Hylian Ensemble - Ancient Castle Ikana 

"You shall see with your own eyes...Just what kind of thing true darkness really is."

"I grant you a soldier who has no heart. One who shall not falter in the darkness."

The lore of Ikana is one the deepest, darkest, and most fascinating mysteries in the Zelda franchise. If only Nintendo would explore on this further.. atleast give us a canonical book, like Hyrule Historia, but with backstories and unexplained Zelda lore. Especially stuff about Termina, and all the juicy dark stuff from TP and the interlopers. Heck, give us a whole series of chapter books explaining stories and loopholes and Zelda timelines!!! I'll take anything!!! C'MON NINTENDO, I WANT MORE LORE 😭

I feel like ikana was an underrated lore aspect of the series. Id love to know more about it.

Ikana believe how great this is.

Please never ever stop making music... I'm so incredibly happy this channel is active again.

I love how this song just exudes a sense of authority.

The dead don’t rest in Ikana!

TLOZ equivalent of LOTR's land of the dead. I always loved the sense of mystery and ancient lore that accompanied this area in the game. Lovely remix btw.

You released this on the same day as BREATH OF THE WILD. That day was the best day ever for Zelda fans.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked 90,000 times. Are you just one person working on these projects? I just discovered this channel recently, and almost instantly fell in love. Improvements of the Zelda songs we all know and love? Hell yes! Keep up the good work, this is great!

its hard to find alot of stuff about ikana at all. this song blows me out of the water. this is so damn impressive. when i played and first heard the song and seen the area of ikana i loved it. but i always felt there could be more with the song to add to the atmosphere of the castle and this song really does the trick. great work.

so far this is my favorite one because it stays so close to the original

Your work needs to be on spotify

You've kept and reinforced the epic/tense ambiance of this theme :)

If I could compose music for a Zelda game, I would make it sound edgy, unsettling, and scary. It would invoke a sense of urgency and fear, making you want to get out of that dungeon as fast as possible.

As usual, you guys never fail to deliver.

Words can't describe how much I love your remixes xD Their so freaking epic; good on you.

Nice this is the best song I have heard

the beginning is magnificent

This is absolutely amazing

*Oh, insolent one who has brought the unthinkable into a land as dark as Ikana...*

Ruined? why you say ruined? This is epic!!!

Being in a band ensemble make this even cooler

finally! after all those years without a "ruined" Ikana's Castle song :3

Oh amazing :D ! can you (re)make the Stone Tower Temple ? or enlarge your musical directory and make the Hyrule Castle from Wind Waker =)

oh yes oh yes oh GOD YES!!! just came in my own face thanks alot guys!

Castle Ikana... I love it.

I love these takes on all the epic songs! Please do Stallord theme!

This remix is just perfect. that is all, thank you

I'm glad I subscribed to you. what is it? 2 years or something? honestly, I can't remember. but your music is the best keep up the awesome work

SHURIMA! YOUR EMPEROR HAS RETURNED!

If this is ruined, then please, ruin some more!

my personal lynel slaying theme.

Daaaaamn son, this one is awesome! Is this one also with your new drum samples? Because they sound alot better now. In the time of your absence I've listened countless hours of your music. It is clear that you are going for a new sound instead of doing the same again. It is working out great for you! I love it! May I ask why actually the change of overall sound? I'm genuinely interested! Like did you learn something else/new or did you have an important experience the past year?

Do new hyrule castle theme from BotW!

Awesomely haunting

I can imagine Stone Tallus sounding quite good!

wooooow se escucha realmente original

my fav track from MM. Damn, how it kicks in in the game.. almost dropped the fucking controller..

Wow! You've been busy.

Ikana will rise again

One word. Eargasm

6 people forgot to bring a powder keg

This is damned good

I know you focus primarily on Zelda, but can you make a History Maker instrumental? I can't find a good full version for choir and Spring Concert is in a few weeks.

I LOVE YOU

EPIC!!

14 people didn't make past the Redeads ...

Sounds like a Zelda Sith theme (0_0')

OH MY F*CKING GOD IT IS GREAT

so epic

Even in undeath, I would serve

All hail Lord Ains - Uh I mean Igos Du Ikana

Why are you so good at this? I just don't get it :P

i think Ikana King.. has Ganon looks..

this song always reminded me of Conan the barbarian

I just beat this castle.

10 Stalfos watched this

It look's like that he has seen my comment.

555 likes currently. I guess that's sort of like 666.

HURRAY FOR RUINING IT!! XD you earned a like, looking forward to the next one you "ruin" lol

Huh, this could be a Fire Emblem soundtrack

Is it me or my Marvel Fan ass read Hylians Assemble? Would love to see the crossover of them in any form

breath of the wild Better? Feeeeeeeeble!

I feel like if they somehow worked Ikana into botw2 that would be cool
