Radiarc - The Guardian (Hybrid Orchestral Remix)

This is the last one...right?
radiarc.bandca...
It's free; I've got 24k+ free downloads available on bandcamp, so I may as well use some of 'em!
I was a little iffy on remixing anything since I prefer to do my own thing most of the time, not to mention the original theme is pretty simplistic, but I found a bunch of stuff I could do with it to make it a bit less repetitive and keep the riff interesting.
Hopefully, at least.
I do really like how intimidating the original is, and I wanted to keep that same factor evident in this, but being that my rendition doesn't play in-game, I wanted to see if I could convey an encounter with dynamic and tonal shifts.
Maybe it worked, maybe it didn't -- that's for you to decide!
If you like what you hear, feel free to check out my bandcamp:
radiarc.bandca...
10 albums, an EP, plus some bonus stuff you won't find anywhere on youtube.
If you REALLY like what you hear and want to support me (and, in turn, the music) directly, I also have a patreon:
/ radiarc
I don't typically do remixes, but I'm working my hardest to ensure that whatever I upload is the best I can do.
And, for you description-readers out there, I've got some stuff I've been doing behind-the-scenes:
clyp.it/5u0eahhi
clyp.it/3qxbngkg
I've been taking on commission work for small indie games to help pay for stuff since my work hours got cut, so there'll surely be more to come (no links to the games available at the time; sorry).
I've been doing a little better in spirits and in finances, but I'm a long way from where I need to be, so here's hoping this is just the beginnings of something great.
Stay awesome, guys.

[@teenfoe]

10000 years ago the Shiekah Tribe managed to seal away Calamity Ganon using an army of autonomus soldiers known as Guardians. Combining advanced computer and robotic technology with sophisticated magic, they were able to take Ganon by surprise. Generations later with the King taking the ancient prophacy seriously, the old guardians were dug up and got to function again. The Kingdom of Hyrule thought they could use this old technology to seal Ganon away once more. They were wrong. With a few hundred lines of code and a bit of dark magic, Ganon was able to hijack these automated machines and turn them against the entire Kingdom. All of Central Hyrule was completely destroyed, the kingdom left in ruins. There were no survivors except a few people who managed to make it out of the region in time. Most of the Royal Family exterminated. Only Zelda remained. Her last hope was placed in regenerative stasis at the Shrine of Resurrection.

What if it had laser eyes the came out the side of its head that looked like the guardian turrets, and 16 legs, some of which could grab you and slam against stuff and throw you around. Also it could have mini sentries that came out of its head like with the ones with the goron divine beast, and could also shoot the mini lasers at you!! Also it needs to be HELLA big. Like calamity ganon big.

It almost feels like it could really belong in the game, but at the same time it's got your unique style woven in and I love it. It's more... 'dreadful' than the in-game version, if that makes any sense? It gives off so much more of a tense feeling. You should seriously get BotW. It's so much fun.

Honestly speaking, I don't have the game yet, but I'm gonna try to get some extra money together to get it; for a long time, I've avoided single-player games in favor of Melee/Smash 4/Risk of Rain, but my goodness, it looks like a lot of fun. This was actually a lot of fun to make, despite being a little on the repetitive side. I wanted to do some craziness like the violin in the original, but I was at 7.3GB out of 7.7GB of RAM, so I just couldn't make it work; instead, I just tried to explore a little with sound design and see where that took me. I'd like to make it a bit more razor's-edge and powerful, but I feel pretty satisfied. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Oh, I've listened to all of it, but I was actually referring more so to my theme being kinda repetitive, since there was quite a bit more I wanted to implement, but I still tried to change it up as much as I could. And I'm glad you like it! I'm really looking forward to getting the game; it's been waaaay too long since I've played a single-player game that I've felt I could devote a lot of time to and feel amply rewarded. It also helps that I've been wanting to play another Zelda game, and this one looks to be pretty intricate.

He jumps on the body of his nightmare and puts the Master Sword in its eye. The guardian goes back and forth, panicking in robot, not knowing where to go. Link repeatedly stabs the guardian in the eye until it finally shows no signs of life. This is what I imagined during the video was playing lol

This makes me want more aggressive guardians in Totk. Imagine it just keeps chasing you and when it gets close enough you lose the ability to fast travel… unless you defeat it or escape.

[@gabby993]

I don’t think guardians will be an enemy in TOTK. They were against you in BOTW because of Calamity Ganon’s malice. Which calamity ganon was destroyed

The day of the Great Calamity

I hecking love this remix so much, I truly believe this could be in Botw 2. It really captures the feel of the Guardians, even more than the official one, and the one in AoC. You did an absolutely amazing job, and I mean it.

This sounds way scarier and more epic

(New comment) Imagine you encounter a boss type Modified Guardian outside of Hyrule Castle with this theme playing… (Original comment) -> Imagine a boss that took place before entering the castle where it had you being chased on horseback by a massive wave of guardians with this theme

[@rottie6943]

dude this remix is BOMB!!!! i actually got chills listening to this-you somehow managed to make it super cool sounding while keeping the intimidating theme of the guardian fights intact! amazing job my dude ^^

[@X_Grave_X]

If they make a guardian boss this should be the theme

[@MintFish46]

At 4 seconds you can hear something that sounds like a Guardian moving.

[@tnnt1263]

i actually started to dive into the code of botw to see if i could swap out the og guardian theme with this

[@itsjustlou1963]

This sounds like a theme for some kind of mega-guardian boss. Love it!

[@insertnamehere5193]

BOTW 2 should use this if Guardians return. Or something similar, just a version that sounds even more intense like this.

[@theemunroe2307]

First time playing this game, my heart pounded Everytime I heard this theme start up. I never knew you could just chop their legs off until I was close to finishing the game.

This makes we wonder: Imagine if the blood moon brought about one lone guardian in Botw or TOTK. One so big and damn powerful it functions as the wrath of the Calamity or the extension of the demon king. The rise of the blood moon means it will chase you no matter where you are for a solid night, unleashing Blight-level blasts at you that one shot you if it makes contact. You'd have to be a master at parrying to take it out in 3 shots. Otherwise, run for your damn life. It doesn't just use blasts either. It's smart enough to strike with its appendages and shoot smaller blasts and prepare to charge the bigger one. Towers, shrines, and the environment won't save you from its pursuit. That would easily turn the game into a horror game in one go XD

[@clonetrooper2003]

Maybe the Battle Damaged Guardian from aoc?

[@herosdiaz8757]

@@clonetrooper2003 Sorta. Probably bigger, Moves around like the BOTW Guardians, and even it you hit it in the eye, it will strike with its limbs.

@@herosdiaz8757 yeah and it would be in a sheikah themed space dungeon 🤩

Thanks, I'm happy you both like it!

I love the guardian battle music :D

This is literally in every combat montage i watched. Nice

This is the best Legend of Zelda remix I've ever found! It doesn't ruin the original, only making it more epic. I love it!
