Long ago, in the beautiful kingdom of Hyrule surrounded by mountains and forests... Legends told of an omnipotent and omniscient Golden Power that resided in a hidden land. Many people aggressively sought to enter the hidden Golden Land... But no one ever returned. One day evil power began to flow from the Golden Land... So the King commanded seven wise men to seal the gate to the Land of the Golden Power. That seal should have remained for all time... ... ...But, when these events were obscured by the mists of time and became legend... A mysterious wizard known as Agahnim came to Hyrule to release the seal. He eliminated the good King of Hyrule... Through evil magic, he began to make descendants of the seven wise men vanish, one after another. And the time of destiny for Princess Zelda is drawing near.
I always, even as a little kid, found it awesome how the title screen's background image has no object of focus. The castle/fortress there is off to the side and it shows more of the surrounding landscape. I'd like to think that was intentional because it gives off a better sense of adventure for me.
I remember there being an early part in Final Fantasy IV where the story text was shown and the background was kinda similar. Castle off to the side with a bit of the landscape and wide open sky showing through. Kinda gives off a similar feel that you mentioned.
I just realized the other day that this sound is also used in OoT during Zelda's story of the creation of Hyrule. It plays right after the goddesses transform into the triforce. I love how Nintendo finds ways to re--use their musical scores. Like I didn't know the opening theme of OoT was also the warp flute sound from the original.
@@sidedisch ‘favourite’ is actually a correct spelling in some countries. For example, most European countries spell words like ‘armor’ like ‘armour,’ with an extra ‘u.’ Fun fact!
Yes, it is a great intro. I could listen to music from Alttp all day, because I used to play it all day! (Btw you have quite a pretty profile picture 😊)
Having played and beat Zelda 1 and 2 on the NES, I desperately wanted to buy this but didn't own a SNES. Family was poor as hell. Worked my ass off that summer as a teenager and bought the console and this game with my first check. Totally worth it!
Am I the only one who likes the original tracks better than the redos? The redos are great and all but I think the original tracks are a lot better for some reason in my opinion.
cavegoat24 Well it's not exactly a redo, but it's called "A Link Between Worlds" and there's _tons_ of similarities so you might as well call it a redo I guess. Not really sure what else to call it.
While there's certainly something to be said for simple nostalgia, I think a big factor there is that the original music is very simple, so it's easier to imagine and jive with than something that sounds exactly like a live recording, if that makes any sense. I'd say that chiptune music is to symphonic pieces what books are to movies, broader and more vague, but as such leaves you with even more room to put yourself into it.
The allusion to the Triforce...... a secret power hidden in another world.... people fighting to reach it..... yet.....one day evil power seeping out from the land..... sealed up.....but.....wizard takes over.... the legend really spoke to me as a kid.
I remember playing this game on an emulator site in 2013. This song sounded foreboding, as if to say "Keep on your toes, this is not going to be an easy one"
this is my favorite zelda game, and favorite soundtrack... love the ocarina of time, but this was by far the best classic top-down view zelda game. so great. played it again for the first time in years the other day.
You know, just seamlessly switching between 4/4 time and 3/4 walts..no biggie. Will anyone notice? Not specifically...but they will love it nevertheless
i dont know what youre taling about sounding bad man, the sound is great , maybe its your probleme , or bought better headset/speaker, cause i assure you the sound is pretty good.
With Hyrule Historia out, this shows that the game takes place in a 3rd timeline where Link from OoT lost to Ganondorf which he takes the full Triforce and became nearly unstoppable but the Sages manage to seal him into the corrupted Sacred Realm/Dark World anyway, then years later, Ganondorf, now the Demon King Ganon, amassed an army of monsters who were greedy Hyruleans looking for the Trifroce who changed in the Dark World, enough of them to wage war on Hyrule, leading to the Imprisoning War. The war would cost so much lives of the Knights of Hyrule who fought to the bitter end against Ganon's army to buy the sages enough time to seal away the monsters and Ganon back to the Dark World. The war also cost so much resources and lives that left Hyrule impoverished that became a shadow of its former glory, reduced to a small country.
I wasn't even alive when this came out, and it's nostalgic. That's how good this song is
Yep. This game is a masterpiece. I still play it.
@@snowyboi11 same here. This game came out a year before i was born but it was the first zelda game i got. It is still fun to this day
You don’t have to have been alive when it came out to find a game nostalgic. I grew up with a lot of old games that I have fond memories of.
This game came out when my parents were kids.
I know yall probably won't care, but I just about a month ago finally beat this game without glitches!
Long ago, in the beautiful
kingdom of Hyrule surrounded
by mountains and forests...
Legends told of an omnipotent
and omniscient Golden Power
that resided in a hidden land.
Many people aggressively
sought to enter the hidden
Golden Land...
But no one ever returned.
One day evil power began to
flow from the Golden Land...
So the King commanded seven
wise men to seal the gate to
the Land of the Golden Power.
That seal should have remained
for all time...
... ...But, when these events
were obscured by the mists of
time and became legend...
A mysterious wizard known as
Agahnim came to Hyrule to
release the seal. He eliminated the good King of Hyrule...
Through evil magic, he began
to make descendants of the
seven wise men vanish, one
after another.
And the time of destiny for
Princess Zelda is drawing
near.
Ah yes the opening cutscene
With music wise as the seven wise men.
This sounds so magical and full of feelings, sadness, and hope. One of my favorite soundtracks from the game.
It's one of my favorites on the SNES, period. I dunno, there's just something about the instrumentation that's just so... SNES-y.
I COULD NOT DESCRIBE IT MORE PROPELY

0:00 to 0:15 is my absolute FAVORITE
Same! It just screams *_"SUPER NINTENDO!!"_*
Hologram1029 same here

same
Yep!
0:00 to 0:15 right in the feels.
hits hard
literally the alarm sound of a triforce alarm clock i own... you won't believe just how loud that alarm clock is, damn

This sounds sad, and yet epic at the same time. It gives you determination, an adventure awaits! Classic Legend of Zelda music.
0:58 - 1:19 love this part.
This song is the most visceral connection to my childhood I still have
What's 0:00 to 0:15 called? Is there a more complete version of that? I must know because that's my favourite part.
there isnt, thats just an opening riff sadly :(
its not extended but there's a re mastered version of it
ruclips.net/video/qkYSuWSPkHI/видео.html at 2:35
you spelt favorite wrong. lol. but it true/ this is the best classic Zelda game

y’all sleeping hard on 0:32 to 1:18
Something is so haunting, so epic, and so beautiful about this opening piece. It truly feels like where it all began.
0:32 My favourite part!
Thus begins, The Sealing War, and Hyrule's Decline..

0:16 The greatest intro for me ♥.
Yes, it is a great intro. I could listen to music from Alttp all day, because I used to play it all day! (Btw you have quite a pretty profile picture 😊)
To retro
The first game I ever played, still my all time favorite game to this day, this song never fails to bring me a sense of wonder.
First game I remember ever playing as a kid still the greatest game of all time every accomplishment felt so monumental
I love the melody after the first 15 seconds
Having played and beat Zelda 1 and 2 on the NES, I desperately wanted to buy this but didn't own a SNES. Family was poor as hell. Worked my ass off that summer as a teenager and bought the console and this game with my first check. Totally worth it!
Am I the only one who likes the original tracks better than the redos? The redos are great and all but I think the original tracks are a lot better for some reason in my opinion.
What are the redos on? Have they remade this game?
cavegoat24 Well it's not exactly a redo, but it's called "A Link Between Worlds" and there's _tons_ of similarities so you might as well call it a redo I guess. Not really sure what else to call it.
Oh that. Yeah, it's way different :P
While there's certainly something to be said for simple nostalgia, I think a big factor there is that the original music is very simple, so it's easier to imagine and jive with than something that sounds exactly like a live recording, if that makes any sense. I'd say that chiptune music is to symphonic pieces what books are to movies, broader and more vague, but as such leaves you with even more room to put yourself into it.
Aetricity I still really like the redos but there's something about the snes soundchip that just makes everything sound so epic.

Perhaps.
Dio A I think not
It's the illuminati XD
Someone should orchestrate it when you hear that tune in the beginning with the Main Theme coming straight after.
Go have a look to A link Between World orchestration :)
Funnily enough I did something similar in my marching band show of this. Not to selfless plug but I have a video of it :)
this is giving me so much nostalgia, I just wish I would have appreciated those days more now that I look back on them
My favourite part is at 0:59!
There is so much nostalgia in this
Scott pilgrim is dating a high schooler?
Really? Is she hot?
anyone else just staring into the title screen. sucha random scenery, some ordinary landscape and the side of a castle. yet so intriguing! :>
0:00 to 0:15, The only reason I came here
Is it just me, or is the dark world theme a variation of the theme for the backstory? It makes sense.
i love this game was like yesterday ive played for first time
Who's still bumpin in 1991, 1992 Nintendo?
the legend of zelda it's VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY cool
Revaly it's pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty good
Is like
SOMEBODY HIT START!!!
The first bit was like staring at Christmas of my childhood
The allusion to the Triforce......
a secret power hidden in another world....
people fighting to reach it.....
yet.....one day evil power seeping out from the land.....
sealed up.....but.....wizard takes over....
the legend really spoke to me as a kid.
I remember playing this game on an emulator site in 2013. This song sounded foreboding, as if to say "Keep on your toes, this is not going to be an easy one"
It's beautifully melancholic.
The greatest thing was playing this game as a kid with no fucking clue how to progress but enjoying every second of it
Great memories
this is my favorite zelda game, and favorite soundtrack... love the ocarina of time, but this was by far the best classic top-down view zelda game. so great. played it again for the first time in years the other day.

Miyamoto: “Bro trust it’s a title theme they’re probs gonna press start before they can hear most of it.”
Koji Kondo: “No, they won’t”
Damn the start got me when,I played the game for the first time.
When I first let the title go as the triforce formed, I knew I was in for something special.
Wish this would get remade.
The opening screen did.
ruclips.net/video/otGKn296P3Q/видео.html
Good use of the Dark Crystal soundtrack.
This is my favourite song from any Zelda game ever
Love this game since I was between the ages of 6-7 1991-1992
Its magical song for bits
sweet nostalgia ♥
SQUIIDDISH!!!!!!!!!
love this game so much
Absolute legendary game
2024 and listening to this!
nostalgia just hit me like a train
Squiiddish :D
legendary ❤
a song from the beginning of my life
You know, just seamlessly switching between 4/4 time and 3/4 walts..no biggie. Will anyone notice? Not specifically...but they will love it nevertheless

OMG the start is so legit
Short and amazing opening title theme!
Gaming

Ahh 6th grade ❤️
0:06
"Bring down the six barriers and save Princess Zelda"
**sages make rainbow bridge**
And I beat the game in 3 days 100% complete in 2002 on Super Nintendo was 17 at the time
This is greeat!
I dont know I come back to Colorado to visit grandma and I heard that theme.
anyone know what that arpeggio is at the start?!?!?!
0:00 so… chilled out groove, anyone?
That Fanfare from 0:06 to 0:15 is the best part of the whole thing for me
why does this sound so sad?;;
i dont know what youre taling about sounding bad man, the sound is great , maybe its your probleme , or bought better headset/speaker, cause i assure you the sound is pretty good.
Tycla he said ‘sad’
Ji Han the music was played while showing what happened in the last which in itself was sad so it makes sense
With Hyrule Historia out, this shows that the game takes place in a 3rd timeline where Link from OoT lost to Ganondorf which he takes the full Triforce and became nearly unstoppable but the Sages manage to seal him into the corrupted Sacred Realm/Dark World anyway, then years later, Ganondorf, now the Demon King Ganon, amassed an army of monsters who were greedy Hyruleans looking for the Trifroce who changed in the Dark World, enough of them to wage war on Hyrule, leading to the Imprisoning War.

andrewjrt old outro theme
ive been looking for 10 years...
fuckkkk this is good
Amazing just amazing
i love the song until 0.15
I like the rest of it but 0:06 to 0:15 is by far the best part in my opinion.
Nice 👍
so hard to find, ty
Mark Rossbach no in 2017
I agree with you.
Best. Intro. Ever made.
