The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Music Added to Nintendo Music App, Sparks Huge Social Media Reaction
Music from the popular action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has been added to "Nintendo Music," a smartphone app exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers provided by Nintendo, garnering a significant response on social media.
On July 8th, a total of 51 tracks from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, including "Hyrule Field Main Theme," "Lost Woods," and "Fire Temple," became available on the app. This announcement was met with enthusiastic reception from fans, with numerous joyful comments such as "So emotional," "About to cry," and "Awesome" posted on X (formerly Twitter). Users expressed deep affection for the game and praised the music, with comments like, "I hated the Lost Woods, but I loved its music – a cherished memory," and "Everyone needs to listen to Staff Roll 2."
Furthermore, some users are enjoying comparing the newly added music with tracks from the Nintendo 64 version of Ocarina of Time already available on the app, drawing attention to the differences in arrangements and sound sources between the two versions.
Rising Expectations for Future Lineup
While the addition of Ocarina of Time 3D music has been highly praised, fans have also expressed strong expectations for future music additions.
Many requests have been made for music from other Zelda series titles, such as Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess. Additionally, there are notable demands for music from a wide range of Nintendo titles, including Animal Crossing, Super Mario Sunshine, WarioWare, Famicom Detective Club, Shin Onigashima, and Wave Race. Some users have even commented, "Is it just Zelda...?", indicating an expectation for a more diverse array of game series to be included.
"Nintendo Music" has also appeared as a trending topic on Yahoo!, demonstrating its high level of attention. The pace of music additions has also been positively evaluated as "quite fast," further raising expectations for a rich lineup in the future.
The context
"Nintendo Music" is a relatively new smartphone application launched by Nintendo, exclusively available to subscribers of its Nintendo Switch Online service. The app allows users to listen to music from various Nintendo games, functioning much like a dedicated music player for game soundtracks.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, is widely regarded as one of the most influential and critically acclaimed video games of all time. Its 2011 remake, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the Nintendo 3DS, brought updated graphics and some gameplay tweaks while preserving the beloved original score. The addition of its soundtrack to the Nintendo Music app is significant because of the game's iconic status and the nostalgia it evokes among a vast fanbase. The music itself is highly praised for its composition and how it enhances the game's immersive experience, making its availability on the app a major event for fans of both the game and its score.
