Zelda: Skyward Sword theme played backwards = OMG

So you know the music for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword trailer from GDC? Well FPawesome here decided to play the music backwards and it's actually another Zelda song! Amazing!

The best beard in the videogame industry, RawMeatCowboy, went ahead and put the reversed song on Soundcloud to make listening to the theme easier.

Mind blown: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - GDC 2011 trailer music played backwards is very familiar [GoNintendo]

Bullet For My Valentine headed to Rock Band this Tuesday

now that i look at the art direction it looks like this was the game that was the preview for the GC zelda

Rigby

Cool...Zelda's Lullaby, very clever...

ProperlyParanoid

WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK

Kyogissun

Whoa, is this just a clever easter egg or... Does it mean something more?

Im The Singer in Symphony X

So they just took that song and reversed it for the theme. Very Lazy.

Trololol

M47R1X

Zelda's effing lullaby. Wow. I really couldn't tell until he played it. Remarkable, if a little lazy.

CUDpwns

Now we have to play every Nintendo trailer backwards they have to mean something.

dolson

isn't this essentially what Nickelback does?

Fission Mailed

OH

MY

GOD

mind = blown

anbia

Much like that song, I wonder if you're gonna have to play the game backwards in order for it to be memorable. ZING!

Skyy

Kind of creepy if u ask me...

Fuzunga

HOLY FUCK STICK.

DeusPayne

When you hear it, you will shit bricks.

Gengario

I could literally feel my head exploding as I listened to this. Well played Nintendo.

Killrig

Twilight Princess is mirrored on the Wii.

Think about it.

Onyx Leo

ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

Sentient 6

Holy shit! My mind is blown.

Eternal

Only way to top this: open up the file and check the spectrograph to find the words "The Game"

TYFIGHTER

RMC really is the best beard in the industry!

Max-

MY BRAIN IS ABOUT TO EXPLOD-!

Salnax

Ho.ly.SHIT 0.0

Minds were blown and brix were shat

Justice

That's awesome, trust Nintendo to do this.

AnotherRumpKicker

AUGH GOD MY BRAIN

Icedus

I would've completely missed it. Now I'm starting to wonder how many subliminal messages have landed a direct hit on me over the years.

EdgyDude

Mind. Blown.

ZeniGeva

Amazing! I especially liked the part were John Lennon said: "Paul's dead, he's Billy Shears now".

ZeniGeva

eskimo bob

WHAT.

TheRedComet

Now can we FINALLY get some of the original Legend Of Zelda music in this one? Twilight Princess' overworld theme was similar but not exactly the original.

Mueti

So instead of writing a new song they just reused something old and reversed it. Sounds pretty much like what Nintendo do alright.

rockydil

Wow. Who makes these decisions? "OK, guys, we're going to write the Song of Time backwards, and see if anyone notices."

OTLeon

it is not just simply reversed. If you try to reverse other themes, the result would be terrible.

Scuffles

Wow cool, does this mean Nintendo going to go all Valve on us with their first party IPs?

Lykwid

That's cool. It's a common composition technique, it's called Retrograde. It's not lazy at all, it gives the piece a new sound while invoking the same feel of the original. Go listen to "Born Free" and the Star Wars theme. I don't remember which was written first, but it's the same thing as here.
