The more terminals you get the more sadder and creepier it gets and it also shows that mipha doesn't want link to fight waterblight ganon and doesn't want him to leave while in the other divine beasts the theme gets more hopeful
I can definitely feel the whole story of the divine beast and Mipha in the song. It's a great theme.
You guys it's so beautifully sad. And it does her character such justice.
Verdade, o que o tema da Vah Rudania tem de alegre, esse tem de melancólico, além de assustador.
@@FuridaGames I thought I was the only one
And this is why out of all the divine beasts, this one had the most significance to me. It's just a shame that this is the one I was first guided to, the first time I played this game. All the other Divine beasts felt lackluster by comparison
Something that almost no one noticed: from 00:00 to 1:20 if you hear the song on headphones you wil notice that each part of the song representing Mipha comes from the Leftside, and each part presenting Ganon comes from the Rightside.
SOS signal on the left, SAD signal on the right.
Each "echoing" note is on the left, each distorted note is on the right.
The only thing present on both is the piano, which probably represents Ruta. This piece is true genius.
After the first phase, for the rest of the song the SOS signal is gone. It's only SAD on both left and right but with different pitches and timings, also every note comes from both directions. From the second phase on, it's only Ganon.
What is a SAD signal, if I may ask?
@@CrabRango Search and Destroy.
@@cyankoopa8111 Ahh, thank you
What's the code for SAD?
that piano player was definitely feelin some shit
💀💀💀
EXACTLY BRO
Who hurt that man?
@@elevate07he played pain instead of piano
Fr 😭
I am not sad, I’m fucking terrified. This music is scaring me with all the Morse code beeps and the long piano notes. But at the same time all the divine beasts were fun to save.
SAME MY HEART CANT TAKE IT
Same
Especially when you watch this video with headphones at 2am
@@Montana-Mulm oh my god yes, whatching this at midnight I am terrified
@@Montana-Mulm still not as bad as loud ass loading screens
Dude wtf xD
I can't believe no one has mentioned this, but the moment when the SOS starts dying out around 5:10, is when the organ representing Ganon's motif kicks in strongest. Ganon is in complete control at that moment
Yeah, you’re right! Ganon did have a thing with an organ, did he not?
@@Silksper It is only in Ocarina of Time, towards the end of the game, we are shown that Ganon/dorf demonstrated exceptional skill in playing the pipe organ. An eight year-old me even applauded Ganondorf's performance, right before he challenged Link and I to the memorable energy ball tennis match.
Its a piano though
F
Actually, if you listen closely, the SOS signal is gone from 1:20 onwards, after the first phase only SAD signals can be heard (Search and destroy). So probably mipha died way earlier.
I think while the other champions fought the blight, Mipha hid. That's why the music gets creepier the longer you hear it, because the blight slowly starts getting closer and closer. The Morse code even speeds up the longer you hear it.
The thought of Mipha hiding somewhere within Vah Ruta, hearing the malice choking the Divine Beast and tearing it from her control as the Blight gets closer and closer as she frantically sends the SOS again and again and again until it finds her is just horrifying
@aliteralpotato873 It was actually more sadistic. Waterblight Ganon froze all the water within Vah Ruta to cull Mipha's survival chances at fighting back or escaping.
Still, the Search and Destroy signals hardwire some pretty dark headcanons to the fear the Champions felt, knowing there is an unknown unfiltrator aboard their Divine Beast.
Yeah she was to scared to fight in AOC she stayed back she def hid but she couldn’t escape, she got crushed by ice
Each of the divine beasts themes are essentially the champion’s final moments given musical form. You can hear the entire struggle evolve and go from bad to worse.
Actually this is only in Vah Ruta theme. The other beasts are the opposite, tragic at first, hopeful later
I remember hearing Ruta's theme for the 1st time, it sounded way more haunting than the others. The gentle music box paired with the grim piano gave such a ghostly vibe
The music box is actually a celesta :)
Ikr so spooky
For me personally, vah naboris' theme sounds the creepiest. It sounds really ominous. Each theme is really good though.
phase 1: 0:01
phase 2: 1:19
phase 3: 2:11
phase 4: 3:02
phase 5: 3:54
final phase: 4:45
With each phase comes an increase in tension and desperation. In terms of musical storytelling, I'd say this track is one of the best in the game.
You're very right on this one. This is probably the first one you'll reach ingame. And it prepares you very well for the rest of the beasts. This is so good, that if you close your eyes you can see Mipha hide and Waterblight teleport through the beast to search her. Just use your imagination. It 's so good. It's on final fantasy level.
revali??
Unlike the other beasts, it gets more and more tense (while the other beasts are inverted), showing that Mipha doesn't want Link to fight Waterblight.
@@Matthew-Martinsson The way you put that last thing about Waterblight searching the beast for her is terrifying
So in the final phase it gives me chills because I did'nt want to fight water blight and after the blood moon jus jumped scare me
To me this one thematically is the most disturbing, and tragic in terms of musically what it conveys. There's the scary tension around in the electro interaction and it makes you kind of dizzy, then you have the stressed piano accents punctuating the mournful theme. I think it beautifully conveys her tragic story and her unfulfilled love for Link. That is how this music gets that meaning. I get these sick chills each time I hear this.
...---...
It gets even more morbid. If you listen closely, you can hear a set of beeps within the track that make out SOS in Morse code.
in the 2 terminals active theme and on, i hear HELP in morse code.
in the 2 terminals active theme and on, i hear HELP in morse code.
Adding on...there is also an SAD (search and destroy) in the music as well, which could be coming from Waterblight. D:
I havent seen anyone talk about how the SAD signal plays before the SOS, implying that waterblight ganon reached mipha before she sent out the sos.
Thats horrible to imagine
The emotional weight of this song. Vah Ruta in total is a symbolism for Mipha’s sadness. She’s been trapped along with Ruta for 100 years. She knows her people are suffering without her. She doesn’t want link to fight the blight ganon and she especially doesn’t want him to leave because of how much she loves him. I cried when I released her and Vah Ruta from ganon. I cried because I knew she was free. Her suffering was over. The suffering of her people was over
@@DrLinkyokay. You don’t need to say anything. Also, someone pointing out a story bit and being sad over it because it tends to be sad and has some sort of reflection of life doesn’t make them a fish simp. Smh
@@Silksper Ok bro dont take it so sertously 😆
@@DrLinkyso a person feels exactly what the game wants them to feel and they are a "fish simp" got it
@@hadeskingoftheunderworld7010 Its just a game dude mipha isnt even real
@@DrLinky correct, however, feeling exactly what a person making a form of entertainment wants you to feel is not a bad thing
with each phase, the piano sounds less like a piano and more like a "GODDESS HYLIA PLEASE FUCKING HELP ME IM GONNA DIE"
I just imagine Mipha hiding somewhere using morse code whilst blight is searching, scanning the area and using sad code as its trained to search and destroy... as its getting closer to Mipha she panics and uses the code faster and faster then when the music speeds up at 4:46 that's when she's found and the very short battle begins then when the music changes at 5:45 her death painful death happens
Very crazy detail nintendo has put to a game which seems like there's no very horrific stuff at all, except for cucoos, they are terrible, also I wondered about something, why didn't the respective region people for the divine beasts cared to check the beast to see if the champion doing fine? Maybe the champions could have a back up emergency instead of sending out a sos which no one can hear except for ganon and guardians
Thats so creepy, this sound is a whole creepypasta
@@trustyrusty6969 I think nobody can't get in the the Beast, except the champions. And when, the Beast are defending them selves and attacking the everyone else. Man, hearing this music while writting this comment makes me sad...
@@trustyrusty6969 In Age of Calamity, you actually need help from the little guardian to access each the Divine Beast, so I guess they couldn't enter even if they wanted to.
Yea, the way i imagined it was the game explained the spirits of the champions were trapped in the controlled beasts, so when the music in Vah Ruta was getting more intense it was her soul/spirit being taunted/tortured while trapped by the dark malice of the blight ganon
At 1:20 The beeping becomes rapid, almost like Mipha was desperate for help, Like she instantly knew she wouldn't be able to fight on her own and she was sounding the SAD alarm off to Let the team know she was hidden and in danger so each electronic gush you hear, It's almost Waterblight was getting closer to where she was hiding that's when the alarm would sound for SAD, It got quicker and as soon as the music picked up, He had found her But she was still sounding SAD Off that's when it stops soon after, As she's focused on battle that soon lead to her painful death
For people who don’t know, SAD stands for Search and Destroy
What does the sad alarm sound like?
@@maxplaystds5225 ••• •- -••
You know, I kind of like the idea that she hid first and desperately called for help. Mipha doesn't seem like a coward in the slightest but even a skilled hero and someone like her can be scared witless, running for her life. When found and forced to battle she probably put up one hell of a fight
The beeps are quite literally SOS in morse..
I honestly feel sad and hopeless listening to this theme, it feels like no matter how hard you try you won't win, a gruesome and horrific death is always there and waiting for you. Every. Single. Time.
i'm going after medoh for champion's ballad, and hhh it sounds difficult. i just need a lot of urbosa's fury.
@Isabella Van Ginkel nope, i finished normal mode champion's ballad, but i haven't played master mode much recently. i'm currently about to face waterblight.
@Isabella Van Ginkel nope, champion's ballad is like an extra set of challenges, but the battle does get harder but it isn't impossible, or like thubderblight
I like the assessment but she died a ling time before Link went in so I don’t think the song is supposed to be about her dying. It could be that her soul isn’t hanging on like how Zelda was getting weaker when Link woke up.
@@MrGnastygnate the song is kinda both actually. You've probably heard of the SOS and SAD signals in the background, each representing Mipha's cry for help and Waterblight hunting her.
Also, unlike the other themes where the song gets more hopeful (Medoh's also becomes more panicked) as you activate more terminals, Ruta's get's sadder, as if Mipha doesn't want Link to risk himself dying to the same thing she died to.
this track is amazing. in the other divine beasts, you can hear hope as you progress, but in vah ruta, you only hear hope in the beginning. Mipha is happy to see you at first, but she realizes this means you'll have to fight the beast that killed her. The theme goes from hopeful to desperate, a warning. Mipha is begging you to live, and to her, that means leaving.
100 years Link devoted to be revitalized from how weak he was. 100 years Link has looked after those who survived the calamity. And finally when him and Mipha finally got to be together again, "She Wasn't There"
These tracks are truly haunting. Some people a lot of people seem to notice is the desperation the champions had while they were fighting for their lives. However I think there's another reason as well. The Champions were caught completely by surprise by the calamity, and when fighting against the blights, they weren't just fighting to save their lives but to save all of Hyrule. They knew the damage Ganon would cause if they didn't win, so their desperation is twofold; to save their own lives and to not fail Hyrule. If you asks me that makes the despair in these Divine Beast tracks even more tragic. Not only did they realise they were going to die, but that they were not able to perform their duty and save Hyrule. The rising panic in the music illustrates that beautifully.
Age of Calamity shows that they fought at night as well. They all died alone, afraid and watching their kingdom crumble from an insidious monster in the dead of night. It's worse for Revali though. His people have poor night vision meaning he fought Windblight in conditions similar to how Rudania looks when we arrive
@hylianhero1921 It was also wet. I remember somewhere that it states that Rito feathers are waterproof, but it still causes a hindrance to flight (?). Also, the only people, or species, capable of getting up to Vah Medoh were the Rito.
Poor girl didn't stand a chance. Man, the Champions deserved so much better. That must’ve been terrifying to reach a place you think you'll be safe, onlu to be ambushed by a monster designed to kill you...
The fact that it started with the SAD (search and destroy) morse code before the SOS shows how outmatched mipha was against waterblight
It managed to overlap the SOS signal with its malice which makes this more depressing
I'm just gonna come right out and say it, I liked the Divine Beasts WAY more than the temples in TotK.
Not even an unpopular take. As time goes on, more and more will come to this.
They threw out so many unique aspects of BOTW in favor of HALF MEASURES (the temples, for example, in TOTK were failed attempts at classic dungeons, and were downgraded Divine Beasts that took away the aesthetic that made those unique: taking back control of a cursed mech and freeing the soul of your comrade from basically hell).
I can only say this in hindsight (now that we know the TOTK temples, except for the lightning temple perhaps, were a failure), but they should have doubled down on divine beasts, but somehow make them more complex like classic dungeons AND give them more unique theming (one thing that TOTK did better). And give us more of them, maybe 8?
BOTW 2 could have been as industry changing as BOTW, but in the end it just felt like DLC to me (even if techbically it has to much effort poured to be called DLC, it still feels like it). Instead, we got a good game in TOTK that fails to live up to its legacy unfortunately.
All the blabbering to say, i agree with you lol
@@saxoman1many languages on earth and you chose to become fluent in fact-anese.
@@APsGTG
I suppose the blabber warning should have been at the top lol
5:13 I think I just heard Mipha dropping her trident right after the SOS codes have stopped holy shit I think I’ll go cry
I believe that is the ice sound effect, probably waterblight slowly freezing all the water.
Mipha is fucking dead.
She didn’t have it in the first place sadly. She must’ve been just throwing random stuff at it
It’s the ice crushing her to death
Duuude, the SOS sign lasted until 5:10, she really had hope someone would come to her aid.
F.
It’s ever so faint until the end.
The Zora arc was the best in BotW from a story perspective imo, and you can really feel it in this track
The SAD (Ganon's) signal transmits earlier than the SOS (Mipha's) signal. He was already in the beast on his prowl for her. Then after the first Terminal, their fight begins. After second terminal Mipha is gravely injured (synthwaves inducing flowing blood), after third Ganon takes on bringing the beast under his control while Mipha bleeds out. She can only watch in horror, as her live slowly flows out of her.
Fun Fact: SOS, while used as a way to signal for help, does not actually stand for anything.
Though it is commonly believed to mean "Save our Ship", the actual explanation for this iconic sequence of letters is the distinctly simple tone they create in Morse Code. 3 Dots, 3 Dashes, 3 Dots. It's so distinct and easy to hear, it was adopted as the "Help" signal so operators can get to the emergency as quickly as possible amidst the plethora of other messages they would receive.
After Radio Communication became mainstream and Telegraph became obsolete, the real meaning of SOS was muddled, leading to the common error it is an acronym.
no
I can't choose between this one and Vah Medoh as my favorite Divine Beast song!
As a violin player that is my second choice too! I can't get over how epic it sounds and how it feels climactic.
Same here, but I made my decision. This one.
All the Divine Beasts have a somewhat forboding atmosphere but... this one gets me so badly. The music gives it the atmosphere of a graveyard. Worse still in my first playthrough I didn't know what to expect, so I had the constant fear of finding Mipha's corpse.
Yeah... what even happened to the champions' bodies? I always thought the Blights just yeeted them out. I'm going with that, because my insides never smelled like a fish market
@@ruta_the_elephantThe most common theory is that the blights absorbed them.
SOS = ... --- ...
SAD = ... .- -..
The beginning piano melody represents Mipha, and it already dies out after terminal 1, including the SOS signal, then it is replaced by SAD signal from Ganon. She died probably very fast, impaled very suddenly then crushed by ice, and nothing was left but a red bloody spot on the ice. She couldn't fight back because Ganon turned the water into ice.
jesus christ man
i wanna be good at music like this one day
this is awesome
I honestly feel like the whole story of mipha is sad. She loved link so much just to die and never be able to see him again.
The fact that this theme started with the SOS call is so sad , no music before , she knew she was going to die and yet she fought for link :'(
I think doing the Champion's Ballad DLC really puts all the Champions fights into perspective. As the player, we have way more weapons, etc at our disposal. But forced to fight the Blights with only what the Champions had, it's much more challenging. I don't think I ever hit the ice blocks back at Blight in the regular playthrough, but I was forced to in the Champions Ballad.
Damn, youre right! I never made this connection, but damn!
Those fights were a whole nother level going in "unprepared" (which the champions could not have been prepared for THAT)
this is literally the most disturbing, terrifying and saddest soundtrack out of all titans...
i know no one is gonna notice this, but i absolutely ADORE the opening piano chords at 0:02. they never cease to give me chills.
The SOS calling for help all the time in a panic. And then suddenly stops (05:35). Mipha's death.
And you can hear some metal weapon dropping (Mipha's trident)
It gets creepy as soon as she sends out her signal. Waterblight crept up on her. It made it haunting for her. She was terrified and the music turns from haunting to both haunting and desperation near the end
1:19
I almost started crying wtf
Mipha and Sidon are by far my favorite characters??
And when it got more intense like that it reminds me of the battle and how desperate she probably got and **screams** _why_
I don't know why, but the divine beast themes calm me.
It's just enough amount of eerie scary, knowing that their spirits are still alive and guiding you, but neverthless they died a gruesome death fighting the Ganons.
There's no real enemy, you're just solving puzzles, but the air is thick with ominous music telling you how fragile life can be. Even that of heroes.
It makes you prepare for your own death no matter what form it may take. Without being too obvious about it.
saved this
The tempo change at 1:20 makes me think that mipha was trying to evade waterblight but was caught...
God this game is a masterpiece
Listening back to this, there’s a chilling shift between the intro and terminal 1. In the beginning you clearly hear Mipha’s SOS signal in the left channel and Waterblight Ganon’s SAD in the right. Once the track shifts, the entire piece gets darker and the signals get much more erratic and start overlapping. However, when you listen closely, Mipha’s SOS is gone, it’s only SAD.
The first minutes sounds like how you imagine "you're here, but it's too late, it already happened"
The way I only replayed this divine beast is so I can listen to this horrific ost
I believe for mipha she wasn’t prepared to fight so she hid as much as she could and rang SOS but then in the end she died
For revali i think he wanted to hold out until the other champions were saved and that’s why you here the Signal loud
For daruk its a bit quiet like he wanted the others to get saved first
And for urbosa she kept on fighting but was also sending sos signals but the loud boom is probably lightning striking her
revali's was rushed and felt panicked, it was when he gave up his pride and realized shit got real ..urbosa was electrocuted twice and beheaded or split in 2 as people say
Miphas divine beast themes were just perfect. They really captured her essence in both songs. Just listening impacts you so hard. It just makes the whole thing feel as tragic as it is supposed to be. It’s definitely the best divine beast theme of all of them. You don’t have to listen to hear Miphas sorrow.
I honestly prefer Vah Medoh's more for how haunting and very desperate it sounds. All of them are perfect! But Vah Ruta is surely moreso having a very forbidden atmosphere. All the more, a graveyard like atmosphere.
Vah Medoh is my favourite theme in the game and the series, but Vah Ruta is very special!
And youre telling me link had to listen to this while running around in there?? id be poopin myself
I can’t help but notice during Mipha’s final moments, the song shifts into what sounds like a lullaby. Remember when Mipha gave Link her blessing, and told him to take care of Zelda. I think she’s realizing he won’t be alone here. And having faith that Zelda will awaken her power and protect him.
The first time I entered Ruta, it was with the shared hope of the Zoras to find her. But the more the music changes, the more we understand that something serious has happened and that the chances of saving Mipha evaporate. When I finished activating the 5 terminals, I understood by the music that it was far too late and that I was heading towards the cause of his death.
Later, I learned of the existence of the SOS and SAD morse codes which punctuate the music. Despite that, I felt the urgency, the distress, the sadness, probably unconsciously. This music is simply incredible in its construction. The clear sound that opposes distortion, the long and rare low notes to the panic of short high notes, the SOS decreases while the SAD grows.
A masterpiece. ❤
Listening to this after reading the adventure logs has me tearing up 🥺 apparently Link and Mipha were childhood friends. And they loved each other. Enough that they were going to get married. But the war broke out before it could come to pass. The Zora armor was link’s wedding gift 😭
This music is terrifying and sad at the same time. The SOS code almost immediately as the music starts showing Mipha knew she was outmatched and was probably struck down once she arrived. SOS 2x from 0:03-0:10, SOS 4x from 0:26-0:41, SOS 2x from 0:57-1:04, then a strand of beeps that I can't quite decode (I know next to nothing abt morse code) that last from 1:20-5:31 that repeat ~30 times. Begins to fade at ~15x, speeds up ~4:47, ends at 5:31, then resumes faintly at 5:51 but fades out, and the song ends before it can finish. I'm working to decode it, though some things might be wrong ive checked it like 100 times lol, I'll put it below for anyone who can make it make sense.
Mystery Strand:
••-•--•-••-•--•-••-•--•-••-•--•••••
SAD, Search And Destroy.
Waterblight searches, Mipha gets destroyed
... .- -.. ... .- -.. ... .- -.. [repeat]
Les sons morses sont confondus dans la seconde partie et cela jusqu'à la fin où l'on entend faiblement le signal SAD et plus du tout le signal SOS (signe que Mipha est morte).
The fact that Mipha’s sos call is the most quiet out of everyone else’s really makes me wonder why? Was she too weak by the time she called for help?
It starts out the strongest, for sure, but Mipha died pretty early on and didn’t get much of a chance to fight at all, so I guess it makes sense
At 4:45 you can hear a super faint heartbeat. If you ask me I think its either to show how scared Mipha was before she died or shes nervous that waterblight ganon is going to kill link too.
The sos beeping starts at 1:20 and ends at 5:32 meaning at 5:32 is when Mipha died whats more it's subtle but you can slowly hear blights theme bleeding over to the left over taking Mipha's😢
Miphas divine beast theme is by far the most disturbing piece of the calamity by far
Ruta is the saddest one to me, it’s literally Mipha seeing her would have been fiancée once more. No possibility of going back to how things once were. Rlly sad.
Paying attention to the music really makes the story a lot darker and more painful
While listening to this, knowing about the SOS calls in the theme, knowing botw very well, and reading comments about her situation, I literally saw in my mind, the battle between her and waterblight, the desperation, the dread, the fear of dying, the weight of her regrets, her sadness, EVERYTHING was made into this song.
If you listen closely, and just try to imagine, you will see the gruesome encounter, the hunt, and the death of mipha.
In some places during the end of the theme, you can hear a guardian beam charging. And then her piano disappears…
I just came from listening to Vah Medo (I think, whichever is in Rito) and this broke me hearing that the SOS signal starts immediately
Idk how to make edits but the way it gets so panicked also hurts
this is my favorite song in the soundtrack because this is just so hauntingly beautiful
The one thing I actually hated about this song was that it goes from somewhat calm to immediately creepy as the player progresses. Which isn't bad in own's thing because it works for this setting, the more terminals that are unlocked the closer to relasing the monstrosity that took control of the Beast and killed it's champion. It gives the player the realization after going in of: "oh shit something is wrong" the more we stay. And again it works, except only... it only happens in this Divine Beast.
For all the other Divine Beasts it's creepy/unsettling when we first enter but then as we get the terminals the music changes from unsettling to something more akin to hope, like we're liberating the Divine Beasts. But not here. It's like a creepy dollhouse that gets worse and worse as the player goes on. Personally I would've made the song slightly slower and be like 1:20 and slowly go from creepy to calm again to give that false sense of security until the Waterblight appears.
Like don't get me wrong I love the song, I really do. I just wish that if Nintendo was gonna keep this song, then why did the other Divine Beasts couldn't have had something similar? Or at the very least make this one different
What if the music is links distorted memories of what he heard that day
What makes me sad and angry about this song is not the SOS and SAD signals her father could most likely hear as well, it's the fact that she was only a child of 4 when this was happening and the father had no choice but to sit by as it happened. God no father should have to go through that.
Wait but she must have been way older? Sidon is her little brother and he's apparently 135 years old when Link awakens, which means he was 35 when Mipha was killed. So she must be older than 35. (but I agree it's incredibly sad, also she did die very young for a Zora since they apparently usually live well over 100 years)
she's like teenager in Zora years
S.O.S signals, kinda Song of Time inspiration in this masterpiece, atmosphere, everything's just awesome about it
how can i hear the sos?
@@Blackgold272_Laura
Just get better audition
@@StillBlaidd Can you pass me the minute where it says "sos"?
@@Blackgold272_Laura
Well, it starts right at the very beginning, you just need to turn the volume up, and press your headphones a bit.
(Edit: I'd recommend turning the _video_ volume up, if you're using pc, and in case you haven't understood it yet, the S.O.S signals are in morse code, you hear the boops quite loud in this theme in particular.)
(Edit 2: I saw a comment saying that it lasts until 5:35, but I could only hear it until 5:10, after that, it suddenly stops.)
1:20 SOS signal becomes so hectic...
Its rapidly going off like she's begging at this point, Pleading almost, If you picture it, She was calling for help rapidly, And then the electronic gush you hear go by, waterblight was getting too close so she was calling for help Before she was found and slain
Its so sad....she was trying to keep him away with how frantic those sos notes are. Shes worried, and was just trying to protect link as she once promised. God its both scary and sad.
Me crying in pain waiting with Mipha for 100 years for Link to come and free us:
yoooo!!
r/beetlejuicing lol
@@Z0DIIAClol
This theme is very spiritually significant to me, tho they all are.
I feel like both Mipha & Vah Ruta are basically rooting for Link through all the instrumentation. The distorted noise at 0:13 - 0:56, 1:07 - 1:19 almost match up with the melodic succession of 1:48 - 1:54. The Spirit understands it's being set free.
3:54 Link's own working spirit showing itself through to them both
If that makes sense...
If you listen closely, you can hear an SOS signal. It's so creepy.
Everyone talking about the symbolism of the SOS.
Me wondering why they have Morse code in a world without telegraphy.
So, the day of the calamity and the champions went off to their beasts, after they had already realized (some later than others) they needed backup, they sent out the signals. It’s a well known fact that you can hear the signals along with the SAD signals too (SAD meaning search and destroy).
I want to replay Vah Ruta after this, honestly
At 1:20 the SOS and SAD signals seem like they are battling like Mipha and the blight. They get more prominent and sound even more destressed
Literally everyone: Gosh this soundtrack is so sad and creepy, poor Mipha ...
Me:*just casually enjoying it due to its atmosphere* •>• y-yeah same over here
Love makes people do things they normally cannot do, in this case it was piloting her dear divine beast Vah Ruta, lurking in the waters, unseen, unheard, her attacker was already there by the time she had arrived aboard, silent, awaiting her to discover it's hiding place, the instant it heard footsteps, it awoke, chasing her to her main console, and back, she manages to ignite her signal in panic, the other two soon followed, by now the water had froze over, the waterblight had spear in hand, no where to go, it..won't..would it, petrified and too young to fully comprehend, it strikes her down rather effortlessly, the last thing she heard was Revali's sos start playing.
WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO MAKE HER DEATH REALLY SAD 😭😭 but seriously though your comment is actually really good writing
Bet her dad and brother could hear this.
Idk where, but I saw a theroy somewhere about baby sidon following mipha into the Divine Beast
Oof
The series of electrical dots and dashes in the beginning are Morse code. There are two notes that the two broadcasts are being sent in; one higher in pitch, one lower. The higher pitched broadcasts “• • • - - - • • •” or “S.O.S.”, an acronym for “Save Our Souls/Ships,” a general distress call that armies used when Morse code was applicable, and the acronym “S.O.S.” Still being used to this day. The lower pitched broadcaster, however, sends a more offensive code: “• • • • - - • •”, meaning “S.A.D.”, which when associated with military code, like SOS, means “Search/Seek And Destroy.” This command is given when an oppositional force attack from hidden or clandestine positions in an urban or open environment in which the defender has the upper hand. When S.A.D. is issued, troops are ordered by their NCO or CO to wipe out said hidden positions with lethal force if necessary or otherwise authorized.
The higher pitched “S.O.S.” broadcast can be heard from the beginning of the theme to the 1:19 mark when the theme’s phase changes. However, from 1:19 on, mysteriously, the two higher and lower pitched broadcasts will emit the same code, “S.A.D.”, until both broadcasts cease. (It is easier to hear both individual broadcasts if headphones are worn).
The higher pitched “S.O.S.” from 0:01 to 1:19 can be seen as Mipha’s broadcast to the rest of the Champion alliance, while the “S.A.D.” broadcast that conflicts with Mipha’s distress call can most definitely be seen as Waterblight Ganon intercepting commands from Calamity Ganon.
Past the 1:19 mark, the SOS broadcast ceases from the higher pitched broadcaster, or Mipha. This unfortunately means Mipha was defeated fairly quickly by Waterblight Ganon. But what is mysterious about her later broadcasts is it matches the intercepted waves coming from Calamity Ganon. Could this mean that after the champions were killed, they were forced to join the blights, or at least their bodies were forced to join them, in their defense of the Divine Beasts until Ganon fully formed? I’m unsure, but this small piece of evidence certainly points toward it. It would also explain how Ganon’s Blights are so much similar to the Champions in body structure.
That’s sad and creepy
But also intresting😮
The fact that each theme has S.O.S in Morse code just for some reason adds a layer of fear to my listening of it
Mipha is the only one who motivates Link during the fight with Ganon. She believes in him. Rest of em all are like 'if he dies, he dies'..Revali didnt even give a damn
The japanese version gives him subtle words/tone of voice of "you better not fucking die"
Man people become full-on Harvard-level scholars in the comment section of the Divine Beast themes lmao
I always imagine 💀a ghost sitting and crying in the dark💀
I don’t know why but I absolutely love the tempo change at 4:45
Everyone here is talking about the SOS signals, but nobody else hearing the SAD (seek and destroy) signals in any of these? My theory is it’s Ganon interfering with the SOS messages to throw off, or him corrupting some natural signal within the divine beasts such as an automatic SOS when in need.
This is probably the saddest of the themes to me. Because she really loved Link and didn't want to die because it meant she couldn't be with the one she loved. Mipha would truly be a ghost, haunted by regret. On the other hand,Vah Medoh I always thought played with the theme of the Rito Village. The theme was of shocking loss, as arrogant as he was he was still fighting on your side and a proud champion. Then the theme of the village to me was so sad, almost like a disbelief the champion fell. But Vah Medoh as you completed the terminals it got more and more anxious... A genius soundtrack.
I came to this vid because I find the theme calm and pleasant to listen to. This comment section was absolutely not what I expected...
When i entered this devine beast (my first of all of them) I thought that the themes would be epic/challenging, not sad and terrific like this one. What a game was BOTW.
I cant unhear the SOS SIgnal this is so scary and sad at the same time
Got to play this game just in 2023 and God, this has been stuck in my mind for months
Can't bear how something that cute as that lullaby and frightening as Mipha's call for help sound this hopeless
A haunted lullaby of lost love 😢
Best of all the Devine songs
I love what happens at 1:20 when the melody of the chimes goes up. Together with the bass of the piano, an enormous tension arises, which heats up the atmosphere to bursting due to the extreme distance in pitch.
That brings back some great memories
So sad and disturbing, but calm in other way, perfect to me
In the beginning of the song i always imagine Mipha seeing Link returning with a sense of surprise and hope. Like saying "You're finally here! I missed you" followed by nostalgia and dread, she can't be near him (Physically) or hug him. For me this is the saddest Divine Beast Theme.
This song makes me wanna check for monsters under my bed.
watch out for the spear, it has long range
Most underrated ingame track
Brings me back to August of 2021. I got this game late, but I remember completing this dungeon one day after school. Such good memories 💙
100 years Link devoted to be revitalized from how weak he was. 100 years Link has looked after those who survived the calamity. And finally when him and Mipha finally got to be together again, "She Wasn't There"
For anyone trying to hear the Search And Destry message very rapid and hard to figure if you dont put your ear on the speaker 1:20
This is so spooky and atmospheric, it almost sounds more like Metroid music
Funny you say that since this game felt like Metroid with all those futuristic weapons and gadgets attracting metal and what not plus the infamous sphere in every shrine just always gave me Metroid vibes !! 😂
the nostalgia of playing through this divine beast so many times with my dad, even getting so stressed out that I threw up lol
just listening to this brings me to tears everytime :)
