Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword: Secret Song in Reverse (Zelda's Lullaby Easter Egg)

[FuryfighterX]

Something is telling me, some people has a LOT of free time on hands xD

[TheLukeTurnbull]

1.39 Catch the golden snitch harry !

[XDTails]

@TheLukeTurnbull You made my day.

[hornherodog]

Any zelda fan that is a musician heard that....

[Nejiofthefunk]

Fi looked so different in the original trailer than in the actual game.

[Sembiance]

No link to the original trailer?

[tommy91110]

Skyward sword is the sonic generations of zelda

[flamingskull4]

Mind... Blown...

[alecyo12]

loz has such great music you can play it backwards and it will still be amazing

[shadowdudeguy1]

did anyone see skull kid from majoras mask at 1:42

[MisterM2402]

@shadowdudeguy1 Holy crap, no, I didn't! :D

[xSlayerKid101x]

Wow... Your kind of imploding my mind right now...~Groose from Skyward sword

Thumbs up if you like the reference and agree...

[tronni666]

First heard in A Link To The Past

[DontEatTacs]

Theirs a spirit tracks reference in skyward sword, after beating the thousand year old scorpian for the first time (moldarch, i think) you are in a room that looks like the main track tower from spirit tracks.

[gpoop23]

There's actually some symbolism behind this.

Well, either that or Nintendo just got lazy again. Take it as you will, Ballad of the Goddess is pretty damn catchy either way.

[Gazisawesome]

there is another version of this song in mabe village, in link's awakening.. more of a happier, cheerful tune though.. 

[JohnAtDawn]

My mind, it has been blown.

[SirProcrastinate]

That's so freaking cool.

[LEAD1654]

It was in alttp first.

[LEAD1654]

Zelda's lullaby was I

[SheakuKente]

WHOA!! do you think they did that intentionally?!

[VortxGamez]

@SheakuKente maybe so everybody can notice, or they were just too lazy to write a new song LOL

[mario11168]

@VortxGamez I'd say it's crazy to be able to make a song and have it sound like another song altogether when played backwards. The stars must have been aligned that day.

[teru88]

@SheakuKente YES. xD

[FunkJews]

My sister says I look retarded when I play this game :(

[MotionStopMan]

@FunkJews all sisters say that

[thehondarebel]

I heard link say shit at one point.

[creeperqueen5000]

that's so cool

[beban10]

The Ballad of the Goddess is the backwards version of Zelda's Lullaby, you hear the original backwards its really fun

[bobaethan]

There playing classical music that we all know and learned and even attempted to play on our iPhone ocarina apps. There trying to mess with our minds and make us like the game better by putting it in there...

[DrunkenLink132]

Uhm, hello, that's called melodic inversion? Skyward sword I mean. It's where you take a melody and flip it backwards. Makes for some interesting music.

[GLaDOS16]

I couldn't gonfim it but you just took a load off my shoulders

[facecade5000]

the legend of zelda series is WAY better with secrets

[ps3boy345]

mind = BLOWN

[katanarieka]

Did link say the s word?!

[Groooossmann]

You know, Zeldas Lullaby is older than Ocarina of Time, because in "A link to the past", it's the "You find Zelda"-Theme.

[zeldafreak2232]

how do you get the hylian sheild so early

[TheSupermanbanjo]

@zeldafreak2232 Most likely he just didn't pick up heart pieces for a challenge, and done the lightning challenge for the Shield when he could.

[TehAaronful]

@TheSupermanbanjo Nope! You can see him activating a slash lock in the temple, the lightning round happens ALOT later in the game, this is a trial, they must have given it just so ppl could get a good look at it.

[Samphie7]

A fair bit of effort must have been put into making Zelda's lullaby backwards a tune that works on its own; especially since they made it to main theme standards and made sure it still sounded like the original when played backwards. Impressive.

[zomglindsayy]

link said shit lmao

[xXxChapinxXx]

I think Nintendo got lazy and couldn't think of a new song.

[coolpiggy100]

omg

[pandazatthedisco]

Maybe they were just lazy to come up with a new song.

[johnsnism]

i sence some lazynes nintento! lol

[Masterpicher]

@johnsnism why should this be lazy? I mean it's a song that works both forwards and reverse and you practically get two almost completly different songs ^^

[mebeBrianna]

@Masterpicher i agree. i think its genious. i never would have guess it had i not stumbled across a video of the entire trailer first forwards then in reverse. blew my mind

[johnsnism]

@Masterpicher you dont get irony -.-

[Samphie7]

@johnsnism You mean sarcasm? Also, those types of nuances don't translate very well into text unless written with that boundary in mind. From what you wrote, you could have meant it to some degree, though if you paid the music a complement of sorts after like "In all seriousness though it was pretty clever" or something, then people would understand you weren't being too serious with your previous statement. Sorry, had to get it off my chest, people I know keep arguing for reasons similar. :|

[zeldafreak701]

Well no, it was actually first heard in A Link to the Past and was titled Zelda's Rescue.

[4thReich420]

hahaha it first popped up ten yesrs ago looooool, zeldas lullaby came out in a link to the past on snes, thats over 20 years ago. just saying

[hellwolf09]

what you shoudl of done is played it normally then in reverse

now i have to go find the normal trailer find out what normally sounds like .-.

[Dareigan]

"About fifteen seconds into the video, this is what you hear."

Link: SHIT.

[marcoroncato]

woooow!!!



[cookechris28]

One does not simply ring an ocarina!

[killuax12]

I already knew I only saw him by Hosius

[DeCeEntertaiment]

krasss...



[floppykid]

Pity this game sucks compared to the other Zelda games.

[missnintendochick]

its like the song of healing! O_o

[WiiFusion101]

I dont have to learn the Skyward theme song since I know the lullaby on piano... I am going to make a music sheet right now and play it backwards.....

[Dez26]

That song was in a Link to the Past way before Ocarina of time. Kids these days.

[TheFatal05]

@Dez26 oh fuck off, Doesnt make u special because you played a game with pixelated graphics. ( I played it fyi )

[Dez26]

@TheFatal05 I'm not saying I'm special.

I'm just saying that song doesn't come from OoT not does it represents the game in anyway. It's been around for longer than that. I don't like it when people don't get their facts straight.

And... why exactly are you being upset at me again?

[newxid22]

@Dez26 yeah but it they named it zeldas lullaby so it kind of noticed more in ocarina of time

[LenaAndriani]

I just went and played this repeatedly on my piano, it blows my mind every time

[SLOANHOLTBY]

How could anyone not recognize the song! ahaha

[Lynk4Lyfe]

I didn't know this =D

[NARUTOADSAGE]

this game is fucking awesome

[PangXiongMao]

how do you ring an ocarina...?

[RareDude493]

@PangXiongMao Apperently have Zelda call you

[Excalibur5k]

@PangXiongMao very carefully

[DarkLuigi4321]

actually zelda's lullably was in a link to the past

[jakelong858]

@DarkLuigi4321 and ocarina of time

[masterchief6888]

@DarkLuigi4321 And in ocarina of time.

[hairybeary1000]

I'm pretty sure this originated from link to the past

[Links64ocarinas]

SteelandSouls15

YOU KNOW IT!!

[MrKevinramos93]

WOW!!! I havent noticed this until i saw this video!!

[TheArtificialGaming]

Things Like this will remind me of all the fun i had when i was a kid. I will always love Nintendo!!

[Frenchcanadian100]

Haha Link said sh**

[JoelCorpOfWindows7]

sub great vid =)

[nicbenskychase]

oot was advertising skyward sword since 1998

[mrshmukPS3]

sounds likelazy music people

[DanimalCollective]

dude sounds like Dan Savage..... so I subbed :P

[philippehanna96]

I knew this song reminded me something!

[wardenclyffeslate]

So does that mean that forwards the song is the song of healing?

[InsomniacMatt]

First heard in A Link to the Past when you rescue Zelda from the prison at the beginning of the game

[shauf6]

WHAT THE?!?!

[Mad4cheese4ever]

Whoa...

[ShadowChaosKrystal]

i saw this video and immediately subscribed

[GameXplain]

@ShadowChaosKrystal Yay! =)

[thedarkeggplant]

I have to say, the game went downhill when Nintendo tried to put LOZTP in with WW... But the concept of the game looks fun ^.^

[UltiMasterlord]

Lol. They often do that. In Majoras Mask too. The first song you learn there is some song from Ocarina of Time but in reverse xD

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

Zelda's lullaby. First heard in A Link To The Past. The game that turned me onto the Zelda series.

[linkpwnsevery1]

there's a zelda timeline now it has been released!

[jamahl]

this song is even older, first heard in ALTTP, when you meet zelda for the first time in the dungeon

[tokamoro333]

it is called a retrogade

[hootllum]

yup this prooves it. Zelda music is good no matter what direction it's played in n_n

[ThisPersonSays542]

Is it just me or did Link say the S word at 1:02

[TheMegawolf17]

@ThisPersonSays542 lol out of all words he could say, he said that.

[thedarkeggplant]

@ThisPersonSays542 IKR I heard that too!

[1Kimkarina]

Wow, I didn't know that :o

[SpankyMcGrits]

0:50 for nostalgia overload

[TheArcticFoxWarrior]

so whats the big deal? ballad of the goddess happens to be zeldas lullaby in reverse

its a nice touch considering people are calling this the best zelda game since OoT, the connection makes long time LoZ fans know that nintendo still wants to show the "link" between LoZ games in a pretty awesome way... lol i said link ^-^

[beterbomen]

Turns out it was the second one.

[soderp94]

TRIPPY

[XxAngiexXRPI]

that's cool how they hid her song in there. Twilight princess also has zelda's lullaby as a song needed to be howled by Wolf link :3

[twimanable]

yeah i have to admit... IM FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW

[Mr1BILLYBILLYBILLY]

Mind = Blown

[Rodrigo00]

ASIAN CONSPIRACY!

[musicsoulhaysgrl]

Wooahh. :O

[Templer1066]

Nerd Alert I say !

[mw2awesome2]

[mickygarbagecabron]

[RafalGrygorowiczVids]

Lets agree zelda games are the most magical and beautifull games in the world.

[CupTheGlass]

Oh BIG N VERY SLI

[TheDirectorsOfASS]

[AngelbeatzTM]

[xXQendiXx]

[zeldaxsiempre]

[RodsVideos]

[mariof1b43d]

when this video game came out I knew nintendo was trying to hide something I just did not it was going to be this

[tukwhy099]

AAAHHHH SPOILERS! MUST AVERT EYES

[kingdohe]

When I heard zelda orcaina of time lullaby my head started to move side to side oo

[Rainbowjellyishh]

Blows my mind every time. ahahaha, i've seen it like 15 times xD

[OguriOfMari]

i am offically happy

[Trifource3]

I knew this from a gaminformer magazine

[orasion64]

This guy's voice will haunt my dreams tonight.

[Alxmir23]

u can also hear some part of hyrule field(of ocarina of time) in the music playing after you cleared a boss room

[glubschpudding]

OMG, my mind has been blown!

also, at 0:32 link says "SHIT!"

[Darktoonlink88]

@glubschpudding

No... No, he doesn't.

[glubschpudding]

@Darktoonlink88

yes he does. are you deaf?

[Darktoonlink88]

@glubschpudding

You need A LOT of imagination to hear shit out of that.

[kittythingy713]

@glubschpudding i was playin the game yesterday and my friend pointed out that he said DAM and SHIT while slashing his sword

[SteelandSouls15]

a true musician manages to make a beast song forwards AND backwards

[guitarirltbh]

you awnser is: the guys just thought hey this also sounds awesome backwards so lets use it.

[xxxjjj596xxx]

@DSCAccount Look at zelda wiki, go to skyward sword and go to trivia, it says it there

[xxxjjj596xxx]

@DSCAccount im not saying just THAT, i love the video, the game and the music, but in order for it to play zelda's lullaby, zelda's lullaby has to be played backwards.

[xxxjjj596xxx]

Skyward sword theme Is just zelda's lullaby orchastrated backwords

[DSCAccount]

@xxxjjj596xxx

why the fuck would you say that in a video that explains exactly THAT? and also, you're wrong. Skyward sword theme backwards is zeldas lullaby. theres a difference

[zRawki]

@DSCAccount i don't think the SS is zelda's lullaby backwards, because for one thing zelda's lullaby was created FIRST............. soooooooooooooooo, there ya go.

[luaMcBlox]

1:08 Link says Shit.

[kitesova]

i heard link say shit when he got hit by the spider

[Sokulski]

Woah! xD

[cedoxi]

maybe its just clever or lazyness

[dobikoobi]

@911Arnav i am not try to be mean or any thing like that, i am just asking. when was it posted?

[jamesliebone]

Who would have known that Zelda's Lullaby backwards would sound so good?

[Hinatachan121]

Wow

[Quasarmuhammad]

WOW!...

[tdivv41]

@TVJilt HAHA, not quite bro, just the first 6 notes.

[GameXplain]

@INFERNO95 Umm, I don't work for IGN...also, LTTP is one of my favorite games. I made a mistake; that's all there is to it.

[Hyde1415]

@INFERNO95 You're a douche.

[FourPartPlan]

@INFERNO95 >Gaming Past

>1995

HAHAHAHA

FAGGOT

[MasterUnicorns]

@INFERNO95 pretty balsy reply for someone who's channel is full of favorited "up-skirt" videos.....

[sebastianbryan15]

boogers

[zeldazack54]

to say there isnt some kind of connection in all these games is just ridiculous.

[shadowslashful]

Wait so let me get this straight..... This song going forward is actually a song going backward, meaning that the song going backward is a famous song going forward, meaning that if you play the famous song backwards, you get this song going forwards. I love confusion.

[UnfundedUnderling]

You should record a whole lets play and reverse the entire thing

[GameXplain]

@UnfundedUnderling We call those "Game & Watch" around these parts sir! ;) Seriously, that would be pretty hilarious though. We'll have one (probably of the normal variety) the day the game comes out =)

[superplatformers]

@GameXplain um no, game & watch was an old nintendo system... whatchoo smokin' bro?

[GameXplain]

@superplatformers I know :) That's why we called it that, but now we Game while YOU "watch"--see what we did there? ;)
