Dragon Roost Island theme song (live) 

This is still the best adaptation of this piece. There's such intense emotion in every note of it. I used to listen to both the original and this live performance on repeat for hours while studying in college 15 years ago. I'd often end up in tears. And I still do.

if it means anything this is the song that got me into playing violin!

Koji Kondo is the real Hero behind almost all Zelda games. He made my childhood with his music.

Mandolin harmony line from 1:06 is perfect. Really a spectacular arrangement. True to source & tone but offering a whole load of new emotions. Brilliant, one of my favourites.

I remember watching this a few years ago when I was like 9 or 10 :-) 15 now and I still love this so much. Go Zelda!!

Is there anyone here from 2019? No? Understandable..... This video literally came out five months after i was born😅

I was 13 when this was put up im now 24 and i still love it

I just need the violin sheet music and my life would be complete.

These guys are masterminds at their craft. So many little nuances, this is a ridiculously good cover.

20 years after this was originally posted, and I still come back to this song. I played it through high school, through college, through grad school, and now as a full fledged adult doing adulting things. It's provided me the escapism and euphoria I've needed, regardless if I was studying for a test or burning the midnight oil on a work related project. This piece truly proves that music has the immense power to transcend both time and space. Thank you for keeping it alive for new generations to enjoy on RU-vid.

i remember seeing this in middle school around 2008/9 so strangely nostalgic

this is one of my favorites performance of this concert.. fantasctic..

The best cover ever, for a game song 👍🏿

One of the best, if not the best, songs in a Zelda game....No other Zelda song has this feel to it, it's happy and sad at the same time...

Can't believe this was nearly 12 years ago.

our parents when they see us playing games with cool themes like this they're like "that's nothing" but when they hear it without knowing its from the game they're like WOW

Wow, check that out. Half a million views. If I had monetized this, I could have made around 20 dollars in 7 years. Anyway, thanks for watching this thing I... had barely anything to do with.

this is like my favorite island song in the game and second favorite in the game and like 4th in the whole series, I LOVE THIS SONG!

I'm in tears!

Band of legends, the best VGM playing ensemble I've heard. The violinist plays incredibly lyrically, Arita and the dude with the Punk Is Dead shirt do great solos, and the bassist really is a force to be reckoned with.

Simply AMAZING!!!! 😭 I love to play this song when I practice my Alto Saxophone. If we don’t have any concerts coming up, sometimes I’ll play it the whole time. Well done!!!!

It sucks that noone plays adventure, old style or medieval music anymore there so beautiful

god that violin solo put chills down my spine.

because Zelda music has true emotion in it, it's hard not to cry, it's just so touching.

There are 50 morons who gave this thumbs down. Well done. Awesome piece of work

This music is so beautiful.I can honestly say it is the most beautiful music Ive ever heard in my life and its on a video game you find all powering inspiration in the most unexpected places

1:08 is so chill, I love it.

Whenever I’m lost, I come back to this video

Me encanta, me fascina, un sueño convertido en música

Man, i really am addicted to zelda songs, but i really gotta say, out of all ive heard, this is the best version of dragon roost ive ever heard. props to the band man

destroying that replay button

I can never watch this without a smile on my face :D ♥

1:52 ... shit gets real for that violin player.. I can feel her love for music. all the pain in her life and her definite understanding of video games as an art form.

so much fun playing along with this. really does bring me back to when the only thing that mattered was playing video games and saving the world.

anyone watching in 2024?? this is by far the best cover on yt after all these years.

Die replay button!

I cant explain how much I love this, AMAZING

2019?

My favourite tune of Wind Waker. If there is EVER another 'Mario & Zelda Big Band Live' similar to this i will fly down to Japan especially for it. Amazing

wind waker = one of the best zelda games ever the sea exploration aspect was so bomb it was the most freedom i've ever felt in a zelda game so fun

Over 10 years old!? I watched this when I first got into the game- I can't believe how old this video is! I hope I could re-play this game again in the future- I miss it so much... This is still an amazing video! 💙

I honestly cry ewery time i listen to this awsome piece.

This is truly amazing. This is one of my favorite Zelda songs, and when I see it preformed as epic as this... Such a beautiful sound. Especially when the violin comes in for the first time.

that was chillingly beautiful I always loved stopping by that island just to hear that music fade in for a second had this exciting, aboriginal sound that was so tranquil at the same time wicked sick mandolin mini-solos at 2:19 amazing range for the violinist

I haven't forgotten about this

Wonderful rendition. Great musicians all around, particularly the violinist.

>sequel to tp should have this somewhere >amazing violin solo, there are no words for it >it gives you chills

I watched this years ago. They ate this up. 🥺

these songs bring so many memories and zelda games back. sob sob

goddamn this is soooooo good! the violinist kills it. gotta love the solo action in their too. everything is amazing!

The Legend of Zelda will never die, it will stay a Legend, no matter how many COD will be release in the futur!! ;)

Forever I'll be listening this beautiful song (,=

I'll be listening to this in the year 2525, if man is still alive

your right man, this is so beautiful it gives me the chills

This is AMAZING! W00T! I just dug this back up from my old favourites. I... *Speechless*

this gives me chills down my spine so bad

This music is so beautiful. It reminds me much of the game I played 5 years ago... And I can't believe i'm tearing up as I type this, because I can't get over how brilliantly composed this music is. Thank you so very very much.

I keep on coming back to this video! I really want a mandolin, baw. Love the Wind Waker.

I know this was posted so long ago but I just wanted to say thanks for posting it. Man this is so awesome. They do this piece such justice, it almost brings a tear to the eye.

*wipes away tears* Beautiful song..beautiful memories..

so beautiful.... Life can get tough, but when in doubt, play this song and all your worries drift away.

Oh my god, I loved this song so much. I can't even describe...

what an amazing redition of this beautiful piece of music.

Amamzing, so touching, its like a poem!, these guys that write music for Zelda are so....Grrrrr

How am I just now finding this. Wow bravo!

Wonderful. One of the best Zelda songs.

This is by far the best piece of music in any Legend of Zelda game ever.

when i was a child of 6 i was playing that game and this was my first amazing music ever, still makes me cry of the good memorie's! thanks! amazing!

Every time summer rolls around I always play this song...easily one of my favorites.

Man I was trying to find this song on youtube but could not. Thank you.

my skin tingled when the violin came in! =O such an amazing group of artists!

Priceless... Timeless... Simply Amazing

The violinist in this... No, all of the musicians in this were brilliant. I love it.

Oh god. Listening to this gave me the shivers

This music is beautiful, beyond my comprehension.

Man, its been awhile since Ive heard this. Still magical

This is one of my favorite songs! Could listen to it everyday!

Hearing this song makes me happy and sad. Happy that I played this game. Sad that I don't have it anymore. I need to get this game again.

Everything about this is fantastic.

You really don't get how amazing the music scores in a lot of LoZ games are until you've actually seen them played live.

I don't know how Mr.Koji Kondo makes Zelda feel alive with his music...Thank's to him we have great music for great games!

This is seriously one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I would stop at Dragon Roost Island all the time just to hear the song

Oh, i definitly wanted to be there! Nice work!

I love this song the best from Wind Waker, and played in instrumental is breathtaking :)

What an amazing performance!

Ich liebe es! Einfach nur geil... die würde ich gerne mal Live sehen, allein schon wegen den ganzen schönen Zelda Songs die es gibt. Echt genial!

Mad skills. Those guys are GREAT musicians.

Zelda will live forever, until the end of time people will be playing the legends we all grew up with....

My favourite song from my favourite zelda game ever! Just listen to that violin.....it's a melody from heaven! The guitar is interesting too.

Orchestrated, this is one of the best Nintendo songs of all time...^^

I love all Zelda games, this gives me memories which makes me wanna cry

I always loved this song when running around on dragon roost island but THIS version is so even more amazing D8

The first time I watched this, I was nearly in tears. The Dragon Roost Island theme is my favorite Wind Waker song. Maybe out of all the LoZ games. Even more than the Gerudo Valley theme! xD This is so amazing and actually...beautiful. That's how amazing it is. I cry over video games a lot. I cried at the end of every Zelda game or Final Fantasy 7 game.

Such a happy feeling of remembrance when I hear this xD It makes me want to sail open waters with this song playing in the background!

Running on a huge plain of grass with mountains all around the place and a waterfall sound at the horizon. Then you realise that someone important is on top of the hill so you run as fast as you can to join with that person. All this under a huge blue sky. That's what I'm seeing right now.

The girl with the violin must be the new win waker... Domo arigato (thank you very much) for this beautiful song!

i am litteraly 21 years old and i am in colledge for music and i am crying right now great job violinest to ever thought of adding in a viola for more melody?

It gives me the chills.. its amazing.

But it doesn't change the fact that you did almost everything and loved doing it! You have your memories.. and if you're like me, you can go back a bunch of times and do it all over again.

best version of this song ever :3 i loves this theme from that game
