Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time

[@jurgenmateuseichelbaum324]

I'm down to tears. There's this nostalgic and heartwarming feeling and, at the same time, a heartbreaking feeling in seeying how much time has passed since the days I was playing this game. Thanks for bringing these memories! A great work, as you always do!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Wow, thank you!

[@nevlieslu2155]

I agree. It is an emotional feeling of happiness and sadness. I love this!

[@zenithperigee7442]

@@InstrumentManiac, the piece is very much like the "rollercoaster" of life. There are so many wonderful instruments! I♥the harp, the cello and flute! I really liked how the flute "led into a place of rest" right on the final note at the end where just the cello and the harp play, it's like being on a gentle wave moving side-to-side letting your body and mind enter a state of relaxation where the stresses and anxieties of the world leave you... Ohhh I would've enjoyed more of that...

[@JaneValentine007]

I was four when I played this game on N64, and hearing those first few seconds brings me back to when I first turned on that ancient console. I remember very specifically the profiles on there, because they're still there- there was my cousin's profile called "The Best" ... and then let's just say that profile has missing items, but there was one other profile on the 3rd slot I made to match the other one; they were simply called "Link" with 100% completion done by me and my sibling on two other accounts/slots LOL

[@Klavertje1987]

Couldn' t agree more

[@Mateus.77]

Passage of time and memories, this song conveys that..

[@HarleyGuioGuitar]

Not a single note off pitch. I am so impressed by your musicianship! Bravo man!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ah thanks Harley!

[@breadwithnocrust4401]

Never played zelda but I will say zelda songs are truly something I don't know why but it just makes me feel a certain way when I listen to these songs

[@Loafusbreadmyre]

I'd heavily encourage you to start! They're all genuinely fantastic games, despite how overly critical the "fans" are. The music is only a hint at the amazing stories being told throughout each game!

[@IWoVex]

@@Loafusbreadmyre it amazes me that you are loafbread and he is bread with no crust and i heavily agree with you it's just the best game franchise ever in my opinion and it's more than just a game ❤️

[@breadwithnocrust4401]

@@Loafusbreadmyre Sorry for the late response! Dont use youtube as much now but I will try some of the games! Cheers!

[@susangreen18]

Play Zelda

[@stonythechimist4250]

Even if you don’t, and you agree that OoT has some of the best music out there, I’d encourage you to look into more music by Koji Kondo. The man is an absolute legend for good reason

[@JD-128]

You _perfectly_ captured the haunting beauty of this piece, one of the best pieces in Zelda history, which pulls on the heartstrings above and beyond any other Zelda track I've heard. I don't know what it is about this piece that makes you (or at least, me) so *_deeply_* feel... I don't even know what! It's definitely not _happy,_ but it's not _sad,_ either. It's... yearning? Maybe? I don't know, but it's simply _beautiful._

[@thefirsttrillionaire2925]

As someone said above: The passage of time and memories. “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened…”

[@martinmc0950]

I’ve been following your channel for several months now, and I curse the algorithm for never showing me this. The already magical, ethereal feeling of this piece combined with your raw passion and emotion in your covers really makes this an amazing thing to hear.

[@Grimdock]

The first videogame I ever played in my life, the first GAME I ever physically touched, was Ocarina of Time. My parents were playing it and I was too young to understand half of what was going on, my little hands could barely touch the N64 controller and move it around, but I DO remember making link go into Castle Town and felt so proud of myself. Obviously I Fell off that bridge a few times, but it was worth it.

[@Kainat.h]

This put me right to sleep and i have trouble with my sleeping, i’m glad i’ve found this! the music is so enchanting and interesting it really is incredible it’s as if i can feel the notes and sound waves flowing into my ears but ever so gently. Much appreciation i thank you for this delightful moment

[@InstrumentManiac]

I'm so glad! Thanks for the kind message Fruity :)

[@enterfusion]

Wow, I literally cry for happyness, this is so a warm Nostalgic feeling and you playing the flute with so much passion and soul. Awesome, thank you man.

[@grantroodbeen1316]

Not me crying thinking about playing this back on my 3DS 😭. crazy how OoT 3D is nearly as old as the original was when it released. Always love your Zelda covers man!

[@InstrumentManiac]

I hope they do another revival on Switch it's such a good game! Also thank you! The Zelda games have the best music for real🙂

[@DDryTaste]

Thanks for making me feel super old 😂

[@robertmarrujo7914]

Imagine playing Oot on the N64.......

[@JamesSteininger]

Omg...the 3D version really is 13 years old now. Wow...time flies by fast.

[@LinkGrnHero]

I don't think I've ever heard a more beautiful cover to a theme song ever, I'm crying while remembering playing this as a kid. Thank you for the memories, this is stunning and I never knew a harp could be so perfect

[@ned4real]

It is incredible how this tune managed to convey the same feelings to so many people bringing together different generations, cultures and forms of art. This is pure magic. Thanks for the perfect interpretation. 👌

[@MenolExarkun]

Somehow I can hear Epona's steps with this music

[@stevencollins9952]

I love this song so much I made my girlfriend download it on her phone an played it many nights falling asleep she ask me why I love that song so much I told her when I go to heaven I want this to be the song get played while I'm entering the gates crazy right 😅 Thanks man you brought happiness to me to again your a great soul keep up the work it's your 🎁🙏

[@InstrumentManiac]

Glad to hear thanks Steven!

[@pakkimanbjoark745]

this song is a way to make a grown men shed a tear. RIP Hughie my zelda friend.🙏

[@idraote]

This is so lovely (and I don't even know the orginal game!). First, apparently your harp lessons are having an impact, you sound so confident in your handling of the instrument and, of course, the instrument itself has such a rich, full sound! I also love your antique flute. It has a special sound, probably not a perfect one but still one that is perfect for this arrangement. As for the arrangement, admit you chose to push heavily on the melancholy pedal 😁 There's a sense of longing, a sense of loss that goes through the roof here, like someone watching through a windowpane in a chilly Autumn day when it is raining heavily outside and one is thinking about the last Summer. And the strings are spot-on there.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you idraote!! Such a deep respect for harpists, there is so much going on with that instrument 😂 And yes! I really felt like no one had approached it with more of a somber tone (usually it's more mysterious/opening credits vibe). Really happy to hear that came through while listening!

[@disangajayawardana9724]

Out of 4000 people no single person disliked it! That's how beautiful it is

[@alicecalkins4842]

As a huge Zelda fan, I love this so much. The nostalgia from when I first got the game and heard this flows back to me. I also admire your flute skills, because I am a flute player myself. Great work.

[@PHILXFROMBHK]

Time is a Mysterium. Life is a Mysterium. Music is the key to this mysterium. You are a Blessed man who take us with your talents on a Journey full of emotions through the time. Thank you.

[@Ceyesse]

Chills from the crown chakra down to the feet. Thank you infinitely.

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

Played it for the first time last month. This theme is incredible

[@AttackOnToxix]

heard the first three notes and I'm actually crying... thank you for sending me to this song

[@damianogiaccaglia]

What a song!...i perfectly remeber the good old days i was playing Zelda on my nintendo 3ds, those were really good times. Thank you for this masterpiece!

[@ffs-gaming2514]

Best songs in gaming history I remember playing this game when I was very young and now I'm 35 and want a remaster

[@gecetheundying]

İt's just like you are a warrior and you just got tired, in front of a campfire, sitting... This Music feels like some souls coming and saying: "Do not give up warrior, we need you."

[@Icy_below_0]

I was infact playing Zelda yesterday this is so spot on it sends chills down my spine in a good wag

[@Oberon117]

Easily, the best cover of this on youtube. This sounds amazing!

[@petersinclair2250]

Simply sublime and played perfectly. Loved every second of it, I hope this video gets a lot of attention; it deserves it.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Wow, thank you Peter!

[@NoNameHydro]

I listen to this every day before school as it gets rid of anything negative I’m thinking and it’s so relaxing 😊

[@lunawolf1232]

For someone who grew up playing zelda, im going through your whole zelda playlist rn and am on the verge of tears, you play everything perfectly. Its so emotional listening to them all! The Gerudo Valley one was better then the og in my opinion, Thank you for the great music!

[@ShareThe_Love]

When the digital circus movie comes out, I want this song to play at the end, or else I'm screaming at the top of my lungs in theater😂😂 SERIOUSLY THOUGH, THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING ARRANGEMENT. SO MANY GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN HERE, MY MUSCIAN SIDE TINGLED THE WHOLE TIME. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH

[@sury9362]

Satie will be proud of this.

[@TJ-fc1zz]

That was amazing! Ocarina of Time is my all time favorite in the Zelda series. You nailed this!

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

This song has always felt to me like a really weird and out of place choice as the title theme for Ocarina of Time. But, I can't deny that it's really beautiful.

[@Elevator829]

Wow this made me uncontrollably break down into tears. Well done.

[@FilipeFreire]

Damn man, this song always hits me in the fells, but your performance here is top notch... As a musician, I can only imagine how many hours you've put into playing it this perfectly! awesome job!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks man! It's been 23 long years 🥲

[@honbrolo]

So tranquil. Hearing this instrumental also reminded me of Shining Force 2 - Elf Forrest. Now Im once again nostalgic to replay, for the umpteenth time, older games from when I was a kid 🤣

[@91Sade]

pure emotional bliss

[@ineptusastartes9964]

Brings back memories of playing OoT with my Fiancee about 9 years ago. Absolutely beautiful.

[@InstrumentManiac]

That's wonderful 🙂

[@kyrinviralaine4713]

That was absolutely perfect, thank you for taking me back in time to when I first played this game as a kid falling asleep to the opening screen

[@ChaosKat90]

Even though I never really played OT, I have listened to its soundtrack. Hearing this rendition gives it the same relaxing vibes as the original, but also makes you think of the nostalgic days of playing games and just outside child adventure days of playing outside. It also sounds almost angelic with the way you played the harp and flute portions with this. This and Kingdom Hearts will always be my go-to for soothing videogame music.

[@zZNebulaBrotherssZz]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, MY FAVORITE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

[@JimmothyAsteriskCheeseburger]

This sounds so good! I could listen to this for like 10 hours straight.

[@kualatony8739]

Never even played this game and I still almost cried

[@mayoroicjre]

Just had a look at your Zelda playlist, for a future theme, could you try the Song of Awakening from Spirit Tracks please.

[@augustoantunesdasilva4093]

I think Spirit Tracks is the perfect mix between Zelda covers and his current Thomas the Tank engine streak lol. Great reccomendation btw

[@riverndeer162]

So much care went into the making of this cover... thank you

[@LeScarletSinger2]

This is amazing. Part of me really wants to hear what your take on the E3 Reveal music for Breath of the Wild would sound like, but another part of me really wants to hear Termina Field. I think both would sound really great in your style.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha actually I did a cover of that a few years ago! But I don't think the algorithm gods agreed with it 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGLYqHmvlKmkbJY&ab_channel=InstrumentManiac I'll definitely check out Termina field!

[@nhoj1582]

when i was younger i got a 2ds for christmas from my parents and it had ocarina of time 3d preinstalled on it. it was the first 3ds game I had on my 2ds i would play it but i was really bad and ended up just getting stuck in the great deku tree. later on i dropped my 2ds on my bunk bed ladder and shattered the screen I got it returned because of warenty and swapped it out for a 2ds with mario instead. even though I didn't play it much it is still nostalgic to me especially the music.

[@toadlemax7551]

This sent shivers down my spine. 😅

The way I see it, good music is good music, what's important is how it makes you feel. That being said, I too am anxious for the next Thomas cover.

[@InstrumentManiac]

A Thomas cover is coming next!

[@saraross8396]

This is one of my favorite Zelda songs. Have you tried playing the Ocarina? It is a type of flute and fairly easy to learn. I started playing it a few years ago, partly out of love for the game series, but also out of genuine interest in the instrument itself. I now have a small collection of them.

[@CanalRulez]
