A lot of people like to say that Spirit tracks if the lesser of the two but I feel that they're two sides of the same coin. Phantom hourglass rewarded your exploration with extra side quests. While in Spirit tracks, the side quests reward you with extra exploration. With phantom hourglass, you are lost exploring a strange new world, while in Spirit tracks you are uncovering a old world's lost secrets In phantom hourglass each region emphasizes what's sets the cultures apart, while in Spirit tracks it emphasizes what brings them all together. It's a real shame many Zelda fans sleep on these games. they're actually really great and compliment each other perfectly.
@@ndogmario the only reason why they say they are bad are because: ‘Steam boats and steam trains are too futuristic’ Like... what? You know how old a steam powered engine is? They are older than steam boats!
I completely agree! The remakes would look fantastic! Like if they updated the textures and what not. Like I can see how it could work on the switch. You can use the remotes or you can use your fingers, and it can be switched in a settings menu. But updated textures 🤤 They would ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Nintendo missed out on a huge opportunity with Spirit Tracks. They could've given the game a day/night cycle and used the slow part of _Full Steam Ahead!_ as the night theme.
The whistle sound really makes the finishing touches on this particular remix, especially since I think almost everyone who played this game would pull the whistle in time with the music. The smooth transition to the battle theme (which makes the normally kind of mediocre theme better) is also a great touch. This is a nice medley of my favorite Zelda game!
i was late to the zelda series, i was like 14 -15, it was my first zelda game, and boy what a game. I loved it so much, the beauty of it... Also I like trains
God, Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass getting a remastered version would be amazing. With a bit of visual overhaul and some gameplay tweaks, they actually have the potential to be some of the best games in the series.
@@EpicGamer-rs8rd I don't think there will be a remake in the near future. I posted a question about it on Reddit, and they all say that Minish Cap, the Oracle games and Skyward Sword will most likely be remastered before Spirit Tracks
Believe you me, this one is worth playing It's very divisive (since people either love or hate the train) so you should give it a shot and see what you think! If you actually end up liking the train sections, you'll absolutely love this one.
Legitimately one of the best Realm Overworld remixes I’ve ever heard. I loved the surprise introduction of the combat theme, and the close out was phenomenal. I also loved the quiet chug in the background. Thank you for this.
Im just preying even for the smallest chance in the universe for a remastered version of spirit Tracks or maybe a bit reimagined to make it Longer and better
@@linkhewitt36 Meh, when your on something like the ds, have limited tools, wanna make somefin different in song... gotta find all potential instruments: (Spirit) Train; Percussion -- Unpitched (NOTE: Technically can pitch via speed.)
With how large BotW's world is and how much bigger TotK's world became, it would make sense to have a line of track connecting the different lands and villages of Hyrule's peoples. Having a steam train to run on it would be even more fun. I wonder how hard that would be to mod into TotK? Could make some zonai-based engine and train car models to go with it
Just love that little title scene of Link engineering the train and Zelda's spirit just chilling with him, so cute. Not to mention Linebeck the III being a badass just like him Grandpa X3.
@@samyb4566 Well. Lots of people dont like the controls. Albiet, if you know how to use them, they are amazing, but beyond that, the just appear functional, and thrown together, when its anything but. The flute... could probably use a bit of touching up on atleast though. Really the switch could do it. just without a constantly present map, and it might be a bit wide of a screen and might break some places. it would need to remaster the whole game and scale stuff due to new screen size. I dont think they will do that much for a remake because wheres the line of too much change? No one has a definitive agreeable answer so...
I was just recommended this channel for the first time, this was a great introduction and a great addition to my playlist. I could never resist blowing the whistle to the song either..
BEAUTIFUL. You can tell a lot of effort went into this. I love the use of vocals, too. It took me by surprise but it works. I imagine that's how Zelda's voice sounds. I can imagine her spirit sitting on top of the carriage like in the intro, singing that melody as it resounds across the country air.
@@linkhewitt36 I think what they mean is that since they are more to using the switch, and the DS utilized both of its screens, it would make it difficult to recreate on such a system. you need the touch screen mechanic as it is integral to the game play and you need to have constant surveillance on the map when driving the train lest you be jumpscared and totalled by the demon trains on the tracks.
@@silverentbalcaitis6413 if they wanted the ds games on the switch all the mechanics would have to be reworked basically which doesnt seem like nintendo would want to do that
You had me cry over this. It's so hard to find good Spirit tracks content and I somehow always missed this one. The shift from overworld to battle was incredible, the little voice bit in the end had me scream internally and it was just... magical. I got so emotional when the train slowed down in the ending and all. I love that game and I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful piece. Mind if I download it and add it to the few songs I keep on my phone? Unless you have a more 'legal' way to get it than using a third party downloader.
To be honest, just the mere _existence_ of this game punches a massive hole in the Zelda timeline. I mean, the Sheikah managed to contain a _miniature black hole_ in an arrow head, and yet they never re-discovered the steam engine. _HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY ARCEUSDANG SENSE?!?!_
@@aetheralmeowstic2392 When you have magic, there’s no need to research science stuff for what magic can do I guess- most people would probably be studying spells more than science stuff. It just so happens that New Hyrule already had Steam powered stuff when they found it, and since it was useful they used it.

As someone who volunteers on a steam railway, I can confirm this song plays in my head whenever I'm on the engine (unfortunately I can't play it out loud what with having to focus on not exploding the 100 year old locomotive instead of bopping to this banger)
happens in game too, and oohhh it makes the song so much better. also makes it sound like you take out the lead instrument when you take out the train lul. (for the most part you do, actually.)
Yup, the train engine goes out of its way to sync/resync to the music ( 137bpm I think it was? ) if any even like slowing down or encountering enemies happen. The train's speed was made to perfectly match that on full speed of 193 units per frame. I managed to disable the music for recording purposes and am still looking to find songs who's bpm match the train's engine.
@@Martyste strange thought: Couldnt any song technically match the engine, if the tempo of the music is at 137? Cant change tempo more than about 20 before (unless you actually have a group of people playing the song) it gets a bit too far and probably will pitchshift noticably if your altering a video. Playing in a different tempo... it may not sound good but it'll allways work
@@link_team3855 I mean, yeah, but the ideal is to find songs that are withing 2bpm max of the train, and then pitch shift+tempo the train instead of the song. I found matching themes such as Ice Cap Zone ( Sonic 3 ), Crossing the Desert ( Tintin Destination Adventure )...
This is absolutely amazing!!! 🤩 Just wondering where did you get the splicings for the train chuffs and the whistle? Also does anyone else see the spirit trains front as a angry face or just me 😅😅
Glad you enjoyed it! I actually took the train chuffs from the game's intro sequence and just adjusted them until they looped and matched the song tempo. For the whistle, I cut it from the ending when you remain an engineer! Lotsa audio work for something so small, huh?
the one thing i hate about this game is the spirit train itself its hidieous just Like the sunset express, excess express and bullet bill express from mario games now if the train was pulled by a real locomotive like Southern pacific daylights or LNER A3's or better yet an AC-12 or P2 mikado then i would be happy
Why something so beefy? I think that the Spirit Train fit the art style perfectly. The Mikado is WAY too big, honestly I would love a BOTW style spirit tracks remake with bigger engines but it’s supposed to look toony. If anything the old Western American locomotives look 100% better than a Mikado.
You're one of the few people who understands that the sound of the train compliments this song so well
Not even that it was creted with it in mind like it was any other instrument, muting it makes no sense
The train horn is best gameplay feature
@@lastgengamers1137 facts
I love the concept of fast traveling in this game, shooting the top of the hoop, and using the whistle to open the portal.
Not to mention the train puffs along to the song making a nice beat
Spirit tracks and phantom hourglass deserve remakes
A lot of people like to say that Spirit tracks if the lesser of the two but I feel that they're two sides of the same coin.
Phantom hourglass rewarded your exploration with extra side quests. While in Spirit tracks, the side quests reward you with extra exploration.
With phantom hourglass, you are lost exploring a strange new world, while in Spirit tracks you are uncovering a old world's lost secrets
In phantom hourglass each region emphasizes what's sets the cultures apart, while in Spirit tracks it emphasizes what brings them all together.
It's a real shame many Zelda fans sleep on these games. they're actually really great and compliment each other perfectly.

Man, now I want to play spirit tracks again
i just started it over and i love it, the musics are great and the game mechanics as well
I love how the song slows down like a train and makes that stopping noise that old trains make at the end of the song.
I think that was an actual mechanic in the game. Depending on your speed, the music goes with it.

Lucky you at least got to play it i dont have a 3ds so i cant 😭😭😭
@@venti2569 It doesn't need a 3DS, just a DS.
Only Zelda games on 3DS are Triforce Heroes and Link Between Worlds.
