Legend of Zelda - Main Theme on Marimba 

A girl I met at district orchestra auditions told me she played the marimba. We started talking over that summer, and I did my research on this instrument. I sent her this video to confirm it, and to see what it could do when played well. Nine years later, we're married. Figured I'd come back after seeing this in my suggested videos category on an entirely different Google/RU-vid account. This piece, aside from being amazing, has a particularly powerful sense of nostalgia for me. Thank you.

Imagine how often these boys flamed each other for screwing up and making everyone redo it.

Legends say that this video only appears once a generation. May we pray to see it once again in our lifetimes.

"We still don't use sheet music! Everything is done by ear." excuse me _what_

3 men = triforce

Finaly something good in the recommendations!

It's the song my son (r.i.p.) always whistled. He was a Zelda aficionado. Thank you for this.

I don't know what it is but all of these videos with Legend of Zelda music on marimba are incredible. The sound of the marimba is just SO perfect for the music, so much so that I actually prefer these interpretations more so than the actual music, plus this was 9 YEARS AGO. What these guys did is incredible, truely.

Why is it that legend of Zelda has the best melodies ever

this was a catchy but strange old navy commercial

I started off listen to this while mowing, now I'm cutting grass w/ a sword. Oh, an emerald!

This literally brought me into marimba. Now I got accepted to a local orchestra :)

wow 4 years in youtube and finally I found something good in the recommendation shit

And suddenly everyone is getting this in their reccommendations.

This is beyond illuminated

it’s been a decade and it’s still the best I’ve ever seen

I found this in recommendations in early December 2016. This is from July 2011. *clap* *clap* *clap*

Okay guys, see you again in 8 years when RU-vid recommends us this vid again

I used to watch these videos in 5th grade thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Fast forward 5 years and I'm headed into 10th grade getting ready to audition for state with a marimba solo. You guys were one of my biggest inspirations, thank you for introducing me to melodic percussion :)

been watching this video every few years and still my fav version of this song

me at 7 pm: i''l watch one more video me at 3am: legend of zelda on a marimba

The camera quality for this being 10 years ago is insane

11 years. Still as memorable as ever

I have never played a Zelda game, but I get emotional every time I listen to this version of the theme. I first heard this YEARS ago, and it made me tear up. IOW, keep making music, friend! ❤

It's been years since I've seen this. Thank you RU-vid Recommendations!

I'd feel bad for the friend who messes up at the end and they're all like "COME ON MAN! WE WERE SO CLOSE!"

RU-vid videos either blow up quickly and die, or they stay hidden long enough for them to appear 12 years later as mythical legends

It took me twelve years to reach this, and im glad it did.

Old man: “it’s dangerous to go alone! Take this” Old man: *hands me the link to this*

Ahh, the most emotional percussion instrument. So beautiful. So majestic. (I was talking about the triangle.)

its just him and the boys playing a song they like... Buiteful

Years later, and I still love every beating seconds of these guys playing!!! I wonder what they're up to now...

five and a half years and suddenly it's there. on my recommended page. RU-vid... what the fuck? Great work though

I love the fact that this song brings back memories of a game ive never played.

Got recommended today...how did i miss this hell of a masterpiece? 🌟

Holy crap this just unlocked a memory of me and my class watching this in my elementary school’s music class

finding a 2011 video in 720p is the most amazing thing about this

I got the chills when they hit the main chorus part. Incredible.

Girls sleepover: "Oh I think Brendon likes you!" Boys sleepover:

11y later and I finally get to see this video again. It's an absolutely beautiful cover and I don't think it could be any better great job guys.

This gives me an overwhelming urge to barge into people's homes and destroy their pottery.

I now desperately want to own a Marimba and do this song. And have cooler friends.

After 12 years those RU-vid recommendations are still running strong

Always a classic, back in my recommended. Thank you gods of the algorithm. See all of you in another few years. 👋

Brothers and Sisters once again we are re-united by the youtube recommendations.

Autogenerated captions: [Music] Deaf People: Its beautiful

This is a masterpiece. Thank you algorithm.

RU-vid - is there a reason you are recommending this almost 9 years after it was uploaded? *I needed it sooner.*

I hope they know that about 1 million of those views are from me

ON JULY 24TH, 2011, A FANTASTIC VIDEO CAME OUT. Not a single one since then has been able to top it.

Its been 10 years and this masterpiece is back ಥ‿ಥ

5 Years later this video pops up under my recommended.

When she asks if u play an instrument

Just WOW! I could never have imagined that something like this could even happen. There are no words...

I have no idea how this got recomended, but I love it!

I first saw this when my music teacher showed us what a marimba was but since I've loved Zelda xD

The pizza guy knocks on the door and hears this from inside

This music describes the entire hero adventure. It introduces the hero, shows it development, his jorney, the victory, the fall and the overcome with all the journey’s elements, finishing with a conforting and epic conclusion.

How cool! My late husband and I spent many happy hours playing Zelda on our NES, so this reminds me of those fun times. Thanks. ❤️

All those dislikes are people that have never played Zelda and can't appreciate the time it took these boys to make this.

I cannot think of a reason why someone would dislike this I can’t-

Me and two friends played this about 3 years back at our percussion concert and it's one of if not my favorite high school moment. Thank you guys for this

I still remember watching this in 2014 for the first time... God.. a decade passed way too fast.

Old man: It's dangerous to go alone! Tak- Wait, there's three of you?

Uploaded 5 years ago and recommended to me now in 2016. This is awesome

It's been awhile, thanks RU-vid for bringing this back to my attention

This was one of the first videos I watched on RU-vid when I was younger and it came back

Words can’t describe how beautiful this song sounds, especially played on the marimba

This seems like something that would go viral in 2011 *oh wait*

I still can't believe of the hundreds of arrengementes I've heard over the years of this piece, this is the best one, and is done by ear no music sheets. Mind blowing

i used to be in band class as a percussionist and this just brought a whole bunch of memories flooding back good ones so thanks you for this

I do like how there's 3 of them playing this, I think of them as being the three triangles in the symbol of the Triforce. The three triangles of the Triforce represent the virtues of power, wisdom, and courage.

Just imagine what’s going through their neighbors minds when they hear this at 1 am

I first got recommended this in 6th grade and now I’m a senior about to graduate from high school and got it in my recommendation again, time sure does fly

That coordination is insane

Nobody: The whole percussion section when the music teacher leave for 2 seconds:

Her: He’s probably cheating on me right now Me and the boys:

This made me undeniably happy, I don't know why. Literal smile right across my face as you played.

I come back to watch this every once in a while. This song is literally the embodiment of adventure.

*walks out of shrine of resurrection* Me: stick, i need stick, give stick

Quarantine Day 9, no food no water, but we found these instruments.

Loved it. How ever did you manage to stay in time with all the seperate sequences? Amazing.

Dude, I watched this som much in High School that I guess RU-vid just REMEMBERED! Man, I miss playing marimba.

RU-vid's recommendations are a little late to the party... This was amazing tho.

6 years and I HAVEN'T known about this!?!?

So I looked up marimba to hear it, and man I got to hear it here. Well done lads. Very inspiring.

Just now I have had the honor of experiencing this masterpiece again.

Oh hello there weary traveller! I see the RU-vid algorithm has brought you here too!

Wtf RU-vid, why did you recommend this video now??

huge props to you guys for making my day better

A decade after you uploaded this video youtube recommends it to me. Way to go!

I play percussion, so I can imagine all the times the mallets slipped while doing a roll and having to start over

7 years ago and I'm still here 2019 they did not deserve a single dislike they could have not done that better

The Marimba is my favorite instrument to hear, in the entire world. I used to be a concert harpist, and even that big, beautiful bastard of an instrument doesn't hold a candle to the joy the sounds of a Marimba brings me.

Damn it's been already over a decade.. And this is still one of my favorite take on the zelda theme, to the point where I remember the name of the instrument only to RU-vid search it everytime I wanna listen to it.. Well done guys

This gives me heavy bardcore vibes I love it

You are *the Legend of Marimba*

Nobody: Yt: Do you want to see it the 5th time? Me: hold my sword

Getting this video in your recommended should be a federal holiday

Well RU-vid. You brought me here again. And I'm not disappointed
