I had saved my first horse, Puddles, from his Bokoblin jockey. We both saw Kakariko Village, Hateno Village, and so many other locations together. He was my first and only horse. I didn’t take him to Hyrule Castle in fear that he would get hurt. Imagine my surprise when I’m teleported out to face Ganon, one last time, and there’s Puddles, faithfully waiting. Absolute Legend.
Just Dylan TV In the LatAm version, she says "I'm not sure if you have recovered all your powers or all of your memories… but I'm sure that your courage is still unbreakable." For this time, the English version nailed it.
I just listened to it repeatedly because I couldn't figure out what to do. It took be a good 10 minutes to figure out that I actually had to dismount my horse.
This needs some clarification. Ganon is the reincarnation of the dark god Demise. He cannot be destroyed. To give up reincarnation in this case means that he has given up taking on a physical human form and has instead emerged as a spirit entity.
That probably was still his most chaotic form. If ganondorf is really back in botw 2, he’ll be a lot more intelligent in his actions, but based on his eyes in the trailer, who knows.
This line was mistranslated/confusingly written. The original is along the lines of “he’s taken this form due to his obsessive refusal to give up on reincarnation”
@@amanofnoreputation2164 weirder part is the fact that on the post credits scene, Zelda states that Ganon "may be gone for now", which makes yer head scratch.
This is actually really genius. I don't know if it was intentional, but for the first minute or so (and beyond for some parts), it's as if two songs are battling for the spotlight; the normal battle theme remixed with the castle theme, and the main theme. It's like the battle theme is Ganon and the Main theme is Link.
i’m very late to this but after a lot of thinking, i got the impression that the piano is representative of ganon, whereas every other instrument is symbolising hyrule. The main theme that plays behind the piano in this, which also plays when you behold hyrule as link for the first time, sound as if though its fighting the piano, an outside source. A battle between hyrule and calamity ganon.
I swear to god this song makes me feel Link's emotions and hear his thoughts as he goes through all of this. Imagine hearing about a 'you' from 100 years ago, wondering if you are the same as him, if you are better or worse, if you're living up to everyone's expectations of him. Before sleeping by a fire, you wonder about it every night. Can you do this? Can you save her? Can you really defeat this brewing evil that has been waiting for this moment for 100 years? Everything Link has had to put up with is unleashed here. He's had to go through having this responsibility from a past him thrown onto his shoulders, knowing his past friends are dead, having to see their faces again, though they're transparent, battling the monsters that killed them, knowing they're only an ounce of the final enemy's strength and anger. To finally end the monster that took everything takes away the stress that was slowly breaking Link. This song truly is one of the best in gaming history and should be remembered.
That is the power of music, It can make you feel like someone else , it can make you feel happy or sad or literally any other feelings. I got my girlfriend in love with music.
@@oniboyy I don´t think it was easy. In fact, I think Calamity Ganon is one of the harder bosses ever in video gaming history. The thing is, that everyone tells you at the start of the game not to go against Ganon yet. And you follow the advise, and start growing stronger and stronger. So, by the time you finally go against Ganon you are so well prepared that it may seem easy. But try to kill him with bad armour, not enough food, bad weapons that break preatty easy, no help from the chosen ones, no master sword... I can´t even imagine myself doing that
Depends. I usually fight him again. So it's either Epona or the White Horse Descendant (whom I called Zelda) usually, or this horse that looks exactly like the Memory Horse that Link has.
The ending gives me serious chills every time. The melody repeats itself as the eye opens on the beast of ganon: his very core. You then move Link with your controller for the last time, jumping from your horse and into the air. Link draws an arrow in the bow of light with the champions unseen, but present. That moment turns into the moment of truth. Every hour you put into the game led up to that moment. You then release the ZR button, and you defeat Ganon at last. Link may be just a nintendo character, but the story and journey you went through together barely seems fiction.
I didn’t know you had to jump from the horse so I kept on shooting arrows at the eye but it kept on closing and it happened for a while and I was pretty frustrated so that really ruined the ending for me
I love how the piano, which until now has accompanied you mostly as spare arpeggios and light ambient music, is by this point chomping at the bit to go FUCKING INSANE and pull out every goddamn trick they've got. It's like the pianist welcomed a demon into their body and let the fuck loose on the keyboard.
His/her hands have prolly fallen off lol. I've played piano for 11 years and this is HARD. Here's the sheet music if you wanna look at it (and this is written for easier mode!).

You See a flash of light and you notice that you are in the grasslands. Next to you is your horse. You turn around and see the dark beast known as Ganon. You pull out the master sword and the Hylian shield and prepare to battle the Dark Beast. You jump onto your horse as you rush to the bow of light,you grab the bow,and you hear these words in your ears... *Courage Need Not Be Remembered.* *For It Is Never Forgotten.*
Slit the dark beast phase is so much easier than the first, the first is hard af when you face it for the first time, especially during master mode, however it’s still pretty fun.
I love how this theme is the main theme but with ganon's past themes in it it just sounds like ganon it trying to take over the main theme and everything witch he is and this theme helps show this its just amazing :D♡.♡
I had a pinscher which i named him "neguinho", he died 3 months before i finished botw. To honor my beloved dog i named my horse the same name as his, i didnt take him to the castle in fear that he would get hurt. When i teleported back to the field to fight ganon i was surprised that my horse joined the fight with me. I literally fought ganon while crying remembering my beloved dog, during the fight i felt he was right there fighting the malice and guilt that resided inside my heart. I Love u neguinho

Mexican Giovan I have played many Zelda games but I did not beat them,but Breath of the Wild I beat it in 5 days and I feel like I accomplished something for once.
I almost cried during this boss fight. Not only was the music beautiful, but the moment you where in, It was so dramatic and epic and beautiful all at the same time. Thanks a lot nintendo, you made me cry again.
Faliz18 Well then who is? EDIT: In hindsight, this wasn’t a very fair comment to make. I appreciate the point you were trying to make more now, but I still steadfastly stand by my statement after this response.
Faliz18 While I can understand what you're saying I think that's a bit of a leap in logic, I'm sure all he meant was that loves this piece with perhaps a little bit of juvenile hyperbole. I doubt he literally meant it is objectively the most intricate piece of music ever composed, it's just his opinion and he is expressing how much he loves it. I love it too.
I am an eight grader pianist. I am playing this song, solo, for my piano recital. I have spent three months on this piece, and it has not been easy. But taking the time to really understand the music has been its own journey. You get the chance to fully understand Links emotions throughout the battle. Ganon’s unrelenting, firelike rage in the piano is fully demonstrated throughout the piece. Link and Zelda’s battle for light in the strings. Beautiful. The depth of this game and this piece is something special. Tears of the Kingdom is one week away, I hope it delivers just as it’s predecessor did.
5:05 and on man... that's emotional I think of it as the cries of 100 years finally coming to an end, the suffering of thousands along with Link's closest friends pleading for him to finish it all and save them, avenge them.. its hard to explain the actual feeling I get, but the emotion of a century of absolute torment, finally free to rest since the calamity is now stopped. _man I love this game_
I'm sorry I'm a bit late to the game but I got this about a month ago, I bet everyone would consider it easy but I considered it grinding cuz I suck at single player games, but during the end I hesitated to shoot the guys eye because I was thinking this is it, we finally made it, just simply everything we have been working towards and then I started thinking what links story was about and I just saw the deeper meaning, the writing of the story itself was what convinced me to buy the sequel in May even though I just started on the franchise
@@snsvideos5472 , welcome, you won't be dissapointed, Zelda is a wonderful and complex and deep franchise in general, with a lot of story and lore and a cronology, even if sometimes on the outside it doesn't seem so, if you dig a little deeper you start to see the tail of something much deeper, and it's because it is in general, so complex and so much story and lore that it can be confusing sometimes, but it's awesome, and I love games with a lot of story and lore that are really deep and meaningful and make you feel things
@@doloresgronenberg5882 very well said, also thanks for responding, it really gets my hopes up considering all the comments seem to come from people that seem mature enough, and that people just play this still, I saw a lot of the dates on the videos posted which made me realize that it came out a long time ago but based on all the people commenting on my comments as well as other people's videos that this franchise still has a strong player base or fan base, so I'm excited that this is a legitimate thing on its own, anyway thanks again! 👍 and you might see my comments on some other videos lol
Everyone is mad this fight was easy. I think the point was to make a fight that felt fluid and epic. It doesn't have to be hard to HIT you hard. The final boss of Shadow Of The Colossus (a game that is only Boss fights) is much easier than the other bosses. You dodge his magic attack which is easy if you know what you're doing, and then the ascent to his head is simple, easy, and painless. The other colosi thrash and attack and scream while you're on them, while the final Colossus simply looks on curiously at what you may be doing on him. His vicious attacks and threatening stature are taken down by his docile behavior. However this fight is the most powerful of all. The moving music and somber tone is as amazing as it should be. The final music and the fact your trusty steed accompany you in the final fight against Ganon make for an atmospheric experience. Hearing the theme we'd been teased with for 5 years played with the same piano that accompanied us the whole game playing fast and triumphant should be satisfying you people. And keep in mind the DLC pack is a whole new story line. Calamity Ganon may not even be the FINAL boss. The ending is a sort of cliff hanger.
I agree with you cus i felt the same ...the fight felt, yes, easy as all would like to say, but also quite epic, and you forgot to mention that this part has the best line that Zelda says in the entire game, a very quotable one and also, the way she helps you is quite important for the story and serves to settle more her character. And that's without mentioning how they make you use the slow mo for the final shot directly to the head, sealing the deal with shear epicness.
how big brain do you feel right now having predicted breath of the wild 2: the phantom ganon mummified corpse? i came here to remind you. that you are. in fact. correct.
Yes, but the fight was so easy that it ruined the epic atmosphere. Heck you Don't even need your horse and the light arrows to beat the boss. Personally, I would have add a timer to the fight, to reflect how Dangerous the Dark Beast would be if Link doesn't defeat it right now, it would have been better
XanderVJ Actually, yes, I did need her help quite a few times, and I've played about three times! I'll admit, I'm not the best at dodging, and the very first phase could have killed me had I not defeated all the Divine Beasts. So Mipha did save my sorry self while I recklessly chipped away at Calamity Ganon's health.
I remember passing my very last college exam ever with this in my ears. After so many years of struggle, it really amplified the "final boss" vibe I felt.
This has got to be one of the coolest soundtracks in the entire game, it just keeps getting more exiting the farther you get with the fight. The people who made this music are LEGENDS
This piece is so amazing. From Ganon’s theme in the bass to Link represented in the main theme, and, as I see it, Zelda in the occasional flute. The piano sounds like it represents the fierce battle. The key change in the middle of the song sounds triumphant, Link and Zelda are winning the fight, you can barely get Ganon in the bass anymore. The transition to the final repeating notes, all the turmoil in the song is gone, it’s time to end it, and you can hear a note that’s reminiscent of the tone that Zelda’s power creates. And when you finally lease that arrow, the music stops, all you hear is the ring of Zelda’s power, overcoming Ganon’s malice, till silence, and a white screen. It’s over. This song, and this game, is beautiful.
The high pitched note that repeats itself definitely represents how Zelda is about to burst the moment that arrow of light strikes the eye, but also you can hear the bass in the back and it kinda shows how Ganon might finally realize he’s lost
That moment when you're shooting the final arrow and zelda shouts Link do it! (May be something else, haven't played in forever, lost the cartridge, wish i could download from the store) was so epic i still get goosebumps
What I love most about this piece is the fact that they basically mixed links theme with the chaotic piano of ganons theme into perfect harmony resembling yin and Yang, this games sound track is so good with so many musical elements and techniques I love it
I really love how this starts off with terror in the presence of Ganon, then we hear the piano fade in. This reminds Link that he must win, then there is the battle kicking off (Link realizing, this will be the final fight) its perfect Link going from terrorized to adrenaline pumping to on his toes ready to fight. This truly does capture Links bravery and terror at the same time. Also I love how at the end it gets faster and more suspenseful (Link now determined to defeat Ganon, knowing he will) I know the triforce of courage isn't used but this embodies courage at its finest, being scared on the inside but overcoming that fear. btw the roars of the beast in the background bring you to the setting.
My favorite reference in Botw is the final battle of Dark Beast Ganon, and the overall musicality of the song. At the very beginning it introduces such a "dark beat" that is consistent all the way through. The song truly begins with it's reference to the field battle theme with the piano solo, then transitions into the game's main theme, but with a twist. I can't say for sure if it is, but I'm pretty confident the main theme in the battle was written in a minor key, to give the "world is ending" type feel the song. In addition, it has a piano harmony referencing riding a horse throughout the overworld. In the middle of the piece it "slows down" a bit for a peaceful motif using the flutes' solo, reminding the player of the peacefulness they are fighting for. To top it all off, the song transitions to Ganondorf's main theme, reminding the player it truly is the fight for Hyrule. This is only phase one though, transition into phase two and the song introduces a heroic motif. The song becomes a smaller loop of the main theme, but back in a major key like it was written for. It still contains the piano harmony of riding the horse and suspenseful "dark beat" from the very first note performed, yet it introduces the heroic trumpets in the background to rise the player's morale. "I can do this! Hyrule can win!" That is what I believe this sounds like. Then to the final phase of shooting the classic eyeball, a short simple tune to top the entire battle off, with Zelda's Lullaby being partially used in this theme, a reference to her holding Ganon back for a hundred years. Dark Beast Ganon's theme I feel is a masterpiece, and an underrated one. Many references coming together to create a piece of music that represents the battle for Hyrule. Unfortunately I don't feel like the battle itself truly lived up to its piece, which may be why this piece of music is so underrated.
I just imagine, people of all corners of hyrule waking to the divine beasts launching their attack, seeing the castle hit and seeing dark beast ganon on hyrule field. The very being that brought hyrule to ruin 100 years ago and continued too after. Just an overall epic scene and fight to experience
My interpretation: the ending sounds unfinished, like it's missing the last notes to a contending end. I think it reflects how link's battle with Ganon is not yet finished either (hence BoTW2). Pretty cool foreshadowing for people to pick up on.
Im pretty sure that in the context of the score it's a vamp (a few measures indefinitely repeating until a cue) for the player to shoot Ganon's eye, I do like your interpretation though
You can complain about how easy this battle was all you want, but it is epic as hell! The music, the horse ride, Zelda landing the final shot, everything. It’s basically a reward for the player working so hard throughout the game.
I love how it sounds like a heroic theme clashing against ganons more menacing theme. The song itself sounds like these two forces of good and evil fighting.
I want someone to make a piano tutorial for the piano part. The video starts, and it's just a piano. Then someone starts screaming and body slams said piano. End of video

Coolest...cuz he was a pig!
Slit the dark beast phase is so much easier than the first, the first is hard af when you face it for the first time, especially during master mode, however it’s still pretty fun.
And there were 5 of him and no other bosses (non dlc)
The music gives the feeling that everyone and everything is depending on you.
The final chance to save the world...
That's the point
Exactly
Link's courage in the strings, Zelda's wisdom in the winds, Ganon's unrelenting hatred in the piano and organ
Brilliant crescendo

I love how this theme is the main theme but with ganon's past themes in it it just sounds like ganon it trying to take over the main theme and everything witch he is and this theme helps show this its just amazing :D♡.♡
3:13 that key change is legendary. Gets me every time.
So Did anyone else come back to this masterpiece of a music after the latest trailer?
TotK getting GOTY for sure. People thought BOTW was peak Zelda but this new game is making Botw look like a joke in comparison
yup. guilty.
Guilty
Zelda was sent to the past in TOTK.
Almost there
It’s like the third part tells you repeatedly “It’s almost over, just one shot”
I had a pinscher which i named him "neguinho", he died 3 months before i finished botw. To honor my beloved dog i named my horse the same name as his, i didnt take him to the castle in fear that he would get hurt. When i teleported back to the field to fight ganon i was surprised that my horse joined the fight with me. I literally fought ganon while crying remembering my beloved dog, during the fight i felt he was right there fighting the malice and guilt that resided inside my heart. I Love u neguinho
Caramba, que comentário lindo. Quase me fez chorar, mano. Descanse em Paz Neguinho
@@adriangoncalvesa.c1431 não tenho mais culpa pela morte dele por conta de botw, sou só grato dele ter existido na minha vida.

This was my first Zelda game and I beat it and was the best game I've played so far
Definitely, was my first game and now im hooked on the series
Mexican Giovan I have played many Zelda games but I did not beat them,but Breath of the Wild I beat it in 5 days and I feel like I accomplished something for once.
Mexican Giovan Same here
Mexican Giovan you should play other zelda they are all awesome
Its the first game to get only good scores on a website i cant spell apparently
I almost cried during this boss fight. Not only was the music beautiful, but the moment you where in, It was so dramatic and epic and beautiful all at the same time. Thanks a lot nintendo, you made me cry again.
I almost cried too, I fekt something that I couldn't explain so far...
That “courage need not be remembered for it is never forgotten” HITS🔥🔥🔥
Galloping on the horse to this is perfect!

Did anybody try this fight using the Master Cycle Zero?
Did anybody try this fight riding the Master Cycle Zero?
One of the best pieces of music ever.
Agreed
sigh...i dont think you're qualified to make that judgment
Faliz18 Well then who is?
EDIT: In hindsight, this wasn’t a very fair comment to make. I appreciate the point you were trying to make more now, but I still steadfastly stand by my statement after this response.
Bernstein, Karajan, Dudamel, Theileman, etc, you know, actual composers who know music and not some kid on youtube?
Faliz18 While I can understand what you're saying I think that's a bit of a leap in logic, I'm sure all he meant was that loves this piece with perhaps a little bit of juvenile hyperbole. I doubt he literally meant it is objectively the most intricate piece of music ever composed, it's just his opinion and he is expressing how much he loves it. I love it too.
I am an eight grader pianist. I am playing this song, solo, for my piano recital. I have spent three months on this piece, and it has not been easy. But taking the time to really understand the music has been its own journey. You get the chance to fully understand Links emotions throughout the battle. Ganon’s unrelenting, firelike rage in the piano is fully demonstrated throughout the piece. Link and Zelda’s battle for light in the strings. Beautiful. The depth of this game and this piece is something special. Tears of the Kingdom is one week away, I hope it delivers just as it’s predecessor did.
nice
hope you do/did well on the recital!
It does
Good Luck! All Hyrule stands behind you!
update: Recital went great!
5:05 and on man... that's emotional
I think of it as the cries of 100 years finally coming to an end, the suffering of thousands along with Link's closest friends pleading for him to finish it all and save them, avenge them.. its hard to explain the actual feeling I get, but the emotion of a century of absolute torment, finally free to rest since the calamity is now stopped.
_man I love this game_
I'm sorry I'm a bit late to the game but I got this about a month ago, I bet everyone would consider it easy but I considered it grinding cuz I suck at single player games, but during the end I hesitated to shoot the guys eye because I was thinking this is it, we finally made it, just simply everything we have been working towards and then I started thinking what links story was about and I just saw the deeper meaning, the writing of the story itself was what convinced me to buy the sequel in May even though I just started on the franchise
@@snsvideos5472 , welcome, you won't be dissapointed, Zelda is a wonderful and complex and deep franchise in general, with a lot of story and lore and a cronology, even if sometimes on the outside it doesn't seem so, if you dig a little deeper you start to see the tail of something much deeper, and it's because it is in general, so complex and so much story and lore that it can be confusing sometimes, but it's awesome, and I love games with a lot of story and lore that are really deep and meaningful and make you feel things
@@doloresgronenberg5882 very well said, also thanks for responding, it really gets my hopes up considering all the comments seem to come from people that seem mature enough, and that people just play this still, I saw a lot of the dates on the videos posted which made me realize that it came out a long time ago but based on all the people commenting on my comments as well as other people's videos that this franchise still has a strong player base or fan base, so I'm excited that this is a legitimate thing on its own, anyway thanks again! 👍 and you might see my comments on some other videos lol
ganondorf af: *insert fino photos but with dehydrated ganondorf* umm, no
Everyone is mad this fight was easy. I think the point was to make a fight that felt fluid and epic. It doesn't have to be hard to HIT you hard. The final boss of Shadow Of The Colossus (a game that is only Boss fights) is much easier than the other bosses. You dodge his magic attack which is easy if you know what you're doing, and then the ascent to his head is simple, easy, and painless. The other colosi thrash and attack and scream while you're on them, while the final Colossus simply looks on curiously at what you may be doing on him. His vicious attacks and threatening stature are taken down by his docile behavior. However this fight is the most powerful of all. The moving music and somber tone is as amazing as it should be. The final music and the fact your trusty steed accompany you in the final fight against Ganon make for an atmospheric experience. Hearing the theme we'd been teased with for 5 years played with the same piano that accompanied us the whole game playing fast and triumphant should be satisfying you people. And keep in mind the DLC pack is a whole new story line. Calamity Ganon may not even be the FINAL boss. The ending is a sort of cliff hanger.
If the Legend of Zelda will published for nintendo Switch or WiiU we will know more ! I am so exited *-*
I agree with you cus i felt the same ...the fight felt, yes, easy as all would like to say, but also quite epic, and you forgot to mention that this part has the best line that Zelda says in the entire game, a very quotable one and also, the way she helps you is quite important for the story and serves to settle more her character. And that's without mentioning how they make you use the slow mo for the final shot directly to the head, sealing the deal with shear epicness.
how big brain do you feel right now having predicted breath of the wild 2: the phantom ganon mummified corpse?
i came here to remind you. that you are. in fact. correct.
I agree, I mean I wished the fight was much harder to begin with, I found it far too easy but I was definitely satisfied in the end anyway.
Yes, but the fight was so easy that it ruined the epic atmosphere. Heck you Don't even need your horse and the light arrows to beat the boss. Personally, I would have add a timer to the fight, to reflect how Dangerous the Dark Beast would be if Link doesn't defeat it right now, it would have been better
let's be honest, Mipha save all of us in every moment.
You have to play REALLY BAD for needing her help in this fight...
Umm this was my second time fighting him: (didn't get saved first time either)
ruclips.net/video/RpQ9J4yPQao/видео.html
XanderVJ
And you should be a "super extreme pro"
XanderVJ Actually, yes, I did need her help quite a few times, and I've played about three times! I'll admit, I'm not the best at dodging, and the very first phase could have killed me had I not defeated all the Divine Beasts. So Mipha did save my sorry self while I recklessly chipped away at Calamity Ganon's health.
Not really. This is ez!
I love how you can hear one part from the Wind Waker Ganondorf fight
Really? What time?
Xaiverman its only a few notes and it happens multiple times but i first heard it at 1:18 and it sounds like the beginning of the fight
Xaiverman then again, maybe im only hearing it because i want to
well, if your talking about ganons theme, then its not just from wind waker, its in almost every zelda game.
Gabriel Morris I agree
I remember passing my very last college exam ever with this in my ears. After so many years of struggle, it really amplified the "final boss" vibe I felt.
It’s the power of the pianist
So glad I got to experience this spoiler free, but now I'm gonna listen to it all the time XD
Glad I found this video because the others I found were of bad audio quality or had the beginning cut. Thank you!
Also what's your channel icon from?
That would be Madoka Magica, lol.

I love how this theme symbolizes the conflict between Link, Zelda and Ganon. It’s a mix of the main theme and Ganon’s classic theme.
Good stuff
_Link..._
_You are our final hope._
_The fate of Hyrule rests with you!_
I emotionaly crash when I heard this song. I'm crying right now, how marvellous, how excited, an amazing mixed feelings that I can't explain.

Because he does the same thing when I'm fighting a Lynel

Dont do it at very late night without headphones to loud
"Courage needs not to be remembered, for it is never forgotten." most inspiring phrase ever
This piece is so amazing. From Ganon’s theme in the bass to Link represented in the main theme, and, as I see it, Zelda in the occasional flute. The piano sounds like it represents the fierce battle. The key change in the middle of the song sounds triumphant, Link and Zelda are winning the fight, you can barely get Ganon in the bass anymore. The transition to the final repeating notes, all the turmoil in the song is gone, it’s time to end it, and you can hear a note that’s reminiscent of the tone that Zelda’s power creates. And when you finally lease that arrow, the music stops, all you hear is the ring of Zelda’s power, overcoming Ganon’s malice, till silence, and a white screen.
It’s over.
This song, and this game, is beautiful.
The high pitched note that repeats itself definitely represents how Zelda is about to burst the moment that arrow of light strikes the eye, but also you can hear the bass in the back and it kinda shows how Ganon might finally realize he’s lost
My Entire Run of the game in a nutshell
Mipha: *IT WaS mY pLeAsUrE*
Fairy: [Fairy Noices]
*GAME OVER*
most people: "All lynels are harder that this!"
me: **hides ancient arrows in back pocket**
I see those!
Those are only to be used on gaurdian stalkers, skywatchers, and turrets. HAND THEM OVER BUDDY!
That moment when you're shooting the final arrow and zelda shouts Link do it! (May be something else, haven't played in forever, lost the cartridge, wish i could download from the store) was so epic i still get goosebumps
What I love most about this piece is the fact that they basically mixed links theme with the chaotic piano of ganons theme into perfect harmony resembling yin and Yang, this games sound track is so good with so many musical elements and techniques I love it
You can hear them fighting even in the music ;)
Love the fact that it just starts off with the "strong enemy" theme, then kicks into the main theme of the game. Fantastic music.
It will never not be the one Zelda song to give you chills.
I really love how this starts off with terror in the presence of Ganon, then we hear the piano fade in. This reminds Link that he must win, then there is the battle kicking off (Link realizing, this will be the final fight) its perfect Link going from terrorized to adrenaline pumping to on his toes ready to fight. This truly does capture Links bravery and terror at the same time. Also I love how at the end it gets faster and more suspenseful (Link now determined to defeat Ganon, knowing he will) I know the triforce of courage isn't used but this embodies courage at its finest, being scared on the inside but overcoming that fear. btw the roars of the beast in the background bring you to the setting.
My favorite reference in Botw is the final battle of Dark Beast Ganon, and the overall musicality of the song. At the very beginning it introduces such a "dark beat" that is consistent all the way through. The song truly begins with it's reference to the field battle theme with the piano solo, then transitions into the game's main theme, but with a twist. I can't say for sure if it is, but I'm pretty confident the main theme in the battle was written in a minor key, to give the "world is ending" type feel the song. In addition, it has a piano harmony referencing riding a horse throughout the overworld. In the middle of the piece it "slows down" a bit for a peaceful motif using the flutes' solo, reminding the player of the peacefulness they are fighting for. To top it all off, the song transitions to Ganondorf's main theme, reminding the player it truly is the fight for Hyrule.
This is only phase one though, transition into phase two and the song introduces a heroic motif. The song becomes a smaller loop of the main theme, but back in a major key like it was written for. It still contains the piano harmony of riding the horse and suspenseful "dark beat" from the very first note performed, yet it introduces the heroic trumpets in the background to rise the player's morale. "I can do this! Hyrule can win!" That is what I believe this sounds like.
Then to the final phase of shooting the classic eyeball, a short simple tune to top the entire battle off, with Zelda's Lullaby being partially used in this theme, a reference to her holding Ganon back for a hundred years.
Dark Beast Ganon's theme I feel is a masterpiece, and an underrated one. Many references coming together to create a piece of music that represents the battle for Hyrule. Unfortunately I don't feel like the battle itself truly lived up to its piece, which may be why this piece of music is so underrated.
this goes so crazy
6 years later and 1:10 still gives me goosebumps
It’s ganons recurring theme across the series in case you’re not aware
5:29 when your game crashes
I was watching the video time until it came to this and then You tube crashed 😵

Broken record
Some of the music in this game is just embarrassingly bad.
@@isodoublet Like?
@@SlapTchak Main battle theme. Guardian fight theme. The aforementioned broken record.
I just imagine, people of all corners of hyrule waking to the divine beasts launching their attack, seeing the castle hit and seeing dark beast ganon on hyrule field. The very being that brought hyrule to ruin 100 years ago and continued too after. Just an overall epic scene and fight to experience
I wish there was a cutscene of just npcs hearing the blasts and reacting to them!
My interpretation: the ending sounds unfinished, like it's missing the last notes to a contending end. I think it reflects how link's battle with Ganon is not yet finished either (hence BoTW2). Pretty cool foreshadowing for people to pick up on.
that's a really good point
Im pretty sure that in the context of the score it's a vamp (a few measures indefinitely repeating until a cue) for the player to shoot Ganon's eye, I do like your interpretation though
Playing this after TOTK goes wild
I like how the slow beat of the beginning and strong rythme of the piano evolves into the gorgeous orchestral main theme
The most underwhelming boss ever with an amazing ost
You can complain about how easy this battle was all you want, but it is epic as hell! The music, the horse ride, Zelda landing the final shot, everything. It’s basically a reward for the player working so hard throughout the game.
Dark Beast Ganon may have been a joke, BUT THIS PIANIST DUDE SHEESH XD
*Beethoven has left the chat*
This game is what truly made me a Zelda fan
The coolest boss theme in the game paired with the most underwhelming boss in the game.
5:15 So that’s where they got Tears of The Kingdom’s main theme from
This game and every aspect of it needs not to be remembered but shall never be forgotten.

This is what happens when you combine, hylian+horse+bow+a burning pig= ABSOLUTELY MASTERPIECE
Its a war crime that this isnt in smash

2:16 The Best Part Begins😍
I love how it sounds like a heroic theme clashing against ganons more menacing theme. The song itself sounds like these two forces of good and evil fighting.
i still feel the burning in my eyes from how fucking bright this fight is.
Ok Totk's final boss fight is easy but beautiful. But the Ost for this final boss is *WAY* better tbh
Ganon or the dragon?
I prefer Totks final bosses by far. But I like both osts.
The Music: The final boss
The Actual Boss: The boss as a playable character
