HOLY JUMPING MOTHER OF GOD

NINTENDO MUSIC...

On an APPROPRIATE STREAMING PLATFORM??!

inspired by growing up in South Florida at the time Sunshine was released, as a 1st generation American I couldn't describe the feeling of witnessing Latin music's influence for the OST. I've poured a lot of love into this mix and had so many laughs with how silly and fun this song turned out! hope y'all enjoy and thanks for listening! WEPAAAAAAAA!!!

Koji Kondo | Title Theme from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I’ve lumped together a few, since they’re so hard to separate (especially Galaxy and Galaxy 2).

If you want a mathematical way of figuring this, list all the tracks you like from each, then subtract the number you dislike from each game’s count. Whichever ends up the highest should be your vote :)

Or if you’re voting because one song in particular just hits different (Steam Gardens, Dire Dire Docks, Gusty Garden Galaxy, you know the bangers), then by all means!

As much as I liked the Mario movie, they did a massive disservice to the composers of the game soundtracks by not crediting them.

Saying “_____ song from ______ game” is really not a pass. It’s not that hard to credit the actual people who composed them, especially when for some of these songs (you know the ones if you’ve seen the movie) it’s VERY well known who did.

Ok all jokes aside, if there's one thing I genuinely and desperately want them to get right with this live action zelda movie, its the music.

Its virtually important that the music for an adaptation of this magnitude should under no circumstances suffer a single derivation or major change at capturing the grandiose and majestic and medieval flavor that makes the music for the legend of zelda, well, legendary.

The general movie going audience and casuals who will be watching who aren't all that familiar to the LoZ world needs to feel what we, the players, have felt while immersing ourselves in Link's PoV when that music hits for key moments. Imagine the emotions of how everyone in the theater will feel when they meet Zelda for the first time as her beautifully iconic theme plays in the background of the Hyrule Castle gardens, or the spine inducing chills the crowd will feel when Link goes into the temple of time and they hear nothing but the continuous echo of hauntingly chilling vocals resembling that of an ancient choir singing, or the sheer amount of fear and dread and nerve indcuing anxiety and goosebumps and that feeling of "Oh fuck shit's about to get deathly serious" when Ganondorf's badass theme is playing on his organ as Link enters the throne room to fight him like I can't keep stress enough how IMPORTANT it is that they nail the music so fucking right for this thing!

So in conclusion of this unnecessarily long rant, if Koji Kondo or any of his colleagues he's worked with on the games' music isn't rightfully afforded the position of composing the music all across the board for this film, then whatever little morbid interest I have of this movie will be written off quickly.
