  • This is without doubt the best theme of the divine beasts!!! The strings, the ups and downs... It just feels like wind.
  • @christonadams9046
    One thing I feel we can all agree on is that, between Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom, the Rito have had the best music. Love this series
  • The Vah Medoh quest has by far my favorite tracks of all the regions. I love that you mentioned that the ascending fourths at the beginning sounds mechanical! It has always reminded me of those arcade games where a light cycles around the hoops and you have to get the light to stop in a specific place. It’s the perfect representation of something mechanical and something also being a strategic mini game! This piece has so many nuisances and layers! That Sheikah type sound playing the opening notes to Rito Village is just *chef’s kiss*. I didn’t even realize that those were the notes until you pointed them out! Thanks for breaking it down!
  • @Mahiro_Oyama-mj1dk
    I really like how the closer you get to saving the Devine beasts the music gets more upbeat, as if the Devine beast is slowly able to free itself of Gabon’s control
  • @FreeTreeHugss
    Any of the music in Rito village is just so beautiful. It still breaks my heart hearing the SOS and knowing how long ravioli stuck it out.
  • @tweer64
    6:47 I think that's the bagpipes and synth from the shrine theme. It also already had tubular bells, which were also in the shrine theme.
  • @10freekie2
    The fact that you noticed as well that the sos theme’s pitch was in between two notes is kinda sexy 😅
  • @timcwebman
    I never understood why so many people complained about the lack of music in Breath of the Wild. It has so much great music! Thank you for doing this series. I can't wait for more!

    I don’t even know how many times I’ve played BOTW, but I have over 1,200 hours in the game because once I beat it I started my file over just to experience it all over again. And even with as much as I’ve played I never paid attention to the Divine Beast music and also the changes the closer you get to the end. That being said, without a doubt, the most emotional and dare I say heart wrenching piece I have heard in the game thus far. I legitimately teared up as I paid attention to the music, and with headphones actually hearing the background noise, the SOS call, the electronic signal, and the tug-of-war feeling in the strings. This game never ceases to surprise and baffle me. An absolute masterpiece.

    I got CHILLS, man. I’d heard that there was an SOS call in this theme but couldnt hear it till you pointed it out. Vah Medoh has such a cool, haunting theme. Looking forward to more Divine Beast breakdowns!
  • @jeansnow1116
    I had never noticed the electronic sound behind until now and I'm musician! But you're right without headphones it's almost impossible to catch it that's why I didn't before because I didn't play BOTW with headphones
  • @renleung
    This is one of my fav pieces in the whole ost. I’ve got a feeling that the changing time signature to 4/4 the last terminal is telling a story too. It happens for every divine beast (incl the DLC). Also, every Blight Ganon theme is in 12/8, but Calamity Ganon is 4/4. You can probably fill a video about storytelling using time signatures!
  • @yallsy
    Good stuff Kevin! You pick up and connect so much great stuff in this piece.
  • @cas6228
    Hello Kevin We think about your channel often and hope that you are doing well. Best regards
  • @raiknightshade3442
    I'd heard the high whistling electronic notes but the electronic chord is new!
  • This man is a Legend. I am not going to tell you how awesome you are. I am just telling you that you are awesome. Reminder No. 4
  • @ShiivaWilding
    Love seeing you play more in these videos, so cool to see how you work out themes and repeated phrases.
