Best VGM 894 - Zelda : Wind Waker - Staff Roll

[SuperZora1000]

You just got Staff Roll'd

[BallOfWrecking]

You should have put this as 001 just so more people would watch it.

[KingSymphonia]

I have heard thousands of fantastic video game soundtracks in my gaming life, and none can capture my heart the way Zelda music does. It nearly brings a tear to my eye listening to this. I have to thank everyone involved with Zelda and it's music. Thank you for all the great gaming memories and I can't wait for more!

[KingSymphonia]

Oh man! Koji Kondo really gets to me.

[PhantomBowser16]

One day I will punch the person who pressed the dislike person.

[TheColditz]

@SlayerxLeo354 Watch your FUCKING language! :>

[lilxleftee]

Wind Waker is not my favorite Zelda game, but this is by far one of the best songs that emerges you into its vast oceanic world. I really feel like I'm in this world.. and it's beautiful.

[DynamicDeclan]

I know I have to save Hyrule just let listen to the music a little longer

[sk8er4ever0101]

Anyone remember the uproar about the cel shaded graphics?

ya me neither, guess they shut up after playing the game.

[TheMasterOfWeapon]

@sk8er4ever0101 Someone got really mad at me for saying the Wind Waker was my favorite Zelda game lol.

[YoshiRxs97]

You see that dislike button? Nope, it's just Chuck Testa, with another pointless object that once served a purpose, but is now a placeholder.

[KrimsonMuz]

WW had some awesome music and I actually really liked the cell shaded environments I just wasn't a huge fan of the character models.

[Zwiki22]

I never even beat Wind Waker and this song gives me chills. I love it!

[GradGamer]

I just realized that someone disliked this video. It's ok though because it was obviously a mistake.

[00RDB00]

staff roll'd

[GradGamer]

Pretty much every song from this game should be on this list.

[mooper11]

You should change the title to Best VGM Ever

[M1n1k0n]

This song is one of the most incredible of any game OST ever. It's so happy and yet it has a touch of melancholy. So beautiful.

[austinthebookworm5]

The pirate theme was such a brilliant idea :)

[TheMovieCreator]

I can't stop thinking about Ireland when I hear this tune. I guess we all know where they got the inspiration from, and it's not the first time ("Epona" is the horse-god of irish mythology).

[gunslingerfry]

So bizarre. Just finished the chuggaconroy let's play of Wind Waker last night. He was saying how much he loved this tune.

[LinkMarioSamus]

@chikimonkey2456 I know, the people who say that this is a bad game are...yeah. This is my 2nd favorite Zelda, only being beaten out by A Link to the Past, and it's my 10th favorite game.

I've only played through it once, however, and that was over two years ago. Plus I'm trying to get away from Nintendo now to become a Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid fan. Am I an entire decade late to the action?

[DynamicDeclan]

i will kill the person who disliked this

[spanio]

@DynamicDeclan You'd have to be dead not to enjoy this game. Dead inside.

[darek4488]

@DynamicDeclan Let me know as soon as you succeed.

[dragoonx71]

@DynamicDeclan take a light arrow with you

[ElleRoni]

@DynamicDeclan With a sword RIGHT IN THE FACE, one should hope!

[runningatfullspeed]

@DynamicDeclan You can't kill that person, they are already dead inside

[balltavorb]

definately my favorite song from this game, aside from the Molgera battle that is xD

[gamesbond0024]

BEST.VGM.EVAR!

[ofakar]

@chikimonkey2456 yes! The whole comic style really creates that special atmosphere I've never seen since. And that place where you were supposed to climb tens of levels downwards is the peak of the atmosphere imo.

[luiekang]

you see Wind Waker Unplugged (FreddeGredde) in the "Suggestions" area? click it, watch it, and have a wonderful day :D

[LegendiaMaster]

Bless you for putting this up! This is indeed my favorite and the only song that can make me tear from its sheer beauty! Thank you.

[Cawesome69]

3:00 so thats where Waka's theme came from

[Glyph255]

I like the small tribute to Ocarina of Time. I like tributes to songs remixed in other songs period. That new music, completely unheard beforehand with a dash here and there of the older songs playing throughout. Mostly I like the sense of nostalgia that comes with it.

[1990maverickhunter]

This game was my Christmas gift in 2003. And I beat it before the new year!

[GeneralGeneric]

Ha ha, check out these people arguing about a video game. They're just toys, you morons!

[krazykillerhippo]

@GeneralGeneric video games a a media like tv or movies 

[ZaksTrance]

hey it's Makar!

[dx619hey]

How did the King of Red Lions get so tiny?

[dasDoughnut]

Loved the game(damn i lose) loved the music. Would love to see more games like it.

[TheDRUNKCANADIAN]

Still haven't finished this game...been on my to do list for a looooonnnggg time...just hate the graphic style so much

[Standard420247]

@TheDRUNKCANADIAN You don't deserve to play it if that is your excuse for not finishing it.

[VillingDragon]

@Standard420247 agree

[TheDRUNKCANADIAN]

@Standard420247 Who are you to say what I do and do not deserve. Fact of the matter is they took a childish artstyle, and many share my opinion on that part of the game. Wasn't a very dark game.

[Standard420247]

@TheDRUNKCANADIAN Who are you to say whether the game "isn't a dark game" when you have not even completed it. That's like saying you dislike carrots without ever eating them. Actually had one of the best story lines in the entire zelda series... far better than TP and not many share your opinion if they completed the game itself first before jumping the gun because "they didn't like the cel shading look".

TP may have looked cool being more "mature" but the story was absolute 0 effort ass

[TheDRUNKCANADIAN]

@Standard420247 I played the game far enough, (beyond freeing sis, going underwater sea temple with all the Zelda BS, and illogical stupidity)....and no I think the majority think Windwaker wasn't too good...the sales alone relative to others should be proof enough, so stop thinking you are entitled to speak for everyone (I use statistics, there is a difference). I didn't like it (my opinion), shame you are so immature you can't realize that, this game was made for you child. I'm done here.

[Standard420247]

@TheDRUNKCANADIAN Glad you're done, because you're wrong and a moron. What statistics are you basing this on? You base your "hatred" for a video game because of its graphics.... That is beyond retarded.

You do know SS is cell shaded right.

[CMSonYT]

absolutely beautiful but are you ever going to bring us awesome classical music again?

[totlyepic]

Every time I think about replaying this game, I remember the Triforce shard hunt :/.

[FreeZe6422]

@totlyepic Yeah, that's where I quit. It's so boring. I played the games around 10 times, but only finished it 4 times.

[GradGamer]

Wasn't this also like the title theme? I'd consider it that over credit music.

[sherbetstorm]

@GradGamer I believe this is an (epic) extension of the title music, only appearing during the games ending staff roll.

[GamePretzel]

about time this got on here

[Supermariofan14]

When you understand the symbolism in the Wind Waker you love it even more.

[Imdeadblind]

What a winner this game was.

[Itsquinnlollz]

friggin loved this game

[ElleRoni]

I love the shit out of this. It´s full of fun, warmth and LIFE.

[TwistedNsanity]

Must find out if my cousin is willing to part with copy.

[whit52489]

everyone should check out the video wind waker unplugged. Epic

[riceking17]

I know everybody loves Oot but this is actually my favorite Zelda game I loved everything about this game sadly I no longer own..

[Mooglecito]

Undoubtely, the perfect song to end the perfect game.

Nothing ever will surpass Wind Waker's grandeur.

[PrinceDoebler]

You should have included the "epilogue" music. That one has an epic ending.

[mouse264]

Excellent pick! I played this game through just a couple years ago for the first time and it's nostalgic anyways :D

[MountainWolf100]

oh i remember playing this for the first time i did not care about the graphics at the time just the story and it was a good story . good times on the Game Cube

[PeteMcMullen]

Great pick. I always found two WW themes very memorable: the mini-boss theme and especially the Molgera theme. They managed to capture the exciting feel of battle, but by using instruments you won't often find in songs that try to create that same feeling. Yet it works so well.

[JominatorXS]

Wonderful :-D

[MeTRoD]

Have you tried the AR Games on the 3DS? The Wind Waker Link looks amazing, so Ninendo could probably do a 3DS version of Wind Waker.

[Mosufo]

I love Wind Waker so much ! So many memories!

[KiwiStalome]

dat nostalgia

[LinkTetraWW]

Windfall, Dragon Roost, The Great Sea, Outset Island, and now the ending credits. I got no idea what SupraDarky will pick next, any thoughts?

[LavosXII]

This is my favorite one.

[Koopsas]

:D

[SireStefan]

I lost my copy of the wind waker, I'm so sad, I've been really wanting to play it lately, too. T.T

The boat and the open waters provided me with an even bigger sense of freedom that the other Zeldas did.

[MyassWins]

I know many people didn't like this game but it is my favorite Zelda game. Yeah the boat bit is kinda annoying but its not any worse than running long distances.

[hector8927]

This game was SO FUN!

[electricmastro]

I actually didn't pay alot of attention to this song the first time I beat this game because of the floating bubble heads, especially where Princess Peach's (the rich daughter) face actually showed itself 3 times on the same screen at one point. Great song and game overall.

[Trodo53]

Yes...this is certainly my favorite credits song ever. This is one of the most well-crafted tracks in the world. One of your best uploads.

[Brainstrain91]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AH! Favorite Zelda ever.

[DaManoMano]

holy shit, i just downloaded this song yesterday and today it appears on your list. the same thing happened with tornado man, tallon overworld, potential for anything...

are you me?

[Lazera]

It's stupid how so many people automatically hated this game all because its graphical style... "Graphics suck so this game sucks too!!"

Despite the graphics, this game caught my interest and in the end, it was a very fun game to play. Despite it being a very fun game, the only real negative I'd have to say is the tedious amount of time it took to reclaim the Triforce fragments: making sure you had the rupees, grabbing the maps, looking at every spot for them, deciphering them, finding them.

[danetucker]

You can never go wrong with Zelda music.

HEY! You're almost to 900! Sweet.

[MyKneesocks]

beating the game to hear this song was definitely worth it = w =

good game with a wonderful soundtrack..

I should go replay wind waker...

[RazzWasThere]

great memories.

[broncovols]

This song always gives me goose bumps. Good thing WW is arguably the easiest console Zelda game because getting to these credits is something any VGM enthusiast needs to do at least once.

[pikminlover72]

I love your list, but I think you're missing one theme from this game: Molgera's theme. That was epic.

[Krakenzeus]

@pikminlover72 chikachikachikachikachikachika­chikachikachikachikachika

[ixekun]

How ironic :P And I had just listened to the FreddeGredde version of this song...

[Arc13]

YES! Wind Waker Staff Roll easily best song in the game, best staff roll in the series, and dammit it all Medli is freaking adorable on the cover!!!! Wish we could've gotten more out of her but I digress, 2nd favorite Zelda of all(though it hardly matters since they're all so good)and I feel that I should replay this when I get the chance.

[SupersonicMudkip]

"Wind Waker Unplugged" check it out, beautifully creative take on this song

[CalculusKid]

"Staff Roll" = "Credits", I guess? I learned something today.

Also, this is my favorite Zelda game of all time. People always complain about the sailing, but I could spend days at a time exploring each of those little squares of ocean.

[EXEGUNSO]

Ocarina was good but wind waker had a speacial charm to it that made it feel like more of an adventure than ocarina

[ClankytheGorn]

One word. EPIC. People were disapointed at first because of the "cartoon graphics". I agree but this game was one of the best.

[HcOtaku1337]

You finally put this on here :]

I've been waiting for it.

I can't explain how I feel about this game and song.

[dx619hey]

Lame! They used the opening music in the first minute. Nintendo's so unoriginal. If they were really badass, they would incorporate some electric guitars, or some dubstep. DUBSTEP!

[ninds7]

@dx619hey they use the opening music in the ending music because its the theme of the game

most GOOD games do that

nintendo is original (DS, Wii, 3DS, the list goes on) and their music is brilliant

electric guitars and dubstep would not suit the game at all

have you even played this game?

[dx619hey]

@ninds7 Oh man, I was being completely sarcastic. Oh, that's lame. I totally forgot that that kind of a comment is usually serious and that dumb. I probably should've made it a whole lot more obvious.

But yes, Wind Waker is an amazing game, and this is an amazing credits music. It sends chills down my spine, and it's use of common zelda melodies is executed amazingly and appropriately. I just thought that was going to be the common post, so I thought I'd make a sarcastic joke.

[ninds7]

@dx619hey u were? D:

say ur being sarcastic XD we can never be sure on the internet

sorry i took it the wrong way ^^'

ive had a habit of doing that recently

sorry D:

[dx619hey]

@ninds7 Oh no, it's fine. I didn't fully realize how realistic my comment was. I thought it would be obvious that electric guitar and dubstep would not only be terrible, but dubstep became big only recently. This disregards the fact that people are out there that would actually not take this into consideration though, and be dumb like that.

So thanks for an actual, genuine sorry. That's rare on the internet. I understand though. It's no big deal anyway, just youtube comment nonsense. :)

[AkumaUchitoru]

What, I didn't know about Ocarina of Time! :O Cool! ^^ I'd rather see 3D versions of the old school game boy games, but whatever. :) I was just looking forward to Skyward Sword the whole time. ^^

[barkleylola]

Wind waker for the 3DS anyone?

[ZeroShadowSpark]

@barkleylola that would be epic

[ZeroShadowSpark]

the ending thene to this game is amazing

the first time I beated this I was like I want the sound track to this game

It was that epic

[Newbpwn3r180]

it would have been better if they have actual cutscenes instead of just credits like the other 3D zelda games

[Tkiller7]

i have this song on my i-pod... three of them, actually.

[bregowine]

Didn't get the chance of buying it for my GC... I still regret it

[peanut3423]

Just... beautiful.

[puklop]

Go to a Farmers Market and listen to this while you're there.

[RUSSxT]

amazing

[brodiger]

great music

[Fransinn3]

This reminds me of the time when I was playing the game,

I was always singing the One Piece theme while I was sailing. 8D

[dx619hey]

@Fransinn3 The 4Kids one??

[Fransinn3]

@dx619hey What?! Are you high?! <_<

That theme is the spawn of satan.

I was talking about ''We Are''.

[dx619hey]

@Fransinn3 I was just making sure. I was worried, myself, for your soul.

[cloudpaulo]

I luv this game, and the ost rocks =)

[Manbeast465]

Amazing, this also makes me wanna play this game again. I remember beating the game and watching the bubbles float down as the credits rolled. Like floating memories.....

[jseeker1867]

watch?v=IxAKFlpdcfc&feature=re­lated

[genesisSOC]

I usually replay Wind Waker at the start of every summer. I beat it when it first came out, but now whenever I replay it I always get to the part where you're hunting the Triforce pieces in the sea and it just takes so long and I lose interest and stop playing lol.

[scarletspeed7]

My all time favorite credits music in a video game. No kidding. Wind Waker had such a unique OST... just beautiful.

[LinkTetraWW]

@scarletspeed7 After thing, I have to agree. I love ww's music, of course, but now I also consider this the best ending / credits tune I know of. Really, Zelda games as a whole have some great credits tunes.

[scarletspeed7]

@LinkTetraWW Definitely. It's so amazing how well the three main tunes of this game mesh so well together, that they create such an impressive harmony. I thought that OoT and TP also did a solid job of mixing the tunes together, but no game in the series comes as close to just a perfect symphonic consistency like WW.

[charger619c]

@scarletspeed7 why would anyone think you were kidding?

[geno1082]

@scarletspeed7 Even better than the credit music of ALTTP? That's a bold statement.

[Pander8874]

@scarletspeed7

check out MGS and Shenmue credits - those are my favourites, but this is really good too.

[ShadowMarioMusic]

Supra, do you have a 3DS yet? Or do you plan on getting one this year?

[SupraDarky]

Awesome staff music. Makes me want to play this game again, I haven't since its release. I'm glad we're getting 2 Zelda games this year, OoT 3D and SS.

[VGKing]

@SupraDarky Skyward Sword's coming out this year? I'd say that I should polish off my Wii, but I'm going to use it for both Epic Mickey and Epic Yarn, so that's not much of an issue.

[Iwannaplayssbb]

@SupraDarky

i have a good feeling about SS, i bet it will be this gen's Majora's mask, and IMO majoras mask was better than OoT

[Standard420247]

@SupraDarky Only problem is the Wii is ruining the heritage of the LoZ series. I don't give a damn if it "feel's weird" to people to swing with a remote and see opposite on a screen, simple adjustments to the game can fix that. Link is and always should be LEFT HANDED! By portraying him as a righty it ruins what made link unique.

Some may think thats petty, obviously newer younger gamers that haven't been there from the get go, even the special magazine NP made about the series points it out

[f17coolplane]

@Standard420247 Not to mention Link is Dutch for Left too.

[EldestSauce]

@SupraDarky but it already is 3D D:

[Aikionen]

@EldestSauce HD on the 3DS. I might imagine he meant this.

[MangaPlCTURE]

@SupraDarky Don't forget Links Awakening on 3DS. Not new, but finally no more horrible GB/GBC screen required. And there's also something incoming for the 25th Anniversary of the series.

[FreeZe6422]

@MangaPlCTURE Will there be a Links Awakening in 3D for the 3DS!?

[321cheeseman]

@FreeZe6422

Yes, on the Virtual Console service for the system. It'll be the DX version too, thank goodness.

I expect it will be one of the first games for the 3DS Virtual Console service, which is supposed to launch in May.
