Amazing job, I'm profoundly impressed.

    This is definitely my favorite piece in the game. I love both the piano arrangement for the indoors and the full orchestral for the exterior, although I'm definitely partial to full orchestral arrangements of anything. I love that it goes into 5/4 and even sometimes 6/4 I believe. I want to convince my band director to do an arrangement of this piece but I don't think that's gonna work lol.

    @AeroAnimationsInc Год назад

    In all of BOTW there was not a more epic moment than storming Hyrule Castle. It wasn't a dungeon like LTTP, it wasn't hub for tiny temples like OOT. It wasn't merely a pretty set piece. It was a ruined fortress, with passageways that SHOULD have led places but dead end in weird places. It was overrun with enemies and security and you had to infiltrate it however you deemed fit. So good.
