A Musical Analysis of Mipha’s Theme
Mipha's theme from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is a standout on a great soundtrack, simultaneously showcasing the game's general modern-piano-driven approach as well as an elegant melodic style very much in the vein of classic Zelda music.

thank you so much for keeping the video up even with muted !! playing along was very rewarding, forced me to engage in a closer way with the material. love the video!
these chords are used allll the time in shoegaze and i think it's one of the reasons i love the genre
Just great... explaining our fear of Cynthia using science.... you just do not do that.
Another bittersweet example of the mixolydian mode is the song Clocks by Coldplay
This was an incredible video. It's thorough, but it doesn't stay on any one topic for too long. Thank you, good sir.
Man, I love listening to this during a boss fight.... *Presses Cybeast Button* *AS GREGAR!!* *Gregar roar!!!*
To me, she's the one true World Champion. Idc what they say about Leon, its Cynthia to me.
Su_erb video, as usual!
ugg, I don't really like 8-bit video game music at all, but this is very good drum tutorial despite the awful music :)
intelligent system putting so much effort into a games soundtrack that most people are gonna dismiss anyway 😭
Kinda wish my weavile wasn't my main because I don't get it.
This song sounds like Joe Hisaishi's One Summer's Day, mashed up with Koji Kondo's Zelda style themes... in a nutshell
you played it briefly at the end, but i'd love a video on comparing mipha's theme to sidon's theme, if you were interested!
Investigations pursuit theme slaps.
I'm more confused
Cynthia is ez i beat her underleveled
Doopliss's theme is probably my favorite boss theme in the game. It's interesting to have heard it in the remake first- it's still got all the same sweet bits, it's just a bit more banger with the new instrumentation. The remake in general does a lot of interesting things- I think they knew people would complain no matter how good they did, and there would inevitably be something lost when translating the music into a new style, so they filled that in with something *new*. Themes for the different sublevels of each area, new battle themes for each chapter, *progressive music for the Thousand-Year Door's room*, it's hard not to appreciate the effort they put in. While I can see people liking the original theme better without progression, the new one is outright angelic by the end!
It feels like that 'fifth' sound is so predominant with japanese composers. The opening chords are so reminiscent of Hisaishi for example.
Wow this video really made me appreciate the game's music way more. The work that the bass is doing is something I've never noticed before and yet...
And *then* there’s Volo’s battle theme makes Cynthia’s theme sounds like just a tutorial of how to handle the terror. 😊
You offer us a treasure😍
I have this with Lance in Silver. My god.
Lance's theme in R/B/Y was more menacing
This was my favorite boss theme in the game as a kid.
I love this track and the music of Golden Sun in general. So much amazing layering and prog-rock spiciness.
That Spiritomb pre-Fairy nerf though...
I still have nightmares fron my battle with Whitney and her fucking miltank with goddamn ROLLOUT! Red/Blue/Yellow were a cake walk in comparison to her!
I've legit been trying to find sheet music for this for years and damn. Now I just gotta practice! Love the breakdown
If it ain't gen 4< it ain't shit (I'm old now ig)
Super fantastic video and analysis, as always!
One of my favorite things about the Pursuit themes in the Great Ace Attorney games is that you have the Pursuit theme that was played in the video.... until the very last case in the second game, which is the culmination of the entire story across both games. There, the familiar Pursuit theme is suddenly reworked into a slightly more subdued but much more tension evoking version, less a Pursuit theme and more a pre-pursuit theme, before finally breaking loose into a new, different, even grander Pursuit theme that caps the entire story. It's beautiful.
Maybe a little more than 8bit but I'm pretty sure the crash bandicoot title music is mixolydian.
Remake was cute but thank gawd for that Nostalgia music badge
Nah when I heard that again my stomach dropped had me shaking in fear the second I heard that shiz again
We all need so much more BOTW or TOTK analysis
I feel like something similar to 2:57 is happening at the end of the intro for Yunobo's Theme, in TOTK, before it goes ham.
When someone tells me BOTW/TOTK don't have soundtracks, or that there are only two "songs", I ROFLMAO. They're my favorite of the bunch, with OOT right there. The various champion themes, and the region themes related to them, are no small part why.
All jokes aside, the Champion themes in each game have always been STELLAR pieces of music. I am still blown away at how menacing & epic they managed to make them sound on GameBoy hardware. Seriously. If you dont remember, go have a listen to the original Blue champion theme, or the Pkmn Trainer RED battle theme. What they managed to convey with such a limited soundscape blew my mind as a kid & still blows my mind today.
Oh my god the subtitles wrote "threatening aura" as "threatening Ora" & I just 😂
You see, i was a kid who chose a water starter and well, grinded it to lv 100 and sweeped the game with surf. I 1v6 defeated Cynthia 1st try and well, i dont have that pcsd
It's Do ré mi fa sol la si, not ti. You can find the information easily.
Which theme is the outro from?
can you please do a music analyse on Doki doki litrature club or nekopara please pls plss pls i swear i will watch that video every day of my life
Thanks Bruh. Love your work!
I will never forget the Trauma in undella town. Since then i am Always so cacious about approaching new areas
But the kids will say "BUT SKIBIDI RIZZY TOILET IS FINNA MOG CYNTHIA NO CAP" and im sad because that might be true
bro edged me at the cynthia battle theme
Gunstar heroes for the Sega Genesis also has an OST that slaps would be cool to see you do a video on something from that
Man I would LOVE for you to do the intro to a link to the past that arpeggio at the start is the most perfect thing I've ever heard to achieve that "mystical" feel
Those are hauntingly beautiful.
