I find it awesome that Nintendo made Ballad of the Goddess sound like Zelda's Lullaby backwards, and vise versa. It suggests Zelda's relationship with the goddess, Helia. (If I got the goddess's name right. XD)
If you played Skyward Sword backwards... its a mystical tale of a legendary hero and his friend wanting to live up in the clouds and fighting anyone in their way, even a slightly camp guy who saved the hero's friend's soul from being consumed by Demise xD
@JenniSabaOffical True that my friend true that. Ocariana of Time rules. I say Skyward Sword and Ocaraina of Time are tied cause they are two of the best Zelda games out there.
...Anyone notice the tribute to Ocarina of Time here? (Not Zelda's Lullaby)
After you beat Ganon in OoT, Link and Zelda are standing in the sky surrounding by clouds. In this scene, many of the shot look the same, with the clouds all around them.
not trying to be racist, but i dont like how when she sings the goddess song she sounds REALLY aisian. but when she sings it in reverse (zeldas lulaby) she sounds more caucaisian. wich i prefer. no racism intended.
@RandomAnonymousBeing I think that's because Hylian is meant to be similar to Japanese. Even in Twilight Princess when Shad is reciting the ancient Hylian texts it sounds like he's speaking Japanese.
@Sanguiluna meh, I find the zelda series not to have that aisian feel, even though nintendo is a japanese company, when I played twilight princess, the didnt have a trace of aisianism :p. not that I dont like aisian culture or anything. but I like zelda having more of an european medival feel tooo it, rather than an ancient oriental aisian feel. not that I have anything agaisnt aisians. (I myself am part aisian). its just my preference.
@RandomAnonymousBeing The Zelda series actually is a blend of both Asian and western. On the surface, it's very western-looking. But the mythology, which is polytheistic and goddess-centered has more in common with eastern mythology, while medieval Europe was polytheistic Christian, and the emphasis of balance of power, wisdom and courage is more in line with eastern philosophy as opposed to medieval Europe, which viewed power and knowledge as dangerous things.
@VolvenIV they arent "just" reversing their old songs. They did this on purpose, and because skyward sword is a prequel to ocarina of time, it fits perfectly and actually has to do with the story line.
@twilightlink261 Not complaining about them reusing older songs, and I get that Ballad of the Goddess being Zelda's Lullaby in reverse is deliberate, but have you listened to Ilia's theme in reverse? At parts it matches Ballad of the Wind Fish almost perfectly.
@OoReaperGamingoO You clearly couldn't recognize sarcasm if it hit you in the face. And funny how you consider my comment as wasteful, but you boasting about being able to name the one of most easily recognizable tunes in the franchise (as I've already mentioned) is not a wasteful comment at all. Furthermore, I bet I could easily find a tune you could not name, rendering your boast, moot. But alas, Youtube arguments are retarded and I do not wish to partake in one any longer. I bed you, adieu.
@DNAthePanda I find you hilarious. im sitting here, while your getting angry over a comment. grow up. and no, i wasnt boasting. i bet anyone else could name it too. dont be a smart-ass over a friggin comment. talk about im-mature.
@twilightlink261 It's a Beatles Album reference. I don't remember which one but if you play one of the songs backwards, it says the same thing, except you replace "Link" with "Ringo"
@Yabanko it isn't a reference to anything. Koji Kondo, was experimenting when trying to compose a skyward sword song and this is what he came up with. He thought it sounded good so he showed Miyamoto and he loved it. The thing is, Koji didn't tell miyamoto it was actually zeldas lullaby backwards, until much later.
@twilightlink261 I know that...I know the whole song isn't a reference to that I was just answering the comment about the "Link is dead" line is all..
I don't think it sounds scary at all. I just think it sounds a bit weird obviously because its backwards. Its cute how she is singing her own theme backwards.
