Zelda Ocarina of Time Title Theme on Piano - La voie placide du héros

Sorry it's been so long between posts -- thanks to all of you for not unsubscribing. I've had a busy semester teaching and preparing for my data meeting; if all goes well, within about a year I'll have my thesis defense, and fully live up to my username. :-)
Anyway, this is my second quasi-impressionist arrangement of themes from Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. The title is meant to translate as "The placid way of the hero" (but native francophones please correct me if this is incorrect or has the wrong connotations).
This would supplant the Fairy Flying arrangement as the first track of the Impressions of Zelda piano album. This not a finalized performance, but it was the best I could get it for now. Enjoy!
Original piece: • Video
Composer: Koji Kondo

3 years later and I still am waiting for sheets haha. I'd like to thank you personally for being such an inspiration to take up the piano, your arrangements are beautiful and hopefully some day I'll get to play them with such finesse

[@Luky75]

If you're still around I made sheet music for this. You can listen to my recording, and if you feel it's accurate enough you can download the sheets in the description: watch?v=XOdjpjd0HAQ

[@violetcandy86]

@@Luky75 dude I just got a notification for this and honestly, thank you so much! I can't wait to check out the sheets

[@docnanomusic]

@@Luky75 Nice transcription and performance! It’s quite accurate, especially impressive since it was done by ear. At least people have some sheets to refer to now.

[@RebeccaETripp]

This is one of the your loveliest, I think. :) So floaty and precise, like petals falling into water on a misty morning.

[@Stany]

C'est dingue ! Cette chaine mérite bien plus de vue !!!

[@ChannelleCooper]

wow. this is seriously so extremely gorgeous. I love zelda arrangements. I don't mind waiting for new videos when they turn out this good! :]

[@Verdegrand]

i always wondered what your username meant, and now i understand, all the best for your thesis. and i agree with the others, you have a really beautiful and unique style to your playing, i am looking forward to that cd.

[@justinhabler92]

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one that gets brought to tears by music this beautiful, music that brings you back to the incredible nostalgia of childhood and all of its innocence. Thank you so much for posting this, it's greatly appreciated by many.

[@LeggoMyEigo]

I'm just glad I subscribed to your channel. You have a singular style that you apply to pretty much all of your covers, and while I'd love to hear what would happen if you stretched your creative wings and branched off into a different genre, what you do is so magnificently executed that I never get tired of hearing it. Props.

[@zackweishaus7985]

Is this your own arrangement? This is unbelievable. I cannot believe it doesn't have more views and likes. I'm going to spread it around.

[@docnanomusic]

Yeah, I've been meaning to go back and record a higher-quality version with slightly smoother performance, but haven't gotten around to it. Thanks!

[@Derren82]

Doc Nano (The VGM Impressionist) Please do soon x.x

[@violetcandy86]

This cover of the song made my cry. Zelda has the most beautiful music, and this cover is as beautiful as the rest of the songs in these series. Thank you.

[@docnanomusic]

At some point I plan to go back and make sheets for a lot of these Zelda arrangements. I can't promise when, as certain things in my life make it extremely busy at the moment. Thanks for listening, though!

[@SgtPepper1200]

Sounds great! Loved it Doc

[@Arrow9100kj]

What a charming little arrangement Alex ^o^! Anytime I hear this I can vividly remember the moment when I first heard the piece as a little non-musician boy. I dunno if I was stunned by the serenity of Link horseback riding through the night or by the elegance of this piece - I still believe its a combination of the two though =)!

[@Mawhaw8]

I think my life will be incomplete until I have the sheet music for this. Absolutely Beautiful.

[@MrKris169]

This is my favorite cover of this song. Such a beautiful rendition, and it creates a wonderful calm atmosphere.

[@EZXSniperZzz]

I swear, if you made an album of all your covers and original pieces, I would buy it.

[@jeremyngyd]

Wow. Amazing as usual, I really enjoyed this, and I absolutely can't wait for the album :) And I'm equally amazed that you can balance writing such beautiful music alongside writing a thesis haha, I need to learn time management like this.

[@daigoro789]

wow - this was beautiful beyond words! i'm so excited for this project - once complete, it will be a treasure among VGM arrangements on youtube or anywhere else! can't wait for the finished version - i would LOOOVE to cover this arrangement!

[@2697jonny]

Absolutely miraculous in every way shape and form. It's by far the most beautiful thing I've ever heard! I've love this song since I was a wee little lad, and this just amplified my love for it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your brilliance! You must record it or create sheet music!!!! It would be a crime if you forgot about this! It's fantastic!

[@theseacowdiaries]

This is really, really gorgeous. You're amazing, really!

[@starfire139]

This was absolutely beautiful. TTATT

[@Hyp3rN3rd]

Good luck on your thesis ;3 My mom IS doing a thesis and HAS BEEN doing one for 7 years :3 It's a REALLY hard process to go through, so all the best to you Dr. Nano ;P And the arrangement was beautiful, it made me feel so "at peace" :) And I COMPLETELY agree with Lukkysama about playing this to children ;) You've turned this into a beautiful lullaby :)

[@daigoro789]

@docnanomusic YES!!! man, that would be amazing!

[@_KITE]

the transition at 1:30 is the neatest part, basically using that broken chord

[@Gurgagurga]

100th like :D There are no words to describe how absolutely beautiful this arrangement is.

[@soocool78]

@docnanomusic thanks for the suggestion it was superb...and sorry to throw another suggestion...but i hope this project is going to have Song of Storms/ Windmill hut in it....i search far and wide for a truly magical version of this piece, and while i enjoy many of the covers, i dont think anyone has nailed it yet...and i think you could *fingers crossed* (btw this comment implies that i love everything you do and keep up the good work and blah blah blah :D)

[@irwatchvids]

ahhh, so peaceful, so beautiful :)

[@katiegoddard89]

oh my jesus. this is beautiful.

[@docnanomusic]

@devilish21885 Well, I wasn't planning on a link yet since it's not completely finished. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marcosmancini7895]

OMG so beautiful,one of the most beautiful songs ever!! And the game too =) So nostalgic so many memories... Lets ride.

[@MsDudin]

You are my hero.

[@Arrow9100kj]

Great job Doc!!!

[@apollinewilhelem7564]

Your cover is really beautiful. The original song is already beautiful, but this cover is awesome.

[@bundo-san]

This is amazing...

[@cokaneds]

Wow nice ='). I wish I could play piano like that. You're a classical genius. And with Zelda WOW

[@MilesEques]

Heh. I don't even remember subscribing, but this is very pretty. It works very well.

[@Mzourix3]

It's beautiful

[@TrillianOnPiano]

Très bon! :)

[@seibpa]

dreamy.

[@seibpa]

i'm floating.

[@docnanomusic]

@77katsumoto Thanks! No inconvenience. My thesis really has two aims: one involves tracking the behavior of molecular robots over nanometer scales, and the other is investigating whether a particular enzyme made of RNA can fold into slightly different shapes that all function in pretty much the same way (this is in contrast to the traditional idea that all enzymes have a single functional shape they fold into).

[@trineor]

It's just... waow ! I already found so much of Ravel in your arrangement of Hyrule Castle Town Market ; here, it's more like Debussy inhabiting you, and it's simply wonderful. I would be so curious to hear what you would do with Gerudo Valley or Zora Domain ! ^^ You should definitely record a CD ! :p

[@Nijipoop]

Beautifull

[@docnanomusic]

@danielvutran Keep in mind that Kyle and many others post their videos on a weekly basis and they STILL come up with great arrangements played with awesome technique. They definitely deserve the views they get!

[@trineor]

C'est juste... waow ! Il y avait déjà tellement de Ravel dans votre transcription de la place du marché d'Hyrule ; cette fois-ci, ça rappelle plutôt Debussy et c'est toujours aussi merveilleux. Je serais tellement curieux d'entendre ce que vous feriez avec la Vallée Gerudo ou le domaine Zora ! ^^ Vous devriez vraiment enregistrer un CD ! :p

[@trineor]

Petite "reprise", tout en hommage. =) À prendre comme un signe d'admiration ! Près d'un lac au milieu de la nuit - Ocarina of time, title theme (transcription pour piano)

[@docnanomusic]

@daigoro789 Thanks! I'll try to have sheets for all the pieces when the project's finished!

[@danielvutran]

@docnanomusic ya true but, this man..... this was smth else.

[@docnanomusic]

@soocool78 Haha I hadn't made that connection but I see where you're coming from. Thanks for the suggestion; I'll think about covering Via Purifico. Not too familiar with it, but I think Verdegrand posted a nice cover a while back.

[@Luky75]

If I have children, I'll play that when they go to sleep. A manly tear was shed. If you provide sheets you'll make a lot of people happy. That's beautiful ! Also, I don't understand: "if all goes well, within about a year I'll have my thesis defense, and fully live up to my username. :-) " Can you explain?

[@arzulo]

Beautiful! This is absolutely wonderful. Any idea if you're going to end up with sheet music like you do with your others? It is greatly appreciated :)

[@docnanomusic]

@soocool78 Great suggestion, I'll definitely keep it in mind. :-)

[@docnanomusic]

@8Amaterasu8 Thanks, and good luck to you as well!

[@docnanomusic]

@Lukkysama Thanks, nice to get wishes of luck from Lukkysama ;-)

[@devilish21885]

Defintely has the same ethereal feel as Dancing Leaves, very immersive. Are you not providing a link this time doc?

[@TobyEllisSongwriter]

genius.

[@soocool78]

0:18 sounds like its gonna laucnh into somehwere over the rainbow :D beautiful cover, could i make the suggestion that you cover Via Purifico [FFX AKA path of repentence]...it's already in the style of how you play, so i'd be curious how you'd put your own twist on it..

[@Hakavidplz23]

If possible could you please provide sheet music for this piece? This is a very beautiful arrangement and I would love to learn how to play it.

[@danielvutran]

this... is beautiful......... lol........

[@Luky75]

@docnanomusic Oh, I get it now, thanks for explaining. I'm French, I didn't understand at first ^^" Good Luck !

[@docnanomusic]

@Lukkysama I'm a Ph.D. student in chemistry (studying nanotechnology, among other things), and if all goes well I'll have my doctoral degree in about a year. So, at that point I'll really be "Doc Nano."

[@blue-mm1pd]

Yes

[@RoseBleueDuRosierSec]

Wow

[@phendan]

I agree with everyone here. This is an amazing rendition, beautifully performed. If I may ask, how would you feel about this being used as background music (with proper credit of course)?

[@docnanomusic]

Sure, thanks for asking! If you'd like, I could also send you a more polished recording of the arrangement.

[@phendan]

Awesome, thank you very much! And sure! I was planning on using the Soundcloud version. If that's not the one you mean perhaps you could PM me the link?

[@MilesEques]

1:29 I hear a little bit of Midna's theme there. Is that intentional?

[@Hyp3rN3rd]

Hey doc! You a doc, yet? ;) How's the Ph.D. coming?

[@docnanomusic]

@danielvutran Hello?? Fall asleep at the keyboard??

[@danielvutran]

😇

[@danielvutran]

still

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

Very Godowsky/Debussy
