Arrangement By: ClefferNotes
Here is an orchestration I created of the amazing new theme which appears in the Champions Ballad DLC pack from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I decided to give the theme a light waltz style and then end it with a huge orchestral section, and this is how it turned out! This was all done by ear and interpretation so apologies for any wrong notes.

Thank you all very much for the support and amazing comments!! :)
No problem. Hope to hear from you again Next Year. Also, Merry Christmas my friend.
Thanks so much, Merry Christmas to you too my friend! :)
Happh new year!
ClefferNotes
Do you think you could do Revali's theme in the ballad DLC? They changed it a bit, the part where he fired a barrage of bomb arrows sounds like it would be great for a orchestra!
ClefferNotes
This is amazing! I like the relaxing slow waltz, and the climax is great too.
I am confused why is UA-cam only letting me like this once
I am confused why is UA-cam only letting me like this comment once?
Decided to listen to this as a farewell to Breath of the Wild now that Tears of the Kingdom has released, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m crying my eyes out.
god you just made me so sad, botw is so good
me to brother, me too
It’s been a year!
1:15 should be the Hyrule Anthem.
Cheekiest of the Breekis 10/10 said should be hyrule anthem
1:15 please stand for the anthem of Hyrule
Ikr, haha.
Shush! Its starting.. Everyone stand up!
Clockwork Vintage are we hoisting the flag (Establishment Day) or just unfurling the flag (The day where the constitution comes to affect).
4 years later and this is still my favourite Champions Ballad rendition.
YO Cool pfp man! Bravely default is underated as fuck, its my favourite game of all time
1:15 JEEEEEEEESUS THAT DROP WAS CHILLS ALL OVER THIS IS SO GOOD
I inmediately saw this post after the chill
ngl almost had a seizure at that moment and are currently banned from listening to this ;-;
I had to distract my lads so I could write this...
Agree
I know
I can imagine this playing at their funeral after the final battle with Ganon
That was deep
Imagine them making statues and people playing this in front of them
I miss them... They didn't deserve to die.
The Vyrulian Prince I agree
Man😭 if this was in botw 2 I would cry. The champions didn't deserve this, not even revali
1:15 OH DAMN I DID NOT EXPECT THAT
My friend used this for background music for our project and surprisingly we got the highest marks
That ain’t a surprise. Music works magic
The transitions into piano at 0:56 and 1:54 are so emotional. It's like it comes from a feeling of being hopeful, to then having the sad realization that the Champions are still gone. This is so beautiful. I could totally see this being in the game itself, it's so good!
i specifically looked out for these points in the video. and now i’m crying.
It almost really did get me crying
This is fantastic! The part at 1:15... bravo, just bravo.
Agreed!
While BOTW was a fully furnished house, The Champions Ballad was the family pictures placed in frames around the house; the different mugs for each resident living there; the diverse decor adorning each bedroom; the old boxed-up stuff in the cellar and/or attic, etc.
This makes me sad 😢 I love all of the champions and I hate how they all die
@DaJoltySnips999 I know but it’s still really sad!! And that would have to be Mama Urbosa lol.
@DaJoltySnips999 mine is mipha because f i s h w a i f u
If I ever had the skills and money to make a video game, I'd undoubtedly hire you as then composer.
You're the best.
I'm thinking of working on a game, maybe I'll hire him and I'll send you a copy?
@@stpidstuff Yo, what happened to your game?
@@oliverh.6702 haven't made it yet, but I am now starting to work on the required skills, like music, art, coding, etc.
@@stpidstuff Cool! What kind of game will you create? Which genre? RPG like TLoZ?
@@oliverh.6702 yeah probably gonna be inspired by Zelda and Deltarune. So it'll be an RPG.
holy shit. if there was a goty trailer, this should be the trailer music
Jake Karpinski damn you are correct. Let’s make this a thing
Chills...
I recently got BotW for Christmas, I love it so much. It made my favorite game ever in the matter of hours after playing. Currently, my main quest is only to defeat Ganon, as I recovered all memories and restored all of the divine beasts. I want to do the most I can to prolong my first experience with the game before I attempt to defeat Ganon. I love the soundtrack of this game so much, and I've listened to it quite a bit, and I can't wait to get this part once I buy the DLC!
This is absolutely *AMAZING*!! At 1:15 I started uncontrollably sobbing, because it reminded me of my father, who unexpectedly died about 2 months ago. Miss you dad
RIP
Hope you can get better losing someone is always hadd
I’m so sorry for your loss
Once I hit 1:15 I couldn’t stop grinning! I love this so much
Holy Hyrule! This is a wonderful version!
Very well done! Kass would love to hear this too! ^^
May the Goddess smile upon you.
Marcos Pinheiro If you go to the Temple of Time before conquering any shrine it says that Hylia is smiling upon you.
May the light illuminate your path
Kashiwa was very Happy. He said me😂
Ikr! It would be so awesome if this was played at a high school concert or something! Imagine how fun it would be to play it! especially since you know the song it would be way better!
"This will be our final opportunity: we will not fail!"
Okay I totally cried 😭😭😭 I had To say it. It is AWESOME
Me too bro
1 like away from 69
Your not the only one 😭
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
When the Champions come back:
01:15
sounds like a trailer
The Legend Of Zelda: The Movie
Coming never.
Sounds like it belongs in a Studio Ghibli film, especially composed by Joe Hisaishi
It does omg if a legend of Zelda movie was made they should use this for the trailer or credits
@@_sunnyskies1742 oh, really ?
I'm not sure.
And it hits you like a trailer
Two years already?
Time is so fast...
Honor to the fallen champions!
And obviously, to the greatest composer of all times❤️
I play the clarinet and I've been trying to replicate the Champion's Ballad on it for the past couple of weeks or so. And this was a happy surprise which made my day. A Christmas miracle if you want to think of it that way. Thank you so much!
I feel like crying for some reason... This song... It's just too beautiful.
I KNOOWW RRIGHT
Oh, hello Brotato! XD
Holy Crap... this is incredible... I have no words... ❤️
The fact this doesn't have millions of views upsets me greatly. More than Revali whenever Link is around!
This is beautiful!
I cant stop crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I HAVE THE FEELING OF BEING YOUNGER VIBES 😭😭😭 THE NOSTALGIA,, HELP
WHAT MONSTER WOULD DISLIKE THIS
ganon
Bokblin
Cucco
Moblin
Those trees i blew up
You are getting so much better at this! This sounds a lot more convincing than stuff you made just a year ago! I guess new instruments is a part of that as well, but heck! Good job man!
@Arvid Olson just saying it could be a woman you never know
This is what should have been in the game at the end of the DLC. Unreal job, dude.
I played this song when I saw the picture in the house. So much feeling and I cried a bit... as in tears rolling down. Yet now also seeing they are still being remembered somewhere in Hyrule just gives me all the feels.
Fuck, dude. Every time i hear this song, it just hits harder and harder.
I had to start the new decade with a bang, so this is the first song I listened to this year. It was definitely worth abstaining from this for four months (it was so hard) so that the music would have a greater effect on the night of. Happy 2020, and a prosperous next ten years to you all!!
God bless past me for not knowing the trashfire that 2020 turned out to be.
Well, to everyone who sees this in the year of 2021, great job for doing your part. For staying inside, for wearing your mask, and for vibing on your couch. It's been another year since I've listened to this, with great restraint. I'm glad this music is so appropriate for welcoming in a new year, and a fresh start. I got chills. Like every time I listen to this.
All this being said, Happy 2021, and a prosperous 365 days to you all!!
If BOTW was a movie, That music would play as the final scene. Link would have finally finished his quest, avenged the four Champion fallen for Hyrule. Ganon would be dead. the spirit of the four champions would wave goodbye to Link, the camera passing in front of each of them, smiling proudly at Link one last time, a tear at the corner of his eye, he would stare at them, wave, then he would put his master sword back on his back, walk through the sunset, the spirit of the four Champions watching over him, full of hopes. Then it would be a zoom out from the sky, we would see Hyrule castle, then the whole Hyrule field then finally the whole Hyrule. Sun would set a triforce would appear in the sky with the four lights of the four champions around. Screen would go dark, credit would roll, and we would all be crying wanting to watch the movie all over again.
Dude! You deserve so many more subscriptions than you have. Your covers are absolutely incredible. This sounds like a legit professional recording of a live orchestra.
Your work is amazing. I've been following for a long time and I am glad to be part of your journey.
Hope you'll have a lovely Christmas ahead of you man! I'll loop this for a while :D
Though I grew up, and remain a woodwind at heart, I can’t deny the beauty of the brass used here.
I want this to play at the end credits of my life
1:15 gave me chills! It's so beautiful! Great job :)
I feel like having this in the part where the king is coronating all of them as champions would have fit this instead of the hyrulean king's theme song. Then the rest of the cutscene is the same from the game where it slows down to the softer part seen when they took a picture
Amazing!!! :) Regards from México!
It's things like this that are helping my growing appreciation for orchestral music
I really didn't care for this song playing the game, but this rendition has made it a favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Listening to this 4 years later feels so nostalgic.
This is literally the most epic thing I have ever heard. Being a legend of zelda BOTW fan, this was awesome
Was talking about meaningful game music over the years, and this theme and your arrangement never ceases to bring tears to my eyes. Absolute masterpiece of an interpretation of this melody.
My heart! This is such a good cover.
This just gets better after you play the game for more than 200 hours
Génial magnifique musique et très bon ritme que tu a sue placé au bon moment 👏👏👏
I wish that the sequel was about finding a way for the champions to be alive again. Or when you beat ganon, that they would be alive again.
Time travel, baby
@@zackarysullivan9019congratulations you just predicted age of calamity how do you feel right now
I’m not crying you are.
I’m not. Crying, you are.
am i crying because this rendition is so good and surreal it makes me imagine all the champions and link remembering them fondly as he hangs up that picture they took together? maybe,
Never in all my life have I ever heard such an amazing, triumphant and beautiful song. It’s hard to explain how awesome this is. Never give up on music
The entire time I just had goosebumps and chills all over my body
Amazing wonderful job
What a nice closure for this awesome game !
From one fandom to another, "May you ever walk, in the light"
Well, it's 2024. Who knew it'd blow by so quickly? 2023 was a great year for me, despite its trials and tribulations; I learned so much. I completed my freshman year of college (currently I'm a sophomore) and gained so many friends and memories I know will last a lifetime. And it's been yet another entire 12 months since I've listened to this absolute masterpiece, *again again again* with great restraint. Since this is the only day of the year I can listen to it, I'm appreciating every note, every swell, every intonation that tugs at my heartstrings. I teared up again, listening to that amazing beat drop. I'll say it twice, and I'll say it again- This is the perfect first piece to celebrate the new year. It's so hopeful and powerful, it gives me chills every time.
I look forward to listening to this again next year: I love the tradition of coming back and seeing all the new comments that have appeared, including my own from past January 1sts. I have no idea what I'll write here for January 1st 2025, but I sincerely hope future me is content with what 2024 has to offer.
All this being said, Happy 2024, and a prosperous 365 days to you all!
Finally! These covers are just amazing! I hope to see more of you next year!
Love hearing your chilled orchestrated music while studying :)
you've really taken the original and brought it up to a whole different level. I love the creativity and re -imagining, Great job!!
If I was capable of drawing and animations and stuff, I'd make an animation-thing to this music. I love this cover, it's absolutely astounding!
This is the perfect example of how a song with an incredibly basic structure scheme can be one of the best in a game.
This would be the perfect song for a wedding waltz.
Stop making me Cry :,) This Cover is soooo awesome! The first time i heard this cover, i thought its in the Game.
Well, it's been another year. 2021 will surely be a year to remember for lots and lots of reasons. Good memes, too.
I once again restrained from listening to this wonderful piece for another 12 months, and again, with great restraint. Again, this music is incredible, and I think it's become a New Year's tradition for me to visit it after a long year of whatever shenanigans I'd been up to. It's a great start to a new year; it's a good time to reflect and get ready for what's to come. Again, I got serious chills when that beat drop hit.
I'll say it again, Happy 2022, and a prosperous 365 days to you all!!
This is vastly underrated. This is an amazing version of the Champion's Ballad
I still think this deserves way more attention than it gets
I've been following your work since before Breath of the Wild came out and you've done quite a lot of great things, but your orchestral stuff has never been better. Arrangement here is on point! Fantastic job!
This is the most heavenly and holy thing I've ever heard
Can I just know... How come you always succeed in making everything as awesome as can be?? This is absolutely amazing!
wonderful! thank you so much for the wonderful rendition ClefferNotes!!!😇😇
I never wrote a comment on a video, but I’ll do it today. Each time I go on UA-cam and I see that you uploaded a video, there’s always a smile on my face(yeah, I don’t see it, but...). Your work is awesome and I can’t stop listening it. You’re probably my favorite channel on UA-cam and you should get more attention. Continue your awesome work😊
I have to keep coming back to this every now and then. It's such a beautiful and moving piece. I love your rendition of it!
This is so freaking amazing. I love this to death, thank you for this insanely amazing cover. Sorry I’m late
Awesome
Hey ClefferNotes, can you return to making Zelda music? I would love to hear your take on the new Breath of the Wild 2 trailer music.
I had a feeling this would hit me in the feels. I was right
I was waiting for someone to make the orchestral version..
Thank you,
I love you and your work too.
Keep going!💘✨
Oh my god I'm crying.
WHY THE HELL AM I CRYING.
This made me cry a lot, thank you thank you for create this master piece!
This song is tearing me apart. Can't stop listening. Absolutely captures the emotional impact of the completion of the Champions Ballad story.
i wanna cry even tho they only had like a few cutscenes it felt like i knew them my entire life
Thats a good fucking game for ya
This video deserves BILLIONS of views
So beautiful....you made me cry.
I cried this is more than beautiful
Another year has gone by since I've listened to this piece! Wow, what a year. I did a lot of things this year I never thought I could do, and memories that I will never forget. 2022 was a good year, but I'm more than excited to take on what 2023 has to offer. It's been another whole 12 months since I've listened to this arrangement, *again again* with *great* restraint, and this time, it made me tear up. I'll say it again- this is the perfect piece to open a new year. It really inspires me to appreciate the past and look forward to the future. Coming back to this piece once a year is truly a highlight of my New Years traditions, and I'll continue it for many years to come.
All this being said, Happy 2023, and a prosperous 365 days to you all!!
1:17 is amazing!
The shy meek waifu, the loud big bro, the jackass tsundere and the big sister beauty who’s always sighing at our shit…
Sounds like the ideal group of friend :’)
I can imagine this song in two ways: 1. Link and the rest of the Champions come back after defeating Ganon and everyone is cheering. 2. Everyone is waiting for Link, Link comes out and cheers and everyone goes wild and lifts Link in the air like a hip hip hooray style, and the champions are there too.
I’m going to cry this is so pretty
Oh man I never played this game but the cover you did just makes me cry every time at 1:15 the swells and that hit man. Thank you
Lol and I'm back here crying again a year later.
Simply stunning! Makes my heart swell with joy listening to this amazing theme orchestrated. Bravo!
This was published the day before my 17th birthday.. the rendition of this song gives me such nostalgia to that time. Everything was easier then. I’d spend most of my time playing botw haha. I wish this channel still made music :(
HRM BEFORE 17 YOU SAY?!??! HRMRMMMM....
(The only reason i said that is because in one of the memories, Zelda tells your that tomarrow is her 17th birthday.)
Wafflez 05 ahaha so glad you picked up on that! I literally wouldn’t stop repeating that line to my brother on that day as it was the only day I could recite it with it having meaning lol
that orCHEStraL section tHOUGH
This is gorgeous!
The fact that link had to see all of his friends die and then come back after 100 years to save the world again..without them..over, and over.
Can’t help but cry...this is just to epic for the world to have...thank you.
