The Zelda team has one guy locked in a room by himself and knocks on his door every 6 years when they need a song that will only play in the trailer yet eclipse almost the entire OST.
Actually the composer for this (and the 2017 BotW trailer) is the lead composer for the games as well! Her name is Manaka Kataoka, and she's fucking awesome.
@@autumn_breeze616 Yeap. She started in the series with "Spirit Tracks", which also has a banger of a OST. Honestly, if she becomes Koji Kondo's true successor for the series, I won't complain at all! Also, shout out to the arranger of both trailer themes, Kosuke Yamashita. Apparently, he actually works for Monolithsoft. He joined the company after he composed the OST for the anime adaptation of "Xenosaga Episode I". Which as a decades long "Xeno" fan, kind of blows my freaking mind.
They obviously had to, can you imagine the hype of people who played OCOT and loved every second of it, finding out that there was going to be a sequel? This is that, But on steroids, mighty simmered fruit, and phantom armor
Jesus Christ that saxophone part around the 2 minute mark is just pristine. The entire song is pristine but that part especially never fails to give me goosebumps
Every time I come back for a listen get chills. It's a fantastically written piece of music, but the erhu over that section really does it for me. The sax is the focal point, but the erhu adds all the background feel for me.
As a lifelong fan of the Zelda games, hearing the actual main motif at 2:54 made me absolutely cry. It’s that power that a connection with the franchise for years builds up and holy moly. I love it so much.
Me too man, me too. It’s like when you hear the main Zelda theme you know shit is serious. And I love the new chord resolve they did at the end of the motif. It’s so good. Makes me cry too
I am as well a long time Zelda fan. (Even though the first Zelda game i played was Ocarina of Time) I have been for about seven years now. I agree though. That part in my opinion, is the best part. 😁
Imagine telling someone about your favorite song and they're like "where in the soundtrack is it, and where can I find it in game?" And you have to inform them that it is not in fact in the game
“But you’re not alone” hits hard. Link isn’t the only one facing this upheaval. Not to mention he isn’t the only one fighting Ganon’s army. We see soldiers of many races standing up to Ganon’s army and aren’t gonna run away anymore. They wanna risk their lives to protect hyrule. Not to mention the sages have their avatars to protect Link and they show up in hyrule castle and in gloom’s lair to show that link isn’t alone and that he doesn’t have to fight by himself according to Tulin. That’s one think I liked about this game. To directly fight alongside the people of hyrule just like in age of calamity
The saxophone part with the chorus makes me non ironically VERY emotional for how epic it is, really, depending on my mood it can water my eyes up, music messes up with me like nothing else does.
I think it's because saxophones aren't normally supposed to sound this grand and epic. Hearing it like this adds so much storytelling to the music. Despite all odds, the saxophone transcends.
It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it, I still get goosebumps. I know everyone praises the saxophone part, and rightfully so it is absolutely incredible… but I feel like the opening doesn’t get nearly enough praise. It is SO GOOD.
Not a made up story!- I was driving down the highway blasting this ost and four huge macaws grouped and flew next to my car windows as I drove. Stayed with me for a good mile. It was a fuckin fantastical movie moment
If (actually WHEN) this wins Game of the Year, we BETTER have a saxophone going ham Edit: Guess this didn't age that well, huh (I will say Baldur's Gate 3 definitely deserved Game of the Year, and TotK did win Best Action/Adventure so I'll take it)
@souda3120 and then we've got Spider-Man 2 and Starfield coming out soon, which are two highly anticipated games that, if they turn out to be good, could easily be a contender for GOTY.
FF16 is also likely to be a fair contender, despite what Journalists try to say. That game went OFF with sales(and only for PS5??? Imagine if it released to everything else)
Jesus christ this is amazing from the saxaphone to the og oot ganondorf theme to the main motif sound and the first three notes from Zelda's lullaby is just hella good
Honestly, I've been listening this MASTERPIECE since it cames out and I have no words to describe the feelings it gives to me. What this franchise means to me and lots of people is just something breathtaking and unique.
Hearing that main Zelda theme at the end, it’s just so special to a die hard fan like myself. When the main theme comes on in a Zelda game, that’s when you know shit is serious. And I adore the new little chord resolve they added to the end of the motif here 3:00. It has this epic heroic, powerful feel to it that is something you can’t quite describe and it makes me tear up with joy and passion. There was nothing like experiencing this live days before the game came out. Top life experiences here
I was watching my bf play this game while doing my own thing and the twist emotionally destroyed me for 2 days after he got up to it. We both went insane at the end, too.
The saxophone’s solo is just 🔥🔥. I don’t know who had the idea of including it but holy, build a statue of that person somewhere because it’s incredible
This game could not have come out at a better time. I started high school in august 2019, waiting for botw 2, and I left high school finally playing it. Not to mention how it released right after I finished ap exams
Everyone talking about the saxophone, but no one mentions how well the trumpet line came together (which any high school band geek will know just doesn't happen)
You know what's funny, i have never played this game...heck i don't even know this game that much tbh but this soundtrack yo. I'm shiverrrrrring from excitement

At least we know it will be in the next Smash Bros.

they did NOT need to go this hard for a trailer but im so eternally glad they did
Why wouldn’t they, this will be game of the year soon! I’m betting it!
Oh they needed to go hard

Hits harder than the actual ingame song
Nintendo: "It's just a trailer theme. You should go easy with this one."
Manaka Kataoka:
Dark Beast Ganon wasn’t enough. We needed better
@@ja-melvinson7994no dART beast Gannon
It’s art but also a target because the bosss is so easy
Hahahahah
@@rbains707 "dart beast ganon" 🤡💀👹
*no offense srry i just had to point that out

1:57
Just gotta keep that part saved
Every time I come back for a listen get chills. It's a fantastically written piece of music, but the erhu over that section really does it for me. The sax is the focal point, but the erhu adds all the background feel for me.
Jesus is Lord and Savior
@@bbbbbbb51that’s the instrument that’s in a lot of Avatar’s music yes?
Real, me too!
That guy with the saxophone put his heart and SOUL into that solo!

Same bro. Absolutely beautiful
Ear orgasm
I am as well a long time Zelda fan. (Even though the first Zelda game i played was Ocarina of Time) I have been for about seven years now. I agree though. That part in my opinion, is the best part. 😁
felt so scammed when this wasn’t in the final fight
still one of the best pieces of trailer music i’ve heard
Imagine telling someone about your favorite song and they're like "where in the soundtrack is it, and where can I find it in game?" And you have to inform them that it is not in fact in the game
@@adamantlotus fr
nintendo wiffed
they wiffed ass like where tf was the dark link fight ive been waiting for my entire life@@jaker7567
It is in the game the last line of defense will be link part is
No, it's not. It's only in the trailer.@@ShaneWasTaken
The saxophone goes HARD. Nintendo was not messing around with this trailer.
So true
But refuses to put it out for the world to listen to.
This might ACTUALLY be the best version of this song on RUclips. Thank you so much for this.
This is amazing. Although even if it gets better I’ll still never fail to imagine the Link noise and the fuse noise because I’m so used to them 🤑
Fr 😂
Lol you can almost here it at 2:25 very faintly
@@vexuoz I didn’t hear it that much until you pointed it out 👽
UGH THAT SAX!!!!! 💜
I fr wanna learn sax just so I can play this
WE MAKING IT OUTTA THE DEPTHS WITH THIS ONE BOIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
You can barely hear the fuse sounds and galloping of the horse
Very good version
This trailer music gives me the chills. Especially the part when it shows Riji with her swords, the music is great there
You get it, and when he’s pairing with the shield sword. 👌🏼
“But you’re not alone” hits hard. Link isn’t the only one facing this upheaval. Not to mention he isn’t the only one fighting Ganon’s army. We see soldiers of many races standing up to Ganon’s army and aren’t gonna run away anymore. They wanna risk their lives to protect hyrule.

That’s one think I liked about this game. To directly fight alongside the people of hyrule just like in age of calamity
It's funny because this line of dialog in the game is actually spoken to Rauru. But it doe apply just as well to Link.
@@mr.awesome6011 yeah true. Not to mention Rauru is kind of apart of Link

1:58 Is what you came for
No i came for the three notes at the end of the song
I came for all of it.
Thank you kind sir
@@redddubsthis too
I came
Watching this for the first time was surreal. I’ll never be that excited again. This is definitely a core memory.
It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it, I still get goosebumps. I know everyone praises the saxophone part, and rightfully so it is absolutely incredible… but I feel like the opening doesn’t get nearly enough praise. It is SO GOOD.
Right? With Link plunging into the skies as the music sky rockets to open the adventure with the leitmotif it's just BRILLIANT
3:33 those 3 notes of Zeldas lullaby end it perfectly.
By far the best trailer music I've ever heard. And the trailer itself was absolutely insane. 4 minutes of pure insanity, in a good way of course.
Coming back to this now, I'm somehow already nostalgic for Tears of the Kingdom, even though it came out earlier this year.
@@capndikkens5790 same, I can't believe it's already been 7 months since release
Not a made up story!- I was driving down the highway blasting this ost and four huge macaws grouped and flew next to my car windows as I drove. Stayed with me for a good mile. It was a fuckin fantastical movie moment
So we got Tulin and Revali, so who are the other two?
@@jackaboianimationsTeba and kass
By far one of the most greatest Zelda’s of all time. I don’t care what anyone else says.
Botw🔛🔝
@@Kurumi-vm3fo BotW and TotK are both amazing.
If (actually WHEN) this wins Game of the Year, we BETTER have a saxophone going ham
Edit: Guess this didn't age that well, huh (I will say Baldur's Gate 3 definitely deserved Game of the Year, and TotK did win Best Action/Adventure so I'll take it)
Baldur's and Zelda are going head to head and I'm excited for it, finally some real competition!
@souda3120 and then we've got Spider-Man 2 and Starfield coming out soon, which are two highly anticipated games that, if they turn out to be good, could easily be a contender for GOTY.
@@capndikkens5790 so far, Baldur's and Zelda are the big contenders tbh
Who else but the flute guy from last year to play sax enthusiastically
FF16 is also likely to be a fair contender, despite what Journalists try to say. That game went OFF with sales(and only for PS5??? Imagine if it released to everything else)
This is the best version and the sound is soooo clear, I love it!
THE MUSIC AT 1:59 Is such an inspiration.
Jesus christ this is amazing from the saxaphone to the og oot ganondorf theme to the main motif sound and the first three notes from Zelda's lullaby is just hella good
i listen to this regularly
This is the first version I've heard where you can't hear the recall sound. BLESS YOU AND YOUR SKILLS
The fact that this didn't win Game of the Year or Best Music is Criminal
i don't care about your gates or the fact that they are bald
At least it was nominated and the Orchestra played the theme.
Yeah it was rigged with 50 year old dungeons and dragons nerds
Well... This wasn't actually in the game soooooooo

The part that starts at 1:59 should have played at the end of the game when your friends come to your aid and help you fight against Ganondorf's army.
I love how the saxophone part is used for every destructive zonai build video 😂
This game was an adventure even before i pressed play. Holy shit, Nintendo, can you please give my heart more?
Ah, I'm glad we all understand that it's an alto saxophone using a classical setup, and not the 'other' instrument.
Erhu
@@sfrert2759 there’s an Erhu and alto saxophone, yes.
2:54 I love this series so much
MAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS VERSION IS PERFECT ❤
I agree that sax guy was dope but the fanfare with the trumpets at full power at 2:55 was dope.
1:43 this is the best piece of music ever
I'm just in love with 2:23
It's amazing how much information this music alone gives about the game, it's amazing
Idk how you managed to take so many of the other sounds out and still have it sound so clean, but MASSIVE props for that 👏
1:28 Gives off some serious demon slayer vibes, but this is insanely awesome!
Just finished a math test. This is how it feels.
I literally cried playing this game
I was watching my bf play this game while doing my own thing and the twist emotionally destroyed me for 2 days after he got up to it. We both went insane at the end, too.
"Most replayed" right at the sax. Good job everyone!
2:39 Favorite part
This is the best version yet
Soooo learning this on my sax!!!! I got so excited when I heard this I’m like I’m gonna go learn that RIGHT NOW!!!😂
I still get so excited hearing this
Thank you so much, this is the cleanest version yet 🥰
incredible work
The fact that I was NOT hyped for the game before that trailer came out always makes me smile
This is amazing! You have mad skills!
Ganon's theme at 2:38 absolutely SLAMS!!
1:59 start of amazingness
Every part of this is amazing
0:00 start of amazingness
Hearing this music immediately makes me want to play TOTK, the music team did their damn job⚡
1:55 and 2:38 It's so epic I'm crying 🥲🥲🥲😍
The saxophone’s solo is just 🔥🔥. I don’t know who had the idea of including it but holy, build a statue of that person somewhere because it’s incredible
One day this will sound at my funeral 😊
Gives me goosebumps every time. Ganondorf's motif goes so hard
Wow, this is incredible
I'm still hyped for the game when I listen to this music
The beginning part - like 0:17 - is SO beautiful
Thank you ! ^_^
Why does this song give me chills!!!
2:47 those drums and main theme intro ! 😢 why am I crying ?
Omg yunobos six is finally gone! This keeps getting cleaner and cleaner 🙏
j'adore cette musique c'en est carrément ma préférée :je l'ai écoutait 211 fois et je l'aime toujours autant ❤❤❤❤❤
Most EPIC Trailer in the world
Absolutely legendary
Amazing.
The drums of the final part omg
How did we go from,
“Its the legend of zelda and its really rad”
To this
those creatures from ganon got hella gyatt🤑🤑
Im Convinced That This Is The Best Song In Any Trailer Ever
Peak trailer for a peak game
The final three notes (zelda's theme) literally made me tear up the first time that I watched the trailer
This will never not give me goosebumps
just cried listening to this
The best decision they made was letting the sax ball my lord 😭🔥
This is the best game I’ve ever played in my life
LEGEND
I actually miss that shield bash sound and the whoosh at the sax part.
This game could not have come out at a better time. I started high school in august 2019, waiting for botw 2, and I left high school finally playing it. Not to mention how it released right after I finished ap exams
This song is so good to the point it makes me sick to my stomach. I dont know why
This and the Main Legend Of Zelda theme go so hard.
This is a strong contender for best LoZ song
Even though I play trombone, that saxophone hit harder than Ganondorf breaking my hylian shield in 3 hits
Everyone talking about the saxophone, but no one mentions how well the trumpet line came together (which any high school band geek will know just doesn't happen)
3:10 oh that final hit is mind blowing
my mom bought me this game even though she's struggling financially, i am so happy even though i am still new to this game! :)))
Game Awards will be so hype
If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is was the raw audio. I think in only one part i heard something not from the OST briefly.
WHEN THAT SAX HITS OH MY GOD MY GUY HOLY FUCK WE'RE SO BACK BABYYYYY
2:55 is my favorite part of this whole song because it’s the main theme of the entire franchise but just epic and completely unnecessarily perfect
The ducking sax 🎷❤, it's perfect
You know what's funny, i have never played this game...heck i don't even know this game that much tbh but this soundtrack yo. I'm shiverrrrrring from excitement
It's as good as it's soundtrack. I'm still enjoying it.
1:55 saxophone part
we killin ganondorf with this one
