Awesome Video Game Music 61: Puppet Ganon

[AndrossKenobi]

the last part of Ganon's tower would have been so epic if everything did like about 3X as much damage, but as it is, it's pretty hard to complete, but pretty hard to die... But it's my favourite sequence of bosses in all the games.

[crazywelshkid]

This was harder than Ganon himself..

[LinkMarioSamus]

These tracks almost sound like they wouldn't be out of place in FFX or Mario Galaxy.

Almost.

[Pamebeck]

Ohh that puppet! .. . ._. In the snake form.. I just did.. a random shooting.. and I did it xD

[SupahKoopahTroopah]

No top comment?? Yes! My time to shine! Um.... I like potatoes?

[Giygas1000]

@SupahKoopahTroopah you win!!!

[XXPrincessMidna]

That. Fucking. SNAKE FORM.

[LogicIsFail4100]

@XXPrincessMidna Am I the only person that thought of slashing its head with the sword

that stunned it for like 10 seconds

[victinifan13]

no top comment? seriously?

[invaderzimfan97]

who here thinks that puppet ganon was harder to beat than ganondorf in WW?

[InvaderGIR98]

@invaderzimfan97 Only the worm form, the other parts were pretty easy

[pianoace8sj]

Good game overall, but if there's a reason I prefer OOT, it's that the storyline pacing is more balanced in that game. Also it's longer. Apparently, that last cutscene after beating the game takes up about half the disk space.

Never was really a huge fan of these 3 themes though. Preferred final Ganondorf theme (atop Hyrule castle)

[pianoace8sj]

@pianoace8sj ^^ after beating Wind Waker

[victinifan13]

@pianoace8sj the story line in ocarina of time was too stretched out... ww was perfect, and had twists which is something ocarina of time didnt have

[RidleySmash]

If you get rid of the xylophone in the final form theme, you could pass it off as a pokemon theme.

[ZeldaMusic113]

@RidleySmash I totally agree.

[Soniwizard]

3:31

Meteor Falls from Pokemon R/S/E

[shahmastert]

@Soniwizard Yeah that whole part sounds straight out of R/S/E lol.

[Vhosis333]

So many awesome memories playing Wind Waker. Probably my favourite zelda game along with Majora's mask.

[Dranova2692]

his worm form was kinda hard. but the other forms were easy.

[AgentDC76]

1st form - @peanut3423 agreed, plus for some reason it reminds me of Stages 3 and 4 of Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts.

2nd form - the percussive emphasis in the strings makes this one sound very neo-Classical at times. (Makes me wonder if the composer(s) was/were inspired by Stravinsky and his contemporaries)

3rd form - Very urgent-sounding.

[Kobraxias]

Did anyone else, in their first time battling him, cut his strings with the boomerang and then think "...now what the fuck am I supposed to do?"

[swordofluminesence]

Yes, I think WW had the best music.

But you know what? I kinda dislike the dungeon themes, I mean, they're supposed to fit a quiet atmosphere and that, but, as shitty as Zelda 2 you may think it is, I think that it had the BEST dungeon music, makes you wanna go and kick some ass

[SomaXCruz13]

I just realized that the final form music is a heavily remixed ganondorf (OOT) battle theme. seriously listen to the chorus of it!

[LargeFG7777]

Personally I like the second one the most

[Gzaerix]

Of course everyone, OOT was a classic. Its music too. People can say WW had better music because they don't have the same atmosphere. OOT music, as pure classicness, earns a higher place in my heart, but WW music, simply as music, wins the medal.

[ArktonDartorix333]

who else here thinks that Puppet Ganon should have just been the final boss? i mean cuze after Puppet Ganon Ganondorf just seems like a joke. I mean my 10 year old brother used to beat him all the time, AS A WARM-UP

[Sonally4ever]

@ArktonDartorix333 Yeah, Right! I just finished replaying the game. I found Puppet Gannon to be relatively easy. Gannondorf kept giving my.....Link avatar (if you will) lots and lots of owes.

[FuzzyforGears]

Zelda is just awesome all around all of them are lol

[enkopingsbo]

1:50 the real madness starts

[Kalyrian]

@Klutzybear Same. This is the only boss I really couldent do for a loooong time.

[Klutzybear]

This is the only boss that actually gave me trouble.

Seriously, how the heck was I suppose to know that I had to use a Light Arrow on his tail the first time? >:O

[SpielkissforMe]

Where's wind waker mini boss!?

[aricente]

problem with windwaker was that ganondork was way to easy i was expecting mind fucking hard boss instaed i just got a meh

[cantthinkofaname1029]

@TheGreatWalkthrough *facepalm* How did I manage to miss that? >.>

[cantthinkofaname1029]

@TheGreatWalkthrough Eh, which one's SS again? I have a hard time telling with acronyms. 

[saldabest]

Man i always have the hardest time fighting this guy in his sanke form. HE KILLED ME LIKE 7 TIMES!!!!!

[SilverFanatic1]

I personally thought Wind Waker was better than OoT. No-one else agrees, most likely, but if you do, I'm not alone. :3

Aside that, difficult boss, great music.

[Voredragon2]

@SilverFanatic1 actually i always thought LA was better, or OOS/OOA due to having to beat both in order to fight ganon.

[AgentDC76]

@SilverFanatic1 I think the guy who gave us this vid does. ;-) For me, both have their place. WW's music, though, was above and beyond that of both OoT and MM - not saying those didn't have good music, mind you.

[2000taichou]

@SilverFanatic1 I feel ya....I played WindWaker back to back...it was that fun!!! However, the final battle with Ganon in OoT was one of the most Epic Zelda Battles ever...Windwaker's was too easy...

[AndrossKenobi]

@2000taichou And Ganon wasn't?! Okay maybe... but seriously, if Ganondorf WW had taken off four hearts like Ganon did, I know which one I would have prefered XD

[123sporefan]

@SilverFanatic1 Wind Waker is better, but the only part keeping from playing again, every time I think about it, is that damn Rupee collection quest to buy all the Triforce Maps from Tingle at the end. Tedious, unbelievably long, kinda breaks the whole flow of the game. At least they put it at the end.

[AndrossKenobi]

@123sporefan I actually liked that part of it, it gave a clear place for you to go and do all of those side quests that in OoT I didn't do until after the final battle because I was always in a hurry to get to the next temple.

[gethsoftware]

@SilverFanatic1 i agree. it was bigger, and i think the shell shading works well on zelda games.

[Phoenixdragonfang]

@SilverFanatic1 hard boss? yep, most definitely. i dont even remember how i beat him.

[ricman006t]

@SilverFanatic1 windwaker was good, the only fatal flaw that it had was that ridiculous search for those triforce pieces in the sea... no bosses, no temples, no action...

[Sapphire14701]

@SilverFanatic1 hmm, i thought Oot was better because The Ganondorf on there is very.....Fatish? i love Ganondorf, but how they made him on there it was ugly.

[AkumetsuLord]

@Sapphire14701 Yes because Evil Villians have to be good looking and slim...oh wait no they don't. That's a dumb reason why one is better than another

[LucarioAndFriends]

tp(Toilet paper lol)

[CarnageVoor]

Thumbs up if you realize that first form of puppet Ganon ALWAYS dances to the beat of his music.

Go fight him again. You'll see it.

[mrchuckmorris]

@CarnageVoor plus it's CREEPY AS FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[ZeldaCrazy123]

4 people couldn't get past the puppet snake phase of this battle.

[PvPete56]

Admit it, after 3:20 the music sounds like a song from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald :D

[MegaVakama]

second song is sooo ftw!

[OverlordLS]

I like to think that Ganondorf actually was shapeshifting during this battle and that you fight him three times in the game. We all know he can shape-change.

[IMAPKMNFAN]

@primalpalkia47 He's not a puppet.  This is just a puppet version of him.

[ZeldaCrazy123]

i love this ^ the music and everything :)

but the snake puppet in this battle is rather annoying.. :/

[MBlueFlame]

is it me,or does puppet ganon kinda copy of majoras mask

you know how it like transforms in 3 forms before the end,or in this case the final boss

[darkintensity199]

this is how it goes

ww has the best music

oot has the best story line

mm has the best game play

tp has the best graphics

there . . .

[Someonewholovesmusi1]

@darkintensity199 alternatively it goes

ww has the best ganon (boss spree, zelda bitch slap, beats shit out of link)

tp has the best items...spinner,ball and chain, double hookshots? yes...

mm has best motivation factor, MOON!, and original final boss location...

oot has best nostalgia factor and most portability (3ds)

[darkintensity199]

@Someonewholovesmusi1 its hard to say which is the best though, cause if you say one is better than another, it makes the other one look bad when in reality, they're all amazing games :-)

[xXCha0sK1ngXx]

@darkintensity199 Exactly! So instead of arguing over which is the best one, how about we all agree that they are all amazing and make up one of the greatest series of all time?

[Cheetah1251]

@darkintensity199

And then Skyward Sword combines all of them together.

[darkintensity199]

@Cheetah1251 well skyward sword isn't even out yet . . . so ...

[Cheetah1251]

@darkintensity199

Who cares? It will stil be awesome.

[supersill234]

@darkintensity199 you got it all wrong

oot has the best music

oot has the best storyline

oot has the best game play

oot has the best graphics

[darkintensity199]

@supersill234 i dont understand why everyone loves ocarina of time so much

i mean, it was a good game, but all zelda games are good (Majora's Mask is my personal favorite because of the dark storyline)

and how could you say ocarina of time has the best graphics? :P

[ThunderandSeakun]

@supersill234 Like the other said, to each their own, but while 3D games' graphics are commonly judged against OOT, I wouldn't say they're the best at all, though for their time the were amazing. I'd have to say Twilight Princess had the best on a realistic standpoint, yet my personal favorite graphics were from Wind Waker. :3

[drakemanification]

@supersill234 WRONG! darkintensity199 was right

although wind waker is my absolute favorite game, i agree with him on the other games

[mumboman123]

@darkintensity199 combine to make SS!

[GoldLightah]

@darkintensity199 mm has a better story

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

@darkintensity199 Meh.

[Disturbed4Eva10]

@darkintensity199 Switch Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time and you got yourself a list imo.

[rhapsodythebest]

@darkintensity199

And, for me, Spirit Tracks is the most fun overall.

[CODvideoPRODUCTIONS]

@darkintensity199 idk tp has some pretty good music

[RocmanRaz]

@darkintensity199 I disagree. LTTP was a milestone for the whole franchise, it defined "What story should be" in the Zelda franchinse. Link's Awakening one of the most unique soundtracks to date seeing as there were unique themes for each dungeon that were memorable. Twilight Princess goes up there with story, music, graphics and neat items. OOT was amazing for the fact that it redefined Zelda, but in 3d, it was a masterpiece yes. Majora's mask was just a reason to commit sepukku.

[MrGC9]

@darkintensity199 well, i don't think oot has a really original story line, and i don't think ww has the best music, mm best story line, ww best game play, oot is the base of zelda, it isn't the best one at anything, but at the same time is perfect in all, and tp best graphics, sorry for my bad english

[TPZPaqo]

@darkintensity199 I hope they combine all of those elements in some game after Skyward Sword.

[IRNatman]

@darkintensity199 LOL YES.

[aquaguy34]

@darkintensity199 and Skyward Sword will most likely have the best controls due to the wiimotion plus

[xlHawkeyelx]

@darkintensity199 OOT didn't have the best music? Song of Time Sun's Song Saria's Song Bolero of Fire Serenade of Water Song of Storms Nocturne of Shadow Requiem of Spirit Epona's Song Zelda's Lullaby OOT had the best music. Hands down.

[KoopaTheKollector]

@xlHawkeyelx no ww has better music at least in most peoples opinion

[xlHawkeyelx]

@KoopaTheKollector I just listed pieces that are CLASSICS in the gaming world...

I don't see how WW compares to that effectively.



[mumboman123]

@darkintensity199 I wonder what happens when you put it all together?

[fourplayerarcade]

@mumboman123 The world will combust of awesomeness So dont even think about Making a messgae to give nintendo some ideas :/

[scyther206]

@mumboman123 Skyward Sword happens.

[ragnaroktomorro]

@darkintensity199 tp is also the most epic

[kiju243]

@darkintensity199 I can disagree with that, but 'kay. You're entitled to your opinion (and those of 74 other people, apparently).

[alexdz123321]

@darkintensity199

I think Majora's Mask has the best storyline. Ocarina of Time, I just don't like so much... I don't have any clue why...

[eternalemerald]

@darkintensity199 I don't know, Wind Waker had really breath taking graphics and such wonderful vibrant colors; and Majora's Mask had some heavenly music in the temples as well as a few classic songs shared between games. All the same I agree with you a lot.

[mswelsh]

@darkintensity199 Hmm... After looking at some screenshots from Skyward Sword, I think it might be one of the best Zelda games graphic-wise.

[dcfreak222]

@darkintensity199 Switch OOT/MM and replace TP with WW (yes windwaker gets two. deal with it) and you're golden

[kickitsmooth]

@darkintensity199 I object! *remembers that im just on youtube* consider yourself lucky.........

[MrQuiggles12]

@darkintensity199

I actually prefer Wind Waker's graphics.

[TheJose3204]

@darkintensity199

couldent have said it better myself

[marioselwyn123]

basiclly the puppet fight is harder then the fight against ganon in his normal form o.o

[PurpleKazooie]

Third Form Sounds Like Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire Music :)

[MaxVlad23]

Hmm random ledges with targets on them :D

but I don't use them :,(

[JAGaudy]

Puppet Ganon: Whee!! *flys around on the ground in Snake form*

Link: *trys to aim* Damn it! stop moving!

PG: Whee!! *hits him*

Link: Damn! *fires and misses*

[StefyStuff]

the snake form one is the most fun, hardest, and has the best music!

[CansaiSurvivor]

Snake Ganon was a total BITCH

[MrCCLUS1]

the...snake.....form.....help.­....

[HaloUnderfireJoe]

4 can't beat puppet ganon on the third form

[Danielcreeper]

Epic music. I just beat wind waker for the first time! the last part really pissed me off. He kept running into me like a running away train!

[ZantFan111]

@Gzaerix It's called the Expansion Pak.

[smallsthe1st]

First part- Meh, another insane boos... this'll be fast

Second- Not what I expected, but this is thelast part, just listen to the fast pace...

Third- I'm boned... -.-

[ZantFan111]

*plays Skyward Sword demo*

*aims Remote for neck*

*Link stabs himself*

DAMN YOU 1:1 MOTION CONTROLS!!!!!!

[AgentDC76]

OOT had the best storyline although TP, MM, LttP and WW were good for that as well.

But I would agree that there have been better in all the other departments (graphics, music, play control, even item selection creativity) since the fact. This music in particular is pretty good. :-)

[KitaxNekoSama57]

WAAAAY Harder than Twilight Princess's Dark Beast Ganon!!!!

[Saphruikan]

@KitaxNekoSama57

Pssh. People raped Beast Ganon. This? You're lucky if it takes you less than ten minutes of agony.

[BritBricks]

Ganons Back! but there are strings attached........

[NefariousNevermore]

The 3 people who disliked this were the 3 different forms of Puppet Ganon.

[Metafalcario23]

@NefariousNevermore No, the three dislikes were probably from Link, Tetra and The King. Why would Puppet Ganon dislike his own song?

[SuperSketch008]

The instruments remind me of Pokemon R/S music.

[greywolf150]

Lol i could never beat gannon till i got pissed and randomly shot light arrows and hit that blue ball on his tail..... Kinda scared the shit out of me when he spazed out 0.0

[greywolf150]

Lol i could never beat gannon till i got pissed and randomly shot light arrows and hit that blue ball on his tail..... Kinda scared the shit out of me when he spazed out 0.0

[Zapalta]

@EviLBastarD77 ... because he IS an evil blue pig?... Ganondorf is human, Ganon is [to save time explaining it] an evil blue pig

[AmadeusSe7en]

Puppet Ganon! My favorite WW boss!

[dsdface]

@electricapplez if i didn't beat it,it's because i didn't want to,it was too f*cking boring

[supersonicj11]

@dsdface Play Majora's Mask. It's better than that simplistic ocarina of time. ;D

[dsdface]

@supersonicj11 i hope xD

[LatiasLatios1]

The snake one is the best

[icedcube10]

first form: meh not so hard.

second form: from not so hard to pushover.

third form: ganon must be feeding it steroids.

real ganon: great. a puppet man AND a ninja.

[creeppari]

part 3 reminded me of pokemon ruby! it has the same sounds in the beginning

[NinjaNina9]

This battle took forever and just when I was about to defeat Ganon's last phase. THE GAME FUCKIN FREEZES! UGH! I had to start all over again! -_- I still love the games though, and cel shaded child-like Link is the most cutest out of the other character designs ever! I don't care what any fanbrat says!

[LeftForPillz]

WHY NINTENDO, WHY DID YOU GIVE US PH, WHHHYYYYY!!! D:

[LuigiFan1996]

I want another Toon Link game on a console!(Not to say PH and ST were bad)

[hihkhkh]

@LuigiFan1996 PH was a real disappointment, but ST is quite good actually, if i were you, i'd play it... the story is pretty good, the soundtrack is great, and even though it starts as easy (just like PH) it gradually get's more challenging and fun to play, and the ending is a bit epic :)

[LuigiFan1996]

@hihkhkh Oh no I love'd Spirit Tracks! I actually still haven't beaten it because of the stu[id evil trains when you enter Dark Realm (and because I have played in a few monthes).

[OhNoBob]

I think OoT has the better storyline, Wind Waker has the better gameplay

[dsdface]

@OhNoBob OoT sucks

WW is da best

[timeparadox888]

@dsdface Um, don't you mean:

OoT is da best

WW is da best

Zelda is da best

?

[dsdface]

@timeparadox888 i mean that WW is da best and no other zelda beated it for now,i wait for skyward sword

[Nintendofan565]

ive said it once and ill say it again: WIND WAKER IS WAY BETTER THAN ORCARINA OF TIME

[IWannaBeThePie]

Who here has beaten this guy with three hearts besides ME? Probably a lot of people...

[timeparadox888]

Humanoid form and it's drooping head scares me...

[St3p7up]

in the description you said it was one of the best boss battles ever. but you neglected to put it on your top ten boss battles.

[vidlover987654321]

where's #60?

[retropwns]

Orcania is a great game....but it doesn't deserve BEST GAME EVER. I gotta say, i like Wind Waker better.

[MrTiagosuper]

gtkrsgniegckifdmhgkcnffjvb

[superblooper123]

i heart phase 3

[deiddmage]

his last form the fking snake was hard

[drummer4422]

2:32 - 2:42 reminds me of Pikmin.

[CoDxDx]

You know what I love about the Zelda Games?The adventure.the whole plot.the music.Damn,I Love everything about it!!!!!!!!

[beastismnes]

this was the hardest boss for me i hated it

[Reisuix]

These are the strings of evil......

[Kingofwumbo]

Ganon is very evil, but everyone knows the true villain of WW: Tingle.

He's a 30-year-old who enslaved his two brother, wears an elf costume, says he longs to see Link, and charges about 3200 Rupees total to decipher the Triforce Charts. If that's not evil, then I don't know what is.

[Kingofwumbo]

*brothers

[Mrguy891]

@Kingofwumbo I concur, I used AR just to not do that tingle crap on the second quest.

[mechadrago5]

@Kingofwumbo And he is a pedophile he was in prison Anything else i missed?

[hosepumpchao]

@Kingofwumbo And about the money, he CHARGES you money to save the WORLD... or at least the Great Sea. Thats just a dick move.

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

@Kingofwumbo The only thing that would make him worse is having to rescue him at some point.

[solblade91]

@TheSuperEricWarshot You kinda do have to at the start. When he's stuck in jail.

[Rollthebuddah]

@solblade91 Ya dont have to release him. Its just nice to release him to get the Pictobox.

[TheDflea]

@Rollthebuddah Your right; if you do it the way nintendo wants you to do, then you have to realease him; but if you know where the Triforces are then you don't need him to unlock the triforce charts; heck you don't even need the triforce charts.

[Rollthebuddah]

@TheDflea I dont even think you have to release him at all. Cos i didnt on my first playthrough and he was randomly there at his tower.

[createDXemnas]

when i hear this song i think of epicness and disturbing things because of the DA Da da da

[sarttan]

1st: Im stuck and sinking in quicksand.

2nd: Im being chased by a spider. The puppet is a spider right now....

3: A giant Lizard is chasing me through a sinking ship.

Overall: PERFECT!

[cockapoody4]

this boss is harder than ganon in the game

[regeneratorkingalt]

puppet form: kinda easy, just annoying when he punches.

spider form:simple as watching tv.

moldorm form: INSANE AS FUCKING SHIT!!!!!

[Woot831]

Anyone know where I can find just the first Puppet Gannon music?

[94Snes]

Good god that 3rd form screwed me up!

[Cannonbolt70]

Snake is more drematic than WoW music lol

[agaifi]

At first I had the impression that the timer would screw up the game, but after you get used to it and how to handle it, it's way different.

[IvoryHellflames]

Perhaps... By the way, while i don't mind being -'d, i find it fun that i got an minus for saying my opinion and thanking the uploader instead of going fanboy... Non the less, I guess you're right in the sense.. Good, but different game? Not my type though personally.

[thefanningofthebooks]

@IvoryHellflames dont ever talk negative in any way about the train the train gave me a bonew

[IvoryHellflames]

Removed the comment...Happy?..

[1w2q3r4e6t5y]

awesome espically at 3:15

[Firkantetjulenisse]

When it comes to the snake/ mold worm form, i hookshot my self up on a safe place and try shooting light arrows from there. I dont like to be hit :p

[starrodkirby1]

@Firkantetjulenisse thanks for the tip:i did not know you could do that

[drummer4422]

I loved this boss, it was extremely innovative. My favorite is probably the snake one, although it was hard as hell.

[natashaault]

i don't like this boss or the siper

i like the snakes music and the boss cause it fun to hide in a corner and not get hit LOL =P

[darkvoid1234567890]

WW was really was overlooked for its cartoon style kid like story but behind all that this and MM are still worthy sequels/prequels(?) to the greatest game nintendo ever made, further proving my point that link should be the king of games instead of that overused but still awesom italian plumber

@darkvoid1234567890

WW received high praise by critics and by now most people appreciate it
