a legend says that if you fall asleep listening to the song of time, you'll wake up 7 years later!

I am Japanese. I use Google Translate. Sorry if I expressed it incorrectly. I'm translating everyone's comments, and I can relate to them very much. I'm very happy that ``The Legend of Zelda'' is loved across borders. Legend of Zelda songs seem to have the power to heal people.

Took my wife to a fancy restaurant, and the pianist was riffing through all kinds of Zelda music. I think we were the only people there who noticed/cared.

I don’t know why but as soon as I started listening I was crying 😩 something about Zelda music just gets me, anyone else?

I left this open as a tab, my mom found it and said how beautiful it was, I go "it's video game music" and turned up the volume, she got real quiet and listened. You know music is impactful when it makes you pause

2024 🎉 still alive and listening 🎉

I think it's kind of symbolic, having the "Sonata of Awakening" at the end of an album titled "Zelda and Sleep." It's like the entire album is a good dream you never want to wake from, but you have to anyway and face the real world. But you know that the rest you had was well deserved and will strengthen you through your daily challenges. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

This is honestly almost too much for me... wow, music is so powerful. I miss it all so SO much. I played Ocarina of Time at the perfect point in my life... I was 12, living in the mountains with my grandparents, in my own little version of Kokiri Forest. I had a friend who loved the game as much as I did and we played the game together all the time. As I got older, for some silly reason, I always imagined what it would be like to enjoy that game with a girlfriend. I was lucky enough to get the chance. I was so blown away when she told me her favorite game ever was Majora's Mask, which I'd never played. We played through both games together and I cherished those moments with her. I'm tearing up as I type this, because neither of those people are still in my life, but this music is a comforting reminder of those times... and a powerful statement about how great these games were. I so much hate dwelling in the past... but this makes me wish I could travel back.

If you're reading this, I hope that day comes real soon where your wildest dreams come true. Where you finally feel that you are at peace with yourself and your surroundings. May your life be full of joy, strength, light, and ease. May you lead a life full of positivity and greatness. You got this.

Zelda games saved my life, when I moved with my aunts, didnt know anyone or anything, they were always working, with theie families and I was all alone, didnt know the language, one thing I has with me was the ocarina of Time game in 2005. I had yo learn english to know what to do in the game! 6 years later, I was depressed becase my girlfriend had dumped me, one of my friends came over to my house with the Twilight Princess. I really wanted to end my life, but I couldnt, that game was really beautiful and wanted to see the end. All I could think was "how can I beat that dungeon?" And all of a sudden, I wasnt thinking of her anymore

I use this music to put my toddlers to sleep. Passing my childhood, onto theirs.

My grandparents got me into Zelda when I was around 3. I'll never forget them hooking up the NES in my old apartment so we could play the og Zelda, one of the first games I ever played. Here I am 16 yrs later in my college library reading while listening to this album. My Switch is in a totk themed case with a Skyward Sword cartridge that's tucked away in my backpack alongside my chair. Sometimes things don't ever have to change. Music truly is the closest thing we have to a time machine.

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

Nostalgia hits hard here...when times were simple and cares were few. I wish peace to you all

My 3 month old baby falls asleep to this in minutes. thank you.

These games weren't just games. We each grew with Link as he shouldered the burdens of Hyrule, remembered his lost childhood, helped others in precious limited time, and learned what made him happy as a person. We grew up with Link but, we also grew up as the games themselves aged--and everything that revisiting the Zelda of our younger years brings--new memories, revisiting old ones. There's a special place for these legends in each of us. Link and every gamer in his shoes was never the same after that fateful day Hyrule needed his aid. It's an escapist reality that simultaneously lives out in our real lives through so many interconnecting, valuable, personal ways. I grew as a person by playing these. So many other people I've met and read about have, too. ---Thanks for the music! It's beautiful.

I am turning 30 in April. I remember trying to figure out Ocarina of Time on the 64 when I was around 5 years old. The opening song to this mix alone triggers indescribable feelings in my head and heart. It's so beautiful and yet so painful. It's hard to explain. I have been through so much, yet this music is able to make me appreciate existing for small moments of time. I am so grateful I saw a 100 piece orchestra perform this music live.

Can't sleep cause I get too much nostalgia and memories of my childhood and times since gone. 💔

I could never sleep to this. The nostalgia is almost painful. Beautiful though.
