  • 00:51 - 1:19 Made a hip-hop beat by sampling this part and adjusting the pitch

  • this will forever be tainted by the four hours of dialogue that took place during this song

  • 00:30 to 00:50=My favorite part. I LOVE THIS SONG ITS MY FAVORITE IN GOLDEN SUN

  • Where's the loop button -_-'

  • Man ,what a game...awesome! Proof that best games are a perfect blend of gameplay and script...and good music too!You don't need 3D engines to be entertained! 16 bit era rocks!

  • in my opinion the best handheld game ever made

  • Dark dawn man was too short the first and second part had more hours gaming.

  • The elemental stars song is so haunting.

  • Dark Dawn disappointed me. If I start playing the 2 original GS games, I can't stop playing until I achieve everything in the game. But with Dark Dawn, I couldn't even finish it. : \

  • @TheD3vice Exactly like you...

  • @TheD3vice I finished the main story in something like 3 days and haven't touched it since. :/

  • Comment removed

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaargh fuck nostalgia, gqsdfqmjdfzlk

    I could cry 

  • @JizzMasterPino How eloquent.

  • @offyerrocker

    haha, sorry :p

    I was caught up in the moment.

  • The best OST of a game !

  • I just cried a little. *sigh* I miss those days :(

  • <3

  • Shit this song brings it all back

  • I was a little sad this didn't appear in Dark Dawn

    would've fit Apollo Sanctum perfectly

  • this video game gave me one dream : have the power to forget it completly to rediscover it over and over.

  • when i think of this song i always think of the time i saw a pregnant vietnamese transvestite using a cactus as a dildo

  • Best rpg ever.

  • favorite track in the game. this is mystery adventure beauty and wonderment in musical form

  • As soon as you turned on the power on your gba... and heard the intro song, you were engulfed by an amazing ammount of endless beauty..... Right then, you know you didnt have any ordinary game in your hands.. you started your adventure.. lost track of everything.. except the world you were in... the golden sun world... The Sounds played, Battles raged.... An Amazing plot unveiled itself onto you... And at that moment, you initiated your travels. in the most flawless RPG To ever live: Golden Sun

  • @WaterCrystalline Until you got to Air's Rock. *Cough.*

    I'm kidding. This is a perfect way to put it. Perfect.

  • Hello fellow golden sun fans! I just started recently playing your game and I and just now getting to the venus lighthouse! I want you all to know this has now become one of my favorite game ever! :)

  • @ZeratheWolf Welcome to the club :D Be sure to check out "Boltage" Mcgammar's Golden Sun Lets play, he did one for GS1 and 2 and I am pretty sure he plans on doing it for the newer 3 as well. GS is a masterpiece of artwork, music and plotline.

    The only thing I could complain about this game is the plot for the antagonists..I would of really liked playing as Saturos or Alex, but ah well, all games cannot be perfect, but THIS ONE came CLOSE to perfect ^^ As I am sure you noticed. ^^

  • Now this brings back some memories.

  • this game has no other words just amazing....... i hope golden sun 4 comes out soon dying to know what happens after dark dawn

  • this game was amazing.

    i just wish they could make it for another system so we could see what everything would look like up close and with better graphics.

  • GBA had no sound DSP like SNES but how is that Camelots games had reverbed MIDI like SNES games and good graphics but not other GBA games?

  • @SPS148669 The GBA DOES have a DSP. In fact, one better than the SNES. The reason that the GBA can do all of these things is because it has a higher channel count, higher bitlength for samples, and supports a huge range of DPCM samples.

    All of the instruments were encoded as DPCM samples.

  • @Metroid225

    The Main ARM7 on GBA rendered the sound in software like the N64. You must be thinking of the DS. The DS got a "fixed" DSP tacked on to the ARM7 that supported 16 channels (8 more than SNES) and compressed/uncompressed samples like SNES. The 3DS replaced the "fixed" 16 voice DSP in the original DS when a 134mhz completely programmable DSP when the number of channels is limited by the software running on it. 3DS does an average of 32 -100 voices.Resident Evil 3DS shows it off,

  • @SPS148669 The N64 actually had a DSP. I -was- thinking of the DS, thank you. :P

    Still, the DPCM method was used for the GBA, even if ARM did handle it all, enabling the use of instruments like the ones used here.

  • I loved that game and I loved the music...just freaking awesome! *O*

  • pure,earnest and mystical.

  • I will never forget the first day I heard this song. My friend got done with a swim meet and wanted to show me a new game he had just gotten (and I would soon seek and get after), and his save was in the room with this song. He let me use the game, and a single cherry blossom fell on the screen of his translucent pink Game Boy Advance. That day I learned several things: 1) Pink is now awesome, 2) Motoi Sakuraba is AMAZING (composer) and 3) I NEEDED THIS GAME. It is to this day my favorite ever.

  • Solitary, sad, mystical. This is how I would describe this music.

  • The whole game has this incredibly sense of mystery and wonder. It's something found only in a few things. A painting here, a piece of music there. It's like looking up at the stars into the eternity of the universe and being at amazed at how something so vast and awesome could exist.

  • Golden Sun is a game, that has far surpassed the meaning of a game.

    It is so much more. This game, the music, the story has fulfilled me in some way as a being itself. Do you know that feeling, while playing this game, of your inner horizon rising?

    Golden Sun is more than meets the eye.

    I dearly hope for a movie, although I'm very well aware that it probably won't happen.

  • @Luxferre7 I used to want someone to make a Golden Sun movie or anime, but it would completely suck in comparison to the game. Just like how movies made from books mostly suck... I don't think anyone can fully capture the genius that is Golden Sun!

    It's hard to believe that you hear a theme like this just, what? 10-20 mins into the game? 

  • @Luxferre7 I won't hope for a movie, unless it's a movie that has the concepts of the games included but no characters or other data remade. If the movie were to be about Golden Sun (1) from another party of adepts' perspective, I would totally be on board. It's just that movie versions of things that weren't movies tend to destroy the mysticism and wonder that was in the original version of whatever it was. The game is to me better than any movie ever made.

  • @jomon324 I'd prefer an anime series!

  • @TRLahti I'd be okay with that. Anime tends to deviate from the media that it takes from (if there's something before whatever anime it is), but I've been okay with it since childhood. The reason is this: Seeing something you love put into a media you love creates a special bond: you stop caring about the errors that happen and just enjoy what is there. At least that's what I do. Prime example: Megaman NT Warrior. Didn't follow the games very much at all, but I liked it anyway.

  • This brings me to tears. The way they put such beauty into a GBA game is incredible. Best RPG Series!

  • the male choir sakuraba used is the best in this song.its so emotional that u will never forget it.

  • I've never heard a song that was so depressing, yet so completely uplifting at the same time! The balance between sorrow and hope is astounding!

  • To me, this sounds similar to Frezikiel from Tales of Phantasia. The bells remind me of either the dungeon or the town, I can't remember which.

  • Easily the best game on GBA!!!!!

  • My favorite RPG ever.

  • The Golden Sun games were my favorite rpgs ever... I'm still replaying them over and over. And this song is by far my favorite.

    I can hear the choir, the echoing xylophone and flute, the magnificently brave oboes with their trailing vibrato, the hidden low brass... I would love to compose a symphony in honor of this... <3

  • Jeez. You know what I hate about this? The damn sound quality.

    There were some awesome soundtracks for some bloody rad GBA games, but they ended up totally butchered because of the GBA's crummy soundcard. I mean, listen to this: it's fantastic. It's gorgeous.

    BUT THE INSTRUMENTS SUCK. Auggggh. Thank God for remixes on Youtube, right? Riiiiight?

  • @emazinglyemi They should've just redone the tracks for the DS with the higher quality... Most of the Dark Dawn themes are not nearly awesome enough than these.

  • The best sound of GS for me <3

    Sadness...<3

  • this sounds almost like it was made in mario paint espicially the part at 5:51

  • 1 of the best songs in GS i think, from the more slow songs, that this is most beautiful, next Venus Lighthouse, Juppiter Lighthouse, next Garoh, Other (faster) songs, 1 Golden Sun Rises, 2 Second Overworld Theme of GS2, 3 Saturnos Battle Theme 4 Boat Battle Theme All other songs are also very beautiful, dont take me wrong0
  • I love the music to the original games. Dark Dawn has some pretty good music too.

  • The worst part about this song is that it ends.

  • When I first heard this those many years ago, I sat my gameboy down, and listened to it for almost an hour....

    Golden Sun Dark Dawn is simply amazing. Granted I haven't beat it yet, it is as good as its precursors.

  • @MasterReynard Ha, I always did that too. One of the best soundtracks for a game I've heard.

  • @MasterReynard i liked better the clean graphics of the first 2, and, for some reason the game was more immersive too.

  • @2Punx2Furious

    agreed

  • For me Golden Sun is of the best games of all time. A fantastic RPG. I couldn't believe the graphics and the quality of the music on the Game Boy Advance. I would love to hear this song played live. It would be unreal. I'm so glad Dark Dawn is coming. Going back to the series will be like revisiting an old friend. Golden Sun, it's to shine once again. It's good to have you back!

  • @churchy99 i hope they will use a few old songs, and hopefully in better quality, without the music the 2 games wouldnt have been as good as they hadbeen and still are

  • @churchy99

    You said it :)

    *thumps up*

  • Best music ever!!

  • The 3 people who disliked this could not beat Saturos on Mercury Lighthouse

  • Comment removed

  • wish i could play isaac & co and felix & co again in dark dawn... i miss them..

  • who else cant wait for dark dawn i hope its just as good or better then the other golden sun games but i doubt it ah well back to playing golden sun lol

  • This song is at the same time calming peacefully yet an bit creepy

    also I pic up an few of the instruments an glockenspiel or whats it called.

    an pic flute(something like that), voice (choir male) and some kind of horn,

  • can't belive a year's gone ;(

  • Amazing game

  • Seriously the best game I've ever played. Also it has the best OSTs!

    It seems that 3 Justin Bieber fans missed the like button :(

  • 3 People like Justin Bieber instead!

  • the 3 who disliked are trolls

  • @psaile93 3 must die >=0

  • orgasmic <3 who agrees?

  • camelot's games are too underrated. i miss games like this and beyond the beyond...

  • Such a wonderful song to wake up to.

  • The GBA was legendary for bringing us games like Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Sonic Advance, Mario & Luigi, FF Tactics, Megaman Zero, Mother 3, The Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion. Easily the best Nintendo stuff with the Nintendo 64 era. Damn, the last 90's/early 00's were the days...

  • @PlayGamers true, now its pretty rare to find such good games :<

  • @PlayGamers and the castlevania

  • @PlayGamers Tell me about it..... Zelda, Pokemon, Golden Sun, Metroid Fusion, Kirby, Megaman Zero. Pretty much the ones you mentioned lol. Will always be the best gaming era of our lives.

  • anyone else noticed how muscly Garet is? and he's what 17? lol

  • @InfernalMatter What about Tyrell? Isn't he 16? He's has more muscles than Garet did XD

  • come ON Camelot, hurry up with GSDS ALREADY!!!

  • one of the songs i mostly loved in all my life , there is nothing even to discuss , i simply love this , absolutely majestic , it will stay in my head until the day i die

  • Venus Lighthouse is the best hands down.

    The music is incredible.

    I used to stay in the V.Lighthouse for hours.

  • When I think of this song, I always think of a drop of water trickling down a leaf up in the mountains, landing on a rock by some plants. It runs down their tops, through crevices, under the shade, merging with other drops. Eventually it is a rivulet wandering through the dirt into a small stream down the mountain, where it meanders into a flowing river. At 1:15, it is a churning river that passes waterfalls, nourishing animals and plants. Then it resets at 1:32 to the trickling water drops.

  • @wetterdew wow really i was picturing what u was saying just now wow it was beautiful ty for sharing

  • @wetterdew If I had a camera, I'd make that into a video... got the perfect waterfall and everything...

  • @

    thats pretty awesome man

  • @wetterdew That text reminded me of the Disney bambi movie. Lol.

  • @wetterdew Wow.

  • Yeah it does sound like SO2. I'll have to get this just because Motoi Sakuraba composed it.

  • what is SO ?

  • @hihowareyou22 Star Ocean, a great RPG series. Star Ocean 2 was one of the best RPGs on the PS1.

  • i loved this game had to play golden sun2 as well

  • loved the elemental stars chamber, this game easily had some of the best (and worst) music around

  • Name some of the worst. I can't think of one bad some in Golden Sun.

  • idk personally, saturos' battle theme and magma rock were some of my favorites :o

    but thats just me :p

  • taopopo swamp was pretty good because it suited the environment, shuallah sucked (the same as mercury), isaacs battle theme kicked ass, boss was too wild but it suited the boss, magma rock was pretty cool and saturos' battle theme kicked ass aswell!

    but everyone has his own taste of music, but i do agree that the songs with the "mean" notes were pretty ruined. but still, golden sun, pure epicness

  • worst? :O

    maybe shuallah gates but srsly

  • Golden Sun and FFVII my 2 favourite rpg's they should be remaked

  • they are remaking or at least having a new golden sun come out for the DS

  • Comment removed

  • damn, motoi sakuraba did everything from the tales series to Star Ocean and Golden Sun!

  • proof that he can't get any more awesome? Naaah. He's definitely awesome tho. ~_^

  • he did SO!? sweet! i had no idea who did the SO music. :p

  • I'm gonna borrow someone's DS Lite or GBA Micro, so I can play through the games again with headphones on.

  • Göttans! Golden Sun DS! Insta-buy!

  • I swear, if I hear this in Golden Sun DS, I'm gonna cry...

    This song has so many feelings and memories carved into it.

  • You're not the only one. I would go directly to Japan and give a big hug to everyone at Camelot's HQ.

  • i wouldnt be surprised to hear this in Golden Sun DS...its a pretty important song, not to mention just plain awesome as well...

  • Not to mention if they are using the Kalay/Tolbi Docks theme from the first game for the trailer, there's no way they would pass this one up.

  • yeah very true...if they use a song like that i would be surprised if this one isnt there...

  • holy shit. nostalgia cum all over my face :D

    Need to replay it... ugh, Golden Sun DS not coming until next year ;_;

  • 2010 seems to far away now. Great.

  • And that's why I hate E3 because it gets announced so you scream woohoo and then the date is announced and then you are waiting anxiously for like a whole year

  • ce jeu depasse de loin la plupart des rpg actuel

    le meilleure jeu de tous les temps!

  • je parles peut français, mai oui, c'est le meilleure rpg!!!

  • Good times.

  • Golden Sun 3: As distant and uncertain as FFVII PS3 remake.

  • And yet they announced it today :D

  • Just a couple of days after my comment. Isn't that ironic? Did Camelot read it and get pissed off? :)

  • Good point :D

  • its funny because with Final Fantasy VII on PSN Store...it may be an even longer while before a remake happens now lol..maybe theyre secretly creating hype for a remake?

  • beautiful moving music, epic story and world . . . that is Golden Sun . . . one of, if not the best game ever

  • Hear hear.

  • lol

  • If i listen to this song a tear always runs down my cheek it's so beautiful if i'm stressed or mad or something and i put this song up it always makes me calm down and think straight again. Beautiful. 5/5 :D

  • This song alone nearly describes how amazing Golden Sun is... lighthearted at times, majestic at others, and so on...

  • goose skin..

    I just love it..

  • haha i love u

  • Suddenly I'm on one of the Lighthouse's aeries, wondering what the fate if the world will be...

  • Best game ever

  • would be great if there was a goldensun 3.....

    5/5

  • I know...

    5/5 to the video!

  • it's confirmed Golden Sun DS next year

  • @SuperDude312 there will be

  • @SuperDude312 you're gonna get your wish soon. *begins to float and glow* Golden sun DS is coming out in a few months...

  • @SuperDude312 There's one coming for the DS :)

  • @SuperDude312 it does exists ITS GONNA BE GOLDEN SUN DS!!!!!!!

  • @SuperDude312 There is one for Nintendo DS: Golden Sun Dark Dawn XD

  • @SkyShaymin08 *cough* That comment was posted a year ago... *End cough*

  • @SuperDude312 It looks like there is a Golden Sun 3. :D

  • @SuperDude312 There is >_< Maybe you know.. but.. yes.. there is a GS 3 ^^

  • @Pandalol1337

    yes i know :p

  • @SuperDude312

    Have been getting quite a few replies on this ^^

    YES, i have golden sun dark dawn (3) for my DS and have already reached the end f the game.

    My opinion: the graphics are better ofc. HOWEVER the story of golden sun the lost age remains THE BEST.

    What i didn't like: the battles and bosses are too easy, the only one i haven't gotten to yet is dullahan, i hope he puts up a better fight

    What i also didn't like: you can only explore a part of the world, almost the same as the first

  • @SuperDude312 there also WAY too many moments where you lose the ability to go back. plus all that talk of a continent sized bilibin but you don't actually get to go there? WTF?

    and again alex appears to be a smarmy dick then just disappears.

  • @SuperDude312

    would be great if there was a goldensun 4......

  • @octapusxft

    hehe, well i've read somewhere that one would be made for the 3DS and since the end of dark dawn had a somewhat open ending, it's possible that a 4th game could be made. I just hope it's difficult, with puzzles that aren't a joke and boss fights you can actually lose if you do something wrong.

  • @SuperDude312 Yeah the new golden sun was kind of a joke... I was waiting for the game to get hard, and then it ended...

  • @LordofDragns kind of a joke? ok maybe its to easy and it doesnt live up to the previous but still.. its a good game and a decent sequel.

  • @sshiftyp It was a good game and all... but it just kinda... ended too fast for me. It didn't have all the cool stuff like the first one or the completely open world map like the second. It was decent, but thats it. I just hope they make the next one like the first too is all...

  • @LordofDragns agreed. was a disappointment compared to the first game.

  • Man I love this song so much. Brings back good memories.

  • Such an incredible game. I had the pleasure of playing it through.

  • I wonder if this mp3 is available anywhere...

  • @reiuss23 death note is so overrated ._.

  • i remember when i first heard this....which was a month ago lol i was soo enchanted by it. i stayed listening to it for an hour..

  • The best song in all the game, this song makes me remember the good times I spent playing this game.

  • Wonder who will be a playable character in the next Smash.
