Zelda: Skyward Sword Music - Island in the Sky

[Naruto200Man]

Recycled music from the fishing hole in twilight princess :D

[NatureIsMyBlood]

This song makes me wanna go to sleep.....

* instantly falls asleep*

[MisterM2402]

It's a shame there weren't really that many sky islands :/ Surely the people of Skyloft need more than just a pumpkin bar, a bamboo slicing game and a cannon-blast-into-the-sky game. I know there were the "surface" areas, but I was expecting it to be closer to Wind Waker's The Great Sea - lots of little curiosity islands, all intriguing and interesting and useful in their own way.

[TheBiggamer64]

@MisterM2402 the thing is, The Goddess Hylia lifted the survivors after the war below to the Sky on a single outcropping of earth. So Skyloft is really the only main island that should be up there. 

[MisterM2402]

@TheBiggamer64 Yeah, but I'm sure they could've altered the story a little to accommodate more islands haha. They could easily have said the goddesses lifted survivors from several different villages and put them onto different outcroppings. Or there could have been just one village/set of survivors but several different large chunks of rock; the Skyloftians would have been able to fly their Loftwings over and "colonise" them :P I don't know exactly, but it could have been done.

[TheBiggamer64]

@MisterM2402 lol you should've worked for Nintento thats a brilliant idea.

[MisterM2402]

@TheBiggamer64 Haha, I wish! But thanks all the same ;P

[TheDesignerdogz]

this song made me wanna stay on pumpkin landing

[shumjuna1]

You know I like nintendos strategy cause I mean their worlds are not only colorful but they can be more realistic and deeper than any other game I mean take for example the bamboo island, it makes you feel like your in a sacred bamboo dojo and just calms me so much so COD fans grow some balls and try something new cause the Fps era will last only so long but... ZELDA IS FOREVER!

[StaccatoLegato88]

I hate how my cousin decides whether a game is fun or not depending if he likes the overall graphics. He doesn't like this 'cause it's too bright and colorful and apparently angular. That's coming from the kid who will also play Doom, pretty much the most pixelated game he plays.

[RyusukeAkami]

it's sounds like a fusion between Kakariko Village from TP and Dire Dire Docks from Super Mario 64

[BebopEffect]

Are there any CoD fans out there with the balls to admit Zelda games are fun?

[HighwindIV]

@BebopEffect You are implying that cod fans have balls lol

[zeldafreak701]

Am I the only one that thought the very beginning sounded kind of like Aerith's theme? I didn't want it to =[

[josephhowarth]

there werent really any temples in the sky

[LOZmaster85RB]

@josephhowarth yeah, well the sky was really the "clock town" & the "outset island" of skyward sword

[LadybugsOpin]

@josephhowarth Sky keep

[surriel1]

this is the only reason i land on tiny islands in the game (TRUE) ;D

[julex234]

I usually hear this song when talking to Kina so I can get 50 rupees, so I pretend it's Kina's theme.

[raneanubis]

I love this song. Yeah I agree, how can there only be ONE bloody village in the whole game?? That sucks.

[ChaosChicken200]

@raneanubis Never actually thought of it like that. You're right.

[silverfairy808]

This song kind of reminds me of animal crossing.

[Limelime99Zones]

That guy on Fun Fun Island is creepy.

YAAAHOOOOOOOOIIIII ~

[LittleSheikah]

@Limelime99Zones I thought that clown was a woman... 

[Limelime99Zones]

@LittleSheikah That's one manly woman! xD

[souleater443]

My sister got this game before I did, and she was playing it, and I was sitting there watching her. And she goes, "Hey, did you know there's a pumpkin island in the sky?"

And I'm like, "What. A floating island made of pumpkins?"

And she says, "Yeah, it's called, 'Pumpkin Landing.'"

I didn't believe her.

Then I played the game, and well, fuck me-

There is a floating island in the sky called Pumpkin Landing.

Just leave it to Nintendo to make a sky island of pumpkins...

[SkywardWolf]

I hear some Kakarioko Village from TP...

[XNintendrewX]

How do you get to Beetle's island at night like his sign says? I never found out. :(

[goopie93]

@XNintendrewX you have to get into his air shop and sleep there until night (you will find the bed at the far end of the shop) then you will wake up at his island at night time.

[polarseizure]

Someone please make a paino tutorial for this!

[TwilightWolf004]

Reminds me of LonLon Ranch, so peaceful and farm-like

[777Rowen]

@TwilightWolf004 yeah same here, and I also hear a little of Ordon village. That happy peaceful feeling. <3

[broncovols]

This song is so beautiful. I just always expect to hear it leading up to the chest-opening theme

[283leis]

at the end of the game, does skyloft returns to the surface, into a large crater in the middle of the world?

[IcyFury4]

@283leis no...

[Readytak]

@283leis No, not all of it anyway...

[TheBlackFireX]

LOVE this music! it's so warm and homely. for some reason, this reminds me a little bit of the music in Papuchia Village from spirit tracks. probably just me...

[TheBiggamer64]

Kinda reminds me of Lake Hylia from Twilight Princess

[ComboLeafster]

@TheBiggamer64 In what way...

[TheBiggamer64]

@ComboLeafster its slow and peaceful. Like that other song.  Its not the same but it gives off the same vibe for me

[Diuxid]

I think it would have been nice and relaxing if this song played when you were flying around with your bird.It seems like it fits it really well. None the less Skyward Sword is an amazing game ‎^ᴥ^

[MrDefeatist]

To anyone who has played Baten Kaitos (either game). Listen to some of the island theme pieces, then listen to this. Sound alike, no?

[RichlerKazama]

@MrDefeatist Yes I also noted that! Baten Kaitos: The lost ocean and the eternal wings, was my second game on GameCube, the first one was Wind Waker.

[pinkpearlmermaid1000]

MissRora that was a sokka comment

[Lucariogamer14]

Skyward Sword's graphics (As well's as Wind Waker's) make it look like a kiddie game Said the CoD fans. But I say well I grew up with Cartoons, and Comedy shows for older kids and teens like The Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama had cartoonish graphics as well. So I think of Zelda Wind Waker and Skyward Sword are kinda of like them except it's for all ages. I think People who grew up with Old Disney, Pre-2005 Nickelodeon, and "CARTOON" Network should be thankful that graphics don't really matter

[shiftri]

@Lucariogamer14 You're an idiot if you think it's cartoon graphics, they're supposed to be mosaic styled.

[ComboLeafster]

@shiftri Haha yeah this guy's intentions are good but he's misguided

[KrocketAnimations]

@shiftri More impressionism styled ... but I guess impressionists did kinda use mosaics in a certain way, with the dot/swipe painting ... yeh :p

[ChaosChicken200]

@Lucariogamer14 Well, graphics are the only things CoD-fans can count on when they are defending CoD against their haters.

Really mature...

[harry426]

@Lucariogamer14 "Graphics" and "Art style" are too different things.

[ChaosChicken200]

@harry426 Indeed. SS' graphics have improved a lot, making it a brighter game. However, it is the art style people do not like.

I like it, though.

[Shoop400]

@Lucariogamer14 HUZZAH FOR the Renaissance age of animation!!!!

(the era you talked about)

[JXN01]

@Lucariogamer14 agree!

[OmnipotPrime]

@Lucariogamer14 most people who play COD are kids born after the Golden Age of Video Games.....they don't know what good game really is.....First Person Shooters have Infected the Gaming Community......

[Lucariogamer14]

@OmnipotPrime WHY ARE THE PARENTS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT CALL OF DOODIE!? "On Robotnik's tone" WHHY WHHHY WHHHHHHHY

[OmnipotPrime]

@Lucariogamer14

1. they don't care

2. have to move forward with life not back

[777Rowen]

@Lucariogamer14 I hear ya. Old shows were a lot better back then any way

[TheLastScion1]

@Lucariogamer14 Skyward Sword's graphics are really kind of a fusion of the graphics in The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I think it looks tons better than the The Wind Waker's graphics. Twilight Princess's look was/is a little dull, but it's cool regardless, since it makes it look more realistic.

I don't care if Famitsu gave The Wind Waker a perfect 40/40; screw it to hell. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are the best Zelda games alongside Ocarina of Time.

[MissRora]

If it's an island in the sky, does that make it a SKY-land? Huh? Huh? =D

[marzgirl99]

thank you so much i was looking everywhere for the name of this!

[BugKilledTangerine]

All I think of when I hear this is "YAHOOOOEY!! YEEEESSS?!".

[theRandomCousins67]

@BugKilledTangerine Dohdoh was actually what i called my stepfather (long before this ever came out)

[Imthedgrayman]

This kinda reminds me of kakariko village

[Shadakaa]

Can I just sit here listening to this all day?

'kay thanks. <3

[dwevill123]

Reminds me a bit of the village theme from Final Fantasy

[Thetoastermen558]

tw?

[Shyster44]

0:50

Midna's Theme I hear

[timeparadox888]

Needs more YAHOOOOEY

[TheGoldenMarioBro]

fun fun island heart piece...

[musefan4]

So peaceful and calming :3

[Roogy88]

the best part is playing along with your harp to this song :3

[BlackRaven6695]

Reminds me of Romani Ranch.

[OgnarPliskin]

This would be a great song to play before a final boss.

[stephanlmao]

@OgnarPliskin you mean AFTER a final boss

[OgnarPliskin]

@stephanlmao No, before. Ever heard of the calm before the storm?

[dav666777]

@OgnarPliskin This song isn't the right kind of calm, though. This song inspires relief. Not anticipation.

[pingasluigi25]

Odd, it makes me think of Cianwood City music in pokemon HG/SS

[elmorox35]

its funny when you stab pumpkins because they get stuck on the end of your sword so if you swing your remote as if you were throwing something, it throws the pumpkin off the end of your sword... the people on the surface are probably like "why is it raining pumpkins?" Link smiles

[brettjpw]

@elmorox35 "FEAR THE SHEER POWER OF MY PUMPKIN SWORD."

[Somakun67]

My only complaint with this game (and it's a minor one) is that there aren't many islands to explore in the sky....wouldn't it have been sweet if there were as many islands in ths sky as there were islands in WW's Great Sea?

[shumjuna1]

@Somakun67 Yeah I agree I mean most of the islands are just random pieces of rock an I would love if the were more vilages in the sky

[julex234]

@Somakun67 It would've been great if there were a couple of floating areas the size of some of the surface areas to explore.

[MissRora]

@Somakun67 The reason there aren't as many islands as Wind Waker is because "large, open overworld" was one of the biggest complaints about Twilight Princess. Yay insatiable fanbase!

[Themastercode1235]

@Somakun67 That would be awesome, and thats the only complaint I have too. Like, in WW there was a island in every square of the map, in SS theres fun fun island, beedles island, the lumpy pumkin and then a few dozen random lumps of land with chests on them

[RDV333]

@Somakun67 SS in general feels very streamlined in terms of exploration,which makes its focus on the repetition and backtracking mechanic less effective than Majora's,for example. It is,however,a very polished linear experience,so that has to be commended.

[hyperporygonz24]

@Somakun67 Yes, Master, but it would be a great downfall to have so many islands floating around. I calculate an increase in crashes of about 50%. Please be careful on what you wish for, Master.

[IIHiaGoII]

@Somakun67 yeah man I think so too. I didn't even explore the sky through the game so I could have a "2nd journey" in the end, travelling through the islands. but nintendo disappointed me.

[PaperJay98]

@Somakun67 I think theres almost the same amount of islands in the sky, but they are tiny in comparison to Wind Waker's islands and they dont have any puzzles too.

[fraaaazzle]

@Somakun67 So very true.

[garrettparrish1]

Least favorite part of this video;

2:26

Favorite part;

0:00

[LintuWaterfall]

I hate carrying that tower of pumpkins..... >.<

[Dahlia4fun]

@LintuWaterfall Haha yes the same for me ... ;)

[LustAction]

Bliss? Check.

[XOKyraKexOX]

Love this music! Makes me feel relaxed. I may upload this to my mp3, go into a huge field, lie in the grass and just watch the clouds go by, listening to this peaceful music. :)

[KnightOfJavania]

@XOKyraKexOX For 2 minutes and 26 seconds XD

Then you get back up and walk home :P

[XOKyraKexOX]

@KnightOfJavania Not if I got it on loop XD I can lay there all day.

[EmobagelsRAGE]

Did anyone else immediately think this was going to be Cianwood City from the first 2 seconds?

[LlamasInYourCloset]

@EmobagelsRAGE is that from pokemon gold/silver/crystal/heartgold/­soulsilver??

if i remember correctly there was a city named that in those games.......

if so, then YES!

[EmobagelsRAGE]

@LlamasInYourCloset Yes, it is, haha.

[TacosIncorperated]

AETHER.

'nuff said :3

[Zzzapper1]

Master, there is a 100% chance that this will relieve stress

[crazy4sian]

@Zzzapper1 Ahhhhhhh...

[BlaxxShadow]

First thing that came to my mind was Kakariko Village from Twilight Princess.

[angelfire141]

I go to other islands just to hear this song...so pretty!

[GreatNZ1]

when I first started exporing the sky after finishing the first dungeon I landed on a small island with nothing on it, and then this music started and I just stood there for a few minutes to listen to this music...

[Drenn23]

you should strum the harp while this theme is playing, it's awesome

[modirufa6317]

@Drenn23 It's funny to see link walking while strumming his harp, especially during boss fight.

[MrTatzer]

Is anyone else here immediatley reminded of Animal Crossing?

Jeez, brings back memories - Even though its a completely different game...

[arielabaquiathem]

Very pretty!

[FrancisRave69]

the first notes sounds like zelda's lullaby

[333puggles333]

i think its dumb how you barely fall at all when you call your bird

[PurpleHurple22]

Makes me never want to leave any of the little islands in the sky.

[xdcrushxd]

Me: *presses down button on wii mote* YAY AN ISLAND. *forgot to press the B button to set sailcloth* OH NO! *Link splats on the floor without losing hearts* ... That was funny.

[minecr4ft]

Mp3 download cache = "Punking Landing"

lol, why?

[HamsterZelda]

Why does the first part reminds me of maplestory?

[Keirina]

@HamsterZelda because maplestory has lots of places floating around in clouds :P

[SuperHushPuppy]

@HamsterZelda And I thought I was the only person who still plays maplestory now with a Mercedes. XD

To me sounds new and yet reminds me of something wind waker series.

[polarseizure]

Good to see I wasn't the only one who thought it sounded like Twilight Princess's field.

[boxingame]

it sounds like twilight princess mix with spirit tracks

[FalconFetus8]

The Sky is kinda like Hyrule Field in Twilight Princess:

Devoid of any challenging enemies or real content, but full of wonderful secrets to discover. It's a shame that they show you the location of all the secrets on the map >.< Otherwise, it would have been more fun to explore.

[AquaPersona]

Reminds me of the overworld theme in Chrono Cross... the normal world, not the parallel one.

[TheAvocadoSaysSo]

Did anyone figure out what those holes in the pumpkin patches on Skyloft and the Lumpy Pumpkin were for? They looked like places to plant seedlings like in the Sealed Temple....

[Saphruikan]

@TheAvocadoSaysSo

After you get the Mogma Mitts you can tunnel underneath. I'm pretty sure. . . . I've never tried, but that's probably it.

[TheAvocadoSaysSo]

@Saphruikan No. That's not it. If it were, I wouldn't be asking. That was the first thing I thought too, but you can't burrow in those holes. They look the same as the hole in the Sealed Temple when you plant the Tree of Life seedling. It made me think that, in the past, you could visit Skyloft and plant more seeds there too. That would have been cool.

[Bassonaitor]

@TheAvocadoSaysSo I did! no idea :S

[Aswind108]

It would be awesome if i could wake up to this every morning

[charbok]

@Aswind108 You can! Plenty of apps that turn your computer into an alarm clock. :]

[Yaenipponcover]

I never played Twilight Princess,but I love this one...very relaxing compared to flying theme.

[shadowlink2000000009]

The music in this game beats all the music in the other Zelda games sound quality and everything. Anyone agree?

[TheDarkBeastofLight]

@shadowlink2000000009 only in sound quality and it would be pretty pathetic if it didnt considering this is the first one thats orchestrated...

[shadowlink2000000009]

@TheDarkBeastofLight Ok hope I didn't piss you off or anything.

[MykoolHD]

So is there any chemistry between Kina and Link as there was between Malon and Link?

[fruitsnpies]

@MykoolHD

I dont think so, I mean I haven't finished the game so I'm not sure if Zelda and Link get together in the end or not, but it seems heavily implied that Zelda REALLY likes link and its clearer one the story begins that Link does too. Maybe Kina does, Link has alot of women on him in this game (COUGH the girl at the check in COUGH)

[MykoolHD]

<3 this.

[Valoe7]

The beginning reminds me a bit of Animal Crossing. ; - ;

[UVERwolf]

@Valoe7 It reminds me Animal Crossing too! xD

[TheInsaneWatchmaker]

@Valoe7 Yeah, me too.

[tylers7988569]

@Valoe7 YES

[julex234]

Time to set up a picnic...

[MissLink]

I love to just hang out on an island and listen to this....it's so relaxing :)

[bacon1313]

Can we get rule34 on Kina?

[julex234]

I like to think this is Kina's theme.

[YamiToYugi]

I could listen to this for hours...

[sakuraban96]

The first four notes are identical to "A Flower Blooming in the Slums" from Crisis Core.

[wolfgang1227]

Reminds me of Okami.

[LPTwisterDX]

0:49 this sound is from Twilight Princess, ya! :-D

[Hootshot112]

The beggining reminds me A LOT of Dark Cloud 2

[SmashXCartoons]

Brings back Twilight Princess memories, for some reason.

Which is a good thing, IMO. Twilight Princess may not be the best game in the series, but I still have a lot of fond memories of playing it.

[Mewquad]

I look to the videos next to this, and I see 'The Lumpy Pumpkin'

I was all like, "Eh? XD"

[eetaman]

@Mewquad

Lol same!

[CoreGamer44]

I could've sworn the title said Pumpkins Landing when I clicked on it O_O

[TheLegendaryFusion]

It's nice to play the harp with this music :)

[mirrorcanon]

My favourite music in the game so far. So peaceful...

[electricmastro]

@mirrorcanon I'd say it's one of the best peaceful Zelda songs...

[DaniruuHinotei]

This reminds me of the fishing area in Twilight Princess.

[Vegetalover321]

@DaniruuHinotei

It really does. It's such a pretty song

[garrettparrish1]

@DaniruuHinotei It basically is.

[DragoonReviews]

Why are Pumpkins landing?? O_O

[linkronny]

@DragoonReviews sry, I just like treating these pumpkins like the pigs from wind waker, just that... instead of throwing them into the water...

[MissRora]

@DragoonReviews One word: Catapult.
