Hyrule Castle 8-BIT - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

An absurdly epic theme for an absurdly epic castle. 8-bit usually doesn't fit well with orchestra music, but I think this one came out pretty nicely. Enjoy!!
-I use MidiTrail to make the video. It is a program that gives you a cool 3D view by loading a piano midi.
-I use FL Studio with a plugin called NES VST, made by Matt Montag! You can check out his site here, you can even donate: www.mattmontag.com/projects-p...
-You can use my songs in your videos, as long as you put a link to my channel in the description. Also letting me know would be nice :)
-This song is true 8-bit, and is faithful to the limits of the NES (except for maybe the audio quality.)
-I don't really do request. Feel free to give suggestions in the comments though, you never know.
-Critisism is appreciated. but keep in mind that the NES can only play a certain amount of notes at a time,
so that's why almost no song can be recreated perfectly.
-Enjoy!!

I think this one came out so nicely because most of the Leitmotifs used in the original theme originated as 8-bit music in older Zelda games.

It is such a weird hybrid throwing the Ballad of the Windfish into the intro, main tune of Gannondorf's Tower, the main theme they use for the series, and Zelda's Lullaby.

@pirategamer6630 4 жыл бұрын

@@AimlessSavant I personally think it represents something or even things to come. Ganon's tower signifies the evil in place, Zelda's Lullaby signifies how she is trying to fight and stop Ganon from escaping, resulting in the descruction of the entire world, and the main theme is signifying bith Link's bravery and courage for coming - with originally nothing - to fight off the beast that is Ganon. And Ballad of the Windfish signifies how Link is awakening - this is no mere dream. This is the final showdown. The whole song seems to show this though.

Definitely my favorite track from the game. Most of the music in this game is for ambiance, and it really surprised me to hear such epic music out of nowhere the moment I got near the castle (I actually didn't expect it to be a dungeon, at least not the outside of it). If anything, this track gives me Hideout Helm vibes, which is about as great as it can get.

@katedp7825 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it makes the atmosphere feel heroic, tragic and making the castle feel so big and grand and this music hides two songs (well the songs I recognize) Zelda's lullaby and the main theme of the series and it makes so much sense because the main theme of the series is basically Link's theme and Zelda's lullaby is her theme so it makes sense because Link and Zelda are fighting Ganon. So it's a genius theme for the castle.

This song (exterior of the castle) and the song inside the castle are both a combinaison from differents Zelda Themes. The begining of the song is cleary a reference to Ballade of the Windfish.

Just some thoughts from someone who's been watching your vids for a while. I really liked the 8bit art you used to use, seems waste to have them just on the thumbnail. I also know you like this display thing. Just wondering if theres any way to combine these visuals with the thumbnail art? I think using the same display for each vid makes them a little less distinct.

It's amazing how much music can influence our emotions. For example, when I was roaming through Hyrule castle, this song always gave me this feeling... I don't know how to describe it, but it gave me the sense that exploring the castle was the beginning of the end of the game. It also caused a LOT of unease. But I love it still, just for the experience that it gave me and how well it worked with the game atmosphere.
