- Video game music is becoming more and more popular. The rise of Videogame music concerts is in increasing demand. Electronic videogame soundtracks made as a remix or orchestral arrangement are fast growing and now amassing huge followings on UA-cam. Iconic soundtracks like Super Mario, Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda are some of the most loved and listened to, especially when a musician takes a theme or track and arranges it for other instruments, turns it into an electronic remix or orchestrates it for a full orchestra, all with their own ideas in mind, giving the music a new lease of life, uplifting, relaxing, invigorating and entertaining the listeners, something you would hear on Classic FM. A soundtrack from a Videogame could be turned into a symphonic journey, a waltz, a medley or whatever the artist can create.

This is a Symphonic Poem for a full Orchestra, entitled "The Ballad of Termina". A Symphonic Poem is essentially a piece which tells a story, and with the 20th Anniversary of the release of Majora's Mask, I felt it fitting to write something special to celebrate this incredible and innovative Zelda game, which stands out from the other titles in this infamous franchise.
In this piece of music, accompanied by video footage of in-game play, I attempted to tell the whole story from the beginning: Originally, there was the Skull Kid, who befriended the four Giants who watch over Termina. Skull Kid was a prankster who played tricks on people, leading to their distancing from him. After losing the Giants when they went to sleep and watch over the inhabitants of Termina, Skull Kid acquires new friends, the Fairies Tatl and Tael. After coming across the Happy Mask Salesman, he becomes possessed by the power of Majora's Mask, and wreaks havoc upon Termina, causing the Moon to fall to the surface of the World.
Enter Link, on his journey to find is Fairy friend Navi; on his travels, he encounters the Skull Kid while possessed by Majora's Mask, and journeys to free himself of the Deku curse, as well as helping free others of theirs, and ultimately uniting the four Giants together to halt the fall of the moon and defeat the threat Majora's Mask poses the world.
Afterwards, realising the Skull Kid never lost the Giants as friends, he befriends Link, in time for the Carnival of Time held at Clock Town, the central area (and heart) of Termina.

@@BenEmberley Done and done!
I Loves this Song, the Legend of Zelda
What a wonderful tribute to the best game ever made! 💖
It's probably the most beautiful zelda cover I have ever heard (and seen) !
The part where you introduced link with the original theme got me crying. It was unique, an outstanding masterpiece for my favorite game !! It really did justice to the depth that there is in this truly unique game.
I had stuff to do and in the end I spent 30 minutes entranced by this enchanting video.
To make it simple, you killed it, it was unbelievable !!😢🎉😂👏
Thanks so much! That means a lot ^_^
Loved the orchestral arrangements and the continuity you brought to your narrative, though admittedly I wanted more song of healing lol but one thing to pick with you a little (sorry, meant to be helpful feedback), I thought that you kind of didn’t tell the story? If you’ve played the game some of the footage you show/descriptions you give for the events don’t really make sense. But honestly that’s a small gripe when this is more about the music being a tribute to a classic. And with the narrative you created based on the games events, everything makes sense there, so for someone unfamiliar with the game they probably won’t have any idea. I also see some comments of people who haven’t played and now want to and that I think is the ultimate goal, so kudos! Thank you so much for creating and sharing!
This is just outstanding, Ben!! I was totally floored by the Pirates' Fortress and Ikana Castle themes!
Thanks so much Rebecca ^_^
I've been struggling to find music I can listen to while working and stumbled on this goldmine of a channel!
A satisfying revisit to the land and music of Termina, MM was one of my favourites and I'm glad to hear this particular take on the music, I also enjoyed that there was gameplay footage of both versions as well, and even if it didn't have much of the creepy and sinister feeling it still brought back some satisfying memories with such nostalgic songs together, that's my Like earned.
Random thing I noticed that doesn't really take away from the video in any way but I thought could be pointed out; Majora's Mask Remake wasn't on DS like the description said, it was on 3DS... Totally creative console name difference am I right lol-
This is an awesome medley, I come back often to re listen it
what a wonderful surprise!! definitely made my day, thank you so much for this!
Never played the game now i want to!
I feel like I'm listening to a suite in an auditorium. Thanks from Spain.
👏👏 So much nostalgia!
Simply beautiful. Thank you for this. MM is my favorite game of all time and I loved this from front to finish.
That was amazing to witness over half an hour of amazing music from arguably the greatest video game series of all time. Cheers for the MM Ballad mate!
