The Brilliance of Ocarina of Time's Opening Music

Today I took a look at the opening theme from Ocarina of Time and dove into the music theory behind it, how it relates to the plot, and why it is one of my favorite themes from a video game ever. I hope you enjoyed watching and let me know what you wanna see next!

So much of Zelda’s music is jam packed with inspiration from jazz I love it so much

[@Sekiath]

Ill never forget the feeling of seeing this melancholy opening when I was only ~6 years old.

I'm just happy I'm not the only one who holds ocarina of time opening theme song close to heart. Your breakdown was brilliant because I would love to learn how to play this song someday

[@enzoarayamorales7220]

I think you learn literally right now if you have a piano you can get it by ear or watch the piano keys he’s playing

[@DaHatBat]

That piano tone is golden. *keyboard. Good viedo!

[@DrewRichmond]

Thanks! It’s great plugin called hammers & waves. Great sounds on there.

Ik some other people have said this but dude i feel so nostalgic whenever i hear this theme and ive nvr even played the Zelda games lol. This was a great analysis tho 👍

[@tonbane]

Beautiful analysis! Thank you for doing this :) I love playing the Oot intro on my piano and now I see the importance of the strings bringing cohesion, that's what I was lacking!

[@BubblenutMcMuffin]

This was a very cohesive breakdown of the track; seeing what K.K. could've done to bring closure to the song as well as alternative ways he could've arranged it, showing that even though there were more standard cords and progression that would be more likely to be used, he chose a very unique and purposeful arrangement. Well done

It is always cool too see someone break down music to what it is doing to make you feel a certain way. Keep up the great work, this video is great at doing that, plus seeing the notes played on screen is nice

[@mrister24]

First time on your channel, this was a great video! No fluff, but also allowing breathing time to the topic.

[@cameronshutters1760]

[@ChristopherA20N]

Just got this recommended and I genuinely can't believe you don't have more views and subscribers. This is really nice, you've certainly got my sub!
Ocarina of Time is my all time favorite game and I really agree with you saying it's one of, if not the best opening theme of any game.
Can't wait to see what you have in store for the future!

[@DrewRichmond]

Thank you! It’s my favorite game as well. Close second being breath of the wild.
