Why is TotK's COLGERA theme SO good?

The Rito line is arguably the coolest of the 4 regional quests in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, not least because of the incredible music along the way. From snowy Rito Village, to the epic climb up to the Wind Temple, to the Wind Temple itself, the stage is perfectly set for what many people agree is the best boss theme in TotK. Everyone especially loves to point out an amazing callback to a fan-favorite theme: Dragon Roost Island.

But just why is this theme so good? And why does the Dragon Roost Island callback hit fans so hard?


Welcome to TuneForge Theory! This channel's all about learning about how music works by diving into what I believe is musically the greatest video game franchise of all time. Whether you're a beginner just learning your basic scales and chords, or a more advanced player interested in learning about tritone subs or modes of the harmonic minor scale or whatever the heck you find fascinating, there'll be something here for you. There will also be future opportunities to vote on upcoming videos once this channel gains some traction, so stick around for that!

Enjoy! :-)


I definitely borrowed the video style, and even the thumbnail style from ‪@CharlesCornellStudios‬ . Gotta say, I love his videos -- if you enjoy things like this you should totally check them out.

Also, ‪@RogersBase‬ ‪@DaviVasc‬ and ‪@murttaghh‬ , your reactions to the theme came super handy for editing. Thought I'd just @ you guys just so you know bits from your vids got used.

Huge shoutout to all three of them! Go check them out!
