Wonder why I didn't connect very much with this moment like so many online clearly do. This track has numerous covers, guitar, piano, etc. I love that great game music inspires people to remake it in their own way! <br /><br />Thanks for pointing out the Hyrule field/Malon singing connection too, Kevin. I gave it a listen and I definitely think the sound of Malon's singing and the background "singing" of the Hyrule night time are practically the same sound (if not identical sounds). I'm not exactly sure of the audio technical aspects between the consoles, and since Ocarina was for N64 and TP was for Gamecube/Wii, I'm hesitant to say they're precisely the same, but from an audio standpoint they might as well be. This is definitely plays back into that nostalgia feeling that game music (or really, any music) can create. As soon as we hear something, we can be pulled back to another thought or sound-- much the same with our sense of smell.

Perfectly fit the intensity of that moment. <br /><br />The other song from that game that sticks out the most is the Hyrule Field Night theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeUAPGZ3imQ). When I first heard it, I immediately thought of Malon, but thought nothing of it. After hearing the Hyrule Castle music you mentioned and Saria's Song in the Sacred Grove, I began to wonder if there was a connection between Malon and Twilight Princess. Did some googling, and found a theory that it's Malon's ghost haunting Hyrule Field (http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/general-zelda/96025-malons-voice.html). <br /><br />Given the history of this game and series in general, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of connection between that theme and Malon/Epona's song.
