Anyone who says Breath of the Wild’s soundtrack is bad or says it has no music clearly have no appreciation for ambient music cause this stuff is freaking gorgeous and complements the gameplay beautifully
I agree it has music, I just didn’t like it. It grows on you though. For me it was nostalgia from the other games with fuller music. I’m ok now. I am here arent I? 😁
Why does it feel weird hearing these sounds come from a piano and not just in-game ambience? 😂 It’s interesting how our minds attach emotions, story, and locations to seemingly simple sounds. It really takes a complex and purposeful approach on behalf of the composer to get all of that out of the few notes they used.
Botw's overworld themes are my favorite in the series, because they convey so much emotion, and fit the areas perfectly without using loud bombastic (and very repetitive) orchestrated music like the other overworld themes in the series.
I remember hearing 10:57 and 12:49 in-game when I first played botw and my jaw dropping to the floor. Had to figure those out asap on my piano. Great transcription!
I’m sad it took me this long to look for/find this cuz I’ve been rly wanting to learn how to play this stuff. And now that I’ve found this, this morning, I have already learned up to Caves lol. It’s not complicated but man is it beautiful to play. Edit: I have just finished my first complete run through without mistakes, the next morning. Man it’s tiring doing 14 minute reps lol, I have to take breaks in between. Thanks for the video! It was a lot of fun learning!
Just wanted to say thanks. Been playing piano for ~3 years and love your stuff. Thank you for making the sheet music so accessible as well. I've had a great time learning your pieces! Keep up the great work.
You're missing one of the best ones: Waterfront. Although I don't mind if you don't arrange it, because then I can try challenging myself to do it. Great Video! These songs are really underrated and unnoticed.
The ruins and especially Kara Kara Bazaar are my favorite, of which I learned. These ones are the right mixture of ambient, melodic, and with cool chords that I like. The others are a bit too "loose" imo. Temple of time is also really good.
I like everything about it... The cool chords... The parts where it starts slow and gets faster and finishes slower... And one cannot forget the satisfying treble chord at the end! Such a neat little track. I also like the field theme similarities. Both have a deep note at the start, but night has it from the get-go whereas day has some treble notes prior. Both have a treble pattern that repeats twice (day has a fast succession of notes, which I can do the start fast but not the whole thing) and night has those 16 high Fs (you remember that number because it's written as "15ma" in the sheet music. It really is a great soundtrack. Ambient themes, and catchy ones too. Hateno Village and Hyrule Castle are my favorite! Oh, and the champions themes, which kind of bridge that gap between melodic and ambient.
This is just so weird, I am playing the game right now and pause because I saw you made this new video and in the background my game is playing in perfect sync with your music I love you music, especially the celtic pieces witch is on repeat almost all the time. What is the name on the flute you use? Again Thank up for all your music 🌷
Composers be like: ''i'm about to create an ambient sound just smashing my hands on piano but slowly...yeah, this sounds cool...hey Eiji! i think im done here.'' just kidding haha.
Hey, I just wanna say real quick that the cave theme's been on my Spotify playlist for quite a while now and I think there's something wrong with the file or your upload. At first I thought my phone was being weird, but it is always cutting off for like a second just 7-8 seconds into the song. Thought I'd let you know in case you want to fix it😊. Also, I listen to your Zelda stuff all the time! Just absolutely love listening to and am really excited about the latest Hyrule Highlands album!❤
@demantim Listening to that playlist in the background again while doing some work and I noticed the same thing with "Flight Range" at about 0:47. Just thought I'd let you know :)
If you haven’t done a video dedicated to how much you love Kara Kara bazaar and how brilliant it is (forgive me projecting ;) ) can you? I’d love to hear you riff or improvise on it. I can’t picture a better musical representation of an oasis.
This music sounds like somebody left some sheet music outside, and it weathered and got broken up in millions of pieces. I would almost go as far as to say that if you put all files of music together you would get a great medley of all wellknown zelda songs.
@@demantim thanks for the reply. I downloaded the official ost and tried overlaying the riding and field themes and some extra to see if I could get a fuller version of iconic songs in a multitrack setup but could not find a coherent way. Also removing silences (interesting in the temple of time theme in botw!) and overlaying did not result in something recognizable. Maybe you Tim habe some more musical knowledge and understanding of the musical pieces to merge some tracks?
I’m amazed by the accuracy! Nice work. The timing on the notes, especially for the sparse tracks, is often off. Some specific corrections that I think are most worth mentioning: 5:02 This is an arpeggio: D'-A-G-D and then the chord E♭-F♯-C. You’re hitting the right notes - just not quite the right order. 10:20 This needs another F♯ at the end. 12:11 This bottom note should be the C♯. Furthermore, the titles of two of the themes you played are actually that of _shrines_ in specific areas: 0:00 is ‘Shrine (Snow)’, not ‘Great Plateau’ 4:48 is ‘Shrine (Desert)’, not ‘Wasteland’

yes
That is soo true! I just don’t get why some people say its bad music!
Preach Brother
The people say that this is bad have no taste in music and are weird

Yeah there's quite a few magical moments in those ambient tracks!
Agreed, the ruins track gets me every time. Moving.
That field (day) section caused me more anxiety than it should just waiting for the guardian theme to kick in
Eww those first bars of the Guardian music are hair-raising.
I've always liked the field night, ruins, and flight range themes! Great work, Tim! As always!
This is so good, man. BOTW's music is so atmospheric and beautiful. Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks Harley!
Man, those strident notes in the Field Night theme resonate so deep in me
imma listen to this before falling asleep tonight :D
How did you post this comment an hour ago when the video is only 18 minutes old?
@@steffelinksi I'm a time traveler
@@emoas1 oh ok

walking up to naydra for the first time with that music playing auwehfuiefh so good!
edit : wanted to say the backgrounds u chose were really spot on
Thank you!

Glad to be of service, Joseph! =D
Man you brought some good memories back
I’ve always liked the field soundtracks and flight range the most

You too! =D
I wonder why algo doesn't support such a content.
Well I don't usually mind going out of my way to regularly check up on how Tim my man's doing 😌😅
It's very much appreciated Jayesh!
I've listened to those themes over a 100 times. Your take on those is breathtaking. Thank you
Thanks for listening, Mangouffe =)
Love ya Tim.
You never seem to disappoint.
Thanks Sophia :)
@@demantim Of course😁
Once again, a very nice arrangement
I love this, it’s so peaceful

Kara Kara was the first ambient track that really made an impression on me!

Very enjoyable, thank you.
I love it, thanks bro i can now play it ❤️
Ohh I love this! I did already learn some of the songs by ear but gonna learn the others from this video. I love the botw background music. Thx Tim! 👏
You're welcome, Moritz!
This is just so weird, I am playing the game right now and pause because I saw you made this new video and in the background my game is playing in perfect sync with your music
I love you music, especially the celtic pieces witch is on repeat almost all the time.
What is the name on the flute you use?
Again Thank up for all your music 🌷
Hey Kirsten, that's really cool!
I'm using various pennywhistles / tin whistles. Most are made by Susato.
Thank you so much 👍
This sounds like I don't have headphones on, amazing!
Amazing as always! Keep up the good work!
Such an awesome track... nicely done Tim !
Thanks Marti!
That field day hit different at 2 am
So lovely!
Playing this on the piano rn
8:38 make a wish
Wowwww, very accurate
Amazing 👍🏼
Composers be like: ''i'm about to create an ambient sound just smashing my hands on piano but slowly...yeah, this sounds cool...hey Eiji! i think im done here.''
just kidding haha.
They made up for it by playing every possible piano key during the Dark Beast Ganon music.

Would love to touch on that on-stream again! I played in on stream 12 or 11, and did some riffing.
@@demantim I’ll keep my ear to the YT ground for the next one
Actually sounds like Debussy or Ravel with the special Zelda Feel
This is really pretty, but the audio cuts out from 7:27 - 7:29 :c
Yeah I noticed, something went wrong in editing... Can't fix it now unfortunately.
@@demantim Oh well, it's not major. The rest is so beautiful.

Hey ! I really love your piano's sound, could you tell me what VST are you using and which settings, thanks a lot !
It's a Nord Grand stage piano with the Fazioli preset!
@@demantim Thank you so much !
