One issue still, it's too short.

I’ll never understand why Nintendo is now so averse to menu music. The Switch menu is silent, the eShop menu is silent, and now the menus of their two biggest Zelda games are silent. It makes no sense.

It's a thing that seems to plague a lot of the Switch. A severe lack of intros, silent title cards, etc. Pokémon Sword/Shield notably lacks an intro, BOTW and TOTKs title cards are extremely barebones, etc.

I have been struggling these last years with a triple licence, in two weeks it will be over. Exactly a year ago I was living my worst, most awful time in these licences. I had a very bad PC, which is now broken, but then I heard that the new Zelda was about to release, so I installed Breath of the Wild to see if it was true that it was one of the best games out there. Indeed. It is now my favourite game, and it helped me a lot during that shitty period of time. Playing it I was just calm, no one expected me to be something. And since a year my sole dream has been to finish the game. For a year the background noise of my late study nights has been BOTW ambiences. This is a glimmer of hope for me, cuz tomorrow my finals begin, and never mind the results: in two weeks I will start the game a new and this time I will finish it.

I think the menu music should change the more you progress in the game. At the start its just regular, silence and some weird noises to fuel the spooky and mysterious feeling the trailer gives, then the menu music gets more detailed and calming/fun with more features to add to the sense of "progression" in the game.

I love that it sounds calming and scary at the same time. As if this is what death sounds like

This would have been one of the best game menus of all time if this music was in it

I think the title screen was perfect as is, but can understand why people would rather have some music to accompany it. 😊

I actually really like this, well done

It's so fitting, i love this! It confuses me how Nintendo just... doesn't do much music anymore-- At least, in this way

Need a mod that adds this in for REAL

@CaptainGwil

3 ай бұрын

Agreed!

It would be really good to have a Menu Theme like this one im Tears of The Kingdom, fit's so well. I would even try to play that i'm my Piano, cause it looks like a reflexive music to listen for hours and sounds relaxing to play. They could have add it as a bonus for those who finished the "story mode", this silence in the Nintendo Switch menus looks like the silence after a big loss for me... And it makes sense, at least for me. We lost Iwata, Reggie is not there anymore, Charles is not Voice Acting as Mario, the Nintendo we knew is not the same. It's another life phase, and we need to be grateful for the good things we have and had. People always talk about the Wii channels and i really like the themes too! I will miss so much Charles doing Mario voice, i wish i could met those great people, specially Charles, Reggie and Shigeru Miyamoto, may Satoru Iwata rest in peace.

It sounds like the Lower Brinstar theme from Super Metroid.

This suits the horror game that totk really is. Those red hands will appear, and all you can do is wait.

though I miss the menu sound, and this is very nice, I think silence in ToTk is very purposeful. the addition of sound when it happens in game, is thematic. Maybe the next mayor scale Zelda game will be more traditional, at least in the musical sense.

For some reason, I thought this was gonna be a joke video with a bunch of weird sounds and sound affects. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it was actually legit! :D

it's great! personally i miss the old intros from zelda, like the one in ocarina of time where you ride Epona at Dawn

I like what you did with the menu music! But I do think you should've made it more creepy? Like how the original one had creepy singing, maybe add to that and make it sound even terrifiying/unsettling ^^

We should make this a mod for the loading screen

YES! This is so much better!

If you speed the video up to 1.25x it sounds more intense like it should be but it’s still great keep up the good work

Its almost like the old Great Fairy Fountain theme if It was weeping as if It wants to sound magical But turns out mischievous and mysterious with a slight tone of sorrow

This is STUNNING

the silence was a great way to make you hold your breath before starting the game, but if it had to have a music I wouldn't have wanted anything else

both this and your botw version are fantastic and i really hope we can get main menu music back keep it up :)

Si pues, lamentablemente la pantalla del titulo no tiene un tema asi y tampoco el BOTW, es como insinuando que la mera imagen del juego simboliza muchisimo, cuando en realidad seria mas memorable por la musica de la pantalla del titulo que queremos. Actualmente lo estan minimalizando mucho todo, tanto que cada cosa pierde un poco el brillo.

Classic example of Nintendo being Nintendo and not going with the obviously better choice. 　“There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation” when they know that’s all anyone really wants to see. 😳
