The Sacred Duet & Final Battle: Malladus || Orchestral Cover
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2018
- This final battle from Spirit Tracks has one of my favorite final battle themes throughout all of The Legend of Zelda. Following the sacred duet, the final battle music makes you feel determined to take down Malladus for what he's done throughout the game.
I'm proud to present my very own orchestral rendition of both The Sacred Duet as well as the Final Battle against Malladus. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you all so much for the amount of love and support you've given me because of this cover! If you'd like sneak peaks on what I'm working on, you'd like to ask me questions and talk, or if you'd just want to hang with me, come join the discord server! discord.gg/bhRcWjS
Xyrotik. You *need* to extend this.
I love this remaster so much.
This and the original reminds me of Oracion, especially the leaf whistle version.
Not that it needs it, but have you considered trying a beat of men pounding hammers as if they're laying down the rail? I feel like it could add a sorta industrial charm to it.
*listen it* ..... *BREATH* EPIC
Xykrotik please do more spirit tracks
Also happy 900 subs
Do y’all remember the glorious character that was Linebeck
He was great in PH.
@@MrMjike he so was
@Jitske's World Eh, he was just a reference by then I guess
he was majestic
@@prisle a majestic reference
WHY IS SPIRIT TRACKS AND PHANTOM HOURGLASS SUCH UNDERRATED GAMES! THEIR SUCH GOOD GAMES!
I'm not sure, probably because they were DS titles. But they're definitely great!
xxx: Are you DS title?
yyy: Yes, but...
xxx: YOU ARE BAD TITLE, BICH
*they're
I think "they are" would fit better.
@Sir Garde i don't know about you all, but that stupid puzzle with the green orb where you had to close your DS had me stumped for so long as i could never understand what the puzzle was
Say what you want about this game overall, but it had one of the best soundtracks in the entire series.
It certainly has a pretty great soundtrack!
Agreed.
Absolutely👍🏼
This track specifically.
I will say what I want about the game overall. It's amazing!
I see no one pointing it out so i will
The rhythm sounds like the chugging of a train! Genius! :D
Haha! Yes, it's even like that in the original, just more emphasized here :) The snare drum's pattern in particular is what gives it the sound of a train on tracks. The bass drum in the distance just further emphasizes on the chugging
@@Xykrotik though I kinda miss the ostinato cymbal crash being part of the train sound in the original. But damn that snare picks up the slack! Frees up the cymbal for other things I guess ;)
@@emdivine Well, Myself and a couple of friends agreed that the Cymbal was honestly quite annoying. Not to mention, constantly having it eat up the Higher frequencies was obnoxious, so transferring it to bass drum allowed for more of a "Feel" and allowed the other instruments to soar!
@@Xykrotik That's fair, it's your remix. It's not like it breaks the song to change that, and with an actual cymbal maybe it sounds worse. Or just taste. :)
I had no idea lol
I want a HD version of this Game, specifically on the switch!
That would be cool!
With no touch screen controls
That won't happen, you wouldn't be able to play it
@@chadpeterson5698 hell no, the touch screen controls make the game that much better. And also they're pretty much required for complex actions
@@Mqstodon Well that's kind of what's happening with basically every Wii U port that required the touch screen. If they want to do it Nintendo will find a way. PH and ST are such underrated games, and the more people that play them the better imo. Even if it's not the original way to play it.
Come on, Spirit Tracks is a PERFECT end to the Zelda timeline. Think about it, if you were transported many generations into the future, things would be radically different. People change, and technology improves. Hyrule couldn't have stayed in the medival age forever. And Spirit Tracks is the last game that acknowledges Hyrule's past before it takes off into the industrial age. That is just beautiful
I have that fantasy that someday Nintendo will go wild and we'll get to see a full on steampunk Zelda game.
Actually, with Breath of the Wild, more and more of the equipment and world is becoming tech based. You're certainly onto something, though I just hope it doesn't lose all it's magic!
@The Real Snowy But BotW was only 100 years...?
The game was ment to break traditional Zelda conventions
Dude,no. BOTW had broke traditions by being more opened ended to where everything could be done at any time, like the final boss. Also the ancient tech is more like they had advanced far in tech but most likely had a civil downfall, hence the term "ancient"
This game has one of the absolute best finales of any Zelda game, and is criminally underrated. Its story is original and full of intrigue, its mechanics are interesting and intricate and used in multiple ways throughout the game, and by God the focus on music throughout the whole thing has not been done as well since Majora's mask. Spirit tracks is a gem of my childhood, and one of the best standalone Zelda experiences, but people too concerned about touch controls won't ever know that.
I highly agree! I plan on talking about this game someday.
I have a soft spot for Phantom Hourglass since it was my first Zelda experience. Breaks my heart people do t really consider it good. Listening to the soundtrack of Spirit Tracks by accident, and now I really want to play this game.
I didn’t think perfection existed, but 5 minutes and 24 seconds later, I was wrong
Haha! Thank you so much :)
This is beautiful and all but if ya DS microphone ain't working this is just hell
Y E S lmao
I literally almost passed out trying to play this. Yeah screw the DS mic
I keep breaking my mic bc i play a real instrument and use instrument air lmao
what do you need the mic for? (never played this game) do you actually have to sing the notes into the ds in order to play this song 😂
@Peach No you just blow really hard into the mic and slide the pan flute to play notes
we need spirit tracks and phantom hourglass to be remade
just so we can all relive our childhoods
Yes
Spirit tracks was the only Zelda game that made me feel a new era was rising. I get Avatar The Last Airbender vibes from the music and the characters in spirit tracks
THIS
GAME
NEEDS
A
REMAKE!!!!!
This is amazing btw!
Thank you!
Yes
AGREEDDD
Something I just noticed that is unique to this soundtrack is the presence of the train sounds in the back towards the middle of the song, it really culminates the themes of Spirit Tracks well.
Yep!! Good ear!
Wooooo let's go fight Malladus!
*Malladus roars*
...or maybe...not...
This remix is flipping epic!
Thanks for the kind words!
You're welcome!
SOMEONE FINALLY DID THIS!!! I loved this game. There are tragically few remixes and covers, but this one is amazing!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it and your kind words help keep me going :)
As you face Malladus, Princess Zelda starts singing The song of Lokomos that wipes out evil, You know the song perfectly, and you play and sing in sync, even though you never heard it. As you play in sync, Each Lokomo appears from out of your journey, They play in perfect sync! The perfect melody fills your ears, as you continue to play, Princess Zelda's power starts glowing! The power of the Tri-Force and Princess Zelda link up! As she starts to glow, The mythical Bow of Light, starts glowing! As she glows, the power emitting off of her, hurts Malladus! As he starts screaming! You pull out the Bow of light and you try to shoot! But you fail, Malladus hits you! You fall over, and the Princess grabs the bow and with her power, find his weak spot!
She asks you to distract him! You agree and distract Malladus! With her power, she finds his weakness and shoots and he starts getting sealed away, dying out, being taken over by the power of the Tri-Force! She shoots again and again, Malladus finally gets sealed away.....The evil destroyed....
Princess Zelda goes back to the Castle, In her body, feeling bored as usual, doing work...As she hears something, You looks out of her window to find you. You are training to become a Warrior! The protector of the world!
As the world stays peaceful, You remember the song, Smiling as you die peacefully...
Only to be reborn into a different time, when evil strikes again, and to remain a Legend....Of Zelda...
Touching story rendition. You're never truly alone, you just got to wait :)
@@zetharic1610 Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoy the track so much and that it can help you feel a little better. Never think you're alone in the world. We all have something we have to go through and overcome, and once you overcome it, life will be significantly better for you!
Thank you, I have had help from a few friends on discord, (You know who i'm talking about :) )
with these problems, and I've been controlling it a lot better! :DDD
Na man I became a locomotive engineer
Spirit Tracks is my all time favorite game, not a second thought about that.
Malladus was such a cool fight, even with DS limitations. I’ll never forget the music to this battle and I really think this orchestral version does it justice! I think my favorite part of this is the drums you added for the sound of the Spirit Train chugging along ❤️
It makes me think of a remastered version of Spirit Tracks! Tremendous love for this!!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you noticed the drum :D It's a cool little musical thing that's done when scoring music around a train.
With how much attention this one cover has gotten (Granted if all those views were subscribers, I'd be amazed) I've been considering covering all, if not, some of the Spirit Tracks OST as an album. But don't tell anyone ;P
I hope this game gets a remake without the touchscreen controls
@@chadpeterson5698 same
@@dayalasingh5853 and with it being remade on another system maybe also give some of the bosses more attacks and with the fight against Malladus maybe have some lightning in the background.
Is spirit tracks old enough to be nostalgic now? Because Jesus H Christ it's been nine years, I vividly remember buying this game when it released fuck
Not realy THAT nostalgic, but its on the verge of it for sure... Well, I can say that I share the same Memories tho... Such an underrated Gem.
@@Mad-Box what about twelve years?
This song...
Has almost made me cry 😭
I'm glad it was that good!
More tense than Calamity Gannon
Truer words have never been said
JenoPC
Calamity Ganon was a complete joke. I've had a harder time making instant noodles than fighting that oversized target practice game.
The real final boss was playing the Spirit Flute.
JenoPC that’s true
JenoPC nah man, it’s protecting Zelda while she charges up. Spent a week trying to get that shit down as a kid
I know the whole duet from memory. I love this game, it holds a special spot in my heart. It's what started my love for the series, my first Zelda game. The background cue ticks were a nice touch!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I thought adding them would make the intro that much more believable and nostalgic :) A piano and lots of reverb got the job done nicely in my opinion
This is what disappoints me about the Zelda community ;3; some forget or choose to ignore something incredible, just because its on a DS system ;-; when even taking into consideration the story of it, this is technically a brand new story from usual Zelda games ;-; character wise. Like Ganondorf doesn't exist in this era, nor the issue of the triforce. I mean i know we have Force gems, but those are like remnants of the triforce. If Nintendo would continue from this point in the timeline on a home console im sure they could do so many unique things ~
Xavier B. Fan say that this zelda is bas because there are trains T_T
Did they even play the game ?
_Spirit Tracks is btw easier to play than Phantom Hourglass and that makes it even more sad, because those who played PH and thought it was bad (because of gameplay and stuff) they didn't even bother to try ST.._
I think what it was that Most people thought Phantom hourglass was bad, so they overlooked Spirit Tracks for being on the same system and also being a direct sequel, which is kind of sad, Because Spirit Tracks was a great game!
Liam Seres Spirit Tracks is one my favorite Zelda's. Phantom Hourglass is one of my least favorites. Glad I gave it a chance when it came out.
I would love it if they remade Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks using the control scheme from Wind Waker.
Man, oh man this brings back memories. Malladus was my first final boss in Zelda. Everything about this game, I loved. The trains, the characters aka Byrne, the whole Zelda's spirit gimmick. The music. Oh man, the music. I loved the duets so much as to memorise them as a child. This was by far the greatest of the duets and an epic final boss theme to boot.
Nice going with the orchestral version, dude. I hope this sparks nostalgia to others like it did me.
Thank you! I appreciate it :D
The buildup into the battle theme is absolutely beautiful, gives me chills every time I listen to it
Thank you!! I felt both of the tracks went hand in hand, so when I made this, I settled on the idea of having it flow together like it does in game!
I have to say, this is the only arranged track so far where all the notes sounded correct to my ears - I love how balanced the vocal and the instruments are - they're not fighting over each other and actually sound harmonious together - a beautiful piece of work, thank you so much for creating this :)
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Haha yeah, transcribing can be super tricky and hard! I always hope that I get *most* of the notes right, but not always possible!
@@Xykrotik Still, it's an awesome masterpiece :)
Wow. Just wow. I have no words. This is perfect. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind words!
Literally got chills when I heard the organ. Beautiful.
Also I really like what you did with the bass drum. The cymbals were somewhat overbearing in the original, so replacing them with a deep bass was a great idea!
Glad you like it! I agree about the cymbals. I tried it here and it was worse haha, so bass drum it was!
@@Xykrotik awesome work, hope to see cool projects in the future.
This is absolutely AMAZING!! The game is soo underrated!!
Spirit tracks is old now.
But people keep doing amazing contents with musics.
Thank you, this one is great ^^
It certainly is!
I'm glad you like it :)
It’s over 11 years old now. I can’t believe it...
@@coledavis5212 wow.
@@coledavis5212 They need to make a remake of Spirit Tracks!
OH hey, there IS some love for Spirit Tracks! This is probably my favourite TLoZ song.
There's love for all Zelda games here! :) I'm just glad you like it
This video is the definition of amazing. How does this guy not have more subs, he is amazing. I LOVE THIS!
Best orchestra remix of this I can find!
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate them ^~^
Xykrotik you just earned a new sub.
Hey hero can you end me
end you?
Mad Kairi’s theme vibes at 1:26. Fitting, seeing how both Zelda and Kairi are princesses of light
?
???
I legit broke down in tears hearing this remix because of how much this song truly means to me. This one of the BEST remixes I've heard for this song!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed to the point that it made you emotional :O I didn't think my rendition of something would ever have an impact like that
*weak*
Relatable.
I pissed myself and forgot my name for 18 minutes after listening to this.
Haha! I sure do hope you cleaned up :P I'm glad you like it that much though!
O_O uhm... Okay
wait, actually? o.o well shit thats some hardcore reaction right there
Wat da ._.
XD
God this is amazing. Finish spirit tracks a month ago and I ADORED it, easily the most underrated Zelda.
Thank you so much!
PH and ST are my 2 fav zeldas. I havent played a lot, but i absolutely love them. Theyre all my childhood.
I just noticed.. at 1:26 an Organ starts to play when (ingame) malladus grows weaker.
The Organ starts to play after the 4 other Instruments and the organ is also know by many as the "Queen of all Instruments"
Maybe the Song writer knew, and used the Organ as something Powerfull.
As an Authority thats strong enough to bring down Malladus.
Ganon probably was playing the organ and cheering link a Zelda on
The best music of this particular game, I have to say. The best duet, and none of Spirit Track's other boss battles have such intensity to them. This literally sounds like everything you've ever known is on the line.
I agree! I loved the suspense and intensity of this song as everything you worked for might go to waste if you fail this battle :D
I feel like Spirit Tracks is getting more and more love recently
ゼルダシリーズの中で一番最初にやった大地の汽笛…私をゼルダに引き込んでくれた思い出深い作品でもある！
最後のデュエットで鳥肌たった覚えがあります
I love this , i'm crying right now , this was My first zelda
This game is so much better than people give it credit for
I can bet this is my very first NDS Zelda game and everytime i hear this orchest makes me remember the countless hours of fun spirit tracks gave me, giving me goosebumps
Bravo, you merely captured the escense of this amazing soundtrack and made it into something even better
Thank you kindly! I appreciate your kind words, they're really uplifting :)
Lowkey teared up, i miss spirit tracks sooo much and this is beautiful... wonderful job!
Thank you so much :)
Hearing this song made me stop for a moment, then suddenly realize I've grown up already
Yeah. Can't really say the same, sorry.
This is truly a glorious masterpiece that doesn't just do justice to the original... It exceeds it. The duet in the beginning gives a feeling of hope, the final battle part carries on that hope but also lends an air of determination. That feeling of determination is drilling into us deeper with the train chugging along in the background, providing a feeling of certainty as well. Truly well done.
Thank you for such kind words :)
This was the first Zelda I've ever bought, played and completed. Hearing this brings back a lot of good memories!
the musics progression with the different lokomos really shows how the characters progressed as well
I love Spirit Tracks, this song is a miracle to me.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind words!
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER HEARD LIKE OH MY GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH-
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words ^~^
The DS titles are so underrated. I guess I can see people disliking Phantom Hourglass, but spirit tracks? Spirit tracks is awesome!
honestly I like Phantom Hourglass Better, don't get mi wrong, I like both, but personally I preffer Phantom Hourglass
I prefer Spirit Tracks to Phantom Hourglass to a degree such as the Tower of Spirits not being as tedious as the Temple of the Ocean King and the train controls are easier to use and the story is more like what Zelda fans are used to in a good way
@@chadpeterson5698 Good point, Spirit Tracks repaired what Phantom Hourglass got wrong.
BUT MY BOY LINEBECK 🚢
@@butterspike680 is technically still in the game
@@chadpeterson5698 No, that's his way less cooler grandson, Linebeck III. Whom didn't get any memorable moment 😞

Finally some appreciation for such an amazing theme! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words! :)
OMG it's PBG
It's good to see Spirit Tracks getting some love! This is amazing!
Thank you!
A remix of one of my favorite songs... it’s so beautiful... dude thanks a ton.
Thank you for your kind words!
I thought this game was forgotten already. 9 years and counting.... still the best zelda game I have played so far. The soundtrack, and everything!
Haha, I don't think any Zelda game can be forgotten! The soundtrack has some pretty great tracks for sure
Spirit Tracks is one of the most underrated games in the entire series, full stop.
No, full steam ahead.
I actually loved this game. Some things infuriated me, but I loved it. The Phantoms were both terrifying and really cool and it was great to adventure with Zelda again. I always loved the thought of having someone back me up in a final battle because it told me that I wasn't alone anymore. So it was great when she helped me deal the finishing blow and when she was aiming for his back the whole time.
YOOO I forgot how good this fight was!! Thanks for taking me back to my childhood.
Glad you liked it!
this is the best remix of this song, i love it!
Thank you! I'm glad you thinks so
While I greatly prefer the original I have got to say that this probably the best fan made orchestration/remasterization of a videogame song that I have encountered.
Thank you, that really means a lot!
God,this song is one of the songs that define The legend of Zelda series.
Sadly its allmost forgotten
God, this sounded so good that I didn't even realized it was a Remix. Love your work man, gave me literal chills.
Thanks so much! That's an amazing compliment, I really appreciate it :)
Geez I'm about to cry this is gorgeous
Thank you!
This song makes me want to time travel to my childhood
Even though the duet somewhat disrupts the flow of the battle, the sequence where the theme transitions into the battle music, is probably my favorite Zelda musical moment.
A little random but here is an idea of mine for a sequel of Spirit Tracks:
Some time after ST, the stability of new Hyrule begins to wade, the tracks start disappearing, but only small sections at a time and monsters attack more and more. The Link of this adventure travels through the land, firstly by foot, later possibly on trains, in an effort to push back the darkness and regain the grace of the goddesses back, before New Hyrule ends like Lorule.
That organ!
I love it
If this isn't the best final boss theme in the entire series for you
Then you're just flat out wrong
This is undisputed
Holy cheese this is amazing! I got goosebumps all over my body, the nostalgia was real mean! Finally someone who appreciates the spirit track music and makes remixes of it. It got me tearing up at the break of the sacred duet and when the main theme kicked in for real.
This is so awesome! Thanks for making this awesome remix! 💕 keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Hey Xykrotik, every now and then I get a spontaneous urge to listen to the Sacred Duet but every single time that I do, I specifically feel the need to go to this particular version! It feels the most memorable because of how awesome it it. :)
I really appreciate that! I'm glad it's something you're willing to come back and listen to :)
ここにたどり着いた人全員ゼルダ好き説(自明)
Wow, never thought I’d see a video about spirit tracks so recent. Good job!
Thank you!
Without a doubt one of my favorite Zelda games and favorite song. Just absolutely too much nostalgia. It’s just brilliant
Listening to this game’s music is making me emotional with nostalgia! 😭💗
Glad you like it!
Spirit Tracks is underrated
I love this game
Starting the new year and this is the first thing in my mind.
Epic
Simply blown away. This is just godlike
Thanks for the kind words!
I came back to this after years and man
I really wish I could relive this game all over again, what a gem it is
thank you for making this arrange.i freaking love it.this game is the only one i played among the zelda series,but there are only a few arrange of its songs.it was a big luck i found this!ありがとう！！
Thank you so much fort he kind words. I'm very happy that you like it :)
Malladus: *why do I hear boss music*
Nostalgic pur, thanks for this wonderfull music
Thank you for listening!
I love this!! This is my favorite soundtrack from the entire Zelda series. Making it sound like the overworld theme, it gives a lot more meaning to saving the world. Like everything you've done up to that point in the game, it was all for this moment of Link and Zelda working together to stop Malladus
Nothing but good memorys about this game. I loved it to bits. One of my first 5 zelda games i ever played. Got it on virtual console and 100% it.
my godd! i was searching this for years! you are awesome
Thank you!!!
spirits tracks is gameplay wise on the short side, but the soundtrack was simply amazing
Absolutely
It was my first Zelda game so it's my gem. Love the soundtrack and just the whole game brings me back to the good old days when my ds was (literally) one of my few best friends.
literally the best zelda soundtrack to me!! I remember playing this as a child and how much I loved the music!
Awesome rendition, I love every bit of this, especially after 2:40
Thank you for the kind words!
Glad you like it!
It's actually the same as the train travel theme
Omg why is this so perfect... What an amazing cover of my favourite theme from the game !! The orchestra makes it so epic !!
I'm glad you enjoy it that much!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! Thank you for this, this was just awesome.
Glad you think so!
This is absolutely beautiful. I have no words left.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you like it so much. Thank you so much for supporting me and my work! Hope you'll stick around for more :)
this song brings me to tears every single time i hear it.
I'm happy that something I created could be that impactful :)
It's been far too long since a song has actually brought a smile to my face. This is one of my favourite Zelda songs, and you did a brilliant job. No idea how I didn't find this sooner.
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Holy crap this is good!
Thank you!
I loved the amotspjere and feel to this final boss. You’ve just witnessed the death and your friend and this creature declare that he’ll lay waste to the world. Yet you’re transported to an alternate dimension to play a simple and calm melody; jolly even, as your about to face your biggest battle yet. Then the music gets more action filled and darker, although keeping that melody going demonstrating that as powerful and terrifying as this creature may be, he’s no match against light, spirit, love, and courage. There's one obstacle left to a life of peace and you can do it. Brilliant
This Cover is so beautiful and well made that it make my spine shake...
I haven't any idea how you have done that, but don't stop !
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words
I freakin LOVE this track, ST is my fave Zelda piece and the first game I cried over a favourite character's death....RIP Byrne :*(
Thank you! I also was sad over his death :(
oh this... this is beautiful.
seriously tho you have captured the most epic song in the game and made it more epic. its amazing. also whoever was singing zeldas part was really good
Thank you for your kind words!
The motifs from the train theme perfectly capture the "do or die" feeling that should accompany a final boss fight. It calls back to your adventure, reminding you that it was all for not if you fail in this deciding moment. I love it!
This brings back so many memories... I’m about to cry, really. Thanks for this amazing remix.
And thank you for the kind words!
