I was 34 when "The Legend of Zelda" was released and I became hooked on the games. I am 71 and still playing. Hearing this music brought back so many memories and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Nintendo, for bringing us so many great games and a lifetime of enjoyment.
I’m also 72 and Zelda is my most favourite games and still playing today. I would guess that I have more than 1000 hours of game play and my favourite is Skyward Sword.
@@burgesswaz interesting choice, but I also love the game more than most people. Motion control sword fighting was always really cool no matter how broken it could end up being. Fighting ghirihim (can’t spell) stalfos and demise always felt like a real sword fight. I’m glad to hear that this series reaches out to such a wide audience.
I love how Zelda reaches so many different age groups, I was 3 when I was introduced to Zelda series. My mum bought the n64 when it came out and got majoras mask + ocarina of time when they were released. Many years later my brother found it in storage and started playing and I started to watch him play. Been obsessed with the series ever since I love it so much, made so many friends bonding over these games. My favourite game is MM definitely. I think skyward sword or twilight princess are tied 2nd for me ❤
I believe they played this in front of a live audience at nintendo live in Seattle last September. It was a beautiful experience and I started crying at one point
The main theme at the end exploded my soul into a million pieces and glued them back together. This whole thing would be such an emotional experience to hear live. I hope Nintendo comes through for more concerts in the future!
That trailer is, imo, the best single piece of Zelda orchestration ever. Bringing out the classic theme as the climax only after establishing the new theme and style... that game could have completely bombed and I still would have loved the trailer forever.
You all deserved to see and hear a standing ovation for every song in this performance. Know that the hundreds of thousands of us that will see it on here are full of joy and nostalgia.
Also - the show that Lighting and Sound put on for the absentee audience was also a perfect addition to enhance the music. Well done to them and cinematography.
I'm 32 yo, my first video game when i was 6 was The Legend of Zelda (the golden cartridge on NES). Nintendo was not just here in my childhood, but most of my life at this point
Same. I remember attending the Symphony of the goddess in Honolulu the day after the Switch presentation that confirmed BotW as a launch title for the Switch
@@Z3ZPyes but there is no telling how long video games will last and how long the media tied to those games like music will last. It should still last for many years based on how far it has spread though.
@@Z3ZPI think they mean that you can hear music of this quality in a video game. Whereas old games used synth waves. Which I love personally, but also love hearing it in full orchestra
This always reminds me of my brother. He passed away 17 years ago but he introduced me to Zelda and Nintendo, so every time I hear Zelda's lullaby I feel happiness and nostalgia... What a game!
This is mildly bittersweet for me. My mother, the one that was half responsible for getting me hooked on Zelda, hasn't seen anything past 2009. Her last game beaten was Twilight Princess. She succumbed to inflammatory breast cancer. I wish to whatever god might exist that she'd have seen and been able to play BotW and TotK. Let alone hear the music, because she was a psycho of a musician. I'm glad she was able to experience Twilight Princess and its music in the end. That was the peak of her era. Thank you, Nintendo, and your Orchestra, for taking me back to a better time.
I did not expect the Links Awakening Medley.. This game means the world to me. My grandpa lend it to me when I was still a child and that way he introduced me to The Legend of Zelda. He passed away last August and I will never forgot him and how much he influenced me. He was a true gamer and was always there for me. Thank you Grandpa.
Kinda glad cuz unfortunately when you go to video game concerts people clap when they’re not supposed to. You should only clap when the conductor puts their baton down you can tell from other concerts on yt that the orchestra and conductor get frustrated:(
On such occasions, everyone does their part, that is, they did their duty to the fullest extent, and the audience must clap until their hands get tired, and the more the performance increases, the applause inevitably comes. They did what they had to do, and moreover, we must all applaud very warmly ، 👏👏👏👏👏👏 ....
It’s subtle and maybe muted/shortened, but they do clap at times between songs. That said, I’d 100% clap inappropriately and I know better, but it’s worth the applause lmao they’re gonna have to just kick me out 😂
@@mikecantu16 Agreed! also, WE are the audience and they get to see way more feedback than just the one concert worth. This whole thing just makes my heart happy.
I was there in 2017 when they came to our state!!! Best gift ever. Came to find out we were emailed a invitation to meet the orchestra members but didnt realize it until after we left the concert and I am pretty sad about that.
I know I was thinking that too. Somebody told me at a convention that I went to said that they were going to bring it back but I think it might be a rumor or probably true we’ll have to wait-and-see.
@@TalonNO same! I also saw it in 2017. Literally one of the best moments of my entire life. I was in band at the time, so symphony of the goddesses inspired me to practice my flute more haha I wonder if we went to the same concert 🤔 I’m from Hawaii btw

They still give us the opportunity to appreciate individual soloists, and conduct not only the entire orchestra in real time but also a matching light showcase and time-matches game trailers. Yet they still do stuff like this from time to time.
I was 5 when I purchased a link to the past. I didn’t even have a SNES. I woke up early every day before school just to go to my buddy’s house so we could play an hour each before school. 29 years after that, I own every single Zelda game including the Japan only(no CDi), and I’m now in process of collecting every single Zelda console. The dream is to have every Zelda game on its original console and be able to play each one as intended. Zelda taught me morality and how to be a hero. I owe a good portion of my psyche to The Legend of Zelda. My cat loves the stable trotters. When I am old and my time is coming, I hope to find a young Zelda fan whom I can trust with my collection and pass the torch to them. In a world where everyone seems to hate on everything, I can always count on Zelda to be a place of solace. Thank you, and love to all other Zelda fans out there.
I am physically unable to listen to legend of Zelda music without tearing up. Zelda means so much to me it, Zelda was there during a very important part of my life (going from a kid to a teenager) and that time period was very difficult for me because of how adhd affects my brain development; and my very first relationship ended extremely badly, and The legend of Zelda was there through it all.
same man, i’m going through it right now actually, my first relationship was unhealthy, been with the series for 5-7 years now. Loving it, plan on playing all of the games :)
Zelda music is an art, pure and simple. It's not just nostalgia, it's our childhood. It's not just good, it's awesome. It's not just nice sounding, it's EPIC. It's not just music, it's Zelda music.
Agreed, when I clean the house il sometimes put on Zelda music & my kids will look at me like Im crazy, but they just don't get it.😅😂 My son may someday though. Hopefully..
I didn't have "live orchestra making me emotional by playing the soundtrack to my childhood" on my Friday morning agenda, but.. here we are! Thanks Nintendo ❤
Ikrrr It still feels like a fresh game that just came out yet it has been a previous year and so much time already passed. That's a good thing although! Can't wait what the future will bring 💙
This music is so beautiful, it's enough to make a grown man cry, one who's played every single Zelda game from the beginning. Thank you Koji Kondo, for everything you did, and still do.
Holy crap. LITTERAL GOOSEBUMPS. And the saxophonist in TOTK KILLED IT. I cried multiple times. As someone who plays instruments and loves Zelda sm, this was so beautifully done.
they did really well. yknow who did even better at their task though? Jesus. Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on RUclips and a RUclips channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and he will. God Bless :)
tears.........OF THE KINGDOM (cdotkom). (honestly me too... i do not tear up but shivers run trhought my spine for minutes). modify: ok i just ended the whole video and the last song made me water a bit
@@Breeze926 Main quest does bring alot of the same tunes back all the time, but every area has it's own night and day music and alot of it is absolutely incredible
please please PLEASE bring this back out on tour. This was a yearly tradition for a friend and I years ago and I miss it dearly. Seeing this live is an experience I will never forget.

The Legend of Zelda franchise has been something I've played throughout my entire life. My fondest memory was playing A Link to the Past with my grandfather. He was watching me play and noticed I was getting frustrated at a simple map puzzle that he had already figured out. He was in no way a gamer of any kind, but he was an incredibly intelligent man who decided to use this simple puzzle to teach his grandson how to read and utilize maps. Rest in peace George Sylvester, your wisdom will never be forgotten.
That sounds like a great time to have had with them. Wish I had something like that with my grandparents, but they are all gone at this point. Hopefully at one point you can do the same for another in his honer.
@@ThwipThwipBoom Do you just go onto random comment threads that you don't even care about and be rude to people for kicks without reading what they even said? This person just shared a heartfelt memory of their grandfather-they weren't talking about the music, just the memory that this series brought them. This isn't a competition and there's no place for that kind of vitriol on a thread like this, it's disrespectful and totally irrelevant.
This live orchestra plays just perfectly, not a single mistake or misplaced note. They even go perfectly synched with the video. I wish this was longer.
I absolutely LOVED this, especially as a cellist. That being said, nothing is absolved from criticism. Some of these pieces just simply don't sound as good without the choir. The BOTW trailer theme that everyone loves, I just didn't get that sensation of goosebumps without the choir belting out vocals in the background. It sounded empty. There were pieces where the full orchestra worked perfectly, and I did get that sensation. My personal feeling is don't shortchange a piece if you're going to perform it. Go all out! I absolutely agree with you that I wish it was longer. Twilight Princess' music is so under-appreciated. I went to a Zelda candlelight concert, and TP was the one major Zelda game that was left out, which was so frustrating.
@@nahor88 yeah I agree some of the pieces just sounded empty. That being said, it was all good, it was just missing some of the crazy full sounding harmonies and blending of a billion different sounds in a beautiful whirlwind of chords and notes. Also I don’t think any Zelda music is necessarily under appreciated, however I am at awe that a Zelda concert left out twilight princess music.
@@gooseguyfilms4460 I don't get why they didn't at least make this as long as Symphony of the Goddesses. They definitely used the same arrangements. Speaking of which, they need to bring that tour back! Absolutely loved how they'd add a piece on when a new Zelda game was released.
Thankyou Nintendo. After all these years The Legend of Zelda still moves me like no other. I'm 50 now and I still have great joy listening and playing your great games.
this series means so much to me and my family. from my brother and i struggling to complete that eye puzzle in the first dungeon of skyward sword so much that we dragged our dad over to the wii to help us figure it out all the way to the three of us collectively freaking out over ganon's obscene boss bar in tears of the kingdom. i cried throughout watching this video. each and every one of these songs mean the world to me.
Thank you THANK YOU for including the BotW 2017 Trailer music. To this day, that trailer electrifies me. Every melodic allusion to BotW and the classic Zelda motifs along with the moments of silence and anticipation. It’s an absolute work of art in its own right as BotW or TotK. Just.. wow. Thank you thank you. Bravo performers and thank you Nintendo and the Zelda team for the many years of joy you’ve brought to me and now my family.
A piece of art guiding me through life since i'm a kid (39 now). I'm so thankful to get to expirience those stories and music in this lifespan. I hope i'm still able to play Zelda games 30 years from now.
I’m glad the soloists and orchestra stood up to bow after their performances. I wish I could have been there to give them the applause they deserved. 👏 👏 👏
Everyone says that the TOTK trailer music hits so hard, but Botw trailer music is still better on the feeling! Yes Ttok trailer music was hype and awesome, but Botw still reigns superior in my opinion because of the storytelling in the trailer
This arrangement is just unspeakably beautiful. I have grown up with this series very close to my heart, and I love to see the old games still being remembered for how legendary they are. I hope Nintendo never stops making games and music like this.
I’ve been playing the sax for 8 years I’ve never wanted anything more than to just play in an orchestra like this and make music for games like the legend of Zelda where they literally shaped my childhood such truly magnificent music needs more recognition and the people who play it each need recognition good job guys ❤❤❤
Been a Zelda fan since I was a kid playing Link to the Past on SNES in the early/mid 90’s. The music touches your soul, I got emotional watching this 🥲
I absolutely love that Link's Awakening got so much attention with that beautiful medley - one of the most underappreciated games in the franchise and has beautiful music.
@@TheCactuar124 there are a ton of RUclipsrs and video game enthusiasts that have it in their top ten of all time, do some digging and you'll find plenty
@@tobylopez4514hyrule castle theme, maz koshia, molduga, attack on vah naboris and vah ruta, even the combat themes are worthy of it. Guardian theme works too.
@@minecrafter3448not only that, but all of the town themes; Rito Village, Goron City, Zora’s Domain, and Geurdo Town, have the most seamless modulations as they go from morning to day to night.
I was raised with The Legend of Zelda and I'm just really thankful to everyone involved for making such wonderful games for us to enjoy. We don't deserve you guys ❤
Yeah oot gets too much credit for what alttp did first just saying oot is almost the same game as alttp just replace past and future with light and dark and make it 3d and you got pretty much the same game -the songs.
When I tell you I cried, I cried because of how meaningful and grateful of how much these games have shaped my childhood and still shape me today. This is a masterpiece of a game franchise and you can find something for everyone in these games. It was the first game I ever played, and I’m so glad it was. Thank you so much Nintendo. Amazing all around!
grateful to live in this timeline. In 100 years maybe zelda will not exist anymore nor video games in general this is truly peak video game era and I exist in it.
@@austindotwav yea i said that cuz i feel like video games reached a glass wall also i cant imagine what video games could look like in 100 years, if it's going to stay old fashioned But oh well at least i will see where it's going before my passing i hope
I am 44 and Zelda Nintendo was, is and will be always in my mind forever. Old great times when I was a kid, first Zelda and the most beloved my Link to the Past and in present time Tears of the Kingdom. Zelda soundtracks are always masterpieces. Wished to be on that concert 😢 live. Thank you ever so much Zelda Nintendo ❤
As a kid playing link's awakening on gameboy, I can only be amazed at how that game on that console has some of the BEST zelda tracks of all time and it reflects even in this concert! Amazing
6:56 I honestly teared up but I loved how they did this starting with tears of the kingdom, then into Skyward sword and so on it just flows so beautifully. Legend of Zelda from the beginning has captured my heart and it will always be something special. I haven't a clue when it could or will end but I am glad to have been here for the journey
Still one of the coolest things I have ever done was go to the Symphony of the Goddesses after BOTW came out---hearing the botw music with their orchestra was awesome. I miss the Symphony of the Goddesses, they need to bring it back.
I've prepared choirs for live soundtrack performances, I've mixed recordings of both virtual and live performances, have conducted more performances of choral/orchestral repertoire than I can count, am a big fan of this game, and this a most excellent recording. Bravo to the whole team that put this together, very enjoyable.

It is a crime that they are not playing in front of an audience. I remember going to the Zelda Symphony many years ago. Please bring this tour back.
I hope so. I wasn’t old enough (or knew about Zelda) to go back then. I really want to go to one in-person now.
Pleaaaase Nintendo 😭 I would pay anything
live audience is too small. it is for the whole world.

No matter how indecisive people are about Skyward Sword, you cannot deny that theme is a BANGER! 🎉

Don't let this distract you from the fact that they hate any and all fan works.
But I do agree and love this orchestral concert.
Nintendo fan boy if you ask me
I proudly am a Nintendo fanboy to be honest 😄
C'mon dude. Nintendo is a greedy megacorporation. It boggles my mind that people think they own anything to them.

I woke up early every day before school just to go to my buddy’s house so we could play an hour each before school. 29 years after that, I own every single Zelda game including the Japan only(no CDi), and I’m now in process of collecting every single Zelda console.

In a world where everyone seems to hate on everything, I can always count on Zelda to be a place of solace. Thank you, and love to all other Zelda fans out there.
I am physically unable to listen to legend of Zelda music without tearing up. Zelda means so much to me it, Zelda was there during a very important part of my life (going from a kid to a teenager) and that time period was very difficult for me because of how adhd affects my brain development; and my very first relationship ended extremely badly, and The legend of Zelda was there through it all.
You and me both brother
same man, i’m going through it right now actually, my first relationship was unhealthy, been with the series for 5-7 years now. Loving it, plan on playing all of the games :)
@morgantrousdale2322 bro you are so me i cant even begin to explain
same man
Same here man. The Zelda worlds, the music, it had everything to make you forget and to remember also. It made us strong weirdly enough.
I woke up horribly sick this morning, but this entire concert is my song of healing.
I find concerts like these always help me feel better when I'm sick. This would especially. Feel better, friend!
I've been sick the last couple days. Took some Nyquil and saw this was posted. Good half hour to relax.
I’ve got a horrible cold, so I know how you feel :)
Yeah, there seems to be so many things going around rn.
My body finally caught one rip
Wish they played sing of healing, but yeah I feel you man
Zelda music is an art, pure and simple. It's not just nostalgia, it's our childhood. It's not just good, it's awesome. It's not just nice sounding, it's EPIC. It's not just music, it's Zelda music.
Well said
@@chrismalveaux1323 Thank you!
Agreed, when I clean the house il sometimes put on Zelda music & my kids will look at me like Im crazy, but they just don't get it.😅😂 My son may someday though. Hopefully..
@@neal_rigga90 Lol, indeed!
Gotta love the sax! Very rare to hear saxophone in an orchestral setting, especially in modern scores even though its such a beautiful sound!
I played Alto Sax for all of middle and high school, the TOTK main theme brings literal tears of joy
My exact thoughts, I was so happy to see one as a alto saxophonist myself
Zelda is the best gaming franchise in history hands down.
Amen
Agree
not even top 30
Zelda, Final Fantasy and Pokemon. Oh and Metroid
Agreed and there are really only a couple others that would even be close.
I didn't have "live orchestra making me emotional by playing the soundtrack to my childhood" on my Friday morning agenda, but.. here we are! Thanks Nintendo ❤
I think we all felt that. ❤
Didn’t expect this today, but glad it released
And here I am, on a Friday morning.
I love it when links from around the world talk about their memories of The Legend of Zelda.
I feel that. Thanks, Link.
@neomotan1417 Exactly. My fondest memories are of playing OOT for the first time. I replay it every summer for the nostalgia.
this made me smile ! cheers from a Link
I agree! Been a Link since I was 8 and now I’m 19
Ugh...Hah!! ~ Link
I CANT BELIEVE TOTK IS ONE YEAR OLD
Ikrrr
It still feels like a fresh game that just came out yet it has been a previous year and so much time already passed. That's a good thing although!
Can't wait what the future will bring 💙
Still haven't best it

For 29 minutes and 14 seconds, I was in Hyrule. Thanks for so many years of pure joy!
Holy crap. LITTERAL GOOSEBUMPS. And the saxophonist in TOTK KILLED IT.
I cried multiple times. As someone who plays instruments and loves Zelda sm, this was so beautifully done.
they did really well.
yknow who did even better at their task though? Jesus. Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on RUclips and a RUclips channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and he will. God Bless :)
20:25 7 years passed and this still broke me up in tears 🥹
me as well. don't know why this piece in particular has such impact
Shut up 7 years, omg
Best trailer in History
tears.........OF THE KINGDOM (cdotkom). (honestly me too... i do not tear up but shivers run trhought my spine for minutes). modify: ok i just ended the whole video and the last song made me water a bit
Botw is my first zelda game 🥲
All these years later and that 2017 Switch Presentation Trailer music still gets me. What a beautiful tribute to the series
There's no music like Zelda music. I don't think these songs will be forgotten for a long, long time.
Final Fantasy music is better.
@@ThwipThwipBoomyes but not recently
Considering they keep playing the same 5 songs all the time it's hard to forget them.
@@Breeze926 Main quest does bring alot of the same tunes back all the time, but every area has it's own night and day music and alot of it is absolutely incredible
@@ThwipThwipBoom Thats just an opinion

The Legend of Zelda franchise has been something I've played throughout my entire life. My fondest memory was playing A Link to the Past with my grandfather. He was watching me play and noticed I was getting frustrated at a simple map puzzle that he had already figured out. He was in no way a gamer of any kind, but he was an incredibly intelligent man who decided to use this simple puzzle to teach his grandson how to read and utilize maps. Rest in peace George Sylvester, your wisdom will never be forgotten.
Final Fantasy music will never be topped.
@@ThwipThwipBoomnot at all the reply a comment like this should have.
That sounds like a great time to have had with them. Wish I had something like that with my grandparents, but they are all gone at this point. Hopefully at one point you can do the same for another in his honer.
@@ThwipThwipBoom Do you just go onto random comment threads that you don't even care about and be rude to people for kicks without reading what they even said? This person just shared a heartfelt memory of their grandfather-they weren't talking about the music, just the memory that this series brought them. This isn't a competition and there's no place for that kind of vitriol on a thread like this, it's disrespectful and totally irrelevant.
This is so cool I love when game companys organize these

Oh how I love Zelda. All the games. 68 and still playing and enjoying the journey. Thank you for this beautiful music. A real classic of all time.👍🥰
The Kakariko Village song will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like it is an iconic part of my childhood.
A link to the past is my all time favorite game. Remember so many great days as a kid with my snes playing it.
Nintendo if you see this, THANK YOU!!
This live orchestra plays just perfectly, not a single mistake or misplaced note. They even go perfectly synched with the video. I wish this was longer.
I absolutely LOVED this, especially as a cellist. That being said, nothing is absolved from criticism. Some of these pieces just simply don't sound as good without the choir. The BOTW trailer theme that everyone loves, I just didn't get that sensation of goosebumps without the choir belting out vocals in the background. It sounded empty.
There were pieces where the full orchestra worked perfectly, and I did get that sensation. My personal feeling is don't shortchange a piece if you're going to perform it. Go all out!
I absolutely agree with you that I wish it was longer. Twilight Princess' music is so under-appreciated. I went to a Zelda candlelight concert, and TP was the one major Zelda game that was left out, which was so frustrating.
@@nahor88 yeah I agree some of the pieces just sounded empty. That being said, it was all good, it was just missing some of the crazy full sounding harmonies and blending of a billion different sounds in a beautiful whirlwind of chords and notes. Also I don’t think any Zelda music is necessarily under appreciated, however I am at awe that a Zelda concert left out twilight princess music.
It's actually kind of interesting seeing the cues on their little video monitors so they stay in sync.
@@gooseguyfilms4460 I don't get why they didn't at least make this as long as Symphony of the Goddesses. They definitely used the same arrangements. Speaking of which, they need to bring that tour back! Absolutely loved how they'd add a piece on when a new Zelda game was released.
@@nahor88 I agree completely.
It was Kakariko Village of all things that made me tear up. What I would give to see this live! This was so amazing, thank you!!
Nintendo should release this music on vinyl.
What they should do is to release their soundtracks on Spotify
@@Nitram1423 both true
They should just release it in general, like on RUclips Music and Spotify
CD would be better.
vinyl sucks though
That Link's Awakening's medley is straight fire.
Makes me wanna play it, haven’t done it yet. Just by its music
@@fallenghoulsbest handheld Zelda, I hope you haven’t been spoiled by the ending
@@fallenghouls beautiful game. The original GB version is a bit cryptic, but I'm fairly sure the remake fixes a lot of that stuff.
@@emmiranda2I had a dream that someone did ruin it.
Still my absolute favorite, too!
Thankyou Nintendo. After all these years The Legend of Zelda still moves me like no other. I'm 50 now and I still have great joy listening and playing your great games.
this series means so much to me and my family. from my brother and i struggling to complete that eye puzzle in the first dungeon of skyward sword so much that we dragged our dad over to the wii to help us figure it out all the way to the three of us collectively freaking out over ganon's obscene boss bar in tears of the kingdom. i cried throughout watching this video. each and every one of these songs mean the world to me.
Thank you THANK YOU for including the BotW 2017 Trailer music. To this day, that trailer electrifies me. Every melodic allusion to BotW and the classic Zelda motifs along with the moments of silence and anticipation. It’s an absolute work of art in its own right as BotW or TotK. Just.. wow. Thank you thank you. Bravo performers and thank you Nintendo and the Zelda team for the many years of joy you’ve brought to me and now my family.
Could not have said it any better, such a wonderful piece!
BOTW trailer music, make me drops some tears. 😢 it's beautiful !
At that moment he wasn’t listening to music, he was living an experience.
Bro you can't be narrating my life like this 😂
Lol ;)
who is "he"
I heard that in Hunter x Hunter narrator voice👌🏾
Morgan Freeman voice 😂
Chills. Absolute chills. Zelda music is always top tier.
And will always be
Without a doubt one of the best in gaming history.
Kakariko Village Theme always give me goosebumps. It is such a good piece of music
Zelda's lullaby takes me back to 1998. Thanks Nintendo
It actually first came out in 1991 with a link to the past
@@jordanruiz626he first heard it on 98??
@@jordanruiz626 I never said it came out in 1998, Ocarina of Time was the first zelda game I played.
you got to love how these nintendo guys always pull up with their um well aktually🤓☝️@omarsalazar5782
EPIC!
A piece of art guiding me through life since i'm a kid (39 now). I'm so thankful to get to expirience those stories and music in this lifespan. I hope i'm still able to play Zelda games 30 years from now.
Same. Just turned 39 on Wednesday. Best birthday gift ever.
Same here. Now my elementary school aged kids get to experience it all via my old games.
37 here. We'll play Zelda as long as our hands allow us and then, we will watch someone do it on our behalf
I’m glad the soloists and orchestra stood up to bow after their performances. I wish I could have been there to give them the applause they deserved. 👏 👏 👏
The theme at the end. Awesome, just sitting with a huge grin on my face.
I legit burst into tears of joy a the main theme a the end.... IDK why it got me but it did, I love Zelda so much im proud to be a zelda fan!
I couldn't hold it back after 4 minutes
Each of these musicians must be extremely proud of themselves! To say they've been part of an orchestra that played Zelda music is an honour!
ok
I hope they are proud! They did an amazing performance!
@@soreachsina1472 what are u on about?
Agree. I'm sure they're huge Zelda fans themselves too!
*a honor
I cannot believe they played the 2017 Switch Presentation BotW trailer theme 😮 that hits so hard
Gives me goosebumps
Everyone says that the TOTK trailer music hits so hard, but Botw trailer music is still better on the feeling! Yes Ttok trailer music was hype and awesome, but Botw still reigns superior in my opinion because of the storytelling in the trailer
So sad that one of the best songs in the whole franchise doesn't even have a proper name or appears in the game. Just the "presentation theme" 😭😭
Little bummed they didn't do anything too obscure. Gimme freaking bottle grotto or something!!!
Wish we could’ve gotten some pieces from Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess too. This is so great. I would love to see them live.
Clock town would be great!
The BotW main theme makes me so nostalgic… it’s insane how long it has been now.
The chills. The tears. The joy. The emotion of it all. I'm just grateful to have grown up with Zelda and still be playing it today
Please, please, please take this score to orchestras across the world. I will buy tickets for sure!!
Teared a little when Link to the Past started playing. The first Zelda game I played that led to many others. Thanks dad, for setting me on the path.
17:51 song will always make me cry
That 2017 trailer is the best trailer for anything, i've ever seen.
It was such a good way to get people excited about the future of the Zelda franchise and wjere it was heading.
Hot take, the final TotK one surpassed it
ngl the part where Zelda cries and falls into Link's arms gets me every time
Funny because it's not even in the game, it was just for the trailer but is so epic!
True
This arrangement is just unspeakably beautiful. I have grown up with this series very close to my heart, and I love to see the old games still being remembered for how legendary they are. I hope Nintendo never stops making games and music like this.
They are masters of their craft
Gets me wondering if this is foreshadowing the Switch swans song as we get news of the next console this year.
Absolutely Beautiful
The Legend of Zelda
Best video game franchise
and it's not close
I’ve been playing the sax for 8 years I’ve never wanted anything more than to just play in an orchestra like this and make music for games like the legend of Zelda where they literally shaped my childhood such truly magnificent music needs more recognition and the people who play it each need recognition good job guys ❤❤❤
Me too! But I play oboe, and I’d kill to have the solo in ballad of the goddess 😁😁
This concert is amazing. I'm so sorry the performers missed out on a live audience. Well, here's a standing ovation from me!
ほんとに、私が生まれる前から続いてるゲームシリーズって不思議な感覚だ。こんなに長くシリーズを続けてくれて感謝しかないです。
Been a Zelda fan since I was a kid playing Link to the Past on SNES in the early/mid 90’s. The music touches your soul, I got emotional watching this 🥲
It was awesome check out the performance from eight years ago awesome as well
If I saw this in person I think I would cry
Nintendo, you guys just rock. Thank you for a great childhood and my midlife crisis.
You’re welcome
I am blessed to be in your crisis 💀
nice pfp
most of the time
Nintendo is a super toxic company though, great games, but toxic af business wise
Zelda and Final Fantasy are the two franchises whose music is more than just a soundtrack. It's ART. Pure, magnificent art.
there is another, with Kingdom hearts

Still my favorite Zelda title and in my opinion the saddest one. That ending still gets me every time I think about it.
So happy I grew up playing Zelda since I was a kid . I’ve always appreciated the beautiful music🤍🥹
I was raised with The Legend of Zelda and I'm just really thankful to everyone involved for making such wonderful games for us to enjoy. We don't deserve you guys ❤
Kakariko Village made me cry! So perfect. So beautiful.
New Kakariko song is good, but this old version makes me very relaxed and peaceful
Fully agree! When it started I just closed my eyes and just remained like that listening to it. It is so soothing and relaxing :)
Very nice song but it slightly bothers me that they said the song came from oot when it originated from alttp
@@joeshort6653 So true and even more when on screen they showed Kakario from a Link to the Past XD
Yeah oot gets too much credit for what alttp did first just saying oot is almost the same game as alttp just replace past and future with light and dark and make it 3d and you got pretty much the same game -the songs.
Time to bring back the Symphony of the Goddess concerts!
Link's Awakening medley, with the intersperse lonely melody of BotWF, was too much for my soul
for me, the link's awakening medley was by far the highlight. teared up as soon as the french horn started to play
I wholeheartedly agree!! LA has such a special spot in my heart. Tal Tal Heights theme was my ringtone for such a long time
That was one of my highlights too, although I was hoping they would include the Face Shrine theme.
Links Awakening Staff Roll low key one of the best songs in the franchise's history imo
When I tell you I cried, I cried because of how meaningful and grateful of how much these games have shaped my childhood and still shape me today. This is a masterpiece of a game franchise and you can find something for everyone in these games. It was the first game I ever played, and I’m so glad it was. Thank you so much Nintendo. Amazing all around!

I am 44 and Zelda Nintendo was, is and will be always in my mind forever. Old great times when I was a kid, first Zelda and the most beloved my Link to the Past and in present time Tears of the Kingdom. Zelda soundtracks are always masterpieces. Wished to be on that concert 😢 live. Thank you ever so much Zelda Nintendo ❤
So... Could we please get to hear Symphony of the Goddesses again?
If only
I wish
Me wish too
As a kid playing link's awakening on gameboy, I can only be amazed at how that game on that console has some of the BEST zelda tracks of all time and it reflects even in this concert! Amazing
6:56 I honestly teared up but I loved how they did this starting with tears of the kingdom, then into Skyward sword and so on it just flows so beautifully. Legend of Zelda from the beginning has captured my heart and it will always be something special. I haven't a clue when it could or will end but I am glad to have been here for the journey
Still one of the coolest things I have ever done was go to the Symphony of the Goddesses after BOTW came out---hearing the botw music with their orchestra was awesome. I miss the Symphony of the Goddesses, they need to bring it back.
Yes, I was lucky enough to go twice and both times was magical. 🥲
The callback to the 25th anniversary performance was an absolutely stellar finale
I've prepared choirs for live soundtrack performances, I've mixed recordings of both virtual and live performances, have conducted more performances of choral/orchestral repertoire than I can count, am a big fan of this game, and this a most excellent recording. Bravo to the whole team that put this together, very enjoyable.
