8-Bit Music Theory: How They Made The Great Sea Feel C U R S E D

Ever wonder how the Wind Waker's "Great Sea" theme goes from epic adventure to utterly C U R S E D? It's all about clever musical tricks! This spooky track uses jarring tritones, clashing harmonies, and even sneaks in nods to other themes (looking at you, Ganondorf!) to transform something heroic into something horrifying.

Basically, they took a beloved tune and messed with it just enough to give us all the shivers, proving music theory can be wonderfully wicked.
