    Hey guys - sorry for the reupload. UA-cam had a big hiccup on Friday, which meant many of you weren't notified about this video. Hopefully this took care of it. Cheers!

    Maybe adds to why a lot of people find Ocarina of Time to feel somewhat personal or for feeling a deeper connection to the game. Subconsciously we have already heard the music from our most treasured childhood games and the feeling of familiarity is like meeting an old friend again. For me, Ocarina of Time will forever be the greatest adventure i have experienced in gaming.

    @Savii-Jo 5 років тому

    2 things : I think the whistle was a type of foreshadowing from developers with the fact that loz oot uses the ocarina being a musical warp just like the use in Mario which was a very intricate build upon and secondly I thing that Koji Kondo took these songs and built upon each and separated them being so that when they each overlay like in the video they become one full melodic tune. Just like how they may have been original orchestrated.

  • @DaveysCards

    Holy sht.
    At 1:12 . I played Yoshi's Island first (since I was too young to have an N64B back in the early 2000s). Fast forward this 2018, I am playing OOT 3D, and somehow felt a familiarity when that guy taught me the Song of Storms.
    Also at 5:55 , played the super mario 64 ds remake, also felt weird when Ingo started racing with me on that music.

  • @ljthefro
    @ljthefro 5 років тому

    I’m not super musically inclined, so am not too sure on this... but when I heard #4, I thought both of them had a very similar melody to the melody in the “bonus game” track from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. The bonus game music has similar instrumentation to the Super Mario 64 boo merry go round, but is a bit more sped up and less ominous.
