[@taylordavisviolin]

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments on my new video, I really loved reading through them :) This video was so fun to make and brought back a lot of great memories from playing OoT when I was younger, and it's really fun to read that a lot of you felt the same! Thank you for helping me live out my passion like this, love you guys!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXFYqKZr9Clatk

[@hylianmusician523]

You are the best Taylor thanks for making all these great videos

[@darknessgrins8564]

your awesome Taylor

[@kaya8929]

so nice Taylor

[@franck3382]

just so awesooooome ! Keep make us dream !

[@wesleyam]

Prettiest Link ever

[@AlcaTraZXG]

I'm glad that Navi wasn't yelling "Hey! Hey! Listen!" throughout the video. Great work as always :)

[@julielitulumar7345]

I always like navi she always gives instuctions as always

[@revinevan87]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eam1ooyZj8iroJo

[@PrinceShadowmoon]

That would pay a great homage to Zelda Oot though

[@lloydgush]

I miss Navi...

[@Potterholic1]

@@lloydgush Me too.

[@terribleone89]

Pure awesomeness, I was actually have a pretty lame day, and this made me forget about it. Great job

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thank you, I'm so glad this helped brighten your day a little :)

[@suebaker5741]

It's everything plus that smile is kill😊

[@suebaker5741]

Her smile is killer

[@lara6683]

really love that middle improv section!

[@chiapetYT]

Yeah!!

[@oldaccount_encounter878]

The legend of Talor : violin of time

[@edits.youtube6981]

Haha! Yeah-

[@suebaker5741]

The legend of cuteness lol Tay Tay lol.

[@TheHenkxz]

seriously in my honest opinion you kick Lindsey's ass with all your zelda covers

[@campelodemagalhaes]

Lindsey's Zelda cover is way better

[@afimarie88]

I agree! I prefer Taylor 1,000 times.

[@mdg1089]

+Henry Montero thats very naive and amateur of you to say things like this. Music is not a competition, and musicians are not enemies..keep your immature comments away

[@jordanlochhead8453]

+Mathew Gonzales nothing wrong with some debatably friendly competition. besides, it would be cool to see two different styles of play come together, either in collaboration or competition.

[@lucyitsok3320]

So true. But I like more lindsey :v

[@FlowingDepths]

Sounds almost like this music was made specifically to be played on the violin! you kept it very happy and light sounding, good job!

[@alexandermarkwell818]

Wait you have the Deku shield but also the master sword. That’s impossible! (I’m too much of a nerd to let it go)

[@TeyvatMagicianLyney]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@1014p]

Hey maybe destiny needed her sooner.

[@cyrusmallison6157]

I didn't see any Master sword anywhere in this video.

[@WeeziMonkey]

Welcome to... EPIC VIOLIN BATTLES OF HISTOOREEEEHHHHH Lindsey Stirling... VERSUZ! Taylor Davis... WHO WINS?! YOU DECIIIDEEEEE! I think both win though.

[@soda_gt.]

they are both Friends

[@dugroz]

jomari thechannel Both!?!?!?

[@juliarose6981]

Ahh! That's too hard of a decision. Hmm.. I say Lindsey's playing, but Taylor's creativity with the video (while playing amazingly). So.. Both.

[@DGK1891]

Man that would be really hard. Both play really great

[@Sara-rk9ew]

***** Why? lindsay and taylor davis are awesome

[@loyal_dogs]

This is so beautiful. You don't play this song, you live it. Your passion, your smile, you being Link and awesome... just everything is so alive and so full of emotions and memories. You don't life the music, you are the music and through it you speak to our hearts and that's why we love you so much. You, your talent and your great music. And your smile brightens everyone's day. I'll buy your album (also looking forward to your original songs) and I'd love to visit your show to feel even more of your magic but Germany is too far away.

[@awintory]

So beautifully done across the board. Congrats once again Taylor and Adam :)

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thanks Austin!

[@capfan77]

This is pretty great!

[@timothyevans5765]

I think she seems to be enjoying herself more in this video (maybe in the more recent ones in general) I remember noting before that she seemed very melancholy while playing. She appears to be happier now while she plays, and that makes watching her more enjoyable.

[@JimmySlaughter]

This video is terrific, Taylor! You did a splendid job! I'm so glad Patreon has allowed you make such top-notch videos! I suspect this one's going to hit a million views in no time!

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thanks Jimmy, you guys are the best :) Couldn't do it without you!

[@JimmySlaughter]

@MeMez Pro challenge Indeed it did!

[@VisualGourmet]

I just LOOOVE this wonder woman!

[@Angelalex242]

Hey! Listen! Way ahead of you, Navi.

[@julielitulumar7345]

Hey! Listen! Then the words

[@acollectionofmeaninglesswords]

Oh i don't know whats most beautiful; Her performance, her, or nature.

[@joshuabarger8422]

Fantastic! Y'know Taylor, the reason I think your music sounds as good as it does, is the fact that you really seem to pour your heart and soul into it (Which is something you don't see to often in cover musicians) I can almost see the happy aura about you when you play, and that I believe makes your music sound even better! God bless! And good luck in your upcoming performances! (I'd love to go, but unfortunately I'm on the exact opposite side of the country ^-^;)

[@taylordavisviolin]

thank you so much Joshua! I loved playing these games so I definitely feel a special connection to the music and I feel really blessed to be doing this for my career since it is something I'm so passionate about! Can't thank you guys enough for supporting me :)

[@joshuabarger8422]

Taylor Davis You're so awesome! BTW I'll definitely buying your new album ASAP.

[@mathapad]

Joshua Barger You are right! I can see her smile,her love for the violin. This is awesome :)

[@joshuabarger8422]

Matheus Padilla I know. Other violinists (I.E Lindsey Stirling, who I'm also a big fan of) definitely have lots of energy, but the pure passion isn't quite there it seems... Maybe it's just not as visible on other people :)

[@mathapad]

Joshua Barger Yeah, Taylor show us her love for the violin and I love it :)

[@cgsimons1187]

Loved this game from so many years ago. The music was one of the attributes that made it great. You play beautifully.

[@MoisesNieto]

Amazing cover as always Taylor ;_; and the video is also incredible, it looks so lively and that wood is perfect for this song! I'm so glad your channel has grown so much during these last months, you really deserve this and more!!

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thank you so much Moisés! The support that everyone has shown me is amazing and I couldn't do it without you all!

[@jonathancripe5776]

You and Mairead Nesbitt are the two violinists that inspired me to return to learning the violin. Started taking lessons in elementary school but some reason I stopped. About 2 years ago after not playing for almost 11 years I happened upon your videos and that of Mairead from Celtic Woman and they really stirred me to take up the violin again and I love it. I wish I had never quit.

[@lilianpranes7320]

You've inspired me to become a violinist someday...God I love the Legend of Zelda Series, and the soundtrack was amazing already, with your violin skills, it perfects it. Thanks for each new thing

[@prastuthshetty9555]

Did you do it?

[@davidrosema9786]

Nostalgia just hit me in the face... and i liked it.

[@SullenSecret]

This was amazing. I felt like truly being in Ocarina of Time.

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thanks, that's a great compliment!

[@bekapek]

CBebop 4Ever same!!

[@lonewolf031]

whoever says games are not art don't know what they're talking about, it's the pinnacle of several fields of art combined.

[@victormora1834]

Taylor Davis + Smooth McGroove + David Erick Ramos = BEST VIDEO EVER

[@joshuastephens4818]

Taylor Davis This is my favorite song from the Zelda franchise. I can't not dance. You have an amazing talent, and to pair that with something of such nostalgia. Rock on.

[@AnomalyTea]

Beautiful! I also couldn't help but chuckle to see a violin on one of the C buttons =P nice touch!

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thanks!! Hehe gotta be equipping the right things ;)

[@UNIesque]

Oh man, I found myself grinning uncontrollably halfway through this - SO good. I love your renditions. Nostalgia and good feelings abound~!

[@sn1p3r90]

Great job! Like from Russia! :-)

[@alexandermarriott8462]

I have to say that this is one of the most original ideas that I have ever seen for videos on KZbin. Someone actually duplicating scenes from the game with such authenticity. I love the fact that she has the outfits and all the shields. Too bad she doesn't have the swords, that would really round out the entire costume.

[@monetlemon]

I love the energy you put into these covers. You must really like Legend of Zelda.

[@taylordavisviolin]

Hah yup, OoT is one of my top favorite games ;)

[@D0J0P]

Taylor Davis I love OoT! Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda game though.

[@Royaltymusicofficial]

Taylor Davis i cry for anyone born in the 90s that didnt play OoT .... legit best experience of my childhood ..p.s you rock!! keep it up :-)

[@TMPpresents]

Who doesnt?

[@joshuabarger8422]

Royaltymusicofficial Haha! I was "Born" in the 90's but I didn't actually play Oot until 05'ish ^^; (I was born in '98)

[@Potterholic1]

I can't imagine of effort it took to make a live action Legend of Zelda with health meters and Navi and everything. All it's missing is a Great Deku Tree.

[@teshup8296]

I started playing violin just because of you your videos inspired me and Im not the best but its getting better and better I wish to meet you someday in real life maybe you teach me some tricks.You opened a new page on my life thank you so much for doing that cause ı really loved my new clean happy page :')

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thank you so much for sharing that, I'm very honored to hear that! I hope you enjoy the violin :)

[@opheliegaffoglio5278]

this is not just a song; your cosplay, the video and reproduction of the game Zelda make it just awesome !!! too much remembers of Ocarina of time 😭😭

[@lupenoah8068]

Thank you so much for this fine video I'm going to get my game out and play I just love Zelda u made me realize how much fun it is thanks for sharing your video

[@atanosatacot]

Listening to this makes me wanna break out my N64 and playing this again. Awesome!

[@EddiePines200]

U play Bert well, when i grow up i want to be a violinist just like you.

[@EddiePines200]

Very* damn this phone

[@taylordavisviolin]

Aww thank you so much that makes me very happy ^_^

[@ARMarTy_]

That's exactly what I want to^^ That would be helpfull for my projects. For me Taylor your violin version of the theme of Requiem for a Dream was pure awesomness, I'm not even kidding, one of the best artist I've ever listened to and I've seen^^ I expect my english is good enough cause I'm French ;p

[@federicogentilini6592]

Listen your music is like to come back to the feelings i felt when i was playing zelda as child. ♥

[@KatyAdelson]

This brings back so many happy memories! ^^ Very nice violin cover! =)

[@beytalmaqdis3174]

It's a pleasure to listen to all your tunes. I used to play video games like Zelda and other vidéo games, and when I listen to your convers it makes me feel nostalgic and I want to play these video games again. Thank you!

[@JorgeGonzalezMira]

It´s too beautiful!!!! Ocarina Of Time was my first game, thank you for play songs like this and remember my chillhood :3 ^^

[@taylordavisviolin]

Oh what a great first game!! I have such awesome memories from playing OoT, one of my favorites :)

[@jonasgrenne2569]

Clearly I grew up in the right age.. This is just beatiful! Don't ever get discouraged about your choices

[@RaviFahsa]

Awesome like always 👍 Please also do OoT shop theme cover 😀

[@sitiaulya3796]

Morning sobat,,

[@RaviFahsa]

Morning jg siti aulya

[@hellicious]

you just made me cry, nostalgy , so many good memories!! you're completely amazing

[@ZeldaFreak4by2]

I was smiling the whole time! That's amazing!

[@18skorpina]

Amazing,simply amazing,I don't think there is any other word that can describe your work. Everytime,I think you just can't get any better than this and every time you prove me wrong. I loved your video and it brought back so many memories from back when I played OoT for the first time. I think what makes you special is your heart,each and every song you've played up until now fills you with feelings,and it's real,I can see it on your face! I can't help but wait for the next song you'll bless us with.

Ohhhh that's awesome! I'd love to go to Seattle to see you but I live in Spain so I can't. But I wish you good luck although you don't need it ;)

[@taylordavisviolin]

Aww well hopefully I'll be able to visit Spain someday and then you can come to my show :)

Taylor Davis Yeah, it would be amazing :'D

[@elfberry]

Ojeker ¿eres de españa? Whoa... ¡Te usas vosotros!

[@HippoPig21_is_awesome]

Taylor Davis You...you live...in the same general area...as me? **explodes** You, like, have to go to PAX. You HAVE TO

[@anthonyplacek9703]

Its all too much. It brings a tear to my eye. So beautiful. Souch effort has been put forward for this. Truly a wonerful thing.

[@renancaitano4108]

Bom Dia! 'Bravo!' Parabéns pelo trabalho, gosto do modo que executa a musica no violino. Gostaria de escutar você tocando Czardas de Vittorio Monti com essa personalidade musical. Ficaria muito feliz com essa honra, pois estou ensaiando a peça e o seu estilo musical é raro. Saudações do Brasil

[@oliveguy3114]

I love the 3rd-person camera angle with the classic hud. Very well done!

[@nenitadayrit1268]

that Temple run easteregg though

[@RoseTheGhost_]

I added it to my playlist for work! Kokiri Forest is one of my favorite places in OoT. (Even though I haven't played it all the way through yet. I'm in the Forest Temple)

[@thinkingfubuki]

Reminded me of something I would hear in Super Mario Galaxy during some parts.

[@pinitomilk]

Omg, I'm crying with all your videos playing Zelda Oot songs.

[@justmee4074]

This should be the battle song in Hyrule Warrior perfect battle song in Hyrule Forest (battlefield)

[@Luteole]

So simple but yet so stunning!

[@florentroudaut7489]

I love it, you're amasing You have a big talent !!!

[@LeopardSamurai]

I love the parts where your running with your fairy companion and have all the icons like in the game. What a charming and beautiful video. :)

[@lyzoldas]

I bought a violin because of you, Lara, and Lindsey. And god damn is it hard to teach yourself -_- I can play *"Mary Had a Screeching Lamb"*.

[@lawlietbtb2256]

Damn. I can't express the nostalgic waves that are are flowing through me right now :)

[@maycienunez1177]

you my dear get another subscriber!!!!

[@MatthewCatanyag653203102001]

Oh the memories

[@kingv-raptor840]

11 hearts, 237 rupees, hookshot, ocarina, violin and a sword but no shield (how did that happen)? 0:46

[@matthewethridge4274]

+Larry Palma (V-raptor) A Like Like probably got her

[@kingv-raptor840]

matthew ethridge Forgot about those. I hated those until I got arrows.

[@greenrainfalling]

+Larry Palma (V-raptor) she has the wooden sheild

[@audiomancer2000]

She has the Deku Shield. But what's puzzling is that she also has the Master Sword. Young Link uses the Kokiri Sword and the Deku Shield. The adult Link uses the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield because they are the perfect size for him. But to have the Master Sword and the Deku Shield at the same time would basically mean no need of time travel. Or hacks.

[@greenrainfalling]

well maybe she combined ocorina of time and twighlight princess to gether or something

[@morales7099]

This freaking “awesome “ video makes me want learn a lot of FREAKINGGGG instruments. If thats the same feelings u have.... LETS FREAKING DO ITTTTTT!!!!. you can do it.❤️. 🍀.

[@cyberus2032]

Hey!!! Listen!!!

[@sparrowpines3130]

[@petereyring9617]

I can listen to you play for days you just have such a magnificent gift for playing; I love it so much

[@jasoulivre5394]

Parabéns em inglês :-D

[@boskopils4153]

I was whistling this tune for a whole week, and then I found this. Thank you! Please don't stop playing ever.

[@michaelmarshall2473]

i didnt know young link can use the hookshot in ocarina of time. just dont press the button or you'll crash the video.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Hehe! Maybe she's Majora's Mask Link after (s)he returns to Hyrule at the end. ^_^

[@michaelmarshall2473]

RebeccaETripp No, i saw the hookshot. It's adult Links. Young Link's hookshot is pure gold.

[@matthewmilliken8722]

Big Goron sword + ocarina of time + 9ish hearts + dub magic = adult link

[@traxstaromega3467]

Not just the hookshot, but the master sword too! You know, I wonder what young link would like like with the master sword, seeing that its as big as he is.

[@Literally_1984_owl]

So happy knowing she has made so many OoT covers

[@Victoria-oz5sk]

Navi, one of Nintendo's most annoying characters.

[@taylordavisviolin]

Haha that's why I'm hiding in the beginning ;)

[@auberich]

Hey! Listen! Look! Look! Hey! Listen!Hey! Listen!Hey! Listen!

[@Victoria-oz5sk]

Auberich Neves Not as annoying because Navi's voice isn't there haha.

[@accountfor1reason]

Vickxx Vulnerose Was just gonna say, nice to have a mix of this song without the pest pestering me.

[@danmarsh7985]

accountfor1reason that is why a pest is named as such

[@rowenaneale7986]

You are absolutely amazing. I could just listen to you play all day. The way you play makes people happy and joyfull. Thank you so much! You're so talented 😃😌

[@elizabethmichaelis4999]

CAN'T WE KILL NAVI?!?!?!?!

[@elizabethmichaelis4999]

There must be a parodie where you must kill navi

[@elizabethmichaelis4999]

Shall be fun XD

Haha XD ik ken nog een nederlander hier

[@elizabethmichaelis4999]

Ja ***** Goeie vriend van me

[@hanrald]

Been a long time fan. Now Thanks to you and your amazing covers my daughter asked me about the music she's currently playing Zelda: OoT and in heaven. I couldn't get her to play it until now. (she's 7) Keep up the amazing work! Thanks again!

[@beastlypotato3988]

I really liked your older Kingdom Hearts cover videos. I really wish you would do more of those! I love when the beautiful music of Kingdom Hearts is shared to those who haven't heard it before, and you make it so beautiful.

[@patricktomblin1998]

I have to say her smile is stunning.

[@aileensuarez9192]

Thanks for this wonderful interpretation of one of my favorite childhood video game. This transported me to those times in which I spent hours of adventure. Even I'm a grown woman, imagination is being stimulated with your music. thanks.

[@TheDalyAlly]

This would be incredible without any sort of visuals, but the fact they're there just makes it so much better! Will have this on repeat all day!

[@NeZlo4]

Спасибо большое за Ваше творчество. Душа радуется когда смотришь Ваши видео. Отдыхаю душой.

[@ButtonHead88.5]

goodness. this is so fun. and even more up beat than the original rendition in the game. and the smile that you crack in the video is dazzling!

[@penguinzs7182]

I remember this song so well. I feel like playing OoT now...

[@juniorcorreiajp]

I am totally shocker!!! You are amazing!!! This song remember me my golden days playing Zelda .... even that I still played!

[@watcherwraith007]

Who else thinks Taylor Davis is one of the coolest people ever? She loves Legend of Zelda, she plays awesome violin covers for the game, and she actually includes the gameplay in her videos, complete with Navi and Link's entire outfit! PS: Please, oh, Please, Taylor, do Serenade of Water, or Dragon Roost Island! I know you would totally rock those, too!!!!

[@robertbaird1984]

I always love it when you post a Zelda cover, hearing and watching this made me feel like a 14 year old again, it gave me goosebumps.

[@BellaK423]

I think you made it better, it just feels so free and happy

[@マニロタナ]

omg my childhood right before my eyes!

[@SunBunz]

This made me teary-eyed. So beautiful and nostalgic. :D

[@kylebrozek7668]

You are a Goddess. Nothing has ever taken me back to the days when I was a kid and I was watching my brother play Orcarina of Time until I was old enough to play for myself. Thank You! To hear you in concert would be epic!

[@TheYellowTuxedo]

I'm a year late. This is one of the greatest things Ive ever seen. My god. Thank you so much!

[@jasonscott4525]

I just came across this and had to leave a comment. Just amazing. Even the running through the forest was spot on with link, the legs and arm movement.

[@jasonarilani]

If ever you go to Phoenix, AZ, I will definitely go and see a live show. I've purchased your Awakening song and plan on getting this Album once I have some more money. Love your music. It always brightens up my day.

[@chaitralisonawane61]

Nothing .like this one...my favourite. ..takes me to fairly land ..I love this so much Love Zelda Love you Taylor Davis

[@angelflores9002]

This video is one of the best Zelda games r my favorite and when I hear you play it's beautiful

[@Ultimate007A]

Caleb your song is stuck in my head

[@RainbowFlowerCrow]

Yesssss! Calebcity fans, repreSENT!!!!😆🙌

[@CalvinKlain]

Excellent! I love it :). That is my favorite game ever. I love the song when Link finds the sword at the temple of time, too. And the song of storms, of course.

[@Anonymaty]

Let's be honest, there are a lot of Zelda music arrangements out there. This is by FAR one of the best. Thank you!

[@blackwood930]

I would geek out if I heard this when walking through the woods. Great job.

[@ericrice5585]

I absolutely love your take on this song, especially at the 1:00-1:10 mark. Beautiful!

[@fernandohuerta9008]

This was always one of my top favorite N64 games thanks for doing this brings back memories from the 90s even though it wasn't the actually game just an intimation of it but still great job violin and cosplaying ;

[@thelizardkingdc]

how awesome is everything going on in this video and with taylor davis
