+Enelabe Lacalle Om my... thank you for your free time, not kidding really thank you :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Enelabe Lacalle Yeah, this medley is a little bit too avant garde for my taste- I listen to Zelda soundtracks literally every single day and I couldn't identify those transition chunks as being part of the series at all either. Some of this is really beautiful, but it spends an awful lot of time doing redundant variations. :/

one cannot deny that since the first legend of zelda game, all the way until the very last one, the series will always be remembered for its beauty and style through its use of artwork and timeless yet breathtaking songs. this series deserves all the praise we have to give it for being among the most perfect games every made

[@franciscojavierlenatz1818]

It is a poem dedicated to Zelda. It goes through all Link stages. It isn't just a symphonic cover. It's art. Close your eyes, and I cant tell you, you'll see the trees, the faeries and the bushs tearing apart by Link's sword. Epona riding... It's perfect.

[@jasonzervos]

I just listened to it again and I will say it. The best orchestra variation of a game music piece! Maybe that's because I love zelda games. But I didn't knew exactly what a "zelda game" was when I fell in love with its music!

Oh my God, can you imagine just a solo ocarina player in front of a mic stand with a spotlight during all of those climactic moments? That would be the MOST EPIC THING. ^.^

I actually had the chance to perform this piece (or some variation of it, as I can hear) in London this year on July 14 at the Barbican Centre. And to answer your questions, I think 99% percent of the performers (chorus and orchestra) had no idea what the hell Zelda or even a Nintendo Game was :D I knew, but my fellow choir members mostly had no clue... but I was eager to explain to them :D

[@fireyalex]

It's things like this that make you really appreciate all the songs in games. Most people, when they play, they usually don't pay attention to the music and get on with their game. They don't pay attention to how much hard work people put into it to make the songs amazing. Whenever I play, I just stop what I'm doing so I can listen to the songs and pay close attention to them.

[@zenith_blade3299]

Fire Blaze Whenever I played a game, even as a toddler I was always interested in how the game's environements looked and how the music affected the environment.

[@JordanMetroidManiac]

+Fire Blaze No video game music is more immersive than than Metroid's. When you're in Maridia from Super Metroid, you see, graphically, that everything dies there, and the music tops it off. Check it out. There's also the music from the "red sand" area in Brinstar (again, from Super Metroid). That music fits the atmosphere just as well. But then I absolutely cannot forget about the Magmoor Caverns music from the first Metroid Prime. That's one of the two staple songs of Metroid! Not to mention, the menu select theme from the first Metroid Prime is truly epic.

[@zenith_blade3299]

True true. The Metroid series is really something else entirely. So it's pretty hard to describe the feeling XD. Nintendo is having a rough time with Mario and Samus. I don't believe they know where to go with them. I think there's some talk about another Metroid game, however, idk. They are just throwing games out there without putting much thought into it. Like the supposed Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi crossover. Have you heard about that? I'm not too impressed with it from the trailer. Even Pokemon, a really successful franchise since Red/Blue in 1995, lost it's nostalgia and the need to catch all the pokemon once Black/White was available in the US. By then, the pokedex became so large that it was almost impossible to complete. I almost filled it up to its entirety, but it was exhausting...truthfully. Metroid on the other hand, isn't tiring like Pokemon, or too kid friendly like Mario. Samus hasn't disappointed us yet. lol XD....well Other M, (sad to say) was disappointing. The only thing that kept us hooked was Ridley's development. Phantoon's appearance was nice. Most of us who hadn't played Super Metroid, (myself included) had no idea who it was. Prime was an incredible game as well. Even people who haven't played Metroid got into it through Prime. It's just hard to find good games to play nowadays.

[@brianlynch9093]

+Fire Blaze Very true. Been listening and appreciating a lot of old Metal Gear Solid music lately

[@Captinanney]

I agree that Koji Kondo is a master of simplicity. His 25th anniversary arrangement was pure and true to the original songs. This piece reminds me of the musical score to Bambi. Although it is very good, I think when trying to make all of the songs flow as one piece there was a lot of 'fluff' added. Though some of the instruments added some cool sounds that I haven't heard before.

[@johnmourn]

My first favorite video game The Legend of Zelda, I still remember when I was a child and played the first one in Nintendo. I like this tribute.

[@terrywestbrook-lienert2296]

This was very good. Gracias, Juan ;-)

[@johnmourn]

Thanks you too Lienert, I have loved the saga of The Legend of Zelda since I was a child.

[@therealLukeReese]

That'a actually what I enjoyed about this. To make video game adaptations like this work you have to have some artistic license to make everything flow more smoothly. I thought this piece was wonderfully done.

[@ThatBoyUNeed2Know]

I wonder if the person who originally composed these melodies ever thought that his music would be transformed into an amazing symphony. As a composer, this is my dream. To create a piece of music that is loved so much that the greatest musicians come together to perform it.

[@simplynumba1]

There's a random, subtle dissonance that plays all the way through the orchestra. Not sure what that's all about. Other than that it's an iconic piece for the LOZ series.

[@toppaindrogar4049]

The dissonance reminds me of the strange things that happened in the games itself. quite nice touch IMO actually :)

[@link5205]

Of course the music alone is great but these arrangements add so much personality to it. Koji kondo, person who arranged these compositions, your awesome.

[@diviation4]

I can feel the emotion just radiating off the notes. It's absolutely beautiful. These are the song we need to play in band!

[@fironischarm456]

The finale could be the cultivation of all epic moments. The part where the hero says, "All of my training has prepared me for this moment." This, in a word, is a masterpiece.

[@nazimelon6653]

Okay, seriously now. From a musicians perspective, the whole TLoZ franchise is simply worth being noticed just for the music being used. There are a few franchises/Games like that, many of Nintendo, another one being Undertale, a Third being the Star Wars Saga. And to me, thats just awesome. I mean, how can you get to this video from wherever, maybe just from scrolling through different orchestra performances, and NOT think "This is awesome music, i want to know where this is from"?

[@Originalcrf]

Most of those 'older' people are probably the original gamer's when this and others games came into being!!

I remember the days skipping high school and hanging out with friends at the Arcade playing Space Invaders and Galaga and many others, whilst trying to impress the college girls with the high scores and gaming styles!! And now older my daughters play both Xbox and Wii and teasing me about my days as a O.G and the looks on their faces when I 'school' them on the finer arts of COD and MMO Archeage, And laugh when I mention Amstrad, Sinclair and Commodore 64 to them, and remember that they have years to go to reach the level that we OG have created since we were teenagers!! If it wasn't for Gen X where would Microsoft and Apple be today...

[@xLaurystone]

I told myself not to cry while listening to this but.. seriously I played Zelda since I was a baby and it brings so much good memories and nostalgia.. wow just, wow. I'm such a bug fan of Zelda and a fan like you understands the love and the attachment that taht sort if music brings to you. I love Zelda so much people don't understand why and without it in my life, I would be another person totally. This is a masterpiece just as the Zelda franchise. Perfect!

Warm air (breath) makes moisture condense inside relatively colder metal instruments. The player has to get it out otherwise it would noticeably affect the sound of the instrument. Many brass instruments will have a "spit valve" or "water key" in order to get the excess moisture out but french horns often require the player to rotate the horn like you see or even rmove sections of piping in order to drain the water.

[@Kikeiww]

I don't understand why this is getting so much shit honestly. It's a really beautiful piece, and I think it expressed Zelda's "Adventure" feel pretty well.

I wonder if the person who wrote the original theme in 15 minutes on an inspired Friday morning using some cheap Roland keyboard is laughing is ass off.

[@goomba008]

josh71111 Never said it was garbage... Some of the most memorable themes have been created in 15 min. Just saying in the Nintendo era, video game music was much simpler: You had just a few simple sound waves to work with (square, triangle, etc) and so the music was simpler as well (relatively short, repeating, few instruments, etc). Now that simple Zelda theme we all know and love has been enhanced to full-blown orchestral performance. That, is what I find funny.

[@lukashoffman7433]

goomba008 The Original LoZ Title Screen music was written and ported to the NES in only 72 hours!

[@lukashoffman7433]

I know, but its an example of how short they wrote and ported the music. It took a lot longer to port it than it did to write the music. I think the music was written in an hour or two.

[@lukashoffman7433]

i don't listen to rap, I'm more of a classical person, but I think they put some time into their music.

[@ricardocosta5628]

This question may come off as ignorant, but why do maestros exist if no one is looking at them?

[@allxyouxneedxforever]

In case someone gets too caught up in the music, ends up going too fast or slow. That way they can look up and get back in time with the piece. It's actually a really good question. I had no idea what their place was until I started playing sax.

[@AhOwnYou]

Hm. I don't like it. I thought I would because it's an entire orchestra, and I love them, but this do it justice I feel. It modifies the songs too much in my opinion. It is an impressive piece of work nonetheless. If I were to remove my Zelda expectations from this, then it sounds nice.

[@WRXcellent]

[@vegitalink]

Its as if whomever composed this was trying to compose a beautiful opus to The Legend of Zelda but was stricken mad by The Great Old One, Cthulu whilst writing it. There too much going on at all times. So much unnecessary filler competing with the melody itself. It sounds so chaotic. Its as if no one ever taught the composer that sometimes Less is More and that negative space, the rests and silence between the notes can be just as powerful and moving. But no, theres always too much going on at all times that when we get to the climax, it doesn't stand out at all. Got more chills from Symphony of the Goddesses.

Too much counterpoint, it's like an uneasy dream. The embellishments occasionally made it feel less romantic fantasy and more soap drama but otherwise I enjoyed it.

Regigigity Some parts sounded a little too "Star-Wars-esque" to me.

[@uh1yssuh]

YES that's exactly how I feel. I wish there would just be a few clean bars of a theme without fifteen variations on it following and some hellish interlude between two pretty songs like Kokiri Forest and Zelda's Lullaby. I want to feel happy, not like Link is about to die.

+Tonythemusicman136 I can appreciate it too but I just wish there were a lot less of it.

Finally found someone that explained what I was hearing.... I can barely notice the actual songs buried in SO MUCH RANDOM STUFF. Never thought I'd be disliking an orchestra video about Zelda, but this was absolutely terrible to me.

I heard this before I played Twilight Princess. Now that I've played it and come back to this, I am even more impressed.

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

wuuuut! what have they done to the songs, they got massacred!!! holy shit, how can you mess up classic songs so bad, even when trying to change it a bit, the songs are barely recognizable now -.- i sure would like to know who the hell composed THIS particular symphony's notesheet, its terrible

[@ProfRafaelSobreira]

Shut up, music is for fun, fellings and expression, not for douches like you, go play with you toy keyboard!

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

Rafael Leite im actually a hardcore LoZ fan, moron you cant call a masterpiece replay "legend" if it downgrades the masterpiece lol, you dont know what classic music is all about, its not just about fun unlike other genres, its also about heritage, honor and tributes

[@ProfRafaelSobreira]

Yeah, sooooo hardcore!!!!

[@MightyMo11B]

xGoodOldSmurfehx Yeah buddy, it's a medley. It has to be different so all the themes can play together. But nice try at sounding intelligent

[@reaflor91]

Not trying to be an ass or something, but the Orchestra version is there not to copy the whole 8-bit theme. If it was, they would've left a tape recorder, hooked it to a big-ass speaker, and let it play. Orchestras are here to glorify the music. Make it sound much more dynamic, or emphatic. They're there to make you /feel/ the music. Not make you feel nostalgic again. Want to feel nostalgia, play the games.
