Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Zelda Wii better have great music.

??? I thought the MIDI one sounded better... it sounded cleaner.
I think I prefered the string instument parts in the orchestra though.

Really?

I thought that for the Brawl version, its easier to differentiate the notes, while the MIDI version sounds more blurred together.

Pretty funny though.

The Spirit Tracks trailer tune is great, so I don't fear a decline in the soundtrack's quality.



best Zelda songs =

Song of Healing (Majora's Mask)

Everything from Wind Waker



I'm sure it will be great, don't worry.




Nintendo still doomed?

Also probably the reason the music has gotten worse is because Koji Kondo is doing less and less of the music.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

Song of Healing (Majora's Mask)

Everything from Wind Waker

I am trying hard to remember the song of healing now.... it was one of those with 3 repeated notes wasn't it?... but I can't bring it to mind.

I do vaguely remember the chillingly sad sounds made around the bit that you learn the 5th of the coloured songs (purple note on the menu screen) the one that calls the 4 giants.

Oh and off topic, but while I am here.... which idiot designed the Goron maze thing in the final levels.... that was stupidly difficult... so much so that when I died in the battle against the mask and had to do it again I didn't bother getting the fierce deity mask again. (which made the final battle harder, so I almost died again)... and there is no way I am even attempting to try for the heart piece in there.

 



Having to play the music yourself really helps get it into your head in Ocarina, but the game has other memorable songs aswell, such as the Forest Temple or the all the songs from Gannon's Tower. A song that's always stuck with me is the Dark World song from Link to the Past.

Personally the MIDIs from TP never bothered me when I was playing but in a side-by-side comparions they do seem kinda bad.

Perhaps the wider variety of music in the game makes it harder to focus on a few songs making them more difficult to remember. I remember every song from the original Zelda, because there were four of them. That still doesn't excuse PH though.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

-walks away-

You're not.  I loved TP's soundtrack and it had some really smart arrangements of past Zelda tunes.

If you guys think ALttP, OoT, and MM all had more memorable soundtracks than the more recent Zeldas, it probably has something to do with Koji Kondo not composing any new music for the games for a long while.  I think he contributed to Wind Waker's soundtrack, but only one new song is confirmed to be written by him.

There were more than that!



It better be ALL MIDI!
