Hyrule Castle 8-BIT - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Вставка

- An absurdly epic theme for an absurdly epic castle. 8-bit usually doesn't fit well with orchestra music, but I think this one came out pretty nicely. Enjoy!!
-I use MidiTrail to make the video. It is a program that gives you a cool 3D view by loading a piano midi.
-I use FL Studio with a plugin called NES VST, made by Matt Montag! You can check out his site here, you can even donate: www.mattmontag...
-You can use my songs in your videos, as long as you put a link to my channel in the description. Also letting me know would be nice :)
-This song is true 8-bit, and is faithful to the limits of the NES (except for maybe the audio quality.)
-I don't really do request. Feel free to give suggestions in the comments though, you never know.
-Critisism is appreciated. but keep in mind that the NES can only play a certain amount of notes at a time,
so that's why almost no song can be recreated perfectly.
-Enjoy!!
I think this one came out so nicely because most of the Leitmotifs used in the original theme originated as 8-bit music in older Zelda games.
It is such a weird hybrid throwing the Ballad of the Windfish into the intro, main tune of Gannondorf's Tower, the main theme they use for the series, and Zelda's Lullaby.
@@AimlessSavant I personally think it represents something or even things to come. Ganon's tower signifies the evil in place, Zelda's Lullaby signifies how she is trying to fight and stop Ganon from escaping, resulting in the descruction of the entire world, and the main theme is signifying bith Link's bravery and courage for coming - with originally nothing - to fight off the beast that is Ganon. And Ballad of the Windfish signifies how Link is awakening - this is no mere dream. This is the final showdown. The whole song seems to show this though.
@@AimlessSavant You mean Agahnim's Theme, which is Ganon's Theme in reality. Don't forget, that song along with Zelda's Lullaby, originated in ALttP.
@@AimlessSavant exactly what I noticed…. Even if 4 years later….
Elaborate?
I always go to Hyrule Castle just to listen to this amazing ass song.
Umbran Peach
Uhh...
Zelda's Ass?

URBOSA IS STILL ALIVE
Shannon Maguire It's dangerous to go alone, take this!
this music sounds like it was MADE to be 8 bit
AlterEgo218
Its Link's Awakening.
-_-
XxxJim the ReaperxxX ?
Esosa Uhunsere
You wake up in a Resurrection Chamber.
Candy Garnet I could've sworn I read somewhere that the arrangements that were chosen were intentionally made to mimic the arrangement restrictions of the original 8 bit music. I wish I could find the article
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx My mind is blown. It is very like ballad of the wind fish. How have have I not noticed that?
This 3D animation piano thing is midly entertaining
no, its *midily* entertaining
Logan The Potatoe I got enough puns in Gerudo Town. I don't need more.
Just kidding I love puns. And that was genuinely a good one.
llogllomn no it’s *wildly* entertaining
*Sealiously?* You guys have enough puns?
Ahhhh hinox more puns
Why aren't there any sunglasses on the castle smh
ethanruin Haha true
ethanruin
Problem?
ethanruin my first tought exactly!
SilverAegis39 is gaming
The Hyrule Castle is NOT a Creature, it is a dungeon. So Why put sunglasses?
because sunglasses are cool
I love how you use a maximum of 3 voices at once (plus the noise/PCM channel). Very authentic. Great work!
Thanks Garett! It's definitely a fun challenge working with these limitations :)
Garrett Williamson and use of noise sounds
It's great to hear 8-bit music created within the limitations of the time (the NES in this case), so many "8-bit" covers have layers upon layers of sound and it sounds nothing like what you'd have gotten.
@@MrBobLucas I mean to be fair the FDS had an additional channel
When are you going to make more fnaf not scary
Hearing this song in 8bit form really highlights how close it is to the Ballad of the Wind Fish
Cause it is
listen to this at 2x playback. it sounds awesome!
thats what i was saying
One section also reminded me of Inside the Windfish's Egg. Hearing it in eight-bit made it click.
Definitely my favorite track from the game. Most of the music in this game is for ambiance, and it really surprised me to hear such epic music out of nowhere the moment I got near the castle (I actually didn't expect it to be a dungeon, at least not the outside of it).
If anything, this track gives me Hideout Helm vibes, which is about as great as it can get.
Yeah, it makes the atmosphere feel heroic, tragic and making the castle feel so big and grand and this music hides two songs (well the songs I recognize) Zelda's lullaby and the main theme of the series and it makes so much sense because the main theme of the series is basically Link's theme and Zelda's lullaby is her theme so it makes sense because Link and Zelda are fighting Ganon. So it's a genius theme for the castle.
Just some thoughts from someone who's been watching your vids for a while.
I really liked the 8bit art you used to use, seems waste to have them just on the thumbnail.
I also know you like this display thing. Just wondering if theres any way to combine these visuals with the thumbnail art?
I think using the same display for each vid makes them a little less distinct.
Thanks for the advice Goomba! I agree that I should change the visuals to differentiate my videos. I'm going to experiment a bit so expect new visuals soon!
Loeder remember that simplicity is also very good. i personally think your work is perfect as it is, but experiment i'd like to see your work grow along with you!
this actually sounds better than i thought, i thought it would turn out weird if it worked, but, as usual it's amazing.
The black backdrop of this midi visualizer would be a perfect place to use green-screen techniques to create a background.
Andrew
no it wouldn't. it would make rhetorical visualization harder to see
You can really hear Ballad of the Windfish in this version.
I mean, it was apparent in the game's orchestral mix, but it's undeniable with this sound font. Such a bizarre choice for this part of the game, but I'm not going to complain about LA getting some love.
Which part of it is Ballad of the Wind Fish? All I am getting is a few notes that they happen to share in a row, but cannot be considered the Ballad.
This song (exterior of the castle) and the song inside the castle are both a combinaison from differents Zelda Themes. The begining of the song is cleary a reference to Ballade of the Windfish. You have also differents Ganon themes, and Link theme.
A lot of song in the game have some calls from the past Zelda games ^^ (sorry for bad english i'm french) ^^
could it be, that the big whale skelletons in breath of the wild are the ones from windfishes ? couldnt think about where else they could come from ... cause there arent any oceans nearby them
Nicholas Collins The skeletons are called "Leviathan Skeletons" and there are giant whale creatures in Skyward Sword called Levias. The skeletons are probably the corpses of Levias'.
I'm getting castle Bleck vibes from this, cool.
Oh my god. Now that you pointed it out, I can't unhear it.
Gold Wyvern I love Super Paper Mario. Thank you
JuanK Gonzalez Me too!😄😢
Gold Wyvern omg yasss
ikr... the vies are real
Wow, right in the childhood. Thank you, those onions needed dicing.
Seriously though, this not only captures the music of the NES-era *perfectly*, but being the new Hyrule Castle music, embodies the feeling of all the hard work and effort put into getting to the 8th dungeon in Zelda and Thunderbird's Castle in Zelda 2(a *much* harder feat).
This is perfection.
Mark Henderson angry
Mark Henderson This sounds a lot more like gameboy than what the nes could put out.
THANKS FOR 1000+ SUBSCRIBERS!! Thats a lot of people with good music taste! Also thanks for the positive feedback and requests. I am going to do as much BOTW songs as possible, but some songs might take some more time to perfect. Thank you and enjoy!
Loeder I'm happy to subscribe, really great work man, keep it up!
Wow, you've grown a lot in 9 months!
This remix sounds like something straight out of Paper Mario
In an entire year, you've grown so much, currently you're at 40 000 subs, keep it up, man!
Green red and blue I see what you did there
Popcat what?
Triforce of courage , strength and wisdom?
Torin Fu *power
Like me some triforce
LET me rephrase
The colors represent Nayru, Din and Farore
They are the three creators of the world and triforce
All three main characters have one
Ganondorf, the Triforce of Power, made by Din
Zelda, the Triforce of Wisdom made by Naryu
Link, the Triforce of Courage l, made by Farore
Reference from oot i guess
The Link's Awakening nostalgia is so real.
Marc Sherman
That game is just an illusion of the Giant Whale who sleeps.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx we know
Just found this video. This, unlike many other 8-bit remixes, actually seems possible to replicate on an NES without the Castlevania 3 or Sunsoft chips. Well done.
You're doing God's work here.
Magolor89 *Hylia's
True
Magolor89 Nice profile picture
It's amazing how much music can influence our emotions. For example, when I was roaming through Hyrule castle, this song always gave me this feeling... I don't know how to describe it, but it gave me the sense that exploring the castle was the beginning of the end of the game. It also caused a LOT of unease. But I love it still, just for the experience that it gave me and how well it worked with the game atmosphere.
it really is impressive that you can break down orchestrated music into 8-bit like you do. hearing songs in this format really allows the melody to shine, as well as pick up all the juicy easter eggs nintendo left in there.
me walking up to ganon thinking the fight is gona be so epic
me waiting 5 years for him to get of the wals and also thinking why was thunderblight 2 or more times harder than ganon
I am getting some serious Zelda II vibes.
Feels closer to the Oracle games, in my opinion.
Under_score_ Or Link’s Awakening.
Okay, now I really want a fan made 8-bit version of breath of the wild!
Turtle Shell
Rom Hack pls.
That's kind of like the test game they created to test out new concepts before actually implementing them into the real game. Basically Breath of the Wild but in the style of the original 8-bit Legend of Zelda.
Kaj
With cooking & stuff?
I'm not sure if it had cooking, but from what they showed to us, it seemed to have a lot of stuff in the actual game, because each concept would likely have to pass through this test game before making it into the final game. I'm sure you can find it on UA-cam if you search it up.
EDIT: If you search up Breath of the Wild PROTOTYPE you should be able to find it.
Kaj
Is that a free rom?
Wait... Why do you have just so few Subs? You should have a way more! Your work is just awesome! :)
Der Purpurwind I'm sure that Will change
Wait...1,300 already?
I swear it was like 200 last time I checked.
Der Purpurwind now its 1.400
I subbed a week ago and he was at about 500. The BOTW videos are pulling in more viewers.
1.500 now
Just want to let you know that you deserve my first born child and you deserve more subs
Beautiful...
probably my favorite Hyrule Castle theme, you did a great job capturing how epic it felt!!! The reprises of old Zelda themes are even cooler in 8-bit :)
even kept it to 3 instrument channels and 1 noise/percussion channel. beautiful
Literally the best song in the game. Incredibly done in this style!!!
I just want to thank you for creating these 8-bit songs. I know it's probably not easy, and it sounds FANTASTIC. Keep it up, PLEASE.
Thanks man, I appreciate the support!
3 years ago? did it even excist then?
Not what I searched for but a million times better thank you
I have heard this too many times, well played
Same bro
Thank you! I love 8-bit songs!
This is the greatest thing ever
I love this games Hyrule Castle theme, really spooky and fitting for the Malice covered castle
I HAD A FEELING THAT THIS WAS BREATH OF THE WILD THANK YOU SO MUCH WGOEVER CREATED THIS 8-BIT THEME I LOVE BOTW AND YOU DESERVE DOUBLE OF WHAT YOU HAVE
It's so heavy, with a great sense of building tension and then bits of heroic flourish that really tell the story of the ascent to the final battle. A wonderful track and an excellent, faithful recreation of it here. Well done!
I am from 2042 and i feel so much nostalgia ;[]
rufusx98 same
:[]
So, do you play Oasis?
I'm from 2098 lol
I be living in 20002000
this channel is gonna blow up, i just know it. I hope you do more BOTW tracks!!
This is so good. It gives me goosebumps. Keep up the good work, Loeder!
Please do stone talus 8-bit. I'm sure it will sound amazing
Oh! You did it!
Great job btw!
Did what exactly
Clumsygamer 225 Ask Zelda to go out on a date.
3344 subscribers, nah. *Hits subscribe button* 3345 subscribers, better. Keep up the good work! :)
Somehow, Hyrule castle was the most atmospheric place for me. The end of my journey, and I'm storming my way through, wiping out all of the enemies now that I have all 4 divine beasts and the power of the master sword is at it's most powerful form. All to that final battle with calamity Ganon. Note: Calamity Ganon is really intimidating, but such an anticlimactic ending.
Breath of the wild is without a doubt always going to be remembered, because it was the series's turn back towards open-world
dont stop your killing all these!!!! truly great my wife walked down the aisle to Zelda theme from the orchestra cd so we both truly appreciated this!!!
ah~ Reminds me of my younger days playing on my Game Boy Color in the backseat of the family car on long roadtrips. Nostalgic!
I would love to see an 8-bit game with the soundtrack composed by you. This piece gave me nostaliga overdose. Keep up the fantastic work. Supportive fish man (Prince Sidon) would be proud of you.
subscribed - and, this is my favorite bg theme in the game, so good job!
This is bringing back flashbacks from my early childhood
1:32 love the blue lines theyre killing it here lol
I believe it came out as well as it did, since its a homage to every past Zelda game with the way the tune went. You can literally hear the 8/16 bit nostalgia from the days of Zelda's past.
I love the visual representation of the 3 sound channel for 8bit games
Definitively worth subscribing! I look forward to more tunes in the future!
this scratches my brain
this turned out way better than I expected it to
I don't know what I like more about your videos, the actual music or just watching the little bars go across the screen. It's really fun to look at for some reason
You just earned a new subscriber. May the goddess smile upon you.
You're climbing up those subs, man! Almost there!
I would do anything have this song play in the original Zelda game, would be SO COOL
Agreed. This version has a certain antiquity the original lacks.
Kinda bop ngl (Very good btw)
Wow, this is really great! Surprising how well this epic, orchestrated theme sounds in 8-bit.
I didn't know I needed this until now...
I could listen to this all day! lol
It's even epic in 8-bit! Great job
I'm about to cry, it's beautiful
Just occurred that this song begins with a mix between a march and a magma caverns ruins motif to establish its feeling of "the final ride". Deep, mysterious, ancient, foreboding and ruinous.
I need to keep that in mind for my own music.
I feel bad when I use the recommended feed for videos because it's so messed up, but this is just too good.
In my opinion, it's just as epic, good job.
the Link's Awakening sound comes through incredibly well in 8-bit. well done!
I'm definitely going to be using this in my videos. I love it
I'm new to your channel and was looking for this last night haha. Such a surprise to see it today. Nice work!
* The shadow of Hyrule Castle hangs over you.
* The malice of the Calamity oozes from every crack and crevice.
* The monsters and machinery stand between you and your opponent.
* Between you and the princess.
* Between Light and Darkness.
* As you step into the final gauntlet, you are filled with courage.
I'm gonna make so many people mad with this. XD
How
Awesome! I was hoping the second half would play the interior Zelda's Lullaby theme but I guess you wanted to stick to just one version.
I have absolutely fallen in love with your 8-bit versions of BotW music. I could easily imagine these being part of an actual 8-bit game. Absolutely amazing work on these!
The 100K are coming !
GG !
Never realised this theme was so good.
Wow I'm late to this, but I just want to mention how cool of a detail it is that the red/green/blue/yellow are so thematically fitting :)
The more, imo, hopeful sounding part had green and blue :)
I love this SO MUCH.
This music is just AWESOME
Brings back memories.
Subscribed because of this. This is so awesome.
Other Hyrule castles I've traversed couldn't capture that same feeling of the world on your shoulders as this game has. The sheer ruin of this castle is also unparalleled.
You should have way more followers, you're so good
this needs more attention than it's getting omfg
this feels weirdly nostalgic. great video :)
Absolutely adore this
I could be misremembering, but I'm almost certain there's a bit of Zelda's Lullaby in there somewhere, though it may be only when you're in the interior areas.
It also plays outside, although very faintly. I couldn't really include it in my rendition though, because of NES limitations. Doesn't matter too much fortunately, because you can hardly hear it in the outside version.
Ah good, I wasn't going insane XD Yeah, it works fine without it.
Labyrinth theme would be awesome
Labyrinth theme is basically lost woods theme as well
this is so satisfying
it sounds AMAZING
Just now heard this for the first time and I got goosebumps listening to it, very well done.
This is amazing. I don't even know what my 6 year old mind would have done if I heard this the first time I ever fired up an NES, or a few years later firing up a Game Boy. It sounds so good in 8 bit.
Bro I had to sub to this awesome music
it sounds so classic good job
I have to say: Your music is so epic!!! Please continue with this great and fantastic work.
This is a master piece
damn video game music has come a long way. I know this is an 8-bit rendition, but still, it's damn good.
Zelda Dungeon + Wind Fish + Zelda Lullaby + Zelda Main Theme = This Theme
1 year anniversary of this awesomeness.
this is pretty good! keep up the work!
Sounds epic in the game. Still pretty epic in 8-bit! This is an amazing Hyrule Castle, favorite for sure!! You've done amazing work here and in your other videos as well!
