Beedle's Shop Ship - Zelda: Wind Waker║Reorchestration

A reorchestration of Beedle's Shop Ship from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (and also reused in Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks and Skyward Sword). It was originally composed by Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, and Koji Kondo and therefore all rights go to the sound team and to Nintendo.
My partner gifted me a soprano ukulele for my birthday and so for no other reason other than that, and the fact this song will forever play in a loop in the back of my mind, I decided to arrange it on a whim. Technically not a full reorchestration and more of a remaster I suppose, this cover has the most amount of live recorded instruments than any other on my channel, featuring me, myself and I playing both a soprano and tenor ukulele, lap steel, bongos and all the auxiliary percussion (shakers, etc).
Some additional bonus facts as there's not a lot to say about this one:
One day I came across and bought a copy of the Spectrasonics Supreme Beats percussion sample library CD for the large sum of $2, which has sat on my CD shelf and occasionally been used here and there. BUT while doing research on this track I found out the original guiro sample as heard on the track in-game, actually comes from that exact same sample library, so I dug it out and reused it in my arrangement. I also recorded the original marimba-esque sound heard on the in-game track - the 'Nomad Perc' preset from a friend's Roland JV-1080 (although it's buried in the mix and almost impossible to hear). In any case, pretty neat huh?

Kind of like a mix of Wind waker, Skyward sword and especially Spongebob at 0:45. Amazing rendition by the way!

[@jwoodsonmusic]

I audibly laughed when Beedle’s voice popped up in the intro. Amazing orchestration as always. Love the instrumentation here.

[@diamondcon712]

Yeah and it’s even funnier at the end when he goes “Bye!” Totally caught me off guard 😂

[@pandaposse2640]

[@diamondcon712]

Happy to give this master piece it’s first like! Edit: I unfortunately had to remove my like to re-like it so it would go back to the top of my playlist.

[@Duhemsounds]

You've well worked on the fun/chill sides of that track Matthew

[@MaltyCrab]

Love thisss

[@blackboard212]

would you mind if i used this in my streams/videos? i adore the original but your version is amazing and i would love to include it in my content.

[@MatthewNewsomeComposer]

Thank you so much - I don't mind at all! If you like I can send you a link to a version that loops a lot longer and also one without the little snippets of Beedle's voice?

Hi there breda Matthew! Wooooah this is such a beautiful rendition!!!🐸💚 I am sorry to jump in between other comments but I believe this is the most appropriate space to ask; my name is Froggie and I also have a YT channel, I had to ask you ‘cuz I would also love to use your song in one of my videos; question two is: have you got a strike from Nintendo? TYSM breda nice to meet ya, and I”ll be checking all of your songs.✌️

@@FRGTV_official Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words! Unfortunately, I can't 100% guarantee that my covers are entirely copyright safe to use in videos or on streams - while I personally have no issue with anyone using the music, since I am not the sole copyright holder of my cover songs, there's a chance you 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 be subject to copyright flags by the original rightsholders of the compositions (in this case, Nintendo as you say). However, as of yet I've not recieved a single strike from Nintendo, at all, in any way, and other people have used my music for content in the past and also have not received any sort of copyright flag or strike as well. If you'd still like to use my covers, I'd greatly appreciate crediting my name as well as the name of the original composer of the piece - thank you for your support and best of luck with your videos!

[@FRGTV_official]

​@@MatthewNewsomeComposerYes, I understand you cannot guarantee those kinda things breda!! I was just curious 'cuz knowing Nintendo, well, I expected you would already got one strike.... And yep, I would definitely credit you, but regardless that is not a problem, with your info I will likely use the original song and hope for the best! TY for excellent info and great music!
