Best VGM 352 - Zelda : Twilight Princess - Celestia (City in the Sky)

[TheLoyalRainbowDash]

PRINCESS CELESTIA? :3

[marblejester]

Dear Princess...

[MrZangetsu468]

This belongs in Metroid Prime or Majora's mask, it's a tad creepy even for TP.

[Dunsay]

@MrZangetsu468 I disagree. It reminds me a bit of the Forrest Temple in OoT.

[IamConar]

@Dunsay

yeah man I know what you mean, I can kinda hear the forest temple from OoT in this.

it's got the creepy sound that the forest temple does but in the Sky xD love it :)

[krazykats2223]

I get scared to death every time an Ooccoo voice pops in.

[ragnaroktomorro]

This dungeon was hard until i got the double clawshot. Then I wished I had a double clawshot in real life.

[austinthebookworm5]

I actually like the dungeon 

[TheKaradom]

Not the same without those annoying Oocoos.

[Altar360]

One of my favorite dungeons. Ever since I was a kid, I had a fascination with cities in the skies. Yes, this makes Myazaki's Castle in the Sky one of my favorites

[xade76]

@Altar360

I take it you're also looking forward to BioShock Infinite? :p

[Altar360]

@xade76 odly enough I've never played any of the previous Bioshocks... so no, aside from the amazing setting, I'm not interested in Bioshock Infinite

[annebennington]

i really liked this dungeon

[stephanlmao]

skyloft!

[TheMegalicious87]

this dungeon creeps me the heck out, but i keep listening to the music!!! why?! XD

[mamamuas]

Forest Temple Lite.

[Hujublego]

I love Twilight Princess. This dungeon was awesome, and so is the music. It's almost creepy in a way.

[imraw17]

SEE! This game does have memorable music. I really liked it for what it brought to the table and they can just master the gameplay for Skyward Sword.

[kishire6murcielago]

i always thought that voice chattering parts at like :23 were the ooccoo. haha good times.

[ericmarshall19]

... this song got annoying after 2 minutes...

[quagmath]

This song is really pretty, and I love the beautiful ambience of it.

But let's face it, Oocca give me nightmares and I will never rationally accept it.

[XxPhoenixHarpyexX2]

isnt there any extended ost  of this?

+1

[atreyu179]

I can understand why people hate this song in the game: there's not really a whole lot to it. It's maybe a 1:15 loop or so, which is great in a casual iphone game, perhaps, but not in a long dungeon where you're being forced to listen to the same short loop over and over again. On top of that, I think it also has to do with the fact that the main melody is so high pitched.

I personally like this song a lot in small doses because of its eerie nature. But again, I understand why people hate it.

[1990maverickhunter]

It took me a couple of days to beat the dungeon, but this song got stuck in my mind for a long time. It's a good theme, but, whenever I hear it, I remember the headache....

[RayLedgend]

I never got this far. It was around this part of the game where I finally gave up. I lent Twilight Princess to a friend of mine, and haven't regretted the decision at all >.>

[MilanWraith]

it really sounds like the forest temple in ocarina of time (--> watch?v=lb88VsHVDbw)

actually, i'm of the opinion that the older dungeon soundtracks are better.

simply because they are longer and doesn't loop so fast.

[hawkssuns08]

Such a unique dungeon and music too. Probably my 2nd fav dungeon just below the ice dungeon.

[imraw17]

I really didn't have a problem with TP...i guess its not as revolutionary but the style is....and this music is soo good..really enjoyed this dungeon too.

[xM3F]

lol pretty trippy

[Ganall]

Those bird people are probably some of the creepiest things I've ever seen in a video game. THOSE EYES!

[BCt0xiN]

Any WoW fans out there? The Skywall in Cataclysm is totally reminding me of City in the Sky.

This music will be epic.

[NintendoStarWing]

My least favorite level...

Sorry, but i hated it.

[Snaggbash2000]

Makes me think of Mass Effect :)

[MasterLink27]

@plasmix yeah its like the less creepy version of oot forest temple o.o

[coollein]

I actually liked the dungeon music, cause all of them had an nice ground music plus some weird noices. Lakebed Temple could get you crazy with it's soundtrack

[MrAgnost]

love it

[redwaller66]

Never played a n64 game, but this sounds like a good atmospheric peice for a foggy, mysterious realm in another dimension.

[GradGamer]

This music is beautiful............... too bad this was my least favorite dungeon in the entire game!!!

[plasmix]

Hey this reminds me of OoT's Forest Temple music.

[starfoxhero]

@plasmix

crap it does! 0_o

[NessDark]

@plasmix yeah, its like its TP version

[TheInunah]

I thought this dungeon was a pain the ass, but in all I liked it... It's kind of surreal, seeing such a dungeon but knowing that it's home to the Oocca, you know? When I hear this song I'm suddenly taken back to the big main chamber with all the little Oocca sitting around, where you can pick them up and glide along with them as if they were Cucco or something.... It's actually just so neat.... The part where we were really high in the air makes me dizzy thinking about it though. :P

[Janglez311]

This is one of the most creepiest songs i have ever heard, great job Koji Kondo

[Ashadow700]

geeeze... this song is kinda scary... strange that I never thought about that when I played the game

[Axios9]

when I have done this dungeon, I stopped the sound !

[sasukegir66]

ahhhhh strange and bizzar just how like my games

[MaxReboEpic]

This freaks me out. :/ *hides from Oocca*

[123nizze]

the weird sounds that start at 0:20 kinda reminds me of the annoying little black monsters from the forsaken fortress in TWW that just kept spawning and spawning :P

creepy song :S

[TerraPlay]

NOOOO!!

I hate this Track for ever! Its so damn epic and bad -.- I must hear it for 2 weeks!!!

[Phebie923]

man this level pissed me off when I got the master key, but I forgot to turn off the fan

[jullila]

this sounds like resident evil 1,2 soundtrack to me :P. this is scary :S

[Ashenge]

I'm fully convinced there's a strange peacock-like bird sitting on wind chimes and cooing every now and then.

...

What, you don't hear it?

[Goldsac]

I like this, and imagine it only gets better when exploring the visual environment it accompanies

[mouse264]

@Goldsac Haha, it really is. You ought to get this game, it's amazing.

You're in a floating, kind of crumbling-looking medieval city, thousands of feet above the ground...

[TellCosy]

I don't think it's bad at all, considering the inhabitants of the temple. I think it portrays them quite well, actually.

[Mukasii]

great track :) but sounds a bit of weird

[bushwhacker2k]

Lol, agreed. Sounds like weird people are making "Oo" sounds >_>

[Sidious66]

i wasn't a huge fan of this track, it's kind of annoying actually.

[atreyu179]

Sidious66, I sort of half way agree with you. I LOVED this track when I first heard it because it was creepy, yet relaxing. But...I think it was a bad idea for the composer to make the song's loop so short considering you had to hear the song throughout an entire level. Still, I do enjoy hearing this one from time to time.

[KoRRupTKiDD95]

sort of annoying a lil bit too yet it seems more heavenly celestial, hence the temple. i very slightly consider it creepy in a way. i forgot were there any inhabitants of the city.?? and yeah it seems more of a (we are in heaven to settle down) sort a thing excuse me if yu arent christian

[Amarihuanao]

This theme scares me as hell.

[kduf10]

this is very similar to the forest temple theme from OoT

[NationOfMasturbation]

not a chance, the forest temple theme on oot is the best temple theme on a zelda game

[kduf10]

no, not in quality, but in style. this song is trying to emulate the forest temple theme. i agree the forest temple theme is much better

[NationOfMasturbation]

aaah, okay :)

[Bakuryukun]

It reminds me of Marathon for some reason.

[Th3Skull3r]

TP's dungeons were lacking when compared to OoT :( But the music was outstanding like always. This is certainly a game to remember

[ZeroOmnislash]

agreed you can't even compare MMs Levels to TPs. IMO TP was the worse in the series*

*For those of you who put the CDI games in that category I must apologize as I have not yet played them though we at least know that they are much much more humorous then TP

[Th3Skull3r]

ehh.... TP was not the worst in the series... its MUCH better than the NES original and the game boy ones. TP is a great game, but it just doesn't match OoT. I personally liked it better than MM, but that doesn't mean it's a better game.

[ZeroOmnislash]

MM is actually my favorite tied with the original.

I have no Idea why you liked TP or why anyone does. It's the single most disappointing game I've ever played. I'd rather play pretty much any game over it honestly.

[assgoblin2damax]

Twilight Princess isn't my favorite Zelda game either. I might have liked it more if I played it before I played Okami and Alundra but I played it after. Those two games are on equal footing with and in some respects even surpass the best games of the Zelda series. I actually think most of my personal disappointment came from that reason.

[eishikibahamut]

The original zelda is one of my favorites. I have to agree with Zero on this. TP shouldn't even be compared to other Zelda games. If you look at it as a stand alone adventure game it's pretty good I suppose.

[boodist32]

this song reminds me so much of the forest temples song in OOT

[staggy16]

it does sound like that.

[Giratina87]

This level was hard for me. I liked the level as it had a good challenge to it. When looking for that final swith I was like "OMG where is it!?" But I enjoyed the boss the most

[luco0007]

I HATED this level. Easily the worst Zelda level in existence. Horribly flawed design. How many of you could SEE that final switch but spent hours trying to figure out how to get to it?

Took me two hours... I was THIS CLOSE to using a strategy guide.

[Weltall8000]

I agree with the horribly flawed level design, however I liked the idea of having a goal "so close, yet so far away". I do not agree on the point of (if you are) holding the switch being seen but not accessible early on, as part of the reason why the level wasn't a good one.

[coooliox27]

well, it wasn't THAT bad. The whole "finding something at the beginning of a dungeon but not using it till the very end" is used quite a bit in Zelda.

A worse dungeon in my opinion is the Temple of Time, for the exact opposite reason. It was so freakin easy. Took me 25-30 minutes to beat.

But anyway, this song is great, provides a perfect ambience for the level.

[jakab11]

my least favorite dungeon of all time is the water temple from Oot. Don't get me wrong it was a well made dungeon, but I got lost in there and confused. When I finally figured it out though, I felt like an idiot

[Tkpyrokid]

you are mistaken my friend, the water temple is the BEST dungeon on Oot. Nothing beats bragging to your friends when u beat it w/out the guide.

[eishikibahamut]

My least favorites were Temple of Time in TP which was really freaking linear and the Sky Temple. Sure dual grappling hooks are cool, but the build up for the Sky Temple was so overwhelming for me that there was no way it would meet my expectations. It didn't even have Ritos! I was so pumped to see them with the new graphics, but Instead I was greated to retarded chickens WTH.

The Spinner in the Desert level was awesome though. to bad it is never used after except for a few moments at the end

[Tkpyrokid]

I actually like TP alot i dont understand why so many people dont like it. other than that i thought the sky temple was pretty awesome especially the bad ass dragon fight at the end. Rain, swords, and a Dragon... need i say more.

[Th3Skull3r]

I LOVED the spinner. It's nice to see the Zelda team keep coming up with neat items. The first half of that boss fight was pure gold.

The sky temple ended up being kinda annoying. Although I personally find the dual hookshot's to be my favorite item(s) in the zelda game series. It has this feel to it.

Zero, I find it impossible to believe that you can't find ONE game less enjoyable than TP. You mean you would rather play Superman 64 or Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde than Zelda TP?

[eishikibahamut]

The dual hookshot was one of the few items that was actually neccessary for future levels beyond the temple you find it in.

I remember I got stuck at the last temple because of the torch you had to put out with the boomerang, but since I hadn't used it since the first temple it took me forever to figure out.

I think I onlt died twice in the game. The first time I drowned on perpose to see what happens and the second was against Zelda because reflecting fire balls with the wii control suck

[kfgiklfnunlsdfklo]

I stoped playin' the game cuz of that...after one of my friends got the game I felt the want to play and found the switch...I got so pissed tough...

[luvtehcomix]

those voices on the sides are creeping the hell outta me!

[ManfredMitchum]

this music is really nice--etheral, ambient....mystic and almost angelic in a sense.

too bad this dungeon was so fuckin' annoying.

[Imdeadblind]

Agreed 100 %.

[hotcarl84]

well said

[balltavorb]

@ManfredMitchum you know what was more annoying than this dungeon? getting to it. Fuck you broken Dominion Rod!

[ZShakibGO]

At first this was annoying to me... now idk it sounds good... XD

[Reyllyoc]

City in the sky (Zelda Twilight Princess) is made from thoughts of Sky Temple (Zelda Minish Cap)

[strugglepoo]

I love this tune. One of my favourites from the game. It has such a haunting atmosphere to it that presents both the sky & dungeon aspect well. I loved the dungeon itself as well. So fun. I gotta play this game again.

[wadlet]

Good game. I liked the beginning, but it started to get stale with endless dungeons after dungeons.

[NOSFERATUalu]

why on EARTH DID YOU PICK THIS ''SONG''

its horrible !!! =[!!! srsly!

[luco0007]

I am inclined to agree.

[mecasly2music]

this game is awful

[Meenners]

Awesomely creepy. The game was so so. Never had gave me a reason to play it again. Unlike, Link to the Past and Link's Awakening lol.

[Mekuso8]

I love this "music". So awesome.

Didn't like TP all that much though... I enjoyed it the first time playing through, but that was it. tWW will always be superior.

[Sephiko]

The Ice dungeon was my fave in the game, but the best boss battle was against Stallord.

[LinkTetraWW]

Awesome choice! Before now I really did not think much of this tune. I had never thought it was bad, i just focused on the temple. But after really listening and reading some of these comments i like this song a good bit now.

[marluxiaman]

This song always freaked the shit out of me o.o A lot of this stage including the Oocoo seemed to have some artistic base on M.C. Escher

[QuikquikMcSliq]

This is easily the best song in the most original entry in the Zelda series. I just love how that woodwind sound (00:09-00:11) and owl noises *perfectly* complement the music, it will make sure I never get sick of the song very quickly and certainly won't erode at my sanity. Great pick for one the Best VGMs of all time.

[KeeSomething]

I'm surprised about this song being on the list. Even not being a fan of Twilight Princess, I do like some tracks from the soundtrack, but this one just gives me a headache.

And before anyone tells me not to listen to SupraDarky if the songs bothers me, I want to say "chill out." I usually always enjoy his VGM list, but I just wanted to express my surprise in seeing this song on his list.

[SupraDarky]

It's alright! I'm pretty sure it's impossible for a song to be liked by everyone. :P For me, this ambient piece stood out when I listened to the OST again simply because I associate it with the dungeon, which, unlike many people, I think was the high point of the game!

[GigaGabo]

@SupraDarky I loved this song, but the dungeon was a pain in the ass. The music was pretty much the only thing that kept me going.

[calpoop]

@SupraDarky yeah this was definitely my favorite dungeon...the atmosphere was so open and awesome

[MimigaJoe]

@SupraDarky Intentional pun? :P

[Gohauld]

@SupraDarky amen darky! this dungeon (including its final boss) really were the high point of the game. THEY FINALLY MANAGED TO CREATE A GOOD DRAGON!!!

[orven1995]

@SupraDarky I loved this dungeon too

[CleverDjembe]

I feel ya.

But see, this is one of those pieces that evokes a certain atmosphere, not one which you listen to and appreciate in the same way as traditional tonal music with typical arangement of rhythm, melody and harmony.

But just for breaking the mold, I give this 5 stars :)

[WumboWarrior]

@KeeSomething I was never a big fan of this one either... :/

[cryosynthe]

@KeeSomething I thought this temple was amazing. A zelda temple without a floor. Shigeru Miyamoto is a genius.

[TheTKC]

@KeeSomething I'm surprised that you don't like Twilight Princess :S

[hobbitgoblin]

@KeeSomething I haven't played the game but I actually thought this sounded different enough that I checked what song was playing; it may give you a headache but it definitely has a different feel from a lot of songs :P

[VGKing]

Brings back memories of frustration, trying to figure out how to progress through the damn dungeon. Good thing there were plenty of half aborted human/bird embryo things around for me to take my frustration out on.

[metallic219]

lol brings back memories, but not good ones!!! this level was hard rofl.

[FGK1990]

I hate this level even though i finished the game twice. The music isn't the best but it fits this annoying dungeon

[GAMERNOW]

I remember this.. By the gods was I glad when I reached the boss.

[Babybahamut]

This one has vibes of Forest Temple with that floaty chimey sound.

[BramblesintheBreeze]

Oh god, this song brings me nightmares about how much i failed up there.

[goondave]

amen

[nintendrastic]

man, I really don't like that dungeon!

The boss was kick ass though!

[FlamingRuby]

Happy 2009 to you.

[SupraDarky]

Oh yes, Happy New Year to everyone!

[FlamingRuby]

Thank you--wonder what tracks will be added to the list this year

[saurfan]

lol finally some more zelda music

[SupraDarky]

Some ambient for a change! Also thanks to everyone, I've hit 3k+ subscribers which is something I have a hard time realising.
