As a oboist I am finally happy to see the oboe in the thumbnail. It is such a unknown instrument but very distinct in certain ensembles due to it's unique sound.
Idk I've always thought the lost woods theme sounds kind of dark and mysterious. It has the feel of being lost in the woods forever and being swayed by the fae.
I love how true to the original this is and at the same time it adds a lot of depth with the original instruments. I think the bassoon especially gives it a nice dynamic range. I would prefer if it didn't loop so many times, or had a bit of a narrative arc to it. I love how restrained the sound is, like every sound is intentional. I think that serves the arrangement very well.
Luke, you really are remarkable, taking on all of these challenges with all of these instruments. The oboe is harder to play well than people realize, and if it comes easy to some, they’re just lucky. Many can sound the instrument but few actually have the ability to make it sing, which is what it is intended to do , not shriek, which many do. You have my respect. And yes, I play oboe.
I was astonished the first time I heard oboe played well. Such a beautiful sound! Unfortunately the oboist thought I meant they were bad when I said this to a friend and looked daggers at me. I avoided them for the rest of the weekend in embarrassment 😳
@@InstrumentManiac love the cover but i would of loved if the part was played with a Clarinet and the recorder in opinion I think it would of sounded a lot better but that's just me being biased towards the clarinet but respect for the oboe because it is hard to play and I'm already happy with my clarinet and flute. I also love the field of hopes and dreams cover i have been listening to it alot plus Hip Shop. Edit when i get my allowance im signing up to your patreon for some help on some Tears of the kingdom music plus i would love to get ahold of your music sheets.
Once my relative who is playing in orchestra let me play her oboe, and it was much, MUCH harder than i thought, because i just didn't have enough air in my lights to play it for a while! Just how do people play these?!
That basoon caught me so off guard holy cow. The noise actually startled me! Your covers are legitimately just so wonderful. Thank you for making these. I'm sure you love to do it, and make them for that love... but seriously. You are so incredibly skilled at what you do. I never cease to smile when one of your songs plays
As a bassoonist I can appreciate the tone in your bassoon skills. People tend to underestimate how good the bassoon is at what it does. It’s nice to hear it blend the music in such a magical way. I wish the bassoon would get more recognition.
@@triden1172 The fingering for the notes is a whole lot more funky than the oboe. I personally have never tried playing the oboe but from what I have heard from one of my colleagues who plays the oboe, the bassoon made no sense to them. I don’t know if it would be the same for everyone it’s just what I’ve been told.
@triden1172 from my memory (I used to play bassoon) transitioning to bassoon from an oboe is not like say...going from a clarinet to a bass clarinet. It's a whole different thing. Maybe you're thinking oboe to English horn? Not sure since I already was 1 of 1 playing the bassoon at my school and nobody played English horn. There were a few oboe players tho
@@brandonc4084 Actually no. There _was_ a OoT movie made once, called _Hero of Time._ I don't know if it can be found anywhere anymore (there was a copy of it on YT a number of years ago), but it did exist. I recall reading it released around Christmastime, because I remember reading that in the spirit of the holiday, Nintendo decided to let it go without taking legal action against it. (And thank you for commenting. I was waiting for someone to ask about this. XD XD)
Wow, and right when I’m getting into Ocarina of Time! An awesome arrangement, but honestly the additional instruments really floored me. That piccolo was genius, rounding out the woodwinds and giving us that fun tinkly sound that almost feels reminiscent of the fairies, and the accordion quietly bolstering the oboe’s melody was such a unique addition! Love your stuff as always, man! Edit: also I would love to hear your take on the Fairy Fountain Theme, people tend to cover it in very similar ways so seeing how you decide to add to it would be amazing (unrelated but it’s always reminded me of that one part in the middle of Claire de Lune)
Good ears Jess for picking out all those lil nuances! Those are exactly the thoughts I had when putting together the arrangement 😊 And fairy fountain for sure! Definitely on the short list 💙
Wow this was amazing. Every second had a different melody or instrument that kept me engaged. So much packed into just 2 minutes. I need an extended version.
I love Ocarina of Time so much and this is such a beautiful and tranquil cover! I love how you incorporate different instruments and explain their usage, it's both entertaining and educational :)
I'm glad to see the recorder in there. People assume that it's a childs instrument and sounds terrible but that's because most people haven't heard one outside of their kids elementary school music class. When a professional musician is playing a professionally made instrument (not the cheap plastic ones) it can sound so beautiful.
It’s so cool to see you bring out other instruments. Usually you only play a few in a video but I love it when you bring in rare ones like bassoon and mandolin. It sounds so good!
i don't even know how to say this well, but i mean it in the kindest way i possibly can - your music is so autismically perfect. it is a really vast and kind sensory experience and it is exactly what my brain needs. thank you so much
ohhhh I wasn't gonna say anything but then this comment!!! The articulation on the first line in the B section is different than I usually play it... so in that regard, my autism has found at least one problem with it. XD Seriously no offence though! I love this channel!
You have no idea how long have I waited for your interpretation of Lost Woods. The day has finally come and you certainly have not disppointed, far form it, you exceeded our expectations. This is my most favorite piece of videogame music and I am really glad that this version exists. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Luke.
Like I always say, Thank you so much Luke, that was awesome! Honestly, Saria’s Song is my only favorite song from Lost Woods/The Legend of Zelda. Like I said before, I used to have a friend named Saria.
Oh my! I already loved how the recorder sounded almost as sweet as my ocarina with the lead melody, but then that oboe came in and blew me away! I'm such a sucker for conical wind sound... it just tickles my ears in exactly the right way.
This song is such a good quality version! It's like you went out of your way to use the exact instruments that were used in the song to remain as faithful as possible to it.
Simplesmente perfeito! Eu sou do Brasil e amo seu trabalho, o melhor remaker de game musics que eu poderia conhecer! Parabéns pelo trabalho incrível S2
@@rodrigodeoliveiranasciment1837 cara, eu sei que é um cover. Mas ficou tão surreal que pra mim parece que essa sim é a original. Pra mim tá melhor que o original :)
that's a really nice tone on that recorder! edit: i just wish we got more than 21 frames of it at a time! it's so hard to track what your fingers are doing when i get less than a second to see!
Always a delight to see how you add depth in instrumentation, even to a simple piece like this. You really showcase your ability to know just the right instruments to use without going over the top. It sounds so clean and so rich every time. Keep up the great work!
A great rendition! Who knew accordion/oboe pairing could work so well together. I have a soft spot for the double reeds. They're very unique compared with other woodwinds
All the subtle additions of various instruments gave me this really wonderful image of all of the kokiri kids coming together and adding their own unique voice and twist to the song. That was really fun
OMG, if you are keeping with the Legend of Zelda's songs, please consider doing the Song of Storm and the Dragon Roost Island theme. And as always, thank you for those fantastic covers!

Great arrangement!
Thank you Alina! 😭♥
Ого, привет Алина!
Damm you are better than me I was Attempt to play it with my alto saxophone 😂😂😂
oh shit, Alina what you doin here!
I totally agree
I'm so glad to see the recorder featured in this piece. It helps raise its reputation of being a children's instrument.

Taking the wrong turn wouldn't be so frustrating if the music sounded this clean.

As a oboist I am finally happy to see the oboe in the thumbnail. It is such a unknown instrument but very distinct in certain ensembles due to it's unique sound.
I play the oboe as well😁
I think oboe is so cool. I've been trying to learn it recently. It's just so hard are people who play it are very talented.
If I didn't pick up flute back then, I have been a Oboist today.
@rhynemusic4101 I mean, i play flute aswell so it's never too late to pick up a 2nd instrument
yess
i love how whimsical and carefree this song is
Yes!!!, 1 of my favorites. 😃
Me too, It is so whimsical!
Idk I've always thought the lost woods theme sounds kind of dark and mysterious. It has the feel of being lost in the woods forever and being swayed by the fae.
When my kids played it was just background noise-now i miss that sound.
This is the Lost Woods as it was always meant to sound. Koji Kondo would be proud! Very nice.

I was just going to comment the same thing - it both highlights I.M.'s hard work and adds to the wonderful wonderful sense of musical ASMR he creates!
🥲❤️
It's amazing how many instruments are required to capture the magic that was is the Lost Woods theme.

I’ve never heard such a well-integrated orchestration of this melody - the blending of your choice of woodwinds is masterful.
bassoon works so well with these zelda covers
I like how he taps on the drum like he's impatiently waiting for someone 1:03

Its a lovely tune. I find the rapid cuts and constantly zooming to give the video a somewhat chaotic feel it cracks me up.
The passion that you have for not only your craft but recreating this classic tune is amazing . Well done dude !
