Awesome Video Game Music 178: Credits (Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker)

[theHickster93]

hyperventilating.... easily feels at beginning running towards beach on outset island and waving goodbye and then just pushing off the ground to meet up and fly with my friends amongst the clouds far above the ocean... EFF YOU REALITY

[InnocenceExorcist]

When Zelda's Lullaby starts playing... that's when it just hits me.

[mtehreaper]

Right at the beginning, I got nostalgic goosebumps.

[Caio569]

I killed the f*cking bastard who disliked this!!!!

[Fockedspartan343]

@Caio569 I killed the other bastard who disliked again this.

[Tonypikmin]

10 years of WW people!

[Gzaerix]

@Tonypikmin Already? Time really does fly...

[Aflay1]

Oh christ. This song.... -.,-

[drakemanification]

childhood right here people... nuff said....

fuck it *starts up new game of Wind Waker* <3

[MrFloppyFish]

I wonder why the sister and the grandma weren't in Phantom Hourglass?

[lordofeverything123]

@MrFloppyFish cause they stayed on outset while link went off to find a new hyrule. look at the people standing on the beach in the cutscene where they're setting off, theyre there.

[MrFloppyFish]

@lordofeverything123 ah, that explains it. Thanks.

[TheHubbabubbafresh]

@MrFloppyFish Maybe because it was at least 300 years later.

[RushStudios101]

I was gonna play minecraft. I didn't. Reason why? This was playing.

[RushStudios101]

I...I don-don't care... WANNA LISTEN TO MY ZELDA!

[Linebeckable]

It´s... it´s... lovely...

[22jeyq]

BEST...GAME...EVER!!!!!

[RushStudios101]

*sobs*

[GhastlyOmega]

Easily the best song in the zelda franchise, though I wonder if there are any songs in skyward sword that stand out like this (I haven't played the game yet, I have to wait until christmas :(

[ClockworkChimera]

@GhastlyOmega I didn't really find myself paying attention to the music in Skyward Sword like I do in other Zelda games. Still, It's a great game and definetely worth the wait.

[WillowRib]

@GhastlyOmega Their are plenty of good songs (especially the credits, the only place you hear the Grand Leitmotif, i think)

[AgentDC76]

Needs moar Irish dancers. :-p

Seriously, though, this game's music was amazing. They nailed the whole Celtic musical theme.

[neoman289151]

Legend of Zelda is possibly my favorite game series ever

Hearing that skyward sword would be 100 hours and it'd be the hardest game since Zelda II, I was so happy I'd be able to get stuck in a Zelda game again!!!(Fun fact, that hasn't happened since stone tower temple on MM... on the N64...) Some say that the more you get stuck the less fun it is, but when you talk about a game like zelda, if you can't get stuck it's just... not the same...

you know what I mean, don't you?

[callum444121]

@neoman289151 im playing through zelda 2 currently and its getting near the point of too frustratingly difficult, but i know exactly what you mean. I'm almost done every game in the series now.

[neoman289151]

@callum444121 Exactly, I mean, think about it as if you were IN the Zelda world, these temples were made for the sole purpose of testing anyone who entered them, so when you can breeze through it on your first play-through it's kinda like the temple designers didn't want to protect what they had locked inside it, whether it's a pearl, a pedestal to power the master sword, or even just a fused shadow/mirror shard.

[MandLhatemileycyrus]

@neoman289151 I agree. I am so damn excited to get stuck and frustrated again on another Zelda game.

[drakemanification]

@neoman289151 yep... apparently the bosses are also gonna be harder as well! ^_^

[neoman289151]

@drakemanification I know :D

And with the AMAZING combat, and enemies with a good AI for once, seems like were gonna be taken on a real epic adventure in this game :)

[drakemanification]

@neoman289151 agreed

Skyward Sword FTW!!!! ^_^

[sageofdragons12]

I might not be a huge Zelda fan... But I believe this song is simply nothing less godly.

[sageofdragons12]

@sageofdragons12 Nothing less THAN godly.

srry

[kiki902143]

I love the kind of mood this gives off, y'know?

[DrPepper797]

*sobbing* I LOVE YOU LEGEND OF ZELDA

[Yayakills]

@DrPepper797 *pats DrPepper on his back in a comforting way*

[DrPepper797]

@Yayakills 0.o

[Yayakills]

@DrPepper797 It'll be okay DrPepper....it's gonna be okay...

[ZeldaMSmashHearts]

@DrPepper797 *In a comforting tone* Don't we all........... Want a cookie?

[xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

aaaaaaaw this song is so beautiful and irish :DDDD YEAH. man sure fits for pirates :p still this the Credits song for Wind Waker is my favorite LoZ music of all time, so memorable ;)

[thekid20x6]

@Kpsla yes you are right but also wrong at the same time

Termina is in an alternate dimension to Hyrule and in Hyrule Anju isn't Anju, that is the cuckoo lady not Anju

She may look like Anju but she isn't

She is just a quest npc when Anju is a plot important character

[drakemanification]

has anyone noticed that each girl link comes across (whether princess, friend or sister) is blonde? wtf

(well apart from malon)

[thekid20x6]

@drakemanification what about Midna, Marin, Anju and Medli none of them were blond either

[drakemanification]

@thekid20x6 i know, i ment to include them... who is Anju? o.o

[thekid20x6]

@drakemanification she is from majora's mask, she is the stockpot inn clerk

[drakemanification]

@thekid20x6 wergwergwergwergwergwergwergwe­rgwergwergwerg

[thekid20x6]

@drakemanification okay? o.o

[drakemanification]

@thekid20x6 hey what????? ah crud, my brother was on last night, sorry for the comment lol

[Kpsla]

@thekid20x6 also Oot an kakariko villige. ( child )

[TRRProductions09]

This was the first real game I beat, and the first time I felt an emotional connection to the characters...Hearing this song the first time brought tears to my eyes. I felt incredibly fulfilled.

[miniitaly]

I have an idea for a video game a crossover between the windwaker and mother 3 what do you think of it?

[bugworrall]

It's the kinda song you can listen to while sleeping out on a fishing boat in a lake somewhere. Relaxing.

[twilightangel004]

Beautiful......

[ZantFan111]

My favourite piece of video game music.Ever.Up there with the likes of Dark Maker Finale from Jak 3,Stone Like and almost every song from DKCR.

[ZantFan111]

@AgentDC76 Well,in Skyward Sword,the music will be fully orchestrated.

[robloxian00]

When Link bounces in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it's also to the beat of this music!

[AgentDC76]

It's kinda neat how more recent Zelda themes have (by their scorer's admissions) had more of an ethnic approach to them. I believe that WW was based generally on Celtic music, while I read in Nintendo Power that they were shooting for a more Eastern European feel to Twilight Princess. I wonder what they'll go for next.

[jsandefu]

This still gives me tingles. It's just beautiful.

[jsandefu]

This still gives me tingles. It's just beautiful.

[Evilguy951]

I'd make a smart ass comment, but I love this music too much to.

[FreakNr3]

i think, it's rather a leaf in the autumn wind, than a boat trip, but, like the title said:

IT'S AWESOME!

i'm sad for all, who can't see how emotional this song is.

especially 3:00 when zeldas lullaby comes in.

it'd become classic since ocarina of time

*sniff*

i LOVE you for loading this up.

[extremegamemaster]

ganondorf hated this video

[NintendoFan0505]

The game's music in WW is just amazing and beautiful. I love the whole soundtrack, especially this one.

[daxterdude366]

check out wind waker unplugged remix of this song its awesome

awesome meter 11/10

[ZantFan111]

Also,I'm Irish.Too bad I've never met Henry= P

[ZantFan111]

I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sobe0047]

Memories.... :)

[jujumack23]

this made me cry at the end of this game

[LgndHnter]

There's nothing that beats a classic. Proven time and time again, unto the end of memory. I believe what I've heard here is such and will remain so.

[Turtledude212]

ISNT THIS THE WIND GODS ARIA?!

[JoeMoron2000]

@Turtledude212 And the Earth God's Lyric.

[OrnateFail]

I am now going to go replay this game just for all of the amazing music.

For a video game, this is one of the more beautiful songs I've heard.

[JDaragonH]

First 3D Zelda game I beat. I was so sad when it was over.

[505Cman]

the ONE person that disliked this has no soul

[emachine000]

i love the music in Wind Waker, this is my favorite song alongside molgera´s theme and wind temple song

[Aeon014]

This is by far one of the best end credit themes ever. Every time I hear this song I can just picture going out and sailing the oceans of our world. I especially love the part around 3:00 it just holds such a powerful feeling to it.

[chevysrule70]

i love this.............it is tied for my second favorite video game music with tloz spirit tracks spirit flute song

[HBKfan22maico]

Here's a request - Smorg Battle from Paper Mario 2.

[HBKfan22maico]

Here's a request - Smorg Battle from Paper Mario 2. Pretty catchy and fun to listen to.

[Felgrand101]

my suggestion for the AVGM: credits roll from pokemon nystery dungeon explorers of time/darkness.

[AustinTheGeek]

Hey, peanut, i've got a request for some awesome video game music: Abandoned Castle from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It just an amazing piece, and it really fits for such a creepy environment.

[MrPeridot333]

grandioso! this is so soothing just energizing at the same time

[jseeker1867]

This song also gives me that same feeling of melancholy I feel that I get when I listen to "To Far Away Times". You just completed a great game, it a time of victory, but now you can't truly feel the same emotion you got from your first playthrough.

[Polarbomb15]

so calm, peacefull, beautiful *eyes begin to tear

[00roastedlampost00]

SUCH A GREAT GAME!!!!!!

[UltraKirby25]

This was also in the intro movie of Wind Waker.........beautiful :)

[ShadShaddo]

so many nostalgic moments with this game and its only been out a few years....i love it :D

[Remino52]

Aww hell yeah....

GORGEOUS

[fawful92]

this is one of my favorite zelda games.  and one of my favorite credits themes.

[Link8150]

AMAZING is all u really have to say about this

[MrWalrusGuy2]

At least you like Wind Waker. My friend HATES It. The only reason he hates it is because toon link is playable -_-. He thinks toon link is "gay" and he never gave the game a chance

[AnimeGuy9]

@MrWalrusGuy2 Tell your friend to stop living in 2004. Seriously, people have gotten past the art style and realized how good this game is by now. He needs to grow up. Now, if he doesn't like Zelda games, that's a different story...though that would require not liking Zelda games.

[ProffesorElm]

You can hear Zelda's Lullaby at 3:02 and at the end.

[TriggerHappyize]

I loved this music, but there are better in the game

[Nijipoop]

I love this too but I prefer the Z.R.E.O version

[alabzam]

This song makes me think of a combination between Scotland and Ireland.

[ReallySoStrange]

@alabzam Hell?

[AdmiralBobbery123]

@alabzam To be sure.

[lordofeverything123]

@alabzam that would explain why i love it so much, im half scotish and half irish!

[xXForeverxMidnightXx]

@lordofeverything123 lol, you're winner!

[OCMOOO]

@alabzam Woot Ireland ftw :D

[RooneyHimself]

@alabzam

Top o' the' mornin' t' ye, Laddie

[ThePurplePikminz]

@alabzam Same with my friend.

[gearvierxD]

awesome credits for an awesome game

[yiffenstijn]

It´s good but I´ve heard it too much (everytime you start the game you hear something like it)

[GamerNo98]

The second best credits theme ever (Behind Mario Galaxy).

[Brassrain0su]

It reminds me... To far away Times. o_o

It's beautiful... Especially, when you hear the end...

[LostTomorrows]

So uplifting, especially when the strings come in at 1:06. I LOVE this game's music, and this is my favourite Zelda credits theme by far. I LOVE celtic music, bagpipes, harps, violins, flutes... simply breathtaking stuff, gives you such a good feeling. My favourite as to be the slower version of Medii's Prayer when she duets with the Earth Temple Sage, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of video game music I've ever heard.

[seanileus]

Hmm, not the best track from the game.

[TheLordRatatosk]

hey can you do lower norfair/magmoor caverns from super metroid and metroid prime?

[KingRaikou]

Thanks again for uploading this, Peanut. I completely forgot what Wind Waker's credits music sounded like, and now i'm going to be remembering it for a long time to come. :D

[rogueshadow1933]

I NEED this game

[IcePheonix5167]

Kinda sounds like Irish music.

[Jacklepops]

@IcePheonix5167 Thats what I thought, It sounds like a session at the pub :)

[burra007]

that's a good tune for finishing the game ^^

[purppanther]

This is actually more of the main theme of the game. It played during the credits, but also at the title screen and in trailers, I think. Despite that, this is an amazing song and reminds me of Makar's violin thing.

[Insulapuer]

Amazing Game, Amazing Song, captures the essence of the game perfectly

[mediamaster127]

Uber amazingness.

[FinalGamerJames]

This is just beautiful <3 I love this song so much.

[forceofnature26]

I usually don't like credits music (I'm lookin' at you Assassin's Creed) but this is amazing.

[DeedeeT3000]

almost sounds like Clock Town from Majora's Mask, it has that feeling...

[forceofnature26]

@DeedeeT3000 Now that ya mentioned it, it does...

[COlimar788]

@DeedeeT3000 Huh... you're right. I wonder if that's an intentional reference or just an accident? Wind Waker does take place on Majora's Mask's side of the split timeline...

But anyway, this song is beautiful. That's really all there is to say on the matter!

[Dimawesome]

@COlimar788 i dont want to start something to discuss a lot about BUT i thought its in the other timeline. because link disappears after you beat ganon and later on ganon comes back but noones there to defeat him this time so the gods think it would be a good idea to flood hyrule. and after that windwaker starts. or am i wrong?^^

either way i love this piece of music. its calming, yet happy and somehow sad because its at the end of the game meaning you finished it :(

[COlimar788]

@Dimawesome Oh yeah, you're right... I always confuse the timeline splits... ^.^;

[lozfoe444]

I love this song. It's probably #2 on my favorite Zelda songs.

[giygasman]

awesomeness

[joshscorcher]

Lovely...

Zelda Reorchestrated has a beautiful remix of this.

I highly recommend checking it out.

[celibi88]

there are many a reason i like flutes and this is one of them

[unusualcatperson]

This is one of my favorite VGM. Definitely in my top 5.

You should do a top 10 credit themes video, Peanut :D

[hardysforever]

Koji Kondo's work is amazing, but this is the figurative cherry on top of it all. By that, I mean his best piece, it's a beautiful rearrangement of the temple themes, Zelda's Lullaby, and the main theme of the series. just beautiful.

[pingasbomb]

one of the best credit songs of all time but #1 goes to the alien hominid ending credits song listen to it i beg of you it is amazing

[yourpasshere]

Sounds like peaceful-viking music. Which is an oxymoron.

[Dukefan1333]

Best in song ever ^^

[accident7]

love this love love love

[AdmiralBobbery123]

Aw man, this song is freaking awesome.

[obviousoxymoron25]

I remember this

re-played the final boss like a week ago and memories flowed back in

[ShadowSilver97]

I love this music!

So awesome!

[gruntora]

You described it beautifully. Although out of all the LoZ credits, I didn't like Wind Waker's. Most of the other ones I enjoyed because you got to see all the minor characters' stories wrapped up, here you just saw the cliched credits scroll.

On the other hand this music totally compensated for that.

[MuphinnMix]

Yet another AVGM that is one of my personal faves. YES!

[supermariomanfan]

cool
