The Great Sea // The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003)

[links-gender]

A list of Zelda songs I’m hyperfixating on, and why

The Great Sea (Phantom Hourglass verison)

- The part where it goes Ab - G minor - C minor SLAPS so hard, Istg sometimes I listen to this song only for those 5 seconds

-Idk I just love that part, it makes it different from the WW version - more nostalgic, in a way? It feels like… traveling. Being on an adventure far from home, and having fun yet missing the way things used to be

Dragon Roost Island (Wind Waker)

- A rhythmical masterpiece

- This song stands out for being both energetic, catchy, nostalgic, wistful, a little sad, and happy all at once

- Obsessed with part where it goes G minor - F - Bb . Maybe it’s because it finally breaks free from the G minor - F that we’ve been hearing up until this point

- I don’t have the musical vocabulary to explain why I love this one lmao. Rhythm is energetic and bouncy, flute/melody is soft and based on long, soaring notes. They complement each other so well

Hytopia (Tri Force Heroes)

- Embarrassingly enough I heard this one for the first time just last week

- I particularly love the beginning, and I love the instrumentation! The accordion fits so well to the vibe of a cozy, medieval village/town (I’ve never played tri force heroes, idk anything about what hytopia is like 🤡)

- It stands out as a very original/easily recognizable village theme but maintains some important elements from the Kakariko village theme! The guitar plays a figure that’s similar to Kakariko

Eagle’s Tower (Link’s Awakening)

- I’m pretty sure my favorite dungeon theme from this game is the Face Shrine, but this one has been stuck in my head way more recently

- It’s so eerie! While Face Shrine is as well, Face Shrine is more sad and dramatic while this one is just plain creepy

- Maybe I’m biased because I enjoyed playing this dungeon very much (I’m p sure I jumped back and forth between floors waaay more than necessary though 🫠)

- It’s like Link is just going through the motions at this point

Lanayru Mining Facility (Skyward Sword)

- Mmm yummy musical texture

- I can’t tell you what instruments are playing but I can tell you that they’re really satisfying to listen to

- I don’t care for the horn that comes in a few seconds in, I just love the mallets (???) and melodic percussion

Molgera Appears + Molgera The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Historically inspired darknut! This drawing was intended to just be a quick little doodle as a bit of a brain reset while working on a fierce deity drawing but it ended up being a lot more complex to render than I expected, even still there's some details I didn't include that I'd like to so I'll likely come back to this one at some point. For the design I wanted to incorporate elements from all iterations of darknuts. Most of the armor is inspired by twilight princess's depiction though I included the cape as a nod to the original legend of zelda as well as the knight's crest from windwaker which I adapted into a 14th century inspired plaque belt! Both the sword and the helmet I went my own route for, the sword being inspired by both the Dacian Falx as well as some of the two handed falchions depicted in the Maciejowskie Bible, overall going for a spiky "bad guy" look (or to @phoenix-arts7 's eye a cheese knife XD, can't unsee that). The helmet is based on a European "frogmouth" jousting helmet which though not being particularly practical for foot combat gives a really cool and intimidating dehumanizing effect that I always felt darknut designs were trying to achieve! Hope y'all enjoy!

What are your favorite Zelda soundtracks? Or main themes? Or both? 👀

In general I love so many of them, I literally have a deep love for the Zelda soundtracks, I think they are all very beautiful, but these are among my favourites!

I love some versions more than the ones found on Spotify, but this is the list of the ones I love the most

I also like some from HW, Aoc and Botw but my favorites remain these!

Thanks for asking! 💖

Did a small animation of WW link! just finished the game and I like it so much🥲😇🥹

[lilly-pilly-art]

My tafe studies be over! Now with fire in my belly I've charged ahead for a new animatic project that I'm committed to finishing. NO JUST DAY DREAMING. THIS IS BECOMING REALITY! SO HELP ME. Here are some teaser/sketches of the project. Underworld: Wind Waker This animatic is from the perspective of Wind Waker Ganondorf. Being haunted by the consequences of his own actions. Aka women be mad because I brainwashed them and lost to a 12 year old, should of got that kid when I could of. The song will be from Epic's 'Underworld' but I won't be using the whole song. Just the first part with Odysseus. Sorry for the quality of the sketches

~ The little sailor ~ Behold, my masterpiece! This is a glass båt (ice cream boat) and it is being steered by the most handsome sailor that ever sailed Rusty Lake. Me and @nattravn-stuff keep an inside joke in our shaping of our Rusty Lake fics that Dale sooner or later gets to hear about "the frogs" that David has fit in his mouth and brings it up whenever he can. And since David likes to eat sweet stuff and most certainly would steal as much ice cream that he ever could from Dale, why not bring up how they should put a frog on top so that David feel like it's a good old home cooked recipe :D

Song: The Legendary Hero, from Zelda: the Wind Waker

[petorahs]

literally obsessed with the stable trotters btw best thing to ever happen in totk. the huge grin on my face when i first met pyper...

i love when zelda games focus so heavily on music 🥹💛 series staple... like the ocarina of time itself, the ballad of the goddess in skyward sword, the song of storms having the most recognizable tune, the wind waker having link becoming an orchestrator and looking like a conducting baton, twilight princess' wolf howls... marin's singing in link's awakening, and freaking KASS. countless, countless more. music is so important to the legend of zelda.

it's why it's called zelda's lullaby, after all. music is the medium in which all legends are passed down.

Last Freight-train Night

Season 8 No Album Release (Read More) Overworld Adventure (In-Game Version) - The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Ripped by mint chip

Huge apologies in advance for not posting this on a Friday or even a Saturday. The joke has been completely missed. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me 😔.

Ah man, melody swap rips. They're always fun, right? Even in the channel's earliest days, we had stuff like SNES Mini Circulation, Earth, Wind & Bombs and Akumajō Lololo expertly showing off their inherent, obvious appeal - leveraging the instrumentation of one track to bring out a whole new vibe to another piece of music through rearrangement. But especially early on, and even nowadays, you'll notice that some games get favored above others for melody swaps. Super Mario 64, the Pokémon series, NES and Game Boy games, Plok! - granted, the reasons for a lot of these are very easily explained, but with games like Plok! in particular the recent emphasis has come from a select few rippers' absolute enthusiasm for the game and the unique soundscape it provides. Tons of Plok! rips are absolutely mindblowing as a result of this passion, and I intend to cover some of these in the future no doubt - but Last Freight-train Night gave me many of those same thoughts upon first listen whilst being from a game I never would've thought would be one befitting for melody swapping.

Again, to clarify: It's perfectly understandable why those aforementioned select games get so many melody swap rips made of them. Pokémon in particular has at once such a nostalgic, distinct yet versatile set of sounds that has allowed for a ton of creativity in how rips are done, with everything from the piano-driven peacefulness of Blue Mareep to the synth-heavy insanity of Light! (Potentialseeker Colress). The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, meanwhile, is a game I only truly associate with two instruments - the pan flute and the violin - and that paired with its relative obscurity compared to other often-ripped games made me understand why all the chips wouldn't be placed on it in particular. Clearly, I was underestimating both the game and first-time ripper mint chip here, as Last Freight-train Night positively blew me away in its arrangement whilst staying absolutely faithful to the sound of the game its taking from. It's pan flutes and strings, yes - but they're leveraged to a far greater degree than I could've ever imagined.

If you presented me with a choice of song to use in a melody swap for Spirit Tracks' Overworld Adventure theme, I wouldn't have been able to give you an answer - yet had I given you one, it would've probably been incredibly far off the mark from what Last Freight-train Night lands at. It's a full arrangement of Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F), the absolute pop sensation released just two years after Spirit Tracks itself - yes, in other words, this is a PAN FLUTE arrangement of hit song Don't Mine At Night. Like, maybe I'm just easily impressed, maybe I'm just far too attached to Spirit Tracks' sound from playing on its stage in Smash Bros. all too much, but I have to commend Last Freight-train Night just off of its concept alone. But, come on now, you've heard Thwâmpröck Desert - you KNOW that Season 8 has been delivering in far more than just concept alone.

See, the rip isn't just pleasant for its novelty, it feels as if it fully realizes itself in so many small little ways. There's of course the persisting banjo-like backing from the original keeping a playful, plucky adventuring tone, but it's in listening in close that you'll hear something truly special. You guessed it: That chuff-chuff-chuffing sound persisting through the entire track is the sound the player's train makes in Spirit Tracks when moving at the highest speed, whereupon it starts to sync up with the Overworld Adventure theme - in other words, the sound effects are a separate element from the actual music piece, yet Last Freight-train Night goes the extra mile in including it just to make it all feel more...right. The cherry on top of even that is, of course, the sounds of crossing signals fading in and out of the song at various points throughout its runtime. This isn't referencing anything in particular from Last Friday Night, it's a completely original touch by mint chip, but it adds SO much to the listening experience: Pair it with the other two things mentioned in this paragraph, and it starts to feel as if this track is truly taking place within Spirit Tracks itself, a sense of immersion far above what was necessary is conveyed through just these small touches alone. It stimulates the brain in ways I never thought I needed - and in terms of sheer listenability, it all just helps give the arrangement a real sense of tempo, befitting of the dance-able pop song it's an arrangement of.

Season 8 is a lot of things, and I'm still trying to ascertain what to truly make it of four months into its run. But if there's one constant I'm sure of, its that the channel's quality has basically never been higher - rips like Last Freight-train Night are dropping left and right without being part of larger events, as if to just casually remind you of how good of a place the channel is in right now. And having those explosions of quality be attached to games which really haven't seen all too much action on SiIva compared to the big boys, to the channel's "hidden gem" games as it were? Be it back with Plok! in Season 6 or all the countless other examples over the years since, that always just fills me with such joy. Every game is someone's favorite, and every someone has the potential to be a SiIvaGunner contributor - it only takes one person's love for a game to get rips as heartfelt (and seemingly already beloved!) beloved as Last Freight-train Night.
