Link's Awakening Medley Cover (ft. 8BitBrigader, Medllix, Soundole) - Bassoonify

Link's Awakening is out on the Nintendo Switch, so what better way to celebrate than with a cover medley of the best songs from the game! I teamed up with great musicians to bring you a woodwind ensemble Link's Awakening Medley!
Song downloads, sheet music, and more!

When the reveal trailer of the Links Awakening remake first appeared on Nintendo Direct, I immediately set to work transcribing the music. I loved the interplay between all the voices, and using bass clarinet as the bass voice gives the bassoon the freedom to play other roles in its tenor range to create a variety of fun colors in the ensemble. After finishing the main theme, I started arranging the B section of the overworld theme in a similar style. The Capcom games gave us such a cool B section that you never get to hear anywhere else. I really love Sword Search and you can't leave out the Ballad of the Windfish, so soon enough a medley was in the works. A big thanks to the musicians who made this possible, please do give them a follow and check out the wonderful music they create on their channels. For sheet music and recordings consider throwing some support my way on Patreon.

[@rainfire4749]

Rubies are red, Link's tunic is green, this may be the best-sounding woodwind team

[@RoPanuganti]

Admit it, you all recorded for the game. This is so hype

[@Bassoonify]

Then this video would be a terrible breach of contract! Thanks very much Ro, I'm excited to check out the rest of the soundtrack. I really like this new composer's arrangements!

[@Medllix]

This is another amazing arrangement and production!! Those runs and some of the lines were tricky but they layer in so well. The arrangement is so original and the editing is crisp. Thank you for having me!!

[@jasoncervantez]

When y’all jumped into the title theme I legit started crying. This is amazing.

[@stahrmie]

It’s always such an honor getting to play your arrangements and perform with all of you guys 😭😭💕💕 this might be my favorite to date!!!

[@GREATTIME]

sounds fuego

[@zkatt3238]

Wtf, this is one of the best arranged medleys I've ever seen. 4 years later and I wish you were still putting out content.

[@juanseberino5456]

Today I lived! Never thought I’d hear the Woodwinds like this. Blown away.

[@Soundole]

Thanks so much for getting me involved! This turned out so well!

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks for being such a big part of it! Those are so wicked runs you got down for it!

[@kaosumog]

compulsively Liked after 10sec of listening

[@nleoa]

Incredible composition and performance, draws many areas from the game, and the finish part is almost one to one with the title screen, amazing job!

[@dannymusic]

EVEN THE TOODLER HORN MAKES AN APPEARANCE! This is phenomenal, your arrangement brings out so much woodwindy goodness; those arpeggios in the background of Sword Search especially shine. And jeez, does everyone have playing chops, what an all-star ensemble. Love this so much dude, well done!

[@Bassoonify]

I've always wanted to play sword search, this was such a fun opportunity to do so! Thank you so much for the kind words, I'll perhaps have to hold on to this to re arrange for future zeldathon performances

[@markjuarez6469]

I have to admit these were so beautiful that I did some emotional crying. Also, solid intonation tutti!

[@frechco5750]

Such a good medley, and I just love the video editing! I love watching this group of super talented musicians play Zelda tunes!

[@allenbrasch]

Everything about this cover is next-level from the editing to the arrangement to the performances. Kudos to everyone!

[@Bassoonify]

Very much appreciated Allen! I love working with these musicians.

[@subversiveasset]

The video editing and framing is astoundingly as magical as the arrangement and performance 😍😍😍 Definitely a must watch as well as a must listen

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks so much! Really happy all the little details worked out!

[@GiladPellaeon]

Why has this only 13k views? This is pure gold!

[@LeviBechtold]

Still an all time great

[@RebeccaETripp]

Hurray! ^_^ It's 4 of my all-time favourite people creating a joyous, heart-warming treat! You guys rule.

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks so much Rebecca, it was a fun puzzle to put together 😊

[@RebeccaETripp]

@@Bassoonify I'm back for my umpteenth listen. This is in my "cheer me up playlist", haha.

[@mangamaster03]

Yay, a new Bassoonify video! I always love your game covers, and this one is excellent as always!

[@Bassoonify]

Thank you! Link's Awakening is a special game to me, so a lot of love went into this one

[@t0shim0]

This video really deserves more popularity!! I have literally listened to it like 20 times or more, much love to all of you❤️

[@crimson8051]

Maaan this deserves everything!

[@oritsuru5499]

Love, love, LOOOOOVE small woodwind ensembles like that. I'd really enjoy to join that kind of band (remembering the old days, playing chamber music or pieces in quartet or quintet). You all did a great job, thanks for your collarborations, always a pleasure to listen to them.

[@TheRageng]

I really like that fancy cropping. You have really mastered it now!

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks! I've figured out some neat tricks, but it still does take a lot of time. But with this kind of chamber music where the instrumentation can change so fast, and how jarring hard cuts can feel, it feels almost essential for something like this.

[@RecorderArcade]

Nice! Way to go all of you! Spectacular!

[@genjii5803]

LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS SO GOOD IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS!!!!

[@NewbitMusic]

Incredible cover, this game has some of my favorite VG music!

[@rednerxan2134]

Im really happy this actually has bassoon in it. Its hard to find a really nice song and no cover with a bassoon it it 💕 I play flute, bassoon, guitar and alto sax and I play bassoon most for concert band. This is amazing

[@PortmanTone]

That video editing is nutty and that performance is amaze-balls

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks so much. I think the next step is try and turn these splits and transitions into templates somehow so it doesn't take so much time to pull off!

[@saml6941]

1:14 That top middle segment where no visual ever shows up in ! I mean of course I would end up noticing after watching for a hundred time !

[@saml6941]

Wow this is great :) 4:00 This part is so freaking beautiful

[@murphinators7589]

Great to see more from you!

[@abclaybon]

Beautiful!! Thank you!

[@elreyleomar]

Much cleaner than original

[@GREATTIME]

[@기-x3j]

Link's festival!

[@Duhemsounds]

An awesome team making beautiful music and great video editing, you deserve a lot of love =3

[@jacksaito7189]

I wanted to play this so badly, but I didn't have the music, but now I do, thank you!!!!

[@EricFontaineJazz]

Beautiful! Woodwinds for the win!

[@Bassoonify]

Yes, go woodwinds!

[@AriKihel]

Nice

[@VictorTheClarinetGuy]

I LOVE it! It sounds sooooo good!

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks so much! This was a difficult one I'm so happy is finally ready to show!

[@slamb0b]

This is definitely my favorite arrangement of yours to date. Great work to you and everyone involved!

[@Bassoonify]

That's means a lot, thank you very much!

[@stephaniebranch2267]

Wonderful!!

[@cavernadeherois]

masterpiece

[@grt002]

Man you guys all have such great tone quality and clean technique. Way to go on the arrangement and excellent performance of this music!

[@brandonskelton]

This is amazing! Great playing from all of you guys! The video editing and everything about this is wonderful :D

[@SpencerOcarina]

This is fantastic! Excellent arrangement, excellent performances, great production. I love it!

[@jazusaxs]

Great arrangement😀 it makes me happy when I hear it👍

[@Kike2205]

Oh bro, this is awesome!

[@Legendav]

this is so lovely

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks very much Dave! The game look adorable, I can't wait to dig in to it

[@Gunderslam]

awesome video! love all the transitions and the performances are spot on!

[@jnuy764]

Well, I know I enjoyed ❤️💙💛

[@RyudoGoo]

Sweet sweet world

[@IzanSoria]

Nice guys, keep it up!

[@Ifnot]

Wow, everything about this is fantastic (video editing, arrangement, mix, performances). Excellent work!

[@Bassoonify]

Thank you so much, this was one of those special ones to me where I couldn't help but focus on so many small details to bring it together

[@maxhoflock]

Beautifully done!! I love the transitions too, so smooth. I can't wait to play the game now. :)

[@Bassoonify]

I'm excited to hear the rest of the soundtrack, I love the direction the new composer took with it! A great match to the asthetic

[@DacianGradaMusic]

Omg this is so amazing you guys! Best bandwind ever :^) i love that bass clarinet (?) - may be biased but my fav part is the mysterious forest ❤️

[@Bassoonify]

I'll have to include more bass clarinet in the future! Gives a lot of options to play with the colors of the instruments and allows bassoon to take on some new roles!

[@rogue-like4life]

I've wanted to cover this OST for many years but never got around to it. I am so glad I thought to* search of others thought that is worth covering. 1000% satisfied! *Edit

[@SamanthaBallard]

Everything about this was so so so good! I cannot get over how good your recorder intonation is though XD

[@Bassoonify]

Thank you so much Samantha! Is there any shame in saying that some editing in post production goes into that?

[@SamanthaBallard]

@@Bassoonify no shame 😂 recorder intonation is pretty hard imo and post production exists for a reason!

[@Bassoonify]

@@SamanthaBallard yeah, unfortunately so is bassoon. Even a great reed with good tone will keep climbing sharp the more they're played. Honestly without some pitch correction, I would have to spend so much longer on each cover than I already do

[@SamanthaBallard]

@@Bassoonify Well the correction sounds very natural and that's a skill in itself too!

[@Bassoonify]

@@SamanthaBallard 😊

[@pianelo]

Waa, good job it sounds so sweet ❤️

[@Bassoonify]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@ConnorGrail]

God, this sounds so great. Super awesome job to every one of you!

[@Bassoonify]

Thank you very much! It's a pleasure to share the end product finally!

[@Rellius]

Getting goose bumps even though I have not played this game yet xD How long did it take you to edit all those scenes so perfectly?

[@Bassoonify]

Thanks Rellius! The video editing itself was about a solid 2 weeks or so, might be awhile before I put that much detail into split screens again for a bit

[@Rellius]

@@Bassoonify Yeah thought so xD probably took more time just for the editing, than for recording and writing xD

[@Bassoonify]

​@@Rellius That is a good question. I should keep track of time spent for future projects!

[@TheNotSeeingEye]

Please get this man more subs he deserves ENDLESS SUBS

[@VGBassoonist]

Amazing arrangement! Nice job from you all!

[@Bassoonify]

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure, but also a long tedious challenge, to assemble.

[@VGBassoonist]

Bassoonify I’m sure! But it’s always rewarding just hearing it take life once played.

[@Goldblume]

Please make more Banjo-Kazooie Cover! 🙏🏼

[@Bassoonify]

I sure hope to! Banjo-Kazooie is one of the reasons I chose bassoon!

[@Goldblume]

Bassoonify you promised me last year a Mad Monster Mansion Cover for halloween do you remember? But you didn‘t 😞 Please make one for the upcomming halloween!!

[@lucniebergall8777]

Will you guys be putting this on Apple Music? This is amazing!

[@maryfalter3934]

I love this arrangement and would love to play it! I can't figure out how patronage works.

[@cooliocoolio-g7v]

Soo many hypsters, how is this not sponsored by soylent or starbucks? You guys are great musicians though, i hope you guys the best.

[@trynottokry_]

This is crazy cool! Does anyone know what software he used to edit, and get those animated frames, I’ve never seen an instrumental multi screen video like this before, it’s awesome!

[@alodrezb.a7419]

someone has the flute notes from the last song

[@DragoniteSpam]

I don't think I'm subscribed to Soundole yet. That must change immediately.

[@erickmachado1065]

Where's tal tal heights?

[@t0shim0]

How can I get a better tone on my clarinet? Soundole's is so great😍

[@notallgarbage]

Practice long tones. Try many mouth pieces and many different brand, models and hardness of reeds. Get a wooden clarinet if you have a plastic one. I play on Vandoren 5RV Lyre profile 88 mouthpiece (and so Nicolas Baldeyrou), Vandoren 3.0 reeds, and Yamaha 550AL clarinet. My sound is good. You have to try stuff for yourself.

[@t0shim0]

@@notallgarbage I got the tip from my band leader that I should try different mouthpieces but I don't know where to do that. I don't know if 3.0 is a little bit to hard for me because I'm playing with 2.5 and not so long know but I will try that. Oh and I have a wooden clarinet because I never wanted a plastic one😅 Thanks a lot for your tips
