Besides those, the regular “Battle” song, along with “Phantom Ganon” are my favorite battle songs of the bunch. The remixed versions of these songs for Ganon’s Castle have a more urgent and hurried pace to them. Both are key songs to the game’s plot, so being as memorable as they are seems to make sense.Įach of the game’s bosses have their own tune, and while most don’t exactly feel like a traditional battle theme, each has its own merits to make for a good listen. Makar’s Awakening is a much more lively, violin-inspired track. The Medli/Earth God song has a calm feel to it, helped along by a harp being the instrument of choice. Two of the best tracks are the “Prayer” songs on disc 2, which share a melody with the proceeding “Awakening” tracks. So how about the actual new songs? Well, they vary from good to great, though unfortunately, also often short. I won’t get into it here, but hearing that was a nice surprise. Even less expected is the new arrangement of a song from the first Zelda game, heard in track 55 on disc 2. The first is a new take on the Hyrule Castle theme, while the latter is a very beautiful (but short) version of the title screen music from the SNES classic. While not original songs at this point, the new arrangements are nicely done, especially on “Zelda” and “Fairy Spring”.Īlso of note are the tracks “The King of Hyrule” and “Zelda’s Awakening”, both being new arrangements of music from A Link to the Past. Those who played Ocarina of Time will no doubt recognize the Master Sword, Cave and House themes, among others. A combination of original music with the original Zelda theme thrown in for good measure, it’s one of the longest and most enjoyable tracks. The item-acquiring fanfares are familiar, but different enough to not feel too much like a rehash.Īfter getting through the upbeat main title theme and the classic menu screen music, you’ll hear arguably one of the soundtrack’s best in “Legendary Hero”. Fans who play The Wind Waker will notice many redone themes from past Zelda games, such as Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past.
The soundtrack to Nintendo’s latest Zelda game is an interesting combination of old and new. But is that such a bad thing? Not at all. Zelda soundtracks reusing familiar themes. There are a few sure things in this world. 14 – The Miracle Stone Shows One’s True Nature
