The Legend of Zelda - Song of Time (reorchestrated)

I reimagined the awesome Song of Time with a quite mystical approach, epic orchestra and some Gregorian chants. Hope you like it!

[@RhiShadows]

Preston Ostrander I have the N64 version. I just prefer the 3DS one.

[@grzdiz]

@Preston Ostrander Man, I really don't like comments like these. Jeez, why does it matter which version it is? Ok, you played the original and you liked it more, of course, you probably played it when you were younger. But guess what, I played both Majoras Mask and OOT for the first time on the 3DS, cause I am younger, and was born when those games were on N64, and there was no way of playing it there. I was introduced to the Zelda franchise via 3DS, and I love it as much as you do, maybe even more, have been obsessed with it ever since. Because of comments like yours I feel less of a Zelda fan, cause I haven't played the originals, where in fact they tell the exact same story which is the only important thing...

[@matthewlabelle5332]

I love the Sanctus dominus Catholic Gregorian chants in the song. I love this game because it was the seed that planted my faith in catholicism with all its references. I thank God everyday for introducing me to legend of Zelda at such a young age

Imagine Nintendo using this theme for the reveal trailer of an Ocarina of Time Remake on Switch for Zelda’s 35th Anniversary

[@tintarabochia9422]

As you enter the temple you hear echoing from far away but that isn't your steps but what you hear is some singing deep in the temple. As you walk further you hear your footsteps and singing but even better. You see a big wooden door in front of you, you open it you hear door squeaking. As you open the door in front of you is a person with piano playing song and singing in latin language. You look around and you see rusty stone pillars and the room is dark only one piece of light is going towards the person singing. You walked to the person... But when you got closer... You start to fall down in void while this song is playing in background. You fall on the grass as you fall you see mountains, rivers, beautiful landscape... You know your adventure starts now...

[@faby_baby]

Haha nice this is great yeah However, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZbin and a KZbin channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)

Nostalgia really hits with this track, I remember being 5 years old sitting in my room playing this game with my dad while he watched me play and finally reaching the door hiding the Sacred blade, I felt accomplished and proud that I made it that far especially because I was mostly trying to impress him 😂 I remember the magical moment the door of time opened as Link stood in front of the sword staring at it in it's pedestal, I remember looking at my dad and he looked excited as he had already beat the game when he was in highschool, Finally I pulled the blade and the bright blue beam of energy shot down as Link got teleported into the Sacred realm, I remember the camera cutting back to Link after the dialogue and thinking "HOLY CRAP HE'S BIG NOW HE'S NOT A KID ANYMORE THIS IS SO COOL" My dad looked proud and probably was the only time I'd seen the face he made in that moment, This game truly is a Master Piece.
