The Bloop posted:When people are being extremely loud and distracting at my job while I'm actually trying to concentrate instead of shitpost, I put on the BGM from SimCity SNES and it's very soothing (not the capital or metropolis themes those are too intense) A YouTube video labeled “Soothing music to study/work to” featuring the chill beats anime girl in the thunbnail but in reality it’s a 3 hour loop of the sonic the hedgehog drowning music.

I like listening to video game soundtracks as a background to doing other things because, well, it's usually designed as a chill background for walking around places. Fight music if I'm doing something intense like writing a report.

sigher posted:You state "video game music" like it's something completely different to any other type of music. If you like music you like music. Video game music is totally different from regular music, it’s designed with different goals in mind and uses way different rules about time signatures, melody, themes, etc. When a video game composer sits down to write a battle theme with 5 different parts that will be programmed to use different instruments and time signatures depending on your characters score or the phase of a boss fight, without knowing how long it might take someone to cut the dragons wings off or something, that is entirely different skill set then Taylor Swift writing a 3 minute pop song that has no variation and is always consumed the same way. I understand the message you’re trying to convey but video game music isn’t just “music” for the same reason movies aren’t just “TV” or that books aren’t just “plays”

It's a very comparable skillset.

I was obsessed with the Outset Island theme at one point about 5 years ago and would always put the orchestral version of it on (or the 25th anniversary wind waker suite from that cd) while doing chores at night, and it became so ingrained in my head and my fiancé’s head that, years later still, if either of us are doing the dishes or something like that we’ll just start whistling it

Yeah Wind Waker is probably peak Zelda music. My favorite is the ending credits song that blends all the themes together into one masterpiece. https://youtu.be/QhdiYWCQVqg

They had to release Skyward Sword on switch before WWHD on Switch because if they did it the other way around we’d all go “lol!” My dream would be a single package that was just all 3 toon link games on Switch

They’re likely sitting on it for when they need a release to fill the void. I thought for sure we would get that and Twilight Princess HD for the 35th, but all we got was Skyward Sword and the game and watch. BOTW 2 is rumored for next November according to Peer Schneider and IGN, so maybe we’ll get one or both next summer to fill the gap. Or not, who the gently caress knows anymore with Nintendo.

You can always do the weapon switch trick to cancel fall damage if you’re any good. I am not at all and have about a 25% success rate personally. So much for setting speed run records.

I only just got the hang of parrying all of the lynel attacks so I don't think that's in my immediate future. I really do love starting the game completely over sometimes just to remember how I thought about "what's out there" before I ever left the plateau. drat game is so big.

I've said it before but my favorite soundtrack is definitely Twilight Princess. There are better individual songs in other games, but it's the most consistently high-quality one for me.

Electric Phantasm posted:Absolutely best ending theme, best boss themes, best town themes, and best field? theme. Ocarina, Majora, Twilight Princess, and Skyward all had cool little cutscenes about what happened later (even if Ocarina was just a hosed up party where nothing made sense). BotW would be IDEAL for that, and it just kinda... does a fairly unimpressive medley with screenshots.

The 13th, unlockable Recalled Memory kinda does this, though it does t really foreshadow anything you couldn’t have already assumed. It has a pretty badass musical flourish at the end, too!

https://kotaku.com/poll-here-are-japans-top-100-video-games-of-all-time-1848275437 A Japanese TV show polled 50,000 Japanese and came up with a top 100 videogame list of all time. Skyward Sword - 88 Majora’s Mask - 80 Legend of Zelda (the first game) - 52 Ocarina of Time - 17 BOTW - number 1 Can’t believe Wind Waker failed to make this list but Skyward Sword did…

Skrill.exe posted:It's because Nintendo hasn't put it on the Switch, dooming it to irrelevancy. This actually is probably the real reason why it didn't make the list. Assuming that most of the people polled were in their 20s-30s, they would've been too young to play the original Gamecube release of Wind Waker, but would have been the perfect age to play Skyward Sword on the Wii. The original LoZ and OoT were easy and cheap enough to play through the Wii's Virtual Console, so they're covered too. While the Wii can play Gamecube games, I can imagine most people wouldn't have wanted to buy a copy (or were too young to know it existed), and since the Wii U didn't sell well, a lot of them would've missed out on the HD rerelease too.
