- Nintendo's music for Ocarina of Time was STOLEN, and used in a Shrek game without permission in the early 2000s. In today's video, I'll explain how this plagiarism was spotted, we'll compare the COPIED Zelda music to the Shrek soundtrack, and more!

HELLO!
Sorry it's been so long since the last video! I've been going through a lot of hectic things in my personal life over the last few months, and while things are still busy I've finally been getting my act together when it comes to this RUclips channel, so I really appreciate that you've been so patient!!
Today's video will be the first of many coming over the next few months - no long disappearances from the internet any time soon :)
Love y'all :)
Kk
First
Awesome video
Wait I was 2 years old too when the v-smile released
@@Cliffordlongheadyou aren’t first, and nobody cares lmao
I think it’s canon that Shrek lives deep inside Lost Woods now.
GET OUT OF MY SWAMP LINK!
given the swamp in majora's has it's own version of a lost woods......this is now canon :p
I feel like Shrek could have stopped Majora's Mask.
Shrek should've been the forest guardian

Even in videogame form, shrek 3 is rightfully ignored
Shrek third is not a bad movie
@@sirducksworthythe3rd842 Well in me and turtles opinion it is.

I’ve heard news that Donkey’s getting a spin off movie
@traviscunningham7062 dint know about that, but it's been considered that Shrek 5 is in the works, and most the cast is back
I remember laughing my ass off when I heard Zelda music playing in a freakin' Shrek game
What
Same, on that leapfrog console right? Haha
Did you discover it before 2007?
@@Iosaiv yeah I made the comment before watching the full video. But I remember that vtech console. My cousin who was a toddler at the time would play it And I remember hearing those ripped off Zelda songs on there and being dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe they blatantly stole the music.
@@Iosaiv Mark Bozon from IGN definitely did

The creators speculated they can get away with it. And appearantly, they did.
that's wrong and needs to be sued
@@darkstarmoonshadow8892how do you sue a company of a game they didn't even credit themselves for? Honestly not putting any identification on the product was pretty smart if it was intentional.
@@darkstarmoonshadow8892 calm down NintenBoy
@darkstarmoonshadow8892 you should go to law school to become a lawyer so you can help nintendo
Well, they had a higher chance that they were making a game for an obscure edutainment console, unlike many a fan who has made thier fangames on PC.
Knowing that some kids may have grown up hearing this music in their favorite V-Smile game.... to maybe grow up and play Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask and hear the music again... that's absolutely crazy.
I did though I was a young kid and I don't remember the ost at all so I never realized.
Or to think OoT ripped off Shrek.
Literally me, lol. I had no idea about the soundtracks. I played both Oot and this Shrek game when I was very young, but I bet nobody who made the Shrek game would think 4 year old me would make a connection 😂
@@riverwallerstedt4455 Though, now that this video reminded me of this fact, I think I vaguely remember this game having OOT's house theme.
@@narutosbelievinAnd it is at this point that we point and laugh.
That Shrek game music composer must have been a Zelda fan
maybe
Yeah
Fr
no way
"Composer"
Whoever that worked on the music didn’t even try to hide the fact that they ripped copyrighted material into their game. It almost feels like they did it as a joke 😂
Underpaid IT guys
well yeah why hide it if its a bad math game no point protecting a game that will be cheaper to lose
could be out of spite due to underpaying or someone mistreating them too lol
They knew what they were doing too, there's apparently no credits in this game at all to link it to them.
"I'll just throw in obviously copyrighted music so I can get more time to work on the actual music--"
"Approved"
"WHAT"
-- How I want to imagine it happening
I can sort of get it if they thought they could get away with it with a less well known game's ost, but this is Ocarina of Time, one of the most popular video games ever made.
With an extremely notable soundtrack. That’s a huge part of the game! Saria’s Song??? Really???
Saria’s song became Shrek’s song.
But THEIR GAME (& system) is obscure, and used by young children. If a AAA producer did this on a big platform it would be caught immediately.
the highest rated video game of all time as well.
i'm glad you're putting Vsmile back on everybody's radar because i have been trying to emulate it with no success, and i'm hoping for somebody to see this video and go "oh yeah, i remember that.. probably got a huge library of games.. should probably share it.." i really really hope..
I believe emulation has already been figured out for it. I haven’t done it myself, but Vinny Vinesauce did a stream a while back where he played a bunch of VSmile games, so it’s definitely possible.
@@dingus_maximus Oh I need to know how he did this, I soo want to go and experience back games from my childhood, please if anyone knows how
@@dingus_maximus yes and no... it runs on MAME for as far as i know, but a huge chunk of its library is missing, and some files are corrupted (or i just suck at MAME lol)
@@12DAMDO Ah, I see. Well hopefully there’ll be more awareness so people can contribute whatever they can. I’d try to see if I could help but my Vsmile is unfortunately long gone.

I hear Nintendo music on the radio all the time. The Mii Maker theme and Super Mario Galaxy Star Festival theme included
Edit: it's a station in San Diego, CA. I think 90.3 or 93.3
Wait, really? Which radio station is it on then?
I need to hear it
What??? In what context? Like, behind people speaking or like actually playing OST songs like any other music?
If Nintendo find out about this, that station will be needing great lawyers lol
I sometimes hear the original super Mario bros victory theme and the Windows 98 start up music at Walmart during song transitions.
that music sounds like it'd be on some bootleg copy of Ocarina of Time
yep
YOU
AGAIN
Drunk Zelda
The violin of clock
flute of hours
I'm gonna raise a kid on only the shrek game, and later in life have them play Ocarina of Time. They'll be the first person in the world to think that Zelda ripped off the shrek game
LMAO
Please- 😭
really sad
As someone who discovered "Windy Hill first, Green Grove second" (since I knew Windy Hill from the Olympics spinoffs before playing 3D Blast), this can even apply within a franchise.
@@amesstarline5482 I think you mean Windy Valley (Sonic Adventure), not Windy Hill (Sonic Lost World). But one of the three pieces of music used in Windy Valley is legit just a remix of Green Grove from the Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast, and that got used in the Olympics games.
Funnily enough, one of Windy Valley's other themes seems to be partially based on the music from The Doomday Zone from Sonic 3 & Knuckles (not outright reused, just inspiration). And there's a bunch of reuse of music in Sonic games besides the Green Grove/Windy Valley thing - the most blatant example is Sonic Pocket Adventure, which uses nothing but recycled music.
I've never played Ocarina and even I knew what they were stealing from
Heck is wrong with you? Go play it now
@@darth_hylianoverrated as hell, game is ass
@@darth_hylianain't nobody got time for that
@@darth_hylian I second this. The game is widely praised for many good reasons.
It’s also the highest rated game on Metacritic.

0:37 Imagine if Nintendo tried suing the government 💀
If it becomes real, it would be first ever in history
Even funnier if they settled that dispute in SMASH BROS
@@SaiOkami777that would be GOLDEN
I figure, a factor why the companies believed they could get away with it, is that a lot ot the Zelda music, in particular in Ocarina of time was created using Zero-G sample CDs (a fact you covered on this channel as well), and it was in many instances, that the companies didn't have the rights to those CDs in the first place, which is a fact that may come out during court and make things awkward. It would become potentially a whole "I only stole from you what you stole first" scenario. While you could buy those CDs freely, it was actually specifically stated that purchasing the CD did not include a commercial license. I can't say for sure whether Nintendo actually procured the neccessary rights but let's just say copyright back then wasn't what it is now... Even then: For some samples Zero-G didn't even own the copyright in the first place :D
But Nintendo still owns the melody. It would be an open-and-shut case.
@@E0O2X314FT so if you steal something but add your own things to it, it becomes an open and shut case? Not that simple. Ever heard of patent disputes? Similar situation here. It'd be by no means an open and shut case. The parties would most likely end up settling.
Hm. I guess Vinny's isn't crazy when that Zelda music is playing on Shrek education game
He is finally back
Why doesn’t he upload that regularly?
The wait is ogre
I never noticed he was gone.
@@mistercrawford18
Check his pinned comment
Les go
As a Shrek superfan idk how I did not know this, thanks for having this.
Imagine a kid that has played that Shrek game and not Ocarina of Time, finally playing Ocarina for the first time and saying "dang, they stole this music from Shrek!"
Sounds like the developers never beat the Deku tree or left Kokiri forest.
OMG I remember that Shrek V. Smile game!!!
I used to play that game so much when I was younger! I loved the music and I remember thinking it sounded familiar despite never playing any Zelda games.
Zelda music does that some how(by zelda I mean specifically oot) It’ll feel nostalgic or familiar even if it’s your first time hearing it
one example i have of a big company stealing nintendo music is actually a radio station called "absolute radio" (which is based in the UK and is actually a pretty large radio station here)
they have this section during the afternoon where they will play the wii shop channel music of all things behind people talking about something (what do they talk about? i can't remember)
if you are in the UK then it might be worth trying to listen out for the wii shop channel music during the day on that station (unless its a section that they've stopped, it has been a few weeks after all)
I listened to plenty of radio stations here in the Philippines that stole music from Super Mario World, Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Cross, Spirited Away, The Empire Strikes Back, and Jurassic Park.
What’s funny is that Spirited Away never got an official release in the Philippines until 2020 on Netflix.
@@HydraSpectre1138 oh really? thats actually really interesting, might do some research on those stations if i get the chance
What time
@@the-child-is-still-alive if i remember correctly, it happened during the afternoon or evening, not exactly sure when specifically though
This one news station played stickerbush symphony from Donkey Kong Country on a segment talking about the death of the sun or something lol.
Someone: "Hey Shrek, you stole this music from Nintendo?"
Shrek: "what are you doing in my swamp?"
I love this so much! I always like to see when people narrowly miss the Nintendo ninjas wrath
There is a fan-made SpongeBob game that stolen 2 songs: Nimbus Land from Super Mario RPG and Bianco Hills from Super Mario Sunshine.
Wow! It's my favourite game: Shrek: Donkey of Time. I loved the part where Shrek stabbed Lord Farquaad in the skull and then Fiona sent him back in time to live out his childhood... Great times...
Have you played the sequel: Shrek: Fairy Godmothers Mask? I loved how you were on a time limit and had to defeat fairy godmother before the strike of midnight.
@@powerfullpummel6417Oh man I love The Myth of Fiona
You guys are forgetting about the classic known as Shrek: The Faces of Farquaad.
Speaking of Zelda music. In splatoon 3, Shiver's first verse in Anarchy Rainbow is strikingly similar to Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time.
It's only fine if Nintendo does it
I noticed that Shiver's Solo (Anarchy Poisons: Bird Mix) sounds similar to Saria's Song from Ocarina of Time.
I've seen a few Nintendo songs that have similarities to each other, but I feel like some of that would be because of staff overlap, but I'm not sure as I didn't pay that much attention to the credits.
@@joylox I think most of it is probably references to other Nintendo games.
Not really. Lost woods is on different notes in the scale. The final note of the lost woods phrase ends on the leading tone (7) of a major scale, whereas Shiver's solo ends on the tonic (1) of a minor scale.
we have covered over 800 cases of stolen music in and from video games, it's more common than you think
The Korean variety show, Knowing Bros, often uses the menu music from the original Rhtyhm Heaven game, it really took me by surprise when I first heard it be used
I think there was a Portuguese language (likely Brazilian) TV program that once used Ace Combat 5 music (specifically Demons of Razgriz).
The Voice Kids Philippines stole music from both Neon Genesis Evangelion and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
Asian companies/people steal music very often. Maybe the copyright laws are way different over there?
WOW! DreamWorks didn’t just steal Bee Movie but the soundtrack for Shrek too!?!?
How did they steal the Bee Movie?
Dreamworks had nothing to do with the development of this game.
@@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333 Shrek is still owned by them.
Fun fact: In a turn of events, there was actually an instance where V-Smile music was used in a Wii game! In 2009, a game adaptation of the Thomas and Friends movie, "Hero of the Rails" was released in Europe only. And all of the music in the game are recompositions of Thomas's own V-Smile game! There are even a few tracks from the V-Smile game that were never used and are leftover in the game's assets.
As for the game itself, it's pretty underwhelming; it's a minigame collection pieced together with FMVs from the movie. And seeing how the target audience is very young kids, the minigames are very short and simple. I guess for what it is, it isn't too terrible, but I honestly think it was a missed opportunity.
I think it would have been a lot more interesting if the game was more similar to a train simulator, where you control Thomas and other characters of the show throughout an open world Sodor (with different branch lines and sights) and play a story that is a copy of the movie. The game would have been designed so that both kid and adult fans of the show alike can enjoy the game. Kids would have gone crazy because they get to play as Thomas. Adults would in turn enjoyed the game's open world and it's faithfulness to Sodor.
Oh well. Maybe -Outright Games- someone that gets the license to Thomas can make that type of game.
5:05 they really thought they could copy one of the most iconic video game songs of all time and no one would notice 💀
Well I sure didn't notice as a kid (yeah I played the game), and who in my family was gonna notice ? My toxic mother who thinks video games are bad ? Definitly not.
Yea like is the 2nd or 1nd most famous zelda song-💀
Shrek needs a crossover with Zelda.
Tingle x Shrek game?
No. Link x Puss in Boots.
@@traviscunningham7062 Yeah, I bet Kitty Softpaws and Zelda will get along just fine.

6:09 “all those wrong notes you played made it sound more original” - SpongeBob
Fun Fact: In the title of this very video, apparently "movie studio" is an anagram for "game composer".
Stuff like this almost makes me not want to blame Nintendo for taking down youtube channels that post their music like SilvaGunner, almost.
This is absolutely incredible. I can't believe I never heard of this! Thank you so much for documenting this
Good to have you and your lovely content back!
I always love seeing peoples' reactions to the stolen music in this game.
I live in Hong Kong and there was a Chinese TV show on TV here that ran for about 6 months. The show flat out used the music that plays inside the pirate's ship from Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. It wasn't an arrangement or a remix. It was a 1 to 1 rip of the Gamecube file. Thing is it wasn't a single use affair. It was played in sections when the characters were just sitting around talking casually, which was 2 or 3 times per one hour episode. It was absolutely shameless. I have also seen countless TV commercial selling products and flat out using the coin sound effect from Mario and the ring sound from Sonic.
The fact that this video showed up in my recommendations literally right after having a conversation with my friends about shrek while i was playing wind waker is CRAZY
Imagine someone playing that Shrek game and never heard anything about Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
*lost woods theme playing*
Shrek player: Hey! I heard that before!
Me: Yep! It's from Zelda!
Shrek player: Actually, it's from Shrek.
Me: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?
Thankfully, I never played that game.
I did play the King Arthur game.
Imagine campaigning, and using video game music for your videos😂
Indeed
Hi
Music that doesn’t really even fit the footage at that. That’s gotta be the least well thought out pandering I’ve ever seen.
I remember, many years ago, there was a French TV advert with people in an elevator. We could hear fart noises and then we discover it's just a telephone ringtone to make a prank. So basically, this advert was for downloading this "fart sounds" ringtone. And the music in this advert was the first music from Super Mario Land (Birabuto Kingdom) 🙂
Omg! You Unlocked My Memories! V-Smile Was Actually My First Console When I Was Little Kid Before I Went Transtition To Nintendo Consoles.
It’s been soooooooooooo long since you last posted, and we are happy that you are back!
I love that they barely tried to hide it. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

7:27 You know you're a dedicated Nintendo fan when you recognize Miyamoto's silhouette.
Sometimes game companies steals ideas from eachother..It's more like a "Hey. Can I copy your homework thing?"
Them: "Sure, just make sure you change a couple of things to make it look & sound different."
missed seeing you thomas! lovely to see another video
This reminds me of the legendary game Final Sword who stole Zelda's Lullaby and got removed 4 days after their release on Nintendo eshop in 2020 😅
One thing that honestly it might have been is time crunch with placeholder files, I've seen people from that era (especially with these cheaper games) use MIDIs they have laying around or something as placeholders. So chances are they had put these in as placeholders (which would explain why lost woods sounds the way it does and why some songs lose some sounds due to the sound channel count) and forgot about it.
That's just a theory however.
Omg as soon as you showed that vsmile I just got a wave of nostalgia slapping me in the face. I loved that thing as a kid
0:14 - Suddenly all those "Yoshi Commits Tax Fraud" jokes make sense.
It's a good day when Thomas uploads
Maybe for you, but for me it's one of the worst days of my life.
@@brandonvillamizar1216 yee hee
How could you Shrek?! 😭
When you showed The V Smile memories unlocked that were sealed away for many many years.
BRO I REMEMBER WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!! Long ago when I was but a small kid, I remember taking one of them Pre-K like tablets to do what I’m allowed to do and often heard “Beware the Forest Mushrooms” from Super Mario RPG. Realizing it today makes me wonder HOW THE FRICK DO THE PEOPLE THAT COPIED THAT THEME GET AWAY WITH IT?????
4:08 your welcome in case you rather hear the zelda music now and not go through the nasally dialog
They had to pay $100 per copy of that Shrek game sold. The $300 fine hit them pretty hard…
the composer probably just searched: video game music and used the first results that came up.
imagine waking up and realizing that shrek stole your music
Scott Pilgrim!. The very first time I streamed Link to the Past, Twitch sent me a copyright warning from Universal Studios. Apparently the Scott Pilgrim sound track has a hidden track that gratuitously samples the fairy pond music. I didn't get in trouble for it. They just muted that section of the vod.
What Universal Studios did is actually illegal.
@@Accrovideogames maybe. I don't know. Seems dumb to me. Nintendo should own the copyright, not Universal. They can deal with it if they want to as far as I'm concerned. I appealed, but didn't hear anything back about it. And since I'm not a big time affiliate streamer or whatever, the vods get deleted after a while anyway.
@@Peregrine57 There's sadly a lot of abuse. RUclips even admitted that they receive on average 5 million fake copyright claims each year, and that's just the ones that were successfully overturned. Their system is easy to abuse and they don't care about fixing it. Twitch is no different. You're just a victim among many. Making a fake copyright claim is actually a crime. But they do it because it's easy, profitable, and very rarely enforced.
Man, what's with Super Mario Bros 1's underwater theme being remixed for title screens and intros and stuff? Can't believe even THIS Shrek game did it lol (even if it wasn't on purpose)
I've noticed that too. What's cool is Mario 2 (usa) remixed it's into its title. Although Mario 1, 3 and Lost Levels had no title music originally.
in the SNES compilation cartridge Super Mario All-Stars, all games without a title music now had new ones, and ALL seem to be remix of the swimming theme. Somebody must like it lol. I thought, aha that's a cool way to connect them.
The way my face lit up and my voice jumped three octaves when I saw a picture of a V.Smile for the first time in over a decade. I loved that thing when I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me of some core memories, it really cheered me up.
I love that that goverment website is entirely in Comic Sans
I hate hearing Nintendo music in random tik toks. Most of those people don't even know where the songs originated from & the content is usually cringe
Oh man, Shrek music goes hard.
Dude. I had this game as a kid. One day I heard a friend playing Zelda with the lost woods playing and I unironically exclaimed to him "Nintendo stole that music from a Shrek game" 💀💀💀
Reminds me of when the the DS version of shrek smash n kart racing featured an unused track that's a remix of mario kart 64's main theme (which was apparently a leftover from ds dev kits)
The only Zelda game I've played is BOTW and I STILL recognised the themes.
love you're videos. kepp going, you're the GOAT!🐐
Wouldn't surprise me if it was as simple as being a case of placeholder music that was left in either due to laziness or because the devs had such a short window to develop the game that they literally had no time to make new music, possibly even no time to even remove the music they already added or modify it in any way to prevent anyone from noticing.
I have a playlist for music used by an Indonesian TV "Trans 7" and they used Nintendo songs from 2007 to 2014. This playlist is a mixture of Nintendo and other companies' games, all of them were JRPGs. Used in the programs "Cita-citaku" and "Laptop si Unyil"
I mean, can you blame them for the Lost Woods theme? It tends to strike a chord (no pun intended) with large humanoid creatures who like to live detached from the human world.
Shrek stealing from Zelda?
I guess subverting fantasy stories goes beyond Disney.
I mean Link was based on Peter Pan, who is a fairytale character. Both have a lot of similarities, such as both wear a green tunic and hat, and having a fairy sidekick.
Bolsonaro also used His World from Sonic 06
6:08 pov you're in the lost woods but it's the night of the third day and the moon is about to crash lol
LOL It's like they didn't even try to hide it
Your videos are amazing!
6:48 finally! I finally know what that song is called! thanks!
I was a kid when one of my older brothers watched it, but I remember randomly hearing Saria’s Song during an episode of Run’s House.
Man its the ogers you'll never exspect
The first Ocarina of Time itself may have lifted it's music. To me, it sounds like the background music for one screen of Atari's Marble Madness.
Ocarina of Time extensively used samples from Zero-G Datafile CDs. Many games from that era did, possibly Marble Madness too. And whether either actually had the rights to use them commercially is unclear. I know of instances where composers just bought the CDs (which did not include a commercial license) and they simply ended up using them for their works. Not saying Nintendo did the same here but it wouldn't be totally out of the question...
I used to love that console as a kid, though I never had the Shrek game for it lol. Honestly doing this kind of thing on accident would be my worst fear as a composer. Who knows how many people have thought they were making a brand new track and then accidentally grabbed part of an existing song?
Yes!!! I love Thomas game docs i have been waiting for this!
Please do a lost media video on the 4kids F-Zero GP Legend English dub adaptation please
I played this game as a kid, crazy to learn about this
DANGANRONPA PFP DETECTED
i've actually heard 2 remixes of video game tracks in ads used in my country
the first i only heard once, being floral fury from cuphead. my younger cousins were (regretably for them) in the same room.
the second one i've heard a few times now. its the wii sport menu theme. i was so tired while watching a tv program with my grandma and when she said i could go to sleep if i wanted i heard the theme at restored my strength. i even have video proof.
6:08 Honestly, even though I know that this is basically just the A section for the OoT Lost Woods theme but transposed down slightly, I actually kinda like how it sounds like in comparison to the original? Like, it's not amazing or anything, especially with that dissonant fuckin' start, but the section afterwards sounds kinda cool when transposed like that, sounds more melancholic than the original which I definitely like; if one tried to make a cover in that same exact pitch or something similar and slowed it down, maybe even straight up make it a LoFi Hip Hop thing, I think it could sound pretty good lol
There’s the Sacred Grove version in Twilight Princess which sounds more melancholic.
I thought that until he said it’s hard to listen to now it is hard for me to listen to
It’s hard to listen because it’s waaay too high pitched. If you want a quieter version of the Lost Woods theme, check out the Sacred Grove theme from Twilight Princess.
2:25 holy smokes we are the exact same age
Same
I'm two years younger.
So I did some further digging and it says that VTech are reliant on its own in-house teams to make (or license) the software that its products need.
So it sounds like the VTech created this game themselves?
Glad to see you back
The opening theme to the game also kinda sounds like OoT's Fairy Fountain theme.
