Guardian Theme: Zelda BOTW - Musical Analysis

Here’s why the Guardian theme from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild does such a good job at instilling fear. (From a musical point of view.)

It's nice to see people still covering music of Zelda

[@kylealmpiano]

It‘a timeless!

[@UnlistedMemories-te9bl]

This is really cool to see you walk through!

[@kylealmpiano]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m such a nerd, I love doing music theory walk throughs like this

[@KrypticTheorist]

You son of a. You knew this would get me XD
Really cool tho. Dissonance to give that unnerving feeling. I mean the giants robotic death laser spider doesn't help matters.

[@kylealmpiano]

Yup I knew 😈. The dissonance helps, but the association of the song plays a big role for sure.

[@TwinFlyDSW]

Nicely explained.

[@Owen180]

Or maybe it’s just the terror of the guardians

[@kylealmpiano]

I think that definitely helps as well! They could put something happy and light hearted and it might still cause the same reaction.

all that talk adds nothing for me
