Looking back on it now, it’s kinda cathartic
‘The world will never change, it will only turn’
Things still all this time later have barely changed. Once again Ganon threatens the land. And once again, Molgera gets remade to guard another wind temple. It came back to the same spot.
Colgera was born.
You know what mate. You got a point.
I like to believe that Colgera is the reincarnation of Molgera after it was defeated in WW's wind temple.
That's one of the great poetic truths of history. The times may change, but the people in them do not (for better and worse)
And they both use
"Conqueror worm" in the lyrics
But this time they were rito born to fly, that helped kill colgera.
The lyrics in this song makes the whole Zelda series depressing when you think about it because you can never truly win.
You will always win the battle but never the war
If you win every battle you’ve basically already won
A hero must win every time, a villain need only win once.
"The world will never change, it will only turn." DAMN that's a badass lyric.
It's ominous and hopeless! And delightfully so! It indulges despair long enough get you to ponder it, but it keeps it brief enough to register quickly. So much packed into it, it's badass and masterful!
I love the mix of male and female voices
THE CONQUER WORM!
@@WillyLongLegs IT WRITHES WITH MORTAL PANGS, DEVOURS WITH VERMIN FANGS
@@filkoske6139 AND IN THE KINGDOMS BLOOD IS IMBUED
Look at the bottom of Molgera's lip things. There is a pattern that resembles eyes. This pattern is common in nature, and by far the most common purpose is to scare away predators. Based on the positioning, it seems to be most effective at warding off threats at a lower altitude. Seeing as how Molgera can fly and can burrow in sand, it most likely existed in the desert, this means that something from the desert and lived either above and/or below ground was the main threat. The first thing that comes to mind are Mulduga, but I don't think they existed at the time. He is the boss of the wind temple, so maybe they flew by catching the wind and they burrowed in the sand of beaches. There are a lot more things that could pose a threat. But then there's the obvious size problem. Or maybe he was just a monster created by Ganondorf to keep the wind safe sealed idk. Also I don't really know where else to put this but Molgera vaguely resembles the wind waker.
perhaps they're a remnant of younger years when it was smaller
Or it’s just a random design quirk in a fantasy game you’re overthinking.
@@frog4307 all the same; it's fun to overthink things from time to time, identify the little details and inconsistencies of things.
What about the skeleton boss from Twilight Princess, the one you fight with the Spinner? What if that's the type of creature that preys on Molgera?
@@MegaGeewee could be, TP and WW are closer in time then WW and BOTW are, so thats a very possible explanation
Clearly, Zelda monsters have their own opinions about the eternal cycle of destruction and rebuilding Hyrule is trapped in thanks to one incredibly poor loser. Also, enjoying the references to the Edgar Allen Poe poem Conqueror Worm. It fits.
*looks up the poem*
HOW DID THEY MAKE THE LYRICS MATCH THE POE(M) SO WELL?
@@jacobwilson7754 nice one!
@Gideon van Zyl from what i gathered. It’s about how no matter what happens, the bloodshed that humanity shall impart on itself. The worm will outlast us. When we blow each other apart and reduce ourselves to dust. Nothing but food for worms. The worm will outlast us all… the true conquerer.
At least that’s what I got and I’m probably wrong.
It’s interesting to think about how _frustrating_ the cycle of the Triforce must look like from the Ancients’ perspectives, seeing these three immensely powerful, wise, and courageous souls repeat the same pattern over and over and _over_ again across the ages, never once deviating.
Molgera here, for all he obviously reveres Ganondorf as his master, seems to low-key lump him in with Zelda and Link as more or less forces of the world rather than living, thinking people.
@@nathanielburkett9400
For what it’s worth, this is actually the same cycle Ganon himself desires to be free of, the very cycle he rages against the heavens for. That they would rather destroy their own people than to break the cycle themselves.
It’s the reason that when he finally dies, he dies with a smile: at last, he can rest, no longer dragged along as a puppet in a divine comedy
Moldorm, Twinmold, Molgera, and now Molduga.
The Moldorm family has evolved quite magnificently.
Dont forget molduking
Molduking IS a molduga
@@WillyLongLegs it's an upgrade
Giant sand worms is my favorite gender
And with Colgera joining in, the worms continue to grow.
Molgera is actually terrifying to think about. If it's that deadly in a room full of sand, imagine what would happen if it got to the sea.
Considering it came from a “land of fire and sand” water would probably be bad for it
Imagine if it was in a desert,
you would never be able to find it unless it found you first

BREAKING NEWS: Local sand worm obtains voice of an angel!
...More details at 11.

@@Manlikegibbon we expect some light rain followed by sunlight for the rest of the day. now back to the worm with the voice of an angel, the one guy called meron.
The worm have entered New York and is singing while devour everyone,more details at-
His secret? A little bit of Triforce magic!
I've always thought of bosses with the "Mol" prefix as THE definitive minor boss of the Zelda series. They may not have major roles in the story, but you can't deny that they appear more often than any other boss. In essence, Moldorm/Molgera/Molduking is the Petey Piranha to Ganon's Bowser, and for that they will always hold a special place in my heart.
Actually in most games moldorm is called in jaoan as tail
Also Twinmold, although that's not a prefix.
But now, we have Colgera... so...
@@iamsiley we still have molduga as well.
@@iamsiley that's col, not mol
I love that little distort behind the singing voice--it kind of explains exactly HOW a giant flying sandworm with freaky flapping jaws would "sing" this. It's actual voice is the distortion sounds, but the singing is probably some kind of telepathy that's translating it to something Link could understand. It totally makes sense!
Now I want the LoZ to have a boss that sings like this as it attacks, giving backstory to the player (and Link), and maybe indirectly reminding them how high the stakes are during the adventure. That'd be pretty freaking cool!
Yes.
YES.
YES!
I need this in an actual Zelda game! Imagine if this happens in BOTW 2…
And make it like Billie Bust Up, where each lyric references the attack they're doing
that's a real nice touch at the end, instead of Molgera saying "The wind through the flowers" it's the minions saying that because he's dead.
I only wish that they repeated it an additional two more times at the end. Was waiting for it.
Actually, in the 'Behind the Lyrics' video for the Musical Bytes: Zelda series, Alex Beckham says that the chorus is comprised of the ghosts of Koroks.
@@knightofarkronia8652 wait really? That's so cool!

@Giel de Beer makes sense, WW and BotW are hundreds of years apart I think
I like how the use of "Phantoms" serves a dual purpose in terms of references. Not only is it a reference to Conqueror Worm, like many of this song's lyrics, it also references the fact that Phantom Ganon is one of Windwaker's main bosses. The same goes for references to puppets, as this game also has Puppet Ganon, which, unlike Phantom Ganon, is unique to Windwaker.
No one:

Wow, that is seriously fitting. Should have named my Sandaconda Molgera
All I can imagine is Molduga with his grandpa molgera watching Urbosa get shredded by ThunderBlight, eating popcorn.
"So, how you doing, pops?"
"Good. It's nice to stay at your place for a bit, those Islands were getting a bit cramped."
just realized this series is a spiritual successor to Brentalfloss's "With Lyrics"
what a time to enjoy both music and video games
300-I.Q. Prower that nostalgia hit me like a train
Song: Starts
Me: starts dancing
You can't say that your start dancing under a zelda song without letting me remember the dancing redeads from mm. Now I have to imagine them singing this everytime I see them,...
And the correctness goes to…. Sickle playz
And cae…
Come listen to the tale we tell tonight
The *Princess* with the goddess blood and her *Knight*
For all through history they always seem to be
The ones who stand and fight for the *Light*
Their *Wisdom* and their *Courage* always seemed so divine
They lack the will to see how brightly *Power* shines
We watched the kingdom fall
The water drown them all
And pulled the Kingdom into the brine
Jesus that's a chillingly awesome way to open a song.
The Legend of Zelda story explained.
This song is something else, man. Reminds me of Bloody Tears. Much of it happens when fighting the Hero of Winds, telling of the repeated cycle of victory and failure Link, Zelda, and Ganon share through their incarnations. However, the second verse speaks of the Hero failing to strike Ganon down. This seems a lot like he's singing to the Hero of the Wild. But in reality, he's still talking to the Hero of Winds. He's not the same as Molduga, but Molgera, much like Ganon, will find a way to torment the hero throughout the ages.
But why would he mention the failure to the Hero of Winds? Well, think about how Wind Waker starts out. It starts with the Hero failing to appear upon Ganon's return, and the world being drowned to keep him at bay. History repeats itself, after all, and will never fail to repeat itself. Someday down the line, Ganon will win again, and thus will the worm king return as well, in yet another form.
And he did.
To be entirely fair to OOT Link, this was the first time Ganon specifically appeared, and that whole timeline split always brings up the question of "where did the Link from that timeline go, and did Ganon somehow consume his soul so that he couldn't reincarnate anymore?" Because otherwise a new Link, blessed by some new gods, would have appeared when Ganon resurfaced since that was the letter of Demise's curse.
I could have sworn it was meant for WindWaker link really since it's the debut game.
@@theendersmirk5851 Ganon's first appearence, but not Link/Zelda.
Ganon is just reincarnated Demise.
@@theendersmirk5851 Here's the thing. The Adult Timeline Link left behind was following the events of what occurred in the Child Timeline. So in the Child Timeline, where he prevented Ganondorf's plan from working, he left in search of Navi. This just leaves the Adult Timeline without a Link, because Link's presence only came from Child Link having time traveled there. So when Ganondorf returned, there was no Link who could appear, because either his reincarnation speeds up and makes him born during that time, which leaves him as a defenseless baby, or he doesn't show up at all due to the other Link continuing to live on elsewhere. So the Goddesses could only flood Hyrule to set Ganondorf back.
@@justinalicea1590 But where did the link originating from that timeline go? That was my question.
I JUST NOTICED THIS
Urbosa and molgera share *flowers*
Daruk and molgera share *power*

Revali and molgera share *wind*
*Molgera shares at least one thing with every champion*
so that’s why its powerful af

Maybe this thing hid or in this case ATE the champions body’s.

You can tell Alex likes a song when it plays into the end card
So we just had 4 of hyrules best singing such great songs then this random worm comes right outta left field with a voice of a god sure at this point I give up you SING IT WORM
He comes from the land, spits Fire and Sand, he’s taken these bars into his hands
He may be a sand worm, but he’s spittin straight fire
I mean he did come from the land of Fire and Sand sooo
@owenbridgers8548 hold on I wanna make this a thing
Ahem,
BRO CAME FROM THE LAND OF FIRE AND SAND‼️‼️‼️❗️‼️❗️‼️❕️❗️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️
how can a song account a giant flying worm that eats everything sounds so poetic and bad ass?
oh right, it’s zelda
I hope we'll get a Colgera with lyrics from ToTK at some point
Zelda TOTK Bytes bonus track
Well wouldn’t you know it.
Wish granted
It’s so nice to compare how far you’ve come with a remake. I loved the old video and now it’s even better!
If anyone wants to use this for a dragon, just replace worm in the chorus with Wyrm, a word of dragon. That way you could use this for The Ender Dragon, Ghidorah, or The Screaming Death
Or Rathalos.
That's three fandoms I'm in.
Does Giratina counters a dragon?
@@davidmckenzie9086 Technically yes. Ghost/Dragon type
And replace a few other words
Now watching more of the video instead of listening, I'm seeing there's more about Molgera reminiscent of Morpheel. Not only is it's intro movements in the air very similar to Morpheel's Final Stage, but it also has the phase of using the grapple hook of that game to grapple a weak point inside a tentacle.
It reminds me of that annoyance too.
I got those vibes first time i fought morpheel bc i played wind waker far before twilight princess, probably used the same movrment engine/code for both
Bit of a stretch considering morpheel is already a reference to morpha
I get Molgera vibes when I fight a molduga
I remember when I first became a fan of this channel I listened to the original a lot because I liked it so much, so seeing it redone at the end of Zelda Musical Bytes was honestly one of the greatest surprises ever, Thank You Moti:)
I’ve been listening to this song repeatedly, because it’s really good. I also had fun actually looking up The Conqueror Worm and matching the lyrics of this to the poem. The ways in which you incorporated them was really clever.
This song is truly amazing. It tealy does give you the molgeras opinion about the events of the game its just truly a piece of art
Man, this song is a real earworm.
Wait...
No, its a sandworm
Completely different
Low key disappointed that song of storms wasn’t in the Musical Bytes. Would have fit as Links song. Or maybe Zeldas lullaby to represent Zelda
I figured they would do zelda malady but this works just fine and is a nice remastered version of this song. However you could say he is singing the tradedgy of hyrule and the repeating cycle and referring to calamity ganon so it still kind of fits
Jake, he actually did make a Song of Storms a bit back and it's quite pleasant. I'd suggest checking it out if you were looking forward to one in this package.
Futurium I think he meant a remaster. He made this one before, too.
Jake N. Arthur Isn't this song just a nice addition? And besides, wasn't this the Breath of the Wild Musical Bytes?
Hyrules main theme can be links him singing through the best hyrule castle song would be bomb af.
I'm sorry but how did I only find this just NOW ? Thanks for this song I am addicted !!
Same
When I saw this pop up in the Zelda bytes compilation, my mind did backflips in excitement!
The chorus is mesmerizing.
Who came back to this after having heard the colgera theme?
Me
My introduction to your channel and one of my favorite covers of this song thank you so much!!!!
"Knight of the Wind"
Hold up-
What’s the problem here, Molgera first appeared in Wind Waker
MegaLegoLuigiEX
Oh oooooooooooo
I’m an knight of the wind.
I dont het the problem?
@@finnvaneekelen7740 there's no problem, they're referring to the song Knight of the Wind from that one sonic game. MOTI did a cover of it if I remember correctly.
@@Forest-hf9bn they did. Here. ua-cam.com/video/qzu1WgxYb_w/v-deo.html
I immediately want to play hyrule warriors.
I wanna either play Wind Waker or finish that drawing I’m making of Toon Link fighting Molgera
Finish that drawing man!
Data Master the hyrule warriors remixes are about taking belived tracks and cranking them to 11 for the full scale war that’s taking place.
Yeah but... If you wanna play stage with this song (wind and earth temples) you must finish another 31 scenario before...
ALC 3333 you assume i dont already have this game. And that i dont enjoy its repetitive game play. AND THAT THE REST OF THE SOUNDTRACK ISNT AWSOME!!
But yes if i play hyrule warriors again it will be on my switch
I have a question: who's the one doing that low, growling voice in the chorus? Alex (now without typo)? Steel?
It sounds like Steel
Is it just me or was sans in the chorus
@@jonasturman6953 Yeah Steel is part of the chorus for this song.
@@elmina9403 cool thx
Steel has an impressively low singing voice
I love the duality that it's an incredibly powerful boss, but it's theme just makes you want to smile and dance, despite the tone of these lyrics.
This was my favorite before you added the lyrics
AND NOW IT IS MY FAVORITE BOSS THEME EVER FOR NOW!!
1 day earlier: complete package
Yesterday: new Zelda song
That's how the musical bytes work.We get 4 songs,then a complete package with a bonus song.Then,that bonus song releases as a normal video.
This has always been a favorite Zelda song, so seeing the original was both surprising and amazing. But now? Seeing it redone was (to me at least) both an amazing testament to how far you guys have come, and an amazing way to start my day! Keep up the good work guys!
I love it thank u for remaking this song it sounds so good and your voice it’s so good when it’s put with this song
I love this song. I love the MOTI version. But I didn't know I needed a remaster so much!
I would buy a whole music album from Alex Beckham’s Molgera.
We now have Colgera
so does anyone else remember the original?
edit: this is honestly the fastest ive gained replies and likes ever :o (i just realized this sort of edit is done a lot so why did i do it? i dunno i got nothing else)
Pearl X me!
Replies: allow us to introduce ourselves
Yes
Yes
Another yes
We need Molgera Musical Bytes.
Just read the poem the lyrics were semi-based on, and HOLY BALLS, nice job putting the poem to Molgera's kick-butt theme! Man on the Internet just musically outshining all. I swear, this dude's more like God of the Internet lmao, this guy makes such amazing songs!! I just wish I knew the guy, he seems like he's probably just an awesome guy through-and-through.
If I may suggest a song, how about Zant's battle theme? [You know, if you're a masoschist lol, that'd be hard to lyric-ify.]
More seriously though, I might find some kick-butt songs to toss your way as suggestions, probably in the replies to this comment, if I can keep track of it. And given that, if you see this, you read everything, thanks for reading! It means a lot for a big-name creator to notice a comment, ya know? :3
This is probably my favourite of MOTI's covers.
this is amazing!!!!!!! Ive always thought something was missing from this theme.
Molgera is my favorite boss theme you totally nailed this it’s all I’ve ever wanted!
HOLY CRAP! im totally in love with the original musik from that boss, BUT THIS MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!!!
THANK YOU FOR THAT PIECE OF MASTERWORK😍
You just gave me nostalgia, thank you.
I would've never expected guys to remaster one of your songs and I love the result
This song is so catchy this is the third time I've listened to it
Edit: now 20 times lol
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta get em higher
i agree im on 16 watches a day
Mostly every MotI song for me.
If I like it I loop it at *least* 20 times a day
All of you are weak. I play this on loop all day.
I’ve done more than 40
how did you know I loved Molgera? Beautiful job as always!
I appreciate the effort in the BOTW fight to make it as similar to the Molgera fight as possible and not climbing on the rocks to cheese the hell out of it.
To paraphrase a certain someone from a certain recent game who I can't help but see having a philosophy similar to this interpretation of Molgera,
*You are in the dunes of a desert.*
I like to imagine that he swallowed a bard.
So he did manage to eat link in the end.
@@kopfloserbeginn3879 I hate that you're right about him being a bard
@@kopfloserbeginn3879 Actually, i was implying that he swallowed Kass, and that Kass' teacher was Edgar Allan Poe.
@@nyssabrown2880 i now headcanon that his first bars teacher which got him into music is named edgar allan crow
MAN THIS SONG IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Truly tense and upbeating for 2020! Talley-Ho!
I may of never played a Zelda game, but I like this song a lot! I think this one was my favorite out of the whole package. Great job!
Edit: I would love a 1 hour version of this song!
I love this, especially how layered it is.
when he says the time you lost your memories thats either referring to botw or how each link is a different person and thus have different memories
"The world will never change. It will only turb." Thats deep
Just when I thought your original cover couldn't get any better, you go and add gameplay footage and the best chorus on the internet. Happy New Year, Alex! Here's to another year of good health, happiness, and awesome lyrical adaptations of songs from video games.
The vocal with this music is really amazing!!
This might be my new favorite song you’ve made lyrics for.
That was amazing! Now to see if you have more where that came from.
The world will never change it will only turn
The old remix, now born anew with this. Said by you yourself, this was your favorite song to do. I agree on terms here.
The world will never CHANGE, it will only turn
(now say good bye to the light, Goodbye the hero of our time!)
Colgera be like: aight where mine at?
SO GOOD!!! JUST WOW!!!!
My favorite Wind Waker boss theme + lyrics? Hell yes! I loved this! :D
Since my English class, this has been in my head!
I love how the at some points the backing vocals can make similar walls of sound to ASGORE/Bergentrükung
This voice is identically the same as dark pit's voice from this music
That is the voice of Alex that is gracing your ears
Alex’s voice is a voice of a angel
... Just noticed it, and that is another one of my favorites.... What is it with me and bad guys?
Mettaton
@Giel de Beer He is an antagonist though
i really liked that new version, it brings a new air to the old version, but you can still remenber it
You don't understand how happy I am right now
This is a very underrated song, it’s amazing
This one never gets old!
I didn't realize the song was from Molgera's POV until I saw the comment section.
All stupidity aside though, this is a good rendition, and I love the use of Edgar Allen Poe's works for this.
I don’t know what to say. It’s always wonderful ^^ a good song to begin this year :3
Awesome Video And Song!
This needs a one hour version!
WOOOOOOOO
Good god that chorus is euphoric.
best song in zelda musical bytes by far
Windwaker was always my favorite game and seeing my favorite boss get lyrics to their theme is just beautiful. 10/10. Time to loop all day.
love this
So this got me to read the poem the song took some of the lyrics from. Damn, it's good.
Hello from 2024 Colgera’s theme is out and it is 100/10
Man on the Internet making OSTs 1000+ times better. Grimm and this make me happy on the everyside
That. Was. EPIC.
