    I remember coming here for the first time, it felt like the only place in the game that was safe / comforting. Like a sanctuary from the rest of the game.

      Yup, until you look down and realize the clock is still ticking. There is even a cucco right there just to sing a reminder of your coming doom every morning. But never fear, at least the clock tower is still safe. Just ignore the supernatural entity disguising as a mask fetish maniac looking at you with an eerie grin.

    Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask completed each other so nicely, I think...while one was fantastical, the other was mysterious. While one was a story of courage and strength, the other was a story of fragility and sorrow. While one was about the past and the future, the other was about the impeding doom of the present. This song takes me into that kind of world.

      OoT - Hope
      MM - Despair
      Under the mask of YAY, ADVENTURE! lay the true nature of being a hero, of the sadness an innocent boy has to carry after knowing and losing so much in his journey to save hyrule. Despite its overall bright adventurous tone, OoT is actually a very sad game on its own, but since the game doesn't dwell on the sadness, chances are neither will you. Majora's Mask was the true unveiling of sorts, showing how the events from the previous game changed and effected Link. Poor kid really got screwed over for his heroism 😭😭

The story of sadness and sorrow but being able to free people's spirits knowing there happy and greatful for that... Wow that was kinda cheesy but I mean it is a beautiful game, a master piece that will be there in the history of games.

    I love how the astronomer is the only person in this place who realizes there is really nothing he can do, except wait there and just accept what is going to happen. He just wants to make all the children happy before they die. This proves more of how this game just defines what perfection is in a game.

    Shikashi was a lonely man. Since he was a child, he loved the moon, thus he built an observatory.
    He liked the kids in the city and allowed them to play and get together in the observatory.
    He knew the moon was going to crash into Termina, but understood it was futile to escape, as their fates were sealed.
    He saved that fact to the kid so they wouldnt be afraid of their fate, enjoying their last days to the fullest.
    The last day, in the last hours, he was happy with his life and with everything that was given to him.
    THAT'S the story to this song.

    My late brother used to really like this game. I remember him playing it on a long road trip way back when, where the N64 and TV were hooked to a power converter in the cigarette lighter.
    Apparently my parents had a star named after him when he was born, with a certificate though I've never seen it, and you know those things were kind of scammy.
    But hearing this song makes me want to look into the stars and hope I find his soul somewhere adrift amongst them.

    When I was a kid, my father took me out one night to show me the shooting stars in our garden. I never saw a real shooting star before in my life. An there were dozends of them flying through the sky.
    I sat in my deck chair wrapped a blanket, with my cat sleeping next to me. My father sat at the gardentable with a lamp and read a book. We just watched them, occasionally talked, but just sat there silently for most of the time.
    That was years ago on a night at the end of August.
    My cat died a few years ago and my father wil retire in a few years.
    It kinda makes me sad, that time flies by so quickly, and that I will never go back in time to that night.

    Majora's Mask is a game about opposites and about life. Life and Mortality (what do you do with borrowed time?), Hope and Sorrow, Grievance and Acceptance, and True Friendship and Power/Control, Childhood Innocence and Adult Cynicism. Man, and this soundtrack conveys so many emotions to me as a result.

    I've always loved music without lyrics because each song can represent something so different to each person... telling a billion of different stories, each one so unique and beautiful to every individual.
    To me, it tells of a kid without a father and a very sick mother, A kid who did not know how to talk to other people and spent most of his time walking alone, day dreaming about being a hero.
    Man... so much nostalgia, I wonder what other stories this song tells about.

    I was only 3 years old when this game was released. I never had an n64, my first console was a gamecube. I was too young to comprehend mm, I often wish I was born earlier to experiance it in its prime. But that's what I love about video games, books and movies, they're not just for the now, but for future generations as well.
    MM is one of the few games that can be hailed as a work of art, along with shadow of the colossus and a few others.
    I can only hope Zelda U follows MM's legacy, there are no fantasy worlds like it, it is completely unique, it is The Legend of Zelda.
    The amount of nostalgia flowing from these videos is so staggering, that even I, who has never experienced this game in the past, can feel it.
    Nintendo keep doing what you're doing. You will always be my favorite.

    This song fills me with so many emotions. As a kid, I found a comfort in listening to it, but also a sadness. I had no idea back then, but as an adult the song is now clearer to me. These days, I long for a time that can no longer be... my childhood. When I heard this song as a child I knew, deep down, that the song was about accepting the fate of Termina. The song is about regret, sadness and longing for the present to remain as it is, but also the realisation that it cannot remain as it is. When I listen to this song now, I find myself reminiscing for the past, but also remembering how I felt when I heard it all those years ago. The difference is that I now long for my childhood years once more, but back then I feel I understood the emotions Link must have felt not only for Termina but also perhaps for his own past in Hyrule. Whatever the truth, we can all agree this is a beautiful song I'm sure. :)

    This song has a weird, disoriented feeling created by the polyrhythm going on. While the harpsichord plays very quickly and softly in the background, the song is dominated by a stronger yet much slower piano progression, while the choir voice, setting the whole landscape for the song, is going at yet an even slower pace. All these odd rhythmic dynamics put together makes for a song that sounds almost like the stars circling around the Earth at all their different speeds and distances. Beautiful.

    So cleverly composed. Every part of the instrumentation suits the theme. The harpsichord gives a Renaissance astronomer vibe. The chimey sounds in the background are very twinkly, echoing as coming from the deep cosmos, creating an air of mystery. The vocals add a sense of awe and grandeur of the heavens.
    The 11th chord at 0:12 gives me chills. So well done.

I need something more than just a memory of that feeling... That sense of whimsicality, fascination and curiosity... Becoming completely immersed in the world you're playing in... I long for that feeling just once more... So that I may hold on tight to what it felt like, having that childlike sense of wonder that drove my imagination and myself to just play.

    I haven't played the game, but I find myself listening to this song all day whenever I feel down. It always reminds me to keep going. Thank you.

    I got mesmerized the first time I played this game and heard this song.. that was one of those moments where I realized this franchise means so much more than just being games

      Just wanted to say that this comment really resonated with me. Guess I just put on this song and saw your comment at the exact right times.

    I could in all honesty have this on for 10 hours straight.
    Even if it is just in the background.
    Such a beautifully calming piece of music.
    Haunting, wonderous, reflective, tinged with hope.

    There were times I would come to this place and wish I could insert myself into the game and just literally hang there. Such comforting music and setting. Thank you Nintendo!

    One of those song that could play over and over again and never grow old. In spite of the years that went by, this is always that safe place to call home.

    If you're ever out in the middle of nowhere with a good view for looking up at the stars, I highly recommend putting this on.
    I love the uninterrupted sounds of nature, but this is just the perfect accompaniment. The composer really nailed it

    This song has always made me afraid of something supposed to be inevitable, something that could end everything overnight. It made me want to enjoy every second as if it were my last, accepting my destiny. Fear... of time.

    this song sounds like if a person were to walk into a place to see absolute beauty only to figure out that the end is near.

    If nostalgia was a song, this would be it. It kinda brings all those feelings together, a positive mood that you associate with great past memories, something you gladly remember and think back to, yet also miss and wish you could get back the way it was.

      hello, I'm from Brazil, this song really brings deep feelings, when I listen to it, a flashback comes in my head of a destroyed past, but at the same time it brings a feeling of hope, mystery and something imaginable, well, then I remember what this could be the best story ever.

    there is always two types of people, the kind that play games and the ones that live games like it was another life. ugh, it gets so tearful whenever the game is finished and done, knowing that in the end the story will never been continued. this song always gets me though, it reminds me of the countless hours spent playing games, but In the end we either leave or finish the game or story, and move onto the next. Majors mask has su ch a big impact on me. continue crying with me peeps :,)

      It feels so bad finishing a game that you lived, enjoyed, played, sometimes you got sad, and sometimes you got happy, yep, its sad

      The beauty of this game is that you can just star all over again and you can re-live the adventure with a different path...
      I've done so many variants that at some points I felt trap in there... hehe, how ironic.

    When my cousin gave me his n64 and all his games, I played this game first. I knew what it was because I loved the other Zelda games. I never knew anything about this game until I played it. Once I found out how to get here I just sat. Thinking that this was the best game in eternity.

    this music is the balance to the universe. No responsibility no work no second job no work no play no bills no weird boyfriend and no awkward girlfriend no taking the dogs out just listening to Majora's mask and Zelda and this music. This music is the balance to the universe. Right here

    This song in particular makes me wish I was born way earlier than I was, so that I would get to experience the magic of mm as a kid. I just know little me would have loved and cherished this song just as much as I do now. I absolutely love MM, it’s my favorite game of all time, and this is definitely my favorite TLoZ track I’ve listened to so far. It’s like…a comforting sadness. A sad sound, but not in a sad way. A perfect track, in my opinion.

    This game envelopped me more than any other. I started playing very recently and didn't play very far at all, but the world, the setting, it's all so magical. I never thought a video game could immerse me so much. It's far from my favorite game, the gameplay aspect isn't very fascinating for me, but the world and story... Pure genius.
