Zelda Breath of the Wild Guitar Cover - Main Theme - Sam Griffin

[@genestarwind4507]

So many cover artists get so wrapped up in "making it their own" or recreating perfectly that something is lost along the way. You sir, have managed to capture the magic of this piece. The feelings of wonder and mystery behind the original are brought forth again in your music. Bravo.

[@joshuagarrett4254]

Well said. And absolutley correct.

[@meeperdudeify]

And yet he still brings something more to the table. A touch more melancholy, and a down to earth feel that comes from using one instrument

[@ervinpajazetovic9834]

Every time this guy uploads, it's like Christmas for me

[@BurgerFrite]

I second!

[@mrgamerbros5737]

Pajazet P yep I listen to his music when I game clean or edit a video

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

I'm basically skinny 30yo vgm guitar santa

[@tatekelly5500]

Sameee

[@StarFox85]

@@SamGriffinGuitar sir yes!👏👏👏

[@tamlumusic]

the hammer-on at 1:08 was such a good choice... thanks for getting me even more hyped than before dude. i CANT wait to play what is beginning to sound like the best zelda game to ever exist

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

I always appreciate some comment on little specific details : )

[@Metagross31]

I really hope, that you enjoyed it as much as I did! I'm not entirely sure, if I am still hyped about the game, like the initial hype, or if I can say for sure, that it is my favorite Zelda!

[@fragtagninja1633]

Yes it was. It created a distinction in a note that might have otherwise have been lost in musical muddiness, and really made the transition prior worth it. Really good cover.

[@m4rkgm]

>best zelda game to ever exist congratulations you're a prophet

[@AmpleFried]

This comment ages well

[@gdlumen4936]

This song is already a classic. Amazing cover!

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

It really grew on me. thanks!

[@ToxicxEternity]

the chord progression during the climax is just umppph. Loved it man

[@Mackstodon]

RIP index finger. the barring is real.

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Uhhh it really is, man. Recording this was literally painful

[@soullessSiIence]

Fizz Used Splash - LoL Guides/Gameplays/Montages It's actually more comfortable to barre a classical guitar neck, since it's ergonomically made to fit your hand, while electric guitar necks are to thin and unnatural. Well, I guess this only makes sense for us who studied classical.

[@emmywillow6599]

Esteban Aguayo the curved nature of the electric is way easier to barre for me

[@pizzasub3194]

Esteban Aguayo it comes down to the person, for me i find it easier to barre on an electric over an acoustic

[@thejonguy3248]

The only thing keeping it alive is how good the song sounds.

[@BigPhil2024]

Quite close to beating the game. Idk why but as I was listening to this I got pretty sad that the adventure will be over soon. Now I know I'll have the game and can replay etc haha. But theres something special about that initial playthrough. Fantastic game, and amazing guitarist here

[@Elittys]

ivegotabfmv just now getting close to beating it and im sad cause of the same reason :(

[@Ozzymandias0]

Dude I beated in around 80 hours and it told me that I beated the %16 of full game :D

[@charrlarr6418]

Get ready for botw2

[@kiaraxox97]

Don’t worry, the adventure will soon continue when the sequel comes out!

[@johncenaplayingstarcraft9580]

I've spent like 2 years on the game (205 hours) and i still haven't beat it. its such a large adventure and I'm glad a sequel is coming soon.

[@OSW]

Amazing work Sam. Proud patron here! This looks incredibly difficult to play but you made it look effortless.

[@jossbearpark8173]

I find it so odd that people dislike this. Yeah, dislike the song but the guy is CLEARLY super talented. Ahhhh the damn internet..! Very well done man. You kick it to the max!

[@BeyondTheGuitar]

Legendary

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Oh shush, Nath

[@BeYoND_9000]

Right? Shush you now Nath, progress past 9000 then you may post

[@gnnr222]

I often come back to this video, just to realize how old it is and how much time flies

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@Jollex2000]

It’s now been 7 years… And I still can’t believe how beautiful this is, neither the game, nor this cover.

[@cyndacat76]

IDK how you managed to fit every audible chord and Melody onto a 6 string guitar and be so accurate to the original. This is absolutely amazing

[@c4r50n4]

i could only dream of being this talented and expressive to be able to play this rendition on repeat

[@davisginn1298]

Dude, this was really moving, it really made me tear up, thank you so much for this piece of art :] I'm now even more hyped for Breath of the Wild, and excited for your new content, you just earned a subscriber!!

[@はる-g6l9i]

いつも聴いて安らぎをもらっています 美しい音楽をありがとう

[@neozzickmixes3987]

@1:07 I love this part on nylon guitar, beautiful

[@Musician837]

As a seasoned musician with basic guitar skills - like someone else said here you really captured the essence of the piece. The people that make covers so good that it becomes the most famous version of the piece. This deserves that.

[@grt002]

It's taken a while for me but this main theme has grown on me, especially the section at 1:08. You did a great job with this one as you always do, obviously!

[@ceast5273]

This cover sounds like it should play whenever Link and Zelda have a touching moment together. Like a quiet boatride, heart-to-heart kinda thing. Really hope the next Zelda game is a direct sequel to BotW and grows more of the characters even further than it already did.

[@esosa7725]

That one dislike is from ganondorf

[@Metalhead_freak_08]

And yiga clan

[@amazinglazedonut]

Gawwd, the clean harmonic followed by the beautifully subdued last chord = chills...

[@kevo4us]

love the rolling of the chords at 1:15 man, love your solo work as well as the super guitar bros!

[@quaychuletseii7163]

Watching you reminds me of when I would sit on the floor and watch my dad play the guitar. That’s where I first had interest in the instrument. He taught me a few things, but I still don’t have a way with the thing. So I’ve been watching your covers. So intricate, it’s so perfect to the ears.

[@PityPitMusic]

Jesus fuck I got chills from this and nearly cried. I’m already becoming nostalgic for this game.

[@kurrizzle]

Woooooow the harmonic thingy right at the end, beauty

[@_Audreysings_]

OMGGGG THIS IS THE MOSYT BEAUTIFUL THING EVER AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND THINK OF ALL THE GOOD BOTW TIMES IVE HAD

[@LucasPlummerDoesThings]

TOO TRUE (This really is)

[@dPoten]

gave me chills!! awesome man!

[@jmp0035]

This brings more meaning to the world

[@viniciusrojas7877]

I'm crying right now Great work.

[@joeyjojojunior1794]

1:08 The good part

[@avenging209]

Wow, great job. Amazing that you captured the soul of the orchestra on your guitar

[@MissClickGaming]

Actual tears! Beautiful job representing such a beautiful game. Much love! ♥

[@Enslaved1184]

1:08 it gets real.. so many feelz. Once again you continue to amaze.

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Dats when it gets really real. thanks for the words : )

[@mitsubishiki7606]

PLEASE CREATE A SPOTIFY ACCOUNT. I NEED TO LISTEN THIS THE WHOLE DAY

[@Ok-bl5yw]

Holy shit. Everytime I listen to this, I just.... really relax. I just seem to forget about my problems and fears, and just... feel better about myself. Thank you so much for this cover. Damn, hits me in the feels.

[@joshuabarger8422]

Yeah!! This game is a masterpiece, loving it so far! The music is so great to, excellent job Sam!

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Every day I spend not playing it hurts me

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

First off, the thumbnail of this video looks like an album cover. Second, this was extremely well done. It sounds as if it should have been a hidden track within the game itself, adding to the atmospheric soundtrack from the rest of the game. Well done.

[@jacobedwards9706]

Wow. I'm literally tearing up right now.

[@alemakhoul4899]

got the shivrs here, wicked arrange

[@ItchyNavel]

How could people dislike this? Even if you are unfamiliar with the game it is such a beautiful song.

[@viru3453]

He basically played two piano hand worth on an instrument which usually only plays one hands worth. Great job mate, it takes real talent to do that

[@rasmusmalmborg5979]

Totally amazing! I love how people can enjoy music and video games at the same time!

[@prodicalking]

I haven't found a better cover that gets all the little details. You have my sub, sir.

[@jayshayplays]

One word: breathtaking

[@hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh6898]

Great job. They really knocked it out of the park with this didn't they? I've been humming this like every day since the game came out.

[@AdivingShamWow]

You are so kind to give tabs. Love you brotha

[@2011RGM]

you made me tear up, thanks

[@KaeraNeko]

Even after all this time, this song still manages to make me emotional.

[@pranman123]

The emotions I felt while listening to this!

[@YouTubularBellEnd]

Are the three people who don't like this all called Ganon by any chance? This is superb. Brilliant playing Sam Griffin.

[@TheRockon11]

Your skill makes it seem like all of these songs were made to be performed on guitar. I wish I had a tenth of the talent you have. Keep up the awesome work man!

[@davidlara4170]

This made me cry , this is beautiful

[@bielcomas]

The Harmonics and the work that you put to make this is just amazing. Love this guy and love this game

[@AdrianKrimson]

You play beautifully, Sam! Love your vids.

[@Kronse2601]

Imma just say this once. In-credible. Turning a guitar into a whole orchestra without much layers missing. Holy shit...

[@franchoirigoyen4776]

Wow, the skill in that middle finger. You are awesome

[@freshbred8339]

This music is awesome, it always sends shivers down my spine

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Aiming for that lumbar vertebra

[@CoreyView]

That harmonic D at the end was really cool

[@OscarGomez-oe9de]

Bro!!!!!!! i dont even have words to describe this!!!!!! Subbed!

[@Kyonde]

Stop being so good at this!!! No really, don't stop!

[@shehzaanaabdulla3047]

The cut between the former and latter part of the song sounds much more natural when played on a sole guitar.

[@nbchowning]

This is amazing! Great job!

[@jackchiang4117]

So touching, almost make me cry😢

[@SunnyShuklathedoctor]

Ouch dude. This is so great, but that finger of yours... Man I could never. You're truly great.

[@itsamynamela3320]

i've never smashed a like button so fast in my life lol. i really like this rendition

[@mariahcrane2000]

best cover i've heard yet on the main theme! sooooooo glad this popped up in my suggestions, definitely checking out your other vids. this was honestly heaven to my ears. other ones i've heard seemed so off but this one is legit perfect.

[@luxveran9906]

Best rendition of this piece ever!

[@Emilsonlim]

I thought I played guitar for forty years till I saw this awesome dude !!!!!!!now that bonfire needs firewood there goes the Martin d45 lol

[@doc7090_YT]

Sad that I completed the game Replaying doesn’t have the same feel Listening to this brought back the same magic I hade before tho 😁

[@JLONess]

i cant believe a guitar can sound like this! awesome

[@peterho8339]

Chills! Great job dude!

[@tatekelly5500]

Beautiful, sort of made me tear up because I love botw and this is the best cover I’ve seen yet.

[@pjchamp5727]

Absolutely amazing

[@KoruXypress]

What I love about your covers is that it stays true to the original melody. :) Great job.

[@microfg4]

I was anticipating this cover more than the game itself!

[@dreamy_sparks]

Oh my-... that's so amazing...

[@klauschamberlain7600]

0:14 - 0:21 fellow guitarist, i can tell the melody and the "left hand" so to say part was difficult. Great job, everything i was hoping👌

[@michaelcherry5455]

This deserves so many more views

[@maximemailloux9680]

Man amazing cover. So touching and mooving. Bravo.

[@FumpyDuck]

Crazy how much it sounds like late evening animal crossing music when done acoustically

[@will.2155]

Yes

[@matthewodell8095]

[@OcelotDAD]

This is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard!

[@mastertoxophilite]
