The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Trailer Music Played Backwards is Awesome Easter Egg [Video]

At this year’s Game Developers Conference, Nintendo showed off a trailer for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. YouTube user FPawesome1 found an amazing little easter egg hidden in the trailer: If played backwards, the music may just drown you in a fangasm of nostalgia. I’ll wait while you listen to the trailer, then the audio extract.

All done? How awesome was that? For those scratching their heads, first off, for shame. Secondly, that was Zelda’s Lullaby from Ocarina of Time, one of the most iconic pieces of music in video game history. Thirdly, for shame.

It never occurred to me that Link in Japan would grunt Japanese grunts. That was weirder to me than the song.

Aren’t those exactly the same grunts from Twilight Princess? What is Japanese about a grunt?
Edgarska

actually, it’s a song from a link to the past

Yeah, Zelda’s Lullaby was first heard in A Link To The Past…
