Zelda Musical Bytes - Daruk's Declaration - Man on the Internet 

"I am Goron, and we never walk alone" is such a good line. It should be official.

Daruk: You are one of us; you are Goron. Revali: I can fly you can’t lol.

Champions' reaction to Link beating the Blights: Mipha: *Tells how happy she is to see him again* Revali: *Is surprised he managed to get on Medoh without flight* Urbosa: *Encourages Link to continue the fight against Calamity,* Daruk: "Sorry for DYING on you."

Daruk: Carry protection wherever you go Link: Uh, okay? *Link then discovers 99% of Hyrule is attracted to him* Link: WAIT A SECOND-

I really feel like Daruk’s the most underrated champion out of the four.

I Love how Mipha's diary says she is worried about Link, Revali Talks about his ability, Urbosa says she is worried about Zelda. And then there is Daruk. He writes about food. I've never related more to a character in a videogame

Sorry, but we all know his declaration is "DARUK'S PROTECTION IS READY TO ROLL!"

This song fits perfectly with Daruk’s story. His people are a brave, loyal group, but even they are in danger. The more they get through the stronger they get. But I would KILL for a 1 hour loop of this.

2020 in a netshell: " when did the world get so strange? Times and your friends will change."

Daruk is honestly the BEST champion of BOTW, and I’m glad we have such an epic song showing why that is now. Thanks guys.

That was...amazing. I was legit crying throughout the song (though i admit i‘m generally an emotional person). I remember, when I finally had my switch and played botw, I felt sad when I had to say goodbye to Mipha, Urbosa and Revali (he may be a jerk, but I just can’t hate him because he’s lovable in his own way. he’s my favorite, if that wasn’t obvious enough). But when I saved Daruk, I was first crying and then started to sob when Daruk told Link that, with Daruk‘s protection, he „will always be a part of him“ (I played with german voiceovers btw). When I think about it now, I guess that I reacted this way because Daruk was probably the closest thing Link could call his family (Mipha is an entirely different matter since she loved Link in a romantic way and I don’t plan on discussing it right now) and I get pretty emotional myself when I think about my own family and friends, who I love very dearly. Even though it’s still far away in the future, I can’t help but feel scared of the thought of losing them one day. It’s just generally very sad that Link almost lost all of his friends, and the worst part is probably that he only remembers fragments of of their time spent together while the others remember everything (that’s what the game implied at least) and him saying goodbye to Daruk broke me to pieces. Gosh, I really didn’t intend to write that much, but it happened anyway. I wonder how many people will even see this monster of comment. I just find it fascinating how a game makes me feel so much, even after almost 3 years since release. But honestly, the Zelda series in general makes me weak in so many ways, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s just how much I love Zelda. And for those who even bothered to read it until the end, I hope you have a wonderful day.

Daruk, the friend who has such a bond with you that he thinks of you as another brother to protect

That ENDING though! I’m definitely not crying

"you are Goron and you'll never walk alone" Is this a reference to you having Daruks' Protection

Lyrics (for everyone who wants to sing along ;)) : Strength of the mountain, strength of the stone Dig through the mountain we call home Stand and be strong, never stand alone! So long ago, simpler days Everyone went on their way When did the world get so strange? Times and your friends will change Strength of the mountain, strength of the stone As long as there is strength in these bones I will stand strong, protecting my home I am Goron! And we never walk alone! (Come fan the flame, brother in name) (Stand tall together, protect our home) I am Goron! (And we never walk alone!) Strength of the mountain, strength of the stone As long as there is strength in these bones I will stand strong, protecting my home I am Goron! (We never walk alone!) People in fear, people in need Let them all lean onto me Bonds forged in fire, formed in trial Cooled by the Breath of the Wild Strength of the mountain, strength of the stone (Come fan the flame) As long as there is strength in these bones (Brother in name) I will stand strong, protecting my home (Protect our home) I am Goron! (And we never walk alone!) Carry my name, carry the flame Hero, strand strong, stand everlong Come fan the flame, brother in name Carry protection wherever you go You are Goron, and you'll never walk alone

I think it would be really interesting if the line ‘Breath of the Wild’ was incorporated into the rest of the Champion’s Ballads. It’s a really unique way of uniting them all! Although that’s only if you decide to do the rest, and if you want to even do that. It’s your choice!

2:15 onwards, I am *shook*

I was actually searching up champions themes with lyrics and I was annoyed that Daruk wasn't there, so I'm glad, a few days later, this was made. Nyeh.

When you about to win a battle but then an absolute unit shows up with a super big blade

This is really powerful. I was moved to tears by this.

I still hear these lyrics every time i hear Daruks theme or motif. Probably my favorite of the 4. Despite it being this softer song you captured the vibe of Daruk and the strong brotherly spirit of the Gorons that I love.

Thank you so much. The Champions were criminally underused and deserve as much love as we can give them

DARUKS SONG IS READY TO ROLL

I love how when Daruk talks to Link, he either calls him "little buddy" or "Goro". The other Gorons also call him Goro. He's family

I can’t wait for Mipha and Urbosa to have these songs about how they fight for their people and whatnot, and then Ravioli just sings about how great he is.🤣🤣 Update: I was right. 🤣🤣🤣

Daruk, the Hot-Blooded Protector of Gorons, with a body of stone and a heart of gold... Truly a respectable figure of the goron people. And such a shock to see this golem protector be crumbled to nothing. May his legacy live on through not just his decendant, Yunobo, but through all of Eldin's people. He stood strong until the bitter end, protecting his home.

OMG IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM.

This makes me want to play Breath of the wild again, is so cool!

I love how triumphant every aspect of this song is. It really shows how bold and strong the Gorons are

1:27 when ur getting destroyed by enemies and ur high leveled friend comes and kicks their ass

I imagine Kass wrigting this song for the gorons to honor the Great Daruk's protection and his love for his people, while Link plays it in the ocarina of time to regain his champion ability after being infected by malice

Now We Need Mipha, Urbosa And Ravioli!

3 years later, and this is still my absolute FAVORITE song Moti has ever made! Kudos to you guys on capturing the best champion so perfectly!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Say this and was less excited for what the opener was going to be, but when the main chorus came in I completely changed my mind and it also felt the character in a way I have never say but was always there.

When I comment on these songs I usually make a detailed analysis on the lyrics and what I love about then but to describe this song I'll be quick and simple writing only one of the best lines: (3:01) _"Come fan the flame! Brother in name! Carry Protection wherever you go! You are goron! And you'll never walk alone!"_

I’d love to hear you sing the Gerudo Valley theme.

Therapist: Daruk with long legs isn’t real it can’t hurt you Daruk with long legs:

Daruk is my favourite champion and honestly 80% sure it’s because of this song

This song makes me sad that we haven’t got much time with the champions in the main story of botw, but since their spirits can interact with others like with Daruk being seen by Yunobo. It means that they can have a part in the sequel

Making a friend of a Goron is basically joining the world's biggest family of Bros. These big rockheads may occasionally take a little time to catch up with faster ideas, but of there is one thing they can call its loyalty to their friends and family. Daruk understood that better than anyone. The Champions were brothers and sisters in name, and he was essentially the morale maker of the team. Think about it! He is big, tough, yet holds back for the smaller teammates, but still pushes them to.be their best and will use his own body as a shield to defend them.

Daruk is criminally underrated, as is this song. Daruk was my favorite champion, and still is. There are just so many little touches to the song that make it just so perfect.

Your vocal range still amazes me. You’re definitely one of, if not my favorite, RU-vid channels.

Daruk is SUCH a great character, and this song probably shows the most feeling for him out of all the songs I've seen. 10/10

The choice of scenes to put together to sync up with the words of the song is so damn beautiful, especially at the point where "strength of the mountain... strength of the stone" lines up with the movements of vah rudania... It made me cry 👌

"We never walk alone." It seems like you sorta walked there alone when you saw the Bokoblins.

i actually teared up cuz hes my favorite character... God this messed me up i love it!

These fellas are the definition of "no man left behind" and I love it, they embody comradery

So does this mean... *all* the Champions get a lyrical adaptation?

Before Vid: *Sees Daruk song* You have my attention.... After Vid: O-0 *Okay...* You have *DEFINITELY* earned my respect for this..... You did Best Champion some *DAMN* well deserved justice!

This... this was AMAZING!! Can’t wait to hear more Zelda musical bytes!!

Darn it, Alex, now I'm crying over Breath of the Wild's tragic backstory....again! First, play through: tears for each soul who fell to the Calamity. Second play through: less tears, but still heartache. Third play through with DLC enabled: tears are back with a vengeance. Now this... I freaking love all of the Champions, and this song reminds me why. They were heroes who gave their all for their people. I just...feelings...I can't...WHAT ARE WORDS?!?! *brain crash due to inability to process intensity of emotion*

I have added this song to my morning routine and every time I listen to it, it makes me feel like I’m as tough as a mountain. I admit to tearing up to this multiple times.

Daruk's diary entry is literally the best. Urbosa is on Zelda Mipha is on link Revali is on his power And the best of all Daruk is on food.

Every time I listen to this song I end up with chills and tears in my eyes

Yo what the frick, how did I just find your channel now?? These lyric versions are so good!!!! They all gave me chills!!! So fantastic!!!

and im addicted to this song i have heard it 5 times now

Anyone else rewatching all the champions themes with age of calamity releasing, the remix of this theme for the death mountain stage was amazing, I could hear this tune as I played it. 👏👏

Daruk usually: brave and tough Daruk when he see doggo: AHHHHHHHHH

THAT is THE ballad of the champion Daruk. It includes all: His mentality, his origins and what he stands and fighting for. I love it. so. much. Thk u for your great work.

So today we had a football game for my youth league 112-0 we won. I taught my teammates this song and we started to sing this at half-time because it was 63-0, I already had 56 points then I got a concussion diving for a touchdown, (yes it counted), and my teammates started singing "You are Goron, and WE never walk alone." It was so sweet. (Edit: I went it the hospital in an ambulance, when they carried me out on the stretcher my team started to sing this song!)

Expectations: "Big OP buff Dobby" Reality: "he dead"

“Carry protection wherever you go” What is Daruk saying to Link here

So far, the three champions represented in song, are represented perfectly off what they are made to show, Daruk is a very protective Goron, the one to keep his people alive, even if it costs him his, Mipha is shown as a perfect motherly figure, which is absolutely how she was shown in botw, and revali is a cocky piece of feathery garbage

This song perfectly captures the essence of Daruk and the Gorons. They are strong, fearless, and carefree people but you can always count on them. I feel in the line "How did the world get so strange?" Daruk speaks for everyone in Hyrule and beyond. Times are changing but for the carefree you just keep moving and don't really have many troubles. The Goron perfectly represent that. What makes this so sad for me is seeing the ghost version of Daruk on the rock, looking over his land. He tried everything he could, but alas, died in protecting his people from the strange world. When he says "Carry my name, carry the flame" that's where it pulled my heartstrings, such a good guy did not deserve the fate he got.

Daruk parries the ground with his champion ability. He's nuts.

This was phenomenal! You did such an amazing job on this Alex!!

I honestly before I read the description predicted this Goron - Daruk's Protection Rito - Medli's theme Zora - Zora's Domain from Twilight Princess Gerudo - Gerudo Desert But I see you're doing all Breath of the wild so I was wrong lol

I will admit this song is so awesome, boy did it make me super sad! Like not in a bad way, in a good way, it's a super positive song. Just for some reason this song out of all of them resonated with me the most. It made me cry so much! Maybe the lyrics "We will never walk alone", "People in fear, People in need, let them all lean on me, Bonds forged in fire, Formed by trial, Cooled by the Breath of the Wild", "Strength of the Mountains, Strength of the Stone, As long as there is Strength in these Bones, I will stand strong, Protecting my home, I am Goron, and we will never walk alone", Carry my name, Carry the Flame, Hero stand strong, Stand Everlong, Come fan the Flame, Brother in name, You are Goron and you'll never walk alone". I don't know why these words resonate so much with me but they do. It makes me super emotional evey time I listen to it, but I can't stop listening to it.💖💖

This is incredible! Daruk is one of my absolute favourites in BoTW, how am I only seeing this now?! Love this, Mate! It’s gonna be stuck in my head for so long now XD

Didn't ask, still recieved. Thank you for this blessing, o' Gods of The Internet.

Daruk: I’ve come to make a declaration!

I’ve listened to this for the past 2 days and it EVERY time puts chills down my spine with the emotion that was put into it.

And thus, the Man on the Internet Team began another journey. They had already went through the 3 Routes of Undertale, the first Chapter of Deltarune, the strange world of Pokémon, and the Fierce world of Smash. Entering a new world, they sang tales of the mighty Champions of a Hyrule long gone. Alex sung the tale of Daruk, the Champion of the Gorons. (To be continued...)

The Zelda series is full of such fantastic music, I hope you keep doing more

They need to make a 1 hour loop of this!♾️

Daruk maybe the more... simple of the four champions, but you gotta admit, he’s the type of guy who WILL be a shoulder for you to lean on, he gives off this big brother type vibe that I just LOVE.

The Gorons are my favorite race in BOTW and this song does them justice.

The 13 dislikes are from the bokblins of the beginning

THE BEST GUARDIAN COMING IN

I love how all the champions had ‘Breath Of The Wild’ in the songs.

I feel like these four Champions songs should play when Link obtains each of their powers. I have an alternative ending to BotW that has to do with this. Maybe when the scourges explode, the Champions corpses appear in ancient caskets, and Link takes their body back to their hometown so a proper funeral can be held. And when Link defeats Calamity Ganon, he finds a tome, and on the last page, a revival spell, where each of the champions powers have to be performed in front of their body as their themes by this guy play. And at the ending to BotW, this occurs, and the Champions are returned to their families and their hometowns...

Being honest, the more I think about it, the more I think the champions were like a family, one whose time unluckily was cut short because of Ganon. Like, Daruk is quite like a father figure for them, and Urbosa being quite a mother in a sense, keeping them in check, but always caring for them. Revali being the elder brother that is maybe a little bit too teasing, but causes you to show what you are capable of. And Mipha being the young sister, quite caring of their siblings, and trying to avoid them getting injured. Being honest, it makes me wonder how would they have been of they hadn't died. They all are charming in their own way, and it's probably the time were the death of NPCs affected me in such a way. And this songs really capture the characters, I don't know how much has passed since I defeated Ganon, but I still go back to hear this songs, and they always take me back to the moment link sees their spirits.

Out of the four legendary champion songs, this is my favorite.

By far my favourite character in the game

Well darn it I wasn’t expecting to be punched in the feels going into this...but I really should have. XD

Gorons have a bond that no other race in hyrule has.

The first line was awesome and It felt like it could be apart of some hearty shanty or something, but it fits the rest of the song as well.

I thought what at the ending of the video I would hear Yunobo’s laugh waving to Daruk but at least I saw it so I’m satisfied 😄

Thank you. Playing this game was a treat. BOTW ost is underrated.

omg that's beautiful!!! you have to do other song from botw

WOO! NEW SERIES BABY!

1:05 literal chills :D

*When did the world get so strange?* i ask myself this daily

He actually put “ Breath of the Wild” in all the Champions’ song.

Well I guess I don't need my heart. This AND Revali have given me chills and driven me to emotional tears. These are AMAZING

I maintain that the only reason Gorons haven't conquered Hyrule is because they don't want to.

This was honestly beautiful to listen to, please do the rest of the champions!

Sidon. Mipha. Attack on Vah Ruta. Hyrule Castle.

I feel like these songs would be the songs that Kass would sing. His goal was to capture the champion's spirit within the songs snd these do it beautifully. Keep up the good work!

I oh so badly want this for all the other champions
