Why the Gerudo Valley Theme in Ocarina of Time is such an Amazing Song

On the edge of a harsh desert and the border to Hyrule, lives an encampment of women known as the Gerudo. Who are the Gerudo, what cultural references inspired the Gerudo Lore, and how did Koji Kondo compose the music for the Gerudo Valley Theme? Fascinatingly, the Gerudo Valley theme takes a lot of influence from Spanish Guitar! Please enjoy the next entry in our Zelda music analysis series on Gerudo Valley! This time we focus on Ocarina of Time’s Gerudo Valley and Gerudo Valley Music Theory. Sorry it’s been so long since the last Legend of Zelda Music Analysis video, time sort of got away from me, but I hope you enjoy the newest Ocarina of Time Music Theory, and that it makes clear why the Gerudo Valley Theme in Ocarina of Time is such an Amazing Song.
