    It's a bitter sweet joy listening to the music. Brings back certain memories of my teenage years. Especially the time of 1997 when I was 14. That was the time you could see the comet Hale-Bopp in the sky. I played this game with a friend I went to school with. We had no instructions or guide about the game hence it came as a surprise when we thought we had beaten the game but it suddenly turned into the Dark World. We played a lot of games at that time. Zelda, Secret of Mana and the Street Fighter II series were our favorites. These games are adventurous, touching - and from a nostalgic perspective that I have now - touching in a verry personal way . At the beginning of 1998 my friend moved away and we never saw each other again. Now 23 years have past and every now and then I wonder how he did in life, where's he at right now... So every now and then I look up stuff like this video on RUclips and bathe in memories.

    I absolutely love this rendition of this song. You can really hear the solemn nature of the tune. Your personal touch at 2:11 was very good, and finishing up with the Zelda II title was wise. Keep up the great work, Lara.

    Best arrangement I've ever heard of this song. I mean, based on what I've heard before, I always assumed that this was one of those great songs that just didn't translate to the piano all that well. But this makes me change my mind completely! Lara includes all the little nuances, and just brought out the feel of the song so perfectly. Can't even explain it. But she nailed it, and now I feel emotionally high. Another masterpiece by Lara!

    • @lara6683
      @lara6683  10 лет назад +14

      it's not an easy one to do on piano, due to the pervasive 'military style accompaniment' which sits underneath the more lyrical melody

  • @eudaimonistic
    @eudaimonistic 7 лет назад +3

    This song defines many aspects of my early life and the game I loved most growing up. You hit so many thematic elements that are central to those experiences, and every note was a memory returned to life. I loved this interpretation, and you have a gift for finding the meaning of music. I find that a lot of my friends don't see the wonderful melodies that we grew up with, and I feel they've missed out on something wonderful. But I could show some of my musician friends a video like this and they would see what I mean.
    Thank you for translating that.

  • @MusaFinderi

    Oh wow, this is really wonderful. I've always loved how powerful the fluid changes from minor to major chords in this piece are, I love how you play the accompaniment in arpeggios in the middle part, and I like the passion you put into the accentuation of the dynamic volume changes. Oh, and extra thumbs up for the transposition. Thank you, Lara!
