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

[@bobby_bretwalda]

This version of the track feels very Vivaldi.

[@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!

[@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 !!!

[@marzgamingmaster]

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

[@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. :)

[@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. :)

[@Tripphammer1]

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

[@TheKnightimeProject]

Brilliant rendition!!!

[@sh0punx]

Hands down the best out of all the other vids

[@TheBlueBeatle3]

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

[@link2519]

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

[@xTEJG13x]

Exelente canció, mil gracias por subirlo! :)

[@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.....

[@banedeath]

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

[@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!

[@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...

[@WillJacobsLovesFilm]

This is so beautiful...

[@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)

[@IBuBoNiKplAgUeI]

simply beautiful. Love this version.

[@GrouchyGander]

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

[@xNekomimi93x]

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

[@michaelmarshall2473]

This is old enough to be called a classic!

[@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

[@mrlokalist]

beautifull song...i love it

[@lokai20]

i would love to see the sheet music for this

[@koopatroopa2095]

25 people couldn't get the longshot

[@dollarderp9540]

They could have just used epona

[@Baummannico]

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

[@blumonzter]

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

[@olivergre1054]

over quality? i only have the quality there /:

[@olivergre1054]

firefox^^

[@BenteinBjerke]

***** Works on Firefox too. :P

[@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.

[@xstarxgirlx21]

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

[@retr0porter]

This version destroys other attempts.

[@Endergizer]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@foel12]

absolutely beautiful

[@stiven1488]

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

[@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.

[@SilentSheikah13]

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

[@12caro3D]

this is one or the best LOZ pieces i have heard

[@tikinice]

We play this in my orchestra. Love.

[@jokebreaker]

perfection to my hears

[@TheGreatGen46]

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

[@TOPT3N]

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

[@reedfe]

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

[@ImKingLouie]

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

[@jibajibbbs]

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

[@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!

[@greendragon04]

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

[@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

[@bio189]

@@robindelange omg would it be possible to get a copy?

[@FerchoDelgaRams]

So late but this version is by Hyrule Simphony

[@Duckronomicon]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@davidyee]

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

[@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!

[@TheBGGFFbrigade]

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

[@Terrivel119]

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

[@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...

[@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....

[@BULLTRONHERO]

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

[@Drumgod1991]

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

[@luiginini]

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

[@ironmantis25]

absolutely spot on

[@FickleSunFries]

@lordphynix you could always go to zamzar.com all you do it put in the URL, your email and then it sends it to you. You can choose between a lot of formats actually.

[@FUsumisu]

I really am deeply in love with this.

[@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!!!!

[@VaheTildian]

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

[@saladspinner3200]

@YAM466 No, the events in Twilight Princes take place after OOT.

[@ragnargrimnar]

@Doomshine72 That idea is actually on the table for Nintendo right now. Whether or not it happens is another story.

[@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.

[@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. ^_^

[@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.

[@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..."

[@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.

[@triforcegirl89]

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

[@lordsassori]

great song love geurdo valley fav zelda song

WELL EXCUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS

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

[@antonio20123]

This is how my childhood sounds like.

Does anyone know the exact time and place of this performance? It’s once in a lifetime. My estimation puts it at the year 2000. It’s a Masterpiece. 🎻

[@FickleSunFries]

@Kozuechan2894 There's also Zamzar.com you dont have to download anything except the song of course.

[@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.
