End Credits (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) | 近藤浩治 [Koji Kondo]

You're the Hero that time will never remember. Truly one of the saddest endings.

Today, my best friend passed away. He was well known for his Link cosplay; he had been battling cancer for years and the Lord took him home. I played this for him just before he passed; his journey in this life was over and I thought that his journey should end in a poetic fashion. His favorite game was, "Ocarina of Time".

As a child, Iwas crying and thinking.." it's over? it's..actually over?" man, the nostalgia hits and hurts a lot, I love TloZ!!

25 years later, this game is still legendary. A true masterpiece, and among the greatest games Nintendo has ever created, Zelda or otherwise. Long live Ocarina of Time.

listening to the credits theme hits harder now as an adult than how it did as a kid. you can really feel the emotion that this credits theme conveys to you.

Through action, a man becomes a Hero Through death, a Hero becomes a Legend Through time, a Legend becomes a Myth And by learning from the Myth, a man takes action

I just finished the game this morning for the 1st time, the entire game was a work of art straight up made me cry for 1 hour, Koji Kondo you're a legend.

The legend of Zelda series has taught me many things, like be brave and courageous. Care for others. And that time passes, people move, like a rivers flow, it never ends.

how can you love a place so much that youve never actually been. literally the best game ever created.

When Malon starts singing 1:42 pure chills man. So beautiful.

This and Mario 64's credits will never stop hitting me like a truck

私はニンテンドーウルトラ64でこのゲームが大好きです。私は学校を卒業してから数か月後に初めてこのゲームをプレイしました。

A friend owned this game, we never got past the sacred forest meadow, we didn't speak english so we had no idea what to do. Last year I finally played it complete and... God! the nostalgia, the things i discovered, the feelings. And the tears at the end. Thanks Mr. Miyamoto, Mr. Kondo and team for giving us such experience 💚❤️💙

Just completed this game again for the first time in a while. I forgot how emotional this song was.

When this exact theme 5:11 plays at the ending of Tears of the Kingdom it freaking shocked me and made me cry like a freaking baby man… the nostalgia hit HARD

the bells at 5:55 really cracked my feelings, it really felt like it was the last i'd see of such a corageous boy, but in fact, it wasn't the last i'd see ;)

There will NEVER be a game like Ocarina of Time again

Damn, that kicks hard. Ocarina of Time is more than just a game. It's childhood.

5:48 is hands down the best part of this song

This ending music just reminds me of how well this game broke your heart beautifully. It was a seven-layer cake of bittersweet heartbreak. - Zelda: "Link, give the Ocarina to me." She puts her hand on his. Never has an N64 polygon NPC looked so deeply sad as she explains she must send Link back to regain his lost years as a child. And then, she plays those notes. And he's gone. If there was love there, it will never be. - The glorious festival of all the game's NPC's with old rivalries budding into new friendships, but no Link to enjoy his victory. - The Six Sages looking down on the festival in spirit form. They did it, they won. They're also most likely dead in spirit form. Bittersweet. - The credits scene landscapes reminding you just how breathtaking every environment truly is - Child Link going back to the Temple of Time and, what's this...Navi? No, why would you leave me now? Navi is gone forever as she escapes via the high window - Child Link still goes and puts back the Master Sword forever sealing his fate as a child, but he sure walks away like a boss while the church bells ring. That's a lump and a half in your throat right there - Post-Post-credits scene of Child Link first entering the castle garden and seeing Zelda. Their eyes meet. Time stops. You remember that moment from your early playthrough. The final Nintendo stamp shows up, and that godforsaken Zelda's Lullaby plays one last time, cutting up all sorts of onions in its trail. Then it stops and you are left with nothing but silence and silhouette.
