Chrono Trigger - Zeal Island

[XxDeadlyNinjaxX]

I love this song

[Jaimes13z]

If paradise truly exists, this is the music that would play there. :)

[HUmarFeatures]

Favorite Theme

[MauuRoH]

Wow! i´m going to buy a SNES right now! i love this game, i took me one and half years to complete it (all endings)

[MyloDude22]

@MauuRoH

This game is the only reason why I still have my SNES lol.

[eagleshadow1234]

Stress relief

[G3LEBEL]

This palace is objectively BY FAR the most epic place ever created in the video game history.

Amazing

[Nabo00o]

If you think about it, Magus experience with his sister Schala is just like in the movie 12 Monkeys, a time paradox. He is a witness to something terrible in his youth which affects him and causes him to act differently in the future. When he then chooses to travel back in time to take revenge he finds that he is partly or mostly the cause!

A terribly shortened version of what actually happens I know, but I see a resemblance ...

[2HornDogs]

@Nabo00o i agree with that somewhat but I dont think it could have been helped, Schala would have still been feed to lavos because of the queens lust for power, regardless if Janus went back in time i also think the ocean palace is in ages ahead, deep underground the earth before you even know about it in 12,000bc, it only becomes the black omen out of threat to her survival, I think the most troubling part to him is there's nothing he can do about it, like it must happen for time to exist.

[TwadFeu]

i absolutely love this tune. one of the most memorable game music i know.

[Link504]

Whenever I look outside at say...6:00 in the morning, this song is what pops into my head.

[MyloDude22]

This song makes me feel so enlightened.

[toocool3]

A have been humming this tune since I played the game as a kid. Awesome song that will be in my head forever! Kinda like the old mega man songs!

[BrokenPuqqet]

I used to play this midi to fall asleep at night..... good times

[IHYDdimo]

i almost always get chills listening to this song.

[wickedlady4180]

Mmm...Vegeta...er, I mean Magus....*drools*

[abhitron]

Was anyone else upset when the beautiful floating islands fell from the sky?

[PureBlackMetal]

I wish all floating continents of majickal mysticism, everywhere, had this theme playing in the background.

[acelino]

i so remember the first i reach to this place, the scene looked graphically amazing at that time, and let alone the music, this seriously marks one my most precious moment in life~~

[HarmonySword]

Someone missed the like button. i guess they don't understand true music :(. but when i first reached this place, my mind was in heaven for a second :D

[gerisboyle]

This game is riddled with alternative history references.

[SuperQueenShay]

AGH! The most amazing theme music ever, I swear!

I hadn't even played Chrono Trigger before I heard this song, and I LOVE IT!

[KhPharos]

this was my first favorite rpg game that i've played when i was a child... i played this on the nintendo+ufo where you can insert a diskette on games.

[safersephiroth50]

This game was deff one of my favs man good times..

[chuguru]

I got serious chills the first time I played through Chrono Trigger and reached Zeal.

[DarkSunGod]

This was definitely my favorite part of chrono trigger

[Lucky1ooo]

love this theme music

[furryfan420]

konata healing springs

[wimplo897]

im not sure why but this by far was my favourite song out of the hole game

[LeaShishiza]

Same here

[Hendrix1326]

@wimplo897 It sometimes makes me cry to listen to this song, and I am vaguely reminded of past lifetimes lived in Atlantis, which the story of Zeal is modeled after. Perhaps you were also in Atlantis, or perhaps Lemuria, and this song pleasantly reminds you of those past times spent there.

[H3TCykaCT0]

@Hendrix1326

Bro, where do you get your weed? Plz, I must know!

[InfiniteAbstractions]

@H3TCykaCT0 No weed, just a lot of philosophy and studying the principles of the universe.

[Darkstepper219]

@InsomnicNarcoleptic

Fuckin A! I hear ya......just to think...I spent literally years playin this game. I must've fallen asleep to this like a billion times.

We were all raised by Machines, and ourselves.

A whole generation of techies, masturbators, and ravers LOL

[reinkaoz666]

check out armcannon on myspace... they do a metal cover of this song... its fucking amazing..!!! their also in my opinion the best video game cover band..

[BlackAce12324]

Magic Song, The Song of Kingdom Of Zeal ...

[BynineB]

Every note of this theme rings with the delicious melodic sound of pure concentrated win.

[LiShinden]

very good!!

like much theme music

[mugenhonda13]

i wanna cry !

[TerryMFNCourageous]

Nostalgia, my old friend.

[InsomnicNarcoleptic]

when i had this game, i turned on my snes before i went to sleep and went to the zeal island just to hear the music play.

I'm suddenly set 10 years back, i'm feeling dejavous all over XD

[hexennacht]

@InsomnicNarcoleptic I am with you 100% on this!

[InsomnicNarcoleptic]

geweldig spel, niet?

;)

[2TheDeath]

one of my favorite songs from this amazing soundtrack.

[Jorn6810]

Best game ever!

Everyone need to play... This was such an epic adventure! Music is outstanding

[DerrickJMitchell]

music happy, ayla happy :D

[mzhang07]

The memories!

[nintendodork4]

this song was posted on my tenth Bday

[iblistech]

This theme is out of this world. Yup, it's epically awesome, along with the other themes from Chrono Trigger. ^__^

[ineternitypast]

also my favorite song from the game

best RPG ever, they need to make a sequel

[mzhang07]

I loved this song T_T.

[FullmetalninjaDR]

this game is prolly one of the best out here....and this however is my favorite song on the game

[Srtarlet]

So glad to find this song.. It has been years since I've heard it and it really brings back memories of this awesome game. I play MMORPGs now (like WoW) but this game will always remain my absolute favorite RPG of all time.

[Hayato1992]

i always cried when i reach this place because of the inner beauty

[jjimbo215]

care to elaborate?

[Hayato1992]

whats there to elaborate? there is no explanation needed. you can enter one place and it touches you right there inside. Zeal is one of those places

[jjimbo215]

Oh. Your original comment didn't come across that way. I had no idea you meant inner beauty as aimed towards your inner feelings

[a1r2h3m4]

This is my favorite music in the whole game. Thanks for making the video.

[Jiggaman3225]

how sick was this game, just sick wicked and nasty!

[DieHardMF]

Epic.

Wut made this even more epic (imo) is when I accidentally opened up another window with this playing. There wuz about a 21 second difference in the videos. It just sounded awesome.

[Phaloss]

This iz one of the best song in the game. i think

[ludachad05]

ive been playing this game on a modded xbox with a ton of snes games. i just got to the zeal kingdom and this song was so awesome i had to look it up. there are a ton of great songs from this game

[1o2o3e]

the best song from chrono trigger....

[xtrabigs]

Reminds me of time when purity and innocence was enough to believe in moral fibre.

We have work to do...

[DieTowerDiv]

Mitsuda is a genious... danm!

[WolfAcquamarina]

"This is the eternal kingdom of Zeal, where dreams can come true. But at what price?"

"Am I butterfly dreaming I'm a man? Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of sashimi? Never assume what you see and feel is real! "

...masterpiece...

[toktokk666]

@WolfAcquamarina You're actually a goat.

[DerrickJMitchell]

@WolfAcquamarina water summons wind, wind makes fire dance.

[brodiger]

this is such a beautiufl song I love it

[darkluor]

I loved those games, very well designed, despite the very limited technolonology available back then, I wish those developers could do the same with today's games, only a few ones get to this point, like Shadow of the colossus

[breadrack]

This is the pinnacle of what is possibly one of the best game soundtracks for any 16 bit game. This, done by Squaresoft, is only rivaled by the likes of Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu and Final Fantasy 4 & 6 (2 & 3 in USA, respectively). The first time i heard this song i fell in love with it. I didnt even care about the game i just wanted to hear this song over and over and over! hah :) love it

[skypfry550]

When I die, please play this tune at my funeral. It's way too blissful. I just wanna be there....

[MegaKnuckles777]

Zeal reminds me of Angel Island. The music is also really different from anything I've heard before. It's... awesome!! :D

[wheresmahshiv]

I never even played Chrono Trigger until a year ago, and even in this era of incredibly realistic graphics and orchestrated music, reaching Zeal for the first time was one of the most breathtaking moments I can remember in any game.

[agentmulder77]

sleeeeep goblin, just sleeeeeeep now.

[indefinitecure]

@wheresmahshiv I completely agree, the first time I arrived to the kingdom of Zeal is one of my fondest moments of video game playing (if you say it like that)

[indefinitecure]

@indefinitecure ****(if you CAN say it like that)****

[AssafBarash1]

@wheresmahshiv i feel so much like what u describe.

[BrokenPuqqet]

Yea this game is a work of art

[DerrickJMitchell]

@wheresmahshiv Real games like this is rare to come by. thank your lucky stars youve got the chance to play this.

[enlighteneveryone]

@wheresmahshiv lol I had the same feeling. And I played this back in 10 grade recently. Heck, just played Final Fantasy 7 a year ago. These games are just...true to the soul. Chrono Trigger touched my heart beyond any game though.

[dergru]

masterpiece

[gorillapenguin]

This reminds me of a chrono cross song, i'm not sure which.

[JayFireweaver]

I wish Zeal hadn't sunk into the ocean. I miss Schala though, she's my favourite character even though she wasn't playable.

[pronetocrash2]

Gosh,I wanna play this game again!

lol

[Onimbus]

one of my favorite pieces from any video game.

[sabre691]

I have the original cart so no flaming on having an emulated version of this. I still sometimes turn on my emmy version and leave it playing in the background while I do work.

[casanovafly2000]

u know i thought i was the only one who did that lol!!!!!

[neo12344]

isnt it called coradoirs of time?

[dharmaseed]

This song has kind of a Hindu feel....note the tablas iin the background.

[PAMuffinMan]

I love how exotic it sounds. Really fits how the city looks so alien, despite everyone being humans.

[Melancholical]

one of the greatest pieces of music ever created

[Ghosttalker1]

Music like that is pure magic to me... A soundtrack like that was a part of the game not an addition... Something went wrong and most of all those games nowadays are only money melking machines... They have no soul...

[JonathanClement140]

Reminds me of my "First enlightenment"

[dharmaseed]

Was it Nobeo Uematsu who did the music to this?

[JonathanClement140]

I think he helped some, but it was mostly Yasonori Mitsuda.

[RaionBot]

prolly my fave song of chrono trigger, would sit on the menu screen just to hear this song

[Isikari]

I just played Chrono Trigger for the first time (I know, I kind of missed the train on this one) and it is hands down, the best RPG i've ever played. Even with the occasional help of a walkthrough it had a minimum of 25 hours gameplay, 30-40 without. Simply amazing.

[Skulderian]

now try getting all the endings.

[saintjulesmusic]

Amazing song :D!

[believeinjake]

great song, had a dream one time of being in a place called zeal and this song always took me back.

[lukaspukas1]

Too bad that Zeal (the epitome of beauty, technology, and evolution) had to sink into the sea due to the carelessness and stupidity of mankind. Magus knows that better than anyone.

[margrietx]

Wow. One of the best pieces in music, ever.

[phuturephunk]

Great theme, very memorable from when I was a kid.
