Not gonna lie, I thought that when the Guardian's still came up on the screen, we would immediately get the Guardian Battle track, going by what the thumbnail implied.
-Not only that, but as soon as the music changes the guardian's eye starts glowing, then the menu options become temporarily unavailable except for a new option that says: "parry" and if you don't parry the incoming laser you are sent back to the system menu and have to launch the game again. ^-^
I would treasure and look forward to the main menu music every time I start a new zelda release. I wish we could have it back in future releases. Seeing this video makes it feel so strange that there isnt any menu music.
If this had been the menu music, I almost certainly would've sit and listened for a while the first time I ever booted up the game. Music is such a powerful medium.
i feel like this should be the reward for beating the game and then before that it could be something similar to what plays when you are in hyrule field
Would be nice if you made one for TotK. Maybe like a slowed down version of the lightroot theme or a piano cover of the voices you hear at the start of the game (Prologue).
I agree. I probably would have liked that better. 😊 I remember being a bit disappointed about the signature Zelda intro being removed, but overall it was still a good game, and I had lots of fun playing it!
I always ADORE the title screens of older Zelda games (Twilight Princess has to be my favorite, with Ocarina of Time being a very close second!). I started with BOTW as a zelda game, then did Skyward Sword, OOT, MM, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, then Tears of the Kingdom. I was shocked seeing the older games having title screen music that were also just INCREDIBLE! I was super disappointed not having TOTK have music! Next Zelda game better feel more like a traditional Zelda game: give us more upbeat music, I'm tired of the calm soundtrack in Tears of the Kingdom, I barely remember the OST in that game compared to every other game, even though I have over 390 hours and already 100% everything! As well as more restrictions with dungeon exploration and when it comes to accessing the final boss and Master Sword!
I’m not sure about you, but it made me tear up because I missed when my babysitter would bring her Nintendo 64 and Zelda: Majora's Mask. I would eat my dinner and finish my homework in a hurry just so I could play the game as much as I could before bedtime. I was on the living room floor in front of the TV and console, I wrapped underneath a blanket with my arms sticking out, and the menu music enthralled me, while the babysitter was on the couch behind me. It was a cozy feeling, like Nintendo knew how to ease players into the game before the adventure began. If I wasn’t playing the game (because a lot of things in that game scared me), the menu music would help me sleep, like it was a lullaby. Imagine my surprise when I entered Clock Town's Great Fairy Fountain.
The weird thing is that the Wii U release did have menu music. I didn’t know that until I watched a music quiz on The Video Game Professors’ channel a few months ago, having only played the Switch release.
@@Goolix_Aero then where the heck did the music the Video Game Professors claim is Wii U BotW’s main menu music? Could it have been stored in the files but went unused for some reason?
@@arctistarfox I think you may be talking about the main theme. It plays briefly when you exit the shrine of resurrection. There is no menu theme, and the Wii U and Switch versions are identical content wise.
The whole minimalist presentation which seems very popular in tech of this era doesn’t fit Zelda at all imo. Zelda is extensive and fun and epic, no reason to act all restrained in the menus like it’s an arthouse film. Just look at what a little menu music can do for you! Nothing wrong with showing some style. On another level this even applies to the story and arguably overworld music.

that would've been pretty funny. XD
This. I was waiting for the punchline!
Bro same

NINTENDO LITERALLY MISSED THEIR CHANCE!!!!!!!!
Ikr, maybe next time they'll correct their mistake.

ikr, so strange, I'd literally mod the game just to have it back.
If this had been the menu music, I almost certainly would've sit and listened for a while the first time I ever booted up the game. Music is such a powerful medium.
Ikr, music can be a powerful tool. Glad you liked it!
I miss this. this is so calming
super calming

that could be cool.

Only thing that’s missing now is an intro cinematic like the OG games had
IKR, needs something Twilight Princess level...
Honestly this fits, considering the trend zelda games often have with the title screen having the Great Fairy Fountain
Zelda menu themes are the best!
Holy moly, put this on Spotify please!
I'm sure this would take any OG Zelda fan on a trip down Memory Lane (it did for me)
Sure did for me too lol, glad you enjoyed it!
This is actually the theme you hear when you go near a fairy in TOTK (maybe botw too) but faster.
Oh cool, I didn't know that.

Both of these tracks are amazing
Nintendo's refusal to use old music for anything other than a minor motif pisses me off
Rito Village?
The composer of the game even said how he didn’t want to rely too much on old tracks just for nostalgia bait
@@Hebiiiii1 and yet every single time he does use a motiff it's for that exact purpose lmao it's called an excuse

No it does not. I have only played the Wii U version.

@@Goolix_Aero if you say so
in addition to being great, this is better than nothing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
NINTENDO IT ISN'T TOO LATE TO UPDATE THE GAME AND MAKE THIS REAL
I still play BOTW!
I miss Zelda games
ikr, they so good!
wdym this is still a zelda game
Honestly I like it at 1.25x speed
lol

That is perfect
This is the one thing botw could have done better 😭
IKR
10/10
agreed!
ha me to
Unfortunately this is true
too true :(
It could be worse. It could have not been in the game in any form at all.
Clickbait. You disappoint me.
