Ok, that's awesome.

So a couple of guys decided to reverse the song of the GDC trailer and here's what they got:

Familiar?

Wow, haha.

 

[Mistle]

Haha, no way! That's pretty awesome.

Too bad it wasn't the Song of Time. Ability to slow down time confirmed!

 

[Boney]

It's not as if they did that as an easter egg for a guy to find out...

that's just how muzik works

 

[M74]

You know Nintendo did this on purpose, so what does it mean?

Spoiler

Or is the Zelda team just continuing with its eternal tolling of us all?

Nintendo's music team are tsunderes? fucking awesome

 

[methodman]

yep all songs in reverse sound like zelda's lullaby

 

[Boney]

*googles*

uhhh what?

 

[Snuggles]

Yeah, this reeks of laziness to me. They couldn't even come up with a new song, they just reversed an old one and passed it off as new!

 

[heringer]

Unacceptable!

 

[Scrow]

eh, so what?

 

[Grakl]

You should try effectively reversing a song to fit a trailer and have it sound good.

So....joke post?

 

[Jackano]

Yeah, mind blowing. A little less than Peach Super Smash music in Brawl, but still.

So, we had this:

That's the backward Sword and now, we have the Skyward Sword. This translate for Kondo as a reverted theme song. Pretty cool idea!

 

[radioheadrule83]

Not really that simple. Notes sound very different in reverse, to get the arrangement sounding like a new tune with a cohesive pace whilst simultaneously sounding like Zelda's lullaby in reverse wouldn't be easy... its a nice job.

It's a bit like a 'crab canon' - which Bach was famous for using, except he would have the melody and reversed melody in the same piece.

It reminds me of Spinning Plates by Radiohead, in which they did some reverse trickery and employed musical palindromes... it made it sound like the lyrics were being sent through a wormhole from another dimension or something.

 

[Boney]

So....joke post?

not saying it was random, saying they did it on purpose but not for the fact of being "awesome"

so the joke's on you!

 

[ASIS]

You don't get it. The fact that they purposely didn't do it for the "awesome" makes it even more awesome!

 

[BertramCooper]

Holy balls, that's awesome.

 

[Woffls]

Oh. My. God. This is most definitely relevant to my interests.

[edit]Okay, listening to this cost me and a friend the achievement in Portal 2 for doing all 9 chambers in no4 without dying. We were on the last chamber. I got shot by turrets while listening to this in the Steam browser. There was little hilarity.

 

[From The Dust]

*googles*

uhhh what?

tsunderes are the best kind of women

 

[JaseMath]

Whoa.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I should have spotted this, it reminded me of the lullaby but I never twigged it was backwards. And I think I'm the only person who thought it was a catchy tune.

 

[Boney]

tsunderes are the best kind of women

 

[Big One]

That is pretty clever and fantastic. I knew something was familiar about the song when I first heard it.

 

[Storm Prelude]

Yeah, mind blowing. A little less than Peach Super Smash music in Brawl, but still.

?

However, this actually gave me goosebumps. Good job, Nintendo, good job.

 

[Cranzor]

?

However, this actually gave me goosebumps. Good job, Nintendo, good job.

I believe he was referring to this.

But yes, very awesome of Nintendo to do. That must've been hard to make it even sound good.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Fucking WOW!

 

[Christine]

Yeah, mind blowing. A little less than Peach Super Smash music in Brawl, but still.

What's going on with Peach's Super Smash music in Brawl?

 

[Bit-Bit]

Just showed my friend. It blew his mind too. Nintendo did the same thing wit I think the Song of Storm and the Song of Healing.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

I just found out about this on another forum. Mind blown.

 

[Londa]

Very cool, but also makes me think. Then I wonder about what other songs are also done in the same manner.

 

[Anth0ny]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[Trurl]

Perhaps they're telling us the game can be played in reverse. omg, left hand mode.

 

[Akai]

Just showed my friend. It blew his mind too. Nintendo did the same thing wit I think the Song of Storm and the Song of Healing.

It's actually Saria's Song and the Song of Healing. Neat stuff...

 

[ShockingAlberto]

This has made me watch the GDC video again a few times today and honestly it looks a lot more fun than I gave it credit for back during GDC.

I'm starting to get hyped.

 

[carlo6529]

So, Zelda confirmed to be in Skyward Sword then?

 

[shadyspace]

So, Zelda confirmed to be in Skyward Sword then?

This was confirmed last September.

 

[phalestine]

Yeah same here, HYPE!!!

 

[wonderfuldays]

Why!? Unbelievable! lol

 

[Mejilan]

Very cool. Kind of surprised that the trailer music turned out as epic as it did. A kind of languid epic. Shit like this kinda geeks me out.

 

[AniHawk]

This was confirmed last September.

actually it was confirmed when they revealed they were working on a new legend of zelda game.

Before I realized why this thread was bumped (holy shit btw!) I was watching the trailer and I got that same feeling...

Why E3 couldn't be sooner, like I dunno, tomorrow?

 

[carlo6529]

They haven't actually shown Zelda yet, have they?

 

[D-Pad]
