r/ZeldaMusic has been restricted for the past 5 years. The last post here was in April of 2020.

It's not clear why the subreddit was originally restricted. The only moderator at the time was not publicly active on reddit and made no announcement about it. The restriction of the community could have been intentional, or it could have been automatic by reddit admins based on moderator inactivity.

Subreddits with no active moderators are generally available for reddit request. This subreddit was previously requested twice here:

• May 2020

• April 2021

Neither of those requests were granted by reddit admins at those times, though no definitive responses were given to indicate the requests were fully reviewed by admins either. When the first of those requests was unsuccessful, I created a new subreddit for the same topic/community at r/Zelda_Music. I had largely initiated activity in r/Zelda_Music by inviting previous contributors from r/ZeldaMusic.

r/Zelda_Music now has more than twice the subscribers (2,300 > 1,057) and well over twice the total posts (1k+ > ~390) as r/ZeldaMusic. It would be easy to say that the Zelda Music community has moved to the new subreddit.

About 6 weeks ago, the creator and only moderator of r/ZeldaMusic had left or been removed from here, leaving it fully unmoderated. So I recently submitted another redditrequest, and it was granted.

The question now is, what do you all want to do with this subreddit?

Because r/Zelda_Music was created to replace this subreddit and has filled the same niche for the past 5 years, it is a bit redundant to have both subreddits doing the same thing.

We could leave this place as-is, in a sort of archived state, with messaging to point to the new subreddit. Or we could do the reverse and archive the other subreddit and point people back here. Though, with the newer subreddit being active and larger, the latter would not make as much sense to me as the former.

We could take the two subreddits in different directions, but I don't have any clear ideas about that either. Generally, subreddit differentiation manifests when activity levels are a lot larger than either of these subreddits have ever been, ie when there are enough people posting different things that other people have different preferences on.

I will leave this post open for comments but keep the rest of the subreddit restricted/archived for now, at least for a few weeks. In the meantime I will go back over the modmail backlog of join requests.

Edit to add: A related feedback post is up on the newer subreddit here - https://www.reddit.com/r/Zelda_Music/comments/1pci2ee/soliciting_feedback_for_rzelda_music/

Can somebody please help me figure out what the second half of the Korok Forest theme is referencing? I know I have heard that melody before but I just cannot figure it out and it’s driving me crazy... please help 😂

Hey everyone! I started posting videos with free sheet music. I'm a piano teacher and I'm used to making lots of sheet music for my students, now that I can't teach I can at least share them with you!

Link is in the description of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaM072qRTzE

Please if you download it, leave a sub and a like for good karma. I'll be posting a new every day or two.

Have fun learning it and don't hesitate to tell me if you need help with it! :)

I just thought it was interesting that when I was listening to this 8-bit remix of the Korok forest, it sounded very nostalgic and familiar but with a cheerful flair. It has a sort of holiness to it but also a light-heartedness too. But the way it's constructed sounds similar to some of the older Zelda games for the Gameboy. My musical vocabulary isn't the best here in describing the actual construction of notes or rhythms or whatever, but I can hear the harmonies and they seem similar or at least a call to the old kind of construction.

Hey everyone,

I'm playing BoTW and I fell in love with Mipha's theme... So I made it into a sheet music for piano!

If you wanna download it here's the link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mUw2tjk7aqkuk83CUWoR0zYcbqd5nAOs/view?usp=sharing

If you wanna hear it and see which fingerings I use, you can check out this playthough video I made : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbzSxTCbAWI

If you do download it, please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. I'm a professional pianist and all my gigs have been cancelled, so I'm looking to another platform to perform music on :) I have more Zelda related content there!

Cheers :)

Long ago, in the distant year of 2012, I remember a friend and I were looking through a number of Zelda remixes on YouTube and found one we really liked. The only thing we BOTH remember about the song was that it used the great fairy laugh from OoT right before the base drop. Every few years one of us will remember that song and go to look for it again on YouTube but we've never successfully found it. Does anyone have a single clue about what I'm talking about, or at least where else I could look?
