The cutscene where this plays made me so sad. At the beginning, Zelda is just a normal girl, Link's friend, who he spends almost half the game looking for because he cares about her and wants to make sure she's alright. When he finally finds her, so much has changed, they are now saddled with the great burden of destiny, and now she must sleep for millennia.

What gets me the most about this moment that things can never go back to the way they were. Those happy days of flying with each other and living in the academy will never come back, they will never just be Link and Zelda anymore. This song reminds me of how painful it is to grow up and accept your destiny, that things will change with the passing of time, and your childhood will not last forever.

I find it incredibly fitting how one of the places where Zelda's Lullaby is played is when Zelda realizes that the old woman is indeed Impa. In Ocarina of Time, Impa tells Link that she played that same lullaby for Zelda ever since she was a baby. So to hear it played here, it makes it clear that it was more than just a friendship. It was like love between a mother and daughter. Zelda's mother died before the events of the game, so I wouldn't be surprised if Zelda looked up to Impa like a mother. The mother she never had growing up.

I cried like a baby when my bride walked down the aisle to this beautiful song.

This has such a Wii sound; reminiscent of Super Mario Galaxy's soundtrack.

[UltimateTS]

This version specifically is my favorite. It's even crazier when you realize the Ballad of the Goddess is this, just backwards

[Zinj]

This is absolutely the best version of this song. Across all games, covers, symphonies, this is the best. Soft, melancholy, and beautiful.

I really want to play Skyward Sword but I only have the switch, I already completed Botw and skyward sword and twilight princess are such good zelda games in the franchise I really want to try.. I wish they port it to the switch this year..

I have never been able to watch the scene where Zelda seals herself in that crystal without crying. It’s the one scene in a video game that consistently makes me cry out of genuine sadness and this song is such a big factor. It’s so elegant and perfect. Definitely my favourite rendition of Zelda’s Lullaby

i suffer from severe case of insomnia and sleep paralysis ever since. and before i head to sleep my wife reminds me to listen to this song and make sure it stays on loop so i can sleep every night, instantly became my lullaby, this song helps me sleep

That moment when you realize you memorized a melody you didn’t know the name of

[troller]

Eine tiefe Verbundenheit, Treue, Sehnsucht, als auch der Wunsch nach besseren Tagen ist hier zu finden.
Wie ein Wiegenlied, dass verspricht, dass alles gut wird und doch von dem Wissen getragen ist, dass dies leider nur bedingt der Fall ist.

This song fits and feels like something out of a good Ghibli movie.

[ratbastard]

out of all the zelda's lullaby covers, this one is the best one in my opinion.

[dnomcxq]

Funny it got taken down a few weeks ago and I‘m kinda loving you now..

[melhigbee]

I love the Zelda series, it has such a heartwarming story.

[samw]

Probably the best rendition of Zelda’s Lullaby in the entire series in my opinion

[yeossoyabean]

This rendition is so beautiful! It gives me the feels it makes me wanna cry everytime I listen 😭. Hearing this gives me the vibes of attending a 30th anniversary symphony concert in esplanade theatre

[BearsGlazer]

This is so iconic. One of the best songs in video history.

My cat died a few days ago, I used to play skyward sword with her on my lap, I’ll never experience it again
