    A lot of extra time went into this one. I wanted to make sure to do this legendary theme justice. So if you appreciate these more in depth arrangements be sure to share it with all your Zelda loving friends. And thanks for tuning in!
    Edit: Be sure to check out my opponent's version of this theme as well: ua-cam.com/video/Lhli_cPlsEo/v-deo.html

    So well composed for piano!! A lot of people try to play gerudo valley on piano the way it was originally composed and it doesn’t sound as good because it’s meant to be played on guitar. This was MADE to be played on piano and it still fits the gerudo vibe. So grand an epic!!!

    There's something about the melodies plus the animation/hand movements which are just fascinating to him. When I showed this one in particular to him, he pinched his fingers together and started tapping the screen, imitating your hands!! Maybe one day he will play like you, as well 😉

    You will never stop surprising me! You're a legend!
    The interpretation of the piece and the way the arrangement was created is genius. You're so damn creative!!
    Like the slow begining and then the melody. And then bam! The theme comes in with a really nice bass, repeated chords with also (and of course) arpeggios.
    Also can we talk about the left hand and the repeated notes for a second? Like what the..???
    And the end, (lmao) the Gerudo Valley theme becoming more an more powerful with this magnificent conclusion with the Main Zelda theme! I can only say yes!!!!Amazing!!!
    We can also talk about the choice of the orange and red colors for synthesia which can remind us of a certain cayon but that's just a little detail at this point... :p
    Just Bravo!

  • @technicallygood4620
    @technicallygood4620 4 роки тому +12

    I think this would work really well in an animated short from Ganondorf's point of view. It could start with him, the only male, made de facto king, ruling over a despairing, dying people. It could show him amassing both magical and physical power, stealing and fighting various desert beasts to earn his place as a heroic king for the Gerudo, and then the ending part where the main overworld theme comes in could be where it catches up with Ocarina of Time and we see Link about to fight Ganon. I really like when I hear a cover and I can almost visualize a story to go with it. Amazing job!

    This song has the Ganondorf Seal of Approval™.
    Ah, reminds me of better times.
    I remember when I was a boy, I had a Hydromelon plant in my backyard. I tended to it every day since I turned... 4? Ah... me and that Hydromelon grew up together. When it was sick, I would water it constantly, and provide it with shade from a leaf from one of the palm leaves. When I was sick, I would go out there and cuddle with it till I felt better. I imagined it doing magic to make me feel better.
    When I became King of Hyrule, I enchanted it to never die. I wanted it to outlast me, as a symbol of my gratitude for the hard times it got me through.
    When I was defeated by the Hero in Ocarina of Time, I attempted to collapse my castle on him. But another part of my magic was used to enchant the Hydromelon to hide behind the throne of whoever the leader of the Gerudo was at that time, to symbolize how the Gerudo lived in Hyrule shadow.
    That's why you can find that Hydromelon behind Riju's throne. If I recall, some have picked it's Hydromelon and some have cut the vines. But, like my desire to rule Hyrule, it always comes back.
    Always...

    UN. BE. LIEVABLE. Erik. I DON'T THINK THAT YOU COULD'VE DONE THE SONG ANY BETTER JUSTICE! You really put a lot of effort into this. Koji Kondo's career has been turned on its head. I'm speechless at how well this was put together. Keep up this PHENOMENAL work, my friend.

    If this arrangement was a classic piano song, it'd be one of the most hard to play. You actually did it and that's so damn awesome

    • @ZuduOoT

      fantastic and impressive arrangement. but it's naive to say it's comparable to among the hardest classical songs. I could point to endless ridiculous pieces ua-cam.com/video/ka2lrfp5C-g/v-deo.htmlm3s

    2:08 though less power instrumentally, nostalgically or whatever you want to call it delivers a stronger blow to the feels that is my musical receptor. Way too drunk to comment on a UA-cam comment section, bit what the hell, right?

    This is amazing, I love how the deep tone of the piano makes it sound like a bass roughly playing. It just brings the entire song together. Nice work!

    The improvisations are fantastic, but much of the spirit of the original is lost. Also, some parts should have been more aggressive. Ultimately, sounds like an expert pianist playing a piece to a game they never played.

  • @haveachocobar
    @haveachocobar 4 роки тому +1

    What you do with your left hand at about 1:16 is so smooth it reminds me slightly of a drummer keeping a rhythm with unorthodox strokes, and I'm genuinely fascinated.

      literally me, i purchased the sheet music for this a MONTH ago and i still only have the first page memorized because i’m only on my fourth year of piano and do NOT have this technique or skill. i didn’t even know this key existed!! F-sharp minor?? also reading sheet music gives me a headache so i’ll definitely have to wait a few years before playing this

    No for real if you practice this a lot eventually you will be able to play it and it will make you better at piano for sure.

    • @Anatiks69

      @jebi ga It is worth it for sure piano is a really good way to release stress and also it's fun. You need to start easy and with songs you like. work your way up to harder songs and impress people with your skills. You don't have to be perfect or anything as long as you have fun

    • @jordanbourne3984
      @jordanbourne3984 4 роки тому +2

      @jebi ga Of course it's still worth it. I'm 30 and started a few months ago and can already play a couple of the simpler songs that I really like (road to zanarkand + nuvole bianche) Imagine if you start now, you'll have 11 years of piano by the time you reach my age! Just be consistent with it and you'll see very rapid improvement

    Imagine how long it must take to play this song good. At my current level, I'd say it would take me about a month practicing everyday to at least know what to play. Then another month or so to get accuracy. My hands would probably fall off.
