If I could wipe my memory of a few select events, besides the fucked up things I've seen/heard, I would also forget this game's story, so I could experience the twists and turns of the plot all over again.
@@acousticfoam4184 man, 20 years ago, I plugged my GameCube for the first time and played this game, no idea what to expect, only did a link to the past on gba... I want to relive that.
When I heard it on the title screen, I thought this song was catchy. When I realized the Earth God's Lyric was the first part, I was impressed. When I realized the Wind God's Aria was the second part, I was blown away. By the time they reunited, along with the ocean theme, Zelda's Lullaby, and Aryll's theme to form the credits, I had tears in my eyes. This game... this game was a *journey,* man.
also, aryll's theme perfectly matches with zelda's lullaby, paralleling how aryll is mistaken for zelda. and the great sea theme similarly lines up with and compliments the classic zelda overworld theme
This game was my introduction to the Zelda Franchise. Yea i may like Skyward Sword and Botw/TotK, but Wind Waker will always get to my heart. Specially this Staff Credits
Well, there was a lot to hate about it from the ocean segments being entirely too empty and long, the infamously bad triforce quest, and the annoying stealth bit in the first dungeon. It's more a shame that people at the time really only hated it for cursory things like the visual style, rather than issues at the core of the game. Made Nintendo piss scared to try anything new for a while. Wind Waker is my favorite 3D Zelda by the way. Don't want it to seem like I'm bashing it.
RayLedgend you were supposed to be exploring throughout the game rather than trying to finish the game as fast as possible for whatever stupid reason. when i got to the so called "horrific triforce hunt" i only had like 3 to go. if you had been playing the game the way that they intended you to play it, you wouldnt have a problem with the ocean "segments" or the triforce hunt.
00thisisnotreal00 What's with your tone? You don't have to come off as so defensive over a video game. Jeez. So, are we even talking about the same version here? I'm talking about the Gamecube original, where I don't care how much exploring you did, practically no one would have made significant progress on the triforce quest before it was mandatory. I'll have you know I was always exploring, despite your rude assumptions otherwise, and going to new places when I played. The thing of it is, exploring is one thing, then there's grinding for Rupees to get the triforce maps from Tingle over and over. If grinding for obscene amounts of cash is 'the way they intended' me to play throughout the entire game, then it's still shit game design. Also, I'm sorry, but the ocean really was poorly designed. Big, sprawling . . . and practically empty. Nothing to do, practically nothing to see, and it takes several minutes to get to where you're going. It's boring and lifeless.
RayLedgend first of all, how can you tell my tone when youre just reading my comment. and yes, we are talking about the gamecube version. i havent even played the wii u version yet. I DID complete much of the triforce quest before it was mandatory. the reason i assumed that you hadn't been exploring was because you referred to the great sea as "ocean segments" implying that you just use the sea to get from A to B. the ocean wasnt poorly designed at all. there are 49 MAIN islands, and it takes all of 3 seconds to get to any given one considering you can WARP after you get the bow in the 3rd dungeon., and lifeless? no. not at all. the atmosphere was amazing on the ocean
00thisisnotreal00 I know you can warp, bud. I beat that game like 3 times. But come on, there's practically nothing in that ocean. That's what I meant by lifeless. The entire game oozes atmosphere, the ocean included, but on a gameplay level it's completely devoid of activity. Even those islands you bring up are still barren. There's like a treasure to find or something. Almost none of them are a meaningful distraction. The warp points are helpful, but you could still potentially have minutes of travel to get where you need to go. I say all of this as a huge fan of Wind Waker. Like I said, it's my favorite 3D Zelda, but even though I love it, I'm not blind to its flaws. I love it despite its issues, not because I refuse to see them.
The Gamecube and Wind Waker was the last thing my father bought me and my brothers. I was 8 at the time. Its been 20 years since he passed. I remember hearing this for the first time and crying till couldn't cry anymore tears. It was such a jubilant game in such a dark time in my life. My father played Zelda since it first released in '86. My first memory was being sat up by a pillow watching him teach my older brother how to beat the first 2 Zelda games. The farewell of King Daphnes reminded me of my father. I miss him so much... Me and my brothers still play Zelda games to this day, its what reminds us of him the most...
Reminds me of when my father helped my twin brother and I during some parts of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. He disliked video games, but wouldn't mind the puzzle solving. Lost him 5 years ago and there will always be something missing with him no longer physically with us. I'm just glad we got to spend time together.
I'm 18 years old, have played the game about a dozen times, and I STILL can't go through the whole thing without choking up. The writing and the music really stir up emotion.
First time beating it, I didn't cry because I couldn't understand losing someone close to you like that, I was 8. Second time around, I was 11 and I cried. I still cry whenever I see that scene.
@@Lashteen I totally agree and you now what makes this ending more emotion then all the others in a certain event way that is it’s not only that you lost people on the way like the king and that ganondorf could not just let go of his ambitions NO! it’s that THIS GAME IS THE FINAL PROPER EPILOGUE ENDING TO OCARINA OF TIME EVENT aka ADULT TIMELINE and you just made a new era and future by leaving Ocarina of time behind if that doesn’t make you cry 😢 I don’t know WTF does.
This song isn't just a great ending song, it symbolizes the end of an era. Hyrule, the golden kingdom was forever sealed away, never to have footprints grace it's grounds again. This song was a farewell to Hyrule and the legacy it carried.
true but it is also representative of the story in how no matter how much despair there is, as long as you carry hope to the future and don't let yourself be tied by the past there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow to come so long as we have the courage to look for it.
This is just a genius interpretation and the best I've seen so far, considering Link and Tetra have a brand new hope of reconstructing a new Hyrule after saying farewell to the lands of old...Zelda games are just gems of storytelling and world building I swear
2:05 this is the exact moment in which Nintendo tells you "you were always sailing away, this whole story was not about retrieving a bright past, but providing a new future for you and the ones who survived". One of the best moment in videogame history.
I know it’s 5 years later, but the way you worded it was beautiful. They sank hyrule beneath the ocean for forever, forgetting the past and heading straight I to the future with the rest of the world behind you. You got everything you had before, except now you’re more experienced. You’ve faced the doubt and treachery of the world, and still pushed through. Nothing can stop you now that you e faced everything.
This song represented the end of the best journey of my childhood... I used to cry when I listened to it, yet now with Iwata's death... It becomes even harder not to cry. RIP Iwata - Thank you for making the greatest part of my childhood.
Man, it took from when I was 6 until I was 12 to beat the game and I gave up at trying to get to Ganondorf because I didn't know what guides were. Six years later I found a guide and beat the game. During the credits seeing all the bubbles with parts of the game in them made me cry. That is when I realized how easy it was to be 6 and carefree.
This used to be my favorite game of all time until I finished Breath of the Wild, but godamn the staff credits of any Zelda game can't top this one. :( It just makes you wanna cry for some reason.
I loved the whole end credits so much, the bubbles that kept floating to the surface at first were like the the memories of what happened in wind Waker but as it goes on more and more appear in the background all floating up from hyrule as if they were the memories from past games. Seeing hyrule, ganon and the master sword get washed away knowing they were gone forever was such a bittersweet ending...
My oldest cat passed away a few nights ago... I wore a Wind Waker shirt the day after. Not just because I love this game, but because whenever I played this song on the piano (albeit horribly) my cat would recognize it and perk up, or sometimes even come over and interrupt it and stand on the piano.
Zelda games are always so magical.. They're the only games that make me wish I could forget something just to do it all again. BotW, the Wind Waker,-- If I could relive this in another life, I would every single time.
This single credits sequence has turned a title theme from a catchy song uniquely tied to the Earth God’s Lyric and Wind God’s Aria to something that makes me hold back emotions nearly every time I boot up the game. Best game ever
Finished this game last night for the second time (Well technically first on Wii U, second overall considering gamecube) and I tried not to cry but I failed. The game is so amazing and this song being at the end of it the culmination of one of the greatest adventures in existance, and the fact it was over and so beautiful that I cried. And I'm not ashamed.
What a beautiful song to cap off a beautiful game. To think, the fans initially hated the cell-shaded cartoony graphics, but it turned out to be one of Zelda's best games ever.
This music really touched my heart it was one of the first zelda games I ever played and it's so beautiful and fun! I beat this game like 6 times and I still love it to peaces. the second game I started to play was ocarina of time on the 3ds let me be honest MY SECOND FAV ZELDA GAME! But wind waker is my favorite too! I love it soo much thank you nintendo for making this great game😊
I've had to have played this game over 50 times by now and it never gets old, it feels brand new every playthrough and is definitely my favorite game of all time.
Idk wtf you're talking about. Every main theme from 3d games are present. The sky diving in TotK and the Riding in BotW/& TotK are amazing. Every town has it's own theme. The main theme of TotK beats Windwaker hands down. Don't get your head out of your ass, you're just wrong.
Just beat the game for a second time yesterday. First Zelda game I ever beat years ago, and probably my favourite along with BOTW. The soundtrack has got to be my favourite from a Zelda game
Happy 20th anniversary Wind Waker. I know this is HD, but that’s what I grew up with. Thank you for being the game I needed when I was 12, and this summer at 21. Crying my eyes out listening to this theme. Everything about this game, a tale of growing up, and being brave resonated with me as a child. Now, I see it from the adult perspective, reminding me not to be chained to the past, deluded by it. I love this game. I love all it stands for. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, my favorite piece of media ever
I love this song. Such fantastic melody to go along to the completion of a great adventure game of a life time. Wind Waker HD will definitely be a game of nostalgia to me for no other reason than it just being an amazing game to play. This falls in line next to Ocarina of Time & A Link to the Past. Thank you Nintendo for all the cherished memories =D
The music in this game is a masterpiece. That is one of the many reasons this game will forever be my favorite Zelda game. I will always look to this game to make me happy when I'm down.
Most people I've talked 20 years ago that hated the game now just love it and have amazing memories. If it wasn't for that realistic trailer that hyoed everybody that came out some time before the game, everybody whould have loved it since day one
After I listened to the ending music, the ending was about to make me tearing up. I wish I could replay the ending music on the TV through the game. The Wind Waker still my 100% favorite Zelda game ever. Thank you Nintendo because you made such an... I don't know how to say it, but The Wind Waker still an awesome Zelda game every for me.
I literally just relived a massive journey of nostalgia and got teary-eyed…I got into Zelda with OOT, but WW was the first Zelda title I had actually beaten from start to finish. Such an incredible coming-of-age story for both Link and myself-this game was so charming and full of heart, and has had a special place in my memories for a long time. The end credits track gets me every time, especially that image with the last two bubbles featuring Link and Tetra as the last of the King’s memories floating to the surface.
Arylls theme makes me cry the lyrics explain the game how she got kiddnapped and how her brother saved her im never gonna stop loving this game it is awesome
This game is truly a masterpiece, definitely one of, if not, my favorite games of all time. I’ve beaten over 5 times now and would do it again and not be bored. The Triforce quest at the end of the game is well known for being boring but I love it because you get to explore the huge ocean and discover things you’ve never seen. The dungeons are fun and interesting and so are the characters. Also the music from this game is my favorite soundtrack from any video game ever.
I finished wind waker close to my high school graduation this year. I got the opportunity to travel to another country to finish high school. Started playing during the quarantine and finished with in-person school, which shaped much of who I am now. I really wanted to stay in that country for college but it didn’t seem very possible. When she says “As for our destination, the wind will guide us” when they about to look for the new Hyrule... that just broke me
Tell me about it. People just held OOT world in higher regard because it was the first time it had been done. Wind Waker's map is much more fun to explore.
I find myself coming back to listen to this song atleast once a week. It’s silly how the credit theme of a goofy, lovable, cartoonish game can have such a powerful meaning. This song for years and years now has continuously inspired me to never give up and keep going and has helped me hold on to hope for so long now. I cant help but tear up a little every time I hear this absolute fucking banger of a song. Even in my darkest times when I feel like I’m at my lowest, hearing this masterpiece of a song helps remind me every time that no matter what happens, the wind will guide me.
If I could wipe my memory of a few select events, besides the fucked up things I've seen/heard, I would also forget this game's story, so I could experience the twists and turns of the plot all over again.
I feel that

Just beat it, looked up this song so i could listen to it again. I'm pissed though because I beat it in four days.
"blown away" better not be a pun
ViolinOfTime probably the explosion one,not the Wind one
also, aryll's theme perfectly matches with zelda's lullaby, paralleling how aryll is mistaken for zelda. and the great sea theme similarly lines up with and compliments the classic zelda overworld theme

Medli's theme + Makar's theme + Aryll's theme + Zelda's lullaby + Great Sea + Outset Island.
3:01 I am hearing Zelda's lullaby
Yami All we're missing now is the theme from ONE PIECE
JK
I'm not sure but it goes...
Ya-yoo ya-yoo ya-yo
The 4kids dub. The super cheesy one.
That was the only one I ever knew...
Just finished this game tonight for the first time. Everything was epic. I tried not to cry. I failed, but even that was epic.
IF YOU DIDN'T CRY WITH THE FINAL SCENE YOU HAVE NO SOUL.
Yes. It was, you're not the only one.
I'm 18 years old, have played the game about a dozen times, and I STILL can't go through the whole thing without choking up. The writing and the music really stir up emotion.

Hearing Zelda's Lullaby at the end of this never fails to give me goosebumps.
It sounds likes its completly over. Like you'll never go back over
If you listen carefully during the Tin Whistle parts, you can hear it played on the Hurdy Gurdy in the background

Tim Suckmyballs "Tim Suckmyballs"
You have absolutely no room to talk.
This song represented the end of the best journey of my childhood... I used to cry when I listened to it, yet now with Iwata's death... It becomes even harder not to cry. RIP Iwata - Thank you for making the greatest part of my childhood.
It was 2006 or 2007 when I put this game into the GameCube in my houses basement. I can't believe a decade of gaming has gone by for me.
Yeah it was around that time for me too... It really has gone by all too quickly.
"Hello? NostalgiaVille? Yes, I'd like to order a pizza."
"Oh, and can I get extra chills on top? Cool. Oh, and some tears on the side. Thanks."
With a side of josta cola, too, please :P
"Can I also get some onions? Also send a ninja over to chop them for me"
And when you hang up, the pizza guy says "THAAAANK YOOOU!"

the bass at 3:36 hits hard.
Makes my arm hairs raise up every time. Chills!
This is my favourite game in the zelda series
Agreed.
AFLTigersFan 27 This is actually my favorite game of all time... glad to see I'm not alone on calling this a masterpiece.
This used to be my favorite game of all time until I finished Breath of the Wild, but godamn the staff credits of any Zelda game can't top this one. :( It just makes you wanna cry for some reason.
I’m tied with this game and majoras mask
This is my favorite game of all time

Windwaker hd was a saving grace for the game because I grew up with it and love it to death. Best Zelda game personally
Best song in Zelda franchise, hands down
My oldest cat passed away a few nights ago... I wore a Wind Waker shirt the day after. Not just because I love this game, but because whenever I played this song on the piano (albeit horribly) my cat would recognize it and perk up, or sometimes even come over and interrupt it and stand on the piano.
+Kawaii Kailynn Sorry for your loss.
Your cat must have been your best friend to you.
He was. He would always sit on my lap while I played any game in general, or at least sit nearby, and act like an armrest in some cases, haha.

He sounded fun.
Awww rip kitty they’re waiting for u on the rainbow bridge bro ❤
Zelda games are always so magical.. They're the only games that make me wish I could forget something just to do it all again. BotW, the Wind Waker,-- If I could relive this in another life, I would every single time.

Same bro
That's...Arryls theme
@@dillonmalbrue4179 if anything it's closer to the song of time than zelda's lullaby, but yeah zelda's actual lullaby is at 3:00

The thing that I love the most about this song is that they didn't have to change it at all when they took it to HD, it was already perfect.
yes
@Jake Wilson hi
Not a song.
@@CrapheadMoleman redditor
Best ending theme in the entire series, hands down
Yeah it symbolizes the Final Defeat of the Evil and the Peace and also that now a new future can Start now (Spirit Tracks)
The most beautiful, emotional and perfect ending to the best game in the whole series. What a masterpiece man, wow.
I played through just few hours ago and when on the end of the credits the name Satoru Iwata rolled i got tears in my eyes. such a beautiful game.
Out of all the Zelda end credit themes Wind Waker's will always be my favorite
❗️A BEAUTIFUL End Credits piece of music from such a CONTROVERSIAL game back in 2003...
3:55 is the best part, you're welcome
This song gave me chills and made me want to play it again... and again... and again...
I'll fucking miss you, Iwata.
never say that word around Iwata's name
+ZioPuccio Me too.
What a beautiful song to cap off a beautiful game. To think, the fans initially hated the cell-shaded cartoony graphics, but it turned out to be one of Zelda's best games ever.
Beautiful yes, but it's not a song it's just music.
This game is a gem that came out at the wrong time. I really hope it gets released for the Switch soon. I really want to play through it with my son.
This music is a warm embrace and comforting smile to the weary hero come home.
This music really touched my heart it was one of the first zelda games I ever played and it's so beautiful and fun! I beat this game like 6 times and I still love it to peaces. the second game I started to play was ocarina of time on the 3ds let me be honest MY SECOND FAV ZELDA GAME! But wind waker is my favorite too! I love it soo much thank you nintendo for making this great game😊
I've had to have played this game over 50 times by now and it never gets old, it feels brand new every playthrough and is definitely my favorite game of all time.
I played this game all the time as a kid but never got around to finishing it until today. This game will forever hold a special place in my heart…
I don’t understand why i. botw and totk they stopped making such iconic music. Zelda is always known for incredible themes
Idk wtf you're talking about. Every main theme from 3d games are present. The sky diving in TotK and the Riding in BotW/& TotK are amazing. Every town has it's own theme.
The main theme of TotK beats Windwaker hands down. Don't get your head out of your ass, you're just wrong.
dark beast ganon theme
The best game I have ever played in all my life, this song makes me cry every time I listen to this song, I love so much this game
This song makes me so happy and full of bliss, I can't help but dance to this song. A true masterpiece
Not a song.
This is all time favorite piece of music, thank you so much Wind Waker :’)
Just beat the game for a second time yesterday. First Zelda game I ever beat years ago, and probably my favourite along with BOTW. The soundtrack has got to be my favourite from a Zelda game
AHHHHHHH NOSTALGIA, I loved this credits theme as a little kid.
Theres just something about Zelda music that makes you feel a certain way
Happy 20th anniversary Wind Waker. I know this is HD, but that’s what I grew up with. Thank you for being the game I needed when I was 12, and this summer at 21. Crying my eyes out listening to this theme. Everything about this game, a tale of growing up, and being brave resonated with me as a child. Now, I see it from the adult perspective, reminding me not to be chained to the past, deluded by it. I love this game. I love all it stands for. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, my favorite piece of media ever
This my first Zelda game played. I was 9 when I played this on the Wii U the Memories of it. I still have my Wii U to this day 😂😂😂
AIIIIYAHHHH
Best. Zelda. Game. Ever.
agreed
agreed in fact the best video game i’ve ever played
I want my ashes spread to the sea, with this song being played.
My favorite Zelda game, my favorite video game, and my favorite credits theme
This isn't my favorite Zelda game, but this title is by far the peak of Zelda music.
I love this song. Such fantastic melody to go along to the completion of a great adventure game of a life time. Wind Waker HD will definitely be a game of nostalgia to me for no other reason than it just being an amazing game to play. This falls in line next to Ocarina of Time & A Link to the Past. Thank you Nintendo for all the cherished memories =D
The music in this game is a masterpiece. That is one of the many reasons this game will forever be my favorite Zelda game. I will always look to this game to make me happy when I'm down.
Sidenote: This song WILL be played at my funeral.
Oh man, just finished it. I feel happy and sad the same time
This music always hits me directly in the feels every time I hear it
God this just brings back... all the memories.
I can't listen to this without tearing up and I don't know why.
A masterclass of musical composition.
Most people I've talked 20 years ago that hated the game now just love it and have amazing memories. If it wasn't for that realistic trailer that hyoed everybody that came out some time before the game, everybody whould have loved it since day one
A masterpiece indeed.
Hands down the best Zelda game, no competition.
Impossible to not tear up
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF OUTSET ISLAND WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥 😤😤
Sounds splendidly Irish. My 14 year old self knew what was up. Cried like a baby then and now.
i want this to be played at my funeral.
So fierce and yet so calm.... Like a breeze.
The song that can make you feel happy no matter how you feel prior to hearing it - happy or sad !
After I listened to the ending music, the ending was about to make me tearing up. I wish I could replay the ending music on the TV through the game. The Wind Waker still my 100% favorite Zelda game ever. Thank you Nintendo because you made such an... I don't know how to say it, but The Wind Waker still an awesome Zelda game every for me.
I’ve been watching this every night before bed for the past 8 months lol
Best part 0:00 - 5:28
this game was my childhood, oh boy, the nostalgia
I literally just relived a massive journey of nostalgia and got teary-eyed…I got into Zelda with OOT, but WW was the first Zelda title I had actually beaten from start to finish. Such an incredible coming-of-age story for both Link and myself-this game was so charming and full of heart, and has had a special place in my memories for a long time. The end credits track gets me every time, especially that image with the last two bubbles featuring Link and Tetra as the last of the King’s memories floating to the surface.
So beautiful and sad... :')
Found a music book in a piano shop and it was a Zelda songs piano book and this song was in it. Now I'm hear listening to the song in all its glory ❤️
Everyone who doesnt tear up while listening to this has 0 to no heart
The ending is perfect
I usually don’t like credits but this is one of the few great video game credits. Video is standard but the music is just insane
Arylls theme makes me cry the lyrics explain the game how she got kiddnapped and how her brother saved her im never gonna stop loving this game it is awesome
was 15 when I first played this I expected just a mindless adventure, instead I got my favorite game of all time
A legendary song for a legendary game :)
After the millionth time listening to this I realized that the picture is slowly zooming in
I finished the game rn and It was awesome. Ty Nintendo :)
This game is truly a masterpiece, definitely one of, if not, my favorite games of all time. I’ve beaten over 5 times now and would do it again and not be bored. The Triforce quest at the end of the game is well known for being boring but I love it because you get to explore the huge ocean and discover things you’ve never seen. The dungeons are fun and interesting and so are the characters. Also the music from this game is my favorite soundtrack from any video game ever.
Esta canción es preciosa
Yesterday I finished this game :'(
The song hits me hard at 1:42
I just want to dance when I hear this song. Thanks Vega.
Amazing, superb, lovely, a masterpiece, that are words that describe The Wind Waker as game and score ❤️ so nostalgic 😢
❗️When I first heard this 2003, I fell in love with it straight away and here I am again in 2023 doing the same thing :'-)
I finished wind waker close to my high school graduation this year. I got the opportunity to travel to another country to finish high school. Started playing during the quarantine and finished with in-person school, which shaped much of who I am now. I really wanted to stay in that country for college but it didn’t seem very possible. When she says “As for our destination, the wind will guide us” when they about to look for the new Hyrule... that just broke me
People hated the Great Sea for being less empty than Ocarina of Time's Hyrule Field
Tell me about it. People just held OOT world in higher regard because it was the first time it had been done. Wind Waker's map is much more fun to explore.
You made me so happy to find this here ^w^
best zelda music ever
I just started this game yesterday and omg is it so good! I love it so much.
.
One of the best games
When you buy a Wii U just so that you can play the remastered WindWaker
a beautiful game. thank you
This song gives me goosebumps
Still one of the best Gamecube games ever made! So glad it got remade on Wii U. I beat the game in like 1 day! lol :)
I find myself coming back to listen to this song atleast once a week. It’s silly how the credit theme of a goofy, lovable, cartoonish game can have such a powerful meaning. This song for years and years now has continuously inspired me to never give up and keep going and has helped me hold on to hope for so long now. I cant help but tear up a little every time I hear this absolute fucking banger of a song. Even in my darkest times when I feel like I’m at my lowest, hearing this masterpiece of a song helps remind me every time that no matter what happens, the wind will guide me.
Not a song.
