Been years since I haven't picked up my classical guitar... That... just made me pick it right back up again. I frickin' love what they did with this song and all its variation that plays depending on where you are located in the castle, outside, near the top, etc. The seamless transition is stupidly well done, and this classical version is Breath..taking. Amazing job, I'm profoundly impressed.

This is definitely my favorite piece in the game. I love both the piano arrangement for the indoors and the full orchestral for the exterior, although I'm definitely partial to full orchestral arrangements of anything. I love that it goes into 5/4 and even sometimes 6/4 I believe. I want to convince my band director to do an arrangement of this piece but I don't think that's gonna work lol.

In all of BOTW there was not a more epic moment than storming Hyrule Castle. It wasn't a dungeon like LTTP, it wasn't hub for tiny temples like OOT. It wasn't merely a pretty set piece. It was a ruined fortress, with passageways that SHOULD have led places but dead end in weird places. It was overrun with enemies and security and you had to infiltrate it however you deemed fit. So good.

so besides video game scores i'm mostly a thrash metal guy. when i tell my friends that a single classical guitar can sound heavy, this is my prime example. the 5/4 count and these big chords like the full D7sus2 chord in there with the open low bass strings make this rendition really heavy to me. can't listen to this without actually headbanging. well done sam.
