I was just confused by the Rito's presence in Windwaker. Here we've got a world overtaken by water with only the highest peaks (and... dice?) poking above the surface and the series's famous amphibious race has evolved into... bird people. Like guys, this was your time to shine 😂

Zelda music always has a unique feel to it. It often reinforces a catchy motiff without it getting repetitive due to conveying tone and emotion, as well as just being arranged, so so well. And well, dragon roost Island has stayed iconic for like 20 years so I suppose it works

> "How is this game?" Wind Waker was an INCREDIBLY polarising title when it came out back in 2002. It was the first 3D Zelda since Majora's Mask, and given the direction that game took compared to Ocarina of Time, a lot of the fans were expecting to see Zelda move more into a grittier, more realistic style. This was reinforced back at Space World 2000 (a Nintendo convention) where they teased a Zelda tech demo with a more realistic Link fighting Ganondorf. So it felt like a stab in the back to see this extremely cartoony "kiddie" version of Zelda release at the time. That absolutely changed once people actually got their hands on the game though, Wind Waker is quite possibly one of the most 'true' Zelda's out there, easily in a majority of players top 5, if not their favourite outright. And that goes to the adventure, the characters, and the story presented in the game, rather than just the art style. And that number only grew with the amazing HD port that released on the Wii U, which improved the visuals and lot of quality of life aspects in the game, bringing even more fans to the game and the franchise.

I'm glad you brought up the GameCube demo, because my eyes were glued to the Zelda franchise at that time, it was an obsession. Watch the video of its premier and everyone LOSES THEIR MIND when the Zelda clip came on, myself included (sad fact, the first guy I was ever attracted to was Link). That was what we expected after the realistic N64 titles, and then Toon Link came out of left field. It did redeem itself, especially after the remaster when they shrunk the distance between islands, but I have to admit I was pretty bummed until Twilight Princess 😂

Still one of my favorite Zelda jams to this very day. I had the special Zelda collection disc that was a preorder bonus for GameCube. I was... a 5 year old? Anyways this song left an impression on me. In that collection disc, there was a 20-minute Wind Waker demo. There were three sections of the game that they let you play, and one of them was Dragon Roost. ...Well, the process of sailing to Dragon Roost, which took a few minutes in itself. By the time I would reach the island, I would only have a bit of time to explore it. I'd keep playing the demo over and over trying to see how far I could get, so as a result this song has basically etched its way into my psyche and won't let go. Same with the Great Sea theme, which Jesse will also hear at some point I'm sure.

Also, Wind Waker is fantastic! It's probably in my top 5 Zeldas. There was a lot of cut content in there that would have probably made it rank higher for me; because of that it does feel like a shorter adventure than most Zelda games. The original released on GameCube, and we got an HD remake of TWW back in 2013. Holy shit it's already been almost ten years since the REMAKE came out. What the hell man.

This song is very influenced by "música andina" . Sounds from the Andes mountain range (cordillera de los Andes) in South America. It has pan flute, the strumming instruments definitely sounds like a Charango (a ukelele-like instrument, more strings, different key). If you like this sounds check out traditional peruvian, north-chilean and bolivian music. Some of theses influences has crossed over and further popularized into pop by artist like Gepe, Inti-Illimani, Los Jaivas and the legendary postpunk band Los Prisioneros in their hit song "Tren al Sur".

Wind Waker was the first Zelda game I can remember playing, it and Twilight Princess are both my favourites in the series. Praying they get ported to Switch so I can play them again. To give a little context for the song - Wind Waker's game world is one of a large number of islands of varying size, that you travel between using the small boat you see on the game's cover. Dragon Roost island is home to the Rito tribe, who are humanoid bird people that also run a postal service. The island is also home to a volcano, atop which is perched a dragon god/spirit named Valoo. Some other tracks from Wind Waker I love are Outset Island, Molgera's theme, The Great Sea (usually preceded by Dawn in the game, which is also great but very short), the mini boss theme, Forest Haven, and last but by no means least - the main theme of the game / staff roll that plays over the end credits (this one makes me tear up when I listen to it now, fond memories)

Wind Waker just has a great soundtrack all around. Gamecube was early 2000s yeah and I think this game was 2003. It got a Wii U HD release as well and I'm still holding out hope for a Switch release... Wind Waker is a great game and very charming, but it had somewhat of a rocky reception because of the change in art style when fans were wanting more realistic looks like Ocarina of Time. These days though it's pretty loved.

When it comes to Zelda Music youre gonna see some overlap in songs amongst the games. a Leitmotif mutation style that keeps the series fresh but remaining ever so much on brand. Hyrule Castle, Zoras, Gorons, Zelda, Gerudos, theres many overlapping concepts throughout the series with their own unique cultural fingerprints on the music of the series that make music so distinctly zelda. that is to say the zelda series isnt just limited to its various overlapping concepts there are many excellently done one off tracks amongst the various games. im just pointing out that there are many versions of seemingly the same track but each game brings with it a new lens and a new flavor as to your question about Wind Waker, its often lotted as one of the best games in the series for its music, its vibrant, colorful, cellshaded simulated waterpaint sort of art style, its overall upbeat and adventurous atmosphere, and its at the time seemingly endless amount of exploration by way of the great ocean that permeates the environment of the setting. the story containing many emotional highs and lows, its presentation heightening and contrasting to great effect. Currently the 2 ways to play it are via Gamecube 2002 or via the remaster that released for the Wii U in 2018(?) the gamecube version may more easily be accessible compared to the latter but the Wii U version imo is superior in almost every way and the fans have spared no second begging nintendo for a switch port

Highly recommend a playthrough of Ocarina of Time (and Majora's Mask). Koji Kondo graced those games with his magic touch. Wind Waker is a great game btw. Its a very incredible game. Not my favorite of the 3D's...probably mid-tier? But its Zelda so a mid tier zelda game is still better than 99% of games lmao. The soundtrack is pretty strong too. Also pretty mid-tier.

The theming for Zelda games - in terms of music anyway - is more based on the overall theme of the game. The Spanish influence is very prominent through a lot of the OST because the core feature of the game is exploring a wide open sea, complete with pirates and the like, so the OST kinda leans into the Spanish influence to kind of harken back to the golden age of Spanish exploration in the Carribean. And honestly, not standing out is kind of Koji Kondo's whole... thing, if that makes sense. Ever since the first Mario on the NES, he's focused on stuff that stick in the mind, but not get annoying to listen to on repeated loops. Something he still very much brings to the table in terms of hub areas since you are going to spend a lot of time in Dragon Roost. Also the "Only for Gamecube" is kind of outdated now. It's been remastered for Wii U... though a Switch release is mia.

So to answer your question about the reception to the game: when it came out, it was pretty polarizing. People didn't like the art style, and the way you traverse the overworld rubbed some people the wrong way. It has since then had a resurgence in people liking it, though I don't think that resurgence is quite as intense as the resurgence of love for Majora's Mask was. This game has some of the best songs in the Zelda series, though, so if get recommended more, you're in for a treat.

You’ve *got* to play Zelda games. Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask are such amazing games, as are most of the games. I hear Gerudo Valley and get taken right back to that desert canyon, Dragon Roost Island brings back that cell-shaded goodness, Skyloft hits me with that good good nostalgia, and Breath of the Wild’s main theme is always accompanied by those first steps out of the Cave of Resurrection when you first see the game world. And, of course, it would be heresy not to mention Hyrule Castle from A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds or the main theme of the original. I highly recommend A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, or Skyward Sword as your first Zelda game. ALttP solidified the Zelda formula, OoT is one of the best games of all time, Wind Waker is just fun and colorful, and Skyward Sword has Groose.

Wind Waker was the subject of a huge amount of controversy when it came out back in 2002. Ocarina of Time was considered *the* greatest game ever made, everyone was starving for the next Zelda, and Nintendo had released a demo of the Gamecube's capabilities at SpaceWorld 2000 using even more "realistic", detailed graphics and models. Imagine the shock around the world when Nintendo announced the next Zelda would look like Wind Waker instead of the Lord of the Rings. People were *furious*. Between Wind Waker and the new console war Nintendo found itself in with Sony after the 64DD debacle (that's a whole other story), Nintendo was cemented as the "kiddy" games maker once more. It only got worse after WW was received, because the game was notoriously easy. Only long after Twilight Princess was released and everyone got their Ocarina of Time But More did WW start shedding its reputation a little bit. It's still very easy, but every Zelda game from it to Skyward Sword had the same problem, only finally losing that stigma with Breath of the Wild, which was a huge shock to the system on about every conceivable level for the series, and with the general shift in culture away from that of the 90s and 00s. Anyway, Wind Waker has largely been rediscovered as a flawed gem with a metric fuckton of Vibes, Dragon Roost being one of them. There's a kind of melancholy under WW's tropical surface, because the game is quite heavily about letting go of something you can never have back, and accepting that things will be different from now on.

You'll get a mixed bag of opinions for pretty much every Zelda game, because like the music, the games are kinda all over the place in terms of feel, but Wind Waker (especially nowadays) is very positively regarded as a whole, with some even calling it the best in the series (subjective, I know). For this song specifically, "Dragon Roost Island" I think buries the lead a bit for the actual island experience, bc the main draw of the place is actually that it's the home of a race of peaceful and proud bird-people who revere the dragon living at the peak as a deity. 8bit Music Theory puts it pretty well in one of his videos I think, this song doesn't feel like it was written to tell a particular story or even necesarily to set a certain mood -- it's just a solid tune showcasing what Koji Kondo does best: maximizing the absolute crap out of simple elements and figures. To rant about the franchise for a bit, Zelda and I have a unique relationship -- I LOVE Zelda and have for years, but I'm at the younger end of the age group that actually grew up with the hallmark titles like Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, etc. I just barely missed the N64 era; my first console was the Wii, so my entry point was Twilight Princess, and I played it at a time where older generation games being regularly ported to modern consoles wasn't gonna be A Thing for another ten-ish years but also I didn't have the know-how to properly emulate, so I GORGED myself on lore and "Top Ten Zelda Whatever" lists, getting everything second hand by way endlessly listening to the music, reading Hyrule Historia, and watching content creators gushing about the story and gameplay. So now I'm at the point where I can talk about the whole franchise on every level except firsthand experience, but a lot of convos with fans who grew up the games tend to be one-sided without that childhood relatability. And on the other hand, because I have all this story knowledge already, I also can't be a part of this kind of "rennaisance" going on right now where people like Point Crow, Quin Bo Bin, Deebeegeek, etc. are discovering the franchise for the first time, bc I already "know" the games. "Intimidating" I think is a very understandable word to use here, you can only really get that childhood nostalgia once, and that does occasionally come with some elitism/gatekeeping. The fandom's pretty good overall though, SUPER robust art/remixes+fan music/cosplay community. Thx for sitting through my essay lol, but Zelda is super special to me and I don't feel like I meet a lot of people in the same boat as me (no pun intended given the game here) plus I felt like the convo going on after the song was over provided an opportunity to share a potentially unique perspective. Super excited to see what you have on your plate next!

Personally I think this is the best track in Wind Waker Other Zelda tracks to check out are Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask and Ballad of the Wind Fish from Link's Awakening.

I recommend Lorule Castle from Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds which actually wasn’t done by Koji Kondo but the Legend of Zelda has some amazing music and actually Dragon Roost Island was my favorite music from the game when I first played the remake on the Wii U

This game was so hated when it was first revealed. I remember people were calling the graphics “kiddy” at the time. Little did they know that this would go on to become one of the most loved installments in the series.

Wind Waker is great, all Zelda games are, in many ways Wind Waker is closer to the more adventure and exploration fokussed 2D games than the more linear and story focussed games that came before and after it, it has a unike cell shadet look and sticks out amongst the darker games of the N64 era and Twilight Princess, that is by no means bad it is still a wonderfull tale with a unike ocean setting and way more exploration than the other games (with the exception of breath of the wild). Id say its the thierd best out of the 3D games only bested by Majoras Lask and Twilight Princess, however thats just my opinion.

How come its always so strange to hear someone say "I've never played a Mario game, or a Zelda game" maybe it has to do with being quintessential to gaming as a whole; building foundations in their genres for most games to build off since then. But when I say "Oh I've never bothered playing a Halo, Uncharted, Call of Shooty" it doesn't even sound unheard of...

Going to the complete opposite spectrum of Zelda music, should react to Dark Beast Ganon from Breath of the Wild.

It's not Zelda but if you want more awesome Nintendo music you should check out Lower Brinstar from Super Metroid and Bryyo Cliffside from Metroid Prime 3.

This might be an interestingly weird opinion, but I think Wind Waker easily takes best Zelda soundtrack. There isn't a single song that you think about skipping if you listen to the WHOLE ost. Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, and Link to the past have better iconic songs, but Wind Waker is a consistent 9/10 the whole way through.

Windwaker? Good game. Too much water. Do not assume the cel-shading means it's happy and cheery. It gets pretty dark at times.

Wind Waker was a good game, but I feel like it was one of the weaker 3D Zeldas. It had some cool ideas but was brought down a bit by the repetitive Triforce Quest in lategame, as well as some of the easiest dungeons in the series. Some fans love it, but I just like it.

My honest opinion, you should get a switch and play Zelda, from breath of the wild. This is not related to your music project. It’s just a good game.

Personal opinion time :D I would say other than majoras mask twilight princess windwaker most of the zelda games age more rapidly than you would think they would. Playing ocarina of time in 2022 for the first time would be such an irritating endeavor. Link to the past is incredibly basic. Links awakening got a remake, and i love the game, it was one of the first i played, but that game is GLARINGLY short and simple. Skyward sword was considered a pretty average game, and the remake didnt exactly change the world for anyone. Windwaker i would say is pretty well liked now and might be in lots of peoples top 3-5. The style choice wasnt most peoples cup of tea at the time, but WWlink in motion has a lot of character. Probably the most expressive link has ever been since most other links are pretty straight up blank canvases. Most 3d zelda games have been remade at least once, and while the original windwaker was fine but could be annoying, its remake tends to have lots of features that make returning to it now, so much easier and changes portions of the game to flow better. So overall, people probably like windwaker
