Music Appreciation Post: Majora's Theme

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still holding out for a Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask remake, similar to the fashion in which Nintendo remade Ocarina of Time for the 3DS (see The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D). I was thinking about this earlier when I got to thinking of how good the music is in Zelda games. Each and every one of them has some absolutely fantastic orchestral arrangements (thanks to composer Koji Kondo), which I find myself looking up on YouTube on a consistent basis. In order to highlight in particular Majora's Mask, and its rather dark and mysterious nature, I've linked above to Majora's Theme. This song does a great job of portraying the kind of vibe Majora's Mask gives off while you are playing through the story. If you've never had the pleasure of playing this game before, I highly recommend you give it a try as it is one of the greatest and most unique video games of all time. It is available for purchase through the Virtual Console if you own a Nintendo Wii or Wii U, is included on The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (along with a myriad of other Zelda titles) for the Nintendo Gamecube, or if you happen to be a computer-savvy individual you can easily download and emulate it on your home computer for free (read: not advocating piracy here just listing the options).

Thanks for reading! Give this song a listen, and give this game a try, you won't regret it!!

  1. OMG OBSESSSSED! I've been obsessed with TLOZ since the very original NES game. I used to play Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask like it was my job. My boyfriend & I are such nerds that we even watch videos on YouTube of orchestral arrangements of Zelda songs. A+++
