Skyloft - Ballads of Hyrule II (from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

Now that Ballads of Hyrule II has been announced, I want to share the single with you, which you get when you preorder on Bandcamp: lnk.to/boh2
This is the first track I worked on and it helped set the tone for the album. I was playing Skyward Sword HD at the time, and I found myself constantly humming Skyloft all day. I made an energized version to cheer me up - hope it does the same for you.

I'm getting flashbacks of running through the town while catching the green things to keep the run meter full, good times

[@hellmerik2086]

That's my whole childhood

[@bugboy9054]

I adore your first Ballads of Hyrule collection dearly, so this is a wonderful and exciting surprise! I love what you've done with Skyloft, it's gorgeous! I'm so excited to hear more!

[@hellmerik2086]

I remember playing that game back in 2012, it was my first Zelda and i litteraly never felt again what I felt playing thus game. The hours i spent on it, the memories... god it makes me want to cry from nostalgia Thanks for that amazing track, you're a legend of Zelda :)

[@still_your_zelda]

That's amazing it was your first zelda game! There's something magical about the zelda game that releases when you're like 17-19 too. That was SS for me. I was 17, same age as Zelda and Link and it was the game that got me really into the series. I hope it keeps evolving, much past BOTW and we can see what else the series could be!

[@hellmerik2086]

@@still_your_zelda Wow that's so cool if you started with SS ! I was 10 now I'm 19, time flies... Well let's enjoy botw2 asap then ^^

[@chabileo]

sits back and listens to the magic

[@arcaniade6607]

Looks like we're back in the sky.

[@otterbells]

This is the best rendition of Skyloft I have ever heard. It sounds like looking back in time to old memories.

[@kerbo5742]

I love how you incorporated a glimpse of that love theme somewhere around the main melody ❤❤ This definitely sounds like nostalgia and good times...

[@still_your_zelda]

wow ok majora's mask was my first zelda game (i mean at 6...not the best idea for a kid) and I adore your covers of those songs. Skyward Sword is my absolutely favorite. This is stunning and I am crying. Thank you for posting it. 💙

[@thejackofalldans786]

your music is so transportative if thats even a thing, I so often feel im actually there witnessing the events and world these songs are based from, truly a master of your genre, of your art.

[@bike4aday]

Soaking in oceans of nostalgia

[@burnacho485]

I jumped! Im soo happy!

[@gabrielramos4179]

Such a beautiful rendition that brings a new hue to an already brilliant palette without diminishing it's original sound. As a young musician, this inspires me and as a long-time fan of the LoZ series, showers me with fresh nostalgia.

[@ianlarsen3920]

This song cheered me up very much too. The very first time I listened to it, I was driving in the car, and I felt a rush of euphoria and nostalgia upon listening. This is a wonderful version of the song, definitely my favorite from this album. I love it!

[@doriandmolinarm2447]

Lets go dude

[@froezone_]

Literally cannot contain my excitement for this album!! The hype is very real. LOVE this track. And don’t think I didn’t notice the Romance theme and Outset in there 🙌🏻

[@Almost_an_Author]

And since we can't comment on the others... I also love the wedding organ at the end of Tarrey Town!

[@fallenaj2475]

This music has such joy condensed into it. It make some so happy to listen to this. It makes me wish I could run across Skyloft myself.

[@KoruXypress]

Lovely. Simply lovely. It has a more driving feel but still has that iconic relaxing vibe at the same time. It almost has an adventurous tropical honeymoon vacation feel.

[@swissbacalhau8118]

Omg, amazing

[@BlackArrowGaming]

This is just...unfathomably beautiful. Thank you so much! Your re-interpretations of LOZ music are a wonderful and much-apprecieted gift :)

[@axlesteve5707]

YEAS I LOVE IT

[@schrimply5980]

[@chloerosey]

I'm so excited for this album! 💖

[@yonkraccoon4834]

One of my favorites from you (I think I came from Nier Automata years ago) The background parts welled me up with emotion! I like how you made it big but not TOO big

[@incurvezlestous1833]

[@LordBorkidy]

Hello ROZEN, I was wondering if I could have your permission to use this remix for an upcoming Zelda project that I am making, it’s a prequel comic dub to skyward sword! So please reply on whether or not I have your permission

[@RozenDJ]

Hi! Please email contact [at] mechadream com with your request

[@LordBorkidy]

[@silydragon5510]

It's a nice song, but it doesn't really feel like a zelda song anymore. It's a bit Chaotic.
