Zelda: Main Theme (Piano Toccata)

[@nicolasscarfo1721]

This sounds like it could be in the credits of a Zelda game

[@thefife4847]

Agreed

[@gabrimori.6828]

but it have to sound at the end and it is shoing the things that you have done in the game

When the Piano Man is recognizing Zeldas 35th more than nintendo themselves. Great job on this btw.

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thx. Maybe they just don’t wanna steal the end of Mario 35 and Pokémon 25’s thunder. Here’s hoping we get those windwaker and twilight princess hd ports on switch soon.

Nintendo didn't do anything... But Erik, our hero, did it As the legends said: *"Fine, I'll do it myself"*

[@SlangFishMusic]

Well said!

[@oliver-04]

They made the theme

[@TechnicalParadox]

​@@oliver-04 didn't do anything for the 35th is his point

[@DJfractalflight]

0:58 That little phrase added right before the crescendo is such a delightfully cheeky move! I’m dumbfoundedly flabbergasted by your creative tides!

[@ErikCPianoman]

I can’t take full credit as I got the idea from the 25th anniversary orchestral version of the theme. Though it’s not just a carbon copy.

[@DJfractalflight]

@@ErikCPianoman Understood! Thanks for the background. The soup of sound you concoct, even if borrowing of other recipe ideas and components here and there, yet never fails to serve true originality, evoking planes of sonic savor that bear to we the listeners your indubitable signature-an impression which calls unto earthen souls to visit time and again the Erik C Piano Man soundscapes!

[@marlongerson1195]

It's one of the sound effects in Zelda.

[@CPOYtube-po7xp]

Ongelofelijk 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤

Ongelofelijk

[@mt2r-music]

The left hand and the percussion elements are breathtaking. This is definitely at least on the same level as your song of Storms Cover. I am definitely going to learn this one myself. Seriously great job. You are one of my big Inspirations together with Aqare and Animenz.

[@LucasKingPiano]

Amazing.

[@ErikCPianoman]

❤️

[@BUHFEYYYYY]

Agreed

[@craftmarne]

This arrangement really emphasize the beauty of Zelda’s main theme, it definitely was worth the wait. Thank you Erik for the extra efforts on the octaves :D !

[@ErikCPianoman]

Glad it was worth it! Octaves always get me.

[@marcosmp2222]

Bro it’s so nostalgic 🥲🥲

[@dexterhh2681]

I watched him practice this on his livestream and his ability still seems above the level of a human

[@mduftube]

It’s genius how the original song was very thin, just a few voices of 8 bit technology, and yet we all remember it with this kind of big symphonic sound. Absolutely brilliant composer

[@siver8325]

Pianists must be in possession of some kind of real life speed up button. Those movements are insane!

[@leonmather]

Can't wait! I have all your Zelda pieces on repeat pretty much all day :D

[@octolingo1892]

Your ability to hit so many octaves so quickly and so accurately is MINDBLOWING

Literally just made a grown man cry, I dont know if it's the nostalgia or not but I feel transported back to the few moments of my childhood that I ever actually enjoyed

[@AlannahFlint]

Maybe it's because I'm pregnant, but I'm crying. This is beautiful. It's probably not because I'm pregnant though, this is just so wonderfully well done. Very epic and nostalgic. Love it!

Why did the beginning of this give me “opening music to a musical” vibes?

[@skysunder9781]

I love the emotion you added to this. Gives such a heroic vibe to a hero that's rising.

[@nevikjames]

My pets were driving me up a wall this morning and this drop has completely melted that stress away. Well done.

[@JonathanMorrisMusic]

Epic! Those octaves must have taken a lot of practice. Liszt + Zelda = awesome. 🎹🎹

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thx man. Definitely took some practice.

Seriously the best arrangement for the main theme I have seen, i have watched all of your Zelda's covers and I really love them all. Keep up the great work man!

[@elliptical8754]

I have figured out why he makes it so hard. To make nice shapes of the notes afterwards. Anyways great job finding a way to make it familiar but different for me. Congrats on 200K

[@gixelz]

i was scared the rest of the piece couldn't follow such an epic buildup - i was wrong. very nice i like your little tweaks to melodies here and there. cool and noticable, but not totally changing the song. thanks for your work

[@n0aah_]

this is now my morning alarm waking up never felt this powerful

[@felixcor6895]

Amazing!! May I ask you something? Where can I get (sheet) music?

[@elmaizekinggames3465]

You did more for Zelda’s 35th anniversary than Nintendo

[@GuillermodelaGarza]

Your videos are always incredibly inspiring. I especially enjoy the versus videos because we get two takes on the same piece; double the inspiration! But I'm sure most subscribers agree, it's always almost impossible to decide who "wins" haha

[@lilliansworld3204]

I love how all the Zelda songs can be played in so many different arrangements and still sound epic ❤

[@cwesley2005]

This is on another level of extraordinary. It's hard for me to comprehend how someone can do this. Amazing
