Here’s our cover of Ballad of the Windfish from Zelda: Link’s Awakening, with original lyrics that we wrote. This is the first time Josiah and I have written lyrics together and then we started our band OrcaMind! Thank you for listening and for your support. :)
Headphones recommended for listening! (lots of fun panning with the harmonies going on)
Lyrics (by Josiah Everhart and Michelle Heafy)
Just a dream
What’s it mean
When it feels so real
Every sight
Every sound
Makes me feel
Like I gave
Part of me
To sapphire seas
And the waves
Wash away
Memories
The wind is changing
And I know that you can feel it too
But I lose track of time
When I’m with you
Watch it all
Rise and fall
While we are drifting
Can we stop
Sands of time
From shifting?
The wind is changing
And I know that you can feel it too
But I lose track of time
When I’m with you
The tide is rising
And you know that I can feel it too
But I lost track of time
Cause I’m with you

This is our version of Ballad of the Windfish from Zelda: Link’s Awakening, with original lyrics that we wrote. This is the song that inspired us to start our band: OrcaMind, which is now our full time job! Our music style/melodies/instrumentation is vgm inspired. Our drummer is also vgm drummer - DonutDrums! See us live orcamind.org/shows
This is great! Next is Zora's domain right?
Oh. My. Stars. This is so incredible! My favorite Zelda game gets the ultimate treatment! Y'all did SUCH a WONDERFUL job! From the first shot of the silhouettes, I was anime tears all over the place. The emotional impact of this scene when I was 13 playing this alone in my bedroom - it transported me to a world of magic and fantasy and this melody has stayed with me ever since. Thank you so much for making this old man smile. Truly a reminder that it's dangerous to go alone - take a friend. ♥
These lyrics are much better than the ones they wrote for the remake!
This is ridiculously beautiful. The new direction you guys took this song worked so well!
Hey! I appreciate that. Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! :)
This is criminally underviewed.
Yes
I still agree. I am in my feels every time I hear this on my playlist.
And under liked
Also I love how you recreated the scene with Link and Marin
Omg that's true!
This brings tears to my eyes, I am trying to convince my fiance to walk down the aisle to this, at the very least have it included in our wedding in some way. Great job.
Soooo cute! I hope you were able to do it 🥺
Man.... we don't deserve this quality of content... this is amazing...
You're so kind, thank you for your ongoing support, Diego!! :D
beautiful
Seeing one legend appreciate another is beautiful.
I love how you mimic the scene with Marin on the beach from the game. The romantic setting carries the song pretty well.
MELTING, gorgeous arrangement that really really worked for duet!
OMG this is so beautiful! Amazing work you two!
Awww Diwaaaa!!! Thank you so much! 💖🐋
Awesome job! Just recently beat links awakening.
Oh you did? Awesome! Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! :)
The original or the switch remake?
@@Bluegirl12345 the switch remake
Stopping in again to say this is one of my favorite songs.
Hey Dalton, thank you! I'm glad this is one of your favorite songs!
Wow. This is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Coupled with the sad reality behind the game, it really melts my heart.
I'm usually not a fan of the 'lyrics added to an instrumental song' type of cover (i usually find the lyrics to be really forced into the rhythm), but you guys did a fantastic job with this! it feels totally natural, and so relaxing
First zelda game I ever beat as a child and it made me feel so good as all the other games I would get lost or stuck at that young. All the songs play in my dreams.
Aw I love hearing memories like that. Thanks for sharing
No prob. Legend of zelda games are a trove of precious memories.
1 year later and this still makes me cry. I love this arrangement so much! ♥️♥️♥️
8 year old me wasn't prepared to cry to a piece of music from a Gameboy of all things and 33 year old me also feeling the same but different feeling from the same piece of music, this is a great cover!
Just dropping by to cry again... but those are tears of joy. Link's Awakening was my very first Zelda game i owned myself back on the GB and it's my second most favorite Zelda game (right after A Link to the Past).
So a lot of the songs from Link's Awakening have a very special place in my heart.
I also love all of your DKC2 covers
if nintendo makes a movie of links awakening this song should go in it
Real kind of Josiah to brave a dungeon for that guitar just so you could recreate the Link/Marin scene.
Whether the scene was intentional or not, your location was gorgeous.
Just beautiful. The music even looks like an island sunset (blame the synaesthesia), and it reminds me of many evenings I spent on a lovely island more than 30 years ago. Can't remember the last time I got chills like this...
Astounding. Truly an accomplishment in arranging the song and writing the lyrics, I can't listen to it enough. It makes me feel very nostalgic and wistful. Bravo, truly!
thank you SO much! that is so nice of you! really glad you like it.
The lyrics you added fits the melody very well. The lyrics also match the spirit of the game.
Heavenly... heavenly harmony of you two... 😭
おふたりのハーモニーはまるで天国のようですね。。
I’ve played the original GB version in the 90s of my childhood and that was my finest memory of zelda😊
Holy moly everything about this is perfect!! The lyrics, both your vocals and harmony together, the instrumentation and ambient textures, the videography!! So beautiful!!!
I am Japanese. I'm always watching. Thank you for your beautiful singing voice. I'm looking forward to the next one！
I still don't understand how you don't have a million subscribers yet. I loved the music!
That's so nice of you. Thank you!
Can’t stop replaying this
I have just imagine myself making a walk on a meadow while i was listening this song. Perfect as always.
Just makes me smile, thank you guys so much for creating such beauty.
I just finished this game for the first time like a week ago and that scene on the beach with link and marin has been on my mind since. It's such a melancholic game and I love what you guys did with the song. Your arrangements are always so special :)
Might I add, this is my favorite rendition of the ballad of the windfish. Beautiful!
Wasn't at all the one i was looking for.
Glad it was the one I found.
Fantastic.
Wow… my God. I just recently came across this. What a sublime and wonderful track! Really adds a deep perspective onto the original. Link’s Awakening may look whimsical and light but there was so much more to it that was heavy and deep.
This was amazing. I can loop this all day…
I've been following both of you for a long time, and I rarely leave comments on these sorts of videos. I just wanted to say I was absolutely blown away by this cover. Elevated the piece well beyond the original material, and the harmonies and mix is just spot on throughout the arrangement. Great job as always, and I'm always looking forward to more!
I was about to say this song makes me feel like I'm helplessly and eternally drifting into the sunset, and then the word "drifting" came up in the lyrics. =) Nice job!
I love Ballad of the Windfish, it's such a beautiful song. This is a stellar cover you two, what an amazing interpretation! Thank you for your efforts!
I need to share this with my audience! Beautiful!!!
I've read some comments and you're probably tired of hearing how beautiful this song is, so goddammit it I'll say this sound is so soft, soothing, and wonderful.
Didn't think it was possible for my favourite music from Zelda to be any more perfect!
I just found this recently, and I listen to it so often. It is mesmerizing and gorgeous and so peaceful. ❤❤
Aww man, you two are gonna make me fire up Link's Awakening just to hear all that great music again 🥲 FANTASTIC work, this was incredible. Your harmonies gave me chills!
I’m crying this is so beautiful 😭😭😭
This song is such a huge test for remixers. It's SO hard to avoid making it sound like a video game melody instead of a song. Especially the end of the phrase. That's the most impressive part to me, is what good versions of this song do with the ending. :)
Very well done!
havent played LinksAwakening yet, but i love this song, it evokes a very nostalgic feel and this cover is perfect for it
I really don't usually like when people try applying lyrics to game songs without them, but this was really well done. I'm impressed and appreciative of your efforts. I liked the lyrics and the singing/guitar was fantastic.
It's so beautiful. By the end of the song, so many tears had welled up in my eyes
This is the best cover of Ballad of the Wind Fish I've ever heard!
My gosh what in the world your voices are beautiful!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes this game, hopefully.
Gave me goosebumps. Great video!! I’ve loved this song for many many years now. Hope you’re doing well!
Oh best wakey wakey song, thanks best morning ever
I am melting this is perfect
Hey Julia! Thank you so much
This is just BEAUTIFUL. TOO BEAUTIFUL
I cried literally
There is angels on earth and one of them is you
I destroyed that like button. Beautiful.
Very very nice and beautiful duo. We let ouself transported by this Peaceful and soothing song.
Probably my favorite song y'all have done. It really captures an indescribably ethereal essence that's just so mesmerizing. 🎉
I love link’s awakening, and I love this cover.
Oh wow. After hearing your Earthbound cover together I had high expectations for this one but it blew them out of the water. Incredible work, this is beautiful. I'd love to see more of you two working together!
WOW. This is amazing. Matt's sister is just as talented as her bro!
This was absolutely beautiful. Even down to the end when you 2 smiled together. So wholesome.
Wow, this is amazing. Great lyrics, really adds something to this song.
Always loved Link's Awakening (since the early 90s) and the music is superb
Amazing! My favorite in the series
I don't like singing much. I really don't like adding lyrics to songs that never had them. But this song really makes me feel something. This is such a great sound and interpretation. I'm going to have to check out your other stuff.
Oh man, this is truly magical.
Link's Awakening was the first game I got from my dad. It was the first thing I didn't have to share with my brother or cousins. Because of this It became my favorite and still is my favorite Legend of Zelda game.
My dad and I fell off and haven't spoken to each other in almost 18 years.
Picked up the the Switch remake. Like second nature, rushed to the beach to grab Link's sword and went to the square to hear Marin sing. Every memory of this game and my childhood came flooding back all at once. Had to find a cover of this song.
Found this video and It instantly reminded of that day I opened my present that Christmas morning with my dad. all the good times anyway. 😭
Haven't had a good cry in years. Thank you.
How do you know all of my favorite songs? The two of you did an incredible job on this one!
One of my favorites

WOW chills! So wonderful. Could listen to this all day.

it turned out beautiful!
Woah! That was sooo good!! Great job! Your voices work so well together! The video looked amazing as well!! Great job!!
Oh wow. This is so relaxing, it's almost like a lullaby. You're looking absolutely gorgeous too.
Wow. Incredible version. If you make a Zelda album its a must buy.
Amazing ballad and deserves more love. Why is my nose so runny after hearing this
That was magnificent :) Ive loved that song ever since I first heard it on the original gameboy version and the lyrics fit just right! You two killed it!!
Found this in recommended and I'm absolutely blown away! This is AMAZING!
This was so wonderful, I really needed to hear this tonight
Wow. Just wow. Came here from Josiah's channel after he mentioned this in his video, and I can't believe I haven't found your channel until now. You just earned a subscription, and I'm heading off to check out the rest of your works. See you around!
Both of your voices go together so perfectly. Beautiful rendition of my favorite Zelda song. Great job!
Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks for uploading and sharing! See you next video
Holy molies! I hope you two have more collaborations soon!
Nicely done it captures the experience of the game perfectly
Wow... very nice work 👍 Still my favorite Zelda. This is one song that always transcends our humanity, takes us as close to that dreamworld as we can ever get before it fades out of reach.
Simply beautiful ❤
Oh wow! Amazing work! 😳🤯
Simply Beautiful ❤
After this you had BETTER turn into a seagull before the island disappears and then fly somewhere that'll appreciate this song like it deserves.
hahaha :D thank you!
one of my favorites and you guys perform by far one of the greatest versions of it!
incredible absolutely amazing keep coming with more
thank you so much!
Love both of your music and these arrangements between you both are really beautiful. I just wanted to let you know how talented you both are and hope you continue to create such great music for us all to listen to and enjoy. Just bought this and Twoson today.
Bloody hell Heafy.
The voice is a ripper.
This is your sort of song.
Holy cow, that was mind-blowingly beautiful!
Probably your best work so far!
Woah this is such a beautiful lyrics track from Zelda. That was impressive!
This was my favorite melody back when the game was released for gameboy :'') good memories
I bet this is what Gorman actually heard in Majora's Mask when he was young. It's incredible.
Beautiful voices, both of you!!! So calming, this seems like a dream itself!
