I’ll never understand why Nintendo is now so averse to menu music. The Switch menu is silent, the eShop menu is silent, and now the menus of their two biggest Zelda games are silent. It makes no sense.
It's a thing that seems to plague a lot of the Switch. A severe lack of intros, silent title cards, etc. Pokémon Sword/Shield notably lacks an intro, BOTW and TOTKs title cards are extremely barebones, etc.
Its this minimalistic design culture that we have. Nothing is fun anymore. Everything made in the 80s and early 90s had personality. Now even video games are imitating corporate suits.
@@Degdreams real! it feels like a lot of that charm is gone, earlier games have that title theme/menu select that you just listen to for a minute before playing (and it’s successful! Just look at ocarina of time!)
This is great. Honestly, the TotK menu screen was already leagues better than BotW's just by itself, but I think everyone can agree it could've used some background music
I like how u incorporated the fairy fountain theme that is very traditional for most zelda home screens but is so subtle that it fits the theme of totk and the zonai chanting As a zelda nerd i appreciated the detail, great job!
I love this content music here and I’m not against if they add any, but whenever I finish the credits and I got sent back to the menu with no audio I almost cried
I have been struggling these last years with a triple licence, in two weeks it will be over. Exactly a year ago I was living my worst, most awful time in these licences. I had a very bad PC, which is now broken, but then I heard that the new Zelda was about to release, so I installed Breath of the Wild to see if it was true that it was one of the best games out there. Indeed. It is now my favourite game, and it helped me a lot during that shitty period of time. Playing it I was just calm, no one expected me to be something. And since a year my sole dream has been to finish the game. For a year the background noise of my late study nights has been BOTW ambiences. This is a glimmer of hope for me, cuz tomorrow my finals begin, and never mind the results: in two weeks I will start the game a new and this time I will finish it.
I think the menu music should change the more you progress in the game. At the start its just regular, silence and some weird noises to fuel the spooky and mysterious feeling the trailer gives, then the menu music gets more detailed and calming/fun with more features to add to the sense of "progression" in the game.
I like what you did with the menu music! But I do think you should've made it more creepy? Like how the original one had creepy singing, maybe add to that and make it sound even terrifiying/unsettling ^^
It would be really good to have a Menu Theme like this one im Tears of The Kingdom, fit's so well. I would even try to play that i'm my Piano, cause it looks like a reflexive music to listen for hours and sounds relaxing to play. They could have add it as a bonus for those who finished the "story mode", this silence in the Nintendo Switch menus looks like the silence after a big loss for me... And it makes sense, at least for me. We lost Iwata, Reggie is not there anymore, Charles is not Voice Acting as Mario, the Nintendo we knew is not the same. It's another life phase, and we need to be grateful for the good things we have and had. People always talk about the Wii channels and i really like the themes too! I will miss so much Charles doing Mario voice, i wish i could met those great people, specially Charles, Reggie and Shigeru Miyamoto, may Satoru Iwata rest in peace.
though I miss the menu sound, and this is very nice, I think silence in ToTk is very purposeful. the addition of sound when it happens in game, is thematic. Maybe the next mayor scale Zelda game will be more traditional, at least in the musical sense.
For some reason, I thought this was gonna be a joke video with a bunch of weird sounds and sound affects. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it was actually legit! :D
Its almost like the old Great Fairy Fountain theme if It was weeping as if It wants to sound magical But turns out mischievous and mysterious with a slight tone of sorrow
Si pues, lamentablemente la pantalla del titulo no tiene un tema asi y tampoco el BOTW, es como insinuando que la mera imagen del juego simboliza muchisimo, cuando en realidad seria mas memorable por la musica de la pantalla del titulo que queremos. Actualmente lo estan minimalizando mucho todo, tanto que cada cosa pierde un poco el brillo.
@@adora_was_takenThat feels kind of like the point imo. Like uneasy whispers of an age forgotten being brought back to the present, revealing hidden horrors that leak into the normal (much like Gloom)
Classic example of Nintendo being Nintendo and not going with the obviously better choice. “There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation” when they know that’s all anyone really wants to see. 😳
I honestly don't get why Nintendo chose to keep the menu silent again, really hope it won't happen for the next Zelda game. Nice arrangement by the way!
Nah, even though it uses sounds from the main theme, it sounds very similar (in style) to any other souls main menu game. You did a great work tho, don't get me wrong; but I appreciate way more the original one
Ive been trying to actually get Title Screen music working with a Mod. If I eventually find a way to do that Im gonna use this! Only with your permission of course. My feedback on the music is: the chanting in the backround doesnt really fit the music.. So I thought you could time the little samples of the Gloom/Evil chanting in a way so it coordenates better with the music.
Reuploaded this one due to a small audio problem. Sounds much better now!
One issue still, it's too short.

Me neither. Zero sense.
Yea like imagine the wii with no menu music, that stuff is *iconic* and just adds so much charm
Because nowadays where everyone is a loudmouth yapper
Silence speaks volumes
and then there's mario odyssey
BAH BAH BAH BAH BAHBAH DADADADA DADADAH
@@Jay-zk4bb that literally means nothing lmao
i totally agree. It just feels awkward in the silence. Just like somebody is like
“Oh. Um. Yeah. Here’s the game…”
This is ✨ thematic ✨
Ikr, it's too quiet. Glad you liked it.

Definitely. Glad you enjoyed it!
More like botws menu screen is miles better - all that wasted potential in totks
@james441 Fym it's literally just a slideshow of BotW promo art
@@somedegenerate6622 that shows the game way better than boring totk wall depictions
@@somedegenerate6622so? The menu screen is something we’ve already seen in the beginning.
I like how u incorporated the fairy fountain theme that is very traditional for most zelda home screens but is so subtle that it fits the theme of totk and the zonai chanting
As a zelda nerd i appreciated the detail, great job!
Yeah, the zonai chant felt too perfect to not include. Glad you enjoyed it!
Imo, the silence worked on BotW's Title/Menu Screen but with TotK's menu being more dynamic, the silence makes less sense
Fair argument, I definitely see that.
that's because BotW's menu screen was boring
And then when you select a save, the piano does a flourish
That would be godly right there
wish this was real
I wish it were too.
Age of Calamity did the title screen pretty well
I never played, what was it like?
@@Amandaquran idk how to explain, but the music is a nice soft piano that transitions into the main theme when you boot up the game
@@NoahHalfSquid nice
@@NoahHalfSquid e
@@Amandaquranthere’s also different variations for when the calamity strikes and when you beat the game
I was about to say it'd be cool to see an eerie arrangement of the usual fairy fountain theme. And then, OHHH
pls create a perfect 10h loop, i NEED IT
lol. glad you liked it!
This fits the vibe so well! I wish this was actually in the game :')
I agree, also glad you liked it!
This is gorgeous , i miss the fairy fountain and the chime it plays when you hit select
I love this content music here and I’m not against if they add any, but whenever I finish the credits and I got sent back to the menu with no audio I almost cried
Same. Needs music.
If this was how it did sound, tbh I’d just put the menu on for a special occasion happening at my house without even playing it
"Why do I hear chanting?"
Adding the great fairy fountain is genius! This sounds so real.
God this is so soothing. It still sounds haunted, but now it's lulling and beautiful too
This fits so well.
I agree!
This is fantastic and very loopable which is what you need for a title theme that you could leave running for ages lol
Glad you enjoyed it!
I shall play this deliberately when I open the game and stare at the main menu. :)
Beautiful. The Fairy Fountain theme sounds so haunting and melancholy in minor. It’s a great tie-back to the older Zelda games as well. Nice work!
we need to mod this into the game
I agree.
This is so beautiful! Take notes, Nintendo.
Right? Take some serious notes nintendo lol
@Noahnillion19 BAHAHAAA I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT🤣🤣
I have been struggling these last years with a triple licence, in two weeks it will be over. Exactly a year ago I was living my worst, most awful time in these licences.

Botw is fantastic, also I'm a bit late, but best of luck on your finals!
This is soooo pretty. I wish it were longer
Personaly i would love to just have the heartbeat sound from the beginning
It's like the Zelda team was stretched too thin and ended up ignoring certain key aspects that usually give a Zelda game its identity.
They definitely forgot this one!
perfectly compliments the return of Home theme in our zelda homes.
its like the sounds are massaging my brain ahhh
I love that it sounds calming and scary at the same time. As if this is what death sounds like
I actually really like this, well done
This would have been one of the best game menus of all time if this music was in it
I think the title screen was perfect as is, but can understand why people would rather have some music to accompany it. 😊
It sounds very ominous, which fits the mood of the beginning of the game
It sounds like the Lower Brinstar theme from Super Metroid.
I think the menu music should change the more you progress in the game. At the start its just regular, silence and some weird noises to fuel the spooky and mysterious feeling the trailer gives, then the menu music gets more detailed and calming/fun with more features to add to the sense of "progression" in the game.

This suits the horror game that totk really is.
Those red hands will appear, and all you can do is wait.
Need a mod that adds this in for REAL
Agreed!
it's great! personally i miss the old intros from zelda, like the one in ocarina of time where you ride Epona at Dawn
It's so fitting, i love this! It confuses me how Nintendo just... doesn't do much music anymore-- At least, in this way
It would be really good to have a Menu Theme like this one im Tears of The Kingdom, fit's so well. I would even try to play that i'm my Piano, cause it looks like a reflexive music to listen for hours and sounds relaxing to play.

We should make this a mod for the loading screen

Hint of fairy, and some mystery...
For some reason, I thought this was gonna be a joke video with a bunch of weird sounds and sound affects. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it was actually legit! :D
both this and your botw version are fantastic and i really hope we can get main menu music back keep it up :)
Thanks, yeah I hope so too!
This is STUNNING
Its almost like the old Great Fairy Fountain theme if It was weeping as if It wants to sound magical But turns out mischievous and mysterious with a slight tone of sorrow
the silence was a great way to make you hold your breath before starting the game, but if it had to have a music I wouldn't have wanted anything else
We didn’t get any music, just like last time.
If you speed the video up to 1.25x it sounds more intense like it should be but it’s still great keep up the good work
This is perfect dude!
the first time i booted up the game, i thought it just didn't load the sound. even tried reinserting the game card lol
YES! This is so much better!
Remember the twilight princess file select music?
This is actually a banger?? I love it!
This was so relaxing listening to… good job! 👍🏻😊🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, glad you liked listening to it!
I really like what you did whit the music but I would prefer the chants more in the background but overall a great job
Hope someone can mod this in. This would be pretty sick.
this is fucking awesome, great work !!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This is beautiful

It would've been awesome if it changed once you finish the game, maybe turn into some artwork
ahh majora's vibe...
I never thought of this 😮
I do love this!
NINTENDO IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO UPDATE THE GAME I TELLS YA
Ooo this is good
The zonai voices didn't really suit the piano in the background.
Besides that this is a solid 9/10 menu theme.
glad you liked it!
The Zonai voices and the music don't mesh well, they feel too disharmonious, but besides that this sounds so refreshing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
yeah they just feel like they're not at the same tempo. but the vibes are immaculate
@@adora_was_takenThat feels kind of like the point imo. Like uneasy whispers of an age forgotten being brought back to the present, revealing hidden horrors that leak into the normal (much like Gloom)

This is perfect
What an amazing sound
Classic example of Nintendo being Nintendo and not going with the obviously better choice.
“There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation” when they know that’s all anyone really wants to see. 😳
I need a full version of this. And the music. (Not the chanting, the music) Pretty please?
glad you enjoyed it!
Its would be so cool omg
This is amazing. Is there a mod yet?
I honestly don't get why Nintendo chose to keep the menu silent again, really hope it won't happen for the next Zelda game. Nice arrangement by the way!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
@@CaptainGwil Popped up on my recommended again and I wanted to ask how did you make this? It sounds official
could make a mod out of this
Nintendo should’ve did something like this!
YES. YES!
Nah, even though it uses sounds from the main theme, it sounds very similar (in style) to any other souls main menu game. You did a great work tho, don't get me wrong; but I appreciate way more the original one
Agreed.
ITS SO GOOD wait is this fl studio? if so how did you get the distorting voices?
I layered the zonai chants from the game itself with a fairy fountain piano. Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t see a problem tbh you’re just going to click play anyway. Unless you just leave the title screen for hours and just never play?
It's creepy (a little bit) !!! I love it ! Totally what the game need !!! Why Nintendo stop the music in the menu since botw ?... ;_;
Ive been trying to actually get Title Screen music working with a Mod. If I eventually find a way to do that Im gonna use this! Only with your permission of course.

Sure! go on ahead. Also I might try and make another take on this at some point.
This is great
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
What base version of fairy's fountain did you used? I think I've never heard that version and it sounds interesting
It honestly makes me mad this isn't a part of the game
What's the piano music you used??? It sounds great!
gimmie the link to the fairy fountain song sounds cool
I agree with this
Same. Glad you liked it!
It's nice but... Feels unnecessary.
Can you do a version without the backwards noises please?🥺
interesting
Do you think it’d be possible to make a mod for pc with this?
Probably possible.
There a ful;l version of this?
Unfortunately, not atm.
Sounds good but doesn't help fix the game itself.
