Midna's Desperate Hour on Ocarina (Midna's Lament Cover)

[@drycell_gaming]

This is one of the most underrated Zelda songs

[@nekoyukigoddessofbalance7575]

Yes. And one of my favorite songs too

[@dontestevens4831]

No its not? The comunity loves it

[@TheUltimateNatural]

No it isn't. It's one of the most popular Zelda soundtracks.

[@HyruletheCheetah]

FACTS

[@Tikku4ever]

As I listen to this I can picture Link as a wolf with a wounded Midna on his back as they travel to Hyrule Castle to meet Zelda. You sir, are amazing as always. :D Loved this one as well

[@viperdragon29]

This sounds like it were straight from Twilight Princess... It's beautiful...

[@orcfeseda]

This is what I aim for! The chill you get from hearing these notes from the Ocarina!

[@nonyobusiness4686]

Are those ALL ocarinas in the background?! .-.

[@OokamiSoulreaper808]

Looks like it

No it’s the kidneys of all his victims

[@gracemcomber6374]

AHAH THEY ARE!!!! XD

[@ProfessM]

This is the song that made me love Twilight Princess more then any other Zelda game. I was moved to save Midna I raced faster then ever before, rarely in a game do I feel like I have to do something even when save Zelda I don't feel like I need to rush but when Midna was hurt I forgot it was a game until she was healthy that's why I love this game I was sucked into the story. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING MY FAV SONG AND DOING A GREAT JOB!

[@bezoticallyyours83]

that sent chills up my spine. its so beautifully done

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Am I the only one who cried at that part of the game?

[@Sifonias2004]

You Are Not Alone Invidious! TwT'

[@richardszoghy1907]

Maybe I should replay it, because I played it last time like in 6th grade... I didn't really care about conversations xD Do u think if it is worth it playing again just for the story?

[@gwendolynpoole2801]

No!

[@gwendolynpoole2801]

@@richardszoghy1907 absolutely!!! :D

[@mcseota6061]

I cried

[@Peachy232]

This gave me goosebumps

[@HTFFanOfFlaky]

I just realized something. The light that Midna was hit with was X-rays, and we only saw the parts that weren't high enough in frequency to escape the range of visible light, through ultraviolet, and into X-ray range. Link was still hurt from it, but only about as much as an X-ray patient would be, and the is probably some lead in his shield anyway, which blocks everything except gamma rays. Gamma rays would destroy the area around, lowering Zant's sphere of influence by irradiating part of his domain. Midna was hit directly and in a higher amount though, so she still was weakened. She actually was weak to light, but so is every other living being in the franchise. X-rays are just more damaging than visible light. She wasn't actually cursed. She was suffering from Acute Radiation Syndrome, which it turns out doesn't give superpowers or turn you into a zombie. It does exactly what the real life version does. She gets weak and has to be treated, then she gets better for a while, then after a while she'll start wishing she had one of Link's fairies, then she will be too dead to think. That also means Zelda actually did give her life force to Midna as a way to extend her life. Using magic to donate bone marrow. Fairies can't reverse the cellular decay from age, and the "curse" placed on Midna causes this. A fairy could bring her back to consciousness, but she would have a few weeks to a few months to live for each one, with a shorter time each use. And there is no way to tell how long. You start out healthy, and then you decline over the course of a few hours. Midna has less than a year to live, even after treatment. Also, thanks to TP, there is a Zelda game where "Zelda saves the princess." And no. I didn't call Link "Zelda".

[@TheWolfsFriend]

😱 bruh. how did I not think of that. you sir are a freaking genius.

[@CNSabata]

+Alex Leonardi holy shit. this gives a whole new face to the game...

[@HTFFanOfFlaky]

Also, I think both Midna and Zelda are aware of this. Midna would be because she would have seen Zant use it before. Zelda knew how to treat it without any fairies, so she probably learned it from Midna after some of her soldiers had been hit. This probably would have happened a while before Zelda surrendered. Zant would have timed his siege so that soldiers were dying of ARS, and Zelda would have no idea why. Just that people are dying and it happened around the time Zant walked in demanding she surrender.

[@shinki-r3932]

by you mean zelda saved midna lol.

[@HTFFanOfFlaky]

James Ong Yes. The one game where Zelda actually does save the princess.

[@hylianfreak]

The strength of this video has made me cry!

[@someguylooking]

Got chills as soon as I heard the ocarina

[@Metallika6]

That's just perfect ! Never thought an ocarina version would sound so good!

[@freakofthesystem]

Excellent, as I've come to expect of you.Timing is perfect, and caught the emotion conveyed in the game. Simply spot-on, David. My hat's off to you.

[@splugen]

Seriously in my top three Zelda songs of all time. I was Jonesing for you to play this one. You are the best!

[@tylerbean6309]

How many people almoat cried when midna had to leave? Im one

[@ServantofBaal]

it was quite a bittersweet ending.. and no, didnt cry but it was a great ending. best of the series, i think

[@TheSpy149]

I did, but y did she break the mirror? i thought that she wanted Link to visit her sometime(in future or something). An when Ganondarf held her crown and broke it i though she died... lets just say adrenaline pumping, hard core mode activated. And when i began the game i always thought deep down in Midna liked Link. but when the end came i wasn't expecting the she sort of had a crush on Link...! I finished the game in 50 hours cause, I have a very early schedule and I can't play that long. :,`( If only...

[@tylerbean6309]

So sad for me doe. She was like my best friend and she let me be a FREAKIN WOLF! She was awesome and i literally had a gmae rage when she left >l

[@BeaterOfGames]

i almost cired

[@tylerbean6309]

At least people can relate man thanks

[@renae4458]

My ocarina is coming in Monday :D

[@36MetalLife]

...this is epic. I ussually despise listening to covers, but that Ocarina playing...you're awesome. Pure beauty that is.

[@Minecraftjunky23]

it's so eerie and beautiful that I actually cried. So many manly tears were shed to an amazing song.

[@cyberbadger]

Thank you docjazz4 for all your hard work on this week before the release of Skyward Sword with your daily videos. You didn't have to do it! - But you are making a lot of Zelda fans very happy! For me it is making the release very special.

[@wolfgirl190]

i cried a bit. too good!

[@Martinreymundo]

❤

[@Vamps17]

I love this song so much. Sounds wonderful on the Ocarina.

[@agnesmilosevic392]

one of my favourite scenes of twilight princess.... so many memories of carrying the sick midna to the castle of hyrule.. love it

[@rainbowcol0rs]

This gives me chills listening to it, it sounds so pretty and, just, yes. Keep playing ;D !

[@vulcanboy78]

You are honestly my inspiration. I got my first ocarina because of you. And Now can frequently play.

[@robynlee7107]

i love your playing so much. a river of calmnes rushes through me when you play.

[@HyruletheCheetah]

Midnas lament is my favorite Zelda song

[@arminarlert7197]

this is the most beautiful music i have ever heard and it makes me want to cry, you are a truly amazing and talented man and i hope you are proud of yourself because you have made peace in my heart and i think many more. Zelda has a very unique game designer and way of being played. this is the most beautiful song out of all Zelda and it was played on my 2 favorite instruments. this is a real talent and i hope you are very confident and you are very talented. share it with the world David. -Darkwonders

[@rumblerider89]

can you do one without the piano? I bet the ocarina on its own would give an erie feel.

[@achen8396]

Probably

[@YamiNoChibi]

Thank you. Favorite character. You covered her theme. Thank you.

[@sarahdoodles]

God I was just playing this bit actually earlier on. Easily my favourite part of the game (even though it's so short) because of the music. You played it beautifully!

[@Khoukiebby]

This is how the song would sound like if it was in ocarina of time lol

[@lolloblue9646]

Midna over Navi, at any day and any time. Sorry OoT-ers

[@contramuffin5814]

lol why does everyone think Navi is annoying? I mean at least she didn't fuss over things like Tatl... Or did she? Never finished OoT...

[@eveningdim7167]

Navi talked more the tatl did. If you went on a sidequest, navi would bug you to go on the correct path. I liked Tatl far more. Better personality, less annoying.

[@contramuffin5814]

TBF any reasonable person would bug you if you decided to go on a side quest while trying the save the world :P

[@Khoukiebby]

I don't know I don't have a preference. I like them both. Midna got the tough love for the her of twlight & navi is a sweetheart! I can't choose guys why u do dis lolol

[@DrQuorgeTheConqueror]

That is the best sounding ocarina I've ever heard! Awesome! Good playing! Great song!

[@seberice]

I can't stop listing to this, I've played it over about five times now.

[@Zone10Permaculture]

Excellent! Very well done! Thank you for sharing with us. Best of luck!

[@LegendOfZelda38]

Omg this is SOOO BEAUTIFUL... i can't stop the tears from streaming down my face when listening to this.. sorry.

[@AkeelaPyro]

I found the tabs for this on STLocarina forums, and for the life of me I could NOT recall the tune. So glad you did this video. :). Thanks!

[@DavidErickRamos]

@Zuyuri It wasn't easy. It took two hours of sitting at the piano staring at the sheet music to get it without messing up once O_o Keep practicing!

[@a7xftw92]

And just like that you've got yourself a subscriber. It sounds so beautiful ;___;

[@elenaalex4588]

omg the music talked to my soul

[@R1ckr011]

Wow... this is amazing. I'm really really reminded of the lost woods section of the game by this...

[@SilverSophia]

I could listen to this forever!

[@thesammo4499]

Midna's Desperate Hour only lasted for 3:39 minutes though...

[@Umbrella2]

Well done, very beautiful, love this ancient sounding melody, very soothing.

[@Sumomokun]

Es preciosa!! No he jugado a otro que no haya sido el Ocarina of Time, pero las canciones siempre son perfectas!! Felicitaciones.

[@MrLeelee12345678]

You are so talented! Thanks for all the instruction!

[@MrFlareon136]

Well this guy has both, I love his work!

[@wynwynwynwynwyn]

This makes me want to play Twilight Princess again. I loved that part, and I fell in love with the music as soon as I heard it. :D

[@carlaexceed8605]

Beautifully played ..........*cries hard*

[@thraxier]

amazing job David! the production value is really nice with this video! My only bif i had was the video of the piano is a tad bright compared to dark video of the ocarina. But nothing was noticeably wrong with the sound, its positively superb! Absolutely stunning! you really outdid yourself, lol

[@jorgeromero2101]

This is my favourite track from Twilight Princess

[@guardingdark2860]

Just got an ocarina today. I now have a goal to aspire to. I love this song so much, and I don't know why I didn't think to try to play this on my ocarina. Thanks for giving me the idea! :)

[@DavidErickRamos]

My pleasure!

[@camtbone96]

You're really good at making music! You totally rock!!

[@Watersparx]

This makes me very happy. ♥ I love the ocarina playing~

[@ChRoPi21]

You guys should seriously release an Album! Like I would buy that!

[@sophiatalksmusic3588]

I'm currently learning this on piano. I'm considering learning it on the ocarina as of now.

[@MySolitaryDance]

Oh man! This just gave me the shivers! Beautifully done!! Thanks for sharing David!! Is that a Dolce double?

[@LittleSlimeGoblin]

@sharpie660 It's a double ocarina. Double ocarina's have two holes at the mouth and two chambers which allows for a higher octave :)

[@virtualobsession7478]

YES! I love this song.

[@IverieTower]

That was incredibly beautiful! Way to go as always!

[@meganschlebach7342]

i think they should keep it how it is... but good job to both of you in preforming this!! awesome!!

[@xIDGIx]

Blast! You win! I was JUST thinking about doing this a few days ago with the notes I have. I wanted to see if my ocarina in melody would be in harmony with the piano. Apparently, you proved my theory Haha. Great Job!

[@hylianfreak]

@ToastMaster623 Yes, most likely, so he can play along with it in timing. Some times people listen to an incomplete track (missing an instrument), or just the proper music, so they can play in time with it.

[@TentacleSex]

i got shivers listening to this.. holy shit... simply amazing

[@2000flute]

I wonder ..He plays all the instruments! a classic! Bravo!

[@DavidErickRamos]

It's a Focalink Dolce Double. You can get it from SongbirdOcarina*com!

[@sapherno11]

damn Docjazz, damn...this is easily my favorite Zelda theme, and you didn't dissapoint!

[@UltimateValentine]

OMG YES THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ZELDA SONGS. If you do Molgera's Battle I think I'll cry all over the place

[@reshiram4312]

Anyone else notice David's fingers at 2:52? They cover a hole (then uncover and recover the hole) but the sound has only 1 clear note there. No change with his fingers o.O

[@therevdidntdeserveit]

he didn't put it down all the way, i think it was him catching an almost mistake.
