It's strange being in a fandom so long that you see things that used to be common knowledge get lost to the sands of time.

Like Twilight Princess has started experiencing the Zelda Cycle in reverse which rip, so there's been a lot of 'in defense of Twilight Princess' videos on YT recently. And something I'm seeing most of them say is "yeah it would've been better if they orchestrated the music, and they should have."

Which is absolutely baffling to me. That was one of the big things about Twilight Princess when it came out. They tried to have the soundtrack orchestrated. They wanted it orchestrated but they were told no. That's why Skyward Sword was such a big deal! Skyward Sword did get the orchestra. They said they finally achieved the dream they've had since TP by having the soundtrack orchestrated.

It's so wild to see that knowledge forgotten.

#like do people not remember why there was so much hype around the zreo announcement and release of the Twilight Symphony Selections?#am I just old????????#idk maybe I'm just thinking too much or smth #been getting so many TP retrospective and analysis and video essays recs on YT and I just been watching them all #I feel like I gotta dig up those interviews but I swear I read one in a Nintendo Power magazine and trying to find that is gonna be rough #Idle Thoughts #obviously this applies to other Zelda games too. There's a couple MM and OoT theories that just don't exist any more and it makes me giggle #I've also only been around since between OoT and MM NA release time frame #Makes me wonder what og og fans that've followed Zelda consistently know that we don't
