  • I had a request to do a flamenco guitar cover of Dragon Roost Island after posting a cover of Gerudo Valley a couple years ago. It just made sense, you know? The original already has a groove just like Fandangos de Huelva. I still get yearly cravings to bust out the GameCube and play Wind Waker, just to hear the music.
    Last time, the video was all photos from Spain, but this time, well ... my family and I have very conveniently just gone on vacation to Ireland.
    Dragon Roost Island Theme, from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The music for the game was composed by Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, and Koji Kondo.
    The intro segment is the Rito Village Theme from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, composed by Kenta Nagata and Yasuaki Iwata.
    Matt Sellick: guitars, palmas
    Graeme Cockell: keyboard, MIDI bass
    Joel Routhier: clarinet
    Recorded and mixed by Matt Sellick
    Additional arranging by Matt Sellick and Graeme Cockell
    Photography by Matt Sellick, Megan Sellick, and Marg McKee

      Dragon Roost Island is where the Rito lived in the Wind Waker. A rearrangement of this track is used for the Rito village in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
