Hey guys! It feels great to be back with some more Ocarina of Time metal! It's been waay too long.
I've been wanting to do this battle theme forever. The original composition and arrangement for it is nothing short of genius. Believe it or not, the time signature for this piece is 23/16!! How does one even compose that let alone make it so memorable!?
The theme gives the theme such a unsettling vibe which is perfect for taking on the king of evil. I felt confident going into this arrangement that I was going to absolutely shred it!
Of course, I felt that I had to open with the amazing "Ganondorf's Theme" to set the tonne. This theme is significantly simpler and follows a regular 4/4 time signature. However the chord progression is so beautifully evil and eerie, it leads up perfectly to the battle theme.
I couldn't resist attempting a djent breakdown in 23/16 as well later in my arrangement, I'm actually still floored in disbelief how sick it turned out. I totally thought It wouldn't be possible!
I hope you guys enjoy this super evil jam as much as I enjoyed making it ~ thanks so much for watching, and don't forget, Hyaa HEYT SHEAYT!
➤ The original Ganondorf Battle Theme from the game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" was composed by Koji Kondo
Thanks so much to Toegoff for the game footage. Check out his awesome play through of Ocarina of Time on his channel!

I have to give this a rating of 23/16 for that fricken OG time signature!

[@ASingerforGod]

23 is number 1!

[@MaskedRakoon]

Yessir!

[@jordanrobshaw1406]

​@@ASingerforGodway too awesome of a reference

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

This song touched me Djently

[@bilbomcbaggins]

1:26 is some crazy Dream Theater esque shit and I love it. This is fucking awesome man.

[@WaterMusic34]

Awesome stuff

[@kjl3080]

reminds me of a specific riff in dance of eternity

[@alexanderbean7737]

"This is cool and all but it's the castle theme not the battl-- oh damn. Wow what a sick transition"

[@jonathan_8747]

Didn't fight him with the bottle 3/10

[@Zzsnake217]

😂😂😂

[@BitQuest]

Missed opportunity to play slide guitar with an empty bottle.

[@ToxicxEternity]

BitQuest aahhh damn!! I'll follow through on that for Ganon's theme :)

[@BitQuest]

Awesome, looking forward to it!

[@binjiling]

You're making the fucking best metal covers of all youtube man, keep it up !!

[@dannymusic]

The rhythm in this tune is off the hoooook! Ganondorf's going down!

[@Azurada23rd]

This mix is too sick for you! I command you to give those headphones to me!

[@rocknatex5013]

Link! I can't help it! Because of the riffs of awesomeness, I can't help but rock out!

[@LoneHunter828]

Link has equipped the Master Gutair

[@christinanioti1066]

I knew that this song was metal material but this is the perfect rendition of what a Dream Theater Djent Instrumental song would be.

[@RoWiGRaTH]

Jack do you have the Triforce of Power Metal on your hand? Because oh my lord, this was so damn good. I'm literally blown away!

[@JosiahEverhart]

Aww yea

[@dreamtheater6343]

Hey dude. I just want to say that this music has been saving me lately. I watched this while having a really down day recently, and all these memories of better times flooded my brain. I lumped up in my throat and felt tears welling up, I don't know why? LOL. I guess nostalgia be like that sometimes. Anyway, just wanted to say you're an amazingly talented dude and this rendition was awe-inspiring. I've been listening to your playlists while working and it's giving me new life and inspiration. Keep up the amazing work, and when I get some extra cash to spare, I'll be sure to drop a few in your Patreon bucket. Thank you :...)

[@rehydratedganondorf4244]

You did great on playing my theme

[@ArtificialFear]

Whew. This is sick, bro! \m/

[@lonleylink507]

the song is in 23/16 time, i feel so sorry for you

[@Ujiyo]

Name a metal track that has any level of intensity that's slow paced. I'll wait. Lol

[@twilightsithstephenbutler9746]

Absolutely amazing and brutal at the same time 🤘😈🤘

[@gabocarina96]

Hell yes!!! :D Dang, this might be a new favorite for me along with your Gruntilda's Lair cover...! SOLID.

[@willx6394]

Ive always wanted to do metal covers of games. Love your work

[@derpderpington158]

Listening to this has convinced me that if Nintendo ever decides to remake OoT a third time, they need to hire you to remake the soundtrack

[@SurprisedPikachu247]

I mean l, the remake was 13 years after the original, and and 2011 was 13 years ago. Hmmmm

[@The_Boba_Fettuccine]

man, all your covers are so fucking clean, keep it up dude! love all your work

[@mangomegs2761]

Wow dude, this sounds insanely hard! Keep up the good work!! 😵😵

[@ToxicxEternity]

It was SUPER challenging but rewarding. Mainly remembering the picking patterns of 23/16 time haha. Thanks so much :D

[@roberthenderson9478]

One of my favorites so far, fuckin badass dude

[@dustyleggs]

Ayye this is super clean, I'd love to hear the Ganon fight as well

[@RoPanuganti]

I love you.

[@ToxicxEternity]

[@Nintendofan-uv6fs]

ToxicxEternity I would love to see u do Andross first battle theme and final boss(brain) theme cover on Star Fox 64?

[@Ujiyo]

When do we get a metal Ganondorf fight for real? I want Dark Souls difficulty Gabondorf goddamn it! The ONLY Gabon that was in the least bit a challenge was the OG Ganon from the first Zelda. All thenothers were pathetic. Edit: Listen to at 1.25x speed. Thrash Ganondorf is real.

[@drownless6528]

Im doing ganon's castle and got ate by a sheild eating monster and spit off the edge, loosing my red tunic. Not even sure if its still there, I went to kill the thing and hopfully get it back, using hover boots to go over platforms fast, and having to shoot a torch with a fire arrow to activate the platforms. I ran out of arrows, so I left to look for pots, there were literally NONE, and I think the tunic is gone cuz I also died and just... >-

[@horde616]

For those 7 dislikes this guy always adds his own syles to playing these covers you have to appriciate him adding his own musical identity to the covers. I appriciate him not playing the covers note for note. So you haters can go somewhere else with your negativity. Toxic youre awsome man.

[@platinumequinox]

OH HELL YEA! You're the best Eternity!

[@NUGGet-3562]

The only thing that could make this better is if Jack was playing the organ himself, like Ganondorf does in the game. That would be awesome lol

[@HurricaneSparky]

If Dream Theater composed the final boss theme this is what it would sound like.

[@sebastiancruz7106]

nose si soy el unico suscriptor español aqui pero es buena su musica es divertido como las canciones de videojuegos se vuelvan cover metal de guitarra

[@Sean-Ax]

So Ganondorf is Ron Jarzombek? I felt like I was listening to Blotted Science!! I never realized how dark and rhythmically complex the Ganondorf battle theme is.

[@fangsabre]

Yeah, the time signature is 23/16

[@xulxer9077]

Bruv, thanks for accomplishing this dream for me!

[@mr_pants278]

Awesome cover. I'd love to see Twilight Princess' Ganondorf battle theme done, seems like a lot of people forgot how cool that one was.

[@sirensongbird]

is good

[@OuterSpace90]

God i love these. Too epic sir! Love Ocarina!

[@Ellisdx3]

You had fun with this one, Good job!

[@Idunn2002]

That is good😁😁

There we goooooooo!!

[@Dragonfly_Doom]

Oh man, this is a cover I didn't realise I *needed*. Good shit as always Jack! \m/ >_< \m/

[@milanmalfait9914]

I just beat Master Core on 9.0 with Ganondorf on Smash 3DS. I'm insanely proud. #GanondorfMainForever

[@fangsabre]

Amazing work! How was it working around such a unique time signature? For real though, when I think "Boss Music" it's gotta be Ganondorf. Nothing has ever stressed me out more than figuring out how to fight Ganondorf while this music is sending my entire fight or flight reflex on fire

[@ok1989fish]

Supreme, epic, godly!! What else can I say? The beginning of this rendition reminds me of “One Winged Angel” from FF7! Quite remarkable as always my friend! Keep the amazing work as always!

[@DarthSironos]

An important piece of my childhood has been metalized. This is awsome.

[@supersmashcovers2008]

🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

[@NUGGet-3562]

I had never heard this until you played it, and now I'm wondering where it's been all my life. This is sick! I love the creepy vibe it gives off, those kinds of songs are always awesome, especially when they're metal!

[@OhBlivEUn]

You never played Zelda Ocarina of Time?

ToxicXEternity, you know you should have used the Nintendo 3DS version of Ocarina of Time. I like that version better.

[@NoCantsAllowed]

HAAAAAA! I just noticed you like to right-hand-anchor with your little-finger under the high-e! I do that same shit! Hahaha! Nice

[@thinkstump]

Zelda Informer brought me here. Great cover! \m/

[@KainWhiteMusic]

Jack please. Your sustain fucks me up too much. Teach me your mixing ways please? Oh yeah and this cover is really fucking cool. Certain sections give me a huge In Flames vibe.

[@ToxicxEternity]

haha you know i'm here to help! thank you man.

please god tell me old in flames ;P

Ganondorf is suddenly more challenging :)

Some sections kinda sound like Liquid Tension Experiment... good job, man

[@Angelic2142]

This is so evil. You fuckin killed it once again jack, :hyd:

[@user-hp6pj4sy3k]

This guy shreds! Not sure why but the Ganondorf theme was always my favorite song from Ocarina of Time. It's much better than the music for the final battle with Ganon!

[@HailsBails454]

I wish to hear the full version of this for 15 minutes!!!!! Kickass job!!!!

[@pinksakurablossoms]

I absolutely LOVE your metal covers! Great work!

[@WaterMusic34]

Good grief man... I almost never say this, but this is epic!! This deserves an award. Can't believe I haven't seen this video until now.

[@lazygan8576]

It's a shame this seems to be one of your only songs not on Spotify 😔😔 could you add it?

[@SK-il8fv]

2:17 onwards made me subscribe. You made 23/16 feel catchy, outstanding

[@DarkShadowRage]

I just get done doing Link to the past randomizer and i get met with this face melting cover. amazing

[@tylerturner4176]

You're so underrated bro. Best cover of this out. Heavy but true to the original. I need a heavy Meteor Herd cover from SA2 so bad!

[@BIGBODYDARWIN]

This is so fucking cool, how are more people not watching these videos

[@hyfowlf]

If you told somebody in this was Zelda music they would not believe you

[@CASPERIOUZ]

i recently found this and i am not regretting it one bit THIS IS AWESOME!!

[@ZoharEmulator]

Sick arrangement, I think it will quickly become a fan favourite! :D Also, I believe there's a typo in the description: "the theme gives the theme..."

[@theretrosilvergamer7061]

Think you could do sonic lost world ost? Either the boss rush (guitar ver.) Or the showdown with eggman theme. That would be great

[@YoungVincent216]

If ocarina of time was an anime 😤😤😤😤😤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😡😡😡😡😡

[@OtakuGunsoNY]

Who else gets all the way up in Ganondorf's face??? I get on the close ledge and beat him xD

[@Thats_funny_yo]

Dude just turned this into a Dragon ball z battle.

[@civilwildman]

Brings back the memories of doing this fight for the first time. My pulse pounding, my palms sweating, my fingers trembling... but I did it. I made that tyrant look like a spoiled brat who got scolded for once in his life compared.

[@MrEdude100]

Sounds like Haken lol

[@NUGGet-3562]

Oh my gosh frick yes it does lol I love me some Haken

[@rickykeim2005]

so Ive been wondering do you record your own game footage too? your covers are so heavy and awesome. great work.

[@KurisuKagato]

**Dies of epic badassery** Holy FUCK is this good! It's like the Triforce of Power Metal! Awesome music, man. \m/

[@newtspencer5918]

I love how your compositions are maturing more every video. Whoever marked this thumb's down is a foolish mortal who will live out their existence as a sad bottled poe.

[@BladeofmoonlightKitto]

Im so impressed by the level of quality on your music production it can match anything by big labels for sure

[@samuslightsuit]

Didn't think a seven year jump could become more awesome! You got skillz!

[@Cetra29]

Pretty sure the organ sound at the beginning comes from his guitar as well. That's how good he is.

[@anthonylaymon-jones1399]

Haha, Nintendo didn't even realize they were creating metal. Amazing job Toxic!

[@TheCreepypro]

somehow better simply incredible

This by far the best cover of this song on KZbin.

[@chaosmiles07]

This sounds really good for an Agahnim's Theme cover. ... Anyone else see what I did there?

[@mikevanvoorst6815]

So far, only Ganondorf dislikes. Great memorable theme though.

[@PinkLunatic]

The four people that hit the dislike button did it by mistake

Man. Took that shizz to eleven!

[@patricialloyd3879]

This cover has me so pumped!! Makes me wish I had this game again :)

Ocorina of time....arguably the most famous zelda game.... all boils down to an epic battle.... of hot potato.... LMAO!

And THEN.... escaping the falling tower to then defeat the demon pig ganon.... with a stick!
