Ocarina Of Time: A Prog/Metal Medley

After 3 months of work, here it is, my crazy weird Legend Of Zelda OOT prog metal medley thing :) I've definitely learnt a lot over the course of making this, so see this as a starting point where things will iterate and improve from in the future. I purposely tried to choose songs that Dr. Pez didn't use in his medley, that's why you got the minigame song.
The Lon Lon Ranch part got the video copyright claimed unfortunately. I'm not sure if it's even Nintendo doing it, but oh well. If you appreciate this video, consider joining my Patreon. I post weekly snippets of how the current medley is progressing, and you can vote in polls and such to help me decide what the next one should be :) Plus tabs + backing track etc. (Tab will be posted very soon on there, still putting the finishing touches on it!)

I see this is the sequel to the Dr. Pez video

[@helixb4724]

turning zelda into prog is the easiest clickbait for me

[@jonchellis2978]

Fantastic performance and arrangement. A natural next-stage progression from Dr. Pez's work.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

As the co-creator of Tempo of Time, that was especially cool and fun to watch !! Very well done, bravo 👍

[@HalfDuck]

Thanks so much for checking it out! Your horn playing is my favourite thing from those medley videos 👍

[@JpIsGoD1]

OMG this is so incredibly awesome! I have no words for this... And yes a Twilight Princess Medley would be absolutely stellar😁

[@erikondrums]

Very good! Got the Dr. Pez vibes, as you wrote. But you did great a job incorporating the stuff he didn’t use. The ending can almost be mixed together with his medley.

[@HalfDuck]

Thanks! And haha yeah, I on purpose tried to use stuff he didn't use in his

[@ImJund]

bro what the fuck? I say that a lot of people are underrated, but man you deserve so much just for this video alone. Genuinely incredible work, the music was phenomenal and the editing was insane. I'm confident you'll grow huge and it's such a shame this video hasn't hit the KZbin algorithms. I usually lurk and don't leave a like on videos but I'll sub and give you one just because you truly deserve it. Best of luck man.

[@HalfDuck]

Thanks so much, that means a lot! 100's of hours well spent haha, OOT is such a great soundtrack from the series. Hopefully my video of it can find an audience, I'd love to do many many videos in this video game medley style 🙂 Maybe I just haven't given this video the right title yet

[@DiegoTorres-iw5kn]

The Dream Theater t-shirt to make sure its prog

[@92Nanaki]

24:05 just a modern stone aged family

[@carmanwillis7537]

Okay, thank goodness I wasn't hearing things

[@DazeGaming126]

this video was absolutely amazing and the editing was very well done. well worth the wait

[@HalfDuck]

Thank you! Definitely trying to step up my game and make more entertaining videos :)

[@martinevans6521]

Absolutely incredible stuff. I listen to the Dr. Pez zelda prog album and then your medley back to back. All I can say is MORE.

[@HalfDuck]

That's awesome haha, I used the Pez videos as reference a lot when making these (although I tried to avoid his OOT one because I didn't want to copy much)

[@martinevans6521]

@@HalfDuck you definitely make it your own, but Dr. Pez' effort is a perfect starting point. If I had my wish, I would love to see a Link's awakening prog rock medley. That game has an absolutely outstanding soundtrack that would fill a prog album perfectly

[@Mythikal13]

OSRS shred medley when? I need some halfduck sea shanty in my life, I think it's what the world needs lol

[@norbergenin7091]

PLEASE. THERE'S SO MANY B A N G E R S

[@BrennConstantBigBossDeLUnivers]

damn that was a journey. it lived to the hype, and boy was I hyped since the beginning of this project. I absolutely LOVED the more proggy sections. I also hope that funk is here to stay on your channel cause that was super cool. (oh, and I'm on the FFVI medley team)

[@HalfDuck]

Now that I know I can pull it off, I'll definitely keep the funkier elements!

[@blitzsnap]

I was blown away the whole thing. This is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard

[@HalfDuck]

Thanks for watching it :)

[@zoltier]

Very grand medley, but I was not prepared for the Flintstones bit

[@chrispytel245]

I've never clicked on a video as fast as this. Excellent work!

[@HalfDuck]

Thank you! One of my favourite videos I've done

[@PGBigRed]

"How about a twilight princess medley?" Foreshadowing? 👀👀

[@shadowxmythFTW]

Aint no way you ALSO charted this for clone hero. What a legend...

[@alexisprudhomme9349]

Bro this is phenomenal. Keep up the great work!!

[@lib2392]

20:27 I literally acended holy shit This medley is absolutely amazing, you deserve so much recognition, can't wait to see whats next!!

[@pedrollancaqueo506]

Great video ! Hope to see more tunes

[@sethford9790]

This is remarkable. Absolutely love it.

[@evmoFPV]

I really enjoyed this, thanks!

[@HalfDuck]

Thanks for watching it 🤘I just finished a Wind Waker medley and put that up now if you wanna watch that haha

[@imconfused6955]

Havent listened, but i scrolled tk a random point in the vidro and im alread impressed. Cant wait to listen later

[@Blazico]

Sick stuff my dude!

[@nizuru]

So many memories are coming back now while listening/watching your video. You did an amazing job here.

[@HalfDuck]

Thank you :) Aiming to make the next one even better!

[@rambob2489]

you really are incredible man

[@kikitoyovo4196]

WOW i'm a fan of zelda and it's really really REALLY amazing! you worked so hard and like everytime, the result is just wonderful! Thanks a lot for this medley! you deserve more views and subscribers. you are incredible!

[@HalfDuck]

Thanks for the comment! I had a lot of fun with the music and game footage stuff, the Zelda series is very inspiring :)

[@AnnaliciaRosado]

I played OOT for the first time when I was 5 years old, and have been in love with every game in the Zelda series since. I'm SO glad you popped up in my feed, thank you for creating such a masterful, beautiful medley for such a beautiful game! Liked and subscribed 😊

[@officialproteus]

Killer job! This sounds awesome, and the arrangements are super well-done! We happen to be working on a Wind Waker cover, ourselves 😅

Incredible!

Amazing !!

[@ahu1867]

WTF THIS IS INSANE CONGRATS!!!

Thank you :) I did everything I could to make it as good as I could possibly make it haha. Probably the best video that will ever be uploaded to my channel

[@ahu1867]

@@HalfDuck i am SURE that you have the potential to make even better videos dude, just dont go too crazy with that, we dont want you to have burnout

[@HalfDuck]

@@ahu1867 I do feel a little burned out now, mainly after seeing this video performing worse than all my others despite the months put into it haha. I'm gonna play some covers of songs I enjoy just for fun to counter that (I'm super into the Marc Hudson album)

[@niveous5392]

16:40 Awesome transition, love it

[@leanfist]

very fantastic

@@HalfDuck You are a monster on the guitar man. Cool concept! Read the description, but was Dream Theater the inspiration for this too?

[@Comrade-Corvid]

That little DDLC reference 💕

[@HalfDuck]

I had too much fun haha

[@TheKNEE13]

certainly something special

[@Synest2]

Got some time to listen to it now, heh Amazing work! So nice to listen to, definitely one of the videos I'll come back to often TLOZelda to me is what Touhou is to a bunch of people, I love the music but never touched the game

[@HalfDuck]

It's worth a play, I would probably recommend Twilight Princess, as its a little more modernized than OOT

[@Boreality_]

very cool

[@HalfDuck]

[@JasonCoverstone]

The Flintstones reference got me 😅

[@HalfDuck]

Fleeeent stones!

[@professorganto2848]

hell yeah

[@NebulousPendulum]

That Siivagunner reference nearly made me fall out of my chair, bravo

[@HalfDuck]

I heard the first two notes of the melody, and my music brain went straight to sh*tpost mode

[@Mizziri]

This is incredibly sick. Funky courtyard sounds SO much like Liquid Tension Experiment's cover of Rhapsody in Blue.

[@dansintheband]

Oh great, the name changed, now my playlist with only videos with "prog" in the name is messed up....ah well, still a jam.

[@HalfDuck]

I changed it back to the prog one now haha

I'd have to consult the Pez haha

2 thirds and an 8th of a duck

[@BlipSS]

I felt a little ripped off at first because he played the ocarina part on the keys. But then it dawned on me that's probably the only way I've ever heard it and how it was originally intended to be represented. This rocks, fn rad!

[@HalfDuck]

I don't own an ocarina, they're not expensive though so in retrospect maybe I should've got one and learned it for the video haha. I did enjoy using the OOT soundfont though, nostalgic sounds

[@felipejorge3411]

Marathon next? (At least put it in line?)

[@UrikzDM]

como que 109 vistas, esto esta increible necesita tener el apoyo que debe

It might take some time for KZbin to decide to promote it. In the meantime I can make more medleys to prepare haha

SiIvagunner had a hand in this.......I sense granddad.

[@shiboomi2249]

I completed the game in less time than that. Truly, truly amazing (and an amazing AMOUNT of) work. Sincerest of props, my inhuman dude. This is unreal.

[@HalfDuck]

Thank you! You must do any% speedruns of the game then haha. The 3D Zelda games are something special

[@BassHeroSDGR305DX_YT]

Awesome video, For a moment I thought you weren't going to upload a new video, but anyway, every video you have is awesome, sorry for not being at the premiere, I was sleeping after a hard day at work I'm making 3 covers of "Lament of the ducks", "flipper frenzy" and "beyond the pond", so i need your permission to add the custom bass cover to the chart, can i add the notes to your chart? Please

[@HalfDuck]

Yeah you have permission to add the notes to the chart :)

[@Montynoir]

I think you should try your hands and doing the songs of 8-bit "The Legend of Zelda" on guitar. 100% sure you can do this after hearing that polyphia cover.

Average Prog metal song length 🤣🤣
