Thanks again for listening, Brad! I had kinda underestimated this one to be honest xD . It's a long trailer, with a lot of distinct segments. But, fortunately, my "trailer music covered the next day" streak is still alive! =D
@@demantim Lot of complex chords, how did you figure it out? In terms of listening to a piece and then playing it i have the most trouble with recognizing hard chords
Thanks Backpack! The downside is having to then notate it onto sheet music =P . It's a hassle, but people seem to be glad there's sheet music so I'll just keep doing it!
@@demantim have you tried automatic generation? There are some really good music sheet generators software that convert your MIDI piano playing to music sheets, with some errors that you could quickly correct afterwards, Logic Pro has a good tool for that
I just wanted to say thank you for making these songs, you have been a source of inspiration for several years now Zelda music has a distinct feeling that you capture very well :)
I could definitely hear a difference between this trailer's music and the one's we've gotten before. They weren't hiding anything this time, going full out! And so were you, amazing work!
This is incredible! Your cover of the cinematic trailer for breath of the wild, however many years ago that was, was one of the first pieces I picked up when I first started learning the piano, and now it feels like we've come full circle with this one! Fantastic job, and thank you for providing us with all these amazing covers for all these years
Something about 2:10 makes me feel like this adventure is coming close to the end of the story for zelda. If the timeline loop is correct, we could be seeing a whole new timeline. That would be awesome.
I love you work, de Man, keep doing your best, brother. All I wanted to say is that saxophone in the trailer was brilliant in so many ways, I'm still struggling to explain why the sax just makes so much sense, it was so fun and unexpected but at the same time was never out of place. Pretty amazing trailer music magic.
@@demantim It sure was. It was cheesy and cool at the same time. There better be sunglasses in the game, that saxophone was absolutely magical. So bold and confident, ol Nintendo still knows how to trick a fella outta his money. God bless you and your family, de Man, I really appreciate your work.
@Tim de Man - Game Music It sounds like it! What are your thoughts about the theme we hear in the first trailer towards the end, along with Ganondorf's theme? Do you believe they both for Ganondorf or perhaps Demise is the skeleton we see?
@@demantim It's just strange that scene we get with the long hair and the Ganondorf we see in the game doesn't have long hair... hopefully we'll learn more when the game releases!
Even though there's a good chance of this theme not playing in the actual game, the song itself is beautiful. It takes the main Zelda theme, but brings in the melody of BotW's main theme, Hyrule Castle's theme, and Ganondorf's main theme. If anything, the song alone probably makes this trailer my favorite out of the two "BotW/TotK" story trailers. My favorite parts are either when the BotW theme starts to kick in in a slower and more somber tone, or when the Erhu kicks in when Link is on the flying machine, with the trailer just ramping up as it keeps showing more and more of his own actions in the game world. I also noticed in the shots where the BotW theme plays, it's Link re-exploring the original areas from the game, and instead of making use of his new abilities, he's just doing things like climbing, gliding, and running around, whilst the erhu kicks in when Link is doing more of the new stuff, and when they start to show off the new features.
Yeah, they're being very clever with quoting BotW's sound and melodies when Link is exploring on the surface. It was something I noticed during the Gameplay Demonstration as well! I think they quote BotW's main theme in a very tasteful way here, and the new melodies are super expressive!
@@demantim I love how each area seems to have it's own core instrumentation. I watched your stream a bit ago where you talked about how you noticed the surface had Piano as it's instrumentation, with the skydiving theme mixing in a bit of piano at the end when Link is about to hit the ground. Then it seems the skies above Hyrule have woodwinds or Sax. I wonder what the underground area's main instrument will end up being.
So quick! Great rendition of one of the best trailers I've ever seen. Also looking forward to hear what you think about the music and all the weird but delightful stuff it got going
That was incredibly fast on the draw, and wonderful to listen to! You can hear all kinds of themes throughout the song, such as Zelda's lullaby, the Castle theme, Ganon's theme, the Main Zelda overworld theme, Breath of The Wild's main theme, as well as bits and pieces of Hyrule Warriors too!
I’ve been listening to this while studying every single day for the past month and it still gives me chills. The mailman is on his way right now with the game, at long long last
I can't express enough how much your music has enhanced my gaming experience. It adds an extra layer of immersion and emotion, making each moment even more memorable. Thank you for the incredible compositions!💗
We all, Zelda comunity, are so lucky to enjoy your talent. I hope one day Nintendo take a look to your work and invite you to compose something special for the best video game saga. Greetings from Mexico, land of the Human Zonai race, Mayans
With the official music we’ve heard so far, I’ve been crazy impressed with how similar it all feels to your speculation pieces, especially with that upbeat slightly jazzy feel. Incredible work Tim, you might just hit the nail right on the head with this soundtrack
This sounds amazing! You knocked it out of the park once more with these piano arrangements! Also, I noticed something that is also in the music for the trailer itself: at 3:12, a sort of motif similar to *Age of Calamity* is used, which I personally find very interesting
This clearly shows what a beautiful and well thought out composition and arrangement the trailer music had. Oh and a flawless execution on the piano. Bravo 👏
You've reached the itch we all had for this to be a thing. Thank you so much! It's stunning ♥ When the full OST comes out I do hope you do more from it!
The music in the trailer gave me goosebumps and with the visuals made me shed a few tears of overwhelming glee. This video made me feel the same way all over again. Thank you ❤
I noticed that as well! Granted, that theme is super basic, so it could be coincidence, but OTOH this looks a little like AoC too with the champions and farmers fighting and all that.
Hey Tim, I just wanted to say, I truly love what you've done with this piece!! I try not to listen to it too much while studying, because the way you play and the TOTK music both hypes me up and then I immediately lose focus on studying and get excited so I try to listen to you during my breaks. All the work on your channel (or at least the ones I've heard on spotify) has inspired me to continue making more Zelda music arrangements on my guitar again!! Seeing what you can do has inspired me to play some songs that may have been at first musicially challenging for me, but I'm working around it, my goal is to always capture the effect of the song in how we interpret it, in the best way possible and I see that in your piece of work, especially in this one!! Amazing work Tim, and thank you so much for inspiring and motivating me to push through my limits. You're playing is very beautiful, and I hope you continue to play and enjoy what you love and do best!!!
Also Zelda's lullaby, just three damn notes at the end. Absolute legend of a trailer soundtrack. You did it justice. For anyone who appreciates music composition, this is so layered. Glad I stumbled upon it. Makes me want to finally learn piano!
This piece is so fun!! Brilliant arrangement, and in such quick fashion as well! I understand it would’ve been hard with your desired release speed but it would’ve been awesome to hear an interpretation of the vocal countermelodies instead of the steady bass around 2:30, it’s my favorite part! I might see if I can transpose it around those chords personally. Keep up the good work, and onward to Tears of the Kingdom we go as gamers and musicians!
Agreed, there were some details I wanted to put in but that would've required hours of additional arranging and rehearsing time, so I had to make the choice. For instance I also would've loved to put in the Ghibli-style woodwind motifs starting at 0:17. If this music appears in-game I might revisit it!
just me or does 2:22 sound like the reversed vocal theme from the original 2019 reveal trailer? edit: after listening again i’m not sure, i thought it sounded similar, maybe the intervals or chords are similar but idk much about music theory

Hi Tim, are you expecting to put your works also on Apple music or other platforms in the future?
@@mikeguo608 It already is! =D Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer, you name it.
Are you paying fees to Nintendo for those songs? I mean, even if it's your own interpretation, the original is still copyrighted material, right?
@@demantim Thanks Tim. As always this is another masterpiece！
Thanks for linking, loved your latest album. Too bad there's no Riding (Day) track because it's my favorite one! Maybe someday
I love how this soundtrack incorporates bits and pieces from other Zelda soundtracks. And that sax bit is just so amazing.
Same! It's quote-tastic, but not *too* heavy-handed in my opinion. (Maybe a little bit with ye olde Zelda main theme...)
Tim you have no idea how desperately I've wanted this for the last 24 hours 😅
Glad to be of service! =D
Agree!
And you weren’t the only one!!
so good! ive been listening to the trailer on repeat wanting to play it
I was about to comment this! 😭😭
I'm always amazed that you can cover these new melodies and arrangements so well so quickly. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Tim!
Thanks again for listening, Brad! I had kinda underestimated this one to be honest xD . It's a long trailer, with a lot of distinct segments. But, fortunately, my "trailer music covered the next day" streak is still alive! =D
@@demantim New video title(?) The Legend of Tim: Tears of The Pianist Desperately Working To Keep His Streak Alive
@@demantim Lot of complex chords, how did you figure it out? In terms of listening to a piece and then playing it i have the most trouble with recognizing hard chords
i know this sounds silly but that main theme coming in at 3:03 made me tear up, the music chosen for this trailer just fits so perfectly.
You're not the only one! ;)
I thought it was just me! I’m so glad they included the main theme in there!😄
This is the best moment
Me too!😅
Oh thank god I'm not the only one 😂, but for me I was already tearing up at 0:28 . This game already looks like a masterpiece!
It’s amazing how you can just hear some music and immediately be able to arrange it into a piano piece. Excellent work! 😁
Thanks Backpack! The downside is having to then notate it onto sheet music =P . It's a hassle, but people seem to be glad there's sheet music so I'll just keep doing it!
Please do! I love using the sheet music! Thank you for arranging amazing music 😁
@@demantim have you tried automatic generation? There are some really good music sheet generators software that convert your MIDI piano playing to music sheets, with some errors that you could quickly correct afterwards, Logic Pro has a good tool for that
I must say, the second reason I'm excited for this game is the covers you'll make out of it
I'm ready to let myself be educated by the masters one again!
I am one of those who thinks the same as you!
So many new videos… I’m not gonna be able to listen to anything else…
@@breadman6549 Will take it slowly, one a week probably - gotta savour it :)
@@demantim Yeah
2:07 gave me goosebumps - SO GOOD!
Jesus saves
epic
Not including the ostinato at 0:17 was a huge miss. It's what gives it its flying/free falling feel.
2:07 started headbanging honestly goes so hard
2:07 is definitely the best part of the trailer. Saxophone going ham.
For real, such drama!
Gaaah, I'm feeling the _feels_ all over again! Wonderful work, as always!
Dem feels, I LOVE IT. Thanks Matthew! =D
I just wanted to say thank you for making these songs, you have been a source of inspiration for several years now
Zelda music has a distinct feeling that you capture very well :)
Fr that’s impressive !
Nailed the 2:00 minute section! Glad to see someone really getting those juicy chords right
Why arrange something if you can't do it justice, right? =D
@@demantim yup, really like your channel for doing that justice
2:57 souns like Halo and I LOVE IT
I could definitely hear a difference between this trailer's music and the one's we've gotten before. They weren't hiding anything this time, going full out! And so were you, amazing work!
2:07 was incredible!
That segment is so powerful!
This is incredible! Your cover of the cinematic trailer for breath of the wild, however many years ago that was, was one of the first pieces I picked up when I first started learning the piano, and now it feels like we've come full circle with this one! Fantastic job, and thank you for providing us with all these amazing covers for all these years
Thanks so much! For that one I also worked all day to get it up the same day as the trailer so it's comparable to this one in that regard 😅
Can we all just appreciate how quickly Tim delivered this. Amazing job!
Bedankt Jin! =D
Something about 2:10 makes me feel like this adventure is coming close to the end of the story for zelda. If the timeline loop is correct, we could be seeing a whole new timeline. That would be awesome.
There’s just something extremely epic about that moment in the arrangement, Like link is on his last legs fighting against ganondorf.
Best Trailer music for tears of the kingdom yet and you played it brilliantly!!
Thanks so much Blake! I also adore the music that played during the gameplay demonstration, definitely a candidate for covering soon as well =) .
I love you work, de Man, keep doing your best, brother. All I wanted to say is that saxophone in the trailer was brilliant in so many ways, I'm still struggling to explain why the sax just makes so much sense, it was so fun and unexpected but at the same time was never out of place. Pretty amazing trailer music magic.
It's exactly the kind of unexpected awesomeness that I hoped for!
@@demantim It sure was. It was cheesy and cool at the same time. There better be sunglasses in the game, that saxophone was absolutely magical. So bold and confident, ol Nintendo still knows how to trick a fella outta his money.
God bless you and your family, de Man, I really appreciate your work.
When I heard Ganondorf's theme in the trailer I got goosebumps. I got the same thing here! Great work as always, Tim! You never cease to amaze!
Thanks so much Xavier, playing that drum rhythm with the left hand was a lot of fun!
@Tim de Man - Game Music It sounds like it! What are your thoughts about the theme we hear in the first trailer towards the end, along with Ganondorf's theme? Do you believe they both for Ganondorf or perhaps Demise is the skeleton we see?
@@xavierheisler8797 Looks like Ganondorf to me, Gerudo clothing and all!
@@demantim It's just strange that scene we get with the long hair and the Ganondorf we see in the game doesn't have long hair... hopefully we'll learn more when the game releases!
THE MAN!!! This is beautiful!!! 👏🏻😮💨
Man the beginning of the Gannon part went hard
Practice time stamps:
(will edit as i progress)
part 1: 0:00
part 2: 0:09

It still amazes me on how fast you can put these videos together. I love the work you do so much!
I've never see a trailer inspiring as much people as this one. The content about it is amazing
It'll be talked about for a while!
I’ve been listening to this while studying every single day for the past month and it still gives me chills. The mailman is on his way right now with the game, at long long last
Praise the mailman!
Dude that glissando at the end gave goosebumps
i had chills the entire time!! amazing work as always!!!
0:28 - 0:35 LITERAL CHILLS
Really nice how it opens up with that chord!
@@demantimthank you for this wonderful video Tim ❤😊
As soon as the video ended I got a ToTK ad on the jazzy part. Love it!
Bedankt Tim voor de fantastische muziek op de piano!!! Ik ben altijd nog onder de indruk hoe goed je Zelda muziek kan spelen!! Ga zo door!!
Bedankt Wessel! =D
WOW BRAVO! Especially the saxophone part of the trailer, it gave me shivers! :)
Great video! I'm blown away by how great the music for this trailer is... It's unbelievably good
I can't express enough how much your music has enhanced my gaming experience. It adds an extra layer of immersion and emotion, making each moment even more memorable. Thank you for the incredible compositions!💗
Tim, je bent echt de man. Dit had ik ffe nodig
Blij om van dienst te zijn!
I find it absolutely incredible to find out all the notes and to be able to play this whole piece. Kudos!
本当にピアノでの再現が素敵すぎる。楽譜使わせてもらいます！
감사합니다.
U ook bedankt!
best trailer so far in all ways especially music!!
Oh my god that damn part at 2.00 ...I love it so much!!
You always come through!!! Beautiful

This video made me feel the same way all over again. Thank you ❤
Man this trailer makes me cry tears of joy
Awesome playing!
This is great. Absolutely brilliant! well done! :)
The fact someone's already made this is insane to me. The hype behind this game is unheard of.
Was waiting for this one, absolutely incredible work dude 🥲
Thanks so much Seraph! =D
My ears have been blessed once again, thank you Tim. ❤️
Possibly just a coincidence but 2:43 sounds I believe exactly like the Hyrule warriors age of calamity theme
I noticed that as well! Granted, that theme is super basic, so it could be coincidence, but OTOH this looks a little like AoC too with the champions and farmers fighting and all that.
I love you for this! You are incredible!
