I enjoy how mechanical the theme sounds, And I love that "*CLANG*" that echoes after every few loops. It sounds like a Factory or an Industrial Building of sorts, and it sounds great.
I’m convinced Majora’s Mask was just conceived as a vehicle for Koji Kondo to put out his industrial IDM tracks. In all seriousness the man really is incredible and looking back at these soundtracks years later I’m starting to understand where a good chunk of my music taste came from.
Had to come back here when this was used for Super Metroid Subversion. This really has the vibe of standing over a huge complex mechanism, pondering all its tiny moving parts, trying to figure out what you need to activate to make any progress. I always love that feeling, especially when something finally clicks.
I didn't even find the Great Bay Temple annoying. Though this is because the Zora swimming mechanic was wayyyy ahead of its time for 2000. A less than perfect swim mechanic would have made this level hell. I didn't even mind missing passages because the washing machine room was small enough you could reposition quickly for the next go around.
the great bay temple is actually a water filtration plant. i like the think the dudududu up and down sounds are an alarm letting the zora know the plant has failed, and the clanging is the machines failing to... filtrate water lol and the the big clang is like some angry fish hitting the alarm speakers lol
This temple was such a departure from anything Zelda had done when Majora first released. So mechanical and cool, contrasted nicely with the rest of Termina which felt so ancient (Ikana and Woodfall especially). I will stand by that collecting those dang eggs definitely contributed to my dislike of this temple haha
@@KRIZ·TEE He tried to stop the origin of the cold which was the boss in the temple. What I mean is that the purpose of the temple and it’s design from a lore and theory perspective is nonexistent.
people say Great Bay Temple soundtrack is unsettling hell nah, it's not unsettling. i've been banging my head to it, i just love this soundtrack so muchhh
@@WonkelDee well im kinda traumatized of it like every time i did any progress, my computer would turn off (possibly because the power plug was damaged) and then when i finally had beaten it i accidentally deleted my save file (idfk how)
Me who actually liked this temple looking at a lot of the comments: _visible confusion_ (I mostly liked it because the zora swimming was much better that iron boots)
I never understood the hate for this dungeon. I loved it and will probably never stop loving it. The music is a masterpiece, the overall atmosphere nails the impression of a complicated, but advanced technology that Link isn't really able to understand and it's somehow frigthning. The layout of the power plant is challenging and forces players to think before they randomly jump into the maze-like structure of the pipes. I got stuck in this dungeon for a week or so in my childhood on my first play-through, but I wasn't frustated with looking for the solutions and getting an idea how the Great Bay Temple is working. It was very rewarding in my opinion.
As Hugh Laurie would so eloquently phrase it in the episode of House where he and his group of interns were treating a musician with an odd taste in gritty electronic beats, “This is the sound a trash compactor makes when you crawl inside of it!” 😂
Not really. You had to just go to rooms you haven't been to yet, find a valve, turn it on, rinse and repeat. Although that section with the see-saws really pisses me off.
i ADORED this dungeon and when i got into majora's mask in like 2014, i waited to see what this temple looked like when i played it myself and i was so shook. i was not expecting a mechanical water dungeon AT ALL because nothing in the game really indicated that it would look like this. the music is incredibly stressful and eerie, the puzzles were great, the boss was horrible but let's not focus on him lol. i never understood the issues people had with this place. yes it's difficult, that's why i love it. it's tedious enough to where it doesnt make me want to not play it. it makes me watch my every move to make sure i dont screw up or else i'll pay for it. i think that's a good thing
Having beaten this temple for the very first time ever due to the NSO release…I honestly didn’t find it that difficult. Tedious for sure with the slow moving levers and backtracking, and only one point where I didn’t know what to do next because I forgot I had the ice arrows, which is admittedly more on me than the dungeon design. Honestly, Stone Tower gave me a lot more trouble. I will say Gyorg is such an annoying boss, though.
This particular piece always had an interesting vibe to me, like it would make good music for Whirlpool washing machines. Perhaps that giant contraption that creates a whirlpool doesn't help that train of thought much. 🤣
@@xaphon89 Yeah like it literally tells you where to go, the only part that was a little but confusing was just figuring the gimmik itself and going back to thr first room
@@serpentine6318 And the game does point that out to you in the beginning too, you just have to remember. I think a lot of people are just letting their bad memories of OoT's Water Temple color their expectations of anything that reminds them of it, because Stone Tower Temple was a lot more confusing (as you'd expect it to be, it comes after) but you never see anyone complain about that one. It even had those tedious segments where you had to play the Elegy of Emptiness over and over again with different masks and then use the hookshot to climb, which reminded me of constantly pausing the game to equip the iron boots more than anything in Great Bay.
Honestly for me, this was the hardest zelda dungeon. I've played every mainline zelda but this dungeon, still to this day is just so confusing to me and the mini boss and gyorg are just so difficult imo
Gotta disagree heavily. I beat Water Temple without ever looking anything up. This though, couldn't even find where the first valve was without a video guide, and I didn't dare to try to do anything by myself from then on for the temple because I was so scared I would mess up and then have to start the whole thing over again
I REALLY don't know which was worse... The water temple or the great bay temple.... For SURE great bay was intimidating as far as the theme/music goes... But as far as difficulty its tied in my opinion. Idk what it is with Zelda games and water and shadow/grave temples but they are ALWAYS hard
@@johncollins4010 No i don't. Temples like that aren't loved in general, but at least you'll remember them you know. I think great bay temple is actually incredible because it takes the same traits as the game itself, feeling lost etc. I believe that today they want to extend their public as much as they can, that's why you hear people talking about having level of difficulties in Dark souls, which makes no sense at all. I know some people who didn't want to play majora's mask because of ... you know, this 3 day thing, depression etc. Today games tend to be simple in the form/shape. Look at BOTW, the story is a bit sad (i don't think it is this sad tbh, the people on the map don't seem to suffer from ganon presence), but the music - atmosphere - visuals, to me, are not. My opinion ofc
@@Wassyl71 honestly I loved both ocarina of time and majoras mask but majoras darker approach captivated me. I still to this day 21 years later STILL think about the eerieness of majoras mask

For me, sounds like futuristic mechanic
It is a water purification plant after all
It sounds like someone is banging their hands on the metal walls. It's creepy as hell and I love it!
It's true sounds very mechanical.
That’s my fav part of the soundtrack
I’m convinced Majora’s Mask was just conceived as a vehicle for Koji Kondo to put out his industrial IDM tracks. In all seriousness the man really is incredible and looking back at these soundtracks years later I’m starting to understand where a good chunk of my music taste came from.
For a deeper appreciation, watch Save Data's videos on the N64 Zelda dungeon music.
Same here, I also liked how the Deku Tree’s BGM sounds like Aphex Twin.
Majora's Mask is the brownest Zelda game.
Kind of reminds me of this: ua-cam.com/video/bKWsvFZ4g1s/v-deo.html
will you post this crap in all the ost videos?
Hard to believe this is Koji Kondo. This is underrated. This and Song of Healing are some of his best.
It's amazing how you can revisit a song and only realize 20 years later that it's a head banger
Yeah it was a headbanger alright… this level was frustrating AF
Unpopular opinion: I love Great Bay Temple. Criminally underrated dungeon.
I don't "like" it per se but i don't understand why people hate it? Sure it is a bit repetitive but its pretty short anyway.
In my firstplaythrough i was to slow and had to reset. But i always loves this dungeon.
I always love the water levels.
Yes
I think its not a bad Temple but the Musik is so stressful
Had to come back here when this was used for Super Metroid Subversion. This really has the vibe of standing over a huge complex mechanism, pondering all its tiny moving parts, trying to figure out what you need to activate to make any progress.

Zelda: Our water levels will be annoying to play, BUT they will have major bangers for soundtracks.
real

A less than perfect swim mechanic would have made this level hell. I didn't even mind missing passages because the washing machine room was small enough you could reposition quickly for the next go around.
And then Skyward Sword came along and said “Heres a banger level with a banger soundtrack JUST FOR YOU :D”
@TheAdmirableAdmiral And then the 3DS version made the swimming controls worse
This is my favorite Zelda dungeon of all time, despite what people say about it.
koji kondo will never cease to amaze

Ocarina of Time: control the water level
Majora's Mask: control the water _current_
Twilight Princess: erm... *s t a i r s*

Really? Snowhead was pretty ancient too
@@KRIZ·TEE but there’s nothing interesting about it. No lore or theories about it.
@@WonkelDee really? So Darmani got himself killed for no reason? I doubt it if there was something he wanted that was in the temply
@@KRIZ·TEE He tried to stop the origin of the cold which was the boss in the temple. What I mean is that the purpose of the temple and it’s design from a lore and theory perspective is nonexistent.
the temple itself is good and unhampered by the annoying prerequisites to get to it, same with stone tower
people say Great Bay Temple soundtrack is unsettling
hell nah, it's not unsettling. i've been banging my head to it, i just love this soundtrack so muchhh
ive listened to a lot of industrial and unsettling music, but this song is still very unsettling 😭to each their own ig
This is a certified hood classic.
The best water themed temple!
I personally liked the lakebed temple better, but I do enjoy this one.
love that spicy take in the despription LOL
the perfect theme for suffering
come on it wasnt that bad
@@KRIZ·TEE after the 5th time i was playing the game, yeah it wasnt that bad at all
It was an easy dungeon
@@WonkelDee I guess it's dependable on the person, you must be the type to remember to backtrack a lot so you would naturally find it easier

The hate is because it's tedious and annoying. If you make a mistake you have to start a whole process all over again
just finished the temple for the first time, I think I got lucky with my routing because I had no frustrations with this temple.... except the boss...
for me its the backtracking its so inconvenient. the most powerful stray fairy reward in the game and theyre so frustrating to find even with a guide
There is something fitting about lessening to this song when you are doing long and tedious homework when it is due in just three days.
When you drive through the carwash while high
People hate water temples in Zelda but honestly Great Bay and LakeBed are pretty good imo.
As Hugh Laurie would so eloquently phrase it in the episode of House where he and his group of interns were treating a musician with an odd taste in gritty electronic beats, “This is the sound a trash compactor makes when you crawl inside of it!” 😂
House
Oh my gosh, this song is so eerie :000
I love this dungeon to bits. I always look forward to it (and its music).
Hard temple with all the water changes!😱
Not really. You had to just go to rooms you haven't been to yet, find a valve, turn it on, rinse and repeat. Although that section with the see-saws really pisses me off.
@@KRIZ·TEE "Rinse and repeat"
I see what you did there 😏
@@Xxplosive2323 I don't? Lol
@@KRIZ·TEE It sounded like a pun lol
Temple dealing with water, and rinse and repeat idk lol
@@Xxplosive2323 I doubt that’s a pun. A pun is something like how you SEA there. That’s a pun.
Great music for a great dungeon. One of my favs
This music is great. This dungeon is little hard. Love Majora's mask. Little scary dungeon. Love young Link.
This would make a killer percussion ensemble piece

Ah yes the sounds of me slipping into insanity
Also heard in one of the Super Metroid's rom hacks. And in surpreme quailty too for a 16-bit game!
Yo tengo el archivo SPC, quizá se use en un hack de SMW
Super Metroid Subversion much?

Thought the Water Temple was bad? Say hello to the horrific beast known as Great Bay Temple.
lol great bay temple doesn't even COMPARE to the water temple
@@KRIZ·TEE the only difficult thing about water temple is the "put on the iron boots, take off the boots, again, and again..." thing
@@KRIZ·TEE water temple is easy as hell, just tedious. You also have infinite time to do it and don't have to worry about stray fairies.
@@joss2227 oh good, you don't have to worry about stray fairies here either
@@KRIZ·TEE Not worrying about stray fairies usually leads to rage quitting during any of the mini bosses past that point.
I like the anxiety tunes. (You know which ones I'm talking about)
I love this music!
same
It is good
I‘ve sometimes listened to it like 30 minutes straight
That anvil crash keeps making me think this is from Skyward Sword for apparently some reason

Washing Machine Temple
This particular piece always had an interesting vibe to me, like it would make good music for Whirlpool washing machines. Perhaps that giant contraption that creates a whirlpool doesn't help that train of thought much. 🤣
maybe this is just me but I found this temple really simple and never got stuck anywhere
Yeah it's literally color coded. Glowing pipes and giant arrows everywhere. Most people are blind, I guess.
@@xaphon89 Yeah like it literally tells you where to go, the only part that was a little but confusing was just figuring the gimmik itself and going back to thr first room

It was a fair challenge at first
The "driving on a flooded road" theme.
My favorite Dungeon in a Zelda Game
Best Zelda dungeon ever!!!
Bosses of industrial themed levels in 2000 gaming:
LoZ: Majora's Mask: Gyrog
Banjo-Tooie: Weldar
Megaman X5: Volt Kraken
This tune sort of stimulates your thoughts.. Anyone else agree ? 🤔
when your inside a ship:
banger track fr
This hardly even sounds like music from a Nintendo game/Koji Kondo. I get BOC and Tangerine Dream vibes from it. Amazing.
The power of water compels Link!💧
Honestly for me, this was the hardest zelda dungeon. I've played every mainline zelda but this dungeon, still to this day is just so confusing to me and the mini boss and gyorg are just so difficult imo
This temple was a breeze compared to oot water temple
Agreed. there are literal goldfish arrows and pipes pointing the way. Did everybody just ignore the tips the temple gave?
Gotta disagree heavily. I beat Water Temple without ever looking anything up. This though, couldn't even find where the first valve was without a video guide, and I didn't dare to try to do anything by myself from then on for the temple because I was so scared I would mess up and then have to start the whole thing over again
To to ton to to ton ❤️
I wanna hear somebody try to rap on this lmao
If anyone has seen the cube movies I feel like this would fit well in it too
Something about the colors and lighting of this dungeon always reminded me of the first movie.
Donkey Kong Country 🤣😆😂
Great Bay Temple AKA the oceans washing machinge
Great bay temple > water temple

It was a medium challenge temple
