Or, and this is my favorite: listen to what happens when Makar and Medli's Prayers are superimposed on top of each other:īut this isn't all- the entire soundtrack is full of clever callbacks and echoes like this. Or listen to The Ancient Hero, and then listen to Fado's Themeand Laruto's Theme. Now, listen to The Wind Waker main theme starting at 3:51. You don't have to listen to all of it, just listen to a few seconds. The music expertly uses recurring motifs and leitmotifs- for instance, listen first to the Outset Island theme starting at 0:11. It often gets overshadowed by Ocarina of Time, which is more iconic, I agree, but Wind Waker's soundtrack is a true thing of beauty. Wind Waker has one of the best OSTs of all time, and the best OST in the Zelda series, bar none. I'm going to, instead, talk about the one thing about The Wind Waker that I feel is shockingly underappreciated- its music. Everything about it, from how charming it is, to its innocent sense of wonder at exploring a vast world, its sense of adventure, to its first steps towards the emergent open world game that Breath of the Wild would eventually become, to its now iconic graphical style, is perfect. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a goddamn masterpiece, and a glorious, beautiful game that now finally gets its due.
