Best VGM 425 - Zelda: A Link to the Past - Hyrule Castle

[spiralings]

nostalgia chills and flashbacks to the 90s....I love it

[TheCrunsher]

HUAHHH HAAA HUAAAAAAAAAH

[RedtheGhost]

@TheCrunsher But Link didn't have voiceovers in the SNES version of this game. :T

[TheCrunsher]

@RedtheGhost And Obama wasnt called Mr.President 30 years ago. But now they do.

[JuanVCorona]

THE ABSOLUTE SHIT RIGHT HERE!!! haha xD

[HUDJ0679790]

Make me wanna save a princess in a castle !

[torchicguy]

All that's missing is the sound of swinging the sword...

[binturong1000]

never understood why Link was never allowed in the castle. He couldn't  just walk in but sneak in. Why is this so?

[SolBadguy314]

@binturong1000 basically, Link was framed for Zelda's disappearence. that's why some people in Kakariko Village summon enemies and run to their house when you talk to them.

[bombergal1]

This music is so amazing and needs to be orchestrated!

[BraveVesperia16]

I think all the Zelda games are great.

So stop with the hate people.

[SoulReaper1769]

Hey no hate on twilight princess, if your gonna hate, hate on Phantom Hourglass

[camred123]

@SoulReaper1769 no how about links awakining

[mujiha]

Remake....this game needs a remake....

[ChampionRevilo]

@mujiha Shigeru Myamoto said they may remake it for the 3DS.

[Stojfrisk]

Seriously, opinions are opinions, not something you rage on... This is definitively not the worst Zelda game, that could be something like Minish Cap or something, but this is terrific with it's unique length and the fact that you hafta beat two worlds is really something... (Just that we love the bunny Link)

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

A link to the past is the worst zelda game ever 

[MrThomVD]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 lol u crazy?

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@MrThomVD nop is the worst for several reasons

[MrThomVD]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 What reasons?

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@MrThomVD controls, graphics,gameplay,sound and a long etc........

[MrThomVD]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 It was one of the if not the best for it's time in all of those aspects. The music is argubly the best in the series and so is the gameplay. The controls are good, no problems with that. Graphics are awesome for an 20 years old game. If you don't agree, be more specific. Right now you sound like an 12 year old (no offence)

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@MrThomVD i said the sound effects not the music some are good yes , the graphics compared to super metroid are shi* and the controls were good only good and 1 more thing why i sound like 12 year old for you ?

[MrThomVD]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 Sound effects are not good because it is an SNES game. Super metroid was released 3 years after LttP so both had good graphics for their time. You sounded a bit like a 12 year old because they always complain about old games having bad graphics, sound, etc. It is an old game, and it is one of the best zelda games ever released. My personal favorite is OoT.

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@MrThomVD You think that i am a PS3 fanboy or something ? i dont give a fuc* about graphics but alttp takes the cake . Some games in the SNES ( like super metroid ) have pretty decent sound and effects unlike alttp .

My favorite is also OoT THATS a good game .

[MrThomVD]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 I guess it's your opinion so I won't argue with you anymore, but don't forget: ALttP will always be one of the best zelda games and even one of the best games ever.

[felipe95951]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 Alttp is the Best 2d zelda ever. And yes, you are a PS3 fanboy for sure.

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@felipe95951 I hate the PS3 and if i dont like the games that you like i am a PS3 fanboy ?

[felipe95951]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 yes, rpetty much, if you say Altt have both, bad graphics and Sounds, then you must be a 12 years old gamer :P

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@felipe95951 and my age is so fucking important because i say alttp is the worst zelda ?

[felipe95951]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 Yes. It is.

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@felipe95951 why ?

[thevideogamenerd100]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 reading your youtube name, I could tell that you were born in 1998 or you were around in 1998, me, I was born in 1998 and hate gaming nowadays. look, this is a great game! and if you hate this game, then why the hell are you listening to this music anyway?

[electricmastro]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 Please do not spew out ridiculous bullcrap like that, even if it is your own opinion.

[TheJazzer94]

You really like the music from A Link to the Past...That's fine, me too....

[Dynamox5]

The epitome of epic!

[MegaPrincesspeach]

you have a delicate taste for good soundtracks :D very nice

[Orcdudez]

0:56 - 1:10 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmusic

[masterplusmargarita]

This is how music in a fantasy game should make you feel when you're exploring a castle. Seriously, that should be easy to understand. Why then, is it so hard to actually APPLY nowadays?

[BobJimAndSquaids]

This makes me want to go play through the game and get every single item for liek the millionth time!

[Strahlenreiter]

@BobJimAndSquaids for Liek??



[BobJimAndSquaids]

@Strahlenreiter like* sorry

[Strahlenreiter]

@BobJimAndSquaids ah.. I thought you had meant "get every single item for LINK" hehe..

[geno1082]

The 3 people that disliked this were dumb and couldn't find the hidden passage behind the throne (even with this clue I just gave)

[Firestar77777]

My opinion: All the Zelda games are great in their own ways. Yes, all of them.

Incredibly... tremendous music here.

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

@Firestar77777 You must not have played the CDi Zelda games if you think they're ALL great.

[Namadu7]

@BrimstoneLandscapes , I said all of them, and I meant all of them. The CD-I Zelda games have provided a lot of humor and similar entertainment to people, even if it wasn't on purpose. Also, the music is catchy. Ever heard of a man named Tony Trippi?

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

@Namadu7 Eh good point. And no, I can't say I have.

[AaronWii1]

this song always pops into my mind when I think of roman history, and when I play that special part in the wind waker. ohhhh the nostalgia! I cant wait, i need more zelda!

[alanisgirl2010]

I think 'Hyrule Castle' is a great song. That's when you're in the castle.

[Kakashi356]

The 2 who disliked this got caught sneaking into the castle

[IWannaBeThePie]

@ThatIncredibleJordan My... glasses are stuck. Little help here?

[xXMissMarmaladeXx]

WHY DON`T WE ALL JUST STOP COMPARING AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC?

[XFFGSephiroth]

a link to the past is my fav-part. i would do anything for a remake.

i think its better than OoT or twilight princess.

plz dont kill me now. its my opinion.

[ChaojimboProductionz]

Am I the only one who likes EVERY zelda game?

2D Zelda was the most difficult and time consuming.

3D Zelda was the most extensive with MANY things to do.

I still never beat TP. OoT Was better.

[frenchfrey65]

so many remixes (they all rock too XD) but this one will always be everlasting :)

[ChrisCa1601]

Mah Boi, this theme is what all true kings strive for!

[CastleofAnime]

always nice to hear a good friend... #^o^#

[AoiKageNoChikara]

Man....I think this is SO EPIC!!

The best version was for the freaking GBA, Since you could have all this epicness in the palm of your hands wherever you go!!

[Bananinasdasd]

a remake of this game for the wii... PLEASE!!!!!!!

[AquaCatTT]

@Bananinasdasd It was rereleased on GBA in 2002, and its avaible right now for the Virtual Console on the Wii, so there is no need for a Wii remake, even though that would be cool.

[BiasedGuy123]

I loved Hyrule Castle on here. I just got the master sword, and I was barraling through like I was invincible. It was amazing. Then the fight with Aganim(Can't spell)- that was good, too!

[Senjan]

This music always plays in my mind everytime I get indoors during mighty rainstorms at summer.

[sadatheart]

I nostalgia'd my pants :o

Time to get out my original Nintendo, and pop in battle toads!!

[Ragnaroxxor]

Too lazy to check; was this also Koji Kondo's work?

[eyephuctyormom]

i remember before this game came out, anticipation was so great it was like reading nintendo power reviews of this game was better than playing any other existing game at the time.

arguably best video game ever

[MaxReboEpic]

This game has one of the best, most atmospheric beginnings ever with waking up in the middle of the night and going out in the pouring rain to rescue Zelda from a castle swarming with soldiers. And this music which is one of the best compositions in human history.

[tenebnaes]

also the castle theme in minish cap

[Pander8874]

I nostalgia'd so hard when I heard the opening to this song play in Wind Waker

[SixStringedSavior]

lmao! the phrase "nostalgia'd so hard" made me lol! literally!

[commentmutant]

this is the opening theme in WW?

[Pander8874]

@commentmutant

no, it's later on in the game

[JacksonChaseSmith]

@Pander8874 I had a nostalgia boner when I HEARD THE OPENING IN MINISH CAP -oh wait i'm only 12 IT GAVE ME A BONER THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS

[TheMorderoc]

That's a troll... don't answer. Better is to comment the music :)

[yoshiroks777]

@TheMorderoc I feel disgusted to share the three numbers at the end of my name with that guy! good thing his account in suspended. >:(

[TomSupreme]

Stupid?

[SesaruMKM]

This music is really nice! Very few songs are as good as this one.

[Quez256]

haha, just remembered when I was a kid, I actually recorded this thing on a 8-track cassette, just to listen to it, it's THAT good.

[Quez256]

nice how they included a arranged version of this in TP

[Funksy86]

It took you 425 entries to get this song in?!

In seriousness, this song rocks. Brings back great memories

[TheMilfman7]

wow. This just sends fucking chills through my body. Vaguely remember watching my brother playing this while I ate all my nerds after super >__> i can't even get through the first god damn dugeon! D:

[NoiseIess]

WOOOOH i heard the first 5 secunds and a tear began to roll.

I LOVE THIS GAME <333

[PirateOfAmazon]

Dude, u can't let behind "Wind Of Courage", one of the 3 LoZ's main themes, besides LoZ's opening theme and Zelda's own theme.

[LanIost]

Looks like you should have a modded xbox in college along with your 360...

[Ralkila]

when i was a kid this game make me live awesome moments , years later ( many XD ) , i was playing zalde twilight and then i entered to the castle and when i put a feet inside holy shit!! XD epic moment =)

nice videos and music choice

[mathteacher1729]

0:56 brought back so many memories. I remember playing this game as a kid, it was (and still is) a masterpiece!

[kinginsomniac]

Makes me want to fire up LttP, but I only have my Xbox 360 at college and I don't have the ROM on my computer. Oh, well.

[kawnsfather]

y'know i feel some sympathy for ya since i myself heard this and just got the burning feeling to play this again, if you want ill send you a ROM of it anytime.

[Idolores]

Love the militant feel. Really dark and menacing.

[Mjdixey]

oh this game rocks... i remember playing it when i was like 8.. took me forever to beat but damn.. it was fun

[raxzar]

Thats my 2nd favourite Zelda game behind ocarina of time.

[Boyce18]

Awesome!

[johnnylovelane]

Majora's Mask was pretty "dark" and it was also like an acid trip

[bregowine]

I didn't like Twilight Princess... It doesn't give you almost anything new, as Majora's Mask did in some way. The game follows a single line, and stays there the whole time. Yeah, riding Epona is great, there are nice things here and there, but there's nothing to say "it's better than Ocarina of Time", for Christ sake...

[Aqua1222]

It's more or less a much more detailed OoT, but it was still a great game.

Majora's Mask was awesome though. It was theoretically short, having only a handful of dungeons, and only 5 bosses (not counting minibosses), but the whole time travelling aspect is what made it so replayable. You could go back and do everything over, without having to erase and start a new game!

[mattrdsx2]

I think they basically took the ideas of OoT, added some cinematic elements, threw in a wolf, and BAM. Twilight Princess.

[killersithlords]

@mattrdsx2

I had no problem with that. :)

[gmrpg2]

@mattrdsx2 i completely agree, because i hated both those games.

[MrAgnost]

@mattrdsx2 You think ? Sounds more like u read that in the official CEO documents :P pretty damn accurate

[MarioGalaxy243g5]

@mattrdsx2 The spinner was somewhat original.

[ThatIncredibleJordan]

@mattrdsx2 Ocarina was just link to the past in 3D, but not as good. They just to link to the past, made it 3D, very slightly changed the story and BAM. OoT

[Ze33roX]

@ThatIncredibleJordan

[NathanLFC1994]

@ThatIncredibleJordan Ocarina of Time is nothing like A Link to the Past? they are both amazing games with different storylines and completely different characters in most parts. OOT is the best game of all time enough said.

[ThatIncredibleJordan]

@NathanLFC1994 Ocarina is very very good but it is just a 3d ALTTP. If you deny that you are retarded. Take off the rose coloured glasses

[NathanLFC1994]

@ThatIncredibleJordan Haha. Tell me how it is a 3D alttp? please i would like to know. Hyrule is much different and better on the ocarina, the characters are better, Ganon is much more impressive, the temples are much more varied, the weapons are better same for the bosses, cutscenes are great, z-targeting was a plus, music was the best in the series should i continue?

[BowserKoopaFTW]

@ThatIncredibleJordan diff. storyline+diff. characters+diff. objectives=different game.

[magicalpoop]

@mattrdsx2 I hope you realize OOT is Link to the Past but more emphasis on the Ocarina and using grown/old instead of light/dark world.

[PerseusLP]

@mattrdsx2

Too bad, you're ultimately retarded. Otherwise you'd see OoT is a lot more a 3D recreation of A link to the Past than TP is from both. So, if you want to make a negative statement about a game, just get your fucking bad eyes open and see that there is the most overrated game on the world what is just worse in that case.

[MrAnon05]

@mattrdsx2 Seriously, stop hating on Twilight Princess people. All the Zelda games are good.

[udienowisay]

@mattrdsx2 and it was a great game, i mean fuck take OoT BOOM fucking great game. PERIOD. ok?

good

[ChampionRevilo]

@mattrdsx2 Twilight Princess is just a mix of OoT and ALttP. But what an awesome mix it is!

[Nazareadain]

@mattrdsx2 and added the twilight world with warped "music", if you want to call it that, which ruined the experience for me. nothing was worse than that place, yet so much of the game took place there that i barely put up with the game, start to finish.

[austinthebookworm5]

@mattrdsx2

and I wouldn't want it any other way!! TP is one of the greatest games I have ever played

[RAARproductionz]

Another "dark" game from Nintendo, in the Zelda series, is Twilight Princess. The plot, the setting and everything around you is very dark.

[r3negadeangel]

did anyone else think this was the "darkest" zelda game? or maybe because i played it when i was younger...but the music and world just seemed more mature than later zelda games to me!

[RaiderOfChaos]

Never thought about it really but now that you mention it it is "darker" than the other Zelda games. Good catch

[cronodob]

how is this amount of greatness

even possible?

[philaufan6]

Oh Nintendo gods thanks for thy greatness upon me!!

[Sephiko]

One of my favorite classics. I'm fond of the Minish Cap version as well.

[Itsdefault]

This game kills TP cause TP wasent a world i could get lost in. From what i saw anyway. I never cared to play it. Watched my friend go through the entire game and im thinkin " where are all the secrets? " This game was filled to the brim with secrets man. I love everysecound of it. Then theres the fact i've played this game since i was 4 years old. Being 17 now id still chose it over tp.

[KevlarKuma]

I remember the first time I played LTTP when I was a kid and when I went in the castle and this music hit, I was like "Oh Man, I shouldn't be here!" It upped the suspense factor of the fight to save Zelda quite a bit.

[kirbyandme]

Actually i prefered TP over this

Dun know why /= just my style i suppose

but this game still rocks, i just prefer TP =D

But ya i wasted months of my life on this game

and it was worth it ^_^

[Radkennster]

i still have this game on my snes

Great Song

Dark World FTW

[Greenboom98]

Same here! Also have the GBA version but SNES>>>>>>GBA version. GBA version's bonus dungeon was nice though.

[broncovols]

I wasn't that impressed with this song until I heard it in Twilight Princess. Then I was like whoa. That's how you bring about a theme.

[Itsdefault]

thats sad. considering this version kicks twilights in the dick

[luco0007]

HAHAHAHAHA!

Not sure if I agree, but it is funny nonetheless. But then again TP kinda took it in the dick just in general, don't you agree? Nice and long, but I don't know, not one of my favorites.

[LokiHeart]

woooooooooH! thank goodness such a great track is in this wonderful list!

-LokiHeart

[evilgaze]

Epic like all Zelda songs~

[WINGMASTER7]

One of the best zeldas

[Seabas989]

Awesome song. My favorite Zelda game and my overall second favorite game behind Super Mario Bros.

[Rubberman202]

Awesome.

[ZeZwede]

this tune was so epic, and really set a good start for an awesome game. :D

[Cybertoco]

LOVE IT

[saurfan]

yeah lets get some zelda action inhere awsome pick!

[PAVGN]

Another great song from this game that makes me say that A Link to the Past has one of the best soundtracks in the Zelda series.

[XioXaio12]

It's pretty cool and Nostalgic when they put a similar tune in Twilight Princess

[SwordScarab0]

yeah zelda 2 is much harder

but it's fun :D

[ClefairyHero]

Oh hell YES! I love this song!

[Atamius]

The beginning of the first game i have ever played... the nostalgia of a beginning is to breath :P very epic song and the best game ever created

[ELBORRACHO86]

This is memories right here. instant classic. i remember playin this classic in Halloween 92 in a actual haunted house!

[FlamingRuby]

The GBA version of this is also very nice.

[LordMaxdomTolvo]

Absolutely incredible, and it is great to hear it again after so many years. nostalgia always feels great, especially with such classics.

[lostworldcomms]

I really love this song. Quite epic, though the versions in TP and MC are more sinister this one is more triumphant.

[Natendo64]

Not really I think you got it back wards ESPECIALLY minish cap

[lostworldcomms]

Nope, Dark Hyrule Castle in Minish Cap is quite sinister and eerie. It brings chills down my spine.

[VGKing]

Yes! I believe I called it last time! And I also believe this to be the #1 reason anybody loves ALTTP. Seriously, who doesn't love this song?

[PHILLYCHEESESTEAK26]

Yeah first comment!  Never played this game before but this song sounds exellent!

[Viterkim]

you should rly play it, hardest zelda game ever

[PHILLYCHEESESTEAK26]

I pretty much never played a Zelda game. i do not get how to play them. The only Zelda game where I got minor progress on was Majora's Mask.

[ELBORRACHO86]

lol ur no gamer if u havent played zelda

[VGKing]

What about Zelda 2? I've heard people complain about how hard that game is. (Probably due to it being the offspring of Zelda and Metroid.)

[Viterkim]

I hated zelda 2 its more an RPG sidescroller than a zelda game :(

[adman63]

Zelda 2 is one of the hardest games I've ever beaten. You could combine the difficulty of every other Zelda game and it wouldn't be as hard.

[uetzel]

oh fuck yeah. replayed it a year ago and man that game was hard. way harder than any zelda game i have ever played before, and i practically played every zelda since zelda 2

[TuxedoRay]

agreed u have to play this one. But i dont believe it was the hardest. but i had a strat guide so what do i know? :) Anyways, this one did take a long time to finally make the list.
