Legend of Zelda -Wind Waker Hyrule Castle

[HibouVille]

Dang! I know Twilight Princess wasn't that great, but stop bashing it already. Sheesh.

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@HibouVille pretty much every game in the series is a fucking masterpiece, when will pll learn :l

[kledder2]

Best track of the Wind Waker. Followed up by the Dragon Roost Island theme.

[FlamingShadowMat]

I heard a a vriation of this song in other Zelda games (I think it was mostly Four Swords Adventure) but I can't find it in ANY other OSTs

anyone know what it's called??

[TheTriUT]

@FlamingShadowMat It's just called Hyrule castle, and it's originally from A Link to the Past. The same arrangement was later used in FSA.

[MadisonGaveItToYou]

This was actually one of my favorite songs in the game haha. It's so perfectly mysterious, but there's a trace of sadness in it. Amazing :D

[sophiesmilkbottle]

i actually made a second profile on windwaker when i was a kid and saved it at hyrule castle so i could play this part of the game whenever i wanted

[MushroomDisease]

I swear, when time was frozen at first, the static in the background scared me immensely.

[OgnarPliskin]

Imagine coming here and feeling that sense of ancient history, with the stained glass windows depecting the Sages and that this Hyrule is from hundreds of years ago.

And then you come back to this game many years later and now WW itself is ancient history.

[Gingrnut]

Me, upon entering the castle....: "Oh look, tons of really hard to beat enemies turned to stone... I wonder if they'll wake up if I disturb anything."

*cutscene starts* Don' touch the sword, don't touch the sword! Don't touch the bloody sword.. Oh for god's sake....

[Maxenceperron]

Nostalgia resurface as this song starts... o.o



[OgnarPliskin]

This whole place was the greatest moment in the series.

[Ramen117]

Frozen in time.......

[pumpkingirl915]

@LEONIAPOTTER96310 LOL!!!!!!

[redskins1111]

song to me means; I had a good life and wish I could be remembered for something big; but there is nothing I have to remember me and the memory of me just vanishes in the wind.....

[Grifs00r]

Like you're bound to be something you really wish you weren't, that's what this song means to me

[OgnarPliskin]

My favorite song in the game.

[nitro836]

A land from a different era...

[rurounirgc]

haha i found it funny that the moblins in the castle walked to the rhythm of this song... so i felt like doing it lol

[mirallnadal]

A link to the past better

[scroomboes]

Played this all day, 9:30 comes around, "Oh shit I have homework!!!" Puts on pause with this song in the background, got the homework done faster than I ever have before.

[Legoliner]

@LEONIAPOTTER96310 did you get that from a abridged series of this?

[aTouchOfEpic]

This game had the most kick ass music. Especially this piece, it gives a sense of dread, mixed with something that is old and forgotten... It fits perfectly, so much in fact that it almost brings a tear to my eye.

Excellent game, excellent music, its just... Perfect.

[coolravi2]

I like both toon link n normal link but I got admit one thing I love the twilight princess version of hyrule castle to the wind waker version

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

The mind of a first grader playing this:

Oh a bunch of stone guys. They can't hurt me.

*Come to life again*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, big bro! Help me beat them!

[nonsenseteam]

@AkimboNinjaPWN

Funny, in first grade I was playing the game that this song came from.

And I was manning the fuck up.

[petpettails123]

@AkimboNinjaPWN Haha, 'Big Brother!"

[AlcantaraCrisF]

@ganondorfguy101 Since Wind Waker? Since the Legend of Zelda from the eighties.

[Tkid3000]

Anyone notice that, in the tower of the Gods, King of the Red Lions used the pirate stone?

[JasonitsOmg]

When I first came here i wass truly amazed.

[lupinostar]

my mama has gone... and with this song I remenber her and think of times gone by when we were happy and together. Only memories left. I wish we will be united again.

[ganondorfguy101]

Zelda games: Beating Call of Duty since Wind Waker.

[poochieindahaus]

@ganondorfguy101 the call of duty games are nothing compared to the legend of zelda games. I dont even think call of duty is better than ms pacman

[ganondorfguy101]

@ganondorfguy101 EXACTLY! I love the classics! Pong. Brilliant. 8-Bit stuff? GENIUS.

[maxmatt4]

reminds me of the dungeon music from link to the past.

[williamfrady84]

dang. What other zelda game was this song in?

[skom612]

@williamfrady84 Are you f*cking kidding me?

[DannytheArab]

@williamfrady84 It sounds like they merged the Hyrule Castle theme from AlttP with a little bit of the temple of time mixed in.. it's like using motifs from everything great once in hyrule

[peterperlot1]

@williamfrady84 Every game with Hyrule Castle.

[putnamehere3146]

@peterperlot1 I don't think it was in OoT

[peterperlot1]

@putnamehere3146 You don't enter "Hyrule Castle". It is Ganon's tower and has different music.

[putnamehere3146]

@peterperlot1 You do go to Hyrule Castle in game, though only the courtyard. This was the part I was thinking of.

[MegaManStarForceFan]

@williamfrady84

link to the past

[marielynarutofan101]

I remember when I first played this game i flailed because this connected the story with ocarina of time! This ost also gave it a nostalgic feel c: favorite ost from wind waker x3

[picklemnstr11]

Starts out like Doll battle theme from Silent Hill: Homecoming

[redskins1111]

to me this song really illustrates how tragic ones life can be if they are lonely...

[TheMOmAzBoY]

When you awaken the monsters it seems this music just goes away and the battle music takes its place....

[PrincessZelda8234]

@LEONIAPOTTER96310 no his name is King Daphnes Hyrule!!!!!!!!!!

[ABNxGUERILLA]

i need to play this game for the 300th time now!!!!!!!!!!

[hegotaspare]

1:04 onwards... O_O

[villiewithav]

I remember going down into the ocean playing this for the first time and seeing the Castle I was like OH MY GOD I GET IT NOW!!! This game's storyline was so amazing it's ridiculous.

[LeeandJacob123]

Two people are in the Hyrule Castle brig.

[XxLost0elementXx]

Such nostalgia....feels so good.

[sexyliciousmexican]

link to the past anyone?

[queensis]

they dissided do this song for princess Zelda

[eternia15]

@queensis hyrule castle from ALTTP you meant?

[Electroma94]

Long live Koji Kondo.

[superearthbender]

@Electroma94

R.I.P. Koji Kondo.

[alv4rofb]

@superearthbender he isn't dead

[superearthbender]

@alv4rofb I was just being facetious.

[petpettails123]

@Electroma94 YEEEEEESSSSSS

[Domenech56]

Aie aie aie, que c'est bon ! :bave:

[popcornmatt3]

@TwilightTLoZ I don't understand..........

[hchavez29]

@TwilightTLoZ dayum ...did she squirt all over the laptop? that would be hot

[TwilightTLoZ]

@hchavez29 shut up

[scj8181]

@TwilightTLoZ your mom says the F word?

[TwilightTLoZ]

@scj8181 I lost my virginity before my dad.

[zoraluigi]

@TwilightTLoZ LOLOLOLOLOL Wut.

[ShadowShocker99]

@TwilightTLoZ ejaculation?

[TwilightTLoZ]

@ShadowShocker99 Yus

[thegameshows1]

best theme EVER FUCK THE ONE WHO DISLIKED ! ! !

[Farvan893]

@thegameshows1 Ganon & one of his Minions

[zhaooooOOOO]

down with toon link! up with the big one!

[derkwizzerds101]

@zhaooooOOOO down with your comment.

[zhaooooOOOO]

@derkwizzerds101 toon link has nothing to do with the true story, the magic story of Link nether do you... I am a true Zelda fan not a toon zelda fan.

[derkwizzerds101]

@zhaooooOOOO lol i was just joking. i forgot jk but im a fan of both. and yes toon link has something to do with the true story.

[Zeldarulah]

Guess Ganondorf disliked this.

[peterperlot1]

@Zeldarulah typical

[zarxproductions]

One person fell into the ocean and drowned. Poor gamer... NOT!

[Ninjastyle124]

@zarxproductions One person just disliked an over-used comment. Poor you.

[Slimshadowful]

It begins with a lullaby of all those who perished from the flood, and continues on to a lament of the former beauty the land once retained. At about 1:05, it starts out with the question, "Will we ever be saved?" And to respond, it repeats with the lullaby of all those who perished....

[Cococrash11]

It sounds like someone found an ancient kingdom sort of theme song.

[ScelesticFish]

Best game ever :)

[WTFmoviecompany]

sence the world in winwaker is basicaly islands form at the peaks of the mountains in hyrule the what island douse everyone think is the top of deathmontain?

[weirdalok]

@WTFmoviecompany

i would say Dragon Roost but i could be completely wrong.

[WTFmoviecompany]

@weirdalok You know that dous make sense since they ar both vocanos.

[nekoMimiMode04]

this song is kinda creepy...the dings kinda add a childish ..lonley feeling to it :O but thts soo nessisary since link and zelda and everyone r still children :3 hmm? hmm?

[DrStabkill]

Man wind waker was such an underrated game. I really love how it tied in the story to the original game. Twilight Princess was crap in my opinion. And Im not to excited about having to wave around that god damn wii remote for the new one. They should have taken into account that real gamers actually like using controllers. If i wanted to swing a sword, I would go outside a swing one. Psh. Games these days I swear. Great song anyways!

[Mrguy891]

@DrStabkill Dude you barely have to shake the wiimote to do an action. It's not a big deal.

[DrStabkill]

@Mrguy891 Yea but the problem is not how much you have to shake it. The problem is they havent perfected the technology yet, and it has lag time and crap. Its very inaccurate with a lot of games. I would much prefer using a controller.

[Mrguy891]

@DrStabkill Yes a controller would be better, but keep an open mind. Every game has a fault, like Wind Waker's repetitive sailing.

[PurpleKazooie]

@DrStabkill I Agree With Everything You Said Except That TP's Crap Because I Liked It But It's Definately Not The Best

[ZinWaver]

@DrStabkill You do know they have it on gamecube to, so you can play TP with a gamecube controller. Plus it looks way better on gamecube.

[TheKastenbrot]

@DrStabkill What about the gamecube version? The controls there are fine.

[WorldWalker128]

This song sounds like...a once-great pride lost, leaving only sorrow.

Which is exactly what Hyrule castle was in that game.

-

But given that TP Zelda and WW Zelda ran parallel, does that mean that Zant took over the Twilight Realm in this game and stayed a king?

[ShiKage08]

@WorldWalker128

No, because the events that lead to Zant's reign didn't happen. Otherwise, you would have seen Zant's rule over the ocean over Hyrule's past. If such a thing were to happen, things wouldn't have just blown over and everyone turn into spirits without knowledge of what happened, like in the Twilight Princess, since the Triforce is what turned Link into the wolf. After Link's obtaining of it in Wind Waker, he too would have become a wolf, but this didn't happen.

[youarebob]

@ShiKage08 dude did you ever play twilight princess? the triforce didnt turn link into a wolf

[ShiKage08]

@youarebob

Yes, it did. O_o When he entered the Twilight, the Triforce of Courage on his hand glowed and then he transformed.

[youarebob]

@ShiKage08 ah yes your right....momentary lapse of sanity my apologies.

[KoronofHearts]

@WorldWalker128 I see where you're comign from, but no. In the Adult Timeline, Ganondorf has already broken out of the Twilight Realm. Reemmber that Zant was only able to become King because of ganondorf's soul's help. Without it, Zant was merely the town idiot and schizophrenic. Midna's family would still be in power.

[GoldenDasiy]

i usally like dancing to this song it has that sound that makes me wanna dance

[lastblade3]

i loved every single thing about this game, the gameplay, the music, the dungeons, the enemies, and the humor. but the one thing that i could not deal with: having to search for the triforce pieces.

[HuntingLuigi]

1 Person Doesn't Like THIS!

FUCK YOU PERSON THAT DISLIKE THIS

[henkman00]

@HuntingLuigi

yeah dont you just hate that person? i see him/her hate stuff all over youtube and sometimes he/she brings friends :P

[HuntingLuigi]

@henkman00 yeah it gets annoying 

[TheCMVE]

@henkman00 Who do you mean?

[henkman00]

@TheCMVE

no-one I'm kidding. you see this guy talks down to a person who disliked this video, so i joked that this person goes all over youtube disliking video's.

[RickyMario7]

My favorite remix of such a nostalgic tune!

[ChrisZeldaFan]

I just took a dump listening to this song... Most epic dump EVER!

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

damn i forget about this!! such an awesome tribute to Link to the past

[Omnimatrix10]

2 miutes and 6 seconds of epicness.

[LalsMK91]

When I listen to this, I am reminded of the bravery of the Royal Family. Let it not be forgotten what they did! Ganon is now rising, and you should all bask in this songs good spirit, for it is of importance that bravery is brought to the battlefield! Go now, brave warriors! Fight the evil!

[cartrifride]

@LalsMK91 NO THUMBS UP FOR YOU FAGGOT!!! HAHAHAAH. lol.

[Dyv4bkz]

@LalsMK91 I think you might be taking this a LEETLE to seriously. You know it isn't real right?

[LalsMK91]

@Dyv4bkz What do you mean?

[Dyv4bkz]

@LalsMK91 Heheheh... ^^ Nothing deary...

[UltraKirby25]

Hey cool Hyrule Cast-- OGODNOSTALGIAMUSICBOMB O-P-O-O-OOIJOJNKVGDFGHDFTGEDV

[randomdude581]

Ifyou listen closely when the castle is still frozen it plays very quiet creepy sounding music.

[Dyv4bkz]

@randomdude581 Yeah... I used to think it was Ganon's footsteps...AH!!!! so I'd always tip toe around because I was so afraid :P

[Kisarez]

Most beautiful moment in Wind Waker in my opinion.. The castle being still and in rest, the atmosphere was very special and after the epic battle, the transformation and coming alive of all the creatures. And a shame that the castle met his end again when it drowned again. The flooding was so impressive. This game had other emotions than just joy or fear.

[RamboZelda]

I always get goosebumbs at 1:30-1:53. Now if they would only orchastrate this song with real vocals. That would be incredible.

[Macauley1514]

what part of zelda link to a past was this at

[ShiKage08]

@Macauley1514

Hyrule Castle. O_o

[GDarkGoombaG]

@Macauley1514 THIS IS THE WIND WAKER NOT LINK TO THE PAST.....

[Macauley1514]

@GDarkGoombaG no this song was on link to a past

[strifey07]

@GDarkGoombaG The actual tune is basically the same as a Link to the past though! :)

[hendrixnava]

I will admit, however,that by god if this song doesnt feel like a funeral dirge just a bit, like a replay of an old favorite as a send off to someone who was truly loved

[mijzelffan]

When I first got here I was all like, "I know that music from somewhere". Then I realised it was from a link to the past. I went to get my brother to show him this in excitement.

I love this remix from it. It kept its uncanny feel, but also sounds sad.

[bubblelink47]

message the site to me too.. i want this song.

[George91280]

Great song, but its a knockoff of ALTTP's Hyrule castle

[hendrixnava]

@George91280 of course it is. ...is that a problem? its awesome in its own way, i would almost say seperately from AoL(but not quite, its the nostalgia and memory of Aol in it that makes this song hit so much harder). its got a different feel, less proud and heroic, more regreful and guilty, like someone remembering their greatest moment in life, when they where in their prime, and thinking about how they let it slip through their fingers, what they could have done to save it, you know?

[hendrixnava]

@hendrixnava but at the same time, smiling a little at the great things they did back then, crying at their own nostalgia and past heroics. and that is why i think this song was perfect for hyrule castle in WW, because it personifies hyrule at that point, someone wondering how everything could go so wrong, so awry, and wishing they could change it all, take it back, but at the same time, accepting that they are done, and that there is nothing left to do but wait, reminisce, and be forgotten. T_T

[hendrixnava]

@hendrixnava and because of its truly having a personality and soul of its own, i say LONG LIVE HYRULE! no matter what the state or incarnation, we will always remember you, and know you not for the hero you were, but for the hero who you truly always are! NEVER SAY DIE! LINK AND ZELDA FOREVER!

[zeppelin1996]

@George91280 All the Zelda games use songs from other Zelda games. This is also the castle theme to Twilight Princess. Personally, I like Wind Waker's version best.

[ZYX305]

I think a part of this theme is from Link to the Past :/

[alizeld]

@ZYX305 all this theme is from "a link to the past" this kind of songs are just for fans than know where they come from

[Finstahy]

I love the music in this game as well as Oot and MM. It's kind of sad what they did to TP though. That game completely fails as far as music goes when compared to other games in the series. Everything is done in a midi. While I know that they did that in this game too (I think) they did it right. They tried too hard in TP. I love that one kind of feeling that's put into the sound in this game. Everything just sounds so crisp. I don't know how else to put it.

[xdiz]

@Finstahy

false. proof end.

[shapeworkstudios1]

at the begining it reminds me of temple of time theme in oot

[DUBASEO]

Does anyone know that this tune is actually from link to the past? They made it so much better in this game though.

[iwannabethekid34x]

god I love this game! It makes me want to play Oot so fing badly!

[FlamingHotKittens]

:D this is the same music as ALTTP

[4kenji4]

@FlamingHotKittens yeah ^^ now they always use it in hyrule castle^^

[Lyf3isM1s3ry]

I thought they made a new theme for spirit tracks?

[DeeCiii]

this part of the game gave me such nastalgia (sp?) that i went back and played OoT

[traggicshame]

Does anybody know what music mode this is written in?

[sim288]

One of my favorite themes from one of my favorite Zelda games. 5 stars!

[rickyy863]

esto es caca

[Edwardsina]

so very nostalic..i ran around inside the castle only to hear that songe...the same for molgeras battle theme :D

[4kenji4]

@Edwardsina u know whatz funny ? i played wind waker through like 20 times and i now i dont even remember molgera at all XD how weid

i should lay off the beer and other grey cell killers

[Edwardsina]

oh my....XD ..unbelievable

[Darkspinesonic77]

Is wind waker in the primitive futer or something?

[sonicandmariorulz]

well it's set right after ocarina of time... so not really. i'd guess it's in like, the 1500's or something close to that.

[AlfredoFreak]

Hourglass was very fun but a portable version of Wind Waker would be awesome. I can totally see myself playing this level on the go.

[OgnarPliskin]

I want to come back here someday...

[Harveys96]

This song reminds me a lot of Link to the past.. good ol' times!!

[pjsmoulder]

me too! so pleased when i heard this start up playing ww for the first time. was like being home...

[DezuReborn]

Damn, I love it!

[MutantRancor]

How did they fit so much emotion into one piece of music? It just says so much about Hyrule, without saying a word.

[zipposrevelation]

Yeah, I know. It somehow captures that frozen eerieness without losing the majestic nature of Hyrule.

[sethisawesome]

well that is the point of music, but yes its a beautiful piece

[EndarkenedXiao77]

@MutantRancor Agreed. I was so sad I couldn't go farther outside of the castle, made me think so much of Ocarina of Time ;~; I was like, BUT WAIT, WAIT, I WANT TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING LOOKS AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE LAND OUT THERE TO GO SEE *whack force field, WHACKWHACKWHACK* It was actually a little depressing to see all of that land out there...and NEVER GET TO SEE ANY OF IT.

[thegameguy1127]

@MutantRancor thats what koji kondo does

[UbuntuLee]

Link to the Past was the best, period.

[Fluffymagic77]

nah no boss key in dungeons..

[houndoom1234]

I was like maybe I can sneak my way out of here, then I was like fffuuuucccckkk...

[jgalvan100]

memories

[FireEmblemLaguz]

I ♥ diz game. itz so fun and the music is awsome. but OoT and Tp had the best!
