This is a VERSUS arrangement. Check out my opponent and cohort's (the other Piano Bro.) Ryan Z ‘Piano Guy’s version and let us know whose arrangement reigns supreme in the comments: • The Legend of Zelda Ma...

=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====
I'm not good with octaves. Or rather, I'm not good with playing rapid octaves. This arrangement was a struggle to record due to some very small minor mistakes that took weeks to practice out. Some of you may have caught the livestream, where I practiced through the piece last month. Not much has changed since then but you will notice a few differences.
Overall this arrangement was vaguely inspired by the 25th Anniversary Orchestral version of the main theme. The arrangement itself is divided into 4 main sections: A slow intro, the main theme proper, an interlude/variation on the theme, and a closing section. Each one has the theme with slightly different harmonies and figurations, leading to the difficulty of memorizing this piece. It's easy to get your wires crossed.
Zelda is one of the backbones of the channel. So consider this my official 200k sub special. I hope you enjoy it and here's to another 200k and beyond!
Your Pianist,
Erik C.
P.S. I did edit out 1 wrong note. See if you can spot it! Unedited raw versions will be posted on my patreon.

It’s genius how the original song was very thin, just a few voices of 8 bit technology, and yet we all remember it with this kind of big symphonic sound. Absolutely brilliant composer
