Just when you think a song has a fairly predictable way to be arranged, Jack comes in and breaks your legs. Love how Toxic this one sounds, and at the same time the heart of the original. Bass shines so much for some reason in this one.
Dude. What the fuck. O_O That solo at 3:10 is unreal!! THIS IS SO GOOD. I have always loved your lead tone and the way you play leads as well, your picking attack is just so tasty!
Been going through some stuff, and listening to this is the first time I've smiled in about a month and a half. Amazing use of intro/outtro, and acoustic vs electric for contrast.
Wow, this is hands down the best cover of this song I've ever heard. I love how you build up from the acoustic guitars and bass, slowly adding in the lead guitars rhythm guitars. And that solo.
I love how you slowly progress the metal structure into the song. It starts out like something that the Nintendo orchestra could get behind lol. You are one of my go to's for Zelda metal. Started with power glove then it was 331erock. Now it's people like you and richaadeb that I listen to! What a crazy day and age to live in.
Incredible man. Watching the beginning of this on the stream and then hearing the final product just blows my mind. I heard this through shitty phone speakers and the mix sounded perfect. You're a freakin god!
my first thought when i clicked on the video was " Eh I bet it sounds lame" Then I heard the very first notes and though "Ok, this is gonna be awesome!" Brilliant job man.
I just listened to Zelda and random JRPG metal covers for the past 2 hours. This is the only cover that made me sub despite liking everything. THIS is a progressive masterpiece brother, rock on.
I lurked for a little bit during the stream when you were working on this, and the final product freakin blew my mind! Your lead playing in this was just
If I was looking through a list of most unlikely candidates for metal covers, Dragon Roost would definitely be at the top. Happy to say that this is one of the best I’ve heard on your channel. Be excellent to each other.
Can you stop it mate I've just made a "covers" playlist because I watched one of your videos. So far I've added every other video of your's to it. Surely one of them is not fucking absolutely the best cover ever made?!
I've said it in your streams before that you need to cover a Wind Waker song and god damn... I did not expect this. It's perfect. The transition from acoustic to metal is amazing(also that solo) great job Jack!
Hot damn! That was good! The solo melted faces yet has melody intertwined; the dynamics are there; the build up in the first minute gives it an awesome ballad feel about to explode. Great stuff!
EASILY in my top 3 youtube channels. These covers should have 10 times the views they currently have. Keep up the good work my dude, my ears thank you for it.
I go back to this song every so often. Wind waker is my favorite Nintendo game and one of my favorite videogames of all time and dragon roost island is a very special song to me. Can't believe I'm saying this but your cover of this song is better than the original and improves in every way. Ive been subbed to you for years but thought you should see this and know your music is sick AF. Have a good day man
Wow, that midi method seems to work well. Hearing the final product after hearing it in midi is amazing. Awesome job as usual! I like how melodic this was
I'm late to the party on this one, but-- this is, in my opinion, the best remix / cover / version of this song, period. Put it up against the original, the BoTW Ruto Village version, or any Mikel, DJ Cutman, or Game Chops renditions and none of them quite get to this level. There is some deep feeling in this version that conveys a journey full of trials and challenges. Could be my favorite work of yours sir! I have long loved the Dragon Roost island theme and still listen to the original from time to time, but this has been on repeat for me the past week!
Dang dude your bass playing is really good :o Also, loved that riff during the solo, it was really catchy and now it's gonna be stuck in my head all day. This is a great cover!
Fuck yeeeee :D VG MC Volume 6 is gonna be your best one yet. Awesome greenscreening, and you managed to stay out of the middle for the most part. That's my only gripe with greenscreens, I tend to watch the footage most of the time and the center is the most important part of it.
Wow, Amazing as always ;D, i didn't really care much for the original version of this theme but you sir, have perfected it with the beauty of Metal!, i look forward to your next live stream! (and that disney cover!)
hell yeah dude, my fav game in the zelda series, nice work! amazing tone/vibrato as usual, truly doing justice to all of the timeless classics you've covered.
Your version makes me want to embrace my childhood and go back in time as a kid and play the game once more i love rock music and gaming, thank you for your version XD
What I really love about this cover is that it really is very, very metal in tone! Like I can imagine it to some very fitting metal lyrics. The whole cover gave me Killswitch Engage vibes actually. Very well done!
I love to listen to your music when I am forging metal. I even made my first damascus billet while listening to your music. Keep up the amazing work! :)
Tasteful stuff! This is the kind of creativity that we can see now thanks to the internet and the reach that TH-cam has achieved. Love the dedication tot his theme, which is by far the best one in terms of melody in the whole game. Amazing work!!
Wait.. I've listened to this song MANY times and there was always an outro (which annoyed me, sorry), but now it's gone? Without a re-upload? That's possible now? GREAT! LOVE IT! just like the song cheers!
Pure eargasm, love how melodic every single part sounds! Can I request you cover Song Of Storms next??? :D Of all the other metal covers I've heard, I'm convinced you could make it sound better than any of them.
You know how picky I am about covers of this song. That said, you did it justice man. Excellent stuff as always!
RichaadEB also lol'd at 3:38
It's one my favorites from the whole series because of just how deep it feels when hearing it.
Just when you think a song has a fairly predictable way to be arranged, Jack comes in and breaks your legs. Love how Toxic this one sounds, and at the same time the heart of the original. Bass shines so much for some reason in this one.
SwigglesRP Thanks so much swaggles!
This comment is how I felt, hell yeah.
Just as much as I'd expect from Sir Toxicxeternity: Face-melting.
Best version of this song for sure. This rocks
Dude. What the fuck. O_O
That solo at 3:10 is unreal!! THIS IS SO GOOD. I have always loved your lead tone and the way you play leads as well, your picking attack is just so tasty!
AHmusic Thanks so much AHmusic! :D
I gotta say this guy's got some of the best intros to these covers, really hypes up the main melody by teasing it and leading up to it. well done!
Those 4 littles bass notes at 0:45 give me chills everytime i listen to it ! Awesome
Still true to this day sir. Man it lets you know you're about to get hit with the full force of the song.
This blew me away, dude! Seriously. Great arrangement, outstanding production value, and dat oh-so-sexy guitar solo. Mmm.
ArtificialFear Thanks so much Mat!! \m/
Still my favorite metal song, I think, of all time. The way you ease in and out with the heavy stuff is so relaxing.
I knew this was gonna rock from hearing the stream arrangement, sounds freaking awesome man!
Been going through some stuff, and listening to this is the first time I've smiled in about a month and a half. Amazing use of intro/outtro, and acoustic vs electric for contrast.
VERY SICK MAN! You can never say no to some Dragon Roost. I'll be sure to shout this out on my next Hyrule Academy episode! :)
SuperMCGamer Thank you so much MC!

This song is definitively the best way to beggin a day (listening to it almost every single morning for 2 month now)
Incredible man. Watching the beginning of this on the stream and then hearing the final product just blows my mind. I heard this through shitty phone speakers and the mix sounded perfect. You're a freakin god!
***** Thanks so much Noe!
i just keep coming back to this.
Man when that lead came in at 0:52 I almost cried tears of joy. Beautiful shit man keep it up.
It was an honor watching you write this on the stream. The final product no joke made me shed a tear!
YES! The intro is absolutely stunning, and that middle section and the solo are perfect!
2:40 - man, for something, that really got to me. Very well done, as always; love your work, man.
my first thought when i clicked on the video was " Eh I bet it sounds lame" Then I heard the very first notes and though "Ok, this is gonna be awesome!" Brilliant job man.
We can pick any of your covers old or new and always know it will be some great work :)
This brings back so many memories as a kid playing this on the Game Cube....man such simpler, and better times they where.
There is something about this song. I can't get enough of it. I mean, the original was so good, but this... This blew my mind.
Holy shit, this is amazing. Has kind of a Moonsorrow vibe.
I just listened to Zelda and random JRPG metal covers for the past 2 hours. This is the only cover that made me sub despite liking everything. THIS is a progressive masterpiece brother, rock on.
That sweeping solo tho! :O I love your arrangements soooo much! :D You're the best!
I lurked for a little bit during the stream when you were working on this, and the final product freakin blew my mind! Your lead playing in this was just

After watching this 1000000000 times, I love how you just rip a sick solo over a menu and save screen 😆
Beautiful! This is is top-tier quality stuff dude
I squealed when I saw this show up in my feed. And I was not disappointed! As always, keep up the great work, Jack!
Can you stop it mate I've just made a "covers" playlist because I watched one of your videos. So far I've added every other video of your's to it. Surely one of them is not fucking absolutely the best cover ever made?!
from Press A to Sidle on... floors me every time. You're amazing Jack!
That acoustic tone... Just perfect.
I've said it in your streams before that you need to cover a Wind Waker song and god damn... I did not expect this.
It's perfect. The transition from acoustic to metal is amazing(also that solo) great job Jack!

Yessss. I was watching the stream where you were working on this. Awesome job :D!
Valiance x You guys know how stoked I was on this when I was writing it haha! Thanks for watching! :)
Fucking hell Jack, this is incredible! Loving the new background effect. This is some of the best music on TH-cam my brother. Keep in touch.
Bloobiebla Thanks so much man!!
EASILY in my top 3 youtube channels. These covers should have 10 times the views they currently have. Keep up the good work my dude, my ears thank you for it.
Dang! I'm speechless that is one amazing remix! Gave me the chills! Keep up the awesome work man!

This is, hands down, one of the best covers of a game song I ever heard...!
You need more viewers, you're a step above most video game musicians, fantastic chops and tasteful production and lead.
You fucking nailed it dude.
This cover is a killer...
You deserve so much more than what you have man, absolutely perfect as always.
what a perfect combination of styles! sounds awesome!
That solo was incredible! Best version of this song! Amazing man!

I have no words to describe what I feel every time that I listened
TEACH ME, MASTER! God your covers are always perfection, the arrangement and playing are just godlike!
Wow, that midi method seems to work well. Hearing the final product after hearing it in midi is amazing. Awesome job as usual! I like how melodic this was
Some of my favorite metal guitarist also praised your cover, and I still think your rendition is the best, dang!
Absolutely fucking SLAPS. Fantastic piece.
Man, that was a great take on such a good song. I would kill for some tabs!
The acoustic guitar ending is genius very nice job man
