Hey there, I'm Xykrotik and I make video game music covers. I release covers on this channel at no set schedule currently. It can be hard to find motivation sometimes, but coming here to read all the positive comments keeps me going! I'm forever grateful for your support.

While I can't provide you permission to use my music covers in your videos, as you run the risk of copyright claims by the original composer if you do decide to take the risk, PLEASE make sure your video is NOT monetized. Also, please provide written credit as well as a link to my channel! Here’s an example that you’re welcome to copy and paste: (Music provided by Xykrotik: kzread.info)

    What an awesome video!! I know it's been 2 years, but I CRAVE a separate video for the sacred duet just so I can play it on loop. It's honestly the only version of the duet that I've ever really liked aaaaa

    Feels so nostalgic.... Spirit Tracks was my first zelda game, and the DS my first console I remember how I struggled while I was a kid Spent hours on some really dumb things like passing guards without being noticed Couldn't even reach the final boss lol ! It's still as of this day one of the greatest Zelda & Nintendo game. The DS has so much great ones. Pokemon Black & Spirit Tracks are still in my top 5 today

    I am responsible for a youth group, and they asked if there was an arrangement of this piece. can you make this available, and can it be expanded? because in the original I also hear temple blocks and sleighbells, and a snare drum part. Greetings from the Netherlands!

    That's flattering to hear, I'm glad you like it so much. This is a really old cover of mine, back when I was still learning everything, those clipping issues bother me these days too haha. If I ever get back into making covers, I'll probably redo this one at some point, can't say it'll sound the same though as it'd be a new version of it, but maybe it'll be even better!

    Spirit Tracks was so much better than Phantom Hourglass. I did like PH bringing back Wind waker art style and ship sailing play style. I’ve always just preferred the Zelda games with instruments. Those are the best imo.

    Spirit tracks was the first Zelda game I was able to beat. You can make fun of me if you want, but 9 year olds can sometimes be dumb, and I never figured out the Triforce puzzle in phantom hourglass as a younger child lol. Spirit tracks was my childhood, I’ve probably played the game at least 4 times, love it still.

    Now that i think about it this melody at the start reminds me of a train starting up, first we hear the tracks, then the wheels, then the flute, the rest all the sights on the way. Then the bell, 1:42 this just proves it. The chugging of the train.

Great rendition bro, I love that slight heterodyne fuzz like I’m listening on an old radio, or playing it on an old TV like when I was little. Thanks a lot <3

    This is such a great game and a great final boss battle and theme! It is just so amazing and the fact that the overworld theme is through into this theme shows how amazing this battle truly is! You're not just fighting the Demon King....you're also taking down the most powerful and most feared of the final bosses who didn't even get his full power and this was the time to FINISH HIM OFF!! It was amazing! Even Malladus said so himself "This Vessel...is...rejecting my spirit! I'm slipping...from it! I can't hold on for long.. But the world will crumble with the time I have left" Best final battle!

    A little random but here is an idea of mine for a sequel of Spirit Tracks: Some time after ST, the stability of new Hyrule begins to wade, the tracks start disappearing, but only small sections at a time and monsters attack more and more. The Link of this adventure travels through the land, firstly by foot, later possibly on trains, in an effort to push back the darkness and regain the grace of the goddesses back, before New Hyrule ends like Lorule.
