MIDI Week Singles: "Title Theme" - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)

 


"Title Theme" from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on the Nintendo 64 & Game Cube (2000 & 2003)
Composer: Koji Kondo
Album: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Game Music Soundtrack CD Set
Label: Nintendo of America
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo EAD


The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a game that I have mentioned a number of times in the past but strangely enough, has not been a game that we have featured before on MIDI Week Singles.  I was originally deciding between which of the four Clock Town Themes to use as Days 1 - 3 are all variations on the "Title Theme" which itself is the theme for Clock Town (thanks Xzibit) while "Last Day," being the final six or so hours before the moon smashes into Clock Town (and the world?) was a little too esoteric to just pull out of the blue.  So "Title Theme" being the theme for Clock Town and in typical J.J. Abrams and Michael Giacchino style, all is happy and good in the main theme until the final seconds when you realize that something is very much wrong and then it fades to black (thanks LOST).

I guess I just like and lean towards songs that have this overall tone and what better song to use from one of my favorite games in this franchise than the one that plays over the opening titles?

Happy Wednesday.
