    You know I hate when people say “video games are a waste of time” I can see where some are but The Legend of Zelda was worth every minute I spent playing. Mostly because the imagination it inspired in me and most of all the music. The game is the reason I bought a quality ocarina to learn to play and want to learn piano so I can play Ganon’s tower theme. Majorca’s mask and Ocarina of time were masterpieces and the music is what fuels my care for those games to this day. God Bless Koji Kondo.

    Lost an old friend in a car accident a couple days ago and he’s who got me into Ocarina of Time back when we were about 5 years old. This brought back so many wonderful memories. Needless to say I was full blown sobbing by the middle of Great Fairy’s Fountain. Thank you so much, this music means a great deal to me.

    I’ll be honest, I never played ocarina of time, but just hearing the music makes me wish I did. I never really listen to game soundtracks but Zelda has some of not the best music, and that’s why it’s so memorable. You here these songs and you remember when you were young and the only thing that mattered was you just got the new legend of Zelda for your Nintendo 64 and you feel that happiness, that joy of getting to play another adventure. Just the other day I beat dark souls remastered and I cried, because as i killed gwyn, the song reminded of my first time playing the game, and how happy I felt when I finally beat gwyn after so many days of trial and error. It showed me that gaming isn’t just about graphics and cool features, but the soundtrack and emotional ties to everything. When I played the last of us, I barley shed a tear, but when I finally finished off the souls series I cried. But just hearing this games soundtrack and all other games in the legend of Zelda series I gives me that sense of emotional ties, even though I’ve only played twilight princess and breath of the wild. Recently I’ve been noticing that’s games are going downhill, as in games are just getting more boring now. Like with every shooter, pick the biggest gun and shoot anything that moves is the way to play. We need a company, or anyone really, to bring gaming back to what it was, about making memories with your friends and emotional ties to the games that we all love to play. I’ll even say we need another Zelda like series but with it’s own originality, we’re the music brings you in and the characters lock you into the game, or like dark souls were the true emotional value is prevailing against all odds and giving you that sense to keep going no matter what. Now I just realized I wrote this in less time than my school English final, which isn’t very shocking.

      @BoydTheMilkmanX 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Games aren't going downhill. You're just stupid.
      There are more companies making games than at any time in the past with more quality control than any time in the past and now a huge flourishing market of indie studios. Games are getting better and better you just aren't looking in the right places. The same studios don't make good games in perpetuity it has never been like that. Not a single studio has the rep it had 10, or even 20 years ago.
      If you just stick to the same games yeah you will notice they might decline in quality or you might get bored of exhaustion but games are not getting worse. Even with the bad shit the industry has now for problems it will never be like the video game crash which was caused by 0 fucks 0 quality control 0 variety.

    You are truly a fantastic pianist.
    I love that you always try to post sheet music! I really hate it when pianists are stingy with their sheets and demand $15+ for a single song, or won't offer them at all. You are one of the very few who is really looking out for fellow pianists and that's something I really admire.
    Keep it up!

    • @ErikCPianoman
