Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom / Breath of the Wild 2 Orchestral Main Theme [E3 2021 Trailer]

[@jindraws]

Plot twist: This is actually the music that plays during the credit scenes that Tim got to make in secret & he gets to upload it because we won’t figure that out until we finish the game anyways.

Chances are just about 0 for sure. Plenty of talent that 1. Lives in the Kyoto region 2. Knows folks inside Nintendo 3. Speak Japanese and 4. Are much more talented than I am. The best I can hope for is do a Chad Yorke/Darren Radtke, David Wise, James Phillipsen or Grant Kirkhope and work with a Western partner studio :P

Excellent work! Random, but a short part at 1:56 reminded me of Twilight Princess' main motif/Hyrule field, but I'm probably just overanalyzing xD Either way, love the whole composition

[@demantim]

Yeah I put some traditional Zelda motifs in there at that part :) .

[@joerikockelberg]

There is also an OoT hyrule field reference a bit later..

[@dzseneraloficcial]

Yes, at maybe 1:56 or 1:57 you get like 3 notes of the Hyrule field/ Midna’s Lament in there. Very short but very distinct

Hiiii, Tim De Man (hopefully) I am writing this because I really want to put this magnificent arrangement in my Spotify playlist. If you do read this which hopefully you might, please take into consideration of this request of mine. This soundtrack is without a doubt my favourite soundtrack from the Zelda franchise which is saying something as they are known for having a vast array of beautiful songs. However, your arrangement of this soundtrack is just jaw dropping so it is a must for it to be part of my daily life through Spotify, somewhat sounds like an advertisement for Spotify at this point but alas it is my main app to use to listen to music . Thank you so much for taking your time to read this. This is just plead for this spectacular arrangement to be put on Spotify. Thank you once but this time for making this arrangement, simply put, it is really the best.

[@ochibrochi]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo straight up announced that Tim was the official composer this whole time 🤯!!

[@demantim]

... ;) tbh i would be grateful if a nice indie dev would pick me up

[@dawalkn]

@@demantim How much would you charge for a piece like this? (If you don't mind me asking)

[@demantim]

@@dawalkn Hard to say, kinda depends on what the use case is. Composers often calculate rates based on minutes of complete music, and rates go from anywhere between nothing-thousands per minute of music :P . €250 per minute of completed music is a good starting point for me usually.

@@demantim Fair enough, thanks for the insight. If I find any indie devs, I'll send them your way!

[@dennisdesormier6886]

This speculation is totally solid - and it also sounds really good. I like how you built up the 3-note motif (the jump up a fifth to a repeated note) in the opening minute in a variety of ways - starting with solo piano (totally appropriate as a bridge from Breath of the Wild), also leaving space between phrases and at a slower tempo. Your "performance" of the pre-recorded stuff sounds quite similar to the original. No backwards voices though? LOL, just kidding - that would be essentially impossible to mimic. It's hard to figure out how they were made exactly! Very nice overall! Super impressive.

[@thefrubblewarrior4678]

@@demantim oh, sorry about that, but what is your reasoning? I know this thing is rather small, but that makes me ask why it was changed.

[@demantim]

@@thefrubblewarrior4678 I have the feeling the trailer connects two similar sounding bits that will turn out to be separated by more material in the full version of the song. That's why I tried to add that middle part here, where the higher and lower version of the melody both get a full round instead of a kinda weird half round. I could of course be wrong. Either way we'll hopefully find out this year!
