A Symphonic Metal Tribute to The Legend of Zelda
Музыка
70 million happy gamers, 16 games, one* green-clad, sword-wielding, pointy-eared hero. Yes, that's right, it's a Symphonic Metal Tribute to Nintendo's legendary series of games, The Legend of Zelda! This is my attempt to capture and distill the epic scope of the Zelda adventures into 12 minutes of orchestral metal madness.
(It mostly ended up being based on Ocarina of Time. Eh, whatever. It has the best soundtrack.)
All guitars, bass, drum programming and orchestral programming / arrangements by me (The L-Train). Music composed by Koji Kondo et al. The Legend of Zelda is owned by Nintendo.
Tracklist:
0:00 - Legend Of Zelda Theme
0:51 - Hyrule Field (Ocarina of Time)
2:38 - Item Get
2:51 - Zelda's Lullaby
4:04 - Great Fairy's Fountain
4:59 - Saria's Song
5:43 - Song Of Storms
6:23 - Song Of Time
6:57 - Death Mountain (Twilight Princess)
7:37 - Secret
7:39 - Palace Theme (The Adventure of Link)
8:27 - Mid-boss Battle (Majora's Mask)
9:01 - Ganondorf's Battle (Ocarina of Time)
10:03 - Last Battle (Ocarina of Time)
10:48 - Rescue Princess Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)
11:00 - Legend Of Zelda Theme (reprise)
11:36 - Zelda's Lullaby (reprise)

Glad you liked it! However there's not really anything else to the Goron City theme musically so I'm not really sure how I'd extend it...

rammice Ocarina of Time was and still is my favorite of all them. I did never beat Majora's mask. The part of the game where everything went upside down just pissed me right off. Got tired of it quick. But I have the Nintendo 64 version of Ocarina of Time and the Game cube version with all the other Zelda game series leading before and after. Not a fan of the face remodeling versions, just not my thing. But I'm sure it worked it's magic on whom ever childhoods is still innocent and he/she is hitting up the big nostalgia feels the Game it self. I'm still hoping for a movie or 2 for this game. Hopefully someone would do it justice and make it a part series of movies taking their time like they did for Avitar , which was in the making since the late 90's for production./coreografia and life like elements and added Graphics..

***** I don't think the magic can ever be recreated, sad to say. I never played past Majora's Mask because I never had a gamecube or Wii or anything like that, only N64/SNES/Gameboy. Give Majora's Mask another try though; the Stone Temple level can be confusing but you'll get it. Collect all the masks on your own and finish the game, you won't regret it.

Majora hi
Holy SH!T. At the beginning you had my interest. At 1:00 or so, you were losing me a bit. AT 2:37, my ENTIRE WORLD CHANGED. At 4:13 I wanted to play every Zelda game again. At 4:35 I wanted to recode the game with your music instead. At 4:58 the headbanging began as well as a few hand gestures. At 5:45 the moshing began causing much damage to my office. I took a water break at 6:25 only to spit the water out after a few seconds and embrace a floaty state of trance. Then the new beat starts with the guitar. I immediately began Tattooing myself until about 8:05 when the moshing started again. Fresh tattoo prints all over the walls now. I took antipsychotic meds about 8:56 or so due to the building tension which caused me to collapse into convulsions about 9:45 until 10:10 when Gannon himself infused me with dark energy and my eyes turned into flaming bolts of evil. At 10:57 Link himself came and slapped the Gannon out of me, put me on his horse and began barreling through the countryside. That is until he started making sexual advances on me about 11:45. It got swanky so I gave in at 12:02. The rest is history.

Welcome back in 2024
I literally started to cry when the Song of Time came on... ;-; They were tears of joy though
Someday one of links reincarnations will wield a combination of all the legendary swords he has ever had in all the games. They will all be reformed together into one ultimate blade. Only then will the curse of demise be erased and the cycle end.
That change from the Great Fairy Fountain theme to Saria's Song was so perfect :O
I would seriously pay to see this live.
The legend of Zelda... it s the only video game with an univers so much deep and build !! The alliance of the Legend and the Metal is AWESOME
Can we just agree that no matter what style it's played in Zelda's Lullaby is beautiful
This was absolutely fucking beautiful from start to finish!
8:26 Sudden metal is sudden
Zora guitar + links adventures = the most beautiful and perfect band
Hooray, someone noticed! Yeah, I have a new set of studio monitors that are much better than the speakers I was using before, plus a few new plugins and some techniques I picked up while working on another project (my band's debut album).

YES!!! I remember when I was in middle school I was obsessed with it, me and some friends used to play it on weekends and I was unbeatable, all vs all, 3vsLink (me), UNBEATABLE!!! We used to play on Hyrule temple all the time because it was the biggest stage and of course the music, that was around 2004, and like 2 years ago I heard the song again and I'm not lying, I got chills on my whole body and even a tear in my eye, so awesome. I love the legend of Zelda!!!
Not even thirty seconds in and I'm getting goosebumps
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! ZELDA HAS SOME OF THE BEST SONGS IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY!!!
Dang! I wanna play Ocarina of Time over again cause of this!
OH MY GODDDD!!!!!! BRAVO!!! JUST BRAVO!!!! Nothing has gotten me this flustered in a long LOOOONG time!!! You have no idea how much I needed this in my life. You are truly a genius!!! Thank you so much for being a part of this magnificent universe!!! You are a true gift. ^_^

I have been a fan of the Zelda games for a long time so when someone dose something like this I tend to be a bit critical about it. After listing to the whole thing I was really impressed with how you mixed the different songs together and how you reworked the songs them self. This was really well done and I have to say I loved it.
You seriously have no idea how much I'm crying right now...
Oh my god, this is the best metal cover/medley type video I've ever heard. I can't stop listening to it lol. Definitely takes talent and an understanding of the guitar to play this. Did you do this by ear?

For everyone who doesn't actually know every single one of these songs...every Zelda song covered in this AMAZING tribute... 0:00 to 0:50 - The ORIGINAL Legend of Zelda Theme 0:50 to 2:37 - Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time (including the music change when you encounter an enemy) 2:37 to 2:51 - Treasure Chest Opening Theme 2:51 to 4:04 - Zelda's Lullaby 4:04 to 4:58 - Fairy Fountain Theme 4:58 to 5:46 - Saria's Song/The Lost Woods Theme 5:46 to 6:26 - Song of Storms 6:26 to 6:56 - Song of Time 6:56 to 7:36 - Death Mountain/Goron's Theme from Twilight Princess 7:37 to 8:24 - Zelda II Temple Theme (also from Super Smash Bros. Melee) 8:25 to 9:00 - Ocarina of Time Boss Theme (minus King Dodongo and Volvagia) 9:00 to 10:02 - Ganondorf's Theme from Ocarina of Time 10:02 to 10:46 - Ganon's Theme from Ocarina of Time 10:47 to 11:35 - The version of the Legend of Zelda Theme from A Link to the Past (which is the original theme but remixed) 11:35 to 12:16 (the end) - Zelda's Lullaby So most of these are from Ocarina of Time, but that doesn't take away anything. Still awesome!

This is my favorite Zelda piece I've ever heard. And This is coming from someone who went to the Symphony of the Goddess. Edit: Sorry, that was a massive understatement. Listening to this song gives me chills, until it brings tears to my eyes. When I'm alone, I can't help bobbing my head and moving my hands to the music, and some of the chords just make me lie back drinking in the sound in a state of pure bliss. Forget limiting it to Zelda, this is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.
