The most controversial Zelda song Thomas Game Docs 2023-04-28 | In the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, there's one single song that has gone down in gaming history as one of Nintendo's few offensive pieces of music - that being the Fire Temple theme. This song used audio samples of real religious chanting, a move which offended players around the world... except, did it?

I also used that MIDI to visualise when the sound is playing.- It’s currently very hard to extract individual elements from the music of N64 games, so I had to do my best to recreate the sounds from the Shadow Temple manually. I think I did an OK job, though it certainly doesn’t sound super similar. Someone with more expertise on N64 sound could do a far better job, but I did my best!
