Is it just me or is Thomas' voice is just perfect for these kind of things.

I think that the last hummed Song is the captain toad treasure tracker theme

With Fi's theme, it's also worth mentioning that her sound effect from skyward sword also plays in BOTW when you pull the sword out for the first time

7:23 its singing the 1up sound effect but slowed down

Another musical cue:
In ”Jump Up, Superstar”, whenever you hear Paulin sing ”Odyssey, ya see!”, one can hear the baseline of the original Donkey Kong in the chorus…

TGD: makes a video about secrets in video game music.

Zelda and Kirby: "Who has called upon the ancient one?"

1:01 people complain about botw not having enough music, but honestly, they clearly went for quality. The tone and the atmosphere induced by this game's ost are incredible.

There's one other Odyssey musical easter egg that I love (because I found it on accident). The globe on the front of the ship spins if you jump on it, and when you do, it plays an adorable music box version of "Jump Up, Superstar".

Gives me a whole new perspective on Nintendo music. Just picture all of the Easter eggs we missed over the past few decades

Final Song: Mario Super Show.

The final theme hummed by the moe eye sounds a little like the famicon theme, the same one that can be be heard when you speed up the gamecube menu theme.

I absolutely love when music have little easter eggs hidden

the final theme hummed by Moe is Captain Toad's main theme. That's what I hear. But might just be my imagination...

The Moe-Eyes last song sounds like he’s singing Captain Toad’s theme

the way he says the word “game” makes me calm

I like how in Odyssey the "challenge" rooms where you run on glassy surfaces will cause your footsteps to make sounds that match the level music. And if you use the music feature to change the track, your footstep sounds match the chords of your selected track!
