I lost my Dad to kidney cancer last year on October 2, 2018. He and I shared a unique bond in that The Legend of Zelda was one of his favorite series of video games to watch me play. Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask were three of his favorite titles. It never got old to watch me play and it never got old for me to play them while spending time with him. I still play these titles at random these days. I would like to think as my Dad was traveling to the peaceful avenue of the after life that this is what he heard on his journey. The bright light of noise you hear along with the birds at the end of this song signifies that my Dad made it to his destination peacefully. Every time I want to be reminded of him or if I just want to hear his voice again, I come back to these types of musical pieces that were crafted with the utmost touch and absolute pure, raw emotion. "Oath to Order" is a telling title because I feel it was my Dad's final battle against cancer. In ways, he was Link, and cancer was the Moon. Cancer came in three forms: Mask (diagnosis), Incarnation (cancer spreading, taking over without care), and Wrath (when the cancer took his ability to walk, talk, and ultimately his passing). This song is also a reflection of hope and not once during my dad's four month journey did he ever complain once about what this disease did to him. So, to me, I am at peace knowing he is not suffering any longer and that he is enjoying where he is at now. I am also at peace knowing that I will encounter him and my Baw Baw one day when my time is done on Earth too. God Bless anyone and everyone that has had to watch a loved one suffer through cancer. Thank you for reading.

Thanks for sharing your story. A great game can have the power to change someones life, and the Zelda games have helped connect a lot of people through their stories, puzzles, and music. The world of Termina and the sounds that have been woven into it I think offer the best incarnation in the series.

I like that you said you are at peace. You’re very deliberate in your wording; it’s a rather interesting sentiment to believe that this kind of media can do this kind of thing, but this phenomenal little video game really does have that kind of sway over others, myself included. Know that you’ve most definitely made my day.

"You don't have friends" - Majora

What I find about the animation in this part the very best, is how they displayed the giants legs shaking under the immense pressure to stop the moon, you can practically feel how they desperately struggle to keep the moon from going any further.

The Legend of Zelda Series is not just a Series of Games... It's a priceless Legacy and Treasure for every Fantasy Story-Lover.

Quite possibly one of the saddest songs ever.

MM was about how Link passed away and was going through the stages of denial before death. That's why its sad, but unfortunately this song is about how hes finally accepted death hence "the world ending" so that's why its more of an accepting tone then it is a sad one.

Apa Honestly for me it opens up quite a different perspective of this game. I recently learned about this theory and in doing so i was able to read the timeline alot more clear It made a real difference in how i played the series. As for new players Id have to disagree on what you said. Unless said new player is interested in the Chronology of The Legend of Zelda then knowing this theory doesnt change much for them at all. I feel it benefits more experienced LoZ players more then newer ones for it opens up new horizons for LoZ veterans.

User Soup123 MM was about Termina going through the 5 stages of grief because of it's destruction. Link canonly never died before, during or right after Majora's Mask, he even built himself a family as Twilight Princess Link is his descendent by blood and I start to get really annoyed by how many people misinterpreted the game because of Game Theory's nonsense.

ShibbyDaisy What your saying is just theory too you know.. Link lost Navi and was stricken with depression when he died he met up with Tatl and Tael(representing the good and bad in Navi hence the white and black) Skull kid represents the evil that could have been prevented(Ganandorf taking the triforce of power) in the beginning Link turns into a deck shrub(having to get past leaving his friend Saria behind to start a journey with Navi or in this case having to forget Navi and start a journey with Tatl) Next was the goron Darunia he felt guilty that he never went back to goron village when he saved Hyrule. which is why Darunias story is about him not being remembered as a hero Finally the zora.he promised to marry the zora girl and this tale is a tale of love never meant to be fulfilled. Link basically ditched her at the alter lol. last but not least the famous line from Majoras mask "youve met with a terrible fate havent you" which could be interpreted into Youve died and are looking for salvation arent you? all the many different theories still there is no exact answer on what the meaning behind it is. but like i said they are all theories even yours.

Probably the best remix of any Zelda game music I have ever heard. This is brilliant!

This rendition is sooooo pretty. Especially when it gets quiet and then some kind of synth starts to grow, that part gets me so hyped up.

Amazing music you must listen to with headphones

Man this remix is awesome! Great job! =D

The Four Giants them always seemed to send me chills down my spin. For some reason, when I watched them running onto the screen, trying to lift the moon with all their strength from it hitting the clock tower, I was always felt myself feeling such anticipation, even though I knew that they were going to catch it anyways. IceyOnly did an excellent job on making this song give you feeling of the dread and yet heroic actions that were taking place in this scene. Great job, like always :3

This showed up in a KZread playlist almost 4 years after I liked it. The nostalgia hit pretty hard.

I love your Zelda remixes that are "clouddrifter", they are so chill. My favorites are this, the Astral Observatory, and Song of Healing clouddrifter. These are all some of the calmest, and most well done remixes of these songs that I've heard. Thank you for making some of my favorite gaming tracks into something more interesting.

Thanks a lot. I played through the game again, myself. A few pain in the ass moments (3rd and 4th dungeons) but mostly plain-sailing. Thanks for the compliments.

I can not stop listening to this over and over. Thank you so much for making it, best remix I've ever heard of this song. It's a great length, it keeps the sad beauty of the song perfectly and even adds to it. Even Koji would adore this.

Love it. Make the Majora's Mask remake Nintendo!!!

Beautiful.

You never get tired of this? At least be happy this was ur childhood 😊

Greatest video game in history IMO, I think it is underrated because of the timing of the release and because it had so much to live up to following OOT. It was the most requested videogame to be put on wii's live marketplace, even more so than OOT, which shows that it left an impact on the people who did play it. The mystery, the deep story, the gameplay mechanics, and the best videogame music ever all make it such a deep rewarding experience even on the 200th run thru. I never tire of it ever!

I'm so proud of what has come from these games

Recently playing through this game has made me once again realise how fantastic Kondo actually is in his compositions, Sometimes its hard to forget how good the truly is, especially in today's monotone works not too say there hasn't been great composers this generation .Must I also say bravo recreation such a great piece in your own manner, bravo.

@IceyOnly Oh I missed a few! Tyvm for the link. I'm excited to see what you have for the next one! (and so on) xD

I need this with the Giant’s foosteps.

Congrats on 1000 likes. :D You earned all of them, and the 32 and then some you got after.

I had this stuck in my head ALL DAY. ~ Best. Day. Ever.

Breathtaking

Absolutely fantastic. This and Last Day are two of my favorite video game sound tracks of all time, and your remixes are among the few that actually do them justice. On a side note, if you still don't know which Zelda theme to remix next, you might want to consider taking a crack at the "theme" of Majora's Mask. It serves as one of the primary musical motifs throughout much of the game (e.g. Southern Swamp, Ikana Canyon, etc.), and I bet you could easily take that melody and make it your own.

Beautiful!

i love beautiful music like this...calm and relaxing...makes me think about life...

so gorgeous

this is one awesome song loved playing this song at the end

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! LOVE THE GAME LOVE THE SONG AND LOVE YOU!
