Same. It makes me think of how Windwaker was nostalgic for Fred, just five or so years after its release. It feels so long ago. I'd play that game sitting on the floor of my brother's bedroom, Mom was getting dinner ready...
...15 years old now, and still one of my favorite videos of all time! Amazing how epic this was then and now. Hands up if 15 years later you still come here for some of that childlike wonder.
Wow. I just stumbled on this video again after who knows how many years. I remember I'd listen to this video to get all hype while waiting for the copy of Wind Waker I bought off Ebay to arrive. Good times...
Time has flown by. Last time I saw this I was a HS kid... I just got married last month... This song is timeless and has a special place in my heart just like the wind waker game.
Nah. The music is just written brilliantly. It somehow manages to evoke melancholy, determination, and wanderlust simultaneously. Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, and Koji Kondo are brilliant composers and this video arranges their music beautifully.
Even after all these years, I come back to this. Once a middle schooler and now a married man. This video will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I saw this around the same time, I know I haven't forgot. i find my self thinking of this version of the song quite often though. Its been a minute since I clicked on this.
I can say that all my years on this site, this is still my favorite video on UA-cam. It left a massive smile on my face when I first saw it back in 2008 and now in 2023, I can say that it still leaves a smile, especially at 1:43.
The final run through the theme at 1:44 honestly brings a tear to my eyes because at the time Wind Waker was released, it was not only the latest game, but also the last game in the Zelda timeline. The sinking of Hyrule was supposed to put an end to the story.
I can't believe how amazing this is despite being made 10½ years ago. The audio quality is amazing, the video isn't amazing, but it's 2008, so what do you expect? But this completely blew me away for being a 2008 video
Wow, this cover really hit me. The performance sounds so clean and natural, without any audio enhancers or artificial sounds. Really felt the passion and heart put into this music. Absolutely brilliant.
Dude I don't think I've ever commented on this video, but I have been watching this since 2009 in high school, and come back to it time and time again. This is absolutely incredible. You are so talented man! Hope you're doing well. Happy Holidays :)
Justin Wilkinson Me too! Although I listen to it almost every day! It just sounds similar to the credits theme. I don't know if it was intended to have the same songs as the credits, but this sure sounds almost identical, with a few differences.
I'm 51 and I've been playing and loving Zelda since the beginning, and the music is pf course lart of what makes it great. My 14 year old son showed me this video and i was blown away...
Found this via an older LP from ChuggaConroy. This is absolutely gorgeous and I've had it on loop for two hours so far and I can't even begin to express how much I love this.
I'm sure that he will come back. I read or heard somewhere that he takes a break from UA-cam to work on a CD or something like that. Don't lose your hope. :D (if the english isn't correct, then i'm sorry)
14 years later and this is still my absolute favorite video on youtube. ♥️ Can't tell you have many times I've come back to this. No matter my mood, it's like pure happiness and joy and to be honest, at this point it feels like coming home whenever I watch it or listen to it ♥️
I have loved this video since you released it into the wild. You were one of the first I ever saw do this sort of multi-instrument, multi-take, multi-mix video. You are still a legend, in my eyes. Well done, bud. 16 years later, fuckin' nice.
You me and my college roommate used to come home from parties smashed as fuck and blast this through the dorm over and over like 12-13 years ago. Shit still holds up and makes me emotional.
This exact rendition has so many emotions and stories behind it for me, even really bad ones. I was in like 5th grade listening to this and im 21 now. Lots of memories tied to this... amazing
I've had a pretty long and complicated life; a lot of shit has gone up and down, especially recently. This one song has stayed with me. I've been listening to it for years, ever since I was a kid all the way to now as an adult just trying to make something out of myself in this world. It's always here, always bringing me back to simpler times. Thank you.
This video was so ahead of its time
It really was
Hi robert
Indeed.
Hey Robert, nice to see you here
Yo Robert, I never expected you of all people to appear here!
It’s 2024 and this video still gives me goosebumps.
Same. It makes me think of how Windwaker was nostalgic for Fred, just five or so years after its release. It feels so long ago. I'd play that game sitting on the floor of my brother's bedroom, Mom was getting dinner ready...
Still here. Still listening. Much love ❤
YO! Didn’t expect to my favorite retrospective channel here, I see you’re extremely cultured.
Every year around Christmas time, I always find myself coming back to this video and it filling me with so much joy. Merry Christmas everyone :D
Same! Still doing it? :)
I didn't think i see you here
PEE GR
DGR big fan of your mario maker videos
Merry Christmas!
12 years later, this still stands as a UA-cam classic. So beautiful.
Merry Christmas, bird boss.
So glad I'm not the only one here
This is absolutely one of the top five videos I think of when I think about early UA-cam.
Others were doing it, but he did it better.
...15 years old now, and still one of my favorite videos of all time! Amazing how epic this was then and now. Hands up if 15 years later you still come here for some of that childlike wonder.
One of my favourite videos on UA-cam, ever! That song just makes you happy and relaxed from the first notes.
Very relaxing indeed! Thanks for the share
Thanks Adrian for the share. He's one very talented, make that multi-talented young man. Perhaps the better term is "eclectic". #ReallyTalented
Thank you Adrian !! beautiful Music !!
great!
Just awesome.
Wow. I just stumbled on this video again after who knows how many years. I remember I'd listen to this video to get all hype while waiting for the copy of Wind Waker I bought off Ebay to arrive. Good times...
You and me both Leth.
Don't forget to stay the Perky!
Love your content Leth
Me too but whit skysward sword

No matter how many times I've seen the video, the climax with all the instruments always gets me.

Bruh it's been like 8 years and here I am again
Craig Tucker Me too
Craig Tucker y'all are making me feel things! ❤️
Yeuop... Here I am too.
10 YEARS AND YUP STILL COMING BACK
Me too
1:43 I still get chills every time. Perfection, the best arrangement of this there is. Even almost 14 years later!!
Time has flown by. Last time I saw this I was a HS kid... I just got married last month... This song is timeless and has a special place in my heart just like the wind waker game.
What the fuck you were between 14-18 and you're married at age 22-26? Damn that's young. This is probably a copypasta.
CrazyFeverDream Stop drop and roll
Congratulations on your marriage. May your days be happy as this game made you feel.
Congrats!
@@rampagent9226 its been 3 years lol i can see this dude having kids by now
This makes me happy.
I know :D
You know the game had an impact when the music makes you emotional :')
+Racist Bassist THE NOSTALGIA
Very true, I almost shed a tear when I listen to this. One of my all time favorite Zelda games.
I've never played the game and this hits me right in the feels
Nah. The music is just written brilliantly. It somehow manages to evoke melancholy, determination, and wanderlust simultaneously.
Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, and Koji Kondo are brilliant composers and this video arranges their music beautifully.
A christmas project that became one of the most legendary videos of all youtube. After 13 years this is still in our mind and hearts. :)
Wait what?
7 years later and I still come back to this quite often because it's just so. damn. beautiful.
Same here man. Same here.
L8onL8on I do the exact same thing man. I never get tired of this.
I like this so much that after all these years I'm still overwhelmed by it.
RIGHT!
+Frabjous feeling exactly the same
Yeah, every one in a while, I run across this again and have to watch.
I Cri.
3 years later, the sentiment remains!
LONG LIVE WIND WAKER!!!!!!!!!
Pikachu gamer u know that wind waker is my fav game of all time
LONG LIVE WIND WAKER
Long live Wind Waker!
LONG LIVE THE NOSTALGIA! LONG LIVE THE OCEAN THEME! LONG LIVE WIND WAKER!
LONG LIVE THE WIND WAKER!!
almost 11 years has passed, and your latest zelda one makes this look like.... a really good thing! No, seriously, this is where it all began!
Literally I love how his latest medley hint to this
@@smelly9997 Ikr
Has it really been that long...?
15 years and it's still the best Zelda music cover.
I can't watch this without getting emotional. *sniff*
Ultrachessmaster Me too. This is fucking beautiful...
I feel you bruh
I listened to it through once and was all "awww nostalgia". After the 3rd or 4th time through I was tearing up from the emotez!
Even after all these years, I come back to this. Once a middle schooler and now a married man. This video will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Timeless. I've watched this so many times.
I remember this so well... seeing this 6 or 7 years ago... Will never forget this video. Thank you Freddie :)
Have you forgotten it yet?
I saw this around the same time, I know I haven't forgot. i find my self thinking of this version of the song quite often though. Its been a minute since I clicked on this.
@@skoptsy4851 well thats nice ☺
I will ask you again in 3 years
J4nnis I can’t even begin to tell you how beautiful this comment is.
I cried the first time I heard this. I can't remember any other song I've ever shed tears of joy from listening to. Truly a masterpiece.
Same! And I think those who didn't get the least teary eyed must either be lying, or cold cold people... 😁
Bro, same. This is so good
I can say that all my years on this site, this is still my favorite video on UA-cam.
It left a massive smile on my face when I first saw it back in 2008 and now in 2023, I can say that it still leaves a smile, especially at 1:43.
That tiny homage to the dark world theme at 1:34 is brilliant
It's 2019, and I still keep coming back to this video. One of the best.
So do I
It's 2020 and I'm here
2020 zelda fan AND STILL GOING BABY
It's 2022 and my train had a delay
@@Giyothecoolkid It's 2023 and I'm showing this to a former band student of mine who was single-digit years old when this came out.
This is what made me start on UA-cam. Thank you Fredde!
Vc por aqui Chequer?
man love u
that 1:43 mark actually put tears in my eyes when i first heard this so many years ago. still does hit hard for some reason.
:40 for me brother
ok i hit 1:43, it's epic, literally has been my wake up alarm for like 8 years
Still a masterpiece to this day, saw this for the first time 15 years ago and it still gives me goose bumps.
This absolutely warms my heart. Thank you, Freddie.
The guy from your profile pic is dead. Not big Surprise.
13 YEAR OLD ME SOBBED WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS AND I STILL AM TODAY
Same. Except I wasn't 13 but, same. lol
you're still 13?
The final run through the theme at 1:44 honestly brings a tear to my eyes because at the time Wind Waker was released, it was not only the latest game, but also the last game in the Zelda timeline. The sinking of Hyrule was supposed to put an end to the story.
Man, returning here every year around christmas makes me smile.
His vocal harmonies still manage to give me chills nearly a decade after I first heard them.
i've been coming back to this video for 13 years and still makes me tear up
Merry Christmas, everyone. TWELVE YEARS and we're here again, listening to this masterpiece.
I can't believe how amazing this is despite being made 10½ years ago. The audio quality is amazing, the video isn't amazing, but it's 2008, so what do you expect? But this completely blew me away for being a 2008 video
So long as this video exists there is still good in the world.
This may sound cheesy, but I literally cried just from how perfect this is.
Don't worry man let it all out
That's not cheesy, that's just perfectly normal. Music does this to people. To deny it would be cheesy.
I did too lmao
*Den Drowned*
It makes me dance :) don't worry
1:33 and forward still gives me chills down my neck, when the song really takes off I can't not smile
Wow, this cover really hit me. The performance sounds so clean and natural, without any audio enhancers or artificial sounds. Really felt the passion and heart put into this music. Absolutely brilliant.
It's December 2019, always loved this song!
Yooo same pfp
This video is a kind of safe place for me after all this years
I will never be able to describe how happy this song makes me. I love this so much!
Still coming back to this in 2024 ❤
Still to this day my favourite cover of this theme. The part with the chorus just sends chills up my spine and tears in my eyes. It’s beautiful
I looked up wind winder theme cover to learn on guitar and stumbled across one of the best things I've ever seen
Dude I don't think I've ever commented on this video, but I have been watching this since 2009 in high school, and come back to it time and time again. This is absolutely incredible. You are so talented man! Hope you're doing well. Happy Holidays :)
I have replayed like a thousand times the little "Dark World" cameo at 1:33 . I just love how he just puts it there
I still come back to this video every so often. I love this so much
6 years later and it's still epic!
Eleven Years later and it still Is 🙂
This is so good it hurts
The feels :)
I come back at least once a year, every year to listen to this. Merry Christmas, and keep on rocking!
Justin Wilkinson Me too! Although I listen to it almost every day! It just sounds similar to the credits theme. I don't know if it was intended to have the same songs as the credits, but this sure sounds almost identical, with a few differences.
I come back to this regularly, have for over a decade, and get chills every time. Thank you for making this. ❤️
An absolute classic of UA-cam, watching this feels like coming home😭
I still come back to this video...
Me too ..
it’s because it’s perfect.
I dunno why but that ending bit always brings a tear to my eye
So beautiful ;w;
Me too :')
I'm 51 and I've been playing and loving Zelda since the beginning, and the music is pf course lart of what makes it great. My 14 year old son showed me this video and i was blown away...
Greatest Medley every. Extremely well edited videos. Great sound recorded. Bravo Freedie!
Oh my god. The nostalgia.
Found this via an older LP from ChuggaConroy. This is absolutely gorgeous and I've had it on loop for two hours so far and I can't even begin to express how much I love this.
I listen to this video every year since 10 years ago. I love it. Thanks!
I heard this for the first time almost 15 years ago and this still brings me so much joy. Thank you!
You are really talented. That's an under statement but still superb.
I remember finding this back when I was thirteen or so. All these years later and it's still as incredible as it was back then!
I cry every time I hear this. Used to bump it on my iPod nano back in the dizzay. Much love.
this video was my first favorite on UA-cam. I love Zelda.
Who not? :D
RIP Freddie. I'm gonna miss you, but your legacy lives on with masterpieces like this!
I'm sure that he will come back.
I read or heard somewhere that he takes a break from UA-cam to work on a CD or something like that.
Don't lose your hope. :D
(if the english isn't correct, then i'm sorry)
La Fisch your english is far more perfect than most people that actually speak it to be honest!
Holy shit. I read that very literally.. Heart sank hahahah
Kirkland Brown He actually uploaded a valentines day video, so that's proof he's still around.
Did he die or what ??
Still periodically come back to watch this masterpiece every now and then
14 years later and this is still my absolute favorite video on youtube. ♥️ Can't tell you have many times I've come back to this. No matter my mood, it's like pure happiness and joy and to be honest, at this point it feels like coming home whenever I watch it or listen to it ♥️
To my future me: I can´t believe you´re still coming back to this video! ^^
(I wish that i´ve written this a few years earlier)
Im back after 8 years according to an old comment of mine. Hello future you if you incubated enough :D
@@umeinui Hello I´m back
Merry Christmas
Crazy how time flies. I, like many others used to watch this all the time as a kid. Awesome!
15 years later and I'm still here

Why am I bawling omgosh this was just beautiful. How, HOW, have I never seen this before.
How've I never experienced this cover? UA-cam owes me an explaination lol. Made me bawl my eyes out 😭♥️
I've had a pretty long and complicated life; a lot of shit has gone up and down, especially recently. This one song has stayed with me.

@@mattsage5574 put your toes in my mouth
It’s already 10 years and i keep watching this video every christmas eve 🎄
can't believe this is 13 years ago. 1 of the first UA-cam vids I had ever seen. It holds a special place in my heart
One of my all-time favorite games, and one of my all-time favorite UA-cam videos. Absolutely gorgeous.
Same. This might be my favorite video of all time.
one of my all time fav youtube videos. brings me back to the good ol days 😅❤️🔥 what a phenomenal production! 💫
10 years later and this is STILL solid.
I've listened to this a billion times over the last 12 years and this is still, by far, the best cover of this song I've ever heard.
Same here! And I agree! This dude deserves more credit! ^^
@@BlackWingedSeraphX I hope he got lots of mp3 and ad revenue from this
He's using the spirit flute. Before it existed.
You're right 0_o
I've watched this in 2009 now, in the middle of the great lockdown, I'm here.
Is there an instrument this guy can't play? Seriously, that was AWESOME!
This is still something that I think of often and that gets stuck in my head. So good!!
This video is now 10 years old, and it's just as incredible now as it was then
10 years later this song still makes my cry. ❤️❤️❤️
Zero to a hundred right quick.
Damn, is this good stuff.
15 years and it's still good
Its 2019... and watching this still brings me back to my childhood
10 years later and I still love it! Thank you for the video! Hope you're doing well
Happy 10th Anniversary, Fredde. Still listening to this beautiful cover after all this time.
another year, another play of this great vid/music
