Temple of Time | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time | Piano & Organ by Aurelia Odette | ゼルダの伝説

Choosing to record a piano and organ version of "Temple of Time" from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was a deeply personal and meaningful decision for me. As a long-time fan of the Zelda series, across many different consoles, this particular game holds a special place in my heart. Ocarina of Time was the first Zelda game I ever played, and it profoundly impacted me in ways that have stayed with me throughout my life.
The music of Ocarina of Time, especially the "Temple of Time" theme, evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It transports me back to those initial moments of discovery and adventure, where the game demonstrated how someone seemingly small and insignificant could make a monumental difference. Link’s journey from an ordinary boy to a hero who saves the world resonated with me. It inspired me and taught me that no matter how small or insignificant we might feel, we all have the potential to create a significant impact.
Recording a piano and organ version of this piece allows me to pay tribute to the game that has meant so much to me. The piano and organ combination captures the sacred and timeless atmosphere of the Temple of Time, and through this arrangement, I hope to convey the depth of emotion and reverence I feel for this music and the game itself. It’s a way for me to express my gratitude and share the beauty of this piece with others who may feel the same connection to the game.
Ultimately, this project is a celebration of the power of music and storytelling in video games. By recording this version of "Temple of Time," I am honouring a game that has shaped my understanding of heroism and the importance of even the smallest actions. It’s a reminder that, like Link, we all have the potential to make a difference in the world, no matter where we start.
