the legend of zelda theme

[lordofnightmares1]

wow my head just exploded

[budweisex]

Looks like the music of Star Fox's Credits :P

[IOYB]

0:18-0:26 sounds like the build-up for the Superman theme.

[VitaminD313]

@IOYB

I was just thinking the same thing!

[DustinHahnMusic]

I love how this piece has two introductions.

[jesusfreak777316]

do you have a download link?

[ConRyan107]

@jesusfreak777316 Is that suppose to be a intended or unintended pun?

[thiagovs3]

@jesusfreak777316 maybe this link will help you : 1.bp.blogspot. com/_Sc2gXZcaXd4/SxH0vanU8zI/A­AAAAAAAA-0/WIHsDjM1SjU/s1600/t­op10_link.jpg

[MultiBr3tt]

God zelda is the best franchise in the history of nintendo and gaming itself

[Snowshread3r1282]

This ISN'T John Williams. It may sound like his beautiful music but its really the Tokyo Philharmonic orchestra. lol :) But i love it anyway :)

[Bungiejumper117]

The Overworld Theme is the most motivating of all music for me! It really makes me want to grab a sword, jump on a horse and ride off across the hills.

Too bad I own neither a sword nor a horse...

[supertrogdorman5252]

@MrEliiz I'm sure it's been done. God I hate those

[MrEliiz]

someone should make this theme into a dubstep,,,,

[Finrodhk]

I think that the question "do you like Zelda videogames?" has never been used... people just say "what's your favorite Zelda game?"

[abdallex]

@Finrodhk thats not even a question :) 

[cowsnmonkees]

@Finrodhk like ALL the zelda games!

[mindatwillight]

@cowsnmonkees Even Tingles rosy rupee land? sad thing is im still getting it lol

[Taeljam]

@Finrodhk and the answer is every time the same: ALL!

[ChaloLaMarmota]

this should be the hyrule field theme for zelda hd.

[PSNWERT500]

Don't you feel like a man, dressed like petter pan?

[abdallex]

@PSNWERT500 LEGGINGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSS lol

[civillegas]

@PSNWERT500 Link  is a legolas brother

[ConRyan107]

@PSNWERT500 Funny story. I went to a play of Peter Pan and they played this before the play started.

[mpalitsaki1]

aewsome!



[hyruleking881]

epic

[InsanePiratePosse]

John FUCKING Williams!!!! LOZ!!!!! NUFF SAID!!!

[KevinVang1000]

Sounds a lot like Superman...

[hyruleking881]

@KevinVang1000 that it does

[KevinVang1000]

I hate when people doesn't make it original for a musical piece.

[KevinVang1000]

Wow, kick Ass! 

[KevinVang1000]

Wow, kick ASS!

[aricente]

Koji kondo composed it john william~sama arranged it. There it is that simple

[Rkmajora]

type in the source: Zelda Tokyo City Philharmonic

[Rkmajora]

It's not by John Williams

[megaclone18]

I wake up to this every morning, grab my sword, and prepare for an adventure!

[dudetheawesome1]

Make a new star fox Nintendo DAMN IT!

[Kiasko]

I love Zelda. Too bad Nintendo made the Wii now i cant enjoy Skyward Sword. If the next nintendo console is a proper games console and has backward capability, id get it.

[Baggick94]

This Song Is My Life, Koji Kondo, your'e a god ! a fucking god !!!

[chdk082289]

Dear Youtube gods, I would like to address a problem,  This video seems to have a dislike button. Thank for for hearing me out and it would be great if you could remove the dislike button as soon as possible.

[huey980]

john williams plus zelda ftw

[hanhula78]

@huey980 It's not by John Williams..

[DropDownLowrider]

Oh my god this is like getting drunk for me, such a good feeling listening to this. Brings back priceless memorys.

[electroro]

Lol i have that exact same poster.

[legendseaker]

it sounds like john williams art though! are you sure?

[Candy98Fanny]

A piece of art!

[jugulator0]

lol i thought i was just about to hear the original superman soundtrack at the start 0:18

[darbeel1]

i think the real thanks goes to koji kondo. also i dont like this version

[Wofaze]

Starting sounds like Star Wars, wonder why? :)

[DNchap1417]

@Wofaze; actually more like Superman

[habbeldabbel]

lots of people said that TP was way to easy...and i guess they´re right but in my opinion that doesn´t really matter because i think it is still one of the greatest zelda-games ever created (although almost every zelda-game is awesome!) and i just can´t wait to hold Skyward Sword in my hands:DDD !!!!!!!!

[bigfan5ify]

@habbeldabbel i think the legend of zelda windwaker is the best zelda game they made

[DrRejectz]

@habbeldabbel

I wouldn't say its too easy, I'd prefer to say it's less heroic :-) and every zelda game is awesome!

[jp7725]

It sounds more like John Williams simply mashed the Zelda theme with his own Superman theme.

[FishfilmsInc]

@jp7725 more like he had Ken Thorne mash the Superman/Smallville theme with the Zelda theme

[A7XRaydog247]

Can someone please tell me when this was made?

[Narryaque]

...If Zelda is from Japan (correct me if i'm wrong), then why would John Williams compose it?

I can imagine John Williams conducting it for a concert, but it wouldn't be one of his originals.

[trebekalex]

@Narryaque He didn't compose it. The original theme was composed by Koji Kondo. Williams just did the orchestral version

[Narryaque]

@trebekalex Ah i see now. ty for the correction.

[pivotguyDC1]

twilight princess- only hard thing was the water temple though epic ganon fight

wind waker- epic only members of the triforce should be able to breathe underwater!! awesome

majora's mask- uh tatl where do i go? oh thanx game guide! link: seriously?! three days? damn my longest was seven years!!!

original loz:it's no secret to everybody- that this was epic

loz cartoons on tape: well EXCUUUUUUUSSSEEE ME princess! im too cheap!

fuck the six people who hate this song

[TwilightPrincess841]

Finally thank you abdallex for uploadin this. after getting so mad at the people who made the LInk comes to Town music I can finally relax.

[abdallex]

@TwilightPrincess841

kinda late, but your welcome buddy :)

[ilikesalad1997]

@TwilightPrincess841 its not anything fan made...its system of a down....its a band,

[HYLIANLINK456]

@TwilightPrincess841 I am like "STOP WITH LINK COMES TO TOWN!" so yeah

[RaidrianvsValtax]

HOW DID 5 PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS?!?!?!?!?

[soulfulfx]

Amazing rendition. Most famous video game theme of all time maybe?

[RyouBakura120]

@soulfulfx Ya! This and the Mario theme! XD

[hibikiandshichan1]

I LOOVVEE ZELDAA!!

[Mutalisk1]

Was the John Williams version made for Twilight Princess?

[TwilightPrincess841]

@Mutalisk1 I just might get mad again not at the people who made the LInk comes to town music but to anyone who thinks that zelda songs wee composed by john williams. LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. THE MAJORITY OF ZELDA SONGS WER COMPOSED BY KOJI KONDO! i DON'T CARE IF JOHN WILLIAMS HAS THE SAME STYLE OR HE IS A GREAT COMPOSER, NO! KOJI KONDO MADE THIS! SO STOP THE "DIDN'T jOHN wILLIAMS MAKE THIS COMMENTS! JOhn HAS NEVER COMPOSED A ZELDA SONG AND WILL NEVER COMPOSE whew! finally got that out. :) lol

[Mutalisk1]

@TwilightPrincess841 I know John Williams didn't compose the song, I've been a fan of the Zelda games since The Legend of Zelda games on the NES. I just wanted to know what reason John Williams had to play the Zelda theme song since it wasn't composed by him.

[TwilightPrincess841]

@Mutalisk1 Sorry if I sounded mean. I was sorta mad. Lol

[nmclenn]

@Mutalisk1 paid money to do so. usually a big motivator.

[LetTheGoodTimesTroll]

@TwilightPrincess841 Didn't John Williams compose this?

[TwilightPrincess841]

@LetTheGoodTimesTroll I'm not answering that!  :p

[LetTheGoodTimesTroll]

@TwilightPrincess841 haha yeah i was just kidding lol

[Diabound66]

@LetTheGoodTimesTroll Thats wierd, i swear i thought John Williams composed this.

[LetTheGoodTimesTroll]

@Diabound66 I know....I did too but some things will always remain a mystery!

[andiders]

Don't know if this is best, or the Star Wars theme...

[johncena0034]

I have played all the games of link

[johncena0034]

This game is so cool and the music is cool 2

[metsalltheway11]

everybody knows that the best game will always be Ocarina of Time

[doctorseaweed]

Twilight Princess was my favorite

[ZeLink022]

me encanta la saga de Zelda es la mejor!!!- i love Zelda´s saga is the best!!!

[sportmustangdude]

I really liked the song and for the games from Ocarina of Time to Twilight princess i liked all of them I have played the others but it didnt have the best graphics so I moved on to the better ones. I hope some day they make a movie and I have been hearing roomers that Holly Wood sudios have been thinking about it. Great song.

[OnePicture101]

Great song nice arrangement LOVE IT!!!

[1220link]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooool

[Kareempwner]

Twilight princess was easy

havent played ocarina

haven't play majorah mask

havent played windwaker

phantom hourgalss they screwed up the old zelda story lines

link to the pas t (REALLY OLD) PWNS and is still fun

Minish cap fun also old could have been a bit easier (LMAO)

Overall i am a vaati and ganondorf fan and LoZ pwns most other video game (99% of em)

[metsalltheway11]

@Kareempwner how can you say your a fan if you have never played ocarina of time?

[clubdriver]

I bet this is what it would sound like, IF John Williams Composed it his way :)

[Uppsalahatten]

[thepinkfloydson]

[DustinHahnMusic]

Did John Williams really orchestrate this? (I know Koji Kondo wrote the theme, but who orchestrated it!? I must know).

[lynn312]

i love the music especially cause it has orchestra and band together,always thought they blended well together!mostly on all legend of zelda games love all the games!! music is sad and deppressing then joyful! happy!! and then to exciting haha then to fighting mood! haha then to creepy!>:D

[filipepw]

FRE

this is the reason i love music so much

[Pamel78]

Wonderful ♥

[Hadamar163]

Cant wait to bomb some dodongos

[rainechoo]

IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS!

and....

DODONGO DISLIKES SMOKE.

[thelegendofanything]

.....twilight princess was easy to beat...way to easy!

.....ocarina of time was a little more complicated

....majoras mask...gah i hate the time constrictions!!!! *throws gamecube out window* *huffs then sits down on floor*

......wind waker has a pretty good story line

me: I LUV THE LoZ!!!!! hehe imma dark link fanatic!! wooohooo for DL!! being randoms awesome!!

[0121ryanh117]

@thelegendofanything Twighlight princess wasn't that easy, it had some pretty challenging bits in but to be honest, it doesnt match Ocarina of time in difficulty. For playability though, its the best.

[thelegendofanything]

challenging? hmm...what parts were hard for you?

[holla06]

dude i agree with everything u just said!!!

[thelegendofanything]

who me or 0121ryanh11y?

[holla06]

lol you

[thelegendofanything]

ROLFFLMFBOUICMPAISSBISTC! hehe thxs! (spirit tracks rox 0.0 gosh nikos so freaking old i can't believe the old bag of bones still lives!)

[holla06]

i didnt finish spirit tracks cuz i bought one that was tripped up! it was brand new too -.- lol

[thelegendofanything]

ahh that bites! i had a similar prob with phantom hourglass -.-

[holla06]

phantom hourglass was cool was ok :)

[Destinyspell]

@thelegendofanything NOO ::Dive Over! ->Saves GameCube::

bro No WAy! ::pats cube:: now u and i can play Zelda Forever ~ I took a hammer to my N64 so i had nothing so Ty :)

[thelegendofanything]

@Destinyspell i adore my gamecube tho b/c its my lifeline to all of my games i think i was exaggeruating when i said i'd throw it out the window seriously who would do something like that? (except for those there rich people who can just get another gc... -.- anyone good at nun-chucks? i end up throwing the things zats y i don't like wii... wiinjurie!)

[Bowzerisadog]

@thelegendofanything lol they should make a game about him (like he's the main villain)

[DNchap1417]

@thelegendofanything: My favourites are A link to the Past and Ocarina, since those combined challenge with playability better than any other Zelda game, especially Zelda II, which was incredibly hard to beat!

[thelegendofanything]

@DNchap1417 oh i know watcha mean! i had so much trouble with that one. can you believe theres a guy on there called error? lol wat kinda name is that anyways?

[AviatorZero]

@thelegendofanything I played LoZ II for about 15 minutes, after which I thought, "Screw this crap. What would make Nintendo think, 'Hey, why don't we make our sequel COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the masterpiece?'"

[onwardparasites]

@thelegendofanything Wind Waker was really.....really....really easy but it was a great zelda.....my fav was Ocarina of time

[thelegendofanything]

@onwardparasites ahhh gotta luv the masterpiece that started TP and WW....<3 i luvs cute WW link! he deserves a huge hug for vesting that nasty old man ganondork hope he burns in hell for allllllll~l eternity

[codegeassownage]

@onwardparasites ugh Wind Waker was amazing, but idk if it was THAT easy. i mean it was easy (like most zelda games of the loz series) but i just hated that part when you had to search for all those goddang triforce pieces. btw oot was a really good game but my fav is always with ww. cant wait for loz skyward sword (lets hope its a good sequal cause mm and spirirt tracks werent that great)

[codegeassownage]

@thelegendofanything damn its like we share the same mind or something..

[thelegendofanything]

@codegeassownage lol that would be weird but yeah good to know theres awesome zelda fans out there!

[codegeassownage]

@thelegendofanything yeah same here btw are you gonna get skyward sword?

[Lamboman717]

@thelegendofanything 0_0

[christellaiffy]

@thelegendofanything heeelll naaa pwighlight princess was hard..well at least when they were trying to be ! not in the begining, like after link completed the water palace then it became a bit harder

[DNchap1417]

@christellaiffy: Trust me, I doubt you've played Zelda II; that one is the hardest of the series to beat!

[christellaiffy]

@DNchap1417 ive played all the legend of zelda games im a huge fan

[Smoopl]

Can't wait for the next Zelda game! I wasn't around when the first Zelda games came out, but I've played some of them. I really love zelda games, they rock.

[IRISHpaintball1]

My all time favorite zelda game is majora's mask. It has the best story line, even tho it's kind of hard its an epic adventure for most zelda players. I own every single zelda game except spirits tracks.

Sent from my ipod.

[KinisonisKing]

Gold cart NES owns all others. Grumble Grumble.

[buenosanada]

@cf7725

That would the sadest thing to ever happen to the video game world. Just think about it, Link dying in Zelda hands. Everyone crying together.

[Strome88]

@buenosanada

Nah thats not what Zelda is about no mooshy dying-crying stuff. Thats for girls. lol

[GURRENHEN]

Majora's Mask was ten times darker than Twilight Princess. I know for a fact that game used to creep the living shit out of me when I was a kid. Plus with the apocalyptic mood of the game and all? Twilight Princess was trying to hard if you ask me.

[Psychicqueen]

@GURRENHEN

I know what you mean. When we first got it years ago, I couldn't even leave Clock Town, it scared me so much. XD

[LeoWarrior14]

Wind waker.

KoRL: hey that guy coincidenaly has the same name and clothes as the hero of time il get him to save the world.

[Callmenobody2]

@cf7725 thoug that link isn't an actuall person, he can't really die. Only his "Host" can die.

[outsider786]

its a kids game kids dont enjoy that kind of ending though

[NerdGuy64]

@outsider786 Zelda is not a game, it's a Legend, and as for the kids part, TP was not a kids game at all.

[LeoWarrior14]

millions of teens play it and since the kids who play the game kill millions of monsters link dying wouldnt be as big.

[queenclaire6]

asewome

[EXRPGER]

This is really good. I am a HUGE fan of the Legend of Zelda series of games. My favorite one will always be the first one from '87, I was 13 years old.

[GOweville]

I personally prefer the Zelda medley that was played by the Hyrule Symphony at PLAY! This however, is still epic.

[wolf8577]

EPIC!!

[ThorgalsWalhalla]

Koij Kondo Kicks ass hard ^^ lmI

[tyrannoraptorx119]

I think the last game should be in the beginning, the very beginning, the first link, the first zelda, the firrst ganon, maybe the origins of the triforce and the master sword. maybe, just maybe, a triforce sword.

[Thepranksterone]

I think the Zelda wii game is going to have to do with the origins of the master sword...but I could be wrong

[ajreciever14]

i dont know if it is... but im sure hoping for it!

[LinkxFan12]

how'd you find the song. I wanna use it for my movie but don't know how to save the song to a file? Where'd you go to to find the song?

[ShadowSword32]

what if evil were to win for once? What if instead of the same old saving zelda, then ganon kills link at the end, eh? There, that'll fix all of your stupid nerdy problems! (I'm a nerd) I'm such a douchebag calling you people nerds! Whao am I, making such a big deal over a game? You are all idiots starting riots over the interne over a video game!

[masterbigfootgod]

like the hero berfore link he must have died to save his world, so link might have to do the same to keep the legend going

[chumbucket66]

The Zelda series is being extinguished under a wave of cheap, commercially promoted generic games. The series itself has become a victim to its own stereotypical game mechanic. It needs another revolution, it needs a genius to make the game into perfection once more, like what Hideo Kojima has done with Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to be cool, and perfect, and nostalgic. And perhaps it needs to end gracefully as such.

[masterbigfootgod]

i get were your goin but if what your saying is if link dies that will deal a serious blow to the series

[chumbucket66]

Its already dead, masterbigfoot. We need to give it one more powerful jolt so it can die with guns blazing: one more installment to sum up the series, answer everyone's questions, tie up loose ends, and give everyone a kickass emotional ride. No on gives a shit about Link saving Zelda from Ganon because its so overused. If they can do it again, but this time more cinematically, with a plot that explains the series as a whole, that would be fantastic

[masterbigfootgod]

i see what you mean, make link die saving much more than just zelda give us real story behind the legend and why link keeps being pulled into this stuff, am i at all close to what you were saying

[pasteryboy]

this is great

i love this arangment

im not dogging the music but does it sound to u like it could have been played on supersmash brothers

the begining of it sounded like alittle space age witch is really cool like futureristic kind of stuff

this is sooooooo cool i listened to it like 5 times already cant get enough

[loovusfrez]

if john williams took this theme and orchestrated it that really means the legend of zelda theme is truly a masterpiece

[dariunas]

He didn't lol

abdallex has mentioned this via an annotation, but could probably just edit the 'information' bit too (I hope you're reading this abdallex lol)

It does sound Williams-esque, but he would probably have a bit more going on to be honest... more staccato woodwind lol

[HuntedHunterKM]

Definitely the best one I've ever heard. ▲

▲▲

[chilean1980]

O_o nice

[AniRemi]

I'm not really a fan of the beginning, because it sounds too space-opera for my taste, but I LOVE it from 1:20 to about 3:00. Too gorgeous!

[P1gdude]

while i respect your opinion i must say that personally i theink that the beginning and the ends are the best parts

[AniRemi]

That's cool. DIfferent strokes. ^_^

[LinkxFan12]

Awesome! *plays ocarina ot song* Yes I do have an ocarina. Check out my videos on it.

[maximushyrule]

epic

[19oo19]

Im looking for this game and Im not sure if its a Zelda game or not. I played it when I was little but now I can't remember the name of it. At the start of the game a 16 year old princess is at magic school and she eats a lot. I remember the game had three main people in it. A girl and two boys. One boy lived at a farm (I think) and he saved this little boy in a cave but the cave fell apart and everybody blames him for it and vanish him from the village.

Can you think of the name please?
