It’s at times aggressive…others, mournful…foreboding…even hopeful. So many emotions captured in one composition and expressed with minimal arrangement. Truly a masterpiece.
Vaati: hey man I heard you play a nice organ, think you can come to my castle and play some of that music. Ganondorf: ok, but in return you have to promise that if you die or get sealed, than I can bring you back as my servant. Do we have a deal here. Vaati: sure. I dont see any down side for me here, I mean what's the actual likelyhood that some kids gonna beat me.
Imagine this. Fade from dark to a dark image of a Castle. Dimly lit dining room with an organ. Bright bathroom light upstairs. Vaati brushing his teeth with night gown on. Ganandorf is playing the organ. You can faintly see Zelda locked in the tower window behind bars. Ganandorf plays on. Vaati gets in bed with teddy bear. Ganon continues. Zelda falls asleep. Vaati snores. Ganon. Snoring fades in, camera pans out of the frame. Mario is laying on his side snoring in peaches castle, getting rest before jumping in.
i personally felt with the emphasis on wind in the wind waker, he should appear somewhere in the adult time line, maybe a future game after spirit tracks, we find out vaati still exists somewhere, and he is using his windy wind mage powers to cause havoc on everything that exists in the great sea. It would be a great opportunity to bring him back.
This theme, captures perfectly, in a word: *Despair* Imo this is the best version of this theme simply for that reason. You awaken to find this place you've visited so often; twisted and unrecognizable. All on the eve of epic cataclysm. And you, being the last best hope this world has at defeating this rising evil are all which stands between salvation and annihilation. From the lowest point of the Sanctuary, through the dark mangled halls, up to the final bridge bringing you to a final showdown with this apprentice of Darkness. Minish Cap, you were an unexpected gem. And Still are. 💚
Bro do you believe me if I say that word along with the lines perfectly described that freeing day from my abusing childhood life. It was my last year of teen years and that day my dad entered in my house causing havoc (he was on a trip and we were expecting his return but didn't know exactly when so our mentality was not peaceful and fearing the next big upcoming disaster) and guess what that day I was playing minish cap after closing alttp and I entered the now dark castle as that was my last dungeon and surveyed it. Then he opened the door. And shit went down. It was even raining just like in alttp as I saved the princess and brought her to the sanctuary (restarted from beginning). Little did I know that it was the last time I would see him, while I was being transported to the nearest hospital on an ambulance during twilight the next day. Idk if it was for shock but my brain couldn't stop playing the hyrule castle theme from alttp on loop. The night between that night and the day after I played botw in silence as I couldn't sleep and was trying so bad to get distracted from my moved jaw lol. After the court processes and stuff I took time to reenter minish cap and defeat Vaati.
averyspecialdog e Maybe even a continuation? With these new mechanics on the Switch I think it would be cool to have to fight Vaati or a successor to Vaati that managed to escape Zelda's wish.
@@1zeldalover The "fetish hat" LOL. Also, I don't see why The Minish Cap needs a remake. What's wrong with sprite-based games? Though I admit it'd be nice to not be limited by the GBA's crappy sound chip.
@@potatoking4227 I only got my hands on minishc ap like 4 years ago as an adult, but i loved every minute of it. I have also played the underated oracle games as well. I have never played a truly bad zelda game. I also feel it would be cool if nintendo would bring vaati back in the adult timeline sometime in the future. With the emphasis on winds in the wind waker, it would make sense for a wind mage like vaati to possibly arise someday, trying to use his wind mage powers to wreck havoc on future generations of the great sea. A side story most likely.
LukeMarco Guagliardo this is the unified timeline with Minsh cap taking in the era of men after skyward sword and at least hundreds of years before the hylian civil war began aka before the birth of the first major ganondorf who is the starting main important villain to the split unverise aka adult era child era and down fall branch And this is the first time in the story we hear the hyrule castle theme continuity wise
1woldhath The game is definitely good, no doubt about that. not quite as long as a full console Zelda, but it is my favorite handheld Zelda. but Twilight Princess is my favorite period :}
For me it ties with a bunch of others. Between this, A Link To The Past, Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, and Skyward Sword, I have a really hard time picking one as my favorite.
For me 1.- Wind Waker 2.- A Link to the Past 3.- Ocarina of Time 4.- Minish Cap 5.- Twilight Princess 6.- Majora's Mask 7.- Skyward Sword 8.- A Link Between Worlds 9.- Link's Awakening 10.- Adventure of Link 11.- Oracle of Ages 12.- Oracle of Seasons 13.- Spirit Tracks 14.- The Legend of Zelda 15.- Phantom Hourglass 16.- Four Swords Adventures 17.- Four Swords Note: I didn't include neither Triforce Heroes nor Breath of the Wild because I haven't played them... YET
The first major villian since Demise, Skyward Link and Zelda watch their Minish Cap descendants from above go against Vaati in hopes they will succeed as many generations like Ocarina, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker ect depend on it.
I remember how I always started the game only to enter the castle and put the volume up and listening to it for hours. I've shown it to my friends as a kid and played it in hallways for the echo. It was so fun As a kid, I've struggled so much to defeat Vaati. I had spent hours, days and weeks staring at my gba and fighting him until I finally succeeded. This game was the first zelda game that was mine at the time. I had begged my mom to buy it. Before that I had always watched my older brother play zelda oot, mm and alttp. After I've finished my own game (mc) I've started to play many more. Beating Oot, mm, tp, ss, ph and albw... I'm so glad that I was able to experience these games, even somehow witnessing the change from 2d to 3d a little bit, even tho they are blurry memories (mostly of my brother defeating oot ganon)
I´d love a Zelda the minish cap remake. I played minish cap about 4 times now and I want a minish cap game for 3ds, I even asked nintendo if they woudl make one, but they said they wouldn´t know if tehy make one. If they won´t, I´m sad
To enter Hyrule Castle again only to see that evil has taken over from the inside out. Personal when I first played this game from the instant I heard this number and while it’s epic in it’s own right, it also deeply pained me to no end to see the inside of Hyrule Castle completely defiled this way
platano214 Early in the Zelda timeline? Mate, Skyward Sword is right before Minish Cap in the Zelda timeline but fairies still recover all of your health in SS.
Felix Actually they recover 6 hearts. The only type of Fairy that fully heals is the fairy that appears on a Sheikah Stone when you play the Song of the Storms
I heard the intro during this part of the game and I got excited... then when the song continued, I actually got a little too scared to move from the first area 😶... Powerful theme
Also, wouldn’t mind an extra where they pay some kind of homage to the Minish Cap manga in said remake, but that’ll never happen. Wishful thinking for me.
It’s really frustrating this dungeon, it’s so hard because of those big ass knights, but dam! This is the coolest dungeon, and the theme is perfect! But decrease the pitch a little bit, and it will should sound more Dark. I mean Really dark.
@@wildflower2760 im gonna be honest, earlier i didnt like it but it is my channel namesake, but now i really love it due to the Nintendo switch online SNES emulator

Nintendo really likes this song.
I can see why
This song is amazing, in all variations.
It is, in how you say:
Very resaple.
because its an uplifting song, well in this variation its more a calming one.
It’s at times aggressive…others, mournful…foreboding…even hopeful. So many emotions captured in one composition and expressed with minimal arrangement. Truly a masterpiece.
Vaati clearly hired Ganondorf to play that mean organ.
Vaati: hey man I heard you play a nice organ, think you can come to my castle and play some of that music.
Ganondorf: ok, but in return you have to promise that if you die or get sealed, than I can bring you back as my servant. Do we have a deal here.

Snoring fades in, camera pans out of the frame. Mario is laying on his side snoring in peaches castle, getting rest before jumping in.
Yea and then he made a prepare to cry video
I want a remake of Minish cap or anything in that universe. I want to know so much more about Vaati, he was an excellent antagonist.
I believe he's dead in one timeline now.
i personally felt with the emphasis on wind in the wind waker, he should appear somewhere in the adult time line, maybe a future game after spirit tracks, we find out vaati still exists somewhere, and he is using his windy wind mage powers to cause havoc on everything that exists in the great sea.

@Serious Face Well he is kinda dead, so we won't be seeing another spinoff.

And ironically vaati is stronger than Ganon it takes 4 links 😳
Definitely my favorite 2d Zelda game along with Four Swords Adventures.

Honestly tho, Vaati has some insane interior design skills
@@LiterallyScarecrow not only is it a great design the reconstruction was instant as wel
The giants were kinda annoing
Good theme, pain in the ass dungeon
Those darknuts... >:((((
oh god those trio darknuts (tho this dungeon was easier than the fortress of winds which gave me oh so much pain)
Not really, just keep your shield on, and when your shield deflects it, you will have about a second to hit the darknuts.
Those three darknuts just before vaati make me want to cry with the time limit

The Best version of the song! :3
Suubway Rocker Nowadays, that’s debatable

My favorite Hyrule Castle theme! Eventhough the second part of the theme is not played, this very short and slow version sounds very dark.
Larangé Nicolas hence the name dark hyrule castle
no, the second part is there, you're thinking of the 3rd part, the C part
When I first heard this, I got a plethora of chills. Absolutely wonderful.
Ganondorf is playing the organ confirmed
LukeMarco Guagliardo this is before ocarina of time so, what he said
It is obviously Vaati

I just beat the game like two days ago and did exactly this.
Yeah i should have done that
Nope not the only one
It actually is webbed into the Theme in botw
Im so happy i found emulator on pc. Just replayed this game and spent and extra amount of time in dark castle specifically because of this theme
The first time I played this game I was so happy they reused this song.
Me and the boys always used to play Zelda in real life at recess
lol
I THOUGHT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES. YES
@@LiterallyScarecrow BRO SAME FINALLY A ZELDA FAN
Same lmao
for me it was secret of mana when i was ten.
Minish Cap for 4th best Zelda Game, and second best handheld Zelda Game.
I have always placed it at number one Zelda game. Period. I feel totally alone on this.
You are not alone, mate
I share your opinion
1woldhath The game is definitely good, no doubt about that. not quite as long as a full console Zelda, but it is my favorite handheld Zelda. but Twilight Princess is my favorite period :}
For me it ties with a bunch of others.
Between this, A Link To The Past, Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, and Skyward Sword, I have a really hard time picking one as my favorite.
For me
1.- Wind Waker
2.- A Link to the Past
3.- Ocarina of Time
4.- Minish Cap
5.- Twilight Princess
6.- Majora's Mask
7.- Skyward Sword
8.- A Link Between Worlds
9.- Link's Awakening
10.- Adventure of Link
11.- Oracle of Ages
12.- Oracle of Seasons
13.- Spirit Tracks
14.- The Legend of Zelda
15.- Phantom Hourglass
16.- Four Swords Adventures
17.- Four Swords

This is the only Zelda song I love more than life.
A link to the past
The minish cap
between worlds
Very good music, also nice art with the Darknut
I'm still wondering why Fairies only gave you four hearts though.
Because this early in the Zelda timeline and faeries did not any better :-)

They give you lots of minish sized hearts which equals 4 big hearts 😂
Sounds like a mix of hyrule castle and stone tower temple if you ask me
The image of link fighting a darknut was my mental image as a child of my encounter with one in the castle.
0:06-0:12 a bit like stone tower from majora’s mask
The best version without a doubt

my evil castles theme i will have 4 darknut captains in every room so try to kill me now hah hah hah
louis napolitano
I can. Bwahahahahaha!

looking at the darknuts made me realize something: they look alarmingly Hyrulean... Link vs the best knight of Hyrule
