Fun fact: Zelda’s music was deeply inspired by early 20th century French music and impressionist pieces. Ravel’s Bolero was supposed to be the title theme for the 1st game. The fact that we’re seeing so much Ravel and Debussy in the classical answers really doesn’t make it easy.
Oh no, I’ve been telling people this whole time that Ravelle’s Bolero was supposed to be used as the title theme for Ocarina of Time this whole time lol. I wonder how I missed that part of the fun fact. Because I also remember that the song was only a few weeks away from its copyright ending, but they had to ship the game and couldn’t wait.
Mystery from the French impressionist composers fits very well with the dreamlike worlds from Zelda. Particularly Debussy I would say. I never made the connection but it's true that now that I think about it, it really makes sense.
@@Clery75019 Being a musician, I was thinking at first that this would be a cakewalk when I first clicked on the video. When I took the previously mentioned information into consideration, I thought again.
@@jaredf6205 Small mistake, probably because OoT's title theme reuses the flute song from Zelda 1 (SMB3 also used this tune, to the point people actually tink it's from SMB3 instead of Zelda 1 lol).
The passages are very short. The substance found in classical happens over much longer phrases. I thought it would be super easy too but then I was hit with that ravel. The problem is the midi plays the music really poorly too.
@@nicolenowotnik7121 I love that Masked Man went so crazy you can't even fully describe it with time signautres, to be fully accurate you need tempo changes
The giants theme is probably one of the most pivotal moments of Majoras mask because it after the ocarina is played, it summon the 4 giants from each region to hold up the moon so it prevents the destruction of the town while allowing for link to get inside the moon to fight
I am gonna be honest, i don't remember where i got it from and i can't find it either because all the search results are about zelda. Sorry to disapoint
@@danboom101 I actually thought I immediately recognized it but as Agitha's castle theme, the bug girl from twilight princess, crazy how similiar all three sound
7:45 I actually was that guy at one of their classical tours and they played the chapel music from link to the past. I was losing it in when everyone else around me was like "is this even Zelda music?",
Yep that was a great transition from Zelda's Lullaby using the Triforce Chamber theme to get into it! Before doing another crazy transition to get into the Agahnim battle
To be fair, the whole vibe of the sanctuary/chruch them (which is absolutely one of my favorites from that game/era, though "my favorites" is a very long list), including the choral sound of it, is very different than the rest of the Zelda music of that era. It's somewhat understandable for people to be confused if it's Zelda music, especially when it's brought forward to full instrumentation instead of the 16bit sound of the original. That said, I'm right there with you in that I'd recognize it in an absolute _heartbeat._ It's so fucking good.
For those who didn't recognize the giant's theme, make yourself a favor and go listen to the Theophany's version of it (they used the "oath to order" name).
That one with Debussy was confusing me cause I knew I had heard it, but I didn't remember where. Then they mentioned Untitled Goose Game, and it clicked!
Bolero is technically both Zelda and Classical Music. Originally planed as a Zelda title theme, only for Nintendo of Japan to realize the copyright hadn't expired so Koji Kondo was quickly tasked to come up with a replacement to the main title theme, that was how the legend of Zelda theme was born.
@nickzalan4762 Well, no, the main theme was already composed, he just made an arrangement of the iconic theme that plays during gameplay for the title screen. Still impressive though, as it's a damn good arrangementand title theme.
@@raggebatman paper Mario: the thousand year door. It has been a close second for many years but the remake released a few weeks ago and it is definitely my favorite now.
7:43 This comment is funny because it actually did make the concert tour. I know it was more a figure of speech, but it's part of the final phrase of the Suite from Majora's Mask
7:55 I can't be sure exactly how the quiz maker makes the sheet music, but I have made a piano arrangement of that tune! And I'm going to choose to believe they referenced it for this :)
Cool video! Note that the titles of the Debussy preludes aren’t actually the tempo markings as the quiz makers listed, but the titles are at the end of the score for each prelude. Voiles is the correct title for question 12, as he said.
Oh, Giant's Theme is very characteristic, I'd say. Very very powerful and very recognisable as a result - one has to have experienced it in the game though to fill it with the emotion that carries it.
7:44 It's the backing portion of the Oath to Order and plays during all cutscenes that involves the Four Terminian Giants. The second the song played I recognized it because it's one of my favorite tracks of the OST and I listen to it while going to sleep.
fountains of rome HAS to be inspo for divine beast vah medoh’s theme. it is so identical to the later parts after you’ve activated some of the terminals.
0:45 I've seen that particular page of Scarbo used as the background of at least three videos/websites now. Kind of funny considering how relatively obscure the piece is and then to have that same page be used every time is neat
23:20 oh yes, that's from an album called Plantasia! really great to listen to especially if you're a plant -- I mean, especially if you like video game music, it definitely has that kind of vibe and clearly was inspirational to early game music composers
Something I wish a channel like yours would do is listen through a videogame soundtrack and decide what songs are your favorites. People are always biased by the game to love songs by association, so getting the insightof people who haven't played the games would be so cool.
@Caddynars you play oath to order where you need to and it plays the "giant theme". as far as anyone should be concerned it's called oath to order since that's an actual name for the song rather than an unceremonious "giant's theme
@@ObeliskDemon I was mostly trying to provide an in-game lore explanation for it. Officially, the actual soundtrack lists it as the Giant’s Theme, with Oath to Order being used for the ocarina tune.
@@IlSharmouta I mean.. I'd argue the same thing. The "lost woods theme" is titled "Saria's Song." Even though it also plays in MM & the context is kinda lost. Just like the theme of Lon Lon ranch is titled "Epona's Song." It's really just a semantics thing, I'm not taking it that seriously.
As both a classic music fanatic and a Zelda nerd, I love these videos. Being able to guess almost all of these songs really puts into perspective how much of a fan I am of both 😂
If we’re talking Beethoven, question 7 personally reminds me more of the Appassionata sonata (mvmt 3) which has a continuous 16th note melody and the Neapolitan (bII) chord, which goes along with the phygian-ish excerpt
The thing is, there's so many games by now that if you haven't played them all, it's impossible to know every song on this list. The ones I have played, I recognise the songs instantly.
At the end I said "Scarecrow's song" for number 4 and I'm taking the point. Actually I'm pretty sure you can only do 8 notes not 11 so you can have the point back, sorry for your trouble.
It took me a solid moment to get bonus round #4 because it really does sound like something from an A Link Between Worlds cutscene but then I remembered where it’s really from and had a great laugh. Also helps that the actual name is so odd out of context. A lot of tunes from that source would be great trick questions on video game music quizzes
Only missed 3 of them myself. The triforce heroes one, the rocky area theme, and that last one. That second one I did think sounded like the exact song, but because it just sounded off without the other instruments on it. That last one though sounded nearly identical to a song that actually is in Zelda. Just a hair off it but I thought perhaps that was just how it translated like how I messed up the previous one.
Tbh, once I heard the first Zelda one, I found it easy to distinguish then. I'm a huge music nerd though for the songs. So yeah... Basically if you don't recognize it instantly, it's not Zelda.
As a pianist and Zelda fan. This was my lifes training. Haha i EASILY passed. But i am still surprised. I never noticed how close a lot of these songs were until now. And yall didnt know the giants theme? Cmon now hahaha
There's a song in BOTW that legit sounds nearly identical to Fountains of Rome. Vah Medoh Shrine B sounds like it's nearly the exact same notes and tempo as Fountains of Rome. I think the same notes are used in the cutscene right before the Colgera battle in TOTK as well, which would make sense thematically given them both being Rito related.
14:45 Patting myself on the back for getting this right. I love the Twilight Princess soundtrack so much 😭 Probably the same reason why I guessed 9:51 was part of Agitha’s theme and was proven wrong lol
8:40 - Come on guys x) It's played four times at least in Majora's mask, everytime you learn a new song from the giants after each temple. First one is Oath of Order. Recognized it straight away, but then again, I've always been in love with it x)
12:30 nooooooo habia dicho con mucha seguridad que era de zelda, me recordo muchisimo a la cancion que se oye cuando estas en la bestia divina vah medoh
Question 5, I knew with the absolute utmost certainty. I would've bet my life on it. That theme is one of the best themes I've ever heard in my entire life.
The trick question at the end, technically is a song from ocarina of time, if you do the strawman quest you can actually input that exact song that was played in the quiz.
I think a big tell for many of the classical pieces are the subharmonics of the piano and string notes. There's a softness to each note strike and some reverberation that the MIDI sampling in most Zelda songs lacks. I bet this quiz would be especially difficult if each piece was recorded by the same person on the same instrument with the same equipment.
On Fountains of Rome it got me. The piano sounds VERY similar to the "Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh" theme from Breath of the Wild. That same lower, alternating pattern that quickly runs up, then down, and then holds at the low end before repeating. 100% this piece had to be the inspiration for the Zelda song.
Fun fact: Zelda’s music was deeply inspired by early 20th century French music and impressionist pieces. Ravel’s Bolero was supposed to be the title theme for the 1st game. The fact that we’re seeing so much Ravel and Debussy in the classical answers really doesn’t make it easy.

Yup they were way off there. That would be the highlight of a concert for me.

For some reason I thought it was part of midnas lament from tp

Faron Woods was the only one I recognized immediately. All the other ones were really up in the air, really good quiz!
On Fountains of Rome it got me. The piano sounds VERY similar to the "Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh" theme from Breath of the Wild. That same lower, alternating pattern that quickly runs up, then down, and then holds at the low end before repeating. 100% this piece had to be the inspiration for the Zelda song.
