#botw ost

[eiochevart]

So I’m working on a lil botw music project

Basically I’ve heard many people complain that this game has no real overworkd theme, so I tried to imagine what it would’ve sounded like. It’s not done yet, and very experimental, so bear with me here.

I tried to combine the minimalistic texture of the original soundtrack, but still adding more “action”. I’ve clearly used leitmotifs from the Hyrule castle theme, mainly to represent how despite the open world and countless side quests, the calamity is always looming in the background. Thinking of incorporating more leitmotifs into the song, possibly something representing the Stables and Riding tracks.

Also huh headphones warning???? This is rlly loud because I messed up the mixing big time… make sure to turn down your volume lol

Botw winning almost every award it was nominated and winning goty vs. Totk only winning one and losing goty

#loz #totk #botw #ppl thought it would win best art direction and ost as if most of that didnt come from botw #a little satisfied bc baldur gates desearves it and also totk shouldnt win as it tries to hit botws beats but worse #idk there were recent interviews on how they think ppl are still talking about the game even though ppl and youtubers noticed a lack of- #interest #I keep seeing how many ppl are disappointed in it even tho of course it has a lot of fans still #its just not keeping interest and the ppl that do talk its negative #compared to botw and baldurs gate where interest stayed up and people still praise them

* edit to clarify: by OST I mean the soundtrack as a whole rather than one specific song

Ppl get so pissed that botw and totk's music isn't "iconic" enough like the older games, but like

*grabbing you*

Look me dead in the eye and tell me you want to hear the exact same 1 to 3 minute loop of notes over and over and over for several hours while you're trying to do literally anything at all.

Like- completionists, you're going to all the shrines [120 in botw, 152 in totk], collecting all the korok seeds [900 in botw, 1000 in totk], doing side quests, finishing your hyrule compendium and so on. That takes a long ass time, do you really want to hear a song you might not even like for a minimum of 190 hours?

Botw and Totk are very audio focused games in terms of gameplay anyway. The devs put a lot of effort into the sound design of the game. How are you supposed to feel like you're sneaking through a dangerous area when you have a constant tune playing in your ears 24/7.

Besides, with how sparse the main overworld music is, it makes the parts of the game that have actual songs in it count so much more. Instead of having constant noise and 1 or 2 songs that stand out, now you have more impact because the music kicks in when its important for it to be there.

Ik people were probably gonna hate the botw/totk ost if it was like the older games anyway because of those points. So it's a double-edged sword, but the way the ost is now? It's supposed to be like that. It fits the format, the sound design, and the length of the game. Which was the point.

#going off on a ranty tangent purely bc i hate when ppl complain abt the botw & totk ost #could it have been better? sure why not #but as much as i love lost woods and whatever #if i had to hear a similar song for several hours without being able to turn it down or turn it off. i wouldn't like the song anymore #“uhm axcually it sucks because they didn't make good music. its just a few notes on a piano most of the time☝️🤓” SHUT UP #there are worse songs in the older iconic games than the entirety of the botw/totk ost #ppl hate the Keaton music from majoras mask. ik theres like- 2 or 3 songs people hate from oracle of ages #and yeah sure the blight ganon's songs were samey samey and boring but the emotional connection 2 the champions made up 4 it #but then the wind fire water and lightning temples came along and fucking killed it #so like- fuckin- go be pissed abt literally anything else #the ost fits the game #botw #totk #elliot rambles

Never trust a hoe who claims BOTW has a bad OST 🚩

#fires posts #ramblings #botw #the botw ost isn't my favourite. In fact it's not even close #but to say there's nothing of value in there is just straight up a lie #''booo ambient piano sucks'' I'm going to kick you #just say you hate atmosphere and have no taste and go

Zelda reference? In my Tango episode? It’s more likely than you think!

Tango, season 9 episode 39!

[Video description/transcript:

Tango is in the first level of Decked Out, specifically the Frozen Crypt (I think that’s what he called it). He walks between the stairs down to level two and the statue of someone kneeling.

Tango: One thing I think I definitely need to do though, is when they drop the key in here? I’m-I’m- I mean- we obviously, right? We have to play the Zelda noise, the-

Tango does an out of tune version of the classic Zelda ‘secret get’ sound. I’m yet to check but I think he’s one note short.

Tango: you know, that.

The camera changes to his favourite low, third person perspective.

Tango: Listen, I can’t make the tune, but you know what I’m sayin’!

End transcript]

Also this is the tune he was trying to do:

#i am not beating the tangotek allegations anytime soon i love zelda #one of the only times my 2 years of listening to the botw and ss ost comes in handy #the other is the zelda heardle. im very good at it #tango but everywhere #hermitcraft #hc9 #tangotek #tango tek #tell me why i autopilot wrote ‘tango two’ there #tango clip #Youtube

Shocked and amazed at how good the music for Tears of the Kingdom is. I just finished the Water Temple and I loved how it had elements of different songs, but especially how it included parts of Skyward Sword's Faron Woods.

#I wasn't the biggest fan of botw's ost so I'm extremely happy with totk's #There's so many nods to different tunes from all the games and it makes me so happy #Loz totk #Loz totk spoilers #Loz tears of the kingdom #Loz skyward sword

One of the best feelings is finishig a really good game (with a really good emotional story) and after the end cutscene, the end credits slowly come in and you are there for the next 7 mins just marinating in the feel of such a good game, unable to do anything but listen to the music in the credits

#(currently finishing listening to the aoc ost and just thinking about all the games i love) #video games #i do a little ramble #the legend of zelda #loz #botw #aoc #sksw

[rawliverandgoronspice]

okay but rethinking about the colgera bossfight theme and it's so GOOD WHAT HOW

#totk #totk spoilers #honestly the ost is so freakin solid #I feel like it really pushes botw's to really cool new heights #the disconstructed instrumental vocal motif is soooo good #especially given it both evokes the zonai and ganondorf #ganon's distortions like a twisted version of the voices in the light shrine ending that evoke a chorus of sonia and rauru #there's a ton of depth to a lot of the new tracks in terms of musical language and references and stuff #the story the music tells is like.... deeper than the actual story imo

[rararasputins-dick-mind-control]

the theme for retrobeat in sv styling star goes so hard why doesnt nintendo ever release game osts anywhere

#style savvy styling star #does anyone even know this game #ive never seen anyone talk about it ever lmao #hoenstly tho a lot of tracks in those games are good #the retrobeat store track is my favorite tho #seriously tho why isnt any nintendo game ost on spotify or anything like not even totk or botw #how can you make such beautiful music and confine it to its game #rather than share it with the world #:( #ilove picking out peoples outfits tho #they put their trust completely in my hands #will i make them beautiful or will i make them look goofy as hell

The overworld music in TOTK has been making me very emotional. I have to keep just standing and listening. I especially love this theme for the geoglyphs ❤️
