Dito! Especially if you've seen it on Accordion, like Mr.Accordion. Maybe it's just the specific arrangement of notes or the way you can play them (not really playing either instrument).
Well, I feel there's hardly any (new!) memorable songs in the game anyway. Don't get me wrong, BotW was great, but let's see: How many iconic songs and tunes did Ocarina of Time provide us with? What about BotW?
Me too, I remember when I was just frolicking around trying to find something to do and then I would just hear his song in the distance and I would just be like “WHERE’S THE BIRB!?! WHERE IS HE!!!!????“. Great times :)

@@ErikCPianoman Hyrule castle is one of my fav songs, so much so that I l eww earned how to play it, I'd love it if my favorite piano youtuber would do an arrangement of it!
@@ErikCPianoman oh yes, BotW Hyrule Castle pleeeease. That song is phenomenal and your renditions are always somehow just as iconic as the originals, if not more.
It's been a while since I covered anything Zelda, let alone from botw. So show this video some love and let me know your favorite track from botw below.
The original version of this theme always made me see like, an evening/candle-lit festival in a stone courtyard. Lots of dancing and laughing. This version feels like, a person who went to those festivals making music ABOUT going to them. Lovely
This is already one of my favorites. What a ride! only a minute in and I'm already amazed by this cover; the chords, the harmony, the emotions are so intense! You have once again topped expectations with this beautiful piece and I can't wait to hear more of your amazing Zelda covers. (hope you are doing well and staying safe)
After the final clash between the last champion and the hylian princess with the demon king. They returned to rejoice for a new era of peace. The day was celebrated with all of hyrule’s races coming together and rejoicing for the last day of the calamitous century. The hylians, sheikah, zora, gorons, Gerudo, Rito. All dancing in praise for the princess and the champion. All of them were astounded by the sight of the two, as they were moving in such elegance around the ballroom. Such young heroes, such young lovers. I hope for them well, long life, a moment of peace, and that the light may illuminate their path.
Never understood why people thought Zelink was a thing in BOTW. Yes, they grew to accept each other and get along quite well. Zelda is quite excited to see him at the end of the game, yes, BUT I WOULD BE TOO, IF I JUST WATCHED MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND SUBJECTS DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH AND SPENT A CENTURY HANGING OUT WITH AN ANCIENT DEMON OF UNQUANTIFIABLE RAGE AND EVIL POWER.
I really hope this comes out on Spotify because I can't wait to listen to this on repeat. I love the part around 0:49 seconds in where the left hand comes in syncopated (I think I used that word right...). Keep up the great work!
I had goosebumps the whole time. The best piano rendition of this song I’ve heard yet!! Keep it up! I’m definitely putting this on my list of songs to learn.
I've been a massive fan of your channel ever since I first found it 4ish years ago. I remember when this first came out and it blew me away. You have inspired me as a pianist to keep pushing my abilities further for so long, and now 3 years after this video was released, I'm finally taking it on myself. Thank you so much for everything, you are incredible.
Just stumbled onto this and I will now use it to get my baby girl to sleep every night. Zelda has been my favorite game since birth pretty much. Keep up the amazing work!!
Absolutely beautiful. I love the somewhat ominous feel it has. As if it is only the beginning of something more.... I love this man. Out of all of the musicians i follow on youtube (and i follow a LOT) You are my favorite pianist :)
This is my favorite Zelda tune of all time. I already learned Sam Griffin’s guitar version of this, Kyle Landry’s Piano version and now i think i must learn this one! You did it so well man! thanks!!
Your versions are always so amazing and beautiful that I can't help but cry for how beautiful they are. Thank you very much for your amazing music and for making my heart dance ❤
Eric you are an amazing pianist and you’re honestly a huge inspiration for a young, amateur, pianist like myself. Please keep making these wonderful renditions of my favorite games and media!
i've been playing a lot of botw recently, the other day when I encountered kass I just had to take a minute to stop and listen. such a beautiful piece and a great rendition!
THE VARIATION VERSION IS FIREE MY EYES ARE MELTING BECAUSE OF IT the varied chords, varied tempo, varied mood swings, oh my god. it's an absolute goddess of a composition!!
this was an absolute treat to listen to. You took the original song and made it ten times better, in my opinion. Can't wait to hear more astounding songs like this
This comment will probably be lost in the sea but i'll say this anyway. You and few other musically talented youtuber are the reason why I keep playing and practicing piano to this day. I'm the kind of guy who loose motivation/interest quickly which mean while i'm good at wide array of thing i do not excel at anything. And it might be dumb but it's actually infuriating to me to a point where i get really mad at myself. But your videos always bring the flame back alive and i find myself sitting at my piano for as much as i can the rest of the week after. So TL;DR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR UPLOADS it's been really important/helping to me. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
My saxophone teacher used to tell me: there are too many people willing to tear you down, you can't be one of them. Would tell me that whenever I got pissed off at myself for not practicing. Eventually I just stopped wasting time being mad and started practicing.
I loved how in the game you just heard the first part of the theme, but once you got to the end and did his final challenge, he played the full version letting you hear the LoZ music mixed in there as a reveal ... Goose bumps when it happened.
Something I love about the opening melody in the waltz style is that it’s sounds very Shostakovich to me, obviously it’s different and stands on its own, but that melody reminds so much of something Shostakovich would’ve written that I always think of him when I hear it. Great performance and Cover!!!!!
Man, I love this. Especially how at 0:38 it kinda sounds like some of the main legend of zelda theme is worked into it. Kass was always fun to hear when I was playing--
Wow, such a beautiful variation, I didn't even noticed the transition at first. Also it has been a while since I saw a piece that incorporates A1. Such a deep note you can barely hear it. Liked and Subscribed!
Just wanted you to know that this video came up on my feed and I was subscribed to your channel before it was over. You're amazing and listening to you play made me feel fantastic. Thank you
Good Graciousness! The absolutely marvelous playing of this music is simply breathtaking.... the sheer emotionally moving scale of this piece when you hear it for the first time is recreated perfectly here in this arrangement. Bravo! Bravo! well done.
Beautiful as always, I do so hope to hear the Rito village theme from you someday. Just thinking about the amount of fun you can have with those chords, has me excitedly awaiting it. Keep up the awesome work.
I feel like whenever Erik needs to compose a variation he tries to find the best way to break a normal person's fingers with just a piano
Dito! Especially if you've seen it on Accordion, like Mr.Accordion. Maybe it's just the specific arrangement of notes or the way you can play them (not really playing either instrument).
you can break any bone with a piano and enough elbow grease
JUST a piano is not anything

@@miguelanjo2776, what about a human skull? I’m asking for... Completely normal reasons...

What about BotW?
@@LostInSpace._. lol, I wanted to say that too.
@@Jan_9999_ Each Zelda games have their own unique and iconic games.
You like LoZ too? Thats a W bro
Kass has to be one of my favorite characters in BOTW. Whenever I hear accordion off in the distance I get so happy
I remember when I first heard him playing his accordian and having I had no idea what it was. So just finding him randomly around Hyrule was the best!
Me too, I remember when I was just frolicking around trying to find something to do and then I would just hear his song in the distance and I would just be like “WHERE’S THE BIRB!?! WHERE IS HE!!!!????“.
Great times :)

nah bro your just fire🔥🔥
Hands down, has to be the BOTW theme song overall. Such a beautiful piece that makes me tear up.
will the sheets be available on musicnotes?
Probably Ocarina Of Time intro
I love Mipha’s theme, it’s so sad but so well played
I just love the way you play The Legend of Zelda music. It’s like so great, I can’t explain the feeling it gives me.
Slick toes?!?
Legendary feelings
The original version of this theme always made me see like, an evening/candle-lit festival in a stone courtyard. Lots of dancing and laughing. This version feels like, a person who went to those festivals making music ABOUT going to them. Lovely

It wasn’t with this but the first time I got to rito village I felt nostalgic
I feel blessed.
I really hope this comes out on Spotify because I can't wait to listen to this on repeat. I love the part around 0:49 seconds in where the left hand comes in syncopated (I think I used that word right...). Keep up the great work!
The variation gives off huge carnival of life from howl's moving castle, and I LOVE IT
I had goosebumps the whole time. The best piano rendition of this song I’ve heard yet!! Keep it up! I’m definitely putting this on my list of songs to learn.
Rachmaninoff meets Zelda. This is brilliant piano technique and second voice playing. Amazing. I'm so happy to have this video recommended.

I love this man. Out of all of the musicians i follow on youtube (and i follow a LOT) You are my favorite pianist :)
0:18 this part and onward gives me chills and tears in my eyes
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Erik is the type of guy to make a serialism piece sound good.
Why is Zelda music so damn good?
This is my favorite Zelda tune of all time. I already learned Sam Griffin’s guitar version of this, Kyle Landry’s Piano version and now i think i must learn this one! You did it so well man! thanks!!
I have no clue why but I have obsessed over this song for so long. This version by far is the best hands down.
Your rubato is so darn dynamic. I love all your interpretations, arrangements, performances.
Thx. I always strive for a musical performance. Glad you like my take on this classic tune!
Great work Erik. Always exceeding expectations as usual!
Thx man. You’ve been uploading like a beast as of late. I’m struggling to keep up!
I'm getting chills just listening to this, beautiful.
Always love hearing this song before getting a dumb ass riddle that my brain can't solve for a shrine.
Your versions are always so amazing and beautiful that I can't help but cry for how beautiful they are. Thank you very much for your amazing music and for making my heart dance ❤
The chopin reference at the end... perfect
It's amazing how Erik can destroy my hands by just posting sheet music

Once again Eric, you fail to betray my expectations! Beautiful performance of my favorite song in the game

Amazing! Bravo!
Total mastery of your instrument and craft. Always enjoy listening to you.
1:57 onwards is so intense, definitely my favorite part! 😢 reminds me of your champion's ballad cover!! love this so much... 😭❤
My favorite pianist releases one of my favorite video game tracks of all time? It's a good day.
Thanks for making this. It was my favorite song in botw
Just WOW!
I love this tune and your variation really hits a home run as well! Thanks so much!!
I love your Legend of Zelda videos man. They are awesome.

the varied chords, varied tempo, varied mood swings, oh my god. it's an absolute goddess of a composition!!
At 2:25 I get Rach 2 kind of vibes. Great song as always!
I listen to this every day since it's been online, that variation is amazing.
I can play 19 secs of this. Nice. Your covers are unreal.
1:36 This melody is PERFECT.
This is definitely my new favorite cover of Kass’ song holy shit, I am in love with how you arranged this!
Excellent cover! I loved my hearing this faintly playing in the middle of nowhere during my first playthrough, and following it to find Kass.

Your way of playing this song is mesmerizing...it transports us to another world. Thanks for your great work
The variation is crazy. It's refined, fresh
This video gave me nerd chills, and I don't have a problem with it
I love waltzes and really like the way you play them always adding these low chromatic bass notes in the majority of them. Great work, bro!
Thx man. I find Waltzes one of the more satisfying musical forms.
This is so amazing I can’t even it’s like I can hear the passion you have through the music you play
Both botw and Erik are gifts that keep on giving
Man you are sooo underated, i swear you need to have 5 million
That was soo good and your own remake was even better
You’ve nailed yet another one, the talent on this man is unparalleled.

I’ve been wanting the extended style for a while also bro this is great
Recently completed breath of the wild. I just love this song, among the champion’s ballad they’re one my favourite videogame soundtracks ever
I've actually been moved by your variation. You are incredibly skilled.
Love the expression man! (Kass is best bird)
Glad the expression comes through in these lore virtuosic/bombastic arrangements.
Sometime i go to the village just to listen to this amazing theme
Fantastic arrangement! Would absolutely love a full sheet music arrangement for the second half, this is a dream song of mine!
