How to scare a zelda fan in a zelda game really really badly: 1. Turn the sky red. 2. Have those spooky zonai voices playing in the background 3. Have an increasingly large shadow appear above them 4. Have an extra large guardian just fall from the sky 5. 35:21
This is tough because a lot of these themes are repeated throughout the series, and the only way to tell them apart is the instrumentation. So like Aghanim’s and Ganondorf’s theme sound the same on piano. And there’s a dungeon in LA that has the the same melody as the LoZ Dungeon so they also sound identical on piano
Ooh yeah the Color Dungeon. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference until the second half of that theme (as it didn't appear in the original theme).
Yeah, Agahnim’s theme Vs. Ganon’s tower, Zelda from OoT vs zelda’s theme from alttp and Fi’s Gratitude Vs Fi’s Farewell all tripped me up. The last one might’ve been my fault but the other two felt kind of cheap. Amazing video and compositions, though.
Yeah, I also guessed Ganon's theme there since it is definitely used for him later in the series, and technically Aggie was just a shadow puppet of his anyway.
For those pieces, I didn’t always attempt to identify the name of the piece, or the specific character it was attributed to, but I’d guess something along the lines of “3D BBEG Theme.” and consider “close enough” to be “good enough”. Some I was able to infer based on the slight style differences, but that didn’t help much. BotW has a very distinct sound for instance, compared to most of the rest of the series.
@@pirategamer6630 True, I was questioning whether it was the OoT or LttP version, if theres much of any difference anyway. It gets used in file select screens also.
@@mike1024.Yeah all the way up to Link Between Worlds (I think, Idk abt TFH). But I think the ALTTP/OOT once transcribed are very similar on a piano. Could be wrong though. Think that one was the OoT version
@@wisping7843 That's really late game. Not everyone has tons of ancient arrows. Only people who are good at parrying or are really rich (can buy ancient arrows or ancient shield) can not be scared of guardians.
If you do not fear it you are someone that doesn't get scared @wisping7843 you are one of very few that aren't scared. Whether you have ancient arrows and an op bow or most people know the terror, the goosebumps, the shiver down your spine when you hear that sound...
I literally have a full inventory of swords and bows, with each doing at minimum 30 damage, can parry approximately 50% of the time, and have an 80 defense armor setup and yet I still fear it when I'm just walking along a road
I was listening to this, while laying in my bed. The sound of the music very relaxing, specially because most of them are nice and not loud. The notes, boucing from my headphones to my ears, helping me to sleep... And then there was Dragon Root Island
I always thought it was weird that Termina field & the Link's Awakening overworld had a rearrangement of the OG overworld theme given that they arent hyrule at all. It just seems odd to use for an alternate world.
The main overworld theme has pretty much been officially Link's theme since SS made it the "Song of the Hero," so I think it makes sense retroactively, especially for LA since it's partially taking place in Link's mind.
I agree. It’s very ominous and eerie… especially after you discovered the true nature of Koholint and it’s inhabitants. I feel the music reflects the feelings of Link in that moment…. Somber, scary, mysterious, and tense. You as the player get the feeling that the stakes are now higher, and the dungeon music makes you feel unsure about continuing your quest… For simply being a Gameboy game, it’s surprisingly got a lot of depth to it. Also, the remake on the switch did an awesome job recreating the music! Especially the Face Dungeon 😭😙🤌
97/100. Not bad, if I do say so myself. I think it would have been cool if there were songs from other Zelda games, like the Oracles, Minish Cap, the DS Zeldas, etc.
Suppose 88 ain't too bad right? I recognized everything EXCEPT the Age of Calamity one, but forgot to name or remember where these ones played at: Milk Bar Cremia's Carriage Song Groose's Theme (Confused with the Pirate theme lol) Mayor's Office Molduga Pirate's Fortress Link and his Loftwing (Thought Romance in the Air repeated) Eagle's Tower Agitha's Castle Bamboo Island Island in the Sky Lake Hylia (TP) Overall great list! I loved how you chose to put Final Fall instead of the actual TotK theme at the end, very sneaky.
PianoMan, I’m Kevin. I run Zelda Music Theory.

I think I got all but one classic themes ( Oot and prior ), and maybe 1/3 of the rest, called the Lost Woods as Kokiri Forest until that one actually came up. Also, Zelda 2 music doesn't get enough love. The dungeon, or "palace", theme is superbly classic and deserves just as much replay as the classic dungeon theme. I'm curious how many people with PTSD immediately recognized the Guardian Theme, but not Zelda's Lullaby?
I got 87/100. The main ones that stumped me were Link to the Past, Zelda II, or Link's Awakening, because I only played those games once and/or it was a long long time ago.
88/100 - got half point if got the game, half point if got the context/name I never listened to the OST version of Ganon’s Tower, had no idea it started like that, I only missed because I only knew what it sounded like in the game Was blown away that you used A Quiet Moment, I play that for my kindergartners during rest time
Things I learned from this video. 1, even some of the most recognizable and iconic songs in video game history become difficult to recognize when played on a different instrument. 2, a lot of songs in the series use the series main theme as a motif. 3, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom's soundtracks so atmospheric that the only one I could tell what specific song it was is the Guardian battle theme.
I got 75. I’m pretty happy with that, given I haven’t played any zelda games in about two years now. Almost all of the ones I didn’t guess i had recognised, just forgot where or what game they were in lol.
I got 70/100. Not what I wanted, but it’ll do. Edit: It’s worth noting that I have only played botw and totk and a little bit of SS. I have also played aoc, so…
56/100. Not the best, but I guess I should play Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Wind Waker in order to know the songs lol. Oh and if you wanna be specific, I can’t remember the number, but the “Church” theme from A Link to the Past is actually called “Safety in the Sanctuary.” I always get picky about that because lots of people tend to get that wrong lol
I got about 70%-80% at least close but often correct. I don't think I missed a single one from Skyward Sword, my most replayed game. I did particularly bad on champion themes from BotW and TotK. I guess those are more one-time, so they didn't stick with me. I'm glad Link's Awakening got a remake or I would've done much worse on this. I notice the oracle games didn't make it in here, but I'm not complaining because I would have missed every one of them as long ago as I played those (and only once).
No Minish Cap at all was a bit of a bummer. And as someone who's never played or knows anything about BotW or TotK, I failed based on # of correct answers.
i’m shocked how well i did, i knew pretty much every main console theme, and if i wasn’t sure of song name for game correct every time! wasn’t sure of which the handheld games where from but got all the handhelds correct as their composition is a little simpler and less recognisable themes
breath of the wild / tears of the kingdom are some of the easiest to stop even if you’re not 100% on the song as pretty much every piece is played much slower than in other zelda games
Hey Pianoman333, hope you’re doing well! I sent a comment a couple weeks ago, I’ve been waiting for your Zelda vid to drop so I can potentially “react” to it. Basically take it like a test to see how I do and have viewers follow along, then stop and briefly analyze each theme in real time.

Great Fairy Fountain from Ocarina of Time.
I'm not a longtime Zelda fan but I knew something wasn't right xD
Thanks for the clarification!
I thought it was the SS file select... well both have the same melody
It's actually from Link to the Past before Ocarina of Time but close enough

2. Have those spooky zonai voices playing in the background
3. Have an increasingly large shadow appear above them
4. Have an extra large guardian just fall from the sky
5. 35:21
I was playing totk while listening to this and I was just exploring the great plateau then suddenly 35:21 happened. Nearly gave me a heart attack lol.
Unfortunately there is only one guardian in totk
And it’s not alive
It’s on I believe ancient Hateno tech lab. And it’s tied up
SAME
I will have a grudge against you for piqueing my interest, that genuinely activated my fight or flight response without even playing either game
Guess the music quizzes are so underrated, then this 53 minute legendary video pops up in my recommended! amazing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! In case you want more, I have many other music quizzes in this playlist :)

In those cases I gave it to myself if it was too similar. Or at least a half a point
Number 45 was actually great fairy fountain from Ocarina of Time if I remember correctly
I think his answer was Lorule Castle from Ocarina of Time, so we all know that's incorrect!
@@mike1024.it also wasn't even originally from Ocarina of Time. It originated in Link to the Past

Oot uses it as the title, when your choosing a file
35:21 - breath of the wild players should recognize this one well. They should also fear it.
wdym all you need is a savage lynel bow and an ancient arrow and you can kill them on one shot
@@wisping7843 That's really late game. Not everyone has tons of ancient arrows. Only people who are good at parrying or are really rich (can buy ancient arrows or ancient shield) can not be scared of guardians.

Its really heartwarming to know I havent played these games in years and I still recognize most of these.
Good music is good forever.
Damn near threw my phone when the Guardian Stalker theme came up even though i recognized the composition before it hit the keys 😂😂
The Skyward Sword ones gave me instant nostalgia. I freaking love that game! ❤️
Jumpscare at 35:21 really got me
What is more scary to meet, Guardians or Gloom Hands?
its #69 too lmao
Both man
Botw is so old that I’m not even scared of guardians anymore
I was listening to this, while laying in my bed. The sound of the music very relaxing, specially because most of them are nice and not loud. The notes, boucing from my headphones to my ears, helping me to sleep...
And then there was Dragon Root Island
I always thought it was weird that Termina field & the Link's Awakening overworld had a rearrangement of the OG overworld theme given that they arent hyrule at all. It just seems odd to use for an alternate world.
If you see the Overworld theme as Link's Theme or the Theme of the Spirit of the Hero, he becomes the connecting thread.
The main overworld theme has pretty much been officially Link's theme since SS made it the "Song of the Hero," so I think it makes sense retroactively, especially for LA since it's partially taking place in Link's mind.
Love how Twilight Princess music stands out from the rest for me. Just has that sad kind of vibe to all the songs.
Exactly!
76/100. Not a bad score! It's crazy how you can instantly recognize some of the songs. Thanks for bringing back my childhood!
I'm so glad this ended with Link's Awakening Credits theme. It's one of my favorite credit themes from the Zelda games followed by Windwaker's.
the fact that I did not recognize Sidon's theme, but recognized Daruk's and Yunobo's clearly shows which Hyrule race is my favorite lol
I literally lost it when I heard the Face Shrine theme...
My favorite dungeon theme in the entire series.
Same
…yea
I never understood the shrine coz I'm dumb
@@CubedWatermelon-uy6ok yo same dude

I forgot the ones listed in the beginning and guessed Minish Cap at least three or four times. :P
I would have done better if there wasn't as much BotW or TotK
I'm doing pretty poorly so far, but that's totally ok. Just listening to piano renditions of all this amazing Zelda music is a reward in itself! 🥰
Suppose 88 ain't too bad right?
I recognized everything EXCEPT the Age of Calamity one, but forgot to name or remember where these ones played at:
Milk Bar
Cremia's Carriage Song
Groose's Theme (Confused with the Pirate theme lol)
Mayor's Office
Molduga
Pirate's Fortress
Link and his Loftwing (Thought Romance in the Air repeated)
Eagle's Tower
Agitha's Castle
Bamboo Island
Island in the Sky
Lake Hylia (TP)
Overall great list! I loved how you chose to put Final Fall instead of the actual TotK theme at the end, very sneaky.
I was getting worried that Midnas Lament was nowhere to be seen, but I finally made it :)
I especially love your guess the piano music videos. Keep up with those.
So happy you included AoC songs as well !
It was at number 96 that I FINALLY realised the colours of the notes do actually give a clue.
46/100 I thought I knew Zelda better, but wind waker and older tripped me up a lot
5:05 It always gets me... I don't know how to explain it, but I get really emotional listening to this version.
Feels like home

Except grandma theme
I cried, I literally cried 😢

I was hoping it'd end on Goose's theme haha.
loved hearing the champion's themes from botw, but you forgot Ghirahim's theme. thats a skyward sword classic!
59/100. Not as good as I wanted, but acceptable
Just barely a failing grade
I saw 59/100 way too many times in school

2/100 I’ve never played Zelda games, im a Mario person
@@yeet5109I like both, but the Zelda games usually have better gameplay, story, length, and music in my opinion

45 was Lorule Castle from Ocarina of Time? I can think of SEVERAL reasons why I never would have guessed that.

Hahahaha
Can't get enough of this!
Yes number 45 is for sure Lorule castle yup- it’s ok a mistype still enjoyed it as a big Zelda fan!
Fairy fountain
amazin
30 was lost woods/Saria’s song my fav Zelda song😁
My favorite song
Hidden Village is my favorite ever zelda song, and I'm fairly certain some of those notes are wrong. I'm even listening to them at the same time
Getting to the hidden village is my favorite moment in all of videogames
