Zelda: Skyward Sword Music - Stalfos

[LaVidaClay]

This music makes me want to do some crazy European dance, it does not seem like Stalfos battle music. LOL

[ComboLeafster]

THEY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB WITH THIS MUSIC

[ogr2]

Oh my!!! The stalfos in this game are way the most difficult of all the zelda games I´ve played before xd

[TheBiggamer64]

only noobs use bombs...

[InvaderGIR98]

All the standard easy enemies from earlier Zelda games were TOUGH in this game. Stalfos, Deku babas, Skulltulas, Bokoblins, all them were HARD!

[Shirley7923]

@InvaderGIR98

I agree on you for all of them except Bokoblins.

[WhimsicalWhimsicott]

I really like conducting this music... The marcato... The oboe..! Forgive the terminology, I'm a musician, you see.

[PieStealer]

@WhimsicalWhimsicott I love conducting this song too! It's in 2/4, right...? That's how I've been doing it :P

[WhimsicalWhimsicott]

@PieStealer I can't say I know... It sounds like 2/4, but it might still be 4/4. Actually, I noted the possibility of it being written in 1/4, and that sounds like it would really work!

[3minuteAdventures]

@WhimsicalWhimsicott @PieStealer It could even be in cut time if you concentrate on the tempo and march fell of it

[takashimomochi]

@WhimsicalWhimsicott It sounds like it's mainly in 4/4, but there are parts that throw in a random 2/4, like at the end of a melody.

(just be happy int's not all 3/4 or 12/8 with randomness thrown into it)

[theirishninjas]

4 Dislikes.......I guess each stalmaster arm has its own laptop as well as its own sword

[ComboLeafster]

@theirishninjas Usually I hate those kinds of comments... but good one

[TheZeldafan789]

i like this other guy with 4 arms (sorry forgot his name) when he attacked me with his 4 arms i was like wtf general Grevious O_O Link forgot the sword you need a lightsaber and the force :D

[Shirley7923]

@TheZeldafan789

Stalmaster I think

[Vicethehedgebat]

The 4 dislikes are the 3 Stalfos and Stalmaster!

[Raicun27]

The Stalfos and Scervo have some of my favorite music in this game.

[ConcreteDuck]

It's weird. This version seems to be the only one on youtube with the drums balanced with the rest of the music. In the 12-minute version, you can barely hear them, and in the one called "Scervo" the drums overpower the rest of the music.

[FeSoren9]

When link was fighting the the stalfos in SS he was wondering if he could upgrade his bombs too

[Bobchillingworth]

Stalfos: skeletons possessed by the spirits of vengeful Oompah musicians.

[UrngLemon]

@Bobchillingworth I laughed HARD for a minute straight, you just made my night

[RuthC1710]

These guys really were a pain in the arse!

[mehlover]

I loved the music when fighting the Stalfos, this made me keep hoping to run into a lot more Stalfos.

[roostercogburn190644]

@mehlover lol me too

[Colination138]

took me 2 tries to defeat the 3 in skyveiw temple... i used bomb flowers:)

[TheDutchGame]

I really liked the battle agains the 6 armed stalfos in the Floria Waterfall temple. (or Fishtemple I forgot the name lol)

[superstarman9001]

@TheDutchGame Ancient Cistern, and are you talking about the miniboss or the boss?

[TheDutchGame]

@superstarman9001 Mini boss

[superstarman9001]

@TheDutchGame Okay, because the six arms bit confused me. The miniboss only has 4 arms, but you probably know that by now.

[TheDutchGame]

@superstarman9001 Oh right it were 4 arms. Sorry i thought they were 6.

[XxGaleAlchemistxX]

*enters battle, and calls fi* "Target lock: Stalfos" *hears how absolutely epic tune is, sets down wiimote and watches link in stance* "Thank the Goddess for Nintendo"

[TheNintendoFan621]

four dislikes must be one stalfos with four arms

[Abipom11]

..and I thought 1 Stalfos was hard...

[Homestar98]

@Abipom11 Tch. They're NOTHING compared to the Stalmaster! I had to use bombs.

[KennyFilmsOfficial]

@Homestar98 i didn't even on Hero mode :D

[evilwatches]

I didn't master shield bashing until the final boss, so you can imagine the joy of fighting 3 Stalfos.

[awesomelegomadness]

I really love the melody @ 30

[Sigma5656]

I fight 3 whithout problem but is hard 3 in same time !

[josephhowarth]

This music is almost identical to scervos theme

[RandyAndRickyMakeLPs]

This is my favorite music in this game, by far. It's like an elegant battle!

[lacario1995]

Never use a sheild when fighting stalmasters, didn't they teach you to evade their attacks then go in for the kill?

[crystalphoenixalpha1]

Stalmasters were a royal pain, but it truly is humorously satisfying when they trip over their own skulls upon being beaten!

[Randomest672]

Those Stalmasters were the worst. The first one I fought, I had the best iron shield and the best wooden shield, and he broke the wooden one and nearly broke my iron. I'm never shieldbashing these guys again.

[rainsnowguy13]

@Randomest672 I never once used a shield when fighting Stalmasters. I was too worried that I'd get mauled while trying to equip one. :P

[WiiMario035]

@Randomest672 Shieldbashing them is pointless because you can only hit him once before he recovers.

[TheJamiam]

The 3 stalfos were easy, didn't take one bit of damage from them. But those stupid stalmasters, my god i wanted to kill myself.

[nintendonut999]

After I made it through the first temple a second time (which I thought was a great idea from the game developers), I realized I had to fight three of those boneheads. Yeah, that was challenge I didn't see coming.

[DileDude92]

I am so glad bombs don't kill Stalfos in one hit in this game. Seriously, that's why they were a joke in TP and took absolutely no effort.

[MrDarksword123]

*Fighting stalmaster in first form*

Me: Ok a slightly different looking stalfos, same concept though, nothing too difficult

*Stalmaster reveals general grevious form

Me: Oh shit...

[metaKnightSpamer777]

@MrDarksword123 Not grevios, its cortez!(pmttyd)

[Sonally4ever]

@MrDarksword123 Stalmanster: Attack Link, I am well trained in your skyknight's techniques and discipline. Muhahahaha......

[TheBurpable]

this song reminds me of Ratatouille... the game xD you too? or is it just me... aaahw, never mind. I LOVE IT! (Skyward Sword (L) )

[marioandluigi76]

Ultamite6warrior7 i didnt take any damage like a boss

[jumpingflash21]

This song is pretty lively considering your fighting the undead.....Also reminds me of Dragon Quest VIII

[Abipom11]

why do I get a wallace and gromit vibe from this?

[shoocharu]

3 stalfos disliked this

[DrMcMario]

@shoocharu Why would they dislike it when it's their music?

[shoocharu]

@DrMcMario cuz they loose

[DrMcMario]

@shoocharu They beat me like...once.

[TheBiggamer64]

my third fav battle music in this game.

[sh4d0w2013]

The first time I fought the stalfos in the skykeep triforce of courage area I was like bitch please then I get to the stalmaster in the next room I am like OH SHIT! zombies, once I beat him and realize I only took 2 hearts of damage I continued to the next room with that bitch please attitude

[shoocharu]

all you gotta do is, go backwards while you charge you sword, and then you...uhhmmm...point at them..? its hard to say...

[MrFrodoF]

Link has a pair of iron coated testicles

[MrDarksword123]

That stalmaster can kill you very fast on hero mode if you are not careful, that quadruple slash does 4 hearts

[MrCrossoverer]

makes me think of a epic battle dance with swords in some kind of opera or something

[ThePreciousThing]

Kill them with fire. or Fi in any case.

[MakerOfSpartans]

@ThePreciousThing I stole it!!! (Your name)

:D

[ThePreciousThing]

@MakerOfSpartans Oh goddess! Six times

[MakerOfSpartans]

@ThePreciousThing :D

SIX, Really?

[MakerOfSpartans]

@ThePreciousThing It's because we really like what your name stands for!

It's like a knee jerk reaction for me to respond to a reference of something epically? awesome within a video of music from another game that is also awesome.

Kinda like finding out that the girl you like is also a hardcore gamer.

why, Why, WHY DON'T I MISS YOU... LISTEN, HYAAA!!!

-lol

[mrvoorhees96]

this really reminds me of old russian music for some reason.

[ZeldaFreak1987]

*fighting the group of Stalfos in the second trek through the Skyview Temple*

*kills two of them before noticing bombs*

*ignores bombs because swordfighting them is awesomer*

[JGDawg1]

@ZeldaFreak1987 Bombs? What bombs I was busy stabbing those guys in the ribs.

[Sonally4ever]

@ZeldaFreak1987 Bombs? What bombs? there were never any bombs in that chamber.

[superstarman9001]

@Sonally4ever Some of the jars in the room had bombs in them.

[Tacosruleandstuff]

I'm not usually the type to go onto youtube for a song from a video game, but I fucking love this game's soundtrack. Koji Kondo and the rest (whose names are harder to remember) are awesome.

[mzdarkstar]

Thinking about the Stalfos in SS compared to OOT, with this music they sound SO much more epic in SS. I love fighting them just to hear this great orchestral piece.

[moonbeast32]

This song, and this song alone makes me as a trombonist wish he was a part of the recording symphony

[TheEternalOtaku]

i have a sudden urge to cossack dance.

[TheAnimefreak0789]

I remember fighting the 3 stalfos at once I got owned the first time but I came back whoopin ass :3

[zmdiscovery]

This is the music that plays when I envision myself battling the popular catty girls in my school...and winning.

[LpLink589]

wieso ist alles auf englisch! :-/

[XDTobi252]

@LpLink589

Weil Englisch die Weltsprache ist und auch Menschen aus allen anderen Staaten Zelda Skyward Sword spielen.

Niemand kann Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch, Spanisch etc... zusammen, daher hat man sich generell auf eine Sprache geeinigt: Englisch. Das gilt generell und ich glaube du weißt das schon. ^^

Deshalb wird Englisch in Schulen gelehrt, daher kann man eigentlich das Meiste verstehen.

[AaaronioD]

@XDTobi252 Ich bin ganz froh dass ich in Holland Englisch, Deutsch und Französisch in der Schule gelernt habe! Ich spiele ab und zu auch mal Zelda auf Deutsch! Das macht auch viel Spaß!

[ObtuseLolcat]

does anybody else keep thinking the logo is getting closer to the screen then realizing its not moving?

...maybe im crazy...

[raneanubis]

I never got to hear this theme, I beat them too fast you see. *folds hands behind head and reclines... on a stool with no back :(*

[Aeroweth]

I've never liked a boss theme like this one.

[Deathekid6790]

I only remeberedthis music



[KillaMOX]

3 dislikes? Must be the 3 Stalfos you fight at once.

[imdemonfreak1779]

@KillaMOX now there's 4 so that's means link disliked too

[chuggaafanroyn64]

@KillaMOX looks like the four armed one joined them XD

[Ultimate6warrior7]

my friend got owned by the three stalfos. me? i took 1 heart of damage

[GilvaSunner]

@Ultimate6warrior7 Please print a photo of a gold medal and affix it to your chest.

[Ultimate6warrior7]

@GilvaSunner XD

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

@GilvaSunner God, that is awesome how you comment on your videos.

[P4W3R]

@GilvaSunner better two medals, one for being that way and another in case he loses it.

[GoateeMan]

@GilvaSunner Uh, all you have to do it keep moving backwards and not miss your slashes?

[KnucksDaBomb]

@Ultimate6warrior7 I fought them and had three fairies and died. ON NORMAL MODE.

I didn't get hurt once on Hero mode. DAFUQ?

[Ultimate6warrior7]

@KnucksDaBomb XD

[GalladeXtreme]

@KnucksDaBomb You have learned well from your master, young padawan. But in this case that master is you...

A winner is you!

[crfstewarje]

Fighting three Stalfos at once = epicness.

[WalrusEternal]

Reminds me of fear! No...battle? No...guy with an acordian? YES!!!

[NegaZero64]

I remember fighting the 1st Stalmaster. FUCKING...BITCH!!! He kept breaking my sheild with the move where he slashes 4 times.When I beat him, I said: "Fuck the end of my blade shit!!"

[ButtobiKatobi]

@NegaZero64 There is something called shield bash XD

[NegaZero64]

@ButtobiKatobi

I could never sheild bash that well at the time...=P

[Jake123557]

Fighting Stalfoses (or whatever) would have been scary, hadn't it been for this music.

[SecretiveSpyDude]

@Jake123557 Although the drums and trumpets make the battle seem faster, they make the fight that much more comical. I agree with you there.

[WiiMario035]

@SecretiveSpyDude The drums in the background make this soundtrack OVAA 9000 times BETTA!!!

[xXAmmyIssunXx]

i played this song while watching a video of two people riding Arabian horses across the desert.

WIN.

[RegnatorWolf]

at the beginning it sounds like the old godzilla soundtracks :3

[KumaOso16]

I was listening to Nightwish's Scaretale and it reminded me greatly of this song. Both of them have parts that sound like they're straight out of some demented circus.

[MakerOfSpartans]

Then Ed and Rolf have another deathmatch of "That's My Horse"

[Lucariogamer14]

@MakerOfSpartans Next Time I watch Eddy VS Rolf Fishslap, I think I should put this music on.

[KennyFilmsOfficial]

@MakerOfSpartans Haha! win! :D

[schofy87]

This is probably one of my favorite pieces of video game music ever! The way it is able to convey a sense of sheer terror while also somehow feeling lighthearted is sheer genius. It really makes me feel I'm trapped in a room with something that is deadly.

[TheBiggamer64]

this theme is so good.

[pingasluigi25]

Has anybody else noticed that the music slightly changes when you have your sword out or you're Z-targeting?

[MrChileanDude]

@pingasluigi25 yea

[TheRRfilms]

In soviet Russia Stalfos shield bashes you!

[mymuffinnotyours]

Stalfos, Stalfos . . . everyone's a Stalfos now.

[OddGuy23]

@mymuffinnotyours

Everybody will become a Stalfos. Everybody Stalfos.

[BerserkerLemon]

i play this while i do my homework

[Joshawotter]

Oh, man... I seriously think the Stalfos fights were one of the best parts of the game!

[SloppyxJoe]

This song and battle are two of the most epic things in this game thus far.

[porcellusstudios]

@SloppyxJoe Have you fought Stalmaster or Scervo yet?

[broncovols]

It's Stalfos on steroids, except for the pirate ones on the sand ship and in sky keep.

[Sonicisawsme]

Does anyone else hear this theme slightly when fighting the Stalfos in the Horde Battle?

[Okapi540]

@Sonicisawsme I think I noticed it too.

[CountBleck222]

I wish this theme played more then it did because Skyward Sword didnt have that many mini-boss battles which was a shame :(

[Lyseolia]

@CountBleck222 Just go in the Skyview Temple to redo the mini-boss. That put aside, yes, a shame >_< I wonder why they didn't put a « Ennemies Rush » with the Boss and Silent Realms Rushes, it would have been cool =(

[Dalektopia]

It's Aracha...not Arach...cute little one eyed scorpion babies...looking like Facehuggers...

[KennyFilmsOfficial]

am i the only one that thinks this music sounds almost like jewish music xD or is it just me?

[RedAKAii]

Stalmaster denied all my shield bashes. qq

[TheBaehrClan]

I was hoping for some Darknuts in Skyward Sword.

Eh. Oh well.

[irelandcool1]

@TheBaehrClan Actually you could considered Koloktos to be a darknut taken to the extreme

[ElvenSpartan777]

@TheBaehrClan me too

[TurquoiseStar17]

@TheBaehrClan

The way they used Stalfos in this game made it pretty much the 'Darknut' of the game. It's the toughest enemy to beat.

Think about this - in just about every 3D Zelda, the very last enemy you fight before the final boss is always a Darknut or equivalent. In this game you get 2 Stalfos last thing.

[MBlueFlame]

@TurquoiseStar17 what are you talking about "just about every 3D Zelda"

it only happened in 2

[TurquoiseStar17]

@MBlueFlame

You know what, you're right.

I was thinking of OOT's Iron Knuckle also, but that's not the last one. But I seem to remember Minish Cap too, that's not 3D of course.

[MBlueFlame]

@TurquoiseStar17 yeah the darknut before final boss only happened in wind waker and twilight princess

[Sonicisawsme]

@MBlueFlame Uh, Ganondorf's part of the final boss in OoT since there is no break in between. As for Ghirahim and Demise, you're meant to go right in the portal after Ghirahim, so yes they're both the final boss.

OoT, WW, TP, SS, ?PH and ST?. Do Phantoms count?

[MBlueFlame]

@Sonicisawsme are they called darknuts?......i think not

[HyperHoundoom]

Congratulations! Your Arach evolved into Moldarach!

[Lucariogamer14]

@HyperHoundoom I think Kargarok (Those Monster Birds from Wind Waker) evolves into Helmaroc King, and Magtail (Those Fire Bug enemies from Dragon Roost Cavern) evolves into Gohma.

[Sonicisawsme]

@Lucariogamer14 But Kargaroks are also in TP.

[Sonicisawsme]

@Lucariogamer14 But Kargaroks are also in TP.

[Lucariogamer14]

@Sonicisawsme I know But I mean they look exactly like the Big bird that kidnapped Link's Sister.

[Linkhyla]

@Lucariogamer14 Gohmas are way older than Magtails (well on the games timeline)

[terralink115]

@HyperHoundoom Link:O_o......shit...

[dalektaliban]

that awkward moment when you meet a boss outside of the dungeon

[Billysan291]

This song gives me flashbacks of Dragon Quest VIII.

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

1:10

[metaKnightSpamer777]

this would work for scaldra.

[jacmcd7]

Doesn't make me think stalfos... But it makes me think of like carnivals, or like something that would play at a circus act...

[roshipower]

ironically the hardest fight in this game for me was the triple stafos battle and stalmaster battle

[Mugenman90]

@roshipower Funny that. The Stalmaster was the only boss that I died on (so far). And I died 3 times during that battle. o.o

[rainsnowguy13]

In Skyview Temple:

*walks into mini boss chamber*

*Stalfo appears*

Me: Oh crap oh crap oh crap

*music plays*

Me: ...um...

[ZeldaFreak1987]

I'll admit, on the Pirate Ship, he handed my ass to me a couple times. XP

[SparklingPeanut]

Skyview Temple First time: "Cool a stalfos! His attacks are kinda easy to deflect though...Meh he's just the miniboss." Second time:*Goes into boss room* "There's a boss? Well it can't be that other guy... hmmm...!!!... HOLY CRAP THERE'S THREE!?!?!?

[jmario232]

I like how I go into the shipyard and start unearthing whatever was buried in the sand only to find an old foe back for revenge. I did not see that coming at all.

[OnAChairSitting]

@jmario232 It wasn't the same one : /

[PieStealer]

After hearing how awesome this song was on Youtube, I was excited for the Stalfos fight... but all you do is wave your sword around, so theres no skill involved and you can't hear the song that well anyway... :(

[EpicLuigi24]

@PieStealer Then you must be getting lucky. Really lucky.

[anomalocarlos]

@PieStealer Try fighting the Stalmaster and then tell me there's no skill involved.

[CaptainSenchou]

@anomalocarlos Stalmaster was pretty easy too.

[Dawgz4]

@anomalocarlos imo, it was more about timing.

[heiliczer]

@anomalocarlos don't get me started about the four-at-once stalfos fight.
