The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time OST~Fire Temple (Islamic Chant 1998 Version)

[machogrubba14]

sort of adds a little creepy element to the song. not sayin muslim chants are creepy its just like putting a smiley face on a creepy song, theres nothing wrong with smiley faces, but when you put it with a creepy song, you get a creepy effect.

[jacskel689]

I have this version, I think. Didn't know I had the original version...

[ZeldasMusic]

Well The Lyrics Saying about only one god (allah) and all those its just a chant idk how its offensive other than the fact its in a temple of fire which probably is offending in some sort of way but if it was put in another temple i dont think it would be as if putting it in the fire temple

[thecomingofchrisit0]

why would muslims get offended off of this song i don't understans?

[knucklesfan8]

@thecomingofchrisit0

Its not just the Islamic religion, Nintendo would cut it no matter what religion cause they don't want to associate religious elements with thier games.

[CheesyPastaFilms]

I got that on my Gamecube version

[MrMaliceValentine]

damn muslims whinging D:<

[AhmedHazuki]

@MrMaliceValentine please be a bit more respectful at least :) please?

[cosmoeskimo]

ISLAMIC YEHAAA!!!!

[MisledTrick]

How did the Japanese get Muslims to record this? :O:O

[CorporalDogmeat]

@MisledTrick It was probably a stock audio sample that they bought.

[NoGripRacingGTR2]

@MisledTrick Paying them?

[MisledTrick]

@NoGripRacingGTR2 Well that was money well spent. Money that could of funded another temple. :D

[gatchAttk]

There was an article awhile back that said the removal had nothing to do with the ethnicity of the song. Apparently the original development team had both songs originally but no one knows why they changed it up because they've all gone off since this game was made.

[FireBurst180]

creepy chanting

[HylianMovies]

@FireBurst180 Well they chant unlike Indians they use their chants longer instead of hui hui hui they use it ay weya ya ay wey ya pin hy ma na

[CorporalDogmeat]

Does anyone know what the chants are saying? Or at least what they mean?

[TheManUnitedFTW]

@CorporalDogmeat

It is "Allahu Akbar", and somehow I can also hear the "Shahada" in it.

[CorporalDogmeat]

@TheManUnitedFTW Wow.

[MarioMario753]

This version, with chants, is just so much better than the unoriginal one. It sucks that they removed it. I mean, how could they get offended? I'm christian and I didn't get offended when I saw Dampé the Gravekeepers ghost with a halo! It's the same thing! Kinda ...

[lordlotor]

I didn't even know there was a version that DIDN'T have this... Guess I had the 1.0 cartridge or whatever

[CaptainXxDUCKxX]

I wonder what they're saying...

This version is kinda scarier, don't ya think? But completely badass in every way. lol

[dazzsheil]

I Think Zelda and Mortal Kombat Suffered the Same problem.....Censored on Nintendo

[TheFearl95]

I LOVE the chants! It makes it so much more... EPIC!

[Linkandro]

EPIC.

[Shadowdwellerblake]

I find the idea that nintendo would have any kind of emphasis with any real existing religion FAR from believable. -_-

[AronAgmar]

This is beautiful! It sends chills down my spine! Imagine if the Shadow Temple would have had something like this!

[uetzel]

i actually prefer the one without the chant o_O

[Shadowdwellerblake]

@uetzel me too. I think the chant add-in makes it sound like crap. :(

[ObviousCharging]

This isn't in 3ds version, :/



[dazzsheil]

@ObviousCharging

I Know that

[Ilharess84]

It's amazing! :D

[cheeseonmybacon222]

i have the rare gray cartridge with this and the islamic emblem on the mirror shield

[Grikkle]

@HRLobo12 FUCK YEAH, you have the original 1.0 or 1.1 cartridge of the game, congrats dude ;)

[supercrapnstuff11]

@HRLobo12 what color

[TheInfamousIceman]

why is it offensive?

[ripejak]

beautiful and captivating

[DevinFilms66792]

In the brain In the brain In the brain In the brain DOOOOWWWWNNN YOU areeeee

[Huneiyue]

I don't find it creepy.

I like it!!

I find it majestic... :)

[o0tanzaniano0]

whoa... it's very... i can't describe... it gives me the creeps!

[malaka6967]

apparently people believe the zelda game has been based around the whole illumanati theory. since illumanati is portrayed as a satanic cult this would be believed as mocking the muslim race by chanting allah in the islamic language. it might even show that the islamic chant is attached to the fire temple which is a challenge that needs to be overcome during the game

[ChaosBlast123]

this isn't a chant it's more of a calling for prayer but i mean it loops around a bit, the words that come out is: "in the name of god, the benificent the merciful" and "god is the almighty"

[ChaosBlast123]

wow, that actually creeped me out, i myself am a muslim but i don't understand why exactly this chant was used in the game, (im actually quite happy that my favorite game used a muslim chant XD)

[dazzsheil]

@Rudern98 You must be Austrailian.....or European like me

[dazzsheil]

Whats odd is that Nintendo acctually cut the music before 1.0 and 1.1 were even realesased,so.....they must of had public outcry before the game came out.........so why wasnt it changed for 1.0 or 1.1,because its not because of islamic outcry even though Nintendo got outcry before OoT was even out....its really confusing......according to this the only real version of OoT was 1.2?????? So what about 1.0 and 1.1??????????? ITS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!

[halowars1324]

I don't understand why this was cut in the later versions, I mean, aside from muslims, the others religion are not that touchy concerning chants. Why do we hear Gregorian chant in Halo and the Muslim chant in Zelda, but only the one get cut? That's ridiculous.

[OverObsessiveNekoBoy]

I actually prefer the Master Quest one. This one annoys me

[Yomamma1338]

I think the Gerudoes being islamic is quite fitting. XD

Muslims seriously need to grow up and stop playing games they don't like.

[WanderingJudith]

98 version was better. I liked the older stuff that got cut out and I hate the replacement Gerudo symbol too. If the producers were going to replace the offensive stuff then I think they should have done a better job of it.

[Futuristicplayapimpn]

sounds illuministic

[Dwml]

i am by no means racist, but do muslims have to be offended at everything that even mentions their religion?

[Dwml]

[SlitMouthWoman]

Ceepy!

[dazzsheil]

@SlitMouthWoman

At least,more that the 2003 version

[SlitMouthWoman]

@dazzsheil Sounds like something from Resident Evil.

[Tsugimoto1]

Is there an original recording of JUST these chants? How did this get to be in Zelda? I just want to find out more about this, and what the hell went on between Nintendo and the Islamic people that saw to this song's change.

[dazzsheil]

@Tsugimoto1

i belive it was offensive to the muslims as the chants wre to allah

[Samiam10100]

Good thing I have the first version with this, it makes the music and game better. It also has Ganondorf puking out red blood, not green. :)

[dazzsheil]

@Samiam10100

For some reason.....Nintendo like to "Kidify" thier games....like Green blood no Islamic chants.......Nintedo think that even though your stabbing a guy with a sword is ok but RED BLOOD ISINT???? WTF NINTENDO?

[Samiam10100]

@dazzsheil Yeah! I know! I have the version of Ocarina of Time that's right after the gold cartridge. So it still has everything good :) Green blood, different design of the mirror shield, different designs of stones to push, different song for Fire Temple, are all stupid changes in my opinion.

[dorsh]

@dazzsheil I'm sorry, dude, but you're wrong there. Not all versions of OoT show green blood, that's the result of the localization process, which in some countries prohibits showing RED blood, so what they do? Show GREEN blood instead. I believe this NO blood policy applies in Germany and other countries, but in Chile I perfectly remember playing a version where blood was RED.

[dazzsheil]

@dorsh

thats Version 1.0,The one most people had was 1.1

[dorsh]

@dazzsheil Ok, I didn't know that, but I think you are missing the point. Nintendo does not have a "policy" of "kidifying" games. I agree with you that you may see it that way, but the main reason why they do it it's because they want to save problems for developers and problems with other important markets. By doing one version, a "kid" version, they save a lot of money. That's the main reason why they do it.

[PuccaXGaru4Evr]

@Samiam10100 same here ^^
