Eva was playing Zelda as I walked in yesterday

[conuly]

Specifically, she was rescuing Yunobo. That is one catchy tune!

But very noticeable and not entirely like the rest of the atmospheric background music I've heard in this game. As we came around to the gongs* again, I asked "So... what's up with this music?"

Jenn: It's abandoned mine music.
Me: That explains it.
Eva: I love how you're pretending that makes sense.
Me: What are you talking about? I'm not pretending.

Eva's right. The music doesn't scream "abandoned mine".

You're right, it does.

Anyway, then she went and helped build Tarrytown for a while, fetching lots of people (all with names ending in -son...) and wood and organizing a wedding. Because this is the important thing to do. The big boss will just spin his wheels while you do all the petty side quests, right? Definitely won't take over the world until you get there, because he just has to see the look on your face! (Besides, that wouldn't be playing fair, now would it?)

* Bells? Deep chimes? Not sure what to call it, honestly.

Okay, there's always the compromise position, I guess.

Chimes: Abandoned Mine!
Drums: ...I'm not feeling this as an abandoned mine music thing.

It's an extremely hot, volcanic mine where you can blow up just by going outside without protective gear.

Okay, that makes a bit more sense, then. I was thinking a cold mine.

Though why this should make sense to either one of us, I just don't know.

Chimes are for hollow, echoing things. Drums are for hot things!
