Name That Tune Contest: Episode IX - The Legend of Zelda Edition #2


A new Zelda Name That Tune Contest for the heck of it. I hope people take part. A lot of people enjoyed the last one, which was too long ago.

All rules are below, but a quick pointer on certain things for this one:

Some games have more than one track in there. I need the clear subtitle of the game you think each one is from. There'll be no half-points this time around; it's either right or wrong.

No extra points for telling me the name of the song or place it is played in.

I will not accept entries if you list two games in the same answer. e.g. putting "Oracle of Ages/Seasons" or "Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask" is going to be classed as wrong. Likewise, if you put something like "Oracle series," that's also going to be wrong. I need you to decide which game it is you are picking and tell me that. It will be classed as wrong unless you resubmit with a correction!

Remember: in tie situations, whoever PM'd me first is considered the winner, so while you do need to think carefully, try not to consider leaving it too late. As the rules say below, you can resubmit, but the time of your new entry will be taken instead of when you sent your first one.

Leave feedback below, as well as ideas for future Name That Tune editions.

Enjoy!


 

To Enter


All you have to do is listen to the 25 music clips in the above YouTube video, and tell me which game they come from. PM me your entry! Do not post your answers in this thread or anywhere else on the forum. Please title your PM something relevant, like "Contest Entry from (your username)", and if you don't have an answer for a clip, leave it blank (but guessing is always wise!).

Example:
1. Tetris
2. Super Mario 64
3.
4. Donkey Kong Land

Scoring


1 point for a correctly guessed game.
Half a point for guessing the correct series. (no half-points in this edition)

So if the game was Super Mario World, but you guessed Super Mario Bros 3, you'd get half a point.

There's no penalty for a wrong answer, so just guess if you don't know! You could get a half point or even better!

Prizes


Stars are the rewards. Everyone finishing in the top 5 will receive a set amount of stars. Anyone that finishes outside of the top 5 will receive 1 star for participating.

1st place - 20 stars
2nd place - 10 stars
3rd place - 5 stars
4th place - 3 stars
5th place - 2 stars

Closing Date


Not sure yet. Will see how many entries I get after a week. Might run for a week or two. I'll announce in the thread more of an exact time to close it.

Rules, Tips and Notes


1. This edition has a Zelda theme. Every track is from a Zelda game. Some games have more than one track.

2. Do not post your answers in this thread or elsewhere on the forum. PM me your answers.

3. No asking for answers or discussing the answers with others on here. That would be completely unfair for those genuinely trying hard. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified.

4. If you want to submit a correction, you can. Just PM me again with your updated answers.

5. In the events of equal scores, whoever PM'd me first will be taken into consideration as to who wins. Your most recently-submitted entry will be taken if you corrected something, so bear this in mind.

6. If a song has appeared in more than one game, post the instance that this version appears from. If the version is in more than one game, posting any of the games it appears in is acceptable.

7. Don't worry if you think you cannot guess them all. Do your best and take a guess; you could still get a half point or even better! There is no penalty for a wrong answer! (No half-points in this contest, though).

8. No extra credit is given to guessing the name of the song. It would make it more difficult to guess the song name, so just the name of the game only please!

9. Be exact in your answer. If the game is a sequel, include the full title, sequel number or subtitle.

10. I will announce the winners in this thread as soon as I've counted up the scores after the contest ends.

Entered! Tough one this.

Cubed3 Admin/Founder & Designer

It is tbh. I would struggle with it as well, because I've only played through games like ST, PH, SS, FSA, ALBW etc. just the once.

It doesn't take me long to whip these up, so can make an easier one next time.

A tough one! Not played ALBW or FSA so have had to completely guess a few that I think are from them. I like these sort of quizzes!! Smilie

I'm same, I haven't played A Link Between Worlds and there are surely a lot out there I can't remember, but still managed to nail down a good few ones, so will be sending in my list. I am guessing we can send many times, just the last list will count right?

Whatever the case, I'm not sure about all of them, but I'll still send in my picks for now.

Stars for everyone if I come last Smilie

Cubed3 Admin/Founder & Designer

Yep, Rudy - can send as many entries as you like, but last list is the only one that counts, and will determine the order if there are ties (whoever sent first, wins).

Our member of the week

Had to send in an updated list, finally nailed one that I was sure I had heard playing before but couldn't pinpoint. Had to shuffle around some wild guesses too, but there are still several which I can't even remember ever hearing before Smilie.

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

Thanks to those who've entered so far.

Hopefully some others enter too. Pretty much all 10 of the people who entered the last Zelda tune contest are still here.

There's some I've heard but just couldn't remember which games they were from. I know for sure I've got some wrong or mixed up with other Zelda games.

I had to make a few wild guesses, too, since there's a few Zelda games I've not played.

Lots of great music in this one.

If you think it'd be worth the time, I'd love to see you do one of these with Final Fantasy. I only listen to these quizzes once. If I don't know first time then I guess haha, Smilie

FF has been one I've always wanted to do, but I don't think we have ever really had enough people here that know the full series really well. Heck, only a handful have taken part in this Zelda one :/

I really would like to, though, so will see.

I think Marzy's gonna make a Rare one next, so I can take part for a change lol.

Our member of the week

Haven't played much of the series beyond 7, 9, 10 and 12, the final fantasy series is so vast and spread across so many platforms that I could never keep up Smilie. But should make things all the more interesting Smilie.

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

I'll try to enter by the end of the week, hopefully. I'm sick again, so I haven't been in the mood to think about answers to this after I get home from work. Wouldn't want to send a half-assed entry when I've got my reputation as a Zelda fan on the line here.

I'll probs close it on Saturday or Sunday. Then Marzy can hopefully post his right after.

This is far too difficult for me unfortunately. Smilie

Just guess lol. You aren't the only one who found this tough.

It's the taking part that counts. And it won't make me think it was a complete waste of time lol.

Plus, stars. Everyone loves stars.

André told me he'd enter but that might be tomorrow, so I'm holding on. Still time for people to enter.

I'll probably look to close it tomorrow.

I'll have my entry ready a bit later today.

Results are in!

Congratulations to Rudy, who wins with 20 correct answers!

Rudy is above SirLink for sending his entry first.

Quite a few tricky ones in there, I'm sure you'll agree.

I will leave the handing out of Stars for the time being, in case any one has any disputes with their scores.

Thanks for playing, guys. Would be nice to get more people joining in, but I still think it's fun to do.

Marzy should be posting his contest after this one now.

I don't know how you counted my points Az, but I just checked, I only got 5 wrong. 25 minus 5... should be twenty shouldn't it ?

I got the following wrong to be exact :

2 - 9 - 14 - 18 - 22

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

I'm so sorry Rudy. This is why I don't dish them out straight away!

I write the results in blocks of fives in numerals style, like IIIII IIIII IIIII II - and then count them up. I saw the blocks and went "five, ten, fifteen..." and just completely overlooked the last block :/

Apologies, mate - I'm ammending now.

And fixed. Sorry about that. Need to take more care next time -_-

Our member of the week

No worries mate, the result just felt odd compared to my own impression of my results, that's all, that's why I recounted, not out of mistrust Smilie. No biggie.

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

Went better than expected.... XD

The difference between illusion and reality is vague to the one who suffers from the former and questionable for the one suffering form the later.

Putting two from the same game right next to each other is a dirty trick. Az, you cheeky bastard.
