They added this song in Legacy of Darkness cos there was a lot of complaints of there not being enough classic Castlevania songs in Castlevania 64. They did a terrific job. Other themes are scattered throughout the soundtrack
They basically improved the game in every aspect. I can understand why people hate C64, but this one fixed pretty much every problem that was in C64, so the hate is completely baseless. As for the music, there are a couple of scattered tracks from previous games (such as Second Struggle and Dance of Ilusions from Rondo of Blood) but my favorite is one nobody talks about, which is a version of Bloody Tears (named Legacy of Darkness part 1 in the soundtrack) which sounds a lot more ominous and creepy than the original, it's great.
@@GiordanDiodato definitely improved camera, or rather 'finished', because Legacy of Darkness is essentially the final finished completer version of Castlevania 64, as that one was rushed out before they had a chance to complete development. Legacy of Darkness is what the game should have been from the start.
I love this song it's calming and make you feel like your at a masquerade ball for some reason!! One of the best soundtracks of any game in history especially since it came from Nintendo 64 a old but classic and great game system! I still have my Nintendo 64 too had it since I was a little girl now it will make about 12 or more years!!!!
God, I love this arrangement. Pure, undiluted Yamane goodness, and she didn't even work in this game. Circle of the Moon's version was fine, just overused. Even the best songs grate on your ears when they overstay their welcome.
@@GamerWordDotNet LoD is far better than C64 since it's essentially how it was originally intended to be. It's my personal favorite, but yeah, CV didn't translate well into 3D platforming.
@@MrJimmyTide My issue with LoD is that because they chose to release CV64 as a stripped down version of LoD, that LoD feels like a retread once it was actually released. On that note, I actually liked CV64 quite a bit more.
I'm glad someone else liked the 3D Castlevanias. I honestly really liked Lord of shadows 1 could not wait for the second one...and then played it...wow hot garbage...but it was at least pretty I guess! This piece of music is one of my favorite songs to go back to from time to time.
Absolutely. Playing this today, on a modern PC emulator with the graphics cranked to 4K, and using an Xbox controller, it's like experincing the game the way it was truly meant to be played.
I don't think I've ever found another game with this quality of atmosphere and music. I would really like to find another game with a soundtrack like this.
This track exists now in restored quality using the original sample sources and it sounds so good I teared up. Look up OrangeC's latest videos, or paste the video ID into the search: frWCi7Qslwk
I want to say this is the best version of "The Sinking Old Sanctuary", but I love some of the faster versions, as well. That's the beauty of CV: the music varies so much that picking a single favorite is nearly impossible on any selection.
I wonder if this game's story could be adapted/fleshed out into a show, too? Then again, the "Hunter & Little Magician Girl" dynamic would perhaps be redundant, with the upcoming follow-up to the Netflix series.
Vaya, es bueno saber que no era el único que jugaba esto Desde que lo jugué (7 años de edad) me daba miedo, un año después agarré valor y acabé las 4 historias Ahora es difícil conseguir esta maravilla
Funny enough I never played this game yet vividly remember this track because it was used in Vampires Dawn 1 & 2 (two RPG Maker games) as the "Battle won" theme.
I wish that they had not released Castlevania 64, and instead just waited another year and then released this game as Castlevania 64. It's a great game that never got out of the shadow of it's poor predecessor.
The only 3D Castlevania that keep the true feeling of the series, except ofc for the change of the hearts for crystals but still, awesome. I just hate how Konami rushed developers to release the Cv64 and a lot of ideas stayed out in the beta, even characters...
I don't know why this game gets so much hate. I picked it up for £20 in the bargain bin on N64 when it was released. I ended up loving it for what it is.
It's cause AVGN gave a really unfair review of this game during his heyday. He didn't even finish it cause he didn't know how to pick an item up so he said it was very bad. Then the internet took his word as gospel than suddenly this game had a bad reputation. Which is stupid, everyone I know who played this game as a kid loved it, it got good reviews, sold well. Everyone just wants to be a cynical, "cool", reviewer so they just take the opinion of their favourite youtuber.
@@xJusteBx AVGN is a character. He is supposed to get angry for comical reasons. So many people don't think for themselves. But man, its a problem when people go with the opinion form a satire review.
Yeah, the composers of today's games are getting lazy.. Michiru Yamane (castlevania),David Wise (donkey kong country), Yasunori Mitsuda (chrono trigger, and Koji Kondo (mario and zelda) were one of a kind back in the day..
In truth, the best tunes in videogames nowadays are in the indies. The rest is just repetition of the same... Even Jeremy Soule is losing his touch in the Elder Scrolls, simply because everybody wants games to be more epic... But they are losing their essence
Just imagine the Hyrule theme for a moment, a theme first heard on an 8 bit cartridge. Can you think of any modern game’s main theme that even comes close? It’s all about graphics now.

I think they selected most of the good ones, but indeed there were some disappointing exclusions. I was really hoping to get a remix of Successor of Fate.
@BastendorfEvergrass OK when I was 7 had no save pack and had to keep the console on it was difficult, especially when my sister just turned it off to annoy the living heck out of me
I played the original game-flawed, but decent. Heard this rendition of Sinking Old Sanctuary from this version of the game a few years ago-I’ve always loved this song since first hearing it in Bloodlines. Didn’t even know they released a revised version of this game. I’d definitely give it a try at some point.
They are the only 3d Castlevania I played... But i believe sceneries (idk how is it called, it is "mise en scène" in french) of the encounters are more epic in 64 ones than on later ones.
Good game, I had no memory card when I was a kid until later, I would play the game all day and be depressed because I never went outside or talked to anyone, I don't know why it never occured to me that I did not have to turn the console off. Every time I turned it off, it was start over from the beginning, so I have had my fair share of playthroughs of this game.
Jammer dat deze mooie spellen nu onbetaalbaar zijn geworden, nooit gespeeld de eerste twee 3d Castlevanias op de n64, de ost klinkt in ieder geval subliem
So beautiful.
Pq eu não me surpreendi
True.
Ué kkkkkk
volte aq e escute dnv, meu nobre...
Based
The best track in Legacy of Darkness - an underrated N64 title to be sure.
The best track in any Castlevania game.
They added this song in Legacy of Darkness cos there was a lot of complaints of there not being enough classic Castlevania songs in Castlevania 64. They did a terrific job. Other themes are scattered throughout the soundtrack
they also improved the Camera

C64 intro is sn alternate version of Opposite Bloodlines
They made a song about a part of the castle falling into the abyss and turned It into a full on renaissance waltz- kudoz to them lol
@@GiordanDiodato definitely improved camera, or rather 'finished', because Legacy of Darkness is essentially the final finished completer version of Castlevania 64, as that one was rushed out before they had a chance to complete development.

Love this game so much, insanely underrated.
sadly it comes off regular CV64, so i don't blame people for thinking this one wasn't going to do anything either.
Legacy of Darkness expansion pack enhanced was a gem. I have a copy complete mint in box 😁
@@Michael-sg6cd treasure that gem because it is not going to see a remake at all, unless fans come together and do it themselves
@@Dark_Wolf0626 especially since Konami aint doin shit anymore XD
After all these years I still love this song.
i still play this game on my N64 and i love it
You’re a legend
This version of the song is easily the best version of the song. As well as one of the best songs in the series.
Circle of the Moon beats it.
If by 'best version' you mean the version you heard it first on, then yes. Objectively it's the CotM, hands down. That bassline added so much to it
That's Bloodlines sweetie.
I guess everyone hates bloodlines ;-;
Yay for objective opinions /s
This song never gets old for me.
Castlevania is one of the best video games ever made I hope they finally make more.🏰🏯
I love this song it's calming and make you feel like your at a masquerade ball for some reason!! One of the best soundtracks of any game in history especially since it came from Nintendo 64 a old but classic and great game system! I still have my Nintendo 64 too had it since I was a little girl now it will make about 12 or more years!!!!
The song is in the time signature of 3/4, which is what a Waltz is played/danced to. Understandable that you'd be reminded of a ball.
To me it still feels like you're underwater, like it did in the Atlantis level from Bloodlines
Originated in Bloodlines and got remade in Circle of the moon
God, I love this arrangement. Pure, undiluted Yamane goodness, and she didn't even work in this game.
Circle of the Moon's version was fine, just overused. Even the best songs grate on your ears when they overstay their welcome.
I’d argue that version is kind of awful compared to this and bloodlines, it just feels muddy.
@@Roninkinx Yeah, I see what you mean. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's awful, but it does grate on the ears after a bit of time.
I first played this game in like 2002, haven't forgotten how sick this song is since.
the art tower, the nostalgia.
Castlevania 64, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness you will forever be my favorite games out of the series
@@AH-ng7zt Right? The n64 games are decent but c'mon. Even Castlevania NES is better.
@@GamerWordDotNet LoD is far better than C64 since it's essentially how it was originally intended to be. It's my personal favorite, but yeah, CV didn't translate well into 3D platforming.

Best 3D Castlevania ever
This and Castlevania 64, yeah easily. I hated how they messed up the entire atmosphere in Lords of Shadow -.-
/\ YES!
Yup, still among my favorite games of all time, after many years.
I'm glad someone else liked the 3D Castlevanias. I honestly really liked Lord of shadows 1 could not wait for the second one...and then played it...wow hot garbage...but it was at least pretty I guess! This piece of music is one of my favorite songs to go back to from time to time.
Absolutely. Playing this today, on a modern PC emulator with the graphics cranked to 4K, and using an Xbox controller, it's like experincing the game the way it was truly meant to be played.
One of my favourite theme. Just learned to play on piano.
I don't think I've ever found another game with this quality of atmosphere and music. I would really like to find another game with a soundtrack like this.
My second favorite n64 game ever
song's a masterpiece!!!!! the best video game ever!!
This is the best version of this song.
This track exists now in restored quality using the original sample sources and it sounds so good I teared up. Look up OrangeC's latest videos, or paste the video ID into the search: frWCi7Qslwk
I feel this game is so overlooked.
I mean c'mon it has some fucking great moments!
True Castlevania in this song.
I want to say this is the best version of "The Sinking Old Sanctuary", but I love some of the faster versions, as well. That's the beauty of CV: the music varies so much that picking a single favorite is nearly impossible on any selection.
i don't care what anybody says, this game is fucking great and i love it
Glad to hear a remix from the amazing game that is Bloodlines. I wish I could play the 3D Castlevanias. :(
Es bellísimo amaba ese nivel junto a la torre de brujería con carrie y al tunnel con reinardht
This was my favorite part of the game; solely for this music! I would purposely stall throughout this level just to listen.
I did the same thing! Anything to listen to this song longer!
This was my first time I heard Sinking old Sanctuary
Mine was in Bloodlines
Absolutely brilliant. The best version of this Castlevania gem hands down!
The original is from the Megadrive/Genesis episode Castlevania Bloodline, one of the best piece made by Michiru Yamane.
It was reused a 3rd time for Circle of the Moon but for too many stages
@@andrewkang7157 I like the CoTM version, but yeah, it is used for like 70% of the castle lol
@@MeatCobainGaming absolutely, I mean all versions of that song are ace. It needs to come back for a future installment.
Who else here passed the whole game without dying? i Did!!!!!!!
If Castlevania ever made A LIVE ACTION tv show, this would be the perfect intro theme. I know there is a Netflix version…
I wonder if this game's story could be adapted/fleshed out into a show, too? Then again, the "Hunter & Little Magician Girl" dynamic would perhaps be redundant, with the upcoming follow-up to the Netflix series.
I love this song
I remember playing Legacy of Darkness on hard and the woman posing in a dress was....uncovered! I thought, well this IS THE ART TOWER!
aquí en México este juego de los mejores en su época,poca difusión,después muchos juegos le copiaron y los tienen como buenos. arte.miguelmix
Muy cierto
Vaya, es bueno saber que no era el único que jugaba esto
Desde que lo jugué (7 años de edad) me daba miedo, un año después agarré valor y acabé las 4 historias
Ahora es difícil conseguir esta maravilla
es un buen juego cuando lo vas pasando ya en estos niveles, el año pasado lo pase como 10 veces jaja, de alguna manera me gusto demasiado
From Italy: W Mexico❤
Es muy bueno.
This is the best music
The back ground stringed instruments with the off best notes remind me of the song of storms
I love how understated and melancholic the music is for the 64 games, I feel it fits Castlevania really well
High Art!
glad someone else is sharing my thoughts! thanks sir i loved both games too
This version surpasses in all aspects to gba version
Would the ost itself be unique?
I like this but the original bloodlines version on Genesis will always be my favorite
You're comparing a GBA with a N64 ?
Funny enough I never played this game yet vividly remember this track because it was used in Vampires Dawn 1 & 2 (two RPG Maker games) as the "Battle won" theme.
play at 1.25x speed for Bloodlines version, which imo is BEST VERSION.
nostalgia anyone?
Started playing in my head today
Probably the best version ever made of this song
WoW! Is very good!
Konami should bring back this game remastered for next gen consoles
you know the creator said that this series would be discontinued :\
reworked like Crash Bandicoot
ACO4683MX they'll probably remaster is for pachinko knowing them
+ketchupkatsup Unfortunately, you're probably right.
I wish that they had not released Castlevania 64, and instead just waited another year and then released this game as Castlevania 64. It's a great game that never got out of the shadow of it's poor predecessor.
set the playback at 1.5, it sounds like the same speed as castlevania circle of the moon!!
I could listen to the first 10 seconds forever
excellent
The only 3D Castlevania that keep the true feeling of the series, except ofc for the change of the hearts for crystals but still, awesome.
I just hate how Konami rushed developers to release the Cv64 and a lot of ideas stayed out in the beta, even characters...
Bullshit. The N64 titles are among the worst in the franchise including 3D
So epic😄💙💯
Nostalgia pura!
This music and level (Castle Center) is never played in Cornell's story. Instead, it is Tower of Ruins. Which is absent from the playlist...
I was looking for a game to start, I will finally take Castlevania Legacy of Darkness after almost 10 years of excuses.
i played this game in 2003 (11 yo) and took me one week later to finish it
Criminally underrated
gran musica gran juego simpre mente genial
Actually, this one fixed all of the previous game's problems. While that one was an okay experience, this one is just simply awesome.
my childhood was surrounded by these classic soundtracks. i wish games today had this kinda music
Other than the soulsborne games, the rest sound so generic...
Great arrangement of the Genesis game Bloodlines.
good memories in this game
I don't know why this game gets so much hate. I picked it up for £20 in the bargain bin on N64 when it was released. I ended up loving it for what it is.

I highly recommend you do, its one of those games that you must play in your lifetime lol.
Maravilhosa
Best track in the whole game.
I love this game. Still have my copy in perfect working condition but the crappy N64 memory cards are always getting erased for some reason.
Yeah, the composers of today's games are getting lazy.. Michiru Yamane (castlevania),David Wise (donkey kong country), Yasunori Mitsuda (chrono trigger, and Koji Kondo (mario and zelda) were one of a kind back in the day..

Now, I've confirmed it. Mt. Battle from Pokemon Colosseum sounds very close to this! I've listened to both, and they're very similar. :D
legit upset about the fact that this isn't a song in smash
I think they selected most of the good ones, but indeed there were some disappointing exclusions. I was really hoping to get a remix of Successor of Fate.
@@Laihoard1995 i wanted battle of the holy and big battle bit what we got is amazing
από τα πιο τρομακτικά castlevania παιχνίδια
Luego apareció en circle of the moon
Aunque originalmente salio en Castlevania Bloodlines para el Genesis, despues en Legacy of Darkness y luego en Circle of the Moon.
The Sinking Sanctuary!
Ufff temazo de cuando era un morrito de 12 años con esta pieza me sentía el más fino
This freaking game was my childhood when I beat it for the first time I was so happy I felt like I did the impossible
@BastendorfEvergrass OK when I was 7 had no save pack and had to keep the console on it was difficult, especially when my sister just turned it off to annoy the living heck out of me
@BastendorfEvergrass i miss the challenges of my youth I wanna do it again
@BastendorfEvergrass true
Really love this version!血族的原版很悠扬，而这版则是庄严肃穆。
This song Should Appeared on SSBU. what a shame
Out of the three versions I've heard, this is the best until a new version of this song comes around. :P
I played the original game-flawed, but decent. Heard this rendition of Sinking Old Sanctuary from this version of the game a few years ago-I’ve always loved this song since first hearing it in Bloodlines. Didn’t even know they released a revised version of this game.

Joyita
It was strange hearing a Circle Of the Moon song at first, but a welcome change!
It's technically a Bloodlines song, but it's awesome either way.
yup they are the best... those in PS2 got that arcade feel, kind of devil may cry...
😍😍😍
Será que mais alguém veio aqui do vídeo do Master Alucard?
They are the only 3d Castlevania I played... But i believe sceneries (idk how is it called, it is "mise en scène" in french) of the encounters are more epic in 64 ones than on later ones.
Good redemption for the original
Jogo top.

Right, but leaving it running for too long can be a problem. At least put a fan on it.
Jammer dat deze mooie spellen nu onbetaalbaar zijn geworden, nooit gespeeld de eerste twee 3d Castlevanias op de n64, de ost klinkt in ieder geval subliem
It is really upsetting how underestimated this game was.
best game ever
the second one woooo
It is, along with Goldeneye on the N64, they will never make them as good as them anymore, I grew up with those games.
The gba is my favourite
好きすぎる
感動するわ！
awsome game... awsome music!!
gran juego de esta serie,pero poco valorado.
