Zelda Breath of the Wild Guitar Cover - Rito Village

[@DGR_Dave]

My personal favorite theme from Breath of the Wild...this was magical to listen to!

[@Wiiezner]

You should make a series called "Is it Playable?", and then play whatever instrument ;)

[@ManWithRaft]

The stupid bird whistling kinda ruined it though :P

[@CallebeMedeiros]

OMG!! Very cool!!!

[@leapyleaf4487]

@SuperMaximoBro Ultimate yeah but they remade it for BOTW

[@Davierdor]

I didn't really like the wind waker version of this but this one is so nice to listen to

[@SLADEYKINS]

imagine walking past this in the park...

[@OfficialMrRATpHace]

Walking past? You mean sitting down and listening.

[@patchmcq5007]

oh I did..... I did..

[@ethandudash369]

Alrighty fellas! Who's down to get the tabs and head over to your local park?

[@dominiccsanjay]

1:27 Jazz chord progressions have got to be a top 10 human invention, I could listen to these 10 seconds forever

[@Jha-s-kitchen]

Oh, so that's why this part always sounded amazing

[@BradleyOrlando-q3t]

Yep I love that part too

[@Godvivec]

Very bossa nova feel to me.

[@Top1a1]

It has a Wind Waker vibe to it, which holds a very dear place in my heart. Thanks for the good times.

[@Jasvitam]

It basically is a remake of the Dragon Roost Island theme, so yeah, same vibe indeed :)

[@ROLOGamingOfficial]

Its a remix of dragon roost Island from WInd Waker! but transformed from a up beat, to a calmer melody. It just magic.

[@iCollectCans]

Its literally Dragon Roost Island

[@glass2271]

its from wind waker

[@someguythatplaysvideogames6177]

Don't you just hate it when you leave a comment, somebody replies insightfully, and everyone else comments the same but less insightful? Yeah, me too...

[@TwistedTeaFate]

Okay but that whole progression that started at 1:28 is the most beautiful arrangement of chords I've ever heard.

[@xcaluhbration]

You'd love Bossa Nova guitar then.

[@yourfavfkboy]

You should go listen to some Bossa Nova then bro ;)

[@quinnquestions39]

⁠@@quickstep2408hey did you play it

[@nickandbarry1777]

I think BoTW did an interesting take on the Zelda franchise as it relied less on action/puzzle solving and high paced music to a more somber and immersive experience. This highlights how impressive the music can be and how although light, still carries an intense tune like something out of a Ghibli film. Good shit dude!

[@player6769]

Sooo many of the themes gave me ghibli vibes. Come to think of it, the whole game did. What a masterwork

[@thebarringtonTV]

I agree! What really sells the Ghibli vibes are the cartoonish characters in a realistic environment. Also , I believe that Nintendo chose the soft music scores so it wouldn’t distract the player from the sounds of nature in the game.

[@a.j.8942]

The japanese have the best sense of aesthetics in my opinion!

[@GenghisWanghis]

The score is amazing, can't believe the complaints

[@galaxymew5138]

I *love* the music of Breath of the Wild, the level of immersion in the area your in is just *amazing*

[@sk8_bort]

I was like "there is no way he's gonna play that tremolo part, he'll probably rearrange it to make it playable". Ok, he did play the tremolo part I'm done.

[@SNESdrunk]

How?

[@HollowRick]

Practice and patience

[@Erik-zd2oi]

It's easy! You just have to pay for the tabs...

[@JoeJeremiah]

Damn that was amazing dude

[@thelisted3004]

You know what’s nuts - when he runs out of notes on the fretboard, he uses harmonics seamlessly, almost like there were those extra high frets on the guitar. This guy is something else. This version is good enough to be in the game!

[@felixLucretius]

every second from 0:29 to 0:42 was immaculate, especially those harmonics at the top, holy cow. That's not even getting into the incredible tremolo section immediately following. WOW.

[@milkme3663]

I've never seen your videos before, but you showed up on my suggested page and it was a really good idea. I've had such a horrible day today and honestly for the past couple of weeks, but this allows me to just close my eyes and drift away to Rito Village. Thank you so much, you're amazing.

[@mattherron173]

I can't described the feeling that the rolling chords in this soundtrack bring me. I get chill every time i hear them. Hajime Wakai is an amazing composer and thank you Sam for doing this song justice

[@Percival-ig2ye]

I don't know you but I'm really proud of you. This is so incredible. I feel like I'm floating when I hear this song.

[@guitarmusician7]

Absolute perfection.

[@ZachHeyde]

Dude, absolutely incredible-your coordination between those tremolos and the finger picking is nuts. Can’t wait to check out your other stuff!

[@Patenando]

Wow. Just wow.

[@IsacSalehGuitar]

Really skillful! Especially loved the tremolo part :) Amazing job!

[@BirdUpFR]

Guess i had never realized that the rito theme was based on that one wind waker song. Amazing cover, i will most certainly try to learn this

[@JakeNOTHING]

ToastyIsBaked dragon roost island, one of my favorite themes c: I was mesmerized when I heard the rito village version in botw

[@BirdUpFR]

JakeZleeper as of late i would have said that botw was my favourite, but now that I've realized it has poor replayability if you've 100% beat it the first time, I'm going back to wind waker being my favourite. The atmosphere is damn near perfect in that game, especially since the music is much more prominent.

[@GrifGuy123]

holy crap the plucking to match the accordion is one of the best things ive ever heard on a guitar

[@NintenDub]

Screw you.... "I can play this piece of music that makes no sense to play on the guitar...and can do it in an epic tree" No really though that's awesome.good job

[@carlosriveramusic]

Plsssss never stop doing video game music. I appreciate it so so sooo much. Excellent job.

[@imdanstellar]

this is incredible

[@happygoruckyrandy]

I think I've listened to this at least once every day the last two weeks. What a beautiful melody, different emotions, well played. I really love the tremolo part.

[@N64-13s9g]

This guy is working so hard! Thanks Sam!

[@kbushehri]

Seriously one of my favorite videos on youtube. I dont think there has been a single week where i dont come desperately looking for it (like an addict) ever since i found it 6 months ago. Crazy good performance.

[@MoochieMary]

This is so beautiful. Its 1 am, im drunk, and I am crying

[@asianslayer555]

I have to say that every single note is perfect for this arrangement. Glad to be alive and enjoy this music from you man!
