Ocarina of Time: Gerudo Valley orchestrated

[@nekoblue77]

By far my favorite version of the song

[@TerryKashat]

BlueNightFire this version has been around since at least 2001 when I downloaded it on Napster in the 9th grade

[@David-uc4hc]

@@TerryKashat I remember it well from the early 2000s

[@alexandrecharron2573]

I was 13 when this game got out.. Today I'm 40. I still remember this song and this game like it was yesterday 27 years after. Thank you for the memories!

[@bobby_bretwalda]

This version of the track feels very Vivaldi.

[@kgthompson5814]

I've been listening to this for 11 years

[@kgthompson5814]

15 years now*

[@Bungerzofficial]

​@kgthompson5814 what about 16

[@Bungerzofficial]

Same btw

[@Omne118]

I have to say that this is my favorite version of the song. Some of the most beautiful violin I've ever heard.

[@ToehsStorage]

I had Ocarina of Time for my 8th birthday. My mom and dad draw few maps and hide those outside of our house in the small forest. Then they gave me one map and I started to look the other ones. After few maps I found circle marked place at the ground. I started to dig it with shovel and there was wood board and under that I found plastic bag and there was this Nintendo 64 The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time box. I still remember it very well after 22 years and the game was amazing. I still think it's the best game I've ever played.

[@thomaspichon9089]

cool story bro

[@amyhope5671]

This is amazing, my dad showed me zelda when I was 7 and I loved it, when I was a baby he used to sing zeldas lullaby to me, we both love zelda! Xxxx

[@Kali-8]

My dad used to show me this game too! But he wasnt really into games anymore :"/ (i had to figure everything out myself so i never came any further than the kokiri village😂😂)

[@DrDolan2000]

My sister showed my Zelda when I was 7 too. First I played the Wind Waker demo on our GameCube and then played Ocarina of Time. Needless to say, my life changed forever and I couldn't be happier

[@Adrahil86]

FREAKIN AWESOME brings back so many memorys... remember me riding down to gerudo valley just to listen to this !!!

[@amirzouaoui]

The original is "different". I get a warm feeling when I listen to the original because it brings back so much memories. This one simply gives me goosebumps because it sounds magnificent. But both are great imo. :)

[@paintballer9110]

When the violin came in at 0:40 I was overtaken by the sheer beauty of the composition. Classical music is truly music in it's purest form.

[@TOPT3N]

I agree!

[@branfizzle]

the background picture goes so perfectly with the song. the darkness of ganondorf and the hope of link and the ocarina.

[@AnAngryGranny]

I usually went there before the water temple. I couldn't get across the bridge of course, but it was enough to be able to listen to the music. :)

[@marzgamingmaster]

This verson is so beutiful it actually made me cry. Thank you so much for posting it!

[@banedeath]

This has to be the best Zelda song! The orchestration is perfect.

[@link2519]

this brings back so many memories... I am feeling happy.

[@Tripphammer1]

I literally started bawling when the video started. It's so beautiful...

[@awawawawawism]

To me, the single greatest piece of music in gaming. The combination of the game, the dessert, the temple soon following it and a great track make it unbeatable. I'll never forget crossing over with the longshot and thinking "Wow" when this music started playing. After I jumped into the river trying to fly with cuccos five or six times.....

[@WillJacobsLovesFilm]

This is so beautiful...

[@sh0punx]

Hands down the best out of all the other vids

[@michaelmarshall2473]

This is old enough to be called a classic!

[@lokai20]

i would love to see the sheet music for this

[@GrouchyGander]

When I heard this for the first time I fell asleep. It's an exremely calming orchestration.

[@drumtap2792]

My absolute favourite bit is from 1:28 - 1:49. That bit really tugs at my heartstrings for some reason. Love the whole piece though, I was too poor to play Ocarina of Time when it came out but at least I can still enjoy the brilliant soundtrack. x)

[@mrlokalist]

beautifull song...i love it

[@IBuBoNiKplAgUeI]

simply beautiful. Love this version.

[@Walde6]

i'm already 2hrs on this masterpiece, don't intent to leave yet. All this nostalgia combined with a breathtaking orchestra version let one forget all bad things we have in our world...

[@klaus2guck2raus]

Damn, I can remember when I discovered this version in 2008/2009. 10 years later and it still gives me goosebums and flashbacks to my childhood. Fuck me, time flies!

[@TheBlueBeatle3]

This is beautiful!!!! Truly smashing!!! :D

[@koopatroopa2095]

25 people couldn't get the longshot

[@dollarderp9540]

They could have just used epona

[@retr0porter]

This version destroys other attempts.

[@whiskers_jelly]

Sitting here with my eyes closed, letting all the different feeling and emotions this song evokes run through me, getting lost in the song... I have to remind myself to breathe

[@meta527II]

Coincidentally, I first started playing Ocarina of Time around the time you uploaded this video!

[@blumonzter]

I could listen to this song all day, it's awesome!!!!!!

[@xTEJG13x]

Exelente canció, mil gracias por subirlo! :)

[@Baummannico]

This is very awesome and I need the notes for my orchesta

[@stiven1488]

se me salen las lagrimas al escuchar esto, que recuerdos :(

[@TheKnightimeProject]

Brilliant rendition!!!

[@xstarxgirlx21]

I like both versions. But this string quartet really gives it a new feel. :) Violaviolin.

[@xNekomimi93x]

how can people just click on this awesome video, to dislike it :( :( :( this music is so awesome!

[@AnAngryGranny]

Actually, I was talking about going up there as Young Link. Come to think of it now, though, the music actually only started playing once you got to that area that was across the bridge.

[@jokebreaker]

perfection to my hears

[@CaptainGoodall55]

I've been looking for this version for years! Can anyone tell me what orchestra/event/album/whatever this is from?

[@robindelange]

Just found this on KZbin. I have the entire album somewhere on a harddisk

[@DaDerpyBro]

+Gotyam If you're using a fan browser (WaterFox or such) then it might not be on there. Firefox and Chrome should have it.

[@GiveMeThatLetter]

I hear three violins and one cello. I remember seeing a live performance of this song, and it was a VERY small orchestra. I'm pretty sure it was a quartet.

[@SilentSheikah13]

11 years ago.... 😭 I miss the old times

[@Endergizer]

Masterpiece. Can't find any other adjective to qualify this piece.

[@TheValiantBob]

@1lamafarmer I got Pokemon Silver as a kid too! loved that game. when they made the remake on the DS I even specifically got the Silver version because I liked it so much. and when I first turned it on, insta-nostalgia happened and made me literally squee.

[@tikinice]

We play this in my orchestra. Love.

[@foel12]

absolutely beautiful

[@ReidenLightman]

@CrusaderDeleters of course its not going to be 100% full. that wouldn't be an orchestrated piece, that would just be instrument substitution. this is a full arrangement inspired by the piece, meant to sound similar, not exactly the same.

[@SporeTres]

@Tamaraltahan I am pretty sure, you could get Epony even before starting the forest temple, if you knew her song. So, you could cross the gap on the bridge and enjoy the music.

[@MalachiteR]

@GenoCheese Midis can be looped and modified in ways that actual recordings can't. That's why they're used for games.

[@triforcegirl89]

@1lamafarmer TOTALLY agree, though nostalgia makes me happy about this game, it's just altogether awesome and amazing and everything great!!

[@Terovian]

This is great, though I wish someone would do a proper orchestration with woodwind, brass and percussion, as well as strings. That would be something to hear!

[@12caro3D]

this is one or the best LOZ pieces i have heard

[@FUsumisu]

I really am deeply in love with this.

[@Fazeshyft]

@GenoCheese I think you misread my comment: "It was a nice tune in the game, but it's truly a fine piece when it's NOT a midi from the 90s..."

[@TheJimmythebass]

if my orchestra director was willing to have us perform movie/video game music, I'd try to talk him into getting sheet music for this. this song is awesome.

[@ironmantis25]

absolutely spot on

[@TOPT3N]

This, This!!!! I love this... So beauitulf, so epic. Just close youre eyes and listen.

[@bobby_bretwalda]

I don't think you can beat the original up-beat flamenco guitars that give Gerudo that Wild-West feel but I love the Vivaldi-esque string arrangements in the orchestral version. Works really well!

[@ssjup81]

I'm just happy I own this cd. It cost me quite a bit importing it from Japan, but it was worth it for just this song alone.

[@greendragon04]

u couldnt of said it any better he is a master in the art of music :D

[@countcrayon276]

This is beautiful.

[@ReidenLightman]

@CrusaderDeleters If you can't pick up the resemblance, then get out. You don't have to like it. But just because you don't see the resemblance, doesn't mean it's not there. It wasn't just orchestrated, it was extended.

[@jibajibbbs]

I don't understand how you can dislike this masterpiece... Just how? I don't get it.....

[@Duckronomicon]

Chilly. This is what it sounds like when a blizzard hits Gerudo Valley. Or a volley of newly acquired ice arrows.

[@martiiint]

a lot of people wright "3 people missed the like button", but this time i think it might actually be true! god, how epic this is..

[@Snipererer]

@kevinmax21 sooo true. i was 5 at the time, but i could tell this was my favorite part of the game by the music.

[@TheGreatGen46]

The Water Temple was one of the most difficult ones! Most people ended there with one key missing. :D

[@drazgul1]

To the people asking where is this from, this is from The Legend of Zelda: Original Sound Track, all the music here is composed by Koji Kondo himself.

[@lordsassori]

great song love geurdo valley fav zelda song

[@ImKingLouie]

I like to dive into the river when the music really picks up. Makes me feel like Zoro.

[@DokkyDok]

Quite beautiful.

[@BULLTRONHERO]

An unbridledly passionate love song, if I've ever heard one.

Simply Awesome!!!! The Best Song Of Video Games!!!

[@superfluffyclouds]

I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!!!! :D

[@VaheTildian]

I'm gonna cry D': This make me feel so much nostalgic

[@SubduedRadical]

Oh, and LOVE the song. Orchestral version rocks, but Gerudo Valley's theme has been a favorite of mine since the first time I heard it. ^_^

[@RoxasVaio]

This music would be nice in the game as the background of a flashback that shows the past of Ganondorf and how he get that evil. Nice arangement!!!!

[@davidyee]

Oh man, this game, good memories. The re-deads freaked the shit out of me when i was like 7...

[@justus91bs]

One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. The only thing that bothers me is that i don't know where to buy it...

[@1lamafarmer]

@TheValiantBob Definitely, I don't have a DS but I downloaded the remake for an emulator and it's great. It's fresh enough to be a new experience but also completely the same game it used to be, loving it.

[@terrivel11]

@SporeTres I think the most you can start... I remember being in three temples at once. Majora's Mask too.

[@reedfe]

I love how adult link is t-bagging his younger self

[@Ghostlyghostgamer]

It may have lost the original guitar spirit, but I think it's taken on a beauty of it's own. Can't decide whether to use this one or the original for a film project...

[@slinkygman]

WELL EXCUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS

[@xXKeveniXx]

I will never forget this music never forget legend of zelda ocarina ofd time and what im 16 and i like old games

[@chrisneto]

@MalachiteR uh, with the technology and samples you can make today with recorded instruments, that's highly doubtful. midi files are insanely small, so you can fit larger amounts of memory pertaining to other aspects of the game.

[@iNathanM]

This music is amazing, far better than most game soundtracks these days. While I am a fan of newer games, I have to say that any Nintendo game (especially in the Zelda/Pokemon series) are amazing no matter the graphics. Games need to focus on an amazing story, then focus on having over the top hD graphics :)

[@chrisneto]

@HungrieHipp0 of course it's less of an issue now; I was talking about the 64 era with cartridges. you're supporting what I already stipulated...

[@ChocoRokk]

Jesus, this is amazing.

[@TheBGGFFbrigade]

fourteen people couldn't beat the water temple and never got to hear the gerudo theme.

[@Drumgod1991]

Have a good day sir and good luck with getting that life!

[@SporeTres]

@Tamaraltahan Not necessarily. You could fight both bosses in either order. Water Temple on the other hand isn't a prerequisite for Gerudo Valley in itself. More like....

[@CrusaderDeleters]

@Rifalltoo orchestrated is supposed to be on at least 50%, take Stone Tower Temple and Nothing Set in Stone.
