They added this song in Legacy of Darkness cos there was a lot of complaints of there not being enough classic Castlevania songs in Castlevania 64. They did a terrific job. Other themes are scattered throughout the soundtrack
They basically improved the game in every aspect. I can understand why people hate C64, but this one fixed pretty much every problem that was in C64, so the hate is completely baseless. As for the music, there are a couple of scattered tracks from previous games (such as Second Struggle and Dance of Ilusions from Rondo of Blood) but my favorite is one nobody talks about, which is a version of Bloody Tears (named Legacy of Darkness part 1 in the soundtrack) which sounds a lot more ominous and creepy than the original, it's great.
@@GiordanDiodato definitely improved camera, or rather 'finished', because Legacy of Darkness is essentially the final finished completer version of Castlevania 64, as that one was rushed out before they had a chance to complete development. Legacy of Darkness is what the game should have been from the start.
God, I love this arrangement. Pure, undiluted Yamane goodness, and she didn't even work in this game. Circle of the Moon's version was fine, just overused. Even the best songs grate on your ears when they overstay their welcome.
I'm glad someone else liked the 3D Castlevanias. I honestly really liked Lord of shadows 1 could not wait for the second one...and then played it...wow hot garbage...but it was at least pretty I guess! This piece of music is one of my favorite songs to go back to from time to time.
Absolutely. Playing this today, on a modern PC emulator with the graphics cranked to 4K, and using an Xbox controller, it's like experincing the game the way it was truly meant to be played.
I want to say this is the best version of "The Sinking Old Sanctuary", but I love some of the faster versions, as well. That's the beauty of CV: the music varies so much that picking a single favorite is nearly impossible on any selection.
This track exists now in restored quality using the original sample sources and it sounds so good I teared up. Look up OrangeC's latest videos, or paste the video ID into the search: frWCi7Qslwk
I wonder if this game's story could be adapted/fleshed out into a show, too? Then again, the "Hunter & Little Magician Girl" dynamic would perhaps be redundant, with the upcoming follow-up to the Netflix series.
Vaya, es bueno saber que no era el único que jugaba esto Desde que lo jugué (7 años de edad) me daba miedo, un año después agarré valor y acabé las 4 historias Ahora es difícil conseguir esta maravilla
The only 3D Castlevania that keep the true feeling of the series, except ofc for the change of the hearts for crystals but still, awesome. I just hate how Konami rushed developers to release the Cv64 and a lot of ideas stayed out in the beta, even characters...
@BastendorfEvergrass OK when I was 7 had no save pack and had to keep the console on it was difficult, especially when my sister just turned it off to annoy the living heck out of me
Yeah, the composers of today's games are getting lazy.. Michiru Yamane (castlevania),David Wise (donkey kong country), Yasunori Mitsuda (chrono trigger, and Koji Kondo (mario and zelda) were one of a kind back in the day..
In truth, the best tunes in videogames nowadays are in the indies. The rest is just repetition of the same... Even Jeremy Soule is losing his touch in the Elder Scrolls, simply because everybody wants games to be more epic... But they are losing their essence
Just imagine the Hyrule theme for a moment, a theme first heard on an 8 bit cartridge. Can you think of any modern game’s main theme that even comes close? It’s all about graphics now.
I think they selected most of the good ones, but indeed there were some disappointing exclusions. I was really hoping to get a remix of Successor of Fate.
Jammer dat deze mooie spellen nu onbetaalbaar zijn geworden, nooit gespeeld de eerste twee 3d Castlevanias op de n64, de ost klinkt in ieder geval subliem
Good game, I had no memory card when I was a kid until later, I would play the game all day and be depressed because I never went outside or talked to anyone, I don't know why it never occured to me that I did not have to turn the console off. Every time I turned it off, it was start over from the beginning, so I have had my fair share of playthroughs of this game.
OMG!!! I was literally thinking to myself "I think I've heard this on SOTN in the inverted Library I believe" and had been looking to see if anyone else noticed and looking to see if it was the same song. I was driving myself crazy here!! Lol. I even had two tabs open... one from the 64 LOD and the PS1 SOTN and going back and forth listening and thought I heard the same tune.
Is not overlooked, some people(including myself) can't simply overlook clumpsy controls and crappy camera. It not just breaks but KILLS the inmersion. It doesn't stop me of appreciating the AMAZING soundtrack, though.
Who said I was talking about the plataformers? Jumping to conclusions, briliant. I'm talking about the Metroidvanias, the PS2 titles, and well, the platafformers as well. And clumsy combat is still clumsy.
Sorry bud, but since the LOS OST has literally won "Best of" awards, I'm going to have to say that, due to evidence, your (subjective) stance has been disproven.
I must say that the soundtracks of this game are beautiful perphaps the gameplay was bit awful because of the camera angles but the music is just beautiful
Sorry, but I disabree. Sure, it's an improvement, but, truth to be told, it's still not a good game. The original is crap, this is just disapointment. And no, I'm not willing to "overlook the game's flaws", because Castlevania has done VASTLY better, to the point the quality standards of both games are practically an insult to the franchise.
But Symphony of the night is too easy and the inverted castle is boring and repetitive. Legacy of Darkness is full 3D and Cornell was a awesome character, Sotn is too overrated.
I love this song it's calming and make you feel like your at a masquerade ball for some reason!! One of the best soundtracks of any game in history especially since it came from Nintendo 64 a old but classic and great game system! I still have my Nintendo 64 too had it since I was a little girl now it will make about 12 or more years!!!!
I don't think I've ever found another game with this quality of atmosphere and music. I would really like to find another game with a soundtrack like this.
I wish that they had not released Castlevania 64, and instead just waited another year and then released this game as Castlevania 64. It's a great game that never got out of the shadow of it's poor predecessor.
@@GamerWordDotNet LoD is far better than C64 since it's essentially how it was originally intended to be. It's my personal favorite, but yeah, CV didn't translate well into 3D platforming.
@@MrJimmyTide My issue with LoD is that because they chose to release CV64 as a stripped down version of LoD, that LoD feels like a retread once it was actually released. On that note, I actually liked CV64 quite a bit more.
So beautiful.
Pq eu não me surpreendi
True.
Ué kkkkkk
volte aq e escute dnv, meu nobre...

The best track in Legacy of Darkness - an underrated N64 title to be sure.
The best track in any Castlevania game.
They added this song in Legacy of Darkness cos there was a lot of complaints of there not being enough classic Castlevania songs in Castlevania 64. They did a terrific job. Other themes are scattered throughout the soundtrack
they also improved the Camera

C64 intro is sn alternate version of Opposite Bloodlines
They made a song about a part of the castle falling into the abyss and turned It into a full on renaissance waltz- kudoz to them lol

Love this game so much, insanely underrated.
sadly it comes off regular CV64, so i don't blame people for thinking this one wasn't going to do anything either.
Legacy of Darkness expansion pack enhanced was a gem. I have a copy complete mint in box 😁
@@Michael-sg6cd treasure that gem because it is not going to see a remake at all, unless fans come together and do it themselves
@@Dark_Wolf0626 especially since Konami aint doin shit anymore XD
Hot take but I don't think AVGN's surprisingly shitty review of it a long time ago helped at all.
After all these years I still love this song.
This version of the song is easily the best version of the song. As well as one of the best songs in the series.
Circle of the Moon beats it.
If by 'best version' you mean the version you heard it first on, then yes. Objectively it's the CotM, hands down. That bassline added so much to it
That's Bloodlines sweetie.
I guess everyone hates bloodlines ;-;
Yay for objective opinions /s
God, I love this arrangement. Pure, undiluted Yamane goodness, and she didn't even work in this game.
Circle of the Moon's version was fine, just overused. Even the best songs grate on your ears when they overstay their welcome.
I’d argue that version is kind of awful compared to this and bloodlines, it just feels muddy.
@@Roninkinx Yeah, I see what you mean. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's awful, but it does grate on the ears after a bit of time.
I first played this game in like 2002, haven't forgotten how sick this song is since.
Best 3D Castlevania ever
This and Castlevania 64, yeah easily. I hated how they messed up the entire atmosphere in Lords of Shadow -.-
/\ YES!
Yup, still among my favorite games of all time, after many years.
I'm glad someone else liked the 3D Castlevanias. I honestly really liked Lord of shadows 1 could not wait for the second one...and then played it...wow hot garbage...but it was at least pretty I guess! This piece of music is one of my favorite songs to go back to from time to time.

Absolutely brilliant. The best version of this Castlevania gem hands down!
the art tower, the nostalgia.
song's a masterpiece!!!!! the best video game ever!!
This is the best version of this song.
This track exists now in restored quality using the original sample sources and it sounds so good I teared up. Look up OrangeC's latest videos, or paste the video ID into the search: frWCi7Qslwk
Glad to hear a remix from the amazing game that is Bloodlines. I wish I could play the 3D Castlevanias. :(
This was my favorite part of the game; solely for this music! I would purposely stall throughout this level just to listen.
I did the same thing! Anything to listen to this song longer!
True Castlevania in this song.
Criminally underrated
This was my first time I heard Sinking old Sanctuary
Mine was in Bloodlines
I remember playing Legacy of Darkness on hard and the woman posing in a dress was....uncovered! I thought, well this IS THE ART TOWER!
If Castlevania ever made A LIVE ACTION tv show, this would be the perfect intro theme. I know there is a Netflix version…
I wonder if this game's story could be adapted/fleshed out into a show, too? Then again, the "Hunter & Little Magician Girl" dynamic would perhaps be redundant, with the upcoming follow-up to the Netflix series.
Started playing in my head today
Es bellísimo amaba ese nivel junto a la torre de brujería con carrie y al tunnel con reinardht
i still play this game on my N64 and i love it
You’re a legend
aquí en México este juego de los mejores en su época,poca difusión,después muchos juegos le copiaron y los tienen como buenos. arte.miguelmix
Muy cierto
Vaya, es bueno saber que no era el único que jugaba esto
Desde que lo jugué (7 años de edad) me daba miedo, un año después agarré valor y acabé las 4 historias
Ahora es difícil conseguir esta maravilla
es un buen juego cuando lo vas pasando ya en estos niveles, el año pasado lo pase como 10 veces jaja, de alguna manera me gusto demasiado
From Italy: W Mexico❤
Es muy bueno.
This music and level (Castle Center) is never played in Cornell's story. Instead, it is Tower of Ruins. Which is absent from the playlist...
my childhood was surrounded by these classic soundtracks. i wish games today had this kinda music
Other than the soulsborne games, the rest sound so generic...
The only 3D Castlevania that keep the true feeling of the series, except ofc for the change of the hearts for crystals but still, awesome.
I just hate how Konami rushed developers to release the Cv64 and a lot of ideas stayed out in the beta, even characters...
Bullshit. The N64 titles are among the worst in the franchise including 3D
This is the best music
Who else here passed the whole game without dying? i Did!!!!!!!
I was looking for a game to start, I will finally take Castlevania Legacy of Darkness after almost 10 years of excuses.
set the playback at 1.5, it sounds like the same speed as castlevania circle of the moon!!
i played this game in 2003 (11 yo) and took me one week later to finish it
glad someone else is sharing my thoughts! thanks sir i loved both games too
Great arrangement of the Genesis game Bloodlines.
Now, I've confirmed it. Mt. Battle from Pokemon Colosseum sounds very close to this! I've listened to both, and they're very similar. :D
WoW! Is very good!
excellent
This freaking game was my childhood when I beat it for the first time I was so happy I felt like I did the impossible
@BastendorfEvergrass OK when I was 7 had no save pack and had to keep the console on it was difficult, especially when my sister just turned it off to annoy the living heck out of me
@BastendorfEvergrass i miss the challenges of my youth I wanna do it again
@BastendorfEvergrass true
good memories in this game

gran musica gran juego simpre mente genial
Out of the three versions I've heard, this is the best until a new version of this song comes around. :P
legit upset about the fact that this isn't a song in smash
I think they selected most of the good ones, but indeed there were some disappointing exclusions. I was really hoping to get a remix of Successor of Fate.
@@Laihoard1995 i wanted battle of the holy and big battle bit what we got is amazing
από τα πιο τρομακτικά castlevania παιχνίδια
This song Should Appeared on SSBU. what a shame
Good redemption for the original
Jammer dat deze mooie spellen nu onbetaalbaar zijn geworden, nooit gespeeld de eerste twee 3d Castlevanias op de n64, de ost klinkt in ieder geval subliem
It is, along with Goldeneye on the N64, they will never make them as good as them anymore, I grew up with those games.
Good game, I had no memory card when I was a kid until later, I would play the game all day and be depressed because I never went outside or talked to anyone, I don't know why it never occured to me that I did not have to turn the console off. Every time I turned it off, it was start over from the beginning, so I have had my fair share of playthroughs of this game.
Right, but leaving it running for too long can be a problem. At least put a fan on it.
Luego apareció en circle of the moon
Aunque originalmente salio en Castlevania Bloodlines para el Genesis, despues en Legacy of Darkness y luego en Circle of the Moon.
好きすぎる
感動するわ！
It is really upsetting how underestimated this game was.
Anyone listening to this in 2020, check out the GameBrass version!
The gba is my favourite
Será que mais alguém veio aqui do vídeo do Master Alucard?
You're forgetting Symphony Of The Night
OMG!!! I was literally thinking to myself "I think I've heard this on SOTN in the inverted Library I believe" and had been looking to see if anyone else noticed and looking to see if it was the same song. I was driving myself crazy here!! Lol. I even had two tabs open... one from the 64 LOD and the PS1 SOTN and going back and forth listening and thought I heard the same tune.
gran juego de esta serie,pero poco valorado.
Really love this version!血族的原版很悠扬，而这版则是庄严肃穆。
castlevania 64 also legacy also both games i dont care if you say no
Is not overlooked, some people(including myself) can't simply overlook clumpsy controls and crappy camera. It not just breaks but KILLS the inmersion. It doesn't stop me of appreciating the AMAZING soundtrack, though.

And clumsy combat is still clumsy.
Joyita
Jogo top.
😍😍😍
the second one woooo
Sounds like Order of Ecclesia.
True, castlevania games nintendo 64 not the best but they have something in their favor, the atmosphere and the scenarios
I like this version, is really beautiful, but i preffer the version tht comes in Circle of the Moon, the main melody in bass is just badass.
Probably the best version ever made of this song
My body that was slim like this is now long gone... I must turn back into a werewolf... Preferably with long legs. ehehehe....
❤️❤️❤️🦇🌕🏰❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's a bold claim.
I'm not saying it's a bad game, actually I haven't even played this, so maybe I should.
Anyone know where to find proper sheet music for this version?
AngelThump af
sunken
I'm not seeing any games that actually take time to make a Master Piece Soundtrack to a Master piece Game (sigh)
Never really got into that one im afraid.
Cotm the best. Fact.
Vampires Dawn 2
This > Bloodlines > COTM
nah, CoTM is the best, this is too slow. >Bloodlines, maybe
I just prefer this piece being orchestrated.
+I GUARANTEE IT Same here.
Psych. I meant LOS that ost....don't lynch me.
Sorry bud but the original soundtracks and storyline beats Lords of Shadows out of the park...
Sorry bud, but since the LOS OST has literally won "Best of" awards, I'm going to have to say that, due to evidence, your (subjective) stance has been disproven.
Jorge Ezeta Sorry your opinion is wrong.
It's a fact compare Soundtracks of classic to modern.
Indeed
I must say that the soundtracks of this game are beautiful perphaps the gameplay was bit awful because of the camera angles but the music is just beautiful
Yeah the music is top notch. The game would be really good with modern camera/controls, the level design is pretty cool.
Sorry, but I disabree. Sure, it's an improvement, but, truth to be told, it's still not a good game.
The original is crap, this is just disapointment. And no, I'm not willing to "overlook the game's flaws", because Castlevania has done VASTLY better, to the point the quality standards of both games are practically an insult to the franchise.

I still have my Nintendo 64 too had it since I was a little girl now it will make about 12 or more years!!!!
The song is in the time signature of 3/4, which is what a Waltz is played/danced to. Understandable that you'd be reminded of a ball.
To me it still feels like you're underwater, like it did in the Atlantis level from Bloodlines
Originated in Bloodlines and got remade in Circle of the moon
This song never gets old for me.
I feel this game is so overlooked.
I mean c'mon it has some fucking great moments!
One of my favourite theme. Just learned to play on piano.
I don't think I've ever found another game with this quality of atmosphere and music. I would really like to find another game with a soundtrack like this.
The original is from the Megadrive/Genesis episode Castlevania Bloodline, one of the best piece made by Michiru Yamane.
It was reused a 3rd time for Circle of the Moon but for too many stages
@@andrewkang7157 I like the CoTM version, but yeah, it is used for like 70% of the castle lol
@@MeatCobainGaming absolutely, I mean all versions of that song are ace. It needs to come back for a future installment.
nostalgia anyone?
Konami should bring back this game remastered for next gen consoles
you know the creator said that this series would be discontinued :\
reworked like Crash Bandicoot
ACO4683MX they'll probably remaster is for pachinko knowing them
+ketchupkatsup Unfortunately, you're probably right.
I wish that they had not released Castlevania 64, and instead just waited another year and then released this game as Castlevania 64. It's a great game that never got out of the shadow of it's poor predecessor.
i don't care what anybody says, this game is fucking great and i love it
Castlevania is one of the best video games ever made I hope they finally make more.🏰🏯
This version surpasses in all aspects to gba version
Would the ost itself be unique?
I like this but the original bloodlines version on Genesis will always be my favorite
You're comparing a GBA with a N64 ?
Castlevania 64, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness you will forever be my favorite games out of the series
@@AH-ng7zt Right? The n64 games are decent but c'mon. Even Castlevania NES is better.
