@yungexileee you know, I love this song, but the overuse of the word "now" in the chorus throws me every time. I always thought it should be "Well I don't mean, to alarm you, but those toys are far to much for you. I shall take back, what is mine so there's one thing left to do now" cause the now now now just grates on me.
Seven years later and Nate is STILL the only singer to successfully use the melody of Gerudo Valley in something other than a rap. Hes always had mad talent and THAT'S why every new album is so highly anticipated. Its going to be a BOP
Love how they used this song again for this ganondorf, so creative. When Zelda had doubt, link gave her COURAGE, when link was lost in memories, she gave him WISDOM, and when they had to face ganondorf a second time, they gave each other POWER
Not really. They gave eachother motivation, Zelda didn't really give him wisdom, just told him what to do, and Link didn't give her courage, she did that herself. If anything, the virtues are different. Ganon still launches tactical, militaristic attacks during the Calamity 3ven though he's "A mindless beast". Zelda makes a courageous sacrifice in both games. And Link's power is emphasized in BotW, AoC, and TotK more than any other Zelda games.
Nate: “Yo, we got fancy Ganondorf scenes now!? With Matt Mercer as his VA!?? Time to use that old but still absolutely BOPPIN’ Ganondorf song I made and turn it into an AMV!” 10/10. I love it. 🤣💕 What a king.
This was definitely a song that came to mind when the trailer for TotK first came out. Glad to see this came back as a beautiful AMV and can't wait for the new song!
Honestly, this and Hands of a Thief are my top two favorite songs that have ever been made. Hands of a Theif got me back into listening to music as a whole and drawing, while Evil King just gives me goosebumps listening to it. And the whole album itself gives you a new perspective with OoT. Can't wait for the next Zelda song you make!
Even though there are so many parts in the song that would fit greatly with cutscenes from the one of the main quests it's incredible how this was put together with no spoilers for the game, that's real talent there 👏👏👏
I'm so excited for the new song omg!! This zelda album is one of my favorite albums ever, so the fact that we're getting something akin to it with this new song makes me so happy!!
What I like about this song is how ganondorf's lament juxtaposes with Link's life; He says that Link could never know what its like to be alone, but that's how Link grew up, as an outsider amongst his "people" in the kokiri.
So... I loved this song already, but having a TotK AMV and voice lines to go with it gave me chills that I hadn't gotten from hearing this song the first time through. Well done, guys!
Nate, this gave me goosebumps. I was so worried you would stop doing songs like this. I have listened since the Gwen Stacey song, you are legit my favorite artist. Thank you!
He said he was done making fandom songs and wanted to focus on original music (in which he has a new album coming out later this year) but ig he couldn't help himself make one more Zelda song 😅
@ethanchamberlain2959 OH! I was just saying in general. My bad! I must of missed that announcement somewhere. I am now going to definitely keep an eye out for it. Lol
I'm like honestely speechless. As I'm writing this I'm still speechless. That was like.. I can't speak or say anything cause that caused me 2 listen to the Songs of Time. Nate u r truly amazing, ncredible man and a Kick Ass singer. I'd honestly never get enough of u cause r truly my #1 UA-camr and #1 artist. Ur songs get me through sooo much u don't even know. So thank u 4 sticking around more and keep making those sick ass songs cause U r 1 hell of a guy.
Super awesome song! I found it interesting that Gerudo Valley's leitmotif was used for the chorus of the song. Also, I didn't realize this was a new music video for an existing song. But yeah, I really enjoyed it, since this is the first time I've heard the song. Great work from you and Shawn.
This is so good, legit was listening to this song along with the rest of the Songs of Time album leading up to Tears of the Kingdom's release, so this is just too perfect to me ngl❤
The Zelda soundtrack is such a banger to listen to. This was probably my favorite song from the tracks, glad to see it being brought back in such a way!
HOLY SHIT THIS SONG!!!! I've been working on my own amv for months because it's one that's ALWAYS stuck with me. I'm so happy for this special "remix" for TotK and I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEW SONG!
I didn't even know about pre-saving before but bro I did it so fast! I haven't been this hyped over a single song in years!! Love the voice lines between lyrics btw. Great touch
It’s an old song. Meant for OOT Ganondorf, reused for TOTK with some lyrics (probably from Link and of TOTK Ganondorf in his cutscene before the beginning of the fight) but it suits TOTK ganondorf so well !
"AND NOW I NEED MA- I NEED MA ROOM TO FLYY 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥" While the fucking castle was indeed flying... That part was so good my soul got cracked in half 💀🔥🔥🔥
my little brother was evil the king 👑 m4+ RIP. SauRy is here. Lord of the rings. Lord of hell is this seriously the best time ever 😭. I won the battle of middle earth with Orcs and nazguls.
I remember back when "Hoenn's out" was the hit new song from nate. I played that on repeat as I was so hyped for ORAS. Ive been on this hype train for so many years, and I wont get off now!
Not only is the music fantastic, but the visuals and visual effects in the video are also impressive. I was truly immersed in this colorful music experience.
It was written for ganon, just not this ganon, I think it was for the one of ocarina of time. Also, there are new quotes from the game that werent in the original.
Agreed. While TOTK isent a bad game…it’s not as great as botw. I feel it should’ve either been a switch 2 game or something else had to change. It lagged and the game froze during the last cutscene for me after I beat Dragon Gankn
When I made a tumblr account and ended up joining the amassed Zelda community on there I quickly found out the Songs Of Time are heralded almost as a paragon of the fandom which was quite interesting (I say as if I don't foam at the mouth over these storylines and attached to Nathans music since childhood because of them)
My theory : The 2 musics about ganondorf talk a bit of demise "My hate...never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end! I will rise again!" were demise's last words, you can find those in the songs And when he say "Sweep over hyrule, eliminate this kingdom and all her allies" why "her" ? Zelda is a bit off the picture, for him the greatest menace is rauru and he barely acknowledge Zelda. So I think it is demise consciouness talking about Hylia through ganondorf. If it is really thinked like that, the song is even more deep.
Tbh I have the album still playing to this day so it's nice ti see a throwback. Stopped listening all day everyday about 4 years ago so is nice tha you uploaded something that made me click in ❤
Chills Nate. Love your work. Wish it was a Gannondorf complation amv of his journey and the final lines "You'll never be my king" had all of them in the face reveal moments in their games
Zelda Anime OP Idea: This would play as the opening song, but rather than focusing entirely on Ganondorf, it'd also focus on the new incarnations of Zelda and Link. Though "same old boy" would have an image of Dark Link, who'd basically be the Ghirahim of this story idea, and one of the few who is aware of the cycle. Link's backstory portrayed in the op: Running as a child from a monster of some kind, pulling the Master Sword from its pedestal in desperation, and being hauled away by knights. "I was young, I had always known" "The barren desert that I roam" Zelda in an open but empty area "You could never understand how it feels to be alone" Link in a claustrophobic armory, surrounded only by weapons, mounted as if she herself was one of them.
PRE-SAVE NATE'S NEW ALBUM ► ffm.to/toletgo
Is the original version of this still around?
Good to see you ARE giving credit to the author
I love how you found a way to resuse a song from years ago into something new and it still work perfectly.
Just like the legend of Zelda fantries
@@somethingcraft3148*Franchise
"My song will cycle and will soon be born anew"
@yungexileee you know, I love this song, but the overuse of the word "now" in the chorus throws me every time. I always thought it should be "Well I don't mean, to alarm you, but those toys are far to much for you. I shall take back, what is mine so there's one thing left to do now" cause the now now now just grates on me.
Actually, I prefer the original; this doesn't quite fit lorewise. The Ganondorf in TOTK doesn't have the triforce, nor does he seek it.
Seven years later and Nate is STILL the only singer to successfully use the melody of Gerudo Valley in something other than a rap. Hes always had mad talent and THAT'S why every new album is so highly anticipated. Its going to be a BOP
Holy shit, now that you mention it, I can definitely hear it in the background
@Drengr8 the whole chorus he sings is to the tune of gerudo valley as well, it's very impressive since the melody is known for being quick paced!
didn't MOI do a cover of it
@@dabestorkposta this ain't bout them this is about Mr. Sharp
Well i think there was another do did an rock version which both versions of it are still on here
Yesss this song played in my head the first time I saw Ganondorf in the trailer 🥰 Especially the “My hate will cycle and will soon be born anew” line
Love how they used this song again for this ganondorf, so creative. When Zelda had doubt, link gave her COURAGE, when link was lost in memories, she gave him WISDOM, and when they had to face ganondorf a second time, they gave each other POWER

And Link's power is emphasized in BotW, AoC, and TotK more than any other Zelda games.
Years later this is still my favorite Zelda song of yours ong
Love how this song still goes with this ganondorf
@@calamity3330yeah cause this is a different version of the story of Ocarina of time.
Oh my god I can’t believe my favorite unintentional Dio Brando theme song got a reimagining
Nate: “Yo, we got fancy Ganondorf scenes now!? With Matt Mercer as his VA!?? Time to use that old but still absolutely BOPPIN’ Ganondorf song I made and turn it into an AMV!”
10/10. I love it. 🤣💕 What a king.
PRE SAVE THE NEW ZELDA SONG - ffm.to/nwtbriseup
I thought Nate was taking a break from fandom songs? I'll happily take new music but I don't want him to be making this if he doesn't want to
@@roderickbawcuttit’s been 9 months dude. *if* he decides to come back I think that’s a pretty valid break haha
can you make an FULL ENGLISH Cover of Saku no Nie form sacrificial princess and the king of beasts please op
Sing more Overlord
@@hiiamelecktro4985 I agree. It's just that Nate made it seem like the break would be multiple years in the "it's time to move on" video
I’VE WANTED A VIDEO LIKE THIS FOR THIS SONG SINCE THE GAME DROPPED THIS GOES UNBELIEVABLY HARD
This was definitely a song that came to mind when the trailer for TotK first came out. Glad to see this came back as a beautiful AMV and can't wait for the new song!
I've never gotten tired of this song and Drowning. Both are my top favorites from your Zelda album. Love what you do. Wishing you all the best
I love the rhythm, it reminds of "Gerudo Valley". Keep making these wonderful songs
That's what it was based on!
I've loved this song for years but holy shit, ganondorf's voice lines added to it put it to a whole new level 😍
My favourite of the legend of Zelda songs, so glad to see it getting more love
Bro an old song like this with the modern Zelda games fits so hard I actually don't know how to describe the nostalgia and happiness in my heart.
Honestly, this and Hands of a Thief are my top two favorite songs that have ever been made. Hands of a Theif got me back into listening to music as a whole and drawing, while Evil King just gives me goosebumps listening to it. And the whole album itself gives you a new perspective with OoT. Can't wait for the next Zelda song you make!
God it’s been years since I heard this song - so iconic ❤
It's wild that it really fits with ToTK.
@@yungexileee literally the first time I heard it, it blew my mind that the Gerudo Valley was incorporated so well into the song
As soon as I realized that he used Gerudo Valley and mixed it into the perfect song for Ganondorf just makes this song all the more better
Even though there are so many parts in the song that would fit greatly with cutscenes from the one of the main quests it's incredible how this was put together with no spoilers for the game, that's real talent there 👏👏👏
I'm so excited for the new song omg!! This zelda album is one of my favorite albums ever, so the fact that we're getting something akin to it with this new song makes me so happy!!
This has always been one of my favorites from you and its so amazing how much the majority of it fits with TOTK.
What I like about this song is how ganondorf's lament juxtaposes with Link's life; He says that Link could never know what its like to be alone, but that's how Link grew up, as an outsider amongst his "people" in the kokiri.
So... I loved this song already, but having a TotK AMV and voice lines to go with it gave me chills that I hadn't gotten from hearing this song the first time through. Well done, guys!
This is the version I'm listening to from now on. I'm a sucker for spoken dialogue in the middle of a song
I could listen to this song a hundred times ❤ it never gets old
Nate, this gave me goosebumps. I was so worried you would stop doing songs like this. I have listened since the Gwen Stacey song, you are legit my favorite artist. Thank you!
He said he was done making fandom songs and wanted to focus on original music (in which he has a new album coming out later this year) but ig he couldn't help himself make one more Zelda song 😅
Just to clarify this song was made YEARS ago, this is a reimagined music video for the new game. 😁
@@JeylinRocksOut was that directed at me? Cuz I know that but he's announced a new Zelda song that releases on Monday which is what I was referring to
@ethanchamberlain2959 OH! I was just saying in general. My bad! I must of missed that announcement somewhere. I am now going to definitely keep an eye out for it. Lol
@@JeylinRocksOut I know I was just so excited for the new one this is the first I saw of it being announced
Loved this song when it first came out, and honestly I love it even more with this video. It really does fit ToTK to a tee
I'm like honestely speechless. As I'm writing this I'm still speechless. That was like.. I can't speak or say anything cause that caused me 2 listen to the Songs of Time. Nate u r truly amazing, ncredible man and a Kick Ass singer. I'd honestly never get enough of u cause r truly my #1 UA-camr and #1 artist. Ur songs get me through sooo much u don't even know. So thank u 4 sticking around more and keep making those sick ass songs cause U r 1 hell of a guy.
Super awesome song! I found it interesting that Gerudo Valley's leitmotif was used for the chorus of the song. Also, I didn't realize this was a new music video for an existing song. But yeah, I really enjoyed it, since this is the first time I've heard the song. Great work from you and Shawn.
I mean ganondorf is a gerudo
Loved it! The game is awesome, and this song is awesome too!! Thanks for the music!! It always makes me happy with all these covers and music❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is so good, legit was listening to this song along with the rest of the Songs of Time album leading up to Tears of the Kingdom's release, so this is just too perfect to me ngl❤
2:20-2:30 has no reason hitting so hard with the visual and beat, like it fits too well
The Zelda soundtrack is such a banger to listen to. This was probably my favorite song from the tracks, glad to see it being brought back in such a way!
HUGE W
can't wait Nate! Your Zelda songs are always amazing!
THIS VIDEO HITS SO HARD WITH A CLASSIC TRACK!
Now i want another hyrule Warrios it would be awesome with this Ganondorf maybe some more Cultist and other demon lords
HOLY SHIT THIS SONG!!!! I've been working on my own amv for months because it's one that's ALWAYS stuck with me. I'm so happy for this special "remix" for TotK and I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEW SONG!
I love this song so much, I'm now going to listen to this on repeat while playing Tears of the Kingdom.
This works perfectly for tears of the kingdom
This will always be a banger, looking forward to a new Nate song, really missed him
No matter how many times I listen to it this song always SLAPS
Ganon has never gone so hard.
I didn't even know about pre-saving before but bro I did it so fast! I haven't been this hyped over a single song in years!!
Love the voice lines between lyrics btw. Great touch
1:01
The perfect timing of the eye flash and the guitar mixing with the unleash of Ganondorf's gloom is just *chef's kiss*
Matthew Mercer was the right voice actor for the King of Evil.
i love ganondorfs voice in this!
Just now finding this gem (a crime to be so late I know) and the OoT Ganondorf references are PEAK.
It’s an old song. Meant for OOT Ganondorf, reused for TOTK with some lyrics (probably from Link and of TOTK Ganondorf in his cutscene before the beginning of the fight) but it suits TOTK ganondorf so well !
It's only fitting that this song should be brought back to life the perfect representation of Ganon forever returning
Dang, this King sure is Evil
"AND NOW I NEED MA- I NEED MA ROOM TO FLYY 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥" While the fucking castle was indeed flying... That part was so good my soul got cracked in half 💀🔥🔥🔥
my little brother was evil the king 👑 m4+ RIP.
SauRy is here. Lord of the rings. Lord of hell is this seriously the best time ever 😭. I won the battle of middle earth with Orcs and nazguls.
I remember back when "Hoenn's out" was the hit new song from nate. I played that on repeat as I was so hyped for ORAS. Ive been on this hype train for so many years, and I wont get off now!
Who else wondered while playing breath of the wild how a fight with the version of ganon flying around the castle would be like?
Not only is the music fantastic, but the visuals and visual effects in the video are also impressive. I was truly immersed in this colorful music experience.
I was listening to this recently! I went back to my music app and found it!
After reading the comments and finding out that this song wasn't written for ganon i am so surprised it fits his character so well
It was written for ganon, just not this ganon, I think it was for the one of ocarina of time. Also, there are new quotes from the game that werent in the original.
@tiagocf1208 oh thx for info that makes more sense
This song shows off more of Ganondorf's character than all of TOTK
Agreed. While TOTK isent a bad game…it’s not as great as botw. I feel it should’ve either been a switch 2 game or something else had to change. It lagged and the game froze during the last cutscene for me after I beat Dragon Gankn
This hits so hard. Such a great song.
Such a good song. Gonna have to shove this in a favorites list to sing along with.
When I made a tumblr account and ended up joining the amassed Zelda community on there I quickly found out the Songs Of Time are heralded almost as a paragon of the fandom which was quite interesting (I say as if I don't foam at the mouth over these storylines and attached to Nathans music since childhood because of them)
Thanks for this.

If it is really thinked like that, the song is even more deep.
This really took me back. What a legend
I could definitely have this as Ganondorf Tribute in my Zelda Gacha Series
It fits so good the scenes with the song 🤟
What a perfect song to go to this new game!!! Nate, you never cease to amaze.
I love that I can hear Gerudo Valley in the rhythm of this song!
I love this song, you rockin it!!!
Love this song
Love what you did with the track! This is one of my all time faves from you!
I forgot that Matt Mercer speaks Ganandorf and was wondering why he suddenly spoke up xD
Dang this is awesome love you music
Okay but the inclusion of botw clips makes me SO DAMN HAPPY! Two different clips of Zelda staring down Ganondorf’s power side by side. Truly amazing
Clever use of the things ganondorf says throught the games and make a lyrics out of it
Dude, this song brought so much nostalgia. So good!
I didn't know I needed this until now😍
Wait, did you hide the Gerudo Valley theme in the chorus?!!! My dude!!!
Can not stop listening to this song!!
a new video game song by nate , man 2023 is turning out to be a truly awesome year.
The memories are flashing back 🤧🤟🏻
YESSSSSSSSSS
NATHAN'S SONGS BEING REUSED AND WE LOVE IT. ESPECIALLY WITH GANON AW GAWD love it
Tbh I have the album still playing to this day so it's nice ti see a throwback. Stopped listening all day everyday about 4 years ago so is nice tha you uploaded something that made me click in ❤
I have chills.
Remains one of my fav song to this day
I’ve been a big fan of your work for years, the nostalgia trip this took me on was AMAZING! Love this version so so much
I love this song and the fact that you went with the gerudo dessert theme
Absolute banger coming back for a vengeance.
YEEEEEES! Time For awesome tunes😊😊😊😊
Two words, two words…
FUCKING LIT!!!!
I LOVE this song
"Pre-save link in the description"
Link can save his own damn self, he's had plenty of practice.
I was HOPING it was this song!!!! I'm so thrilled!
As long as zelda and link are around .........ganon will never be king.
That’s always a given
Love this album so much.
This is so beautifully done!
Chills Nate. Love your work. Wish it was a Gannondorf complation amv of his journey and the final lines "You'll never be my king" had all of them in the face reveal moments in their games

Feels good to hear this again
huge fan, love your work! keep it going
