I Played Legend of ZELDA Songs on Piano in Public! 

hahahaha. dont worry he didnt play the ocarina

It rained applause.

Specially because UK.... It's all fault of our prime bollocks ministers

And in britian to 0-0

its not canon

fr tho and it better be the day totk comes out or the anniversary of oot

A kid did it at our highschool talent show and then lost to a band that played "Brain Stew" by Greenday. I was gutted, even though I was 14 and loved Greenday then haha.

My school has two piano’s for student use during breaks and lunch, and every lunch period a kid plays Zelda, xenoblade, Mario, super smash bros, etc. he plays dozens of video games music.

@@lyndenhaineault9082 bro the xenoblade music too?

@@SawyboiWasTaken yup, I’ve caught him playing counterattack, engage the enemy, and mor ardain day theme.

Timestamp?

1:15

That’s how I feel everytime I hear ocarina of times intro.

Yes! Love that someone else caught that, too

Sorry for the delayed reply, life’s been hitting hard but seriously thanks for the synchronization of our energies it means everything rn

What’s the name of this song?

I hate zelda games shits to complex

​@@Doors067pacman might be more your speed.

You don’t even have to be that smart to play Zelda games. Just have like a first grade education. 😭 (some puzzles are hard tho and that’s what makes it fun)

Isn't it from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" ?

Isn't also from Detroit: Become Human?

thank you very much

Definitely and I believe he and many others will be. There a quite a few amazing artists who's works go into games and movies that are essential to music history.

I remember watching a video a while ago where classic musicians had to figure out if a song played in a simple melody was either Mozart or pokemon, and there were a few pokemon songs they genuinely thought were Mozart. I guess it goes to show that even with working on limitations of the Gameboy and other early consoles, composers for Nintendo knew their stuff :D

I think that chap was embarrassed but hopefully in time it'll be seen as a sincere compliment and not something to be embarrassed by.

@@charityquill4965 I also watched that video. Crazy stuff.

Great Fairy’s Fountain absolutely sounds inspired by Bach. Credit to the guy for knowing the OG! He might’ve been receptive to learning about Koji Kondo, but it ended up kinda awkward. “It’s a famous composer named Zelda,” is a pretty dismissive answer. You’re just assuming he won’t want to search it up later. Even old folks have heard of Legend of Zelda (Think Robin Williams.) So he could’ve been feeling like Boomer hate and just moved on. Just respond with confidence! “Legend of Zelda, baby! By the incredible composer, Koji Kondo!” or “Ocarina of Time, a true work of art in video games. You learn and play music as a core mechanic of the game!” That’s the way to do it, and warm people up to the merits in our favorite works.

Koji is a musical legend to.

@@pinkbeatle2012 *too

I mean it could be inspired by Bach :D I think some Link's Awakening dungeon music was OoT Title Theme reminds me of Debussy

It makes my eyes water every time. I'm 38 now. Link to the past will always be the best game and best music in the world for me. ❤❤❤

not to be a hater but out of experience i can say that he probably missed quite a few times but can just mask that really well this is something all good musicians can do but especially pianists

I strongly desire this.

That sounds amazing 😂

This makes me feel like I was born in the right generation

The last generation to have a recognizable childhood culture

Mariachi I style would be great, a lone piano playing it is just disappointing.

yes but honestly I can't understand why he's asking. This kind of music has nothing to do with Bach's style...

there is a bach's song that at a part sounds similar to great fairy fountain, but I don't remember the name lol

And Nobuo Uematsu

and thankfully he understood the magic of zelda:) - so he must be genius:)

Who the fuck is that? The song is by Zelda!

ikr? girlfriend is lucky, I would be swooning so hard 😍

That was from the Amélie soundtrack.

This is the second song I learned to play it's very satisfying and not too hard.

@@MrMuel1205 It's Yann tiersen if anyones wondering

i reckon that was his sister

They had an orchestral Zelda concert in my city and hearing it played by a live orchestra just overwhelmed me, I cried bro

It has one of the most influential peice of music in gaming industry.

Nintendo has never really skimped on the sound department. Their first party games always sound great and the hardware facilitated it even back when tech was weak. bonus fun fact: the reason the og gameboy was so effing big was because of the 1980s tech 4 channel synthesizer built in

@@misterturkturkle That is a fun fact and one that totally makes sense. The OG Gameboy has a surprisingly cool sound FX.

@@leeartlee915 years ago i stumbled on chiptune music and found that some artists were performing with modded gameboys as instruments. they put in higher quality sound jacks, and used hacked carts with a custom music program called Little sound disc jockey. but the rest of the hardware was totally standard. it was amazing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k_46qbQPqTw.htmlsi=yocQfjc7tHowQkyM Sabrepulse dark lightning was my favorite track

The original Pokemon soundtrack on the Gameboy is a perfect example of this. The composer was influenced by Bach and extensively utilized counterpoint to create music much more complex than should have any business on the GB.

I agree

Its like when you tell people Picasso was alive in the 70’s

Classical music fans who don't like Koji, Nobuo, etc... Are just not classical music fans. That's pretty much it. Ignorant Boomers... 🤣🤣

Rock Beato had a video talking about influence of video game music. Was pretty interesting.

I agree that people exist but we, people that appreciate them as the legendary composers they are, we are also humans like them and probably a greater number each year

Like at 5:09 😂😂

Very much agree. You can always spot the gamer going about their day basically ignoring the guy playing piano only to stop in their tracks when the tune catches them.

Gracias ✌️

Thank you so much 😊

Detroid become human

Yeah he did play it a bit too fast. Thats one of those songs where every second counts. But when you are nervous you speed up. Natural human reaction

Lol his gf didnt seem to mind, and thats all that matters in the end

For me I feel like a big part of it is it is a song I know, and I get to see what types of people stop for a song I like and what kinds of people move on. Also the performances bring me back to a time when I would enjoy those songs. This video was my favorite childhood game.

I like hearing the ambient crowd sounds in the background, makes it very immersive

ive got a feeling you're an anthropomorphic macaw

@@rojasrr hahaha

Please tell me you've done a cover of Kass's theme!!!

fairy fountain?

Absolutely! I DJ’d a friends wedding and played songs from games (their list). Had aunts, uncles, grandparents coming up and asking me who the composers were. Had a huge smile on my face every single time. Pulled out a pad and pen and told them to write down their name and email and I’d have the couple send them the song set. Had a great chuckle over it! Especially from the uncle that hated video games.

@@EikoMidoriHime why do the uncle hate video games?

@@LucioBvB09They just aren’t for everyone?

Koji Kondo the goat

@@Chewy_Toast Not a reason to hate them though

He’s the 🐐 of video game music

@@PS-lv1mr agreed, Koji Kondo and Grant Kirkhope are the only video game composers I know by name lol.

@@1mariomaniac mick gordon is pretty great too. He did the soundtrack to the new doom games.

Why are you speaking in past tense as if he isn’t still alive 😭

@@PS-lv1mr +Christopher Larkin

It really does shock me how few professionals composers even think about considering video game music as “art” considering I grew up with video game music and it’s the music that’s had the largest influence on my composing style. The day soundtracks from video games can be considered true art by the masses is the day I can die happy

@@DaemonWorx It's ironic too, more people will listen to video game ost than anything these professionals composers make. Ace zero, Final Fantasy, Metal gear, The Witcher, Persona... the list is endless really, Japanese Composers are nuts. I listen to these all the time.

@@DaemonWorx Yes!! Big agree with all of you lol

@@redbard4300 imagine forgetting halo

and the best thing about it is probably that most of them are beautiful on their own, but simultaneously designed to be able to be looped without distracting too much or getting on your nerves. So beautiful AND useful. 😊

Lol this is great, honestly the songs are perfect for literally any instrument

Ikr

Right?! Or when I could not solve, and Warcraft. The OG warcraft, with levels. Hahah what a time to be alive

Best of all time

I'm glad people get to have memories like this, and I wish I could say the same for myself. If I ever became a parent I'd hope for that sort of relationship with my kids ^^

NEAT! I learned something today!

Yea and Bach was really good at developing melodies, which is really important in video game music in the form of leitmotivs!

Also due to creative limitations of the typically one person who was responsible for the entire game (story, design, coding, graphics, sound, music, QA), and due to copyright constraints, it was often easiest and cheapest to just use a Bach piece verbatim :)

There was a video I remember watching a few months back, where 2 people were doing a quiz on music pieces and whether they were Mozart or Pokemon tracks, and was interesting to hear them back and forth and actually be puzzled on some as to who it actually was.

All modern music is really just Bach in principle

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jpo5Ro1quIo.html&ab_channel=OSTMovieScore There's a link to the song he's playing.

L'aprés-midi was the first song I ever learned for piano, love that song. Though that stranger sadly kinda butchered the third part of the song, and got the tempo of his hands really mixed up. The rest was really well done though

Absolutely agree!!!

I knew it was from Amélie the second I heard it! I completely agree that Amélie is an amazing romance, but what you forgot to mention is the very interesting things about the film. She likes to try new things, and do things people wouldn't think to do. I love the gnome. She also loves to make people happy so much, but she sees that someone's boss is really mean, so she takes action herself. She goes into this person's house, and changes things very slightly, like changing the doorknob from a round one to a rectangular one, or getting shoes exactly like his, but a few sizes down, and replacing his with the ones she got.

to me it sounds like Detroit become human

Koji's a legend :)

Kondo might be the most underrated composer of all time. The sheer amount of this output that isn't just great but *timeless* is unreal.

@@megamandrn001he’s underrated in the West because he isn’t from the West…

Ocarina of time is the game people started playing Zelda with (most of time) so it's also their favourite most of times

The second song is also from a video games called "valiant hearts" that came out around 2012-2013

They missing out!!!

FFX Back to Zanarkand is the most beautiful piece of piano ever played

to be fair, when they think of games they probably think of pong and pacman

@@twizz420 I got a NES as a kid, there were Zelda games i just listened to my bro play (45yo)

@@joddog That's a good one. For me it would be Aerith's Theme.

she was just wiping dirt bruh xd

​@@kanekifriedchicken yeah but fairy fountain is still one of the most saddest and relaxing songs i ever heard

Totally agree!

It makes me cry as well. I thought I was the only one. I feel better now.

same i cry too and its because i miss the good days when i first heard the song.... when we all did. :)

Was fine at first but then went hyper fast that threw me off.

A Sims 1 build mode suite would go so hard

was that mall lobby by any chance inside the quincy market building/faneuil hall marketplace? i once played the elder scrolls theme in there

It's also in the ad at 4:03

Ur amazing

I feel like saying Koji Kondo would have saved his embarrassment. Saying Zelda kinda came across as condescending

@@pentax2551 He probably blanked on the composers name or he would have said that

@@lobaxxI know I would have.

While true, the guy obviously had no idea what he was talking about, the great fairy theme sounds nothing like Bach. Style is way too modern.

@@marfdasko Yeah, he was clearly just trying to sound like he knew something.

Fairy Fountain is inspired a lot by Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu so he probably truly recognized the song just mistook the composer. Listen to Chopin's song and you will hear Fairy Fountain

if you know chopins fantasie impromptu i doubt you’d get mixed up between bach and chopin ahahah

Fairy fountain was actually inspired by “morning glory” by Tatsuro Yamashita, mariya takeuchis husband. Listen to it and you’ll recognize it instantly

Also, in my opinion, it is probably one to the best song is all of Zelda

Absolutely. Gerudo valley has always been my favorite Zelda song. It’s just so unique from anything I’ve ever heard before, while also encapsulating the beauty and power of the Gerudos. It’s such an amazing tune.

Gerudo Valley still slaps!

Gerudo Valley is my favorite. It always hits my heart somehow. There’s so much spirit in this song 😭😍

I still love Gerardo valley

OoT was the first game my father ever showed me as a child. I would sometimes just fall asleep with the start screen on, the music is so beautiful

I get teary eyed everytime I hear it brings back so many childhood memories, to be a kid again would be a dream

@@steven-le8fo I fully agree 😢 hearing the Zelda music brings me to a time with 0 responsibility lol

Yeah that hits nice and good right in the nostalgia

This cover of Joe is my favourite by far... I love the kind of ragtime style he put into it. 🥰

And the shop music…

Yeah the intro filled me with such a sense of mystery as a kid and whenever I hear it, the ghost of that wonder comes back to me. I can’t feel the same level of wonder in video games as an adult that I could back then, and this song always reminds me of that and takes me back to how that felt.

YES 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I remember my mother walking by and looking out the windows, so I asked her what she was looking for and she said the horse! XD I pointed at the horse on the screen and she was a bit shocked. (we did sometimes have horses around our house)

For me it is song of storms. Something so chilling and nostalgic about it that makes me feel happy

so true tho

“Jimmy turn off that game and go outsi- wait i’m at the mall”

I mean occarina of time was released In 1998 , the parents could have been kids when they heard these songs

​@@tastyjason4136you also forgot the remake for 3ds

@@tastyjason4136 the first zelda game was released in 1986 titled "the legend of zelda" so its very possible the parents played it when they were young. fun fact, occarina of time is the 10th game in the series

It kind of sounds like the opening song to Detroit: Become Human

@@misshorton2163 My thoughts exactly as he started playing it lol

@@misshorton2163 It is Comptine d'Un Autre Été from the movie Amelie. The movie is as beautiful as the music is.

TrIfOrCe Of CoUrAgE

Sounds like he played the notes wrong in SoS

So many of the zelda songs are crazy addictive, some of my favourite are the title and outset island from windwaker, too many to say from OoT and SS as well as so many of the background themes from BotW.

Mines the great fairy theme it's so enchanting and graceful

Agreed with Song of Storms! It feels like a constant song that you could watch go on forever

I think that feeling is intentional and tied to the origin of the song in the game. You get the song by approaching a man in the windmill as adult Link and he shares with you the song a boy had played long ago to make the windmill spin faster. Go back to the past and play the song there as child Link and you literally become the origin for that song. Which I assume ties into the song itself looping back to its own beginning. At least that's how I've always interpreted it. It's a genius piece on its own but for me became so much better with the in-world lore from the game.

When other people play: The piano is on fire, everyone is watching, it's the most beautiful thing you have heard all week When you press one single key: Everyone in a 6-mile radius dies from a stroke

Are you terrified of them because of SM64?

@@TheAbsol7448 Nah, I never got to that part in SM64. I do have an issue with falling penguins tho.

I’m only scared of them from playing Super Mario 64, at the age of four. That’s why I have social anxiety, and insomnia. Don’t get me wrong, I love piano _music,_ not pianos. I know, it’s weird, but…

I'm right there with you. Something about it being played so beautifully on a classic piano just hits different.

Hearing the Fairy Fountain being played on any instrument will hit differently

thats hitted hard to me too , im 38 ans i growed up with ocarina of time ,

💯

I thought it was just me

The title song always gets me... Hauntingly beautiful

Facts. First time I've cried while sitting on the toilet watching RU-vid 😂

I've never really sat here and listened to piano before, but i'm quickly finding out that i too cry from hearing it. Is this normal lol? That title song was just amazing

@@toastyy1455 its called nostalgia. And from good memories. People who played zelda some time ago may drop a tear while hearing it
