To those who stumble upon this video for the first time, or have come back to revisit it, and continue to love this theme as much as I do. Consider giving my latest video a watch? ua-cam.com/video/EUyL9F7bWUY/v-deo.html I hope to spread the joy I have with this theme as well as all the other details I love about this game :)
One of my favorite parts about this theme is that each one is composed in the style of the boss theme itself, so it's not the complete same for every one.
I once saw a comment saying something like “you could almost sing along and say “now’s your chance to hit the boss, now’s your chance to hit the boss, now’s your chance to hit the boss, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it”
I think what makes the Blizzeta version best is that the other versions only play when the boss is stunned. Hers plays when she's at low health instead.
King Bulblins horse battle when you're saving Colin functions like that as well, which I unfortunately didn't show in this video as I didn't know about it at the time. My other Advantageous video has it though.
I hear that dude. They kinda brought it back in Skyward Sword for the Tentalus and Scaldera bosses but nothing more. And in BOTW it's only kinda in the Molduga fight. Every boss deserves their Advantageous theme imo.
I love this little motif so much. Not only does it serve a gameplay purpose (an indicator for when you can attack) but also it's thematically awesome because it's like your own personal battle theme is taking over for a moment.
Small touches like these are so important to the overall quality of every gameplay experience. This made me appreciate the soundtrack even more than I thought was possible.
It's not exactly the theme of the Hyrule field, is the theme of twilight princess, there's a lot of parts from the theme around the OST, for example on Midna's lament or the Gerudo desert theme
This feature alone made Twlight Princess so great to play! It's that small moment when you swing your Wiimote like crazy or smash that B button on your Controller. I wish Nintendo would do this more often. Creates tension :D
she is unique in that she is virtually the only dungeon boss that doesn't "expose a weak point." she is always vulnerable! so instead of the music changing when the window of opportunity arises, it changes when link is close to winning and is pushing his advantage
@@hioman You don’t just get to name other people’s music based on your own head canon, and I’ve never seen anybody anywhere call it “Links Fanfare”. That’s completely made up.
While it is just one looping set of notes, in the context of battles, it makes SO much of a difference. Small touches like this really make me love this game. I hope they bring back advantageous themes in future zelda games.
@@crystalalumina Of course! The motif is used all throughout the game, and it does really help give the game it's own identity. It's amazing how this one motif can convey so many different emotions!
@@polecat9945 there's also the main melody of the theme which is used in other stuff like Gerudo Desert or Midna's lament, I love how this game flawlessly pulls out stuff like that, I think the composers for this game are named Toru Minegishi and Asuka Hayazaki, just to say who's the mastermind behind this OST
@@crystalalumina For sure. The multiple motifs used is many different locations really make it all feel connected. Like one big world with one beating heart. And yes big shoutouts to Asuka Hayazaki, Toru Minegishi, and of course, Koji Kondo for making one of, if not the best Zelda soundtracks to date.
I’m currently replaying Twilight Princess on my M1 MacBook Pro emulated through Dolphin. Running it at 4k resolution and kicking a bosses butt while this music plays feels EXACTLY like how I remember the game. It’s hit every nostalgia itch I’ve been craving from this era. I love my old consoles but there’s something to be said in seeing your favorite nostalgia era games come to life in the high fidelity your brain remembers them as.
I just fondly remember fighting Morpheel, hookshotting onto its weak spot, when this started playing. It just feels so badass when you start slashing at its eye with the Wii remote with the theme playing in the background.
Since I have the wii version, my hype is able to be channeled much more thoroughly, I would swing the wii remote and nunchucks like a powerful blade, and also press a for the jump slash! A great feeling indeed.
All of these would always play in my head when I was either almost done cleaning, doing homework, working out and running in a track and field race lol
1:38 I like this one so much, its the great way it mixes with the boss theme, and the octave deeper than usual makes it have grounds for it's great drums, bass and brass
I never knew they were different arrangements (or instrument swaps) based on the theme of the boss. I always assumed it was just the transition into it that was distinct.
Twilight Princess isn’t my favorite Zelda but it’s my 2nd next to Skyward Sword. The attention to detail they build off of Ocarina is nothing short of astounding. It’s not as impressive as the detail they put into truly creating the incarnations and what made Hyrule altogether that makes up the whole SERIES from Skyward Sword but damn was this impressive. Truly hope they combine the story focus peak of Skyward Sword and the gameplay peak of Botw with a focus on Twilight Princess for Botw 2. Because it seems they just might go through the effort. And if they do, I think Zelda might become the true focus of Nintendo over even Mario because that’s pretty much peak of video games if that happens.
Every 3D Zelda has something missing that other 3D Zelda’s do great For example: Breath of the Wild has the open world but lacks in a fleshed out story and dungeons, while Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword have the solid dungeons and more fleshed out story than Breath of the Wild
Pretty sure this also played during the dragon boss of the Sky Temple. If I recall, you hookshot onto him and drag him down to the ground and it plays as the both of you are falling.
You are indeed correct. This tune plays during the Agorok boss fight in City of the Sky. However Agorok and Morpheel (Lakebed boss) share the same boss theme so I omitted Agorok to avoid being redundant.
Fyrux lyrics: 0:16 Shoot his head and pull the chain now the blood is gonna rain Stab the ruby on his head yea fyrux will soon be dead Shadows have rotten your mind Dont leave goodness just behind The shadows controling you Actually your nice thats true C`mon your my goron friend You just have to understand
More games need to do this kind of thing. Knocking a boss down or even just doing large amounts of damage at once could trigger triumphant music. Also, can we just agree TP was the most badass incarnation of Link? He's the only one where other NPCs looked up to him in that way. The entire game just feels super triumphant because of the OST and Links behavior.
0:16 that moment when this music starts but u gotta take a second to do a little hop to take take off the iron boots before u run up to the boss and start fkin it up😅💯
0:150:371:401:57 my all times favorite, they just scream "Now's the time to settle things once and for all!) I just love it. Old and good... my life as a child was different and much more better in many affectives and emotionals aspects than my adult one... all the sources of problems are just humans inventions, nothing less and nothing more.
Age of Calamity has these "critical hit" tunes too, and they are hype as hell... made me want to go and listen to the ones from Twilight Princess again hahaha oh man the feeling you get in game when you're kicking some ass to these tunes!!! Thanks for sharing this.
I feel like most people think that BoTW has the most attention to detail, but Twilight Princess does. These are some of the many amazing details in this game!
Jump attack then spin attack enemies as soon as you land, thank me later! (oh also it probably works better to do that with the Wii! But you should try it with the wii u as well, I don't know how it works there lol)
You know the boss is at your mercy when you hear this kick in, unless you're fighting Blizzeta, in which case it'll probably fly right by you. And it's usually just a snippet of Hyrule Field's theme.
To this day I still regard this as one of the HARDEST uses of dynamic music in a video game. Not a particularly complex implementation, but _damn_ is it satisfying!
I'd recommend Age Of Calamity. Nearly every stronghold, miniboss and boss has a "critical" phase to the music, where it either changes key or speeds up, or both.

Loved ur review
The Boss: Why do I hear Anti-Boss Music?
Honestly 😂
Did you just make an awesome comment?
@Owen’s Ecosphere that's what I thought!😂
LMAO
Lol
can we appreciate just how badass this feels when it kicks in as youre beating the bosses ass
This is one of many reasons why Twilight Princess is my favorite game ever.
It’s so memorable because you swing the Wii-more and feel empowered
It's a small detail but it just feels so good everytime!
@@darthg1zmo21 uh...it was not originally on the wii...child. it was originally on game cube. a game console that luckily I still have...
@@hylianchampion8867 isn't that theme in other games, too? TP is my favorite, too, by the way.
One of my favorite parts about this theme is that each one is composed in the style of the boss theme itself, so it's not the complete same for every one.
I love this theme
Honestly who doesn’t
Same !!!!!!!
I once saw a comment saying something like “you could almost sing along and say “now’s your chance to hit the boss, now’s your chance to hit the boss, now’s your chance to hit the boss, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it”
Pure *A R T*
Brings back all the badass nostalgia!
They also used this little riff if you got an invincible power up in the multi-player mode of spirit tracks
Phoenix Yeah lol, I remember when I was playing TP for the first time my bro mentioned it.
@@neonmajora8454, can I please get a link of a video to showing this?! I’d love that!
@@lady_lexi_ Well here’s the music ua-cam.com/video/EwDZpUZgrp4/v-deo.html
I think this is also referred to as "Link's Fanfare" by most people
I’ve heard “Triumphant Theme”, “Weakness Exposed”, and “Vulnerable” before as well
I just call it the weak point fanfare
i just call it "nows your chance"
Vulnerable, Strike now!, etc.
And those people are wrong.
I think what makes the Blizzeta version best is that the other versions only play when the boss is stunned. Hers plays when she's at low health instead.
King Bulblins horse battle when you're saving Colin functions like that as well, which I unfortunately didn't show in this video as I didn't know about it at the time. My other Advantageous video has it though.
That feels good when you’re immersed
It also plays ganons theme if you listen closely
I think thats because unlike other bosses, Blizetta doesn't have a moment where she's stunned. You never use your sword on her either.
@@Mr.Welbig Hidden Skill Training has it too (also in the hyrule warriors version)
This produces Dopamine in every player's brain
I really hope these themes come back in BotW 2 when fighting bosses, they made you feel so badass striking back at them.
I hear that dude. They kinda brought it back in Skyward Sword for the Tentalus and Scaldera bosses but nothing more. And in BOTW it's only kinda in the Molduga fight. Every boss deserves their Advantageous theme imo.
Sorry they had to remove it, it broke the game too much with its badass theme
Apparently Boss Advantage or smth is mixed into one of the major bosses :D
@@The_Jumping_Box I haven’t heard it, plus the bosses r kinda lame (water temple)
@@ThePypy27 idk, sure the boss itself looks kinda goofy, but the goofiness is half of the fun of Zelda games.
Also sludge shark looks badass
It's cool how Armogohma has a slower version because it takes place in a time themed dungeon
You figured it out too!
the water dungeon boss's theme is also a little slower because it takes place underwater and link swings his sword more slowly
Character designers in LOZ are just truly talented
i never realized that the song is subtly different for every boss
Blizzetta's version is probably my favorite of them all.
Same
Igniter fyrus for me
It's a bit more subtle, but it goes so well with the rest of the music that it sounds amazing.
WTF THE FIELD .. never noticed that, or the variations
For me, its either Blizzetta’s or Armagohma’s version
Zant is the only one without the "Boss Weakpoint" Theme
Honestly, Zant is so weak it would've been kind of redundant
Fitting though. Dude was nothing but a poser.
@@klawschafer7425 true xD But he has part of Ganondorfs Powers making Zants powerlevel equal to Ghirahim
@@Jampolo_OG It's just Link that levelled up so high. Zant technically is the second strongest boss in the game, despite not seeming like it.
@@lookslikenik6931 and ghirahim still was nothing to link xD
1:11 makes the hidden weak point theme and the boss battle 100x better
Edit: I learned more at 3:01 than i do in school
it makes the song worse m8
@@zaynomak Well, Not really
@@TheMortalBeastDK no it does
Isn’t all that a bit subjective?
@@EternalShadow1667 You are the MAN, the LEGEND.
I love this little motif so much. Not only does it serve a gameplay purpose (an indicator for when you can attack) but also it's thematically awesome because it's like your own personal battle theme is taking over for a moment.
I actually miss this game
I wanna play this masterpiece now
@@nogun6197 i wouldnt call it a masterpiece. The older games are masterpieces, especially zelda 2 💗
@@FinalMegaFangirl1230 Zelda 2 is the worst, That is a strait fact.
it was Zelda 2s anniversary yesterday. its my favourite Zelda game. And i dont care what people say, it will ALWAYS be the best zelda game EVER 💖💖💖💖💖
@@FinalMegaFangirl1230 in what way
Small touches like these are so important to the overall quality of every gameplay experience. This made me appreciate the soundtrack even more than I thought was possible.
Holy shit i never realized that theme was just the theme of Hyrule field.. that adds so much context to the theme
You’re they add the context like: for hyrule!!!
I never realized either! My jaw was all like SLAM! on the floor
It's not exactly the theme of the Hyrule field, is the theme of twilight princess, there's a lot of parts from the theme around the OST, for example on Midna's lament or the Gerudo desert theme
i think its the leitmotiv for twilight link, that melody always plays when link is having the upper hand, in the middle of darkness and hardships.
@@jesusvera7941No, he has a theme in game.
This motif is pretty nostalgic.
This feature alone made Twlight Princess so great to play! It's that small moment when you swing your Wiimote
like crazy or smash that B button on your Controller. I wish Nintendo would do this more often. Creates tension :D
Best feeling in the world is hearing this music I swear to god
I don't know what it is about the Blizzeta one, but that one always feels extra special. It blends in so superb.
I agree with you!
she is unique in that she is virtually the only dungeon boss that doesn't "expose a weak point." she is always vulnerable! so instead of the music changing when the window of opportunity arises, it changes when link is close to winning and is pushing his advantage
When you remember the answer to a question from your exam
So accurate! it's time to be proud of ourselves.
Just right before the time limit ends! 😂
I didn't even knew they were all variations! That's cool!
The ✨memories✨ this brings back
Fun fact: Link's leitmotif also plays when you beat a boss. Specifically while the main theme is doing the last 3 notes
What does that have to do with this song? This isn’t “Link’s theme”.
@@RenSako thr theme is called "link's fanfare." It's a fan made name, sure, but only because the developers didn't name it
@@hioman So in other words, it’s *not* called “Links Fanfare”. Got it.
@@hioman You don’t just get to name other people’s music based on your own head canon, and I’ve never seen anybody anywhere call it “Links Fanfare”. That’s completely made up.
@@RenSako I've literally had people reply to me on other videos saying it's called link's fanfare

0:35 When you grapple onto this boss, it feels like shadow of the colossus.
Literally my first thought as I was fighting that boss. I’m currently in the middle of playing Twilight Princess for the first time in my life XD
Nothing more satisfying than that moment you finally figure out how to beat them.

I love my old consoles but there’s something to be said in seeing your favorite nostalgia era games come to life in the high fidelity your brain remembers them as.
This was such a nice touch for Zelda bosses, shame we didn't see this on further games 😢
These clips can be summed up in one word: "NOW!"
I just fondly remember fighting Morpheel, hookshotting onto its weak spot, when this started playing. It just feels so badass when you start slashing at its eye with the Wii remote with the theme playing in the background.
The feeling of jumping on 3rd bosses back and stabbing it in the eyes with this music
It devolves into pure chaos at the end, but... I like it. Also, I always think of Morpheel and Argorok's screams when this plays
DUDE THIS GAME IS SO GOOD
adding this during the boss battles was so genius, another reason why i love this game so much!
It’s the little things like this that make this game one of the greatest ever.
This was such a good piece of game design
Was there not a version for the City in the Sky boss?
It's the same version as the Morpheel boss since they both share the same theme.
@@Mr.Welbig how did i never notice wtfff
I remember this theme got me so hype, that I kept *SMASHING* the A button.
Since I have the wii version, my hype is able to be channeled much more thoroughly, I would swing the wii remote and nunchucks like a powerful blade, and also press a for the jump slash! A great feeling indeed.
All of these would always play in my head when I was either almost done cleaning, doing homework, working out and running in a track and field race lol
1:38 I like this one so much, its the great way it mixes with the boss theme, and the octave deeper than usual makes it have grounds for it's great drums, bass and brass
I feel like this is the theme that plays when someone you're arguing with makes a minor spelling mistake
I never knew they were different arrangements (or instrument swaps) based on the theme of the boss. I always assumed it was just the transition into it that was distinct.
The theme of stabbing eyeballs.
Anyone wonder why Argorok isn’t shown? It’s because it has the same theme as Morpheel, being a Hookshot/Clawshot boss battle
It's cuz they both have the same advantage theme
2:12
All together now!
This game was just fking awesome. I just hope that Nintendo will make BOTW 2 more dark and more similar to TP and OOT.
Besides the darker tone, I wish the next Zelda (after BOTW2) takes a more "semi-realistic" art style, something like Zelda Tech Demo for Wii U.
What did you guys think of totk
I remember getting so pumped when this theme played during the big dragon fight. Fantastic to amplify an already cool battle
Twilight Princess isn’t my favorite Zelda but it’s my 2nd next to Skyward Sword. The attention to detail they build off of Ocarina is nothing short of astounding.

I love that they all sound slightly different. Although you did miss the Dragon
Argorok and Morpheel share the same boss theme so it wasn't necessary to include it.
official lyrics:

AAAA thank you so much
I loved hearing this whilst stabbing bosses like Morpheel and Argorok in the eye
It’s even better when you hear the bosses screaming in pain as you thrust your sword in them (wait that kinda sounded weird(
finally i found it
The argarok boss is soo cool like you grapple on one thing to the other then when you get on it then the music plays ahh

Very, very catchy. And epic as well.
You know the boss is at your mercy when you hear this kick in, unless you're fighting Blizzeta, in which case it'll probably fly right by you. And it's usually just a snippet of Hyrule Field's theme.

To this day I still regard this as one of the HARDEST uses of dynamic music in a video game. Not a particularly complex implementation, but _damn_ is it satisfying!
I'd recommend Age Of Calamity.
Nearly every stronghold, miniboss and boss has a "critical" phase to the music, where it either changes key or speeds up, or both.
I never noticed it was different every time
Can we get 10 hours of all theses mixed together?
We need more views
Oh, I love all the fun you had after playing through them individually!
2:58 when you lose the sword clash a few notes of oot's game over theme plays instead of the hyrule field theme(advantage).
the clash theme has bits of this when winning against dorf. always win against dorf.
Wish that would be its own track I love it so much 😍
What!? I never knew it was the Hyrule field theme!
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS
THANK YOU
Ah yes.
Middle school or late elementary school memories of me
Saying to the boss "I GOTCHA NOW!!"
1:54 AND HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST!
This theme just isn’t the same without the constant mashing of the attack button.
