I am so excited for Breath of the Wild. I am so excited for the Nintendo Switch. AAAAH. I'm a huge mobile gamer these days, so the idea of playing games like The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild on the go is just AMAZING to me - really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these bad boys! Let's hope A Link to the Past comes to Virtual Console...
I wanted to do another Legend of Zelda cover to help transition out of the Wii covers I've been doing (Mii Channel and Wii Shop were received so well - thank you so much!), and I thought the Dark World theme would be a great candidate! I was really inspired by a Victor Wooten tune called 2 Timers off his album Palmystery, which switches back and forth between 4/4 and 7/4!
Thanks to my Patreon supporters, I was able to hire an editor for this video! Big thanks to SunderCR for editing the majority of this video and saving me a lot of time :)

Thanks for the great cover!! It sounds great!! I know I'll be stuck listening to this until your next video comes out! ;) *wink wonk*
OMFG THANK U FOR MAKING Eb SHEET MUSIC
Will we perhaps see a LoZ jazz album in the future? That would be awesome!
It's possible. Other series have priority though! Chrono Trigger, Pokemon DPPT :)
Oh man a Chrono Trigger jazz album would amazing! I think it would "stand the test of time" if you know what I mean. ;^D
A lot of people who cover songs in different styles (I.e. jazz) tend to go overboard with changing the song to the point that it's hardly recognizable. Others keep it entirely unchanged without adding any originality to it.
But you? You strike that perfect balance. Keep it up!
Thanks so much man. That's exactly what I try to do with my arrangements, add just the right amount of originality to tunes beloved by many video game fans!
MelodicDragon97 I agree!
While I would normally agree, the part from 2:47 to 3:50 sounds quite unrecognisable to me.
Hjalti Petersen it wouldn't be jazz without an improvised solo my dude!
Hjalti Petersen its a freakin sax solo, why would you recognize it?
long time fan, just wanted to say I love you
Thanks so much man :D
Bruh how are you here??
Iron Pineapple?
Whoa it's the legend himself
He is only here because he sensed a high concentration of SOUL.
Always wondered why the Dark World theme sounded so upbeat when it was the ruined Sacred Realm, but now this cover's got me wanting a futuristic noir Zelda where Link's a detective tasked with traveling to the underbelly of the multilayered and highly sophisticated Hyrule City to retrieve a stolen part of a planned new electric generator from the Dragmire Gang.
...
I swear, I didn't even really try to think of that, it just came into my head all at once.
Greatlord Shadox sounds epic! i wish companies would listen more to fan ideas.i guess that is why people create their own fan games, huh?
Greatlord Shadox Someone did something like this I think last year, in retrospect it was a cool idea but I don't think they executed it very well but I guess there's always room for improvement.
Honestly, I don't see it being that great of an idea as just a _Zelda_ game. I feel it would probably be better if you just took inspiration for the designs and character personalities, but did your own thing with it so it could feel right.
It will be hard to explain (Eng' isn't my native language..), but there is a kind of theory about the games which will follow TWW, PH and ST line : We leaved Hyrule, change a sailing ship for one with a "motor", and then a train.
This can show that the game will follow can take place in an "industrial" world. Plus, there is no "divinity", godess or something mystical in ST, no Ganondorf, only a "Link" not linked to the prophety anyway.(No Demise descendant, the curse ended in TWW, 'cauz Ganondorf is sealed in the submerged Hyrule)
What you sayed made me think of this, and I wanted to share it. This is kind of interesting.
This could be so original and refreashing for a Zelda's game to change litteraly his type of world.. ;P
I hadn't thought of that. Come to think of it, I suppose it really _could_ be used for that timeline, hundreds of years in the future. Either way, it doesn't really seem like a concept that they'd use, as it errs more towards sci-fi, whereas they've been doing a cool technological fantasy thing - and it works really well! Looking forward to Breath of the Wild and future games to see what they do with it, that's for sure!
Might I ask what your native language is, though? Your last sentence makes me think it might be French, but since that's the only language I've completed classes for (though I'm in a Japanese class now), I might just be biased. ;)
I love the bass part's that mingle with the saxophone stuff. Great cover!
that sax motif/lick playing throughout the track is SO TIGHT
You mean the sax bebop lick thing? That one was hard to play :p
And now the bass? Honestly, what can't you play?
probs the ContraBassoon
Smoore didgeridoo?
Maybe the wind chimes
The triangle. Only professionals can play that elusive example of a perfect percussion instrument.
Very true
Goodness, my request ended up happening. What sort of heaven did I stumble upon? Very cool interpretation of one of my favorite Zelda tracks. After hearing this, nothing can ruin my day now.
Thanks for listening man
Can we get a Bossa Nova style cover of Zora's Domain from OOT
That would be lovely~~
I like the way you think, my friend
Foreshadowing?
how bout just straight up New Wave Bossa Nova
Edude13 That would be absolutely spectacular 😃
The thing I love about your music is that you work to make it your own. Its not simply the same song played with jazz instruments, you take the original and make it into jazz. One of my favorite Zelda tracks, now I love it even more.
Thanks man! That's exactly what I try to do with my stuff :)
Ok dude let me just say that from a musical standpoint, your an absolute legend! 7/4 time signature is a really difficult way to play this song and you did it so dang well, I’m impressed a ton!
Oh I know you got some Wooten in here, loved how well you got the bass into this one man! And hats off to Sunder this was a solid video edit!
Literally walked past Wooten on my way to class on Friday morning - lol
insaneintherainmusic damn this mans not playing around.
I am so happy that you brought back a cover in 7/4... Also dude, your solo's are just becoming more and more killer, the stories that you are telling have just been increasing in detail as well. I take it Berkeley has been treating you well?
Thank you so much man! Berklee is great ;)
That is great :D CWU has been treating me well, even though I have only been playing sax for 2.5 years, I have been just getting so much better. I can't wait to upgrade my Martin Committee III though, but right now I am staying with it till I have money. It is good enough for now, but the maintenance is a lot for it :/ You gonna do Jazz Band next quarter or just a combo again? I think I am going to do both.
This is a sick cover. One of a kind cover you'll find on TH-cam. There's tons of metal and dubstep dedicated to these tunes, but this jazz is so creative. It isn't a remake, it is a total revision.
Thanks so much, man, that's what I try to do with all my arrangements!
I love how I literally just beat Link Between Worlds last night and the next day I see this as the first thing in my sub box. Awesome job as always, Insane!
Hey, I have great timing, thanks man :D
I always liked this song (and a good chunk of zelda music tbh), but DANG THIS IS GREAT! HOW ARE YOU CAPABLE OF MAKING THIS EVEN BETTER THEN IT ALREADY WAS!
I don't pop in very often, but over the years it been great to see you grow, I have no doubt in my mind that your musical footprints will be looked back on for generations.
I really appreciate comments like this, man. It's like when people don't comment for a while, their next comment will be even better as if they've been charging their comment power or something... Thank you. Leaving a legacy is important to me!
That hammer-on at 0:32 made me so freakin' happy.
I practiced that bass part so much!!!
That time you grab an already godlike music and turn it into something even more godlike.
I swear your work got even stronger since you went to college. Your power level is now over 9000!
That's why I went to school for this man! So glad you're noticing the improvements :)
YES thank you Carlos this is exactly what I needed in my life
This song is so nice.... I love it, it's so ambient
You missed your chance to record with bunny ears. It will NEVER come up again.
Also dope ass cover my dude
But... headphones are more important than bunny ears!
In my opinion, this is probably one of your best covers EVER! 7/4, man. When it works, it works heavenly. You just earned a subscriber.
I'm so used to hearing 7 as 2+2+3, 2+3+2, or 3+2+2, but this one is 2+2+1.5+1.5!! I never thought of dividing it like this! This opens up so many cool new possibilities for me! Thank you!!
The smoothest piece you'e ever done, the composition and sound quality...has my enthusiastic APPROVAL! I think I have a new favorire song.
Thanks a bunch :)
I've heard multiple jazz covers of Dark World, and yet this one is unique! Great job putting your own spin on it, Carlos!
Glad to see some Zelda stuff from you! I've always loved jazz and I've always loved Zelda, so seeing them together is a lovely thing to wake up to. Keep it up!
Thanks for listening man :D
I'm kinda actually in love with these sounds you're producing. You just made my *soul* blush.
How have you not done a song from F-ZERO? Crazy
Oh man.... I haven't, have I?
I can only imagine how awesome a Big Blue cover would be...
insaneintherainmusic MUTE CITY MAI DOOD
Big Blue, big band.
and then this week happened lmao
your talent to play multiple instruments proficiently always blows me away man. awesome cover!
Thanks so much!
never has the dark world sounded so good oh yeah!!!
There's something about the saxophone- whenever people are THAT good at sax, it just seems so effortless and easy, like the music just flows from every part of their being. Even though to play at this level is not easy at all!!
It's not easy at all, haha! Thanks so much man :)
This cover needs about 1 million more views and likes
I mean, honestly, who doesn't love this song?
Man, those runs in the solo at 2:44 were so CLEAN. Major props, dude!! Fantastic cover!
I still think there's room to improve there :p
But thanks so much for listenig :DD
My love for jazz has increased immensely with this cover.
Keep up the good work, good sir. 👍
Thanks so much!
one of my favorite Zelda themes
Man that syncopated buildup in the 12/8 part 5 minutes in really got me - totally unexpected! Keep doing stuff in weird meters, dude; it really sounds epic!
Thanks man! That's probably my favorite part of this arrangement :)
wow ! One of your best cover for me, I really love this arrangement.
A fellow smash player by the name of Izaw is one reason why I’ve been subscribed to this awesomeness 🔥
dude seriously how do you compose these, they're super creative but still hold to the original song. like the quality you put out is insane
+Zane Webb usually just involves me listening to a few other jazz tunes and combining some elements from them with a sick video game tune! Thanks man :)
Love this theme so much
Oh, man. This is my favorite cover of yours in a while. SUPER snazzy, dude.
There's always a lot of creativity and beauty in your jazzy arrangements :)
I could have never imagined that this song could be re-arranged like this and sound that good. This is simply amazing!!!!
I gotta say dude, I don't watch ALL your videos, but every time I click on one of your vids in my sub box I am floored, and I ask myself why I don't click every time. You are so insanely talented and somehow manage to get better and better with each cover. Keep it up and I hope school is good!
Maybe you should watch more of my vids then... ;) Kidding of course, watch as many as you please :) Thanks man, school is great!
Oh my god this is so good. Usually I don't like remixes but your work are just awesome.
Thank you so so so much, I try to provide content that can be loved by everyone :)
That bass solo was pretty sweet, oh and all the sax runs OMG!! :D
Thanks man :D
I await your next cover with bated breath. I bet it's going to be wild.
**breath of the wild intensifies**
Serious giant steps vibes with the solo around 3 minutes, those drums just make it so fast
That opening bass solo though 👌🔥👌🔥👌🔥
I practice that a crapton, dude, had to get that down pat!
YES
This cover gave me chills - very well done, sir!
Im a long time watcher, and i must say the improvement in your playing is awesome. The pieces have been more intricately composed and youre developing a more individual and confident tone. Great piece.
Thanks for sticking around and appreciating my improvement - that's what music school does for ya :)
HEY INSANE!!!!! i really like ur zelda covers. hoping ur gonna do botw ones
Definitely!
HOLY FUCK! That was absolutely amazing!! I love all of the time signature changes, rhythmical changes, and especially all of the interesting phrases you put into this. I can tell that a lot of effort went into this and that really inspires me to keep making stuff. Thanks for all of the great music and keep up the great work! :D
Thanks so much for noticing all the work that goes into this type of production :D
No problem! I hope you never stop improving.
That bass sounds amazing, and this time signature is really funky - fits the song pretty well! I also your chords, especially in the beginning. Great cover!
Thanks man!
Request:
Could you use brass players more often???? As a trumpet player i would love to hear some trumpets and trombones on these arrangements.
I'd like to, but collaborations are particularly difficult to do in under a week. Trumpets and trombones would be nice, I'd like to have them too, but they'd have to be an occasional element.
insaneintherainmusic yo hmu if u need some trombone
I play trombone!! Honestly you're my favourite channel I'd love to do a collab with you! :o
oh man such an awesome music. i was gonna sugest ballad of the wind fish, but you even did that! great work as always.
You sir, have outdone yourself with this one!
Whao, probably my fav music in lttp, the piano part adds alot of surprises
Thanks! Wrote some reharm into this piece!
That solo was sick
A really cool atmosphere you created with this cover! The bass intro totally made me want to get my bass out and play it again! Nice work as always Carlos :)
The bass intro isn't too hard to play, really! Took me a few hours of practice to get it done :)
the harmonies in this arrangement are so tasty!!! very well done!
Thanks for listening man!
That bass intro oooof
yaaaaas one of my favorite Zelda games and songs! this is incredible!
Thank you :DDD
Ayy, you know how to pick 'em! Personal favorite zelda song, and my favorite cover of yours! Thanks for the music.
Thanks so much man! Glad you like this one that much :)
This cover is fucking litttttttttttt. Easily one of the best I have seen for this particular piece.
You earned a sub my dude
Thanks so much man. Really appreciate you joining me! I put out new videos like this one every Saturday at 12:30 PM EST :)
World's tastiest bass intro
I HAD TO PRACTICE SO MUCH FOR THAT
This is quite possibly one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Every single on of your arrangements that I have listened to has been absolutely phenomenal. Keep it up! :)
You got the spirit of that theme.
ah thank you :)
Damn good job on this one. Like that sudden rhythm change near the end of the song.
Thanks a ton! Yeah, that's metric modulation :)
Best cover of that song ever... Love what you have done with it...
Thanks so much man :)
for your question in the description i think link to the past is already on the virtual console. It on the wii U virtual console and it's kind of the same virtual console of the two of them.
This is by far my favorite one you guys have done! Its just so awesome!!!
Thank you so much for listening, this was a really fun one to make :)
I just think it's SO INCREDIBLE how fast you can play your saxophone! You're truly a saxophone wizard! 😆
incredible. amazing swing with bebop style, nailed changes
Love bebop!
So good, as per; really captured the essence of the original while still making it something new and interesting. Can't wait to see that bass in the (eventual) Chrono Trigger Battle cover!
One of these days!! Glad you liked it :)
My god, a minute and 28 seconds in and I already lost it; this is lovely
So glad you liked it that :)
The Dark World has never sounded so sexy because DANG THAT BASS INTRO. And I love the energy change once the sax kicks in. holy shit jazzy nostalgia
man that part at about minute 4 is groovy. good job!
YES. So much nostalgia.
:D
Beyond excellent. Despite being recognizable, you've made something entirely new here. Six minutes of pure genius. Bravo.
2:31
My god.
Just...
Wow.
All right! Thats the spirit!
That bass tone is great.
It's straight DI!
With this six minute video, you have inspired me and entertained me for hours. Thank you Carlos.
Dude, appreciate it
Oh snap! A beautiful LoZ jazz cover from one of the most memorable themes in the game series! Perfect cover on this Carlos! Loved that bass opening!
high quality sound waves
Good God man, it's incredible to see how far you've come as an arranger, sax player, improviser, and just an all around musician in just 4 years. This arrangement kicks ass my man. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much! I'm glad to see you think these skills are continuously growing :)
Holy mother of... this is amazing! I am blown away.
So glad you liked it :)
Mii Channel Theme, Wii Shop Theme, and now Dark World Theme... Carlos it's like you're making these just for me
maybe I am!!!!
I hear that Brecker influenced solo. Keep it up kid. That's sick
omg I've been waiting for this thanks so much my prayers have been answered.its smooth as silk but it really hits the spot.keep it up!
So glad you liked it man :)
Carlos. I've waited for this for long. I appreciate it.
OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH
Haven't clicked a video so quickly in quite a while. Jazzy Dark World? Sign me the * up!
This song exudes malice and fear.
Or at least it's supposed to.
But you make it sound like Link's on a mission, rather than faced with a huge conflict. This whole song was perfect, and I am am so excited to see what's next in terms of Zelda music.
Here's to that hopeful Breath of the Wild album, my dude.
Thanks so much man! Doubting that there will be a full BOTW album... but perhaps.
Oh no the feels.
That 7/4 jam, so good
Thanks so much!
Wow youre good on the timing i just played it thorugh a week ago :D
Great as always, love the sax
