"Time passes, people move... Like a river's flow, it never ends... A childish mind will turn to noble ambition... Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself...."
I’ve always loved Sheik’s theme. It made me feel like I wasn’t alone against the darkness, in and out of game. This brought that feeling back. Thank you.
@@flameofanor1415 My interpretation of it is that the nostalgic quality's roots are twofold. The first is melodic. Most of the phrases end on a C, which is only a second above Bb which is the tonal center of the piece. This gives each line a longing quality to it. Each time one short phrase finishes, you're waiting for the next one hoping that it will resolve to a Bb and give a sense of finality. In the same way that we long for the joys of the past and the time we spent with now passed loved ones, we long for this piece to resolve to its tonal center, even after listening plenty of times and knowing that it never will. It creates a sense of longing for something which will never come, and that is pretty much nostalgia. The second aspect is the rhythm, or rather the flexibility of the time. Every second of this song operates under rubato. Rubato is more easily listened to than explained, but it essentially means that some parts go faster and other parts go slower but that changes in tempo are fluid and gradual with some unexpected jumps. I think that this rubato aspect gives a dimension of time to the theme. In our lives, things progress at paces that are often too fast or too slow. Great moments feel short lived at times and in the same way difficult periods may seem to last for an eternity. The rubato creates a natural progression of the melody that feels much more like our perception of time than a regimented tempo or extremely sudden changes. This evokes a sense of time passing, and that every second we drift further from those amazing experiences we had in childhood. These emotions are also mentioned in Sheik's dialogue throughout the game.
I can't tell you how many feels I had while listening to this. This really brings back memories of playing Ocarina of Time when I was a kid. The Legend of Zelda has always been something my siblings and I have cherished and listening to this.... This makes me more excited for BOTW, not in an excited jumping up and down way, but in an emotional way. Music is a huge part of a game, and I love hearing your renditions.
This version is so ethereal, I can't really explain. So absolutely lovely, pleasant, and moving. Quite possibly the very best cover to exist, I think I like this more than the original even. Thank you for making it. :) When I was growing up, the neighborhood I lived in when I was quite young had a huge yard sale every year and I remember my mom waking me up very early for it, before everything started happening, and sitting in the front yard with the sun just having risen, when dew was still on the grass, and before the summer heat came in. This music gave me the same feeling I felt then.
You know what? I found the best cover of sheik's theme! You put forward the magic which missed in the original music and you have highlight its beauty and its innocence.
Sheik's my favorite Zelda character, and his theme is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. This cover is so amazing! It brings back memories of first seeing Sheik in Ocarina of Time. Thank you for this. Also yes, I call Sheik 'he'. I personally see Sheik as a separate character from Zelda, a different conciseness of sorts, like in the manga (yes I am aware the manga isn't cannon shut up)
A sword that glows, an evil king seeking a divine relic, and countless millennia of bloodshed. The Legend of Zelda is truly The Silmarillion with time travel.
I kinda said this on twitter, but I'll mention it here. I like the arrangement a lot just as an orchestral cover in general. However, if you're aiming to match Breath of the Wild stylistically, I don't think you're quite on the right track, most notably given the amount of reverb and sustain on the piano and the mix overall. I also think you could push for a lot more rubato and segmentation of the melody, as well as really pushing for more suspended or dissonant chords than what was in the original sheik theme. A lot of the chords in BotW's temple of time are almost like jazz chords. Though I suppose it really depends on how you envision that this song would hypothetically be used in the context of the game. Perhaps I'm thinking too hard about it. =P It's still a nice arrangement, I'm just offering up some critique in case you're wanting to know how to better emulate the musical stylings of BotW. Far be it from me to consider myself a musical expert, but I hope it helps out either in refining this or on your future projects. =)
Brilliant feedback, thanks so much!! :) I think I loved the theme so much originally that I wanted to keep the same feel rhythmically. Speaking of the suspended / dissonant chords in the soundtrack.... they're amazing aren't they?! :D
Oh, totally! I really love their approach in almost masking the themes behind the disjointed rhythms and the drastically different chords. It's like every musical callback is a whisper of a theme lost to time.
Artsy Omni Totally agree, BoTW does use some complex harmony, however if you notice the descending line at 0:33 the way it interacts with the higher part almost gives it that kind of Jazzy chord clash
Artsy Omni these songs are sort of like when the game is finished and Ganon is defeated. It's like hyrule is now rebuilding and becoming fixed together
I just found this channel and already LOVE your work. It is so breathtaking, so beautiful. I always love Orchestral music since I was a little kid, keep it up. :)
Ok I played not enough the legend of zelda games bc I don't know who's bongo bongo, volvagia, morpha and koume and kotake.. Well, time for Google I think
i love your dedication to making fan music for botw :D! it's amazing, and you've been pretty consistent. i'd like to hear some more originals as well, but maybe that's just me?
This would have been cool to hear quietly playing as you reach Zelda's room in the castle.
Fuck dude. That shit would give me goosebumps. In a good way.
@@jessemoreno114 ikr
Yeah, or a very subtle version like how the song of time technically plays at the temple of time
@@Over_Toasted yeah, like the first piano hit at 0:17
I think I would've cried and shit my pants. In the most emotional way possible.
"Time passes, people move... Like a river's flow, it never ends... A childish mind will turn to noble ambition... Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself...."
Imagine a Zelda movie. "Studio Ghibli and Co Nintendo presents" The Legend of Zelda "
Carl Jernberg I don't understand how such a beautiful story can't turn into a movie !
I would’ve rather seen toriyama’s vision of LoZ come to life tbh
The problem is which story should be told and how?
It would be Legendary
Sounds a bit like Hisaishi’s compositions too
I’ve always loved Sheik’s theme. It made me feel like I wasn’t alone against the darkness, in and out of game. This brought that feeling back.
Thank you.
Koji Kondo knows how to help set a scene. That man is an inspiration.
it is happening
This song made me cry when I heard it the first time as a little kid.
This is my all time favorite theme, it is really calming and peaceful
Why did it make you cry as a child?
@@kite1704 idk bro it just hit different when I was a kid lmfao
It makes me wanna cry even now, like a strong feeling of nostalgia, cant really explain why..

I'm not gonna lie, I cried a little while listening to this. It's very good.
not alone
This is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard.

I always think of my brother when I hear this. Rest easy, Ty.
This made me tear up even more than the original, it's so beautiful
Am I the only one that wants to see Sheik as a kinda "main" character in the next Zelda?
Your Not The Only One
drakke
Yes, I want to see her being a protagonist.
Same!
That would only happen with a reimagining of ocarina of time.
YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY GOD DAMN ONE.
Every time I hear this, it's so emotional. I think of all the Zoras sealed under the ice in Zora's Domain.
If this was in BOTW, I would never leave my TV.
This is by far the best Sheik cover I've ever heard by a longshot
Thinks of Link and Zelda riding together into the sunset ...
Thinks of Zelda crying in Link's arms ...
*Sad sigh*
This aged remarkably well.
This is easily the best version of this song ever
the reverb on the piano is perfect 😩
Thanks so much! It is Valhalla Shimmer, a wonderful reverb!! :)

Brought a tear to my eye
Absolutely fantastic, I can't stop listening to it. When the theme started playing I got goosebumps, I really hope the music in game sounds like this
I'M IN LOVE! Thank you for making this
Yes yes so much yes
This is so beautiful and peaceful. Definitely adding this to my Zelda music playlist!
ICONIC
The sound......it’s so beautiful........more beautiful than many things I’ve never had music impact me in the way I feel it warms my heart ❤️
This is actually super pretty sounding. I love it.
Goosebumps..got a bit emotional too. Thank you for this.
Excellent work as always! You always deliver :)
The vocals really add to it. Beautiful rendition! ❤️
Finally some counterpoint on this 28 second theme!
This honestly brings tears to my eyes, it’s so lovely!
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love this, wished it could have been longer!
I like the piano in this. Lots of emotion. Nice work.

I love it so much.I can just imagine Sheik sitting on a tree and playing the harp so beautifuly.Thak you for making this.
This is awesome!
Vibrators sound so natural too 😍
Very well done 💯🙏🏼🙌🏼
Just beautiful. Really hits home for me, thank you for creating this version.
I'm lost for words at this... One of my top 5 game themes and you made something beautiful... Thank you.
All those Spitfire Libraries making me drool.
Fantastic arrangement for a severely underrated song!
I need an hour long version of this please. Its so beautiful 😭❤️
A sword that glows, an evil king seeking a divine relic, and countless millennia of bloodshed. The Legend of Zelda is truly The Silmarillion with time travel.
This makes me feel so at peace. Absolutely beautiful and I love the addition of vocals. Thank you.
That was so beautiful ! It's exactly what I was searching for

I can't hold back anymore. Just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to that Guardian theme cover!
This is awesome!
This fits the games aesthetic so well!! Love the slowness of it!
This is absolutely EXQUISITE! Well done
The slight delayed notes in the chords make it, great sound and good mix. nice!
Very beautiful sounds, I like it a lot :)
Lusamine's Battle Theme from Pokémon Sun and Moon would sound amazing. Your works always sound so realistic!!!! Ahhh
i'm crying😢 so beautiful sounds…
Was just in Dazzas stream this morning and happened to come across this while searching different versions of Shieks Theme!
Love this!
I genuinely think that this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
this is very well arranged! love that you did it in logic!
almost cried you made it sound really emotional
This is extraordinary. Amazing work as always.
I cried. very well done lol
Are we allowed to use your amazing covers as background music for videos? Will of course give you credit and link back here 😍
Hey there, thanks so much! For sure! You’re more than welcome to use the tracks on the channel 😃

So beautiful....
So well done! Thank you for sharing!
Holy shit man thanks for this it actually brought me to tears
Theme of my favourite character :o
I just found this channel and already LOVE your work. It is so breathtaking, so beautiful. I always love Orchestral music since I was a little kid, keep it up. :)
If ever Nintendo decides to give Ocarina of Time a ground-up remake ala FF7R, then I hope Sheik's theme sounds even half as good as this.
Beautiful
This is great! Thanks!
Shit, I got chills hearing this. This is the best thing I've heard
Here are who dislike Sheiks theme.
1) Ganondorf
2) Ganon Phantom
3) Bongo Bongo
4) Volvagia
5) Morpha
6) Dark Link
7/8) Koume and Kotake
:)
Ok I played not enough the legend of zelda games bc I don't know who's bongo bongo, volvagia, morpha and koume and kotake.. Well, time for Google I think
@@leo8741 They are all bosses from Oot
@@evalynbaun6672 oh.. Now it's good to know lol
Jesus Christ, normally music don’t make me cry ._. But this is really fucking beautiful
The original will always triumph, one of the most beautiful tunes ever

Beautiful ❤
This is great.
i love your dedication to making fan music for botw :D! it's amazing, and you've been pretty consistent. i'd like to hear some more originals as well, but maybe that's just me?

Imagine the next botw 2 trailer starting with this music. I would cry
Beautiful!! 🙏💚
Can you do one of these arrangements for Minuet of Forest?!
Up next Zelda's Lullaby. Please! You are a master of this media!
Please re-upload this without the vocals. It's just an amazing arrangment, and beautiful sound!
Just wanted to chime in and say that I actually love the vocals, they transcend the song into something divine.
I don't cry easily. That's not me trying to be macho, I sometimes wish I cry more. You got close. 10/10.
I don’t know why, but this song feels like a hymn
I can't believe I cried.
Great job!
This is so awesome!
amazing
Okay but I’m about to start crying
wow! his song is very pretty.
Magical :)
Awesome! Can you try doing the Guardian Theme, Stationary Guardian Theme, or Shrine Guardian Theme next?
Scooby-Doo is basically a show that teaches kids that the villains in our lives are not always strangers but rather people we know & trust.
So random, I like it!
