAK FICTION.
I may not be a music major, but just from the music you can hear what is unfolding. The first part has some distorted music, it transitions to Raurus theme, slowly building up to the main zelda theme finally regressing to Raurus farewell theme ending in the zonai chant.
I got to this moment the other day and when the main theme hit omg immediate tears
Majestic
I fucking swear that rauru is more then a zonai and possible a reincarnation of link just as Sonia is of hylian. Because if he is able to do that for 50 thousand years he sure has a lot of courage to sacrifice himself like that
Hes definitly a incarnation of Link. If theres a Zelda (Sonai) and Ganondorf there must be a Link
@@ZeroJump YESSSSSS!!!! DARGON LINK!!!
@@Silvergrove41 Also a Link whos a King, talks a bunch and marrys Zelda Lol... So to be fair he could just have the triforce of Courage and not the spirit
@@ZeroJump XD yeah. Like windwaker link who is just a kid and had no relation to link at all except being named after him. Either way we got the triforce
That pride will be your downfall Ganondorf!!
I cried during this scene
That chant at the end is anonymous.
I would love the track that play when Ganondorf rehydrates
Thank you! I have been looking for this melody and could not find it! It's such a beautiful piece.
