The Ballad of the Wind Fish

[LysYoru]

T-T i'm gonna cry... i really love this song

[gamereviewerbr]

10 people forgot Marin and this song

[gothboy34]

marin i will never forget you....

[dysfunctionalMusica]

quite possibly the prettiest song in all of the zelda games. ♥ certainly my favourite!

[sonicman1011]

this + ocarina = epicness :D

I love this game, I just got it a few days ago from the eshop and I LOVE it!!! (I've already beat it, just finished it today and learned it on the ocarina :D)

[squallcloudzell]

why is this song so sad? and i will never forget this song or link's awaking. it is impossible for me to do so

[guenslash]

best zelda ever

[maxtervan]

I need the Mp3 of this version... where can I get it?

[bioniclezelda]

@maxtervan a youtube to mp3 converter?

[maxtervan]

@bioniclezelda I've never liked these kind of programs... but I think I have to get one now...

[MewtwoGenetic]

Wow one of the best games Ive played, I remember I was on a 3 day trip moving to my new home, and I had purchased this game to play it on the go, I had only a gameboy pocket and I had to play during day because it had no light, a soon as we got to my new house i finished the game, it kept me alive during boredom, thank you Nintendo for such wonderful game

[Th3Skull3r]

It's almost a shame that a song this well-composed premiered on a console with a crummy sound chip. I wish nintendo would do the song justice and give it an official orchestra version like they (almost!) did for brawl.

[maxtervan]

@Th3Skull3r The brawl version wasn't orchestrated, it was just a remix.

[darrianjt]

i didnt forget, marin

[ModernGenesis]

@darrianjt this made me smile. I was going to post the same thing.

[scormern]

@darrianjt I didn't either, as a kid I always thought Marin was pretty, I guess you could say I had a crush on her ;P ( I still think she's pretty)

[Folken86]

nice version of an awsome song, bye the way, could anyone give me the link of the picture, it's a nice one and i can't find it...

[QwertzPrince]

At the end of the game she gets wings and flys off if you don't die once. do you think that's the beginning of the Ruto you see in Windwaker?

[13nrandom]

Is this the original or a remix

[zeldaleader]

@13nrandom more of a touch up then anything, the original is more 8-bity and has a faster tempo

[JockenN]

I have this Zelda game on gameboy. The gameboy games are often underrated. This is one of the best in the series according to me, and the ballad is so beautiful... A great song in a great game!

[HelenRox98]

im gonna cry. why was i born so late?

[GhibliOriginals]

The Legend of Zelda:

Producing Awesome Themes since 1986

[13nrandom]

None of the remixes of this song stay true to the original. None of them sound sad, but this does.

[lkeandTheEmblems]

Can they change Links appearence? He looks sorta homo to me and some other people. No offense but he does.

[RATPT0I]

@lkeandTheEmblems

That's what he always wears...

[lkeandTheEmblems]

@RATPT0I I know, I try to tell that to other people. The only game where he didn't look odd was Wind Waker at the beginning and Twilight Princess.

[robii254]

@lkeandTheEmblems You say that like it's a bad thing

[lkeandTheEmblems]

@robii254 I just don't like his appearence that's all, he only looks homo if he has nothing covering legs. No homo.

[staine95]

i dont regret buying Link's awakening on my 3DS, I love it . especially this song, which makes the game so wonderfull <3

Thanks nintendo, for completing my life <3

[DemonticKitty]

was i the only girl,or kid that would leave on their gameboy color all night with malion singing just to hear this song. screw acevements,just playing to enjoy the game rules and i mess the days of no youtube lets plays,not internet,not real way to beat it other then try try try. hell i was better at links awakening as a kid then i am now.

[ThePizzapieman123]

it does too sound like the one in mm but a little remixed

[superpredatorbros]

I Didn't like the sailing in wind waker i much preffered ocarina of time

[KlingeLP]

Magic :)

[MetroidMasher17]

@ZirgonZ Back in the 90's, game systems were limited in their ability to produce good graphics and sound, hence the term 'retro'. We don't even consider those games or their music to be part of our generation.

Above all, those games put more emphasis on gameplay.

Now...well now, I think the second half of @Despero101 's comment pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

[squallcloudzell]

it makes me feel sad what the picture says with the music it is heart touching and i wonder if malon's dream came true or was it just that just a dream

[13nrandom]

This song is amazing but the begining irritates my ears.

[Ratama]

I wonder if this game me gave me a predisposition to the HAZE or rather to the island survival mystery roleplay NWN persistent world game type.

[MrM222222]

wow this is magic

[Despero101]

...This song Brings back so Many Memories...Than you OMG Thank you puts tears to my eyes Classic games just bring more to the table than the new age games

ya you get better graphic's but... you loose over all the core of Game's. Thank you so much for making this video

[FacePalmSyndrome]

@Despero101 I know, but every so often new games become instant classics, and thats amazing... :D

[GeneralMcNeil]

@Despero101 I'm with you dude, the graphics are compensation for story. that's typically what it is. no one cares much about story anymore and it's sad.

[MrTails63]

This melody need to be used in a Zelda Game like : You played the The Ballad of The Wind Fish and that makes someone happy...

[Makutus]

@MrTails63 It DID happen in Majora's Mask, but that was the Ballad in name only. 'Twas horrid compared to the real deal, methinks.

[GhibliOriginals]

RRROOOOOOOO!!! (lame attempt to imit theWind Fish XD)

[StrykeTheDark]

This music is GREAT! It reminds me a lot of memories ^_^

[fruitsbasketissweet]

I had this game when I was younger, and unfortunately I lost it :'(

But, a couple days ago, as I was looking on the eShop for the 3DS, I saw this and completely spazzed out. I was just so freakin' happy

[LeaveItToErik]

@fruitsbasketissweet i was happy to! i never got to play the game and now i cant put it down

[pnorberg1]

For some reason, when ever I hear this version of the song, I imagine Link and Zelda dancing together. Link and Zelda, holding hands, as Link twirls her around (and doesn't step on her toes). This will be playing as me and my future husband dance at the reception.

[pnorberg1]

For some reason, when I hear this version of the song, I always imagine Link and Zelda dancing together. Link and Zelda holding hands, as Link twirls her around (and doesn't step on her toes), it is such a beautiful song!

[PearlsofLife3]

ok its settled, i may never get the new game but i absolutely NEED to get this. i know i just got spoiled on the ending by reading the comments on another video but that actually makes me want to play it all the more. so far as i know it has a beautiful story to it. and this song is just so beautiful!

[RomeuS645]

le jeux n'1 pour l'atmosphère magique !!!! tout ca dans une simple cartouche !!! dans une toute petite pile de sauvegarde !!!! moi je dit chapeau c'est pas un jeux mais une aventure magique et envoutent et surtout un mystère !! comment on peut installé tout ca dans une si petite cartouche !!! c'est se que je me demandai a l'époque ou le jeux est sorti :)

[parodylover]

Best song ever created, and I gotta say, that's one kick-ass picture. It captures the emotion of the story!

[collement]

The most underrated Zelda game of all time. It definitely deserves to be among the top in rankings of the best Zelda games ever made. I wish they'd make a remake of this game for a home console. It would be amazing to have beautiful music like this combined with the graphics from the Twilight Princess or something. But whatever happens, the classic Gameboy version is amazing.

[MastadonProductions]

One of the few Zelda games i haven't played but i love this song... and i will deffidently play this game

[MrShottyGun58]

This Song Is Playing At My Funeral!

[VampireLadyCA]

@Twister980 yepp your right. If they want to make a good game they do it. But they dont care about that, so they just want it to look good ... thats all

SNES games ftw q_q

[spyrolad]

The picture made me want to cry

[Khelevandros]

Damn.... this pic, and knowing its context in the game, makes me wanna break down and bawl like a baby T_T

[TerminaSavior]

This was always my favorite tune out of the entire game. I own the original game, not the DX, and I often times like to employ the screen warp glitch so I can take Marin with me wherever I go. Cause she only exists for so long, and then you have to say good-bye... T-T

[wonphi]

It's amazing what the devs could do with an 8bit handheld like the GBC. It's literally been years since I played this, but I will always remember this tune and this amazing game, which captivated me as a child and burned an eternal memory deep into by mind. Not many games can do this, even with all those visuals and production values of the modern era.

[masterkillerdude]

This song is so great. Especually if its a remix of it. I would whistle to this song

[zapz0rd]

This song/game literally gives me the chills every time I hear/play it.

[Evilriku13]

I want a download link for this wonderful music. because this has a touch of an RPG music.

[ZirgonZ]

This is my single reminder to why I don't throw away my old GameBoy's, GameBoy Pocket and/or my GameBoyColor.....

This song has made me repair aforementioned consoles again and again and I'll probably be repairing them 'till the end of time.

[ChampionRevilo]

@ZirgonZ I can picture an old man, on his death bed, repairing his old Game Boy, his so old Game Boy, as old as he is, just so he can hear this again before leaving this world, tears flowing on his chins.

[GreenThunderful]

Amber I will never forget you and I always love you with all my heart I wish you were here with me v.v <3 I love you Princess Amber

[Atrasol]

I miss when a game was a good game because it was fun and had a good story, not because it had 50 hours of cutscenes and good graphics. LttP and LA are still the best zelda games out there, not that I don't like the new ones, those were just the best. and Earthbound is still my favorite game of all time.

[eternalflames03824]

now and days its so hard to start a covo about old things like zelda and chrono triger and esc (i miss the old game plots

[MissMsJosephine]

I am a part of N64 and Snes generation, and I can´t appreciate enough for my dad and my mom to play the old Zelda and the old Mario along with me.

[carlosc1dbz]

It is so hard to get my gf into these games. Little does she know that the story is better than anything you could watch on tv, and you are the hero!

[TheRisingShine]

I'm part of the Gamecube/PS2 generation, and I still love my SNES, and GB, way better than my 360, or Wii.

[Zaraxion1]

they think good graphics and lots of blood(in most games) will make people buy the games and since people think its a good game they will buy it but they DONT KNOW SHIT about a good plot seriously i played a lot of classics and still do and whats best is that since their old they are normally something like £3 to £10 win win for classics ill never forget the legend of zelda classics they are the best

[TheRisingShine]

@Zaraxion1 They don't think it does, they know it does, because it is sadly true.

[EnobyXD]

I'm not going to talk about the game, just the music. This is by far my favorite music in any video game. It is so simplistic, yet beautiful. Heartwarming and sad at the same time. It's just amazing.

[sunzsu]

when i was a kid i cried after finishing the game ... now its the first time i hear that sound since then. i am 27 ... kinda strange feeling. its like you wanna be a child again. damn... im sad now^^

[BrianRobertsfan]

Honestly, my friend has spent thousands of dollars on a games because "the graphics are so realistic." I'd prefer to play a nice bad graphic Zelda game than randomely shoot people that look so real I forget that I'm playing a game. Heres to the N64 days, and heres to a comeback in Nintendos great games!

[DekrosnaArcana]

:) alas this song touches the hearts of many but what will they do upon the realization that they have lost something... anyways I am learning this song on a Replica of the Ocarina of Time... granted i don't have all the Fancy not range of a Double or triple ocarina but still I am learning this song and so far i am doing good with it... I know my Ocarina fairly well.

[KemaTheAtheist]

Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't sound quite right...

[Bobgoober16]

Sometimes I have nightmares about the future of gaming, Zelda is one of the few series that has never disappointed me.

[DamascusTer]

I cry everytime I see the end of this game or when I hear this song...

[tloz171nfs]

love the song, but why does Link look like a girl? lol

[uulmshar]

@tloz171nfs It's the cut of his tunic paired with long legs.

[ganonslayer01]

Link's Awakening is so underated...

[JB0007inu]

brings back so many good memories!

[Zach1992B]

I'm part of the new generation of gamers. But my older brothers did the right thing and made me play every Zelda game ever created lol. And as bad as the graphics are, I still prefer those games over all the new shit like Left 4 Dead, Gears of War, Fable, ect. New games like those can't hold a candle to the classics.

[Alphareflex1]

@Zach1992B your so right bro.

[Link0306]

@Zach1992B Nothing wrong with Left 4 Dead, Maybe GoW, but not L4D.

[DeeEll1]

@Link0306

there is something wrong w/ l4d. where does it challenge your mind? i love zelda games for the equality of fighting and puzzle solving as well as story plot which l4d is lacking.

[TheSweetKnight]

@Zach1992B

Why do Graphics matter for a game?? why? I dont understand the graphics are so beautiful. I grew up with this game

[Phalanxification]

@Zach1992B As an older gamer, just wanted to say thanks. You're part of what keeps the classics alive. Make your kids play them, and your grandkids, because I don't want to wind up doing let's plays in my sixties because nobody else can remember what these games were like.

[BeanManIncorporated]

@Zach1992B Same story with me.

[parodylover]

@Zach1992B Ok, I completely agree with everything you said, because I am a classic gamer, but leave Left 4 Dead out of this <3 It's the only exception I have ever found lol

[zepalom]

@Zach1992B I loooove the classics but man I still love me some L4D

[malekai777]

@Zach1992B In my world....i was the older brother......I can't believe i'm about to fuckin cry

[Unl0gisch]

@Zach1992B but you wrote down only the good new games... why not CoD, CoD and Cod?????

[ChampionRevilo]

@Unl0gisch Only good new games??? What about Nintendo? They're the only one who didn't change all their games to some FPS shit. They're the only on still making games as old school gamers knows them. Nintendo is the only company that has a console on the market that REALLY is a video game company. Apparently, they're the only one who remember what good games are.

[Unl0gisch]

@ChampionRevilo thats true, but L4D, Gears of War etc. are good games, but I know what you mean, all companys changed the games into more violence

[JustifiedH8]

@Unl0gisch Not really.Even nowadays companies try to create a game world with really nice settings and some brilliant landscapes or environements. But the thing is that games like Links Awakening, Mystic Quest, The Wind Waker, FF7,8,9 have a world that's perfectly assembled. Even if some gameplay elements were not that great they managed to enchant us with their love for detail and their awesome look. Newer games unfortunately can't do that anymore.

[ChampionRevilo]

@Zach1992B Wow. You can't believe how happy it makes me to hear that younger gamer can also love and enjoy those GOOD games. I grew up with every Nintendo console. I know what a GOOD game is. Kids nowadays really have no idea, I think it's kind of sad...

[Magitroll]

@Zach1992B

Although Left 4 Dead is a good game, but compared to Zelda, it is of course nothing.

[steaktastebetterpill]

@Zach1992B I just quoted that on facebook, cause it´s so damn true.

[gzomyndzor]

@Zach1992B With you all the way.

[Rizward]

@Zach1992B Well said bro...well said.....

[666blaziken]

@Zach1992B EVERY ZELDA GAME? Well what about the faces of evil or zelda's adventure? LOL just kidding. But while a link to the past is my favorite of them all, I still think that skyward sword will be a great game (better than LTTP).

[zDallasCowboys008z]

@666blaziken Dunno how you can make that assumption that it will be better than arguably one of the best Zelda games, when it hasn't even come out...

[666blaziken]

@zDallasCowboys008z I don't know, maybe I'm over hyping it. It just looks like a really good game. It has been in production since 2008. It just looks like a brand new game with an interesting look and an exciting control scheme. But yeah, good point it didn't even come out yet. At least I am not a hater of skyward sword. So far a link to the past is my favorite (2nd favorite are OOS, OOA, and link's awakening and 3rd being OOT)

[zDallasCowboys008z]

@666blaziken Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game and I loved it, followed by OoA/OoS. I'm surprised that some actually ranks them as one of their favorite games, OoA + OoS are so underrated, I love them. I can't really rank them in order because it'd be too hard for me to, I like them all for different reasons. ALTTP, LA, OoS/OoA, OoT, and MM are the Zelda games I love the most. If I had to choose, I think I'd have to pick OoT as my favorite because of the epic ending.

[666blaziken]

@zDallasCowboys008z I love OOT it is just almost flawless. The only flaw being the hyrule field being too... bland. So I put those other games (now I put wind waker ever so slightly above it because of all the awesome islands) It was the 2nd LOZ game I had. The thing I love about OOS and OOa is the uniqueness of them being linked without the use of a game link (passwords) Did you ever beat gannon in one of those game yet?

[zDallasCowboys008z]

@666blaziken I agree, Hyrule Field should have became much more dangerous (or at least changed..) when you come back to it 7 years later. I haven't really played much of WW tbh, so I don't know much about it except there's a lot of sea areas and it takes place after OoT/MM lol. I never knew Ganon existed in OoA/OoS as a kid, but I came back to the game years later and played them in Linked game. Twinrova and Ganon were more difficult in OoA due to having the seed shooter and lvl 1 roc's feather.

[CinemaBizarre27]

Where did you find this song?! I've been looking everywhere! I can't find it on the sites with the soundtracks or anything! If you could send it to me I'd give you my e-mail. I love this song soooo much!

[VindictiveBeats]

Legendary. The old gen games should never be forgotten. Not only do they have the best soundtracks/plot, they inspired us, they pushed us to try daring things in the industry. Today, games are just remakes of older versions with updated graphics. What happened to trying new things? The fear of not making a huge profit. Bring it back on track! If you want to remake something, make it Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! The most influential game ever released. Show these ignorant kids how we played!

[chelseaman94]

@VindictiveBeats They are remaking Ocarina Of Time for the 3DS apparently. If they are that is awesome.

[VindictiveBeats]

@chelseaman94 Haha, I meant a studio that won't pull another Other M assortment of destruction.

[toyaforever]

@VindictiveBeats

but they are making a remake on the 3DS!!

[XoryGin]

Poor kids they are young now in this generation of games.... they'll never understand the wonderfull real meaning of games... they know only "better better better" but all "old gen.players" know games should be funny and have a good story, and not only a good graphic... i love this song and this game *-*

[papas895]

@XoryGin yes you're right. story first, then graphics.

[doomfire675]

this song makes me cry so much this was my friends favorite song he died recently he was murderd shot 3 times while he was at the park listening to this song

[D4RK809]

How many bpm is it played at?

[mariozeldalost]

I'm playing this game right now :D

[jeremydragoncaller]

The only remix that really captures the essence of the original song. Good job.

[MrAvalerin]

The 8 bit times were a magical time

[Yobreaddude2010]

This is beautifull.

[dudelvup]

This game was epic. Thank you for the upload

[MissJosephinie]

Link´s holding the flower that Marin had in her hair :(

[CALAMARIVOLANTI]

@MissJosephinie that makes it so sad and at the same time so meaningful! this was my first game and this song will be in my heart forever!

[lordpilot]

This beats techno, this beats metal, this beats pop, this beats MUSIC. This is Magic!

And R.I.P. Jason .

[XFanmarX]

The picture is real sad... I feel sorry for everyone on that island... dream thing, but mostly for her.

She was the one who was singing this song, after all.

[Darkuaza106]

5 peoples are gay

[14sweettooth]

@Darkuaza106 dude, no

[dragnfly220]

@Darkuaza106 yo bro, im gay XD and i love this song lol

[kallinemartins]

I've saw the first coment in the page, and my best friend had just died:)

Gosh, I'm crying, this song is helping me a lot...!

[NoName943210]

i love this song <3...i just don't know why, but everytime i hear this song it makes me cry and i feel like somethink very important is missing in me. maybe it's just that little girl with a gameboy in her hands listening to this song in the garden while her sister,mum and dad are laughing with her....yeah childhood was so easy and peaceful....

[HerrDoktorel]

Ah, the 'Like' button cannot be hit enough times. I'm going to go write a poem for my lady now, it's her birthday today. This song just does it to me.

[GardeBlaze]

I like the picture.

[m4k3v3ll1]

This Bring's the Triforce in me, Alive!

this game was the best ever, than i bough oracle of Ages and ocarina of time.

I will never forget this!

[mik32120]

Going to learn that song on my piano, just for my lovely grandmother. :)

[mik32120]

And by the way.... Who the hell are the 5 fucktards, who disliked this video?!

[Ranachtaelcha]

The song fits well with the picture. We feel sadness or nostalgia...

[robloxfan459]

i hate to say this, but the song is like an octave to low...oawsome song though.

[lovley42197]

this song sounds like another zelda song buyt i forgot it...........=(

[ZatchBellFan123]

This game is, in my opinion, the best in the series. It's songs are so touching, especially this one, and the story also helps create an impact on the player. 5 stars just for uploading this, dude.

[Deku9Stickan]

It's so sad and so beautiful at the same time... I LOVE IT XD

[AntiBollywood]

This cold be the staff song at the end of the Wii Remake!

[Callum1294]

I'm lucky by the fact that my older bro's got this game whe i was younger so i've been able to play it early on and even though theres all these kl xbox and ps3 and wii games out know with amazing graphics and things to do, this game is always gonna be the thing that started my love of gaming =)

[dorseywells]

This song reminds me of my only true love, I miss her so much. T~T Its all my fault I should have never, I broke my love heart. :'( I'm so sorry Amber! Crying! I'm so sorry I wish I can make things right, I miss my only love. I'll do anything to get you back!! DX Crying! Amber Jones!!! I love you!!! DX Your my only princess in this world! Why did I do that? :'( Crying! T~T I love you Amber Please forgive me? :'(

[xxxlink14xxx]

@dorseywells I read it like u asked me DGT sounds like somthin really big went down need someone to talk to Im happy to lend an earV_V

[Td260]

say what you will about the other games, and their music, but this always gets me.

[LittleMarin]

Please, don't ever forget me....if you do, I'll never forgive you...

[madapocket]

The picture and song made me sad. Beutiful

[XxMWllxX]

Trying to wake the windfish?

i love it ever since 1993 i played Links Awakening 9 times my sister and my brother

likes this song and gives me a dream on mysterious island

[OmegaScales]

In MM, only the title of the song is the same. The song itself is different.

[ThirdEyeOfOuroborus]

This is so beautiful and epic, The best vido game song of all time in my opinion. Best game of all time too. Picked it up on the original gameboy when i was like 7. Changed my life, been a Zelda addict ever since. LINK FTW!

[meeshter24]

Did they ever make an official orchestrated version of this song?

[freekjuh123]

strange...

Its the Legend Of Zelda, but you dont even see Princess Zelda in the entire game....

[SonicSilverSS]

In MM you only see her in a flashback, correct?

[virgil592]

I want this pic, but I cant find it in adellacosplays gallery

[virgil592]

shes singing with seagulls now Link

[alexketron1]

it's a good song....but with all of the pther legend of zelda songs you just don't know which one you like best....it's just too hard.

[siegris2]

I love this song, just how beautiful it is

[NeatStuff4iTouch]

makes me want to cry

[PivitalProductions]

>.> its an ok song. I mean some zelda songs are OVERRATED.... Seriously.

[Strikercloud]

@PivitalProductions

h8 j00

[em0andl33t]

Liar.

[PivitalProductions]

NOOOOOOO......... alot of them are overrated -.- look i have my taste in music and you have yours so back off.

This is the only zelda where you end up feeling like the bad guy. It's pretty surreal. I actually waited a few minu
