Koji Kondo | Song Of Healing (The Legend Of Zelda: Majoras Mask Original Soundtrack) Growing up I always has a strong imagination. I’d spend hours by myself constructing alternate realities and engaging in epic adventures and waging war across planets and stars, inhabiting the bodies and lives of bounty hunters, spec ops mercenaries, pilots of galactic cruisers – the list goes on. Even to this day these adventures and fantasies are some of my favorite childhood memories. With this some-what isolated childhood so rooted in Fantasy, it was no wonder that, like many young men my age, I found a more tangible alternate reality within video games. While I enjoyed the actual game play and the simple pleasure of smashing buttons, what I became really enamored with were the stories and the literal image following/manifesting my actions and choices. Without a doubt, no other games captured my imagination and heart like The Legend Of Zelda series in terms of sheer scope and beauty of both the story and the universe they inhabited. There was just one aspect however that I would not fully grasp the importance of until much later though: the Music. I played the games long before I really became interested in Music, but, unbeknownst to me, my first ever real emotional responses were occurring with out me even realizing it. I sincerely believe that the primary reason that Majora’s Mask is such a beautifully potent and tragic game is due to the painfully simple 4 note theme that is Song Of Healing. A song able to heal lost and dejected spirits in the game universe as well as evoking an inexplicable sadness and sense of yearning that has followed me for the last 15 years amongst all the Music I’ve listened to and experienced. Although I could not have planned it or anticipated it, this was likely my very first favorite song.
