    This theme was extremely complex to unpack, despite being made of only 4 basic segments with 2 variations each, because each wave arranges them in a different way, sometimes only using parts of segments. On top of that, the loop normally only uses 3 of the 4 segments until you make a certain amount of progress in the wave, at which point it adds the last segment. For the sake of completeness, I've uploaded each wave individually, as well as all the waves combined. For those wanting a simplified version that covers all parts for use in playlists, you can find that here: ua-cam.com/video/p_smb_Ciz4w/v-deo.html

      ​​​​@@tootnoot3074Kumite and its baseline are the most prevalent theme in the track, which is used throughout most phases. Essentially, the entire song overall can be called a remix of Kumite.
      Which makes sense given this is a repeat of the climax of SS, but at the end of the current chronology instead of the start.
      2:43 is where it shifts from being the baseline to being very blatantly and obviously Kumite for the first time
      Edit: apparently the Japanese name of this theme in the Japanese TotK track names is straight up The Final Kumite to go with the above

    This battle theme befits an all-out war, rather than a simple fight. Wave after wave of monsters, set it with the open field backdrop. The Imprisoning War fought all over again. Link can very much declare himself a war veteran. So can Tulin, Sidon, Riju and Yunobo.

    8:01- 8:16 I know it’s also interspersed earlier, but can we talk about the use of *electric guitar* of all things in a Zelda track? It works better than it has any right to. At 8:30 you can also hear this synth tone that I could have sworn I’ve heard in Metroid Prime games. Combine that with the sax in the main theme, and I feel like the TotK has broken convention in Zelda’s scoring the way BotW did with the actual gameplay

    • @JacobNintendoNerd99
      @JacobNintendoNerd99 Рік тому +10

      Reverse opinion. I think BotW's soundtrack straight up sucks for the most part with a handful of exceptions and TotK is a massive jump in quality.
      Having real boss themes instead of the same boss theme used over and over for every main boss (Maz excepted, and oh God is he a hell of an exception) is just one way it's a huge step in the right direction for me.
      I also think the brand new character theme for the new Ganondorf in the game used throughout TotK is also pretty good and foreboring, and it being used as part of the main theme is also a pretty good call imo

      Not that BOTW music was terrible, like Dark Beast Ganon was good, but nothing from BOTW compared to something like this song in any way.
