Soundtrack Sunday #1 - Animal Crossing: New Leaf Snowy Weather Theme/Hourly Theme (Winter)
In anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, I thought there was no better time to make the first Soundtrack Sunday a winter piece. Today, I’m bringing you the Animal Crossing: New Leaf OST: Snowy Weather Theme, which plays when snow is falling regardless of the hour, and the Hourly Theme (Winter), which changes slightly depending on the time of day.
You’ll often find slowed, reverbed, or remixed versions of these soundtracks on YouTube, such as this one:
I think these versions are just as lovely to listen to as the original OST.
So, what are these songs? What is their purpose, and why are there so many variations? In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, your in-game time matches real-world time. If it’s 12:00 PM in real life, it’s also 12:00 PM in your town. The individual jingles that change throughout the day represent the passage of time. Each season has slightly different versions of these hourly tracks.
I’ve always loved the music in the Animal Crossing series, New Leaf especially. The tracks are soft instrumental pieces filled with gentle melodies that feel like lullabies or music boxes. They perfectly capture the calm, magical feeling of the winter season.
What about you? Do you have a favorite Animal Crossing track or a seasonal game soundtrack that brings you comfort this time of year? I’d love to hear about it below.

Such pretty music! Its not necessarily seasonal music but my fav soundtrack is from Lies of P. You should definitely check it out!
ReplyDeleteThe visuals in that game definitely look nice, so I'm sure the music is great too. Will definitely give it a try 🎶
DeleteLovely illustrations.
ReplyDeleteAnimal Crossing is such a sweet series. The artwork is nostolgic to me since ACCF was my first game I played way back when the Wii was the hottest gaming console around and seeing illustraitions (or screenshots) from the older games in the series bring back so many memories and joy! 💖
DeleteVery interesting.

DeleteNever heard of snow music.
ReplyDeleteIt's a soundtrack from an older game for the 3DS called Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It's just instrumentals, but it's still a sweet soundtrack and enjoyable to listen to while you play! ⛄
DeleteThanks for sharing this soundtracks- they are completely new to me and I enjoyed them especially the 2nd one which is so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you gave them a listen! The little jingles are so soft and sweet!
DeleteI've been listening to a lot of Christmas Music with my daughter. I like the old tracks from the 50s and 60s :-D
ReplyDeleteIt is that time of year to be listening to Christmas music! I prefer a mix of classic and modern Christmas music, I actually just like Christmas music in general, it's all so joyful and makes the season feel alive and happy 🎶❄️🎄
