This one took some time. When I started working on this, I was certain it wasn't gonna sound good and that I'd have to give up on it. To my suprise I think it came out very nicely! I tried my best to stay within the NES's 8 channel limit, but I have no doubt that I missed some parts.
This cover mainly takes the instruments and sounds from ALttP's Hyrule Castle theme. Including the techniques used for the snare-rolls and drum crashes. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Hey folks, little reminder: If you like this video, I have made some other ALttP-styled covers of Zelda music as well! Here's a playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLjVTojiDW0-5TptG8q45nkxQRD13Q4FHA

You mention you use Famitracker for NES music, but what do you use for this?

@Armameteus 2 года назад

A legitimately impressive translation of the original. It doesn't just sound good, it sounds _faithful._ Reverent, even. This is a genuine triumph of your ability to understand and translate what is a fairly complex song into a simpler format with minimal loss or compromise. You picked all the right melodies and supporting instrumentation; it's clean and precise without feeling empty or diluted. Might be one of my favourites of yours based on technical achievement alone. Excellent work.

@painedfetus8210 2 года назад

there was like seven sounds playing at once at some point so not exactly faithful for gameplay with all the sounds, unless there was only one sound at a time excluding music. Snes had 8 sound channels so could only process 8 sounds at once

@elemangell2981 2 года назад

This song always gave me the same vibe as Snake Eater from MGS3. They've got those held notes reminiscent of early Bond films, they're both very gloomy and minor with hints of triumph peaking through, and they both beautifully and slowly escalate in tension and power. The only difference is that for the context of this song, you're actually climbing more than just a ladder.

It continues to baffle me that there are people who think BotW has a bad soundtrack. This track alone puts it in the upper half, but the rest of the soundtrack is genuinely incredible. Easily my favorite in the series.

@MarcusTalks1 2 года назад

I think the problem for the people who think it’s “bad” are more in the camp of that mindset because of how subdued the soundtrack is. There may be more tracks than any Zelda game that came before, but that doesn’t really matter when a majority of the time you’re hearing what sounds like a random arrangement of piano notes. I think the music is good, probably some of the best in the series. But I don’t have that connection with these songs like the older games, and I’ve only really gotten to hear the actual music by listening to it online. Some of the best songs in BotW are so quiet or being talked over in a cutscene.

@theleftfootedsultan 2 года назад

As somebody who generally isn’t a believer in BotW’s soundtrack, the top, say, ten songs in it are up there with the best the series has to offer. But, as another commenter in this thread already said, it’s not really present for so much of the game. 60% of the time in the game, you’re not hearing the good music. You’re hearing either nothing or a single piano, which admittedly sets the mood of the game well, but it’s almost never going to be something you listen to outside of it.
