Ikana Castle - reorchestrated

So since there are a lot of versions of this cue out there, I decided to push this melody a little more into a suspensful build-up rather than the well known march. Hope you like it.
Sorry this thing is so short again but I very rarely have the time to work on these tracks.

It conveys the sense that it was once a great empire, lost to time itself. Awesome song.

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Awesome!!! That is totally what I was going for! Thank you!! :-)

[@assassinspider2436]

HyruleOrchestra You’re welcome. You make awesome music! I just wish it was a bit longer though.

[@assassinspider2436]

How does someone have this much talent? This is just pure awesome. It sounds like an Assassin’s Creed set in hyrule.

[@lorettarosy63]

I'll agree to this. In spite of the fact that to me it gives me even a dramatic tone as well.

The return of the Hero: HyruleOrchestra

[@Dusks_Base]

Soon, hopefully.

[@disgustedluigi]

Needs to be longer. Just feels like a character intro jingle before getting to the actual song. I’d love a full version it sounds awesome.

[@meking1808]

How can you make zelda music (which is superb) go from a 100 to a 1000?! These orchestral versions are so good!

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you so much!! I'm really happy you like them :-)

[@Quebecdelta798]

@@hyruleorchestra4339 I really like them but it would be better if it was longer.........That's what she said.

[@WrathOfWater5931]

Short and sweet. Very nice.

[@Aubriel]

Amazing piece, I've really missed your work! I'm playing Majora's Mask for the first time right now. Thank you for gracing my ears!

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you so much for those nice words. I also missed working on these....hopefully I find some time again soon! Oh my...I'd love to experience MM for the first time again. It's gonna be an amazing ride and I wish you a lot of fun!! :-)

[@hebralight8968]

I waited a very long time for the new video, but it was definitely worth. You created one more awesome masterpiece. Thank you, HyruleOrchestra, for all these fantastic songs that sometimes even made me cry. Thank you.

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Cheers mate! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :-)

[@Mutisi0n]

Wearing headphones. That bass at the start cleared my sinuses, thank you.

[@Ninjaananas]

Really good. I wished it would go longer but this is also beautiful. This sounds kinda like an intro.

[@Renato7000]

Flawless!

[@centristcontrarian3344]

God damn this is what I was after. I can only imagine at how this would then transform into the main theme with your brilliant artistic flair. Damn you for not finishing it, but bless you for making it.

[@axeldenault1165]

Just incredible.

[@davidgoforth4953]

Man, that was just cool! Wonderful different direction with this!!

[@migueljimenezjimenez1186]

Still amazing, totally.

[@MCisAwesome95]

This feels amazing

[@carlahowe5820]

Yeeesss, Hyrule orchestra has returned!!! Btw you’re amazing

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Cheers mate! Thank you very much!!! :-)

[@cellorosemusic12]

10 out of 10 perfection!!!

[@thelegendaryzonaiwarrior6400]

I love how the text font looks just like the text font for Breath of the Wild when you first arrive to a location.

[@a_whitlow21]

It definitely has a GOT vibe and I love it!

[@mysticalmusic3]

What software do you use to create your music? If you ever have the time, I would love to see a tutorial of your musical creation process one day! This is really great by the way, amazing work as always!

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thanks mate!! :-) I write in Cubase. Libraries for this cue were: Tina Guo Cello, Joshua Bell Violin, Blisko Celli, London Orchestra Textures, Olafur Arnalds Chamber Strings, Sonokinetic Maximo + Indie, Caspian Brasses and Mysteria from Native Instruments For mixing I use some waves plugins but mostly the Izotope stuff. A tutorial is a cool idea. Not sure though when I find some time. But always feel free to ask me about any specifics you'd like to know. :-)

[@ethanruzic8071]

You deserve more views holy crap!

Return of The King

[@miraak9961]

This is the soul of Ikana this music

[@kerandupere7470]

It's more than beautyful, as usual. Well done, it give me shivers, bravo ! I hope that you'll do a remaster of kakariko village from oot

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you so much! And wonderful idea- definitely on my list :-)

[@mandykatetaylor]

Just found all your songs and they are absolutely chilling! Lowkey wanna see what you would do for a Twilight Princess song 👀

[@diegobrando__]

Imagine they make a Majora movie and the songs sound like this! Epic!

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you :-)

[@ZeldaSushi]

i cant tell how this is ikana castle, its a bit to quiet and calm for me to be able to identify it

[@TheOracle.]

Ich mag zwar nicht die erste sein, bin aber vor Nora hier. xD Great job btw!

[@InsertPantsHere]

The only thing that's wrong with this is there's no extended version.

[@davidweber3900]

Damn ! I Love your Work! How did you make these Pictures to each song ?

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you so much! I made most pictures with Blender 3D and Photoshop 😊

[@karlob2623]

You are amazing, what programs do you use?

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you very much!!! :-) I write in Cubase. Libraries for this cue were: Tina Guo Cello, Joshua Bell Violin, Blisko Celli, London Orchestra Textures, Olafur Arnalds Chamber Strings, Sonokinetic Maximo + Indie, Caspian Brasses and Mysteria from Native Instruments For mixing I use some waves plugins but mostly the Izotope stuff. The image was made in Photoshop and the effects in After Effects.

[@Typhoon792]

Is this on Spotify by any chance?

[@nickdimattia2463]

Not gonna lie, getting heavy Sword Valley vibes from this. Excellent work though

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

Thank you!

[@generaleric567]

[@megamanvolnutt89]

Bad ass picture 👍
