=======(The Details)=======
Trying to upload and record this video has been one rollercoaster of a ride. Between my editing program crashing, internet blackouts and almost 2 days of trying to get a clean take: This is the result.
It's been a while since I had to practice this much for an upload. The arrangement process was slow. It took awhile for me to figure out how I wanted the arrangement to flow. Several sections went through many iterations where I scrapped or rewrote entire parts. This track is full of rapid repeated notes and chords, large leaps and tremolos. As such this recording could be cleaner but it's definitely time to move on to the next video.
Also this is a special round of VERSUS (Arrangement Battles). check out my opponent’s version here: • Gerudo Valley (Piano C...

P.S. I've recently been signed to Musicnotes as one of their Signature Artists to officially distribute my sheet music. As such I can no longer offer sheets for free but in return there should be more consistent upload of sheet music. ATM I'm in the process of transferring over all my sheets to their catalog. Thank you for your support, patience and understanding as this transition takes place.

A lot of extra time went into this one. I wanted to make sure to do this legendary theme justice. So if you appreciate these more in depth arrangements be sure to share it with all your Zelda loving friends. And thanks for tuning in!

Hey I can tell! It’s beautiful.
You really outdid yourself with this one!
I am already trying to learn the full arrangement you posted before, now am able to play up for great fairy fountain, this arrangement is my favorite and you did an amazing job! I hope to someday be able to play this!
Do you have any social media so I can follow you?,your really amazing I don’t know how many times I’ve relayed your videos.😁
Sorry if I don’t make any sense lol
As a beginner pianist and a Zelda lover I just want to say that you inspire me and make me dream.
@Nicolas Baert Never give up and eventually your dreams will come true ^^
Same
He makes everybody dream with his covers.
Started piano 1 year ago and gotta say fairy fountain is my end goal
Lets make a movie!
Imagine this while doing Vah Naboris in BoTW
that would suck and be weird, this song is too slow and does not evoke the proper atmosphere.
Remix Mabye
Dude that would habe been perfect. They missed that opportunity
Aww I want to do the divine beasts again (I’ve already completed master mode and normal mode)
ruby1one2000 *new game*
Love this Erik !! Great work
kylelandry thx man!
Hi
Nice
Soy tu fan
Nintendo doesan’t need an wohle Orchester, they just need this guy here
orchester?????
@@Sasparilla_ in many languages it’s variations of “orchester”. He might default to that instead of orchestra
And maybe an orchestra backing him up to make it extra epic
This arrangement is absolutely EPIC, it’s sounds the kind of piece you would hear in the credits. Pls continue with you’re amazing content.
SaY mY nAmE will do!
:)
never thought about it, totally sounds like something you would hear in the credits xD

Me at the beginning: I can play this

Me at the end: I’ll just watch
you at the end is me the whole time
dido... i am persevering and learning it slowly.
hahahahahaha this seriously made me laugh.
The story of all erik's covers
I began practicing the chorus section at 0:57 - 1:17 a month ago and I can play it at a slow speed. This song is above my level but I am confident I can learn it all before the end of the year
So well composed for piano!! A lot of people try to play gerudo valley on piano the way it was originally composed and it doesn’t sound as good because it’s meant to be played on guitar. This was MADE to be played on piano and it still fits the gerudo vibe. So grand an epic!!!
Erik, my 1-year-old son loves your videos so much I've started a playlist for him, titled "Songs for Bubbins" (his nickname).
There's something about the melodies plus the animation/hand movements which are just fascinating to him. When I showed this one in particular to him, he pinched his fingers together and started tapping the screen, imitating your hands!! Maybe one day he will play like you, as well 😉
Please keep up the videos! We love your work ❤
Goosebumps.
Wow, that's really nice. Considering how early he started being interested in the piano, he might actually play it one day and be really good! I hope it. :)
This is so wholesome lol
Woah, your playlist is actually public
@@ComicSans-ew2ou yeah its cool
the variation at 1:08 sound so sweet, you are gifted man
This variation makes me love this arrangement so much. Could not describe how I feel while listening to it, but it is incredible. :D
Those few seconds sound similar to the Smash 3DS/WiiU remix of the theme, which remixes a little.
Right_Hand_Power omg it does!!!!
This makes me think of the FFX battle theme so much!
Ce pseudo 😂😂😂😂
At first I was like:
"This doesn't sound a lot like the Gerudo theme.."
Then I was like..
"Oh.. O__O"
Omegood song
That was a fancy opening it had, for sure. It's a cover so it's not exactly the same.
It still doesn't
I'm a pianist and i can't even play like you, but i'm a Zelda lover and i can feel It like you

@@bonniejunk Thanks
Bruh that's deep
Interesting
This song has the Ganondorf Seal of Approval™.
Ah, reminds me of better times.
I remember when I was a boy, I had a Hydromelon plant in my backyard. I tended to it every day since I turned... 4? Ah... me and that Hydromelon grew up together. When it was sick, I would water it constantly, and provide it with shade from a leaf from one of the palm leaves. When I was sick, I would go out there and cuddle with it till I felt better. I imagined it doing magic to make me feel better.
When I became King of Hyrule, I enchanted it to never die. I wanted it to outlast me, as a symbol of my gratitude for the hard times it got me through.
When I was defeated by the Hero in Ocarina of Time, I attempted to collapse my castle on him. But another part of my magic was used to enchant the Hydromelon to hide behind the throne of whoever the leader of the Gerudo was at that time, to symbolize how the Gerudo lived in Hyrule shadow.
That's why you can find that Hydromelon behind Riju's throne. If I recall, some have picked it's Hydromelon and some have cut the vines. But, like my desire to rule Hyrule, it always comes back.
Always...
The Great King of Evil Ganondorf god damn
Что за... ... ...?
lmaooo
Did you make this account just to write this?
Bro this reads like a nosleep story before the scary bit
3:03 Oh no you didn’t... god damn you have the best arrangements
Just got serious chills at the time code
What’d he do
@@michaelh404 he threw in the main theme
Holy fucking shit...
@@JeanBodhi samee
I never knew this song could sound so emotional, a true artist be you.
You will never stop surprising me! You're a legend!
The interpretation of the piece and the way the arrangement was created is genius. You're so damn creative!!
Like the slow begining and then the melody. And then bam! The theme comes in with a really nice bass, repeated chords with also (and of course) arpeggios.
Also can we talk about the left hand and the repeated notes for a second? Like what the..???
And the end, (lmao) the Gerudo Valley theme becoming more an more powerful with this magnificent conclusion with the Main Zelda theme! I can only say yes!!!!Amazing!!!
We can also talk about the choice of the orange and red colors for synthesia which can remind us of a certain cayon but that's just a little detail at this point... :p
Just Bravo!
:D
Craftmarne love the in depth feedback. Glad you like the color choice. That’s always something I try to make apropos for the source material. Lately I’ve been thinking about spicing up the visuals in some way. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Hey your the same guy who made that calcium joke on the spooky scary skeletons duet video
1:17 I think that would be the classic way of playing, I loved that part: something simple but very clean.👌
My favorite part hehe.
you call it simple but... i’ve been playing piano for five years and am struggling to get past the third page of the sheet music... spent $11 on it on Music Notes .com so I’m not going to give up but OH MY GOD this piece is difficult
Great job, Erik! All the effort you put into this definitely shows. Sounded Lisztian there at the end! Love it.
Jonathan Morris thx man. Glad the extra efforts shines through.
are the best congratulations you are an inspiration to me
This is not the first time you guys uploaded the same song at the exact same time. Is it on purpose? 😋
Confettischeet it is! It’s part of a series called VERSUS where Jonathan, Zebeldarebel and I all try to make the best arrangement on the same theme. Playlist linked in the description.
Erik C: I payed for the whole piano i will use the whole piano.
He's 'Erik C 'Piano Man' NOT Erik C Keyboard Man
This is a stolen comment
It's not a keyboard lol
This is a piano, not a keyboard.
@@soap7004 look at his earlier videos before the digital display. Its an electric piano. Aka keyboard.
Too much epicness to handle.
The fingerwork here is absolutely insane holy shit
I swear, every single one of your arrangements keeps getting better and better! I've wanted this since I heard it in your OOT medley, and now it's a reality! I love how much emotion you put into your playing, it really expresses how amazing the piano itself as an instrument is, and you mastered it. Gerudo Valley is one of my favorite zelda tracks, and you made it better. I'll look up to you for the future beyond as an idol. Amazing work!
Pretty confident that the people who disliked are envious and cant play this themselves, very beautiful arrangement.
Haven't clicked on a video any quicker. Amazing version Erik! Keep it up :)
I think this would work really well in an animated short from Ganondorf's point of view. It could start with him, the only male, made de facto king, ruling over a despairing, dying people. It could show him amassing both magical and physical power, stealing and fighting various desert beasts to earn his place as a heroic king for the Gerudo, and then the ending part where the main overworld theme comes in could be where it catches up with Ocarina of Time and we see Link about to fight Ganon. I really like when I hear a cover and I can almost visualize a story to go with it. Amazing job!
I don't what it's about your covers. They are not only of great skill. But also full of passion, creativty and emotion. I just can't get enough of them. Thank you
Diego Acosta thanks. I always try to put my all into every video and make the best arrangement I can.
0:58 gives me goosebumps everytime
When fans of Gerudo Valley look at covers, I feel like they look at all of the covers TH-cam has to offer and not just one, it's been a while since a GREAT Gerudo Valley has been covered, this one is a BANGER for sure
I’ve been playing the piano for 4 years now, this and the song of storms arrangement is exactly what I need to level up, and they’re absolutely beautiful.
Your arrangements are always so perfect, this channel really is a goldmine for piano covers.
Played for 7 years already but could never imagine a song played with such grace and perfection. Good work
Your rubatos are fucking wonderful, especially your placement of chords at intense moments.
LOVE how you tied in the theme at the end. I wasn't expecting it and it felt so good. Great job with this all around. You captured the feel of the song while making it your own. Thank you for sharing!
I just sit and shut my eyes to listen to this and my god I got full damn body shivers. This is epic. As a long time Zelda fan, I can honestly say your music does the soundtracks more than justice. 💖
I cant even express this with words but literally my jaw dropped so hard and couldn’t stop the tears from coming out, this is absolutely EPIC.!
YESSSS i have listened to your zelda medly over and over and over because the way you arranged Gerudo Valley in there was so amazing, and now you have done the whole thing!! this is insane omgg this puts such a huge smile on my face
This made me imagine if Legend of Zelda was in Kingdom Hearts and I am so here for it! Beautiful!
I love it when people do arrangements of this song, because it almost always sounds incredible. This is far beyond anything I've ever seen or heard!
halfway through learning this! i CANNOT do the beauty of your mastery in piano much justice but wow am i in love with this arrangement & this composition!!!
I love your arrangements, you give my nostalgia new depth and life. I can tell you put a lot of time into this one, it came out wonderfully. Proud of you!
Stop teasing me, man... That ending giving me a taste of what your arrangement of the main theme could sound like makes me want it so badly!
This is incredible the ending was so grand and masterfully created! Marvelous job!
As someone who wants to learn piano I just want you to know you've crushed my dreams.
Guess I'll go back to drumming
I thought it was COVID making me feel this way, but no way! I got the chills from this song! Especially the part at 1:08. Amazing!
Oh dude this brings back memories on when I used to wake up at 12 AM and just grind the spirit temple (for those of you who don't know, gerudo Valley leads to the spirit temple)
IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL
I REMEMBER NOT LIKING THIS SONG WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, BUT OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO GREAT
I'm always coming back to this video because it's just the best piano cover I've ever heard. No hyperbole.
Wow, brought tears to my eyes, im listining this with my 2 year old daughter and she told me "daddy dont cry". Masterpiece!
I love the key that this song is in... very powerful, beautiful, and elegant. And the tone is amazing too.
I usually don't like when people put their own spin on well known pieces but you did this justice big time nice job
This made my heart start racing!!!! Bravo my dude
I will be following this video with great interest😊 great work buddy! Love the Liszt-like bass pattern at 1:17. You know me, toccata’s are my favorite!!!
Thx man. That bit with the repeated notes is one of the more tricky parts.
There are some Bach like parts in the end where you transition to the main theme
My favorite of all your covers❤️❤️👌
I love the Gerudo Valley Theme! You arrangement for it is so cool and impressive! It’s a bit more complex than the one in my Zelda piano book haha! I love your own opening scene of it! You should do some more BOTW songs! I think it would be really cool if you arranged some of them! Keep up the amazing work!
your left hand fast keystroke thumb technique is quite staggering....i love how you avoid the fatigue by doing that!
Takes an absolute genius to take such a simple melody from a video game and turn it into a complete fucking masterpiece. Well. Done.
This is truly a masterpiece.......
UN. BE. LIEVABLE. Erik. I DON'T THINK THAT YOU COULD'VE DONE THE SONG ANY BETTER JUSTICE! You really put a lot of effort into this. Koji Kondo's career has been turned on its head. I'm speechless at how well this was put together. Keep up this PHENOMENAL work, my friend.
God those tremolos look difficult! Good job Erik!
this is entire arrangement is so beautiful omfg goosebumps
At first I was like😶
And now I’m like 😧
So talented I wished to play piano like you someday, you inspire me so much :)
with all respect to jonathan, you totally smashed this one. even zeldarebel's duet arrangement couldn't keep up with your chords. all respect to you my friend.
I played oot as a kid and I never got far enough to hear this song, but damn this hits different
This is amazing, I love how the deep tone of the piano makes it sound like a bass roughly playing. It just brings the entire song together. Nice work!
No tengo idea de como terminé acá pero puedo decir que es lo mejor que me toco ver en el día de hoy. Felicitaciones camarada, un arreglo digno de un emisario de los cielos.
literally perfect
2:08 though less power instrumentally, nostalgically or whatever you want to call it delivers a stronger blow to the feels that is my musical receptor. Way too drunk to comment on a TH-cam comment section, bit what the hell, right?
If this arrangement was a classic piano song, it'd be one of the most hard to play. You actually did it and that's so damn awesome
fantastic and impressive arrangement. but it's naive to say it's comparable to among the hardest classical songs. I could point to endless ridiculous pieces th-cam.com/video/ka2lrfp5C-g/w-d-xo.htmlm3s

I keep checking at certain points to make sure that I’ve dropped a like on these videos, and every time I’m disappointed that I can’t do it again.
This is just jaw-dropping. One of my favorite games of all time and one of the best themes from any game, ever. Keep it up!!
Imagine how long it must take to play this song good. At my current level, I'd say it would take me about a month practicing everyday to at least know what to play. Then another month or so to get accuracy. My hands would probably fall off.
true
The gates to my childhood memories was burst open by this piano cover...exquisite..
When your left hand's index finger feels idle: JUST USE IT. 1:17
Rediscovering the wonders of video game music on piano is truly a great feeling
Great job piano man, can you please also do ballad of the goddess from the legend of Zelda skyward sword
Obito Uchiha it’s on the list!
Thank you so much
Piano + Zelda + tracksuit
Thou, Sir, are a man of taste.
I clicked on one of your videos and have been watching for 2+ hours. I'm addicted! Awesome job and you've got another sub!
Me: *sees first bit* "ah, this is easy! I'll learn this in no time!
Me 30 seconds later: 👁️👄👁️
👄
👁 👁
literally me, i purchased the sheet music for this a MONTH ago and i still only have the first page memorized because i’m only on my fourth year of piano and do NOT have this technique or skill. i didn’t even know this key existed!! F-sharp minor?? also reading sheet music gives me a headache so i’ll definitely have to wait a few years before playing this
After ten seconds I had goose bumps all over my back: what an amazing arrangement!!! This should be brought to the attention of the Zelda staff!! Wonderful!!
I was looking for this. THIS THE HARDEST GERUDO VALLEY IVE HEARD
This versiom could be the best boss battle theme for Ganondorf...
This took my breath away. Fantastic!!
This song makes me wanna cry and I dont know why
Kyubei oot was amazing and it should be countinued after mm
@@orangevod6122 yes.
@@orangevod6122 tbh oot is my favorite game ever
For me the music from Chrono Trigger does the same thing. Got chills from this though!
I cannot express how much I love this piece. I've only been playing for four years but I aspire to have the skill and dedication to play one of your pieces. Definitely buying!!!!
Lost for words n emojis but wow that arrangement had so much feeling, it told a story in itself...just pure mastery and epicness on levels unattainable by a mere mortal like me. I eternally bow down to my lord. 🔥🔥🔥🤴
I got chills listening to 3:04, and then they wouldn't stop, I kept getting them, this piece is genuinely amazing
I love how one guy in live chat said: can’t wait to play this myself
Good luck practicing buddie
No for real if you practice this a lot eventually you will be able to play it and it will make you better at piano for sure.
@jebi ga It is worth it for sure piano is a really good way to release stress and also it's fun. You need to start easy and with songs you like. work your way up to harder songs and impress people with your skills. You don't have to be perfect or anything as long as you have fun
@jebi ga Of course it's still worth it. I'm 30 and started a few months ago and can already play a couple of the simpler songs that I really like (road to zanarkand + nuvole bianche) Imagine if you start now, you'll have 11 years of piano by the time you reach my age! Just be consistent with it and you'll see very rapid improvement
There are a thousand people who either hated this or think they can do better. I swear, some people.
Dude
Dude

HOW IN NEPTUNE THIS HASNT REACHED A GOSH DARN MILLION I ASK YOU?!?!?!
These videos have taught me a lot about hand placement.
Yo don’t you guys think that the legend of Zelda just has the best soundtracks
Btw you played amazing!
This is a great video! keep up the amazing content!
B+
The improvisations are fantastic, but much of the spirit of the original is lost. Also, some parts should have been more aggressive. Ultimately, sounds like an expert pianist playing a piece to a game they never played.
Those Gerudo Valley warriors are so GORGEOUS to me. You pulled me in with the thumbnail and kept me here with your TREMENDOUS arrangement.
Superb 👌🏾👌🏾
why did you delete the sheets from the site? does that mean we will never get the sheets for gusty garden galaxy and all your zelda arrangements? i cant say it often enough how much i appreciate your work...
If you pay close attention, you can see that his piano is shaking.... or is it his camera??? NOPE! I'm pretty sure it's his Piano! lol
Damn that 00:28 second run
What a great mix of epicness, joy, sadness, hope, nostalgia. That's truly a piece that resonate with me for some reason.
3:19 Main theme?
The Zelda music is so magical and amazing and makes the gameplay 5x better
