Triforce Quartet: Legend of Zelda Medley (Original Version)

[@VirgoGreen777]

This was literally one of my first KZbin videos i had ever seen. I used to watch it a billion times a day, I remember being so obsessed with watching this. Probably one of the reasons i began to be inspired to playing my first instrument.

[@triforcequartet]

Seeing comments like this is incredibly amazing and humbling. Thanks for sharing -Chad

[@aussenseitermagazin]

I remember!

[@sheiklucas]

you described me totally! same here

[@WolfiDemon]

Oh whow... 9 years and it's still there... It's the very first video of a Legend of Zelda arrangement I ever watched, and after 9 years it's still here. So nice to listen to it again ! And damn, this version of "Ballad of the Windfish". One of my favourite one. I feel like I time traveled to the past for 6 minutes~

[@ultrapaladin]

I used to listen to this video multiple times a day, back when I was a kid. Always a pleasure to hear.

[@patrickflynn1013]

This was also one of the first videos I really loved on youtube, it's such a great classical piece, it really brings you back to the game and how as a little kid you thought you kid defeat evil in the world once and for all, and like in reality and the game, the quest to defeat evil never stops cause the evil is in us and it's a constant battle to not give into the the eviler versions of ourselves.

[@GamingtheOtter]

I remember when I saw this back in 2006. I was starting out in college thinking man I wish the triforce quartet could play for an event I was hosting. I cannot believe it is actually going to happen! I cannot wait!!!!!

[@EaglemanX3Gorilla]

Unbelievable, I've listened to this at least 30 or 40 times and everytime it always brings me back to those old unforgetable memories.

[@chablemon]

Tell me, can you share the music sheets for this??? Please please please??

[@NegativSpace-pd6cz]

God damn, that intro brings tears to my eyes. Amazing work, wish I had seen this sooner!

[@KickThePj]

This is so amazing! My personal favourite - 02:30. Executed perfectly.

[@manriquez5887]

10 years later this still gives me chills. My family and I listened during breakfast this morning. Zelda continues to be my favorite game and this performance is still my favorite Zelda interpretation.

[@ionathasgnosisphd]

Amazing work, and a favorite of mine for more than a decade.

[@zerfl]

The first video I favorited, back in 2006. Great memories. Hope you're all doing well!

[@WaywardBrigand]

I am still amazed by this every time I get to the Dark World theme from LTTP. Seriously one of the best pieces of music put in a video game ever.

[@Dante_Stormpaw]

out of all the zelda games, no matter how they modify this is always going to be the difinitive tune, people (hopefully) will always remember and enjoy this, and you gys played it really well

[@LayLayCiCi]

that was the most beautiful and touching experience I ever had listening to zelda music

[@Emma-jw4wi]

I love how the cello pulls it all together. I wish I had/could play the cello.

[@bluegrayx]

2000+ comments and over half a million views for a reason! Great job, and great performance! I love seeing how a good fantasy like The Legend Of Zelda can bring us together! Thanks!

[@GamingtheOtter]

Fun fact they played at my 3rd year anniversary streetpass event in 2014!

[@brobrojenkins]

Possibly the best thing I've ever seen and heard. Absolutely mind-bottling!

[@Rinato]

Extend the bloody Zelda II intro part. That entire song is nothing short of fantastic, and how you all resonate it is simply stellar. Really, for such a short period of time focused on it, it came out really well.

[@DanCreaMundos]

really beautiful, and the violin has one of the best and harmonious sounds

[@SVwildz]

Damn 17 years later and this video popped into my head! Had to come listen

[@steelestyle]

i'm in awe. This is without a doubt one of the most amazing things i have ever seen

[@DeutschMaster]

This gave me chills. Truly a stellar performance.

[@AgeofAganor]

The beginning was the best arrangement of the original zelda theme I've ever heard.

[@teoteous]

The game is old enough to be a classic. No matter what happens it will be remembered always.

[@Tachinori]

oh man. now i miss all of my old zelda games. i own and have beaten (multiple times) every one for the consoles, and now i feel like beating them again. awsome man. truely awsome.

[@Xielvanic]

non stop shivers from how amazing this is....

[@codycraig2465]

One of my favorite videos on KZbin and one of the first I ever favorited. I'm glad to see it's still up.

[@LadySauron]

That is so totally awesome. I play cello myself and I never thought it (and violins!) could be applied to half the themes you put into this. You really made my day with this video. :D

[@PLCJockey]

yup. watched it over a year ago - still love it. well done.

[@Pheenixz]

the ballad of the wind fish brought tears to my eyes... i love that game, makes me want to complete it again!

[@MatthewBluefox]

17 years ago I watched this video on Youtubies for the furst time! :) Holy moly, how time flies! :)

[@sorinev]

Been watching this since it first showed up and the Zelda 2 Palace Theme kicking in at 2:29 gives me a shiver every time. Hard to find good string renditions of that tune. Wish it was a few minutes instead of 30 seconds, but I'll take it.

[@ClaytonWK]

224 people don't understand the passion it takes to appreciate this memory and performance.

[@old_badmovieben]

I got chills listening to this. So wonderful.

[@aroundthefur922]

Stunning. Had me in tears by the end. Fantastic arrangement!

[@nanjirouh]

one of the most beautiful music ever composed especially in gamewise

[@EaglemanX3Gorilla]

GOOD GOD!!! I didnt think music could make me get the chills

[@irazun]

This is so amazing. I can't say anything else. I'm stunned.

[@VWNHYximnotokayxMCR]

I need this cello part... That was very awesome!! Gorgeous playing =] I adore this, all the instruments, perfectly in tune. As expected, amazing work!

[@Natsuko17]

That was the most badass performance. It was totally awesome!

[@Spartacas]

I've actually heard this arrangement before, but I still got goosebumps at 2:33! Nice job!

[@WaywardBrigand]

My god, the Dark World theme (one of my favorite themes from any game) was practically made for violins. Well done. You have my 5.

[@goatphew]

Oh... my... god.... Iv'e seen this like when it was first posted and I still get the chills....

[@phraser]

Brings back many fond memories of that epic and classic game.

[@1982Breezy]

VERY beautifully done! Entertaining and great timing.Bravo all four of you!

[@sukerichu]

this is by far the best coverage of the loz music. I love the intro, starting slowly, gaining power with more and more strings joining. out of tune sometimes ? ok but the intensity and role of each instrument is very well done =)

[@Joe43215]

scratch that, the whole thing was awesome and when i heard ballad of windfish my whole body started to shiver........ beautiful

[@TheRealLink]

Absolutely stunning job. Like I wrote on other videos, this is coming from a true Zelda fan. Despite the quick rush, it's nearly flawlessly executed and hey, I'm sure playing traditional instruments isn't the easiest thing with the songs layering as they do. Just tremendously wonderful work!

[@chrismartinez03]

pure talent guys. totally pleasing to the ear. thank you.

[@chrisbluestone]

Wow, so old. Great transcription. I remember hearing the original Hyrule Orchestra performance from old Zelda fan sites in the early 2000s.

[@Nathanallenpinard]

Excellent work Chad! Loved the originality you put into it while keeping the theme alive.

[@helliop]

i love how the camera pans out at the end, fantastic video.

[@Kevins93cobra]

Freakin' amazing! It's not like Zelda was the most important part of my childhood, but this music instantly makes me feel like I'm a kid again, controller in hand, on my parents living room floor.

[@kakkorotcky]

Hey this is awesome. Congrates on making this! I play the Cello in my school orchestra and just listening to the Cello parts are amazing. Keep up the great work!

[@VampWolf233]

Omg this is beautiful -tear drop- absolutely beautiful...

[@LonelyinCali]

This is so cool! I'm so jealous! I like when they went to the palace theme at 2:30. So sweet!

[@cr1spyn1nja]

I gotta agree with you, I've heard this medley more than I can count but it sounds best on strings, this video is awesome

[@spartan247]

dude, this pwns so hard it gives me the shivers when i listen to it

[@Pferdetaler]

Awesome playing - is full of Emotions! I dont know why anybody dislike it!

[@hatedolls]

i love how it was pieced together well!!!

[@dangalos]

A friend of a friend had this played on a violin as she walked down the aisle on her wedding night. How amazing is that?

[@Blhunt88]

One of the coolest things I have seen

[@DancingSquidward]

Awesome! I've only been playing for about a year because I play in my schools orchestra and I cannot love it anymore :)

[@FleshWoundGoth]

this is awesome... :D needed somethin like this to cheer me up, good to see people still make MUSIC.

[@highwind0741]

this is the most beautiful thing ever!!!!!!!!!!

[@davelynchmusic]

So, not only did you work out all four parts by ear, you only worked out you were going to perform it on the day... and it's THIS good? That's damn impressive. Awesome work! Makes me want to play some Zelda now...

[@akiramitsuragi]

Oh my god. this made me cry tears of happiness

[@XIXoAWESOMEoXIX]

I had this song on my mp3 when I was a kid. I was searching for this video like 2 o 3 year really! Im so pleased :¨D THANK YOU

[@borwny]

OH MY F-ING GOD!!! that was one of the most amazing peaces of Zelda I have ever heard! It made me shiver and the lullaby part kinda made me wanna go to sleep....the magic is REAL!! hehe. Well hopefully you are gonna have another piece on youtube! :D

[@Instrumentatis]

Awesome one of the best rpg's of all time wonderful arrangement!

[@emrls]

3:48 has gotta be my fav. Havent hear many ppl do this MANY Zelda songs... n most of the difficult ones are normally left out so props for this

[@akikoivu]

this just amaizing, you truly have the passion for this song

[@alfiezy]

Master Piece

[@TBoneTony]

Awsome job You recreated all of the great memories of Zelda from the NES to the Ocarnia of Time and Link to the Past.

[@cryptohunter512]

You figured out the music by ear?! WOW! Playing it is one thing but that's another! Sounded great.

[@guzza72]

Love how you arranged it, some great talent there you guys have. 5 stars.

[@Earthbjorn]

jUST bEAUTIFUL! It sounds almost identical to the mp3 version. I have it memorized and I am very impressed at your performance.

[@NadrianATRS]

I almost wept a little. Absolutely beautiful.

[@twilitprincesszelda]

3 words: best game EVER!!!! I absoluetly love this!!! the music is so enchanting!

[@BreakofReaIity]

nice arrangement. ~BREAK OF REALITY "heavy cello thunder"

[@Xezlec]

Sure, the dark world part is nice, but for me, it's the main theme. Every time I hear the main Zelda theme, I get goosebumps, and this version practically knocked me out!

[@ScathingSarcasm]

this is completely epic. love.

[@SabinReneKnight]

You guys are so awesome. I hope I can arrange music this well in the future.

[@WorldofNene]

that was beautiful and my fav theme was in there

[@LibisFish]

There are a number of talented musicians in this world who can figure out music by ear.

[@nantoki4]

[@narzibenoucdel]

Wow... I love this theme it's amazing...

[@EricaDizzle]

This is gorgeous. VERY well done!

[@chrinkster]

When i listen to this i get that depressed feeling of the good old days of when games used to be good.

[@TheGloriousOmni]

Wow. Phenominal. I think my favorite was the Dark World theme near the end. Amazing job. :)

[@kill3rcat]

[@FableSamurai]
