@Felthry iirc "bolero" is also a musical form, that the specific piece was named after?
@starkatt Is it? We've never seen any other example of it, though.

@starkatt huh! apparently it is, a Cuban style from the 19th century. Never knew that!

@Felthry ...deleted a post because I thought the famous piece with that name was 20th century and American, when in fact it's 20th century and French.
@Felthry I imagine there's something to it, Koji Kondo fucking loves puzzles, but I certainly haven't cracked it. -Katie
@Felthry Ravel's Boléro was named after a dance, and it looks like there's also a musical genre named after that same dance — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolero
@Felthry Anyway my answer is Minuet of Forest!
@Felthry Had to go find and listen to all of them - we don't know Zelda music that well!
I was considering the Prelude of Light and the Serenade of Water, but I voted for the Nocturne of Shadow just for the very lovely dissonances. Just the most interesting for me personally to listen to several times.

@packbat these are given here in the order they're learned in the game, and i think there's some element of making them more complicated as you go along to them? we've always felt that nocturne and requiem are the most interesting ones

it's kinda weird how every one of these but one is named after a *type* of musical piece, and then bolero of fire is named after a specific musical piece (that is has basically nothing in common with)
