@@miketheguy3 i didnt deserve such kindness from ur part my purpose was to blame myself after this tragic event but u just save my pride by saying this THX
@theze1danerd I totally agree with you with my experience of playing and beating all but 6. It just is so perfect how it builds from just a few instruments up to such a grand level
First it was Zelda’s Lullaby backwards that gave us Skyward Sword main theme. Now Hyrule Castle theme backwards gave us Lorule Castle. Not bad. Thanks for the info! :) I never knew.
This game is amazing. Did you know that, in order to get the top down perspective for the game, the developers had to tilt everything? Even Link himself!
It’s actually quite cool! I noticed it too when merging to the back of a house next to some grass. You can also see it with the totems near the water palace
@@masonengland306 An orthographic camera that views everything on an angle would give a similar effect without having to tilt everything, but in order to do that, it has to completely remove perspective. This worked for the ds zelda games where everything on screen was on a similar level, but dungeons in A link between worlds had places with several overlapping floors on different heights, all visible on the same screen. Places like the tower of Hera or the one massive cavern inside of death mountain would lose its sense of depth if lower levels did not shrink in perspective as you went higher up.
I love how the music gets more intense as you advance. This became a tradition with BOTW's Divine Beasts and TOTK's temples. This was an epic Zelda game.
It's actually a bit of a Zelda tradition in general with final dungeons, as Ocarina of Time's Ganon Tower and Twilight Princess' Hyrule Castle did this too
@@gameplayxtreme3389 Yeah you're right...OoT had Ganon's theme get louder every floor, and I think TP's Ganon theme intensified as you got closer to the top of Hyrule Castle.
This game was pretty damn solid for what was supposed to just be an experiment to see how more freedom can affect the Zelda formula. I'm glad to see elements of it being implemented in the series today, and the escalating soundtrack is one of the best.
Skyward sword's skyview temple does this you first enter with tranquil tone and you get to the small room with the water and four doors you hear clarinet, and when you get to that big room you hear choirs!
@@zackerymoyano Nintendo went on a rampage and took down 3500 Nintendo music videos in one day. No one knows why but the original channel who posted this and a ton more Nintendo music (GilvaSunner) had almost all his content removed. It sucks.
@@ethanyoung9011 I saw that earlier today, really messed up my mood since I go to their channel a lot. Wanted to listen to certain Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess music, but they were taken down. Nintendo makes great games, but real shit decisions when it comes to the fans. Like, if you aren’t going to release the OST or make a good remaster of a game to your newest console (OoT and MM for switch), then don’t be pissed when other people do the work for you. There is going to be a OoT remaster made on the Unreal Engine which will release soon, I recommend to you that when it releases that you download the game somehow ASAP because Nintendo will more than likely take it down.
Lorule castle is absolutely incredible. It’s my favorite soundtrack not in just ALBW, but the entire Zelda series. I love how it grows in intensity as you get closer to the Throne room and how your going to fight Yuga with the Master Sword and the triforce of courage.
I agree. I remember reading a magazine when I was in primary school with the game on and that was the first time I heard of it alongside one of the Mario and Luigi games. Now I’m in 2nd year of University. How time flies!
Wasn’t my comment, but that’s actually what I did when I played this game years and years ago for the first time. Hiding under the covers in the room so my mother wouldn’t see 🤣. Man. It’s so crazy that this game is 9 years old.
@@MrXtr1 Not really, it gains instruments by "room completion". I did'nt play this game in years tbh, but unless there are some mini-boss / boss rematch in the castle (I have no clue tbh), then it's not related to bosses. (I fougth you meant the dungeon rewards in your first com, that's why I mentionned the paintings)
When I was in high school when this game first came out, I had downloaded this song to my phone. It was the perfect length for me to walk between the 2 sites of the school.
The fact that more layers are added to the song as you progress upwards and unlock more areas is absolutely GENIOUS to me, and i didnt even realise it was Hyrule Castle in reverse until a few years after my 1st playthrough
A nice detail with this song, for every miniboss you beat in the castle, more instruments are added to the theme, making it more intese the further you get.
I might be nearly blinded by my nostalgia goggles but holy shit this is the best final dungeon theme out of all the zeldas none of them even come close
These people destroyed their own Triforce, to prevent its misuse, and their world is crumbling into a chaotic nothingness. Link's burden is never greater. He seemingly can't win. If he lets Hyrule die, he's failed as its hero. If he lets Lorule die, what will the gods think of mortals who would rather choose self-destruction?
Plenty of people would call you a fetus too bro. My first was either this or the 3D OOT remake, can't remember. I had a Wii when I was little but didn't get SS or TP on it until much later. I was not aware of their existence
I began with OoT when i was 4 r 5 it was like 18 years ago on the old N64 of my uncle and im so nostalgic when i heard OoT tracks (most iconic zelda themes)
I used to "speedrun" this game when i was like, 6. One of my favorite things to do was getting through the desert without shifting dimension, and then i learned that was a speedrun technique and just started doing it all the time because it made me feel cool lol. I miss the early 2010's.
The 3DS really had some great original games. I need to play this one again. I remember 100% completing it years ago was a lot of fun, but now I've forgotten most of it.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I just finished the game today and it was as amazing as everyone says. Thanks to the comments below I learned that this is the Hyrule Castle theme reversed and that there was an awesome let's play of someone playing through ALBW that I must see.
I remeber beating this game in like 3 days right after launch, so I had forgotten all about it. And the things I do remember come from ALTTP. Glad I came across one of the OG songs from the game. Great song.
Even though Koji Kondo is a music god (Especially his Zelda compositions. Ryo Nagamatsu is the composer of A Link between worlds. He also did the Triforce Heroes ost and Link's Awakening remake ost

@@miketheguy3 I disagree I remember hearing this in the game and it sounds about the same.
One of the best dungeon themes in the entire series.

This and Stone Tower Temple theme are definitely top 2
@theze1danerd I totally agree with you with my experience of playing and beating all but 6. It just is so perfect how it builds from just a few instruments up to such a grand level
it's weird cause i never really consider the final dungeon a dungeon lol, idk maybe it's ause there's no item lol
@highdefinition450 that's fair, most dungeons have items, though final dungeons generally don't. Guess I never thought of it that way
Fun fact its the a link to the past Castle theme backwards with a crescendo..the composers sure had fun with this music.
First it was Zelda’s Lullaby backwards that gave us Skyward Sword main theme. Now Hyrule Castle theme backwards gave us Lorule Castle. Not bad. Thanks for the info! :) I never knew.
No way, that can't be true. I can only handle so much awesomeness

Its easily in the top 10 themes in the hole zelda series
The music also grows in TP when you get closer of Ganondorf in the Hyrule Castle
you know it´s getting serious, when the choir kicks in
its crazy this game is 10 years old. I remember being hyped back when I was in middle school, now Im about to graduate college
ITS WHAT
Delete this.
curse you for giving me the gift of knowledge, now i feel old.

Playing this in band would be
amazing!
The composers must have had fun with this one!
Shoutouts to the guy who beat the game at 2 AM, all because this music pushed him on.

Damn, I forgot the composer pulled a full on funky mode with this one. So much weird tonality and tons of key changes, it's fantastic!
I remember playing the game the first tim 8 years ago what a time this was my first zelda
i randomly remember this theme today
If In the hall of the mountain king and the legend of Zelda had a child
The excitement knowing you're getting closer and closer to the end! one of the best themes in the franchise

I am done. very good game, love the ending
Lol fellow citra player here! Originally downloaded citra just for pokemon but this game surprised me in terms of quality
Underrated game. It is out for 10 years now and nobody plays or streams this game at all
This song is an amazing final dungeon theme, ramping up in intensity all as Link rips and tears his way to Ganon
Build up of epic proportions
This would the best song to play in band
I love this theme so much! Definitely the best part of the game
masterpiece
Koji outdid himself with this one honestly
Even though Koji Kondo is a music god (Especially his Zelda compositions. Ryo Nagamatsu is the composer of A Link between worlds. He also did the Triforce Heroes ost and Link's Awakening remake ost
Lol Koji didn't write this!
The last piece of music he wrote for the Zelda franchise (so far) was 1 track in Skyward Sword (the prologue)
My guy, the last Zelda game Kondo composed for was Four Swords Adventure in 2004.
Koji didn't make this song
Nintendo does the best progressive music ever.
That makes me want to play this game again
Best gameplay in the Zelda franchise yet, hope next gen console zelda takes notes
The xylophone at 3:14 sounds like skeletons. Makes me picture Link fighting a Stalfos at that part
This has amazing buildup
i just beat this game like 10 minutes ago and im back to listening to this as if i didnt just spend hours in lorule castle already
