Another video essay I want to make is exploring the role and importance of music As Such in Zelda games

This is what happens when a trained academic decides not to build a career in academia, you get goblins with mental health going "I have a hundred essays half-formed in my brain"

Like, genuinely, the way music exists in that entire series as something to be interacted with and to be used for its mystical abilities is genuinely fascinating to me and I'm not sure anyone else is ever really talking about it

You can find a fucktillion things about the music of the games, how things are composed, instrumentation, etc but like I'm not talking about Zelda's Lullaby, the piece of music that exists in the real world, I'm talking about Zelda's Lullaby, the piece of music that exists in the fiction

@coriander “play the right song and you can make the sun shine or cause a storm”

@coriander “or cure an old goron’s depression”

@Lady That one's not even a metaphor, music can just do that sometimes =P
