Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Kass' Theme (Extended) Piano Waltz

[@diydragon8764]

Kass has to be one of my favorite characters in BOTW. Whenever I hear accordion off in the distance I get so happy

[@hanleal2001]

I remember when I first heard him playing his accordian and having I had no idea what it was. So just finding him randomly around Hyrule was the best!

[@RageQuitter-kb9ih]

Me too, I remember when I was just frolicking around trying to find something to do and then I would just hear his song in the distance and I would just be like “WHERE’S THE BIRB!?! WHERE IS HE!!!!????“. Great times :)

I love when he says: "Oh, hello there. I will stay behind, to gaze at the sun. The sun is a wondrous body. Like a magnificent father! If only I could be so grossly incandescent!" oops wrong wandering companion character

[@ditto9068]

I feel like whenever Erik needs to compose a variation he tries to find the best way to break a normal person's fingers with just a piano

[@Smaxx]

Dito! Especially if you've seen it on Accordion, like Mr.Accordion. Maybe it's just the specific arrangement of notes or the way you can play them (not really playing either instrument).

[@miguelanjo2776]

you can break any bone with a piano and enough elbow grease

Well, I feel there's hardly any (new!) memorable songs in the game anyway. Don't get me wrong, BotW was great, but let's see: How many iconic songs and tunes did Ocarina of Time provide us with? What about BotW?

I love Mipha’s theme, it’s so sad but so well played

[@Voidelle]

The original version of this theme always made me see like, an evening/candle-lit festival in a stone courtyard. Lots of dancing and laughing. This version feels like, a person who went to those festivals making music ABOUT going to them. Lovely

[@not_loopter9747]

It wasn’t with this but the first time I got to rito village I felt nostalgic

[@rion7088]

After the final clash between the last champion and the hylian princess with the demon king. They returned to rejoice for a new era of peace. The day was celebrated with all of hyrule’s races coming together and rejoicing for the last day of the calamitous century. The hylians, sheikah, zora, gorons, Gerudo, Rito. All dancing in praise for the princess and the champion. All of them were astounded by the sight of the two, as they were moving in such elegance around the ballroom. Such young heroes, such young lovers. I hope for them well, long life, a moment of peace, and that the light may illuminate their path.

[@stanstanstan2597]

Never understood why people thought Zelink was a thing in BOTW. Yes, they grew to accept each other and get along quite well. Zelda is quite excited to see him at the end of the game, yes, BUT I WOULD BE TOO, IF I JUST WATCHED MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND SUBJECTS DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH AND SPENT A CENTURY HANGING OUT WITH AN ANCIENT DEMON OF UNQUANTIFIABLE RAGE AND EVIL POWER.
