Breath of the Wild Divine Beasts S.O.S

[Castle]

So apparently someone's noticed that the Divine Beasts are sending out an S.O.S - the universal distress signal - at the beginning of the first phase of each musical theme for the divine beasts.

Has anyone noticed that all the Divine Beasts play morse code saying S.O.S. when you first enter them?

This is old news but it's the first I'm hearing it and I don't remember it being reported here on ZD before.

I heard about this a while ago too, it is a nice touch but it is a shame that the game itself really doesnt sell the sadness of the loss of the Champions because the way the story is told and presented is so borked.

Something like an S.O.S call from the beasts should add to the heartache even if you hear the news after playing the game but it doesn't, because the game didnt do the themes it was going for justice.

Ima be honest here- it sound like just a coincidence to me. It is pretty cool though.

There are few things more haunting than an SOS automatically looping long after.

I agree, shame how badly it flew under the radar.

I heard about this the other day too, but I was too lazy to actually listen for it after hearing about it. Apparently there are some theories of how soon in the song's progression that it occurs being when the respective champion died in their Divine Beast, although that in the literal sense doesn't make much sense since the champions wouldn't be progressing through the beast in the identical manner that Link did. Either way, it was said to be noteworthy that Vah Medoh's "SOS signal" was abrupt, suggested Revali had to swallow his pride to even "cry for help"/realize he wasn't gonna win.

I don't hear it myself, but to make sure it's not the little back and forth sound at about 20 or 21 seconds in is it? Cause that just sounds like the background music.
