Cool!

This is another issue with the newer games, is it seems like all the memorable Zelda music is from the games prior to BotW. Because like most of the OST for the two new games is background/ ambience. I wish the next major Zelda goes back to prioritizing great music and weaving music into the gameplay, like OoT.

Zelda’s music is excellent, they’ve always done a great job in that department.

Oh, we are 100% getting remakes of rumored oracle games if this shit is popping off.

It's very likely that whole thing was completely made up. It was confirmed to basically just be decently good guess work. The guy that "leaked" it was the same guy who called the two new costumes in yesterday's Peach trailer, but the costumes were already teased in the September trailer.

But agreed that Oracle remakes would be awesome.

Same. While I think BotW/TotK absolutely nails the vibe they were going for with those piano notes that just fly by from time to time the OST definitely isn’t anywhere near as memorable as past titles. There are still some bangers in there, but a lot of them you’ll only hear once in your entire playthrough. The town/stable themes are the ones you’ll hear the most I guess, and those are not all that catchy imo (at least compared to past titles).

I hope they change things up with the next game.

 

[ADiTAR]

I really hope they do the Colgera battle, because that was the best music from TotK

 

[amigastar]

I love the OoT music. So eery.

Got to see them live in the U.S. quite a few years ago. The hypest moment was at a certain point the conductor stayed still for a moment after the orchestra had finished a song, then she put the baton down, turned toward us, and pulled a Wind Waker out of her tuxedo jacket to begin conducting the WW portion of the songs. The crowd went nuts.

I even got a Wind Waker replica from the gift shop afterwards. Good times.

 

[ahtlas7]

I’d pay to see this live and in person.

 

[jshackles]

I saw the Symphony of the Goddess live, and it was amazing. Will definitely check this out too.

 

[Happosai]

I'll let my wife know for sure as she's really into orchestral concerts and tLoZ.

I agree, but I think 'Kass's Theme'(especially he complete version) also falls into the classics. Although the Rito Village music is a reinterpretation of an old song, it's different enough and quite beautiful too.

Thick Thighs Save Lives Thank you for the update.

Was hoping for some more ToTK. I wanted to see that crazy saxophone riff and get a “live” performance of the Colgera theme.




Still pretty great though. That ehru is pretty neat, very special kind of sound.
