Guys guys guys I know most of y’all don’t follow me for music WIPs,,,, b u t
I’ve been working on an arrangement of The Champion Revali for a while - I don’t have much experience writing for orchestra, so it’s been trial and error. But today I worked hard on the intro and I just HAVE to share it!
I’m still adding, subtracting and overall changing stuff, and the project is far from finished… but, like… wheeee! Percussion!!

I've spent basically the last month working almost non-stop on these drawings for my recital, and I'm really proud of how they all turned out! It was a challenge to do such detailed backgrounds 😱😱😱
(I did not draw the logo myself, that would've taken too long 😖)

Have I ever talked about how much I love the beast Ganon battle from Twilight Princess? First of all, the music is so primal. It's percussion heavy and its got this wild deep chanting and the melody itself is just...strange. It's the perfect accompaniment to the fight because all the decorum is thrown out the window. Forget honor and pride. Forget swords and sorcery. In this moment, Link and Ganondorf are just two beasts trying to literally tear each other apart. Ganon tries to gore Link with his tusks, and Link rips into Ganon's stomach wound with his fangs. It's so violent and animalistic and it makes me fucking feral.

The Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concert [Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO]

I didn't think they'd be opening with Tears of the Kingdom. They had me crying in the first 30 seconds.

I actually prefer BotW and TotK's more atmospheric music over the more "traditional" Zelda music. It doesn't get repetitive as quickly

Current preferred practice is to drop a post and run since Tumblr is Stress Zone for me rn 💪🏾❤️‍🩹
So I forgot I didn't share this here. I got a lyre for my birthday and I've been learning various LoZ songs, as I am of course prone to doing. I learned this from Samantha On Mars' tutorial.

i’ll never get enough of the reversed vocals/choir in TOTK like they always give me goosebumps. the shrine completion music and going down below hyrule castle hits different, and it gives a breath of fresh air the game needed to make it stand out.
the fact the vocals are reversed also fits with the theme of the game and foreshadows in a way, that zelda goes back in time, so it’s like the music is recalling the past in a way.
the blood moon building up music also counts in this regard i think. even if it isn’t reversed it still gives similar/the same effect.

You know who's an underrated, amazing video game pianist is?
Aqare.
Aqare, spelled as Aq(ua)re minus the (u) because i had mistyped his name so many times before
His technique and vividness for a video game pianists are very special in this field, the skillset combined with his passion are out of this world.
He is a very special artist.
The identity of his works are, by themselves, one of a kind.
The dedication for each note to be heard clearly, cleanly, while keeping the dynamics fresh from start to end is unmatched.
Every note is rung alive with the highest quality, you can feel how much work he had put in each and every one of his art:
Hyrule Warriors - Age of Calamity:
youtube
The Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom:
youtube
Dark souls:
youtube
Mario Kart Wii:
youtube
Xenoblade Chronicles:
youtube
His latest work — Octopath Traveler:
youtube
This exceptional cover of Dragon Roost Island —
The Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker:
youtube
And finally, this absolutely legendary arrangement of Dark Beast Ganon which made me discover and fall in love with his channel in the first place —
The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild:
youtube
Last note
He gives out all of his sheet music for free, without a need for any type of paywall nor subscription nor login form,
by sharing direct links to download from his google drive files in each and every video description,
so literally anyone who wants to try the music for themselves, can get into it immediately.
In a world where everything is rapidly converted into a product, his works, the pure artistry with such dedication and effort to the original essences, are very very very important for me to preserve and support.

Zelda Suite Studio???
and if it's okay to ask for more than one... Untitled WIP #9?
Hi Lou! Thank you for asking!
For the Zelda Suite studio project, I've been working on the Zelda suite for about two years. I played it on my undergrad senior recital with a harpist last year, and for my first master's recital this year, I got the opportunity to perform it with a full band, and it was really magical! I was already planning on making a (home) studio recording of the Zelda suite with just me and a synthesized backtrack for a while, but synthesizers wouldn't be the same after playing with real musicians. So I decided it was worth it to reach out to them about collaborating again on the (home) studio version of the suite! (Being an introvert who hates bothering people, it was a bit nerve wracking, but they all seemed happy to play again.) I'm currently working on click tracks to send to everyone for remote recording, so I don't have much to actually show yet, haha 😅 Anyways, please stay tuned, because I'm planning a lot more with the Zelda suite and I'm really excited!
As far as Untitled Artwork #9, it's this lol
Tumblr media
One day last fall, I decided to practice motion drawing with Nintendo official art. I never did anything more than the base poses for these, haha! See how many poses you recognize lol 😂

Zelda Main Theme/Title screen tier list
before we begin, this is my own opinion and preference in music! we all have different taste, so dont let mine invalidate yours!
Tumblr media
im putting explinations for my choices below the cut, so if you wanna hear me yap about zelda music nows your chance
Triforce Heros: 10/10 i absolutely ADORE the triforce heros sound track! (actually listening to it as I type this) its such an underappreciated title (being the "bootleg" four swords lol) but has such good composition its hard not to love it. its similar to botw's rito songs in which acordians are found in a lot of the tracks- anyway back to the topic of the main theme: its great. a refreshing change from the main zelda theme (as was trend with the DS games) and has a lot of character to it. high energy too!! exactly what i want to hear! a straight vibe that id wait to start the game just to listen a little longer
Spirit Tracks: i think we all know why this is 10/10 spirit tracks is another one of those underrated titles, especially for its music! i love how the melody (extremely catchy by the way) is played by a flute here, corresponding to the instrument you get in game :) it feels like im about to embark on an epic cross country ride
Wind Waker: even without knowing the plot of the game it feels like a sailor tune that would be played at dinner on a ship. its simple, and cutesy like the games art style, but fun and catchy too! a classic, one that really gets you into that sea fairing mood
TOTK: The only reason this one isn't higher is because I don't like that beginning bit with all the weird whisper singing. it fits the game really well! its just not my favorite sound in the world, but the melody hits HARD and really plays with the emotion of the scene that accompanies it in game. its high energy, but not in the same way triforce heros was, rather in an epic way rather than bouncy (if that makes sense?) its composed SO well, AND THAT BIT WITH THE SMALL BIRST OF PICCOLO??? chefs kiss. favorite part. not to mention the small zelda's lullaby motif at the end?? THE BOTW MOTIF??????
Skyward Sword: ballad of the goddess is genuinely just SUCH a good song, and the way its composed for the main theme gets you in all the right ways. the deep brass makes it very dramatic, especially with the drums it uses (love me some boomy drums). I love the woodwinds playing with the brass too! scratches the itch just right
BOTW: another great theme! it manages to change up the format a bit, but still keeps that dramatic vibe a zelda theme should have (for the more serious games, I mean, triforce heros doesnt count-) the acordian returns!! the melody! oh my god the melody!!!! its definitely a breath of fresh air (hehe get it?) it manages to encapsulate what a plesant breeze blowing against your face feels like somehow, and im living for it. i love the use of the dragon instruments after the pause! it feels like all the different cultures of botw hyrule has been rolled into this song with the instruments and all that
hyrule warriors: bet you weren't expecting that one, huh? its the only semi-traditional zelda theme in the top tier, and why? im a bitch for motifs, okay? I wasn't diging it at first, because it just sounded like a recomp of the classic zelda theme just really damn epic, but then it hit me with that tiny twilight princess motif and I knew I was in for a ride. THE BALLAD OF THE GODDESS MOTIF GAVE ME CHILLS i was not expecting it at ALL! and tHEN IT TRANSITIONED INTO HYRULE FIELD FROM TP??? AND THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN LATER IN THE SONG? i love you hyrule warriors NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER MOTIFS IT SHOVES IN THERE?? OOT?? MORE TP????? i am unapologetically a motif lover and i will stand by my decision
Minish Cap: i was ranking the track "story" since the intro screen was just 8 seconds and not really a song. i love how peaceful it sounds, and really befitting for a legend. ironically, it reminds me of The Legend from deltarune in a way. the whole song feels like an exposition, and personally one of my favorites which is why it ranked so high
Age of Calamity: ah, hyrule warriors' more popular, edgy, younger sibling. i wont lie to you, the melody is killer! and i love how it goes from eriee to epic final battle-esk music half way through. it feels like a final stand, and my GOD is it good
Twilight Princess: its so empty and woeful sounding, yet oh so full of hope and light i can't help but love it. its so pretty, so SO pretty. it does so much with so little and thats one of the things i love about it. i think the best compliment you can recieve is "you look the way the twilight princess main theme sounds" plus the wolf howl at the end is so funny
Ocarina of Time: i love that OOT makes the ocarina the main melody player and started the trend of the main game instrument being featured in the title/main theme. this one is pretty in a different way than twilight princess, this one is peaceful which is so misleading from the actual game story that i love it even more
Links Awakening (2019 Switch Remake): I separated this one from LADX because its VERY different from the original opening. Obviously, this one isnt retro music and that kind of adds to it, but its also the different beginning bit that sets it apart. the small mabe village motif before the actual zelda theme plays? love it. i really liked how they composed this version with all the different koholint instruments, it was like giving the song a new coat of paint. i love the classic zelda theme, but once you hear it so many ways it can get a little old, so it was great to see them do it like this :)
Majora's Mask: this is really only ranked so high because clock town is an absolute killer song, and I listen to it on loop. the only other reason is because that sharp turn at the end? my god its so disruptive but so good at the same time. the way the background cello gets intruppted by an ominous bass that grows louder, and how the clock town melody abruptly stops? such an amazing and indirect way forebode the dark theming of the story. both MM and OOT have such peaceful themes for their story lines, its good to see mm actually show that in the theme music
The Legend of Zelda: a classic, and what started it all. its simplistic with a great, strong melody, and i like how its paced a lot slower than most of the other games. that opening bit and the transition with the bassline is my favorite part.
Four Swords Adventure: this was another one I wasn't digging at first, but once you got into the meat of the song it was really nice. It starts as one melody, but gains a trumpet echo and a violin. its somehow chaotic but cohesive? i like how that reflects on the game
Oracle of Ages/ Seasons: OOA/S has nearly the same exact theme as LADX and four swords, only composed slightly differently. It keeps things simple, yet its very effective and plesant to listen to. a bouncy rendition of the main loz theme, just like FS and LADX. the only reason this one is ranked higher is because i liked the lower tone of the ooa/s rendition compared to LADX
Four Swords: im going to be honest, the retro sounding bassline with what i think is a snare? it felt a little strange, but i liked the little bits of the higher sounds acompanying the melody here with it. it felt like it was trying to be grand, but didn't quite hit what it was aiming for all the way. it was the beginning that through me off, really-
Links Awakening DX: simple, effective, yet a little too simple compared to the previous two since its the same rendition just with different make ups (if thats the right term) i know it was literally the 4th game to come from the series, but the original zelda theme felt like it had a bit more going on. still a good rendition of the main theme though! i like its bounciness
A Link to the Past: iconic. but, this was difficult to categorize since theres not much of a title theme? theres the selection screen music, but that became the fairy theme so i dont know if that counts either? either way its an 18 second clip or the fairy theme, which both are good, but just not really a show stopper (dont come at me alttp fans i dont mean it like that!! spare me!! mercy!!!!)
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: why are you so LOUD holy cow- i like the theme, its pretty, but its short so it gets repetative if ykwim. i like the part with what im assuming is supposed to be some sort of bassline :) its my favorite part
Phantom Hourglass: i know its a wind waker sequal and i guess it makes sense, but just reusing the great sea music and changing up a part slightly felt kind of lazy to me? i do like the parts they added though! i think they're great sounding! but still feels a little lazy :(
A Link Between Worlds: I know what you may be thinking: "why is it so low? you LOVE albw" and to that I have to say, you know me so well, dear reader. You will also know, that just like the game its made after, there isnt really a title/main theme. the intro bit is about the same length as alttp so it gives you little to work with in terms of song. plus after the opening bit, it just kinda repeates the same few notes. going through the playlist i was kind of disappointed getting to albw, because at least alttp had selection music. this game has some of my favorite tracks to come from the series in it too so the intro being as it was (outside of a music standpoint, the intro is absolutely epic, don't get me wrong) i was just sad
anywayy! that was all of them!! if you actually sat there and read all of that, im proud of you. thanks for reading my yappage
