Zelda: Skyward Sword Music - The Sky

[Xcyper33]

This is quite literally the 'overworld' theme.

[m107barret]

Anyone else notice how when snare drum comes out its like jumping on yoshie except Zelda is much more grand in the approach.

[mari00123]

Imagine if the starship Mario appeared as an easter egg in the sky

[lipsinc44]

You know Link is beast when he can fly on his Loftwing with an orchestra sitting right behind him. :)

[splinnerK]

My favorite overworld tied with the The Great Sea form Wind Waker

[Philbuscus94]

Does anyone know the conditions for activating the snare drum?

[TheAwsomeWatcher]

@Philbuscus94 When your close to a monster/enemy in flight

[TheOneRebornElyrize]

does anybody else get these scary random tornadoes appearing in front of you? .. i hate it, as im actually afraid of open spaces.. :/

[AnimeStarStudios]

I always fly around till I hear the snare drum XD

[Xcyper33]

0:21 sounds so much like Star Trek

[BendikThe97]

@Xcyper33 I know, all the time I hear that part it reminds me of Star Trek

[bluetrancefer]

@BendikThe97 I wasn't sure if I was the only hearing this. xD I was thinking that or Indiana Jones, or something.

[wiltonth]

epic

[MacyPooh196]

the feeling when I get this...ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!!!

[matguimond92]

Squadela were off!!!!

SS Link:Who the hell is the Guy on the capret with a kid...with...a...hat......OMG PARADOX D:

[thebestusernameeva]

I really wish the entirety of the game's soundtrack was like this: fully orchestrated, majestic, epic, with a sense of scale and wonder, where the music alone tells you that you're in a mysterious and fantastic place. Sadly, a lot of the dungeon and region music is forgettable, and some of the boss pieces are pretty generic :\ oh well, masterpieces like this more than make up for it in my opinion.

[papermariodude101]

This was such an amazing game! Nintendo please bring the next Smash Bros. to it's full capabilities!

[CosmicLuma]

My sword pointed skyward the moment I heard the snare kick in.. <3

[Mexi525]

Oh wait this version has an ending =( I'll just go fly my bird in the real game nonstop =)

[CwapThePlatinumOne]

To me, this theme kinda sounds like something out of Star Fox: Assault in some way, especially when the drums start up.

[TheLinktwin]

@CwapThePlatinumOne - it is Koji Kondo... Or at least, I think. I'm pretty sure he had some affiliation with the composition of Skyward Sword's music.

[theirishninjas]

For some reason the upbeat parts of this remind me of BTTF (Back To The Future).I have no idea why..................

[lomlonde]

@theirishninjas Me Too!

[KennyFilmsOfficial]

1:26 - I bank left and then right as I head to The sealed grounds for the final confrontation :D epic.

[julex234]

@KennyFilmsOfficial I like diving off the loftwing into an area around 1:26 lol.

[MystFoxcoon]

This is the best use of a snare drum ever.

EVER.

(3:00)

[MrTortooga]

@MystFoxcoon I don't know you BUT GOD DAMN DO I RESPECT YOU.

[sanctanoxstudios]

This always reminds me of a Spielberg film. It is that epic

[MrMerchiodos]

riding your bird in SS is so like riding your boat in WW

[RockWarriorcats]

I just wanna hold up a sword and have some awesome majestic camera shot...Epic moment!

[04wllc]

Links new final smash? Camera zooms in on link, jumps of the stage "whistle" loftwing swoops in. need i say more?

[LinkAmaturasu17]

dis is fun

[isamu2040]

Does anybody know if this the hyrule field song backwards?

[ClimbingGrl]

@isamu2040 It's definitely not. If it is, it's in a totally different key. I'm working though this piece by ear and already know Hyrule Field (you mean from OoT, right?). I swear, some of the notes in this song just don't exist... can't figure out that damn violin melody.

[femuziek]

I would fly hours in the sky if there was this music playing ^-^

[lipsinc44]

0:00 - 0:04 : Running to the edge

0:05 - 0:12 : Flying down past the clouds

0:13 - 0:20 : Casual flying

0:21 - 0:28 : Did this cool trick in the air,regaining control of Loftwing

0:29 - 0:46 : Grand flying

0:47 - 0:58 : Calm flying

[MrSkyflycrucio]

Sounds so beautiful, but still empty without all the 'whiishhh' and 'kraaa kraaa'...

[sugarpoultry]

This is why you use REAL instruments... makes all the difference. :D

[Edduno128]

17 people never learned how to fly..

[Z3ldalover1]

I love all skyward sword songs. It's all done by the Zelda Orchestra!

[madpistol]

Legend of Zelda: Galaxy... 2

[weeeekt]

This music sounds like if it were taken from a Starfox game.

[yostoyou]

@weeeekt was just gonna say the same thing. it sounds very similar to a Starfox game

but i love Starfox too so it's double the awesomeness.

[TheTesseractor]

Playing the Minecraft Biosphere mod with this music.

[TheBiggamer64]

This makes me wanna play the game lol

[Destynxx]

@TheBiggamer64 You so should man, the game is amazing!

[TheBiggamer64]

@Destynxx tell me something I don't know

[lipsinc44]

*Link is on his Loftwing,peering at each and every island floating about*

THERE'S WALDO!!!

[ImNotHighLoL913]

i feel like starfox when i ride my loftwing x)

[MarioandLuigi88]

@ImNotHighLoL913 I feel the exact same way when riding the Loftwing too. :D

[Bexx500]

Anyone else just fly freely just so can listen to this music? No, just me? Okay..

[trickster7997]

@Bexx500 Oh believe me, it's not just you....

[AuraScar]

Isnt it a pity that you cant fly waving your sword around, or even fly a night?

[AuraScar]

@AuraScar *at night. big difference

[Lyseolia]

@AuraScar Not really, it's the first time a Zelda game respects the concept of « you rest at night for a day of adventures ».

But yeah, could have been interesting with a Ghost Island =P

[GalladeXtreme]

@AuraScar I can't understand the sword part, but for nighttime, the Loftwing's probably asleep. :3

[vapidbobcat]

batolo

[surriel1]

i never use the sailcloth to land on small island ;D (No really my loftwing just drops me :/)

[Olympusguy]

fjiiieeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'm calling my loftwing)

[MissLink]

I can very easily see this in the next SSB. Don't let me down, Nintendo

[SasukeManicFred]

@MissLink OMG! That's a good idea. You enter with fighting on the crimson loftwing, then it dumps you off into Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano, or Lanayru Desert.

[StupidWizardFilms]

@MissLink They better have Groose and Gordon Freeman too

[hypedpotential]

@StupidWizardFilms haha, good luck with getting those requests.

[KoploperMau]

@MissLink I couldn't agree with you more. But how are they supposed to make a proper stage with this playing? I mean, Brawl... Erhm... I mean the next *how they are gonna call the VS mode* must have a stage with ground... Maybe jumping back and forth on birds? A tornado now and then to jump high up? Skyloft? Although I don't think this music fits to a Skyloft stage: It has to be in the air...

Yep, enough to make for the new Brawl.

[KuroeKnight]

Amazing music as expected but nothing will ever beat that memorable Hyrule field theme but nonetheless this is a beautiful and amazing song.

[Amel6900965]

Diablox9 <3

[TheHandsomeRockLee]

So... beautiful... Y-Y

[YAM466]

Why sometimes are there snare drums ? Is it because you're very close to the Cloud Barrier ?

[mzdarkstar]

@YAM466 I thought it was because you were close to an enemy - those purpley things on the rocks that throw stones and shit at you. =O

[PipiruPiruPi53]

When my brother was flying around we song (from 0:13 ) "Cuz I'm Link! I get to do...What I want! I do what I want! Cuz I am Link I do what I want, I go around and in people's beds! Cuz I'm Link I sit in chairs!" (to 0:33 )

[mmeikol]

I called my Loftwing Red. An ode to the greatest trainer ever lived.

[matguimond92]

WW Link:K time to get somewere *Plays ballad of gales*

WW Link:FUUUUUU IM GOING TO HIGH

SS Link:Huh theres a flying red boat and a kid....WITH THE SAME HAT!!!!

[deesww]

@matguimond92 dont forget TP link and the city in the sky ^^

[PizzaHutGirl4eva]

I'm surprised no one has compared this to Disney's Up theme when they are in the sky...

[Kalnareff]

@PizzaHutGirl4eva Because it's way better ;p

[dogfight001]

Every Time I jump off my bird or the ledge I always scream: VODKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! but unlike a certain someone I got'sa parachute.

[Limelime99Zones]

@dogfight001 Hetalia for the win! ^J^

[masterchieftan827]

When I first started this game I thought it was just going to be like wind waker but with flying instead sailing haha

[link000000]

3:07 Shit gets real..

[raneanubis]

@link000000 hahaha I had a feeling it was where the beat comes in. Hell yeah.

[283leis]

Reminds me a bit of the great sea from wind waker. Super Mario Galaxy? Not sure since I havent played it for like a year when i finished it.

[Gothichick3]

I don't why but this track reminds me of studio ghibli

[GalladeXtreme]

@Gothichick3 It's because they would make an epic Skyward Sword movie if allowed to.

[MomentoiyaHalfDragon]

What is the name of the song that plays when you are in the Race? I can't find it anywhere Dx

[MBlueFlame]

@MomentoiyaHalfDragon it has the word 'ceremony'

[TheMrWesstar]

I'm the King of The Sky!!!!!!!!

[Hattakiri]

3:05 Why is there a drum version (a "yoshi version" haha)?

[hiro661]

@Hattakiri it plays when you encounter an enemy while flying.

[Troy62486]

sounds like star fox/mario galaxy

[94megamarci]

when I fly over the village and I hear this music I feel like I am the king of the sky :-O

[matguimond92]

*Link landing in Skyloft*

"Welcome to the Galaxy!

Link:HUH???

[bouchandre]

@matguimond92 WHAT THE?? I WAS LISTENING TO SUPER MATIO GALAXY SOUNDTRACKS A SECOND AGO!

[JediMasterLink24]

@BebopEffect I thought of the same thing, but when I went and listened to the Superman theme, they didn't sound quite as alike as I expected. :\ They definitely evoke some of the same moods, though.

[Idrivethe405]

Best part of this game was the first couple times you got to fly around

[SailorXenon]

reminds me of miyazaki movies for some reason :3

[TheBiggamer64]

0:46 reminds me of Banjo Kazooie

[BebopEffect]

Is it just me or does this at times hint at Superman Themes?

[wonphi]

@BebopEffect that's what i thought when I first heard this awesome music. But I sure did feel super gliding through the air lol, so it's a fitting theme. ha ha

[killa2dacore]

Reminds me of Starfox for some unknow reason.

[utsukushii1189]

simply amazing :3 u know where can i download the complete ost?

[cannoliagentx]

I think nintendo has come to the conclusion that games with sky or space settings, basically ones that have a legendary feel to them, or games that are capable of being great games with amazing orchestra music. Nintendo should be making more "off land" games!

[fannboygh]

@cannoliagentx mario galaxy 3 with mass effect/dead space graphics for wiiU at true 1080p?

fuck!!!!

[gweaterman]

this sounds like it should be in Lord of the Rings

[BlindOnigiri]

This game has beautifull music, imp its my favorite zelda..GOOD JOB NINTENDO

[fibermuffin]

The version with the snare drum is my favourite.

[jytsin46]

I don't always do my homework, but when I do, I listen to Zelda music ^_^

[777Rowen]

@jytsin46 Ha so do I, I always listen to Zelda music while doing my homework. XD

[bobtnineseven]

@jytsin46 Oh my gosh, that is exactly what I do, I'm doing it right now actually, I always take the time to read the comments though, and I kind of get side-tracked... :/

[KinameNagasah]

@jytsin46 Oh God it's like you're watching me.

[Aeroweth]

I could fly around all day to this song!

[gomes1258]

Every time I reach a save point I go to the sky just to hear this song :)

[KoploperMau]

I love the song. The only thing that bugs me is that the loop isn't so perfect as we are used to from Nintendo. You can clearly hear the song restarting! But it's a great song, so who bothers...! :D

[minicolster]

I always think of Back to the Future when I hear this.

[MLennholm]

@minicolster Yeah me to, the full orchestra burst are definitely similar to BttF, apart from that, the rest of the score sounds like a John Williams soundtrack. Somehow though, to me, it doesn't quite sound fitting for a Zelda game.

[rich20286]

@MLennholm oh hush child!

[MLennholm]

@rich20286 Well excuu-use me princess.

[xKhemical1]

Only Nintendo really takes their game soundtrack seriously.

[SasukeManicFred]

I will admit, if I had my own loftwing, it would be Sky Blue. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!

[Aiguey]

@SasukeManicFred Implying Giant lowtwings exists.

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

If I ever join the air force, I will play this when I fly.

[TrePk]

I just want to know, I don't want any thumbs up or anything just some replies maybe. But who else besides me never changes Link's name at the beginning? i mean in any zelda game

[LGDXJawsdakiller]

Link's loftwing=Ho-Oh Music=Mario Galaxy Character=Link

All of that=The Legend of The Pokemon Galaxy

[Jake123557]

@LGDXJawsdakiller If that was a game... It would have been SO EPIC!

[Pyro25100]

@LGDXJawsdakiller What is this logic? I don't even...

[Dreigonix]

@LGDXJawsdakiller Link's Loftwing actually reminded me more of Dyna Blade from Kirby Super Star (and Ultra), which is why I call him Dyna Blade.

[IcyFury4]

@LGDXJawsdakiller the music is from skyward sword

[LGDXJawsdakiller]

@IcyFury4 Oh really? Man i thought it was from metal gear solid, OF COURSE ITS FROM SKYWARD SWORD DUH!

[IcyFury4]

@LGDXJawsdakiller but in your previous comment you said its from mario galaxy.

[LGDXJawsdakiller]

@IcyFury4 What i meant is that it sounded like mario galaxy music.

[SSBFWU]

@LGDXJawsdakiller really? I was thinking in something like Star Link of the Paper Pokemon Galaxy...

[alltec10]

This is a comeback to the Super Mario Galaxy orchestra!

[DarkxEyedxAngel]

I always sing along when I'm flying on my loftwing xD

[TheTrollingShuckle]

This song gives me a nosebleed

[SSBFWU]

this theme is better than great sea from wind waker /:

it's just my opinion!!!

[kidkidkid12345]

I hate this theme, it's too epic...

I only want to go somewhere in my loftwing, that's all. Stop the music! D:

[Megakitkat111]

Ok.... I jump off Levias' back. Bird flies up behind me. Bird comes out of Levias' body??

[Lyseolia]

@Megakitkat111 Yeah, I know. Same thing on Skyloft west side where there is a Goddess chest : jump from the platform, go in front of the rock and call your bird, it gets out of the island, + hits the other rock.

Good job Crimson, good job

[otharennaur]

Loftwings are the best chocobos ever.

[KingIchigo]

When I first got out into the sky, heard the music and saw all the floating rocks, I was like "HOLY CRAP THIS GAME IS NOW SUPER LINK GALAXY"

[TheTrollingShuckle]

@KingIchigo Same here

[BoxCarBoy12]

How does Link's hat not fly off when he's flying or skydiving?

[mirokyu]

@BoxCarBoy12 Aliens.

[kidkidkid12345]

@BoxCarBoy12

Glue made out of Epona.

[WaffleDude9001]

@BoxCarBoy12 Magnets.

[StrifeyX]

Very nice song! It reminds me of Dragon Quest VIII big time.

[RDV333]

@StrifeyX That game's flight theme was better,in my honest opinion,because it felt more intimate and was conected to a very important plot point. but I like this one as well,for different reasons.

[tbskirk]

I feel like marching in a parade when i hear that snare

[H00le0]

I think Skyward Sword was lacking in terms of music. Maybe they should stick to MIDI track, but that's just my opinion.

[100vivitar]

@H00le0 i think they should have included synthesizers in the music but its still amazing

[ZeldaMusicPhysicsFan]

The flute and trumpet lines: fantastic! And the snare is not only meaningful, it makes the song so much more epic.

This is why I love zelda so much.

[Redhalberd]

Not as good as Hyrule field or Great Ocean themes but still epic imo.

[LinkMarioSamus]

@Redhalberd More or less my thoughts. Still breathtaking to hear orchestrated music from a Zelda game though!

[m107barret]

this one song should of made this game of the year over skyrim

[donkeyykong]

REMINDS ME OF FUCKING INDIANA JONES. WHY???

[dazzsheil]

I Hate the way the Snare drums are not playing all the time.....THEY ARE EPIC

[elmorox35]

The fact that I don't have a loftwing makes me furious, outraged, SICK WITH ANGER!

[SydniRox97]

Airplane music. Make it happen.

[ocarinag33k]

My BestBuy has this game marked for only 40 dollars...and that's the 25th edition with the soundtrack!

[Pshaun67]

I love when the snare drum comes in. Makes flying more epic

[283leis]

@Pshaun67 first time i noticed it was in the thunder cload near those flying enemies so i thought the snare drum was the sky battle theme. reason this was the first time i noticed it? i was never in the sky long enough to hear if before.

[Pshaun67]

@283leis yep the snare drum comes in when you near in towards those enemies

[NeoSpeedfire]

I play this in my head everytime I run to catch the darn bus.

[Buss713]

When I poop, this is playing.

[fear307]

Some reason this music reminds me of universal studios idk why lol
