Majora's Mask OST - Astral Observatory Re-Orchestrated

[CloudStrifeZX]

the journey...the fear...the will to survive....MAJORA´S MASK

[CloudStrifeZX]

can you even imagine listening this song on the fina day of your life? like all the pain and misery one goes through along with the happy momentes are about to end....the end....of existence ...joy and suffering alike

beautiful

[WithAVoiceOfAnAngel3]

It's really cute how the mask moves, though I shouldn't think so seeing as how in the game, it is the most evil thing to ever exist.

[TheLinktwin]

At 1:53 is probably my favorite part of the song. It makes me imagine that I'm looking down a tunnel and seeing every major event that happened throughout childhood.

[MrMyers758]

This is the first time that I'v realised that astral observatory is a relative tune of the giants theme (or oath to order) in the same was as sariahs song and the song of healing.

[drfeelgud88]

Step 1: Open a new tab and search for rainymood.

Step 2: Have it open alongside this soundtrack.

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit.

You're welcome!

[jabbawockee1887]

nice melody although the mask constantly shaking is really creepy.

[VillainousOperative]

Right now, I'm sat at my desk, gazing out the window at the starry sky and the feeling is.... well... I'm just awestruck. :')

[roamer45]

Absolutely beautiful. Kept taking my breath away.

[MrCharliebush]

I'm speechless.

[SwaggerLikeUz]

Wow!

[1REbeccaChambers]

oh shit majora's mask is dancing to the music xD

I love this song! I just go to the astral observatory to hear it

[SlamTheLabel]

skyrim is so overrated and now it got goty. XC I wish a game would get on this level and do something unique.

[tweltery]

Sounds like Christmas music, especially from 1:53 and forward.

[aerob89]

Listen to this at the same time as 'RainyMood' (google it for those who don't know, it is just a recording of rain falling). Trust me, its amazing!

[ThePurplePikminz]

lol @ majora's mask

[BioHazardGround0]

beautiful

[jShazBOT]

I don't think there will ever be another Zelda game like Majora's Mask. 

[chakas880]

sounds a little disneyish

[Jemlink]

The beauty in Majora's Mask is in its rich story and breathing, human world begging for sympathy. The story carries dark, deeper meanings than it does at its surface. Try google searching "The Stone Tower: Why Termina Was Doomed" and read the theory. Amazing stuff, and completely plausible within the bounds of the game.

I hope for remake of MM or another LoZ in its styling someday, 3DS, WiiU or otherwise.

[orangecreme222]

ultimate zelda faveorite for me!

[CaptainWolfy99]

Amazing. Just amazing.

[skullkid325]

I wish they would make a sequel like this again. I loved OoT, but MM really spoke to me. It was an incredible game. Still is.

[TuahShinguru]

Majora's Mask 3DS.

DO IT NAO.

[HelloAngelx]

*rattle rattle*

[mikurukamui13]

i want an mp3 link! D:

[RoyalLilPrincess95]

majora's mask moving like that creeps me the fuck out.

[endmosthope]

This was always my favorite zelda song, ever since i was about 5 to 6 years old and would watch my brother play, and when i played the game myself it brought back a lot of memories. What you have done with this song is absolutely fantastic.

[salasvalor01]

@endmosthope That's wonderful

[Chrome9129]

Ocarina of time and Majoras mask are the best games ever created

[Numbah1ZeldaFan]

@Chrome9129 and Twilight Princess too right?

[TheRealHackmaster]

@Numbah1ZeldaFan All Zelda games

[preiselbaer93]

It's raining at the moment, I can hear the sound of thunder and I'm listening to this beautiful music. It's so magical.

[Witsarunemitea]

I LOOOOST !! I just looost everything!! I'm so annoyed... aaa [listen to the song]... i'm.... so happy abou that *.* [euphoria]

[ReflectingLink]

A sidenote: No matter how hard I try, I can't win a staring contest agaisnt that mask for the life of me. T_T

[StoneChickenImagica]

THE HARPSICHORD. That's what I always miss when this song is redone... but this has it! <3333333

[ReflectingLink]

I'm very certain God himself made this music.

[dgph0]

@ReflectingLink

With arrangements from Jesus.

[foolintherain100]

I just started a Let's Play of this EPIC game! Come check it out if you want, I'd love to get feedback!

[Bluestar498]

Am I the only one who found myself staring at the mask's eyes and moving my head side-to-side with it?

[WlLLofD]

From 1:53 to 2:50 it reminds me of a Mario game for some reason.....

[SuperSuperstarMario]

@WlLLofD in Mario & Luigi Bowsers Inside Story in the credits theres the same instrument. your rememberings are the same than mines if i could send you the credits so you could confirm that

[SuperSuperstarMario]

@WlLLofD in Mario & Luigi Bowsers Inside Story in the credits theres the same instrument. your rememberings are the same than mines if i could send you the credits so you could confirm that and it has the same rhymth now that i noticed!

[cotycrg]

@WlLLofD Wasn't it all written from the same guy? Mario and Zelda's music, I mean.

[jhonxiolon]

3 Usuarios no lograron encontrar la lágrima de la luna. T_T

(éste tema me hace llorar).

[miniitaly]

Now we just need a majora's mask 3D

[miniitaly]

I think that all zelda games are the best but my favorites are tww tp oot and mm

[XMan2001X]

I think it's taunting me...

[shimeonmorpheus]

lol i never noticed majoras mask was a heart thats sort of ironic

[curtithird]

anybody know what music software this is?

[yamiko193]

I'm minoring in Composition at college. I think I can honestly say Koji Kondo was my inspiration! Best. composer. ever.

[ForeverMore10]

I love Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Majora's Mask was more mysterious, dark, and had a crap load of riddles to solve. OoT had the same concept, but it was more 'hack-n-slash' adventurous than it was wrapped in a riddle. MM was more bent on total destruction to humanity than gaining power and turning the world in it's own image like Ganon. Not only that, there was a time limit in MM so it adds more to the pressure - both games amazingly developed.

[Hakavidplz23]

Both OoT and MM were awesome, but i say that majoras mask had a better story and deeper soundtrack. however theres always gonna be OoT worshippers who'll disagree. (= }

[kidsparks777]

I used to have an N64 but it broke awhile back, so i beat this game on an emulator. I saved up 100 bucks and could choose from Black Ops Hardened Edition or N64, With Expansion pack and Majora's Mask. Which did I pick? Nintendo 64! :P And i had enough money for McDonalds after. :D

[GChaosProductions]

Excluding the CDI games of course, is it possible to name a Zelda game that didn't excel in every single aspect? Music, visuals, controls, gameplay, story...I dare anybody to name a single Zelda game that wasn't perfect

[TKOblue]

To the video poster: can you possibly freak me the fuck out anymore than by making the Mask cock its "head" back and forth as the music plays? 0.o

[EmptyTriangles]

I agree that MM was amazing. I consider MM and OoT equals, and they are some of the only games as old as they are that I would consider replaying, even in 2011. I listen to some of the music sometimes, like when I write fiction, or even poetry. These songs amplify my fantasy-oriented imagination.

[bealtespip123]

I hate it when people compare this game to OoT. I honestly think this game is AMAZING in it's own right. Freakin love this. :)

[nameismymike]

@bealtespip123 you're very right.

[slickmonmon13]

if the moon could hear this it would cry a moon tear apocalypse on Termina

Great orchestration!

[DaughterxOfxBlaze]

i felt my heart lurch. gorgeous...this piece doesn't get enough credit... I don't think people really stop an listen to this piece long enough to be moved by it... it actually makes me very sad listening to it... it's so nostalgic

[ItsAdrianaa]

I think what makes the OOT soundtrack and the Majora's Mast soundtrack different is that MM's isn't as repetitive. The individual songs last for longer and have a longer loop, but in my opinion one soundtrack isn't better than the other, they're both absolutely amazing, just like Koji Kondo.

[Windclaw]

1:54

I do appreciate the mix in of Dragon Quest music. It's a nice touch.

...

...

*suddenly starts thinking about Legend of Zelda + Dragon Quest*

...

...

...

*needs a cold shower...in liquid nitrogen*

[vittiez]

*cry*

[Jcocchiarella100]

Yeah, i gotta saw. I played this on the N64 and i hated it. My brother sn I wore out the N64 controller by playing mairo party. When I got the collectors edition for the Game Cube and i could actually move, i fell in love. i beat this game 100% every price of heart, every mask, every upgrade. I hope you can play the smoother version that eliminates the freezing factor.

[JimNoir1]

Ahhhh ~ ♪

This music is so beautiful.

...play this to all the world at the same time and I bet there would be much more peace in the world. I'm not joking.

[ManfredMitchum]

This must be what heaven sounds like.

[partyboyrocks69]

@ManfredMitchum wouldn't it be awesome walking in through the pearly gates and as Jesus welcomes you in you have this playing in the back? EPIC!

[BeyondMyWildestDream]

Nowadays, you get these games where all you do is shoot, there's no story line to Cod or Halo etc. You kill. But in the Zelda games, you do so much more, the story and character really get to you. You feel like a hero at the end. Zelda beats any other games

[Zoorah]

if i had to make a top 5 of my favorite video games songs, this would be part of it without hesitation!

[dannyyspencerr]

ughhhhhhhhhhh. this makes me feel so... confused but its so pretty.

[Lisawsome]

this game is amazing. It should have been longer though. And that's why I like OOT beter

[CloudStrifeZX]

a sequel or prequel would ruin the unique and exquisite experience this game is, this game is my life and will forever be in my heart

[Kracker5000]

A true Zelda fan can pick their favorite Zelda game.

A true Zelda fan will also never put other Zelda games down.

I think we know who we are.

[OctalLord]

@Kracker5000 You sir, win a internet for that. Very true.

[Hungryturtlez]

@Kracker5000 I don't know about that, I still feel like a true Zelda fan after hating on the cdi games... although rather than hate on them I guess I'd rather forget they ever existed

[Kracker5000]

@Hungryturtlez

Well I admit the cdi games were pretty bad for gameplay, but the cut scenes and stuff from Faces of evil for example were pretty good. I guess every Zelda game has its ups and downs.

[JimNoir1]

@Kracker5000 In 1989, Nintendo signed a deal with Sony to begin development of a CD-ROM-based system known as the "Nintendo PlayStation" or the SNES CD to be an add-on to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System that would allow for FMV and larger games. However, Nintendo broke the agreement and instead signed with Philips to make the add-on, which caused Sony to spin off their add-on into its own console called the PlayStation.

[JimNoir1]

@Kracker5000 Witnessing the poor reception of the Sega Mega-CD, Nintendo scrapped the idea of making an add-on entirely. As part of dissolving the agreement with Philips, Nintendo gave them the license to use five of their characters, including Link, Princess Zelda, and Ganon, for games on Philips's console called the CD-i, after the partnership's dissolution.

I understand what you're saying, there are bad zelda games but I have to say that the CD-i was horrible because of Phillips.

[Mrguy891]

@Kracker5000 What about that tingle game or somethin' lol

[LostFunocity]

@Mrguy891 I belive thats one of the few spin offs along with tetra trackers, which as far as I know wernt emensly popular, it's not an actual Zelda game as such, even though Mario kart/party etc have Mario in their name, they are still not as respected as where it all started.

[KingOfTheLesbianz]

I nearly had a heart attack listening to this version the other day. I do not have the vocabulary to describe the position of this song, the old man, and the astral observatory in majora's mask and how it easily sways my heart. Definitely having this at my wedding and having the song of healing at my funeral... how enchanting.

[curtithird]

too bad it's a game...less than half the people in this world will ever know it's beauty of story and music BECAUSE IT'S A GAME...

why must it be that way?

[finalfantasy50]

@curtithird If people could remake it for Wii or an new Nintendo console, the Nintendo team could make people see the magnificance of this game and open it up for the children born after Wii came out and the rest of the world.

[H00le0]

@curtithird You bring up such a good point! Video games are underrated by the public for their story and beauty, just because they're labeled 'video games'.

[salasvalor01]

@H00le0 Yes, I'm trying to change the industry to do exactly what you describe here. I'm going to college for computer science and want to utilize the power of video games to express the imagination, not just offer entertainment fun. I have more goals than that, but that's a huge one. There are some great games that have achieved what I want to set forth as a standard (FF VII, FF VIII, FF IX, FF X, Zelda: MM, Zelda: Oot, Zelda :WW, Zelda, TP, TES III: Morrowind, TES IV: Oblivion)... etc.

[LeMadness]

BUT WHO WAS BEN?

[Xajora]

So much symbolism and allegories that the philistines couldn't handle it.

I will always call Majoras Mask a "religous experience".

[Compooky121]

@Xajora No doubt. It was a defining moment in my childhood when I completed it.

[NaiKeZ]

Someday I hope for a sequal like MM, for the first time I saw them as real characters that I wanted to help and not as polygons that would interupt the gameplay

[SoulExpressionism]

@NaiKeZ Me too. We can help real characters who interupt gameplay.

[Namewithnoname]

I effing love the beginning <33333

[mag1011]

Okay, seriously. If you want ANYONE to watch your videos, you DO NOT want that creepy fucking Majora's Mask gif gazing into your soul.

[flowerpower111]

Wow! I only just noticed how MANY people believed in the end of the world in 2000 which was when this game was released. you guys see any connection there too?

[eraseragenda]

hey wait a minute... Do I get three wishes too?

[MeeluMaru]

Man, do I love the music from this game. MM is my favorite because it was so emotional and character driven. Sad and happy and tragic and hopeful all at once. It's beautiful. The music especially, from the observatory to the stone tower temple... People really don't give it enough credit.

[tehbackmaskr]

not really feeling this remake.....

[svett89]

The best song from the best game ever made. (:

[Jac0Frost0]

This song brings tears everytime

[BruceLiroy94]

Holy cow, this is really good! 5 stars

[VideogamesNpoptarts]

FOOLS !! Please do not speak of Final Fantasy on a Zelda game how very disrespectful !!!

[BruceLiroy94]

how is that disrespectful when Final fantasy is CLEARLY, more planned and better than Any of the Zelda franchise games. Dont get me wrong I like Zelda, but final fantasy meets some standards that zelda doesnt.

[VideogamesNpoptarts]

@BruceLiroy94 what voice acting? Lmao who gives a damn and this isn't a final fantasy video so wh ythe heck is ppl talking about final fantasy

[JoeTheToucan]

@BruceLiroy94

You may as well compare a plane with a car, they're two completely fucking different things, both good in different ways. Only faggots say "hurr durr I fink dis iz better, disregard that I suck cocks"

[samsam114]

@BruceLiroy94 are you kidding me?

Final fantasy is the same thing every game. Just with different graphics, characters, and story line. They never introduce anything new to the franchise except for FF13's battle system but too bad that game sucks. FF is over rated in my opinion

[MeeluMaru]

@BruceLiroy94 Zelda and Final Fantasy are two entirely different genres. :|

[clankb2o5]

I never liked the observ guy and this music, but i luv Majora's theme

[CloudStrifeZX]

so beautiful...it really makes me cry

[dillerd19]

A trumblewumblehumble's comment, that is so true! when i played it, and compared most of my other games like that, none made it more so than this one! i love this version of the song, mostly because it sounds so soft, but i love this one and the original.

[crazybomerman]

A really good song.....

[OneBigMoshpit]

This is one of the greatest songs ever. This is such a beutiful peice, that even the evil majoras mask cant resist to dance!

[trumblewumblehumble]

Majorah's mask was kinda the only game which could make you feel like the end was near.

No movie or game was ever able to create that atmosphere again.

[Vulpesvaltiel]

Yeah it felt amazing didn't it?

[trumblewumblehumble]

Yes, it did.

Let's put it like that: the magic of the game went far beyond the limits of it's mere bits themselves.

[mutinyinheav3n]

@trumblewumblehumble Majora's Mask is great, but you sound like you haven't played very many games or watched very many movies...

[trumblewumblehumble]

@mutinyinheav3n Quite the opposite is the case. I watched very many movies and played very many games, and i have something for apokalyptic and postapokalyptic setting. if you have any recommendation, tell me. I mean, well, lars von triers latset movie came close to it, but it was quite another approach than MM. In MM it was always like 'the dream is going to end soon', and the cheerful atmosphere was always on the verge of falling.

[skullkid325]

@trumblewumblehumble That's how it always made me feel to. The atmosphere of this game is incredible.

[Trozomuro]

Wow...

[EsojestMort]

So beautiful :)

[Optics233]

I was pretty disappointed after beating the game that I never had to go to the observatory later in the game just because I wanted to hear this track more, lol.

[ichigo275]

It amazes me how a game could capture the truly haunting concept of the world impending demise, and still create a song so sweet and tranquil that does not contradict the overall theme of the game. this is one of my favorite video game songs, not to mention one of the most beautiful. Thanks for uploading.

[Dryn85]

There's always hope, and this "sweet and tranquil" song gives you hope. :) It's so beautiful! T_T

[Burdjur]

Well spoken! This is truly a masterpiece.

[flowerpower111]

@ichigo275 very nicely said!

[kr4nkel]

@ichigo275 The game had so many dark meanings and empowering emotions that truly told one of the greatest tales in my game playing experience, that trying to explain it all would take at least 3 other comments to do so. Detail was actually taken in the game, and if you looked into each character's lives (which is one of the more indepth things to get into) you truly feel sorry for most of them. Share their pain, joy, etc. But here I go getting into it again.

[Desupty]

@ichigo275 Wow, I honestly couldn't have said it any better.

[VillainousOperative]

Purely... incredible.

Thank you.

Very much.

[Cosasita]

I want majora's mask for VC

[Silentgeargrandia]

You're in luck.

[clownmakemesmile]

This is an amazing gift from our wonderful world.Best proof that life isnt that bad at al...You made my day.Thank you....Tears in my eye...

[EvilMonkey012]

I dunno... I think the original version had a unique... eerieness to it. This is still an awesome remake, but it just doesn't capture the mood as well as the original...

[GameMaster2k5]

The mask totally kills the mood... @_@

[Dryn85]

Haha! I don't know about that! The music is so happy, and the mask moving left and right looks funny, so it's happy, too!

[ikariousmash]

majoras mask is the best zelda game EVER!

and have the best songs of zelda series

[Quietschquatsch]

Somehow this reminds me of new years eve...

[Hyperboy2164]

It does to me too. Like since New year's is renewing, the song makes me feel like something very deep in my body, soul, heart, and mind is being renewed with the tranquility that is this song.

[Quietschquatsch]

It also reminds me of very old cartoons from the 30s

[IronianKnight]

man, I love all the tracks.... but this one is special in some way............ very well done.

[carefulwiththat]

My favorite Zelda game of all time.

It was harder than OOT.

It had a deeper, darker storyline.

It's soundtrack expanded on OOT soundtrack.

[Aska49]

Yes, you just said everything that I love about Majora's Mask. It's way better than OoT.

[sotelomuniz]

not in all the music thats for sure, this and the song of healing are the best of majorask, but OOT is much better in music and themes.

[Aska49]

I have to agree in terms of some ocarina songs and whatnot, but overall I prefer all the music in Majora's Mask. I prefer pretty much everything in Majora's Mask over Ocarina of Time.

I'm strange compared to the majority of people.

[eliasfilpo]

yes indeed, youre wierd XD

i think that koji kondo was more inspired in the OOT, but majoras "soundtrack" is really good

[Aska49]

Yea, I'm not denying that Ocarina of Time was an amazing achievement and set alot of standards.

I just think Majora's Mask improved upon them even more but noone gave a crap because they were too amazed over OoT.

[sotelomuniz]

lol yes

[Goomba4001]

Exactly! It's the same with the music, too.

One thing great about MM's music though is that it really fits in the theme and mood of the area better.

[MartintheGamingGuy]

I actually prefer majora's mask songs than OoT aswell

[CloudStrifeZX]

@Aska49 Majoras´s Mask is the best Zelda ever, nothing can compare with it not OoT not TLP nothing

[darkchamberofdark666]

Maybey but its just a sequel to oot yeah and its just another bounded storyline its epic theres drama and more in it better than oot But oot is more original in the real ZELDA way

[27Lechmann]

like final fantasy 7 and 8?

[JimNoir1]

@Aska49 I like the gameplay of OoT better but the music and story is won by MM. :D

Ahhhhhh - Bliss~♪

[HnnhChan]

@Aska49 in fact, you're not strange. I also prefer Majora's Mask over Ocarina. I love both games, they are simply(?) amazing, but I love more MM

[foraminutethere23]

@Aska49 +1. such a crazy good game. I can't remember if any other game has hit me the same emotionally.

[primeEmu16]

@Aska49 nah I liked majoras mask more than ocarina too for some reason. The town feels more alive than the other game and there are more sidequests.

[HardcoreGamer4Ever]

@sotelomuniz Listen to Oath To Order and you will change your mind.

[MageLucca]

@carefulwiththat It's so brilliantly melancholy, but somehow...you come out of it feeling refreshed. It's an artful game.

[Harmon2]

@carefulwiththat THANK YOU! I thought I was the only person out there who liked Majora's Mask better! 8D

[SkeikSprite]

THANKS
