| Fancy something Zelda-ish as we wait for that most obvious week? Course ya do! (Suggestion to Drunka: leave it 'til week 150? Big week, big big game...) GNamer Music Indeterminate Time Period 147: Hyrule Warriors FeetHyrule Warriors LegendsMolgera  I've barely played the Wii U game, and have never played this 3DS version, but I had to appreciate this in its own week. One of the greatest Zelda themes ever, and they've managed not to cock it up. Bravo, Tecmo Koei/Koei Tecmo, bravo. I also love what they've done with the main Zelda theme for Linkle. It's so happy! |

| Can do if you want. I was just going to wait until the next time I wasn't working, was alone, and wasn't overcome by physical exhaustion and an overwhelming sense of lethargy and despair. Some time in 2060 or so.
That Linkle music is lovely! I didn't play a lot of the 3DS version, but I love the Warriors guitarrification of the Zelda soundtrack overall. |

| I know Drunka's got the official week thing, but any chance of a repeat of the Sun and Moon list and comparisons? The variety of lists and critiquing was a ton of fun |

| I try to listen to and feed back on every piece of music in this thread! I just don't always have a lot to say about 'em... But I will absolutely feed back on any lists thrown at me, apart from where I'm worried about being spoiled. |

| Also, it's pretty much just us three who get involved in them so putting too much stock in "this week, that week" is kinda silly and pretentious. Let's just share musix |

| Music Week 148
Mash-up Week I don't know if you've heard, but I quite like a videogame series called Monster Hunter, or MonHan, or that game where you kill the fuck out of monsters and its on a Nintendo console and that's weird because they're normally family friendly and not into killing but here you kill the fuck out of them. In fact, I like Monster Hunter so much that Jas, Jay, Andy and I do a podcast about it called Monster Mash which you should all subscribe to on itunes and give a 5-star rating and review to  Anyway, LISTEN (to some music) YOU CUNTS!
5: Proof of a Hero The main theme of the Monster Hunter series, it's just so epic and heroic! Especially with those excitement-building strings at the start, it reminds me of the classic Superman theme. Cropping up in every game, normally in the title and end credits and cinematics and stuff, and sometimes cleverly worked into the theme music of boss monsters. Here it is being played masterfully by the Monster Hunter 5th Anniversary Orchestra. 4: Zinogre Noble wolf Zinogre has a theme tune that is just classic action music, y'know? Exciting and cool and gets stuck in your head, it suits the fast-paced, aggressive fighting style of the Zinogre. This was a popular favourite theme in the community for a long time and is beloved of our own Jaster. It suits this guitar cover well. 3: Kushala Daora There's something very cool and ethereal about this dragon's music, and it suits the wind-controlling monster perfectly. Perhaps it's just that I don't get to fight him that often, but I love this guy's track. There's a melody in there which reminds me of a Bond theme, as well. Here's a piano cover by friend of the show Wolfy Melon. 2: Mizutsune Konbanwa! Mizutsune wa Nihon des! Arigato gozaimash! Wolfy Melon-san! 1: Cooking What a track! I love it. The tune that comes into my head whenever I'm frying up something soooo tasty. Bonkers acoustic version. Umm.
Next week time, your admin who's never badmin Mr Zero Jones will giving you a triple threat of Zelda goodness from Triforce Heroes. After that is week 150 from yours truly. |

As you say - pure action. Unfortunately I'm not really one for pure action unless it's got something more to it, an ongoing theme I notice: you blokeys post some epic music, usually from a Pokémon endgame or something, and I can't remember it after I've heard it.  - Drunkalilly wrote:

'Cool and ethereal'? I guess, with the chimes, but when it started off I thought it was going to be top fat man-chasing music. - Drunkalilly wrote:

...yeah, I like this one. Massive musical weeaboo here. - Drunkalilly wrote:

 Most of the MonHun soundtrack doesn't seem to be my kettle of giant homicidal fish: it's music that goes on in the background, never a main focus. Apart from this, which is why I like it. Lovely little jingle. (But not quite this is it?  ) |

| Proof of a hero will always remind me of fighting Jhen Mohran, feels absolutely amazing hearing it kick up a notch when you hit the beast with a dragonator.  |

| While we wait for Music Time Thingy 149 to emerge from the brain of Dr. Jones, a tough question for y'all: what Zelda has the best music?For me it's between Majora, WW, and TP, but I'd struggle to choose between them. Possibly WW for the Great Sea and Dragon Roost, but Midna's Lament, Stone Tower, Oath to Order... acht.  |

| Skyward Sword. As soon as Ballad of the Goddess came on at the symphony, I was bawling my eyes out. Then on the opposite end of the spectrum, you've got the almighty Groose. |

| The best remix of Guzma's battle theme. Partly because it's still got the lyrics. Mostly because it's bloody stupid. |

| My gut answer on reading that question was Wind Waker, but thinking about it, Link's Awakening would be up there too. It's got a real charm to it through the plinky-plonky nature of the Game Boy (read: you'll fucking hate it Balla) and the tracks are generally great. The Wind Fish theme is, as one JayMoyles said on the latest Monster Mash about a totally different track, a certified banger. |

| Yup! After being told that a certain recent track (it is a secret to everybody which one) contains the Ballad of the Wind Fish, I tried to give it a listen. Dear God my ears.  |

| It's shrill, I'll give you that. That version you linked to is pants though - I was more on about this version. Your ears might enjoy that more. It sounds really good remixed though - case in point. I've no idea why they've tagged it as being in Brawl. It actually starts sounding like something from a Pokémon game at points! |

| That version's definitely better, although the soundfont remains a point not in its favour for me - the remixed version's definitely the best of the three! |

| GNamer Music Indeterminate Time Period 149: Heroes That Tri To Use ForceThe Legend Of Zelda: Tri Force HeroesComing from left-field, Tri Force Heroes is a bit of an oddity in the Zelda series. Games where several Links are on-screen are not new, to be sure, but the have-a-go structure and online multiplayer is something a bit different. To the jeukebox! [/stealthFrenchpunsortof] Eight) Main Theme  The title screen may not be the best place to get tuneage from, ordinarily, but I reckon this piece hints at some of the whimsy the game has in store for you. Seven) Village Hub  Last time I got in on this act, I put what was basically the hub level in at seven. And here we go again!  Perhaps too repetitive for its own good - particularly when spun out to thirty minutes by some gallant YouTuberino - it nonetheless reminds me of exploring a curious village, perhaps with a boy who can talk to animals in tow... Six) Woodlands Theme  First World Alert! Jaunty enough, gets one in the mood to bad some ass and solve some mazes. And/Or other puzzles that need a-solvin'. Five) Riverside  From the creepy there emerges something that is merely haunting. Four) Tailor  Did someone order more whimsy? ... No? Dang, I need to wash my ears out. This mad little number plays in the - yes! - tailor's in the village. Dressing for success is the key to succe-winning. Winning. Yes. Three) Success In A Level  Enough whimsy! I want jauntiness - give me jauntiness! Two) High In The Sky Go I  One of the later worlds has you solving some pretty hard tasks to this tune. It nearly makes things partially bearable. One) Fighting Hinox  Some of the boss fight themes are crazy, but few go as far as this one. Hinoxes are those cyclops guys that like to throw bombs at you. Fighting them in single-player is a nightmare... but then, much of the game is a nightmare in single-player. Play with friends! Play online! This is just a flavour of the strength of songage in Tri Force Heroes - I encourage you to get exploring. Y'know, if you like. If you're not too busy. And that. |

| Woo, thanks Zero! It's precisely that lack of local friends with TFH, or with a desire to play TFH, that means this is probably the closest I'll get to playing it...  - Reactions:
- ZeroJones wrote:
- Eight) Main Theme
TFH in 'better than BotW' shock! Regarding this one specific area. Also: what would have played in Frenchy Bird, had it been any good. - ZeroJones wrote:
- Seven) Village Hub
...this is going to be an accordion-fest, isn't it? Not sure what village you're talking about there. Luke here, you can lay-it-on me... - ZeroJones wrote:
- Six) Woodlands Theme
This is actually the first tune this 'week' that sounds like Zelda to me! It's very folksy, perhaps that's the overall theme rather than the accordion? Anyway, I love fiddle music, so it's alright by me. - ZeroJones wrote:
- Five) Riverside
Where'd all the folksy fun go Zero? This is nice stuff, good and ethereal (and more violin is always good), but you'd barely know it came from the same game! - ZeroJones wrote:
- Four) Tailor
...this, on the other hand, definitely comes from the same game. Good fun, reminds me of the Maiamai tune from ALBW. It'll probably become a rather irritating earworm if I listen to much more, though, so on I go. - ZeroJones wrote:
- Three) Success In A Level
Whereas this reminds me of MOO MOO MEADOWS! Folksiest tune yet, pure happy fiddle. - ZeroJones wrote:
- Two) High In The Sky Go I
Sounds like I'm better off just listening to the tune, which is... I dunno how to describe it. 'Oh oh ooooooh', perhaps? Yes that'll do. - ZeroJones wrote:
- One) Fighting Hinox
I genuinely laughed! This is hilarious stuff!
Mate I'm so glad you did this week, with the exception of 5 this is a selection of really good fun unremittingly cheerful tracks. It's not really Zelda, but it's absolutely great. Good stuff.  |

| I really enjoyed the one session of Triforce Heroes I managed to organise with a pair of friends. A shame we never organised any forum sessions, really. I am enjoying these tunez though - ZeroJones wrote:
Eight) Main Theme
Yer man Zero sums it up well. Obvious hints of classic Zelda title theme stuff, but with a very fun twist that suits the multiplayer hijinks. - Quote :
- Seven) Village Hub
...that's super Professor Layton. - Quote :
- Six) Woodlands Theme
That one is cash. Reminds me a lot of the Nintendoland Zelda game. - Quote :
- Five) Riverside
There's a nice curry house near me called the Riverside. I would be disinclined to eat there with this music playing- reminds me of spookier Pokémon locations. - Quote :
- Four) Tailor
This one I remember! The tailor and the whimsy and the dress-up absolutely made this game. Totally beat Breath of the Wild to the cross-dressing Link punch. Even better is the version when you look in the mirror. Robbed of the number one spot! - Quote :
- Three) Success In A Level
Two) High In The Sky Go I Very standard Zelda- normally my jam, but I prefer the sillier stuff from this soundtrack. - Quote :
- One) Fighting Hinox
This is a great mix of quality, exciting boss music and Triforce Heroes weirdness. Great pick! |

| This thread is nearing its end, creeping towards the 1k mark where the admins. will brutally cull it. So, I have a simple yet tricky question for y'all: what are your top three/five/ten/however many soundtracks in Nintendo console gaming?In the spoiler below are my five, with my very favourite tune from each. Please, give me yours! We've got 45 posts to waste before Week 150! - Balla's top five:
5: Bravely Default (Baby Bird)  A somewhat underrated JRPG, overshadowed by its duff second half and its superior sequel, it still has an absolutely cracking soundtrack. I love all four of the special move themes, of which the above is one: but Athrun will talk to you for days about its boss themes. The final battle in particular. 4: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Destroyed Skyworld)  Perhaps a bit of a cheat, as it's more of a compilation in some ways, yet many of the tracks here are remade versions of retro classics, bringing old tracks kicking and screaming (and singing) into the modern day. There are a couple of duffers, and a lot of utter beauty. And then some you just didn't think could happen: I still can't believed they remixed Gerudo Valley and it worked! 3: Banjo-Kazooie (Mad Monster Mansion)  Grant Kirkhope is superlative. He did incredible, utterly incredible, thing with the simple MIDI instruments available to him. Jay may not like it much: can the rest of us all appreciate how bloody amazing his work is? Not to mention all the variants that play in different places in the levels. Man's a genius. 2: Super Mario Galaxy (Buoy Base Galaxy)  Needs no introduction. I'll not be the last to say this, either. Here's Battlerock. 1: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze(Windmill Hills)  No I'm not joking. I really think this has the best OST ever. A better OST than any 2D platformer has any right to have. It's so flaming good! The reason this tops SMG for me is that, while SMG does epic better than any other game, it doesn't really do anything else. (Okay maybe Space Junk.) DKCTF, on the other hand, can do epic, sure; but it can also do amazingly happy. You want calm? Gotcha covered. All-out action? Can do. Really tense with calmer bits? Not breaking a sweat here. And it does them all brilliantly.I won't stop going on about it. Not enough people experienced this game, for good enough reason: gameplay-wise, it was another 2D platformer on a machine that had loads of them and little else. But people really should experience the soundtrack. It's chuffing amazing.
Over to you please gents! |
