Pretty courageous playing the Song of Storms whilst also being outside!
hahahaha. dont worry he didnt play the ocarina
It rained applause.
Specially because UK.... It's all fault of our prime bollocks ministers
And in britian to 0-0
its not canon
The "beautiful French song" that the stranger played is called "Comptine d'un autre éte : l'après-midi". It's a very beautiful song to play even if you're not that advanced in playing yet.
Secondly, amazing video. Something about playing videogame music in public is very satisfying to watch.
when i heard him start playing I got chills since i recognized it
Jesus Christ the sovereign God loves you my friend :" ) you matter a lot to the Holy Trinity and I hope you can have a wonderful relationship with God as God miraculously healed me of my years long chronic breathing issue instantly within an anointed prayer :" )
Isn't it from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" ?
Isn't also from Detroit: Become Human?
thank you very much
Did anyone else see that woman shed a tear while he played the Great Fairy Fountain... the energy and emotion created from music is undeniable
Timestamp?
1:15
That’s how I feel everytime I hear ocarina of times intro.
Yes! Love that someone else caught that, too
Sorry for the delayed reply, life’s been hitting hard but seriously thanks for the synchronization of our energies it means everything rn
1:58 Ah yes, Zelda, my favourite modern composer!
Hey umm fonzi
Can you post more videos please.
I love you fonzi
What’s the name of this song?
@Тhе Gаmе Тhеоrists shorts 🅥 bro shut up
If I ever saw someone play Zelda songs in public, my life would be complete
fr tho and it better be the day totk comes out or the anniversary of oot
A kid did it at our highschool talent show and then lost to a band that played "Brain Stew" by Greenday. I was gutted, even though I was 14 and loved Greenday then haha.
My school has two piano’s for student use during breaks and lunch, and every lunch period a kid plays Zelda, xenoblade, Mario, super smash bros, etc. he plays dozens of video games music.
@@lyndenhaineault9082 bro the xenoblade music too?
@@SawyboiWasTaken yup, I’ve caught him playing counterattack, engage the enemy, and mor ardain day theme.
Zelda is just one of those franchises that is almost perfect. The stories, the music, the way they look. Zelda is definitely my favorite game series of all time.
Bro story in zelda are kinda mid
I hate zelda games shits to complex
@@Doors067pacman might be more your speed.
You don’t even have to be that smart to play Zelda games. Just have like a first grade education. 😭 (some puzzles are hard tho and that’s what makes it fun)
@@timothycarey3883 ay I feel him tho man, the older games can be tough as shit.
‘Is that Bach?’ No, it’s Koji Kondo. 😂
I used to play Zelda a Link to the Past on my SNES back in 1992 and have not really played another Zelda game until Tears of the Kingdom. I almost cried the first time I heard The Fairy Fountain theme playing in Tears of the Kingdom. Obviously it sounded very modern with real musical instruments but the melody was the same and immediately took me back almost 30 years. Back to my bedroom and to a better time when I was just a kid in school playing on his SNES. Very nostalgic. I love this song. Thank you for playing it.
Koji is a musical legend to.
@@pinkbeatle2012 *too
I mean it could be inspired by Bach :D I think some Link's Awakening dungeon music was
OoT Title Theme reminds me of Debussy
It makes my eyes water every time. I'm 38 now. Link to the past will always be the best game and best music in the world for me. ❤❤❤
Gerudo Valley is easily one of the best songs out there. I heard a Mariachi band play it in a Mexican restaurant once (I kid you not) and it was one of the most incredible experiences. Nobody could figure out why all the 30-something year olds in the restaurant were cheering so much
I strongly desire this.
That sounds amazing 😂
This makes me feel like I was born in the right generation
The last generation to have a recognizable childhood culture
Mariachi I style would be great, a lone piano playing it is just disappointing.
Wish you had told the guy the real composer, Koji Kondo. Dude deserves more recognition for being an incredible composer who has helped make our favorite games just a bit more magical
Koji Kondo*
*proceeds to type the name wrong*
@@raulalbanil1984 but.. he said it right😉
@@javirios3107 Koji Kondo
@@javirios3107 his crtl+c is broken
‘Is that Bach?’
Koji kondo is truly a legend
Damn, Gerudo Valley seemed extremely difficult to do towards the end. The complexity in the notes and the positioning of your fingers for them all looked strenuous.
not to be a hater but out of experience i can say that he probably missed quite a few times but can just mask that really well this is something all good musicians can do but especially pianists
I love how the one guy mistakes Koji Kondo's work with Bach, it just goes to show just how amazing of an artist the guy is. He should honestly be remembered just as much as the other great musicians in history.
Definitely and I believe he and many others will be. There a quite a few amazing artists who's works go into games and movies that are essential to music history.
I remember watching a video a while ago where classic musicians had to figure out if a song played in a simple melody was either Mozart or pokemon, and there were a few pokemon songs they genuinely thought were Mozart. I guess it goes to show that even with working on limitations of the Gameboy and other early consoles, composers for Nintendo knew their stuff :D
I think that chap was embarrassed but hopefully in time it'll be seen as a sincere compliment and not something to be embarrassed by.
@@charityquill4965 I also watched that video. Crazy stuff.
Great Fairy’s Fountain absolutely sounds inspired by Bach. Credit to the guy for knowing the OG!
He might’ve been receptive to learning about Koji Kondo, but it ended up kinda awkward. “It’s a famous composer named Zelda,” is a pretty dismissive answer. You’re just assuming he won’t want to search it up later. Even old folks have heard of Legend of Zelda (Think Robin Williams.) So he could’ve been feeling like Boomer hate and just moved on.
Just respond with confidence! “Legend of Zelda, baby! By the incredible composer, Koji Kondo!” or “Ocarina of Time, a true work of art in video games. You learn and play music as a core mechanic of the game!” That’s the way to do it, and warm people up to the merits in our favorite works.
"Is that Bach?" is a testament to how great Koji Kondo is. He's one of the greatest composers of all time.
yes but honestly I can't understand why he's asking. This kind of music has nothing to do with Bach's style...
there is a bach's song that at a part sounds similar to great fairy fountain, but I don't remember the name lol
And Nobuo Uematsu
and thankfully he understood the magic of zelda:)
- so he must be genius:)
Who the fuck is that? The song is by Zelda!
I feel that sometimes it takes a demonstration like this to show people outside the gaming sphere that these songs can stand on their own legs.
Absolutely! I DJ’d a friends wedding and played songs from games (their list). Had aunts, uncles, grandparents coming up and asking me who the composers were. Had a huge smile on my face every single time. Pulled out a pad and pen and told them to write down their name and email and I’d have the couple send them the song set. Had a great chuckle over it! Especially from the uncle that hated video games.
@@EikoMidoriHime why do the uncle hate video games?
@@LucioBvB09They just aren’t for everyone?
Koji Kondo the goat
@@Chewy_Toast Not a reason to hate them though
I swear I think I would honestly just stand there next to your piano and start crying hearing you play Zelda Songs. This game has such a deep and huge impact in my life I could listen to you playing for hours. Amazing Performance 🙏
They had an orchestral Zelda concert in my city and hearing it played by a live orchestra just overwhelmed me, I cried bro
It has one of the most influential peice of music in gaming industry.
I still can’t believe Koji Kondo was able to write some amazing pieces of music on the NES HARDWARE.
Truly amazing.
Nintendo has never really skimped on the sound department. Their first party games always sound great and the hardware facilitated it even back when tech was weak.
bonus fun fact: the reason the og gameboy was so effing big was because of the 1980s tech 4 channel synthesizer built in
@@misterturkturkle That is a fun fact and one that totally makes sense. The OG Gameboy has a surprisingly cool sound FX.
@@leeartlee915 years ago i stumbled on chiptune music and found that some artists were performing with modded gameboys as instruments. they put in higher quality sound jacks, and used hacked carts with a custom music program called Little sound disc jockey. but the rest of the hardware was totally standard. it was amazing.
ua-cam.com/video/k_46qbQPqTw/v-deo.htmlsi=yocQfjc7tHowQkyM Sabrepulse dark lightning was my favorite track
The original Pokemon soundtrack on the Gameboy is a perfect example of this. The composer was influenced by Bach and extensively utilized counterpoint to create music much more complex than should have any business on the GB.
It's crazy how a lot of classical music fans don't really appreciate great composers like Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu, Jeremy Soule, Harry Gregson-Williams and the like today just because they're associated with video games. Though at least many will still somewhat appreciate movie score composers like John Williams and Hans Zimmer, but video games usually seem so ignored.
Like guys, the composer doesn't have to have died over 100 years ago to qualify as a great composer. Video games are keeping this style of music alive today and more classical fans need to appreciate that.
I agree
Its like when you tell people Picasso was alive in the 70’s
Classical music fans who don't like Koji, Nobuo, etc... Are just not classical music fans.
That's pretty much it.
Ignorant Boomers... 🤣🤣
Rock Beato had a video talking about influence of video game music. Was pretty interesting.
I agree that people exist but we, people that appreciate them as the legendary composers they are, we are also humans like them and probably a greater number each year
I love when some people in the background hear the iconic notes and just stop immediately and be like "is that... it can't be? holy crap, i think it is" you can just see them realizing it lol
Like at 5:09 😂😂
Very much agree. You can always spot the gamer going about their day basically ignoring the guy playing piano only to stop in their tracks when the tune catches them.
For those who don't know the song played by the other dude (around 1:58 or something), it's
Comptine D'un Autre Été, by Yann Tiersen
He played it a little too fast for my taste, but he's got the spirit, great music to play
Gracias ✌️
Thank you so much 😊
Detroid become human
Yeah he did play it a bit too fast. Thats one of those songs where every second counts. But when you are nervous you speed up. Natural human reaction
Lol his gf didnt seem to mind, and thats all that matters in the end
I love playing Zelda songs on my accordion. Something about them on accordion fills me with an unexplainable joy and happiness. I can play the Overworld Theme, Song of Storms, Lost Woods, Ballad of the Wind Fish, and a little bit of Gerudo Valley.
ive got a feeling you're an anthropomorphic macaw
@@rojasrr hahaha
Please tell me you've done a cover of Kass's theme!!!
When the dude played the French song, you could tell his girlfriend was so proud. Love Zelda, so I’m glad you did this, it sounds amazing, I definitely don’t have the confidence yet to play in public
ikr? girlfriend is lucky, I would be swooning so hard 😍
That was from the Amélie soundtrack.
This is the second song I learned to play it's very satisfying and not too hard.
@@MrMuel1205 It's Yann tiersen if anyones wondering
i reckon that was his sister
Videogame music has been keeping classic compositions fresh even more than cinema. So many great composers.
It really does shock me how few professionals composers even think about considering video game music as “art” considering I grew up with video game music and it’s the music that’s had the largest influence on my composing style.
The day soundtracks from video games can be considered true art by the masses is the day I can die happy
@@DaemonWorx It's ironic too, more people will listen to video game ost than anything these professionals composers make.
Ace zero, Final Fantasy, Metal gear, The Witcher, Persona... the list is endless really, Japanese Composers are nuts. I listen to these all the time.
@@DaemonWorx Yes!! Big agree with all of you lol
@@redbard4300 imagine forgetting halo
and the best thing about it is probably that most of them are beautiful on their own, but simultaneously designed to be able to be looped without distracting too much or getting on your nerves.
So beautiful AND useful. 😊
I literally cried when she started playing Zelda's Lullaby omg that was such a beautiful moment to witness.
why do i get so emotional for the start screen music? i think it's one of the more underrated zelda pieces. and those hoof beats hit me right in the feels.
fairy fountain?
Most people, especially older generations, don't realize that games can have actual orchestras creating their music. Nobuo Uematsu is one of my favorite composers of all time and you can't go wrong playing an absolute banger from FFVII or VIII. Such beautifully scored music.
They missing out!!!
FFX Back to Zanarkand is the most beautiful piece of piano ever played
to be fair, when they think of games they probably think of pong and pacman
@@twizz420 I got a NES as a kid, there were Zelda games i just listened to my bro play (45yo)
@@joddog That's a good one. For me it would be Aerith's Theme.
5:22 man, I got chills all over that part!!!
The wind blowing through his hair during the Ocarina Title screen song, the random guys sitting in and playing, the epicness of the Gerudo Valley song, guy asking if it was Bach…. So many highlights in one video!
Koji Kondo really knew how to write both iconic and catchy but also atmospheric, moody tunes as well. Cool to see you guys bring more attention to this soundtrack.
He’s the 🐐 of video game music
@@PS-lv1mr agreed, Koji Kondo and Grant Kirkhope are the only video game composers I know by name lol.
@@1mariomaniac mick gordon is pretty great too. He did the soundtrack to the new doom games.
Why are you speaking in past tense as if he isn’t still alive 😭

The stranger who sits down and plays at around 1:57 is playing a french song named Comptine d'un autre été, l'après-midi, by the composer who made that (and many more) brilliant melodies for a french film called The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain from the year 2001, original title is Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain. For anyone who enjoys the lovely background sound of Piano and could possible enjoy watching a heart-warming and beautiful romantic comedy (and not the cheesy type) you owe yourself to watch this movie and listen to the music. You can thank me later.
ua-cam.com/video/jpo5Ro1quIo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OSTMovieScore There's a link to the song he's playing.
L'aprés-midi was the first song I ever learned for piano, love that song. Though that stranger sadly kinda butchered the third part of the song, and got the tempo of his hands really mixed up. The rest was really well done though
Absolutely agree!!!
I knew it was from Amélie the second I heard it! I completely agree that Amélie is an amazing romance, but what you forgot to mention is the very interesting things about the film. She likes to try new things, and do things people wouldn't think to do. I love the gnome. She also loves to make people happy so much, but she sees that someone's boss is really mean, so she takes action herself. She goes into this person's house, and changes things very slightly, like changing the doorknob from a round one to a rectangular one, or getting shoes exactly like his, but a few sizes down, and replacing his with the ones she got.
to me it sounds like Detroit become human
Cant even lie, I teared up in Gerudo Valley and Fairy Fountain. My childhood was filled with such incredible music
This is my second attempt watching this video. At my first attempt, Joe started playing Great Fairy Fountain, and I burst into tears.
Ocarina of Time lives in my heart dearly as it is my first VG to ever watch and play as my late brother owned a N64. I would watch him play for hours and sneak on to play my own save. I tried to be sneaky, but he obviously knew as he saw my save.
Thank you Joe for showing others the beautiful music from OoT.
I have no idea what is so satisfying about watching someone play amazing songs in public but this is incredible
For me I feel like a big part of it is it is a song I know, and I get to see what types of people stop for a song I like and what kinds of people move on.
Also the performances bring me back to a time when I would enjoy those songs. This video was my favorite childhood game.
I like hearing the ambient crowd sounds in the background, makes it very immersive
Legend of Zelda games were always the ones we would beg our dad to play, just to we could watch him and help him solve the puzzles. The songs always bring nostalgia bubbling up inside of me. Thank you.
Lol this is great, honestly the songs are perfect for literally any instrument
Ikr
Right?! Or when I could not solve, and Warcraft. The OG warcraft, with levels. Hahah what a time to be alive
Best of all time
I'm glad people get to have memories like this, and I wish I could say the same for myself. If I ever became a parent I'd hope for that sort of relationship with my kids ^^
Thanks for this. This was incredibly nostalgic. This game (ocarina of time) made my childhood so much better. I moved a lot as a kid, and when I discovered this game as a kid, I didn't have any friends to play with in the new neighborhood. I spent all summer playing this game and exploring. It seemed so massive at the time. I'm 30 years old and I can't explain the feeling I get when I hear this music. It's just awesome.
There's nothing I love more than the compositions from all our beloved Zelda games. I too play these songs on Violin and Piano constantly. I adore you did this in public~! Many non-gamers do not know the love that went into creating these pieces. You melted my NY heart boy XOXO
I agree with the lady at 1:18, Great Fairy Fountain always makes me cry too. It’s hard to describe but it fills me with a melancholic nostalgia for a time and place I have never been, nor can put my finger on, yet feel so powerfully for. It’s such a moving piece.
she was just wiping dirt bruh xd
@@kanekifriedchicken yeah but fairy fountain is still one of the most saddest and relaxing songs i ever heard
Totally agree!
It makes me cry as well. I thought I was the only one. I feel better now.
same i cry too and its because i miss the good days when i first heard the song.... when we all did. :)
Early video game music and bach are actually pretty similar. Due to the technical limitations of the hardware, composers used a music technique called counterpoint to create rich sounding textures using only a few voices. Counterpoint was kind of perfected by Bach in the baroque period, and video game composers often cite him as a huge inspiration.
NEAT! I learned something today!
Yea and Bach was really good at developing melodies, which is really important in video game music in the form of leitmotivs!
Also due to creative limitations of the typically one person who was responsible for the entire game (story, design, coding, graphics, sound, music, QA), and due to copyright constraints, it was often easiest and cheapest to just use a Bach piece verbatim :)
There was a video I remember watching a few months back, where 2 people were doing a quiz on music pieces and whether they were Mozart or Pokemon tracks, and was interesting to hear them back and forth and actually be puzzled on some as to who it actually was.
All modern music is really just Bach in principle
Just got one of your videos randomly played after smth. I watched.
Great energy, it’s easy to see you love what you’re doing - and you letting strangers take over and contribute to your content is telling a lot about the quality of your character!
You won a fan.
I am 41 and been a Zelda fan all my life. Played every game and i still do. This was awesome 👏 great job
The french song the stranger plays at 2:08 is Comptine d'un autre ete, l'apres-midi by Yann Tiersen for the soundrack of the movie Amelie, which is now also a musical. He did an amazing job with the piece. I had one friend who could play it, and whenever we were in the vicinity of a piano I would almost beg her to play it. It sounds better live, somehow.
There was one time I was visiting Boston and I walked into this like mall lobby and heard extremely familiar music playing. Some guy was on a piano playing the Build Mode music from the Sims 1. I was so excited about it and stood there for a while but none of my friends knew what it was. It was the best feeling.
Was fine at first but then went hyper fast that threw me off.
A Sims 1 build mode suite would go so hard
was that mall lobby by any chance inside the quincy market building/faneuil hall marketplace? i once played the elder scrolls theme in there
It's also in the ad at 4:03
Ur amazing
To be clear it should be mentioned, and respect given to Koji Kondo the great composer of these Zelda songs. Ocarina of Time to be exact and my all-time favorite game.
Koji's a legend :)
Kondo might be the most underrated composer of all time. The sheer amount of this output that isn't just great but *timeless* is unreal.
@@megamandrn001he’s underrated in the West because he isn’t from the West…
Ocarina of time is the game people started playing Zelda with (most of time) so it's also their favourite most of times
The second song is also from a video games called "valiant hearts" that came out around 2012-2013
The Gerudo Valley song has always been my absolute favorite, so beautiful!
Song of Storms always gives me chills. So good.
The title theme always hits me right in the emotions. OoT is the first Zelda I personally owned. My mother bought it for me for the N64 as my first game I ever owned without sharing with my brother. I’ll forever thank her.
OoT was the first game my father ever showed me as a child. I would sometimes just fall asleep with the start screen on, the music is so beautiful
I get teary eyed everytime I hear it brings back so many childhood memories, to be a kid again would be a dream
@@steven-le8fo I fully agree 😢 hearing the Zelda music brings me to a time with 0 responsibility lol
Yeah that hits nice and good right in the nostalgia
"It's famous composer called Zelda" not only it's hilarious but you're also trying not to make him feel embarrassed. Respect.
I feel like saying Koji Kondo would have saved his embarrassment. Saying Zelda kinda came across as condescending
@@pentax2551 He probably blanked on the composers name or he would have said that
@@lobaxxI know I would have.
Zelda is a princess, Zelda is a warrior, Zelda is a horse, Zelda is a composer now too uhauhauhauhahua
@@kumakorp yeah I'm guilty of calling link Zelda 😅 and I always called the horse the horse.
I feel so honoured to have Ocarina of Time be my first real video game experience. It was how I learned to read 😊 I remember my brother setting up my new N64 and asking if I could read yet haha because Zelda games are good for those who like to read. These songs are so precious to me.
The soundtrack to oot was, is and will continue to be unforgettable, those who know it are transported to a time when life was simple and fun. Those hearing it for the first time instantly fall in love ❤️
I like that the stranger had the confidence to play that. Good on him!
His gf was so proud of him too. I hope they where on a first date together, that would be amazing!
Yan tiersen that song its so hard to play 🥹 many people know the song from the movie amelie
@@tippinonmyha1321 yeah i hope they will be very happy together !
That shit was bussin fr fr
@@Zengod94 it’s from Wagner if I remember well I think it’s called the wedding but in German. Sorry if I’m wrong.
Koji Kondo really needs some kind of Lifetime Achievement Award for all his work on the Zelda series music.
He & Nobuo Uematsu truly belong in the same level of regard given to John Williams & Alan Silvestri.
He also did a shit ton of Mario music, dude's a beast
Also yan vann der cruyssen for stray but I probably butchered the name
I completely agree! Also these are four of my top all time favourite composers so I love that you picked out those ones specifically!

This video is AWESOME! I love the variety of people that your rendition of Zeld music reaches, young & old alike! Thank you for sharing this video.
I'm from Mexico and a big zelda fan, I've been to Bristol 3 times for work and from the beginning of the video I identified the place!! Everyday I went to that Tesco, it would have been great to come out of the Tesco and listen to you play those Zelda songs, I would have stayed all day
The intro to Ocarina of Time always gives me chills because it reminds me of such a great time when I was playing it. I turned the game on, listened to the intro, and couldn't keep from smiling and wondering what adventures lay ahead.
And the shop music…
Yeah the intro filled me with such a sense of mystery as a kid and whenever I hear it, the ghost of that wonder comes back to me. I can’t feel the same level of wonder in video games as an adult that I could back then, and this song always reminds me of that and takes me back to how that felt.
YES 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I remember my mother walking by and looking out the windows, so I asked her what she was looking for and she said the horse! XD I pointed at the horse on the screen and she was a bit shocked. (we did sometimes have horses around our house)
For me it is song of storms. Something so chilling and nostalgic about it that makes me feel happy
It's honestly sad that some of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created will never be experienced by a large chunk of the population simply because it's in a video game and older people can't fathom games being art

Those were amazingly covered on piano and might I add that was the best way I’ve ever seen someone pitch an ad. I may start picking up piano lessons
There were probably a great deal of moms and dads who bought their kids these games over the decades wondering why these songs sound so familiar😂
so true tho
“Jimmy turn off that game and go outsi- wait i’m at the mall”

@@tastyjason4136 the first zelda game was released in 1986 titled "the legend of zelda" so its very possible the parents played it when they were young. fun fact, occarina of time is the 10th game in the series
For one of the legend of Zelda songs to be confused for a song from Bach is a true sign that Koji Kondo did an amazing job with the Zelda franchise’s soundtrack
While true, the guy obviously had no idea what he was talking about, the great fairy theme sounds nothing like Bach. Style is way too modern.
@@marfdasko Yeah, he was clearly just trying to sound like he knew something.
Fairy Fountain is inspired a lot by Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu so he probably truly recognized the song just mistook the composer. Listen to Chopin's song and you will hear Fairy Fountain
if you know chopins fantasie impromptu i doubt you’d get mixed up between bach and chopin ahahah
Fairy fountain was actually inspired by “morning glory” by Tatsuro Yamashita, mariya takeuchis husband. Listen to it and you’ll recognize it instantly
Legend of Zelda songs are so beautiful, I'm not surprised people get them confused with classical composers works.
I recently got an ocarina (last 7 months). It’s really interesting looking back and thinking, of what you played here what am I able to play.
Great fairy fountain ✅
Song of storms ✅
Zelda’s lullaby ✅
Saria’s song ✅
OOT theme ❌

Also, in my opinion, it is probably one to the best song is all of Zelda
Absolutely. Gerudo valley has always been my favorite Zelda song. It’s just so unique from anything I’ve ever heard before, while also encapsulating the beauty and power of the Gerudos. It’s such an amazing tune.
Gerudo Valley still slaps!
Gerudo Valley is my favorite. It always hits my heart somehow. There’s so much spirit in this song 😭😍
I still love Gerardo valley

A lot of heads snapping at the sound of a familiar Zelda song playing and the others just marveling at the beauty of the music.
you gotta do this again, i honestly just wanna hear more fairy fountain played in public lol
That "beautiful French song" played by the stranger is from a French movie - Amelie! The entire soundtrack (written by Yann Tiersen) of which is beautiful. The specific song is Comptine d'un autre été, l'après-midi. I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't to both see the film and listen to the whole soundtrack!

Zelda's OST pretty much birthed/nurtured my love for music since a very young age. Koji Kondo laid a great foundation for the future artists to expand upon and it has shown greatly in these modern Zelda titles and fan's interpretations.
Nice picture and name, Majora's Mask along with Ocarina of Time are my favorite Zelda's
The gerudo valley cover is really pleasing to my ears, I didn't expect for such a piece to be able to fit into a piano
nice ! it is very nice to see Joe imrove though the videos, i can really see the effort in phrasing the songs ! and it is well done !
1:57 That _Comptine d'un autre été: l'après midi_ was amazing! Kudo's!
Idk why but zelda songs always makes me drop a tear. Even more so when played on a piano. Shit is too beautiful
I thought it was just me
The title song always gets me... Hauntingly beautiful
Facts. First time I've cried while sitting on the toilet watching UA-cam 😂
I've never really sat here and listened to piano before, but i'm quickly finding out that i too cry from hearing it. Is this normal lol? That title song was just amazing
@@toastyy1455 its called nostalgia. And from good memories. People who played zelda some time ago may drop a tear while hearing it
I'm a full grown adult now, but one of my earliest memories is getting a N64 for Christmas and playing Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time with my 2 older brothers. Any time I hear the Zelda music i get hit by a wave of nostalgia, Joe, your rendition's of the Zelda music are amazing! Keep it up! I hope you do some more at different spots! While I love Anime, and that's what made me find your channel, I think the Zelda music has a much broader appeal to the public in general while doing this live outside. Little Trivia, did you know Robin Williams the famous and unfortunately deceased actor/comedian/legend loved the Zelda series so much he named his daughter Zelda! That is all, have a great day whomever read this.
That's a really cool fact! I did not know that one. I have no idea when the man died, since I barely know who he is, but I always love when media touches people so much that it influences them in such bog ways like naming a child after a character.
@@Sakachi18 if you'll like to watch some of his movies to get an idea of who he was, I recommend:
Patch Adams
Dead Poets Society
Jumanji
Night at the Museum
And of course Aladdin (he voices the genie xD)
@@AngelesBustamanteMyea he was great in jumanji I never knew he played video games and specifically zelda
You can play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo Switch’s Lite I seen it on there
I started as an adult and still play now.. once you are hooked on Zelda 😁, no doubt. So much care goes in to every detail and it shows. BOTW is most amazing and we are all chomping at the bit for the 2.0 TOK Spring release, yeah?
That was Awesome - You are very talented! Love Zelda ❤
I love the slight harmonic dissonance it's beautiful
I've never played a Zelda game before yet every song here feels nostalgic. I've really been missing out
same
You should! Tears of the kingdom is coming out next year, so it's a great time to jump in.
Play Ocarina of Time! It is an excellent game for someone new to Zelda as it introduces a lot of main lore.
Plus the majority of songs in this video are from the game!
Try out breath of the wild! Beautiful game
the new Zelda game is coming out soon. you should hop in on that. also i suggest you play Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Zelda Ocarina of Time. it explains most the lore and story in both. either way, all Zelda games are very cool very fun.
Song of Storms is, in my opinion, one of the most addictive songs in existence. It feels like you’re constantly falling forward, and never hit the ground. When you expect a resolution, you just get the beginning again. I feel the same way about Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, which is a huge compliment to Kondo.
Sounds like he played the notes wrong in SoS
So many of the zelda songs are crazy addictive, some of my favourite are the title and outset island from windwaker, too many to say from OoT and SS as well as so many of the background themes from BotW.
Mines the great fairy theme it's so enchanting and graceful
Agreed with Song of Storms! It feels like a constant song that you could watch go on forever
I think that feeling is intentional and tied to the origin of the song in the game. You get the song by approaching a man in the windmill as adult Link and he shares with you the song a boy had played long ago to make the windmill spin faster. Go back to the past and play the song there as child Link and you literally become the origin for that song. Which I assume ties into the song itself looping back to its own beginning. At least that's how I've always interpreted it. It's a genius piece on its own but for me became so much better with the in-world lore from the game.
man, you gotta get someone who plays ocarina to play the title theme with you, that would be truly epic. gerudo valley was my favorite, keep up the amazing work!
He should do this everyday I love Zelda
It’s always hard to explain the emotions I feel whenever I hear Ocarina’s title theme. Somewhere between extreme happiness and content, but also a little sad.
Nostalgic?
Same! Gonna have to agree with the other commenter, I think it's probably nostalgia. Probably back when times were more simple.
I feel nostalgic and I was born in 2008
I feel the same way, it brings back memories
@@eVCANN me too. ive never even played OOT, but i feel like the songs embody nostalgia
I'm terrified of lonely pianos in public places. Really want to play them, but at the same time I don't, plus there's always someone who actually plays right and takes the seat. Great music from composer "Zelda". 🤣
When other people play: The piano is on fire, everyone is watching, it's the most beautiful thing you have heard all week
When you press one single key: Everyone in a 6-mile radius dies from a stroke
Are you terrified of them because of SM64?
@@TheAbsol7448 Nah, I never got to that part in SM64. I do have an issue with falling penguins tho.
I’m only scared of them from playing Super Mario 64, at the age of four. That’s why I have social anxiety, and insomnia. Don’t get me wrong, I love piano _music,_ not pianos. I know, it’s weird, but…
Great Fairy Fountain made me want to learn piano! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC
I’m a whole ass 33 year old with literal chills hearing this on an actual piano. Right in the childhood! This is amazing!
Damn, that Gerudo Valley arrangement was fire.
I learned to play the piano because of the Zelda soundtrack. Seeing this in my feed instantly got me back in the mood to start practicing. Fun fact: Song of Storms, Clock Town, and The Title theme of Ocarina of time were the first 3 songs I ever performed on Piano. Seeing this video sent me down a road of nostalgia for a multitude of reasons.
Love your videos man, you inspire me to practice and one day I'd like to do what you do and spread inspiration the way you have to myself and many others.
I also learned piano because of the legend of Zelda so I can relate. I love how Zelda inspired so many people to start becoming musicians.
@@tristanrice28 I swear every Zelda Soundtrack since Ocarina of Time have all been absolute masterpieces in their own right.
Got to love talented people showing the world their music, hope you keep doing this for years to come man!
gerudo valley just hits different
It's just beyond anything how phenomenal all music in ocarina of time is.
And the new songs in Majora’s mask go so well with the songs that came from oot
Majora's mask is one the few perfect sequels
i share your thoughts about it
Respect to the young couple who stayed for the whole performance
also the boyfriend who played some sick piano!
Well it sounds badass. Why wouldn't they stay?
The guy laughing when the older guy asked if it was Bach was hilarious lmfao
I would also force my gf to stay through the whole performance tbh :D
OoT has simply the most beautiful tracks out of any zelda game ever made. I wish you'd have expanded on the song of storms with a medley
gerudo valley doesnt hit quite the same without the other instruments though. the sheer *depth and thought* put into that song and its instruments doesnt get through on piano alone
The composers name is Koji Kondo. And he’s effing brilliant.
That moment at 2:15 when the bystander piano player's girlfriend is so proud of him!
It was generous of you to let him play and to put him on the video.
Yes and bravo to him for playing in public. But he absolutely butchered the piece haha, the rhythm made me die inside.
@@TiboNutz that is the downside of knowing too much about music, you couldn't enjoy things like that. On the other hand, I, as a mediocre musician, could enjoy his playing very much.
and by 2:55 she's thinking about what she's gonna do to him later... 😏
Imagine him playing it for his grandkids in 60 years, and his grandkids thinking "grandpa playing his old music again, ugh" 😂
Epic.
@@gustavomartins5599 True. Its one of the reasons I was Always hesitant to actually get good in Music. I didnt want to lose the Enjoyment.
Fairy fountain literally brought me to tears. A Link to the Past is and was my all time favorite game since I was kid, that hit hard.
I'm right there with you. Something about it being played so beautifully on a classic piano just hits different.
Hearing the Fairy Fountain being played on any instrument will hit differently
thats hitted hard to me too , im 38 ans i growed up with ocarina of time ,
💯
Best soundtrack of all time. Every tune a absolute banger
I really love the guy looking back and recognising what they're playing 5:10
The smile on buddy's girlfriends face was so wholesome. She's so proud of her fella. What an awesome piece.
