This is perhaps the most epic thing I have ever seen inspired by the Legend of Zelda. Not so much the recreation, but that you dedicated yourself to mastering so many instruments in order to do so. You are to be applauded.
@@InstrumentManiac Back when I played the original gameboy version, I was impressed that the game-makers were able to mimic instrument variety and multiple instrument music so well given that they were working with 8-bit sound at best. But I was never inspired to do something like this. You, sir, are a polished gem among Zelda fans.
Link had a hard time going in dungeons after dungeons to break the giant egg and awaken the windfish when he just need to find this guy. Kidding aside, this is so good.
OH MY GOD!! THANK you for making this!! Ever since I learned of Links Awakening a few years ago, I have been looking around for a version of Ballad of the Windfish where all the 8 instruments are played for real! YOU HAVE ENDED MY LONG SEARCHING, AND I SALUTE YOUR YEARS OF INSTRUMENT PRACTICE!! My capslock shouting may seem unnecessary and exaggerated, but I am genuinely overjoyed I can now show my friends what the song sounds like IRL once all the instruments are brought together before the egg! Oh, and I can't wait to hear what it'll be like in the remake. If we are lucky, it'll be a lot like the resulting music of this video :D
Ah reading your comment brings me joy because that's exactly how I felt about it!! The other reason I did this whole thing is that the remake *could* use different instruments (during production of the original the instruments were switched around quite a bit). So I thought someone should at least do a version with them. Happy you enjoyed it! :D
AAAH CONGRATS ON FINISHING THIS PROJECT! THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT AND HAS MADE ME EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR THE REMAKE. WHO KNEW IT WAS POSSIBLE TO BE MORE HYPED FOR ITS RELEASE???
I listen to this whenever i’m in a bad mood because it always lighten me up but because of the editing and the orchestra moment at the end, i can’t help but get overwhelmed and start crying loool
I admire you Luke! I play a lot of wind instruments like flute, ocarina, recorder, didgeridoo, etc. And piano, bells, melodica, and sort of harp. Still having trouble with strings like guitar and violin especially lol. But I'd love to learn more and maybe jam together you're awesome :D
God, this video just let me speechless... Ballad of the Windfish might be my favorite song from a Zelda game, if not from any video game ever, and you made a masterpiece of a remaster. I can't imagine all the work you put on this, but it was worth it, for every second of the video. Thank you mister. P.S. : The editing is also god-tier, nicely done
Sleepers wake, dreams will fade Although we cling fast Was it real, what we saw? I believe… Lost in dreams, we sleep on Tossing and turning Stay with me, by my side Never leave… What if the worst comes? If someday this sweet reverie ends We too, our memories, for real, Fade us by… Dream with me, by the sea We watch the waves crash Hold my hand, think of me And I’ll fly…
Incredible. I've always felt that we got shortchanged on hearing the ballad with all the instruments in game. You work through all these dungeons to collect these instruments, and then can't even hear it more than the one time. I loved getting a new instrument and going to see where it fit in the melody after each dungeon!
The first time I heard this song as a child on my gameboy, it was the first time music moved me on such an emotional level, other than my mom singing me back to sleep after a nightmare. You captured the essence of what I heard back then, with the forgiving memory children have. Thank you for doing this. It must have been a lot of work. It's such a beautiful (if short) composition that doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves.
this is my favorite song in the entire series!!! what a pleasure it is to hear such a fantastic arrangement like this, impeccable work dude 😭 also the actual conch horn was such a charming touch as well !!!!!
This video is criminally underrated. This man put in years of hard work and made a beautiful rendition of the Ballad of the Windfish and honestly I think it deserves at least top 100 youtube videos of all time
I've been of the mind for several years that Isoa Takahata was the greatest Ghibli creator and could have made a Zelda feature. Seeing this really makes me feel like he could have created the perfect adaptation of Link's Awakening.
Ugh I always come back to watch this and my eyes water every time. It's so wholesome and beautifully done, one can tell how much this project means to you ♥️
This goes to show the dedication that people have. I see this game as an inspirational game, mostly through Let's Players like Chuggaaconroy. This is the sweetest project I've ever seen. 16 years. You are amazing.
Holy... This is so underviewed.... Do you know how much I wanted this??! I guess so since you actually went and LEARNED AND ACQUIRED AND PLAYED all the instruments.... Wow. Just wow. Thanks.
at long last a perfect orchestrated version of the song as it was meant to be. i am in tears now, thank you so much! you have no idea how long i have been looking for this...
Full body chills at the end when he pulls out the clarinets, flutes, and violins, which were HIDING THE ENTIRE VIDEO. I am in total awe of your otherworldly talent!!!!!!
Oh. My. Goodness. This is one of my favorite videos of all time. The final product got me so emotional. This is proof that there is beauty in life. The windfish trilling at the end was the icing on the cake!
Nostalgia overload! You really did justice to this beautiful piece of music. Congratulations! I was very impressed that you used the genuine 8 instruments then moved onto your own take with the superb cellos and violins. Would have loved to hear more of those! Honestly I could listen to Ballad of the Wind Fish all day. Anyway, great work. Keep doing what you're doing. And keep coming back to these songs! They're a part of who we are.
Ahhh this means so much thank you!! Righhtttt??? I'm actually probably going to cover it *AGAIN* down the road but adapt it in a bossa nova style or something. It's such a versatile melody :D Thanks bud will def do more LA songs!
I can’t believe there was an end game for the conch shell other than being a meme in the instrument collection videos. Truly played the long game. (This is also gorgeous and i bet it’s so satisfying to finally have this done!)
Omg YES you connected that. I bought it originally a few years ago specifically for this cover when I was planning it but then didn't have everything else so I just kept on using it in the dumbest possible way during those collection vids 😅 Thank you!! It's a huge weight off that I can put it to rest 😊
@@InstrumentManiac It's spectacular that you stuck with it. The fact that it can not reproduce the melody that it performs in the game is kinda outweight by the pure dedication here XD
I thought to myself, hm, I wonder if anyone has ever done a proper instrument cover of the Windfish Ballad? I searched, I found this, and I am literally crying because it's so perfect. I have loved Link's Awakening for over twenty years and this was just so amazingly beautiful. Thank you so much for this.
man, everytime i come back to this that last bit with all the instruments gets me teary-eyed and covered in goosebumps. this is such a beautiful song, and you've truly done it justice. i love the conch shell so much, seriously, that's just magical.
I wanted to cry, so many memories above 20+ years since I had my first Zelda, and it was Awakening, still My fav, so much talent My dude, geeeez goosebumps with the end. Bravo.
@@InstrumentManiac yes, it is! All those bittersweet feelings of reaching the end of the journey and all that implied with it, you made me feel them! Thanks sir!
Link’s Awakening I’d one of my favorite Zeldas; and I have always Wondered what it would sound like IRL since 93! I admire your dedication, thank you so much for sharing!!
Seeing you play the irl instruments of the Links Awakening's instruments wants me to learn how to play like how you did, all I know is that it's gonna be a long journey til I get as good as you, thank you for inspiring me to play more types of instruments
I was skeptical.....and then I was impressed. Link's Awakening DX is one of my favorite games of all time, the first Zelda game I played, and honestly battling with Breath Of The Wild for the position of being the BEST Zelda game. The Ballad Of The Windfish is one of my favorite tunes, and something I regularly find myself whistling. Good job, man. Fantastic work. You really want above and beyond all expectations of how well this could turn out.
as a die hard zelda fan, i remember when i played the balad of the windfish on the game boy, but this, respect man, really you deserve some respect from me, i only play with a ocarina but gee i wish i was that talented like you :D thanks for bringin me mine childhoodmemories back!!!
You're going to make me cry! This game got me emotionally invested, and I was heartbroken at the end. This cover captures what I felt as a little kid. Thank you
Ah thank you for writing this! I feel the same way about the game and it's ending. It's such a powerful story I can't wait to see how it turns out on the switch 😊
I would like to thank the random guy in the comments of a Let'sPlay stream of the remake, saying the cello didn't sound right. Guy you made me go find the real thing and here I am.
Thanks for the kind words Chris! I realize it was an artistic decision to use computer instruments but I'm glad I could provide the real-world alternative :)
Thank you so much for creating this cover. It was so beautiful. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is my Favorite Zelda game and I love "Ballad of the Wind Fish". Thank you for making me so happy.
The Full Moon Chello a Reagle sound The Conch Horn echos of the past The Sea Lilly's Bell the Chime of Innocence The Surf Harp a Cascading Lullaby The Wind Marimba Notes of Mystery The Coral Triangle The Dings of Preparation The Organ of Evening Calm a Melancholy Reprise The Thunder Drum the March to the Finale these 8 instruments are a ballad of dreams personified the happiness of sleep and the sorrow of the dream finally coming to an end may you one day rest again mighty Wind Fish
Directo al corazón. Que gran interpretación de la balada del pez viento. Lágrimas en mis ojos de emoción y nostalgia. Muchas gracias! Straight to the heart. What a great interpretation of the ballad of the wind fish. Tears in my eyes of emotion and nostalgia. Thank you very much!❤️❤️
Link's Awakening was the first game I ever owned myself. I'm so fucking proud of you man, you fulfilled my childhood dream too. Keep moving forward and don't stop making good music.
Link's Awakening wasn't the first game I ever played, but it was the first game that was *mine* that I ever played. Second game I ever finished (behind Metroid 2) as well. This song has always had a special place in my heart. Honestly there's too many feelings to put just one or two in a comment, so I'll just say... you're not the only one who had their wish granted with this. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic! You are an amazing and talented musician!
I like how using a real conch shell really changes how it sounds. Also, that surprise orchestral ending. Lovely job!
Glad you appreciated the real conch and the orchestra :) thanks maugos!
Thank god for the ending. The conch shell really burst my bubble. It sounded so nice when you added all the other instruments at the end.
CAN WE ACKNOWLEDGE HIS EDITING? Ugh HIS MIND!!!!!!!!!!
omggg
@@InstrumentManiac i loved the segments where link got the instruments and you played each segment perfectly tuned to the part of the ballad they play
and this video is one of my favorite
This is perhaps the most epic thing I have ever seen inspired by the Legend of Zelda. Not so much the recreation, but that you dedicated yourself to mastering so many instruments in order to do so. You are to be applauded.
Thanks Charles! Making it felt like a proper bookend to all the time I spent playing the game as a kid. I'm happy it's complete :)
@@InstrumentManiac Back when I played the original gameboy version, I was impressed that the game-makers were able to mimic instrument variety and multiple instrument music so well given that they were working with 8-bit sound at best. But I was never inspired to do something like this. You, sir, are a polished gem among Zelda fans.
@@InstrumentManiac I think those of us who played the game have been searching our whole lives in vain for a bookend that doesn’t exist.
This might be the best video on RUclips.
Ahh happy you like it!
Link had a hard time going in dungeons after dungeons to break the giant egg and awaken the windfish when he just need to find this guy.
Kidding aside, this is so good.
He plays the conch so majestically
15 years of those lessons were spent on the triangle alone, so they say
The hardest instrument to grasp
OH MY GOD!! THANK you for making this!! Ever since I learned of Links Awakening a few years ago, I have been looking around for a version of Ballad of the Windfish where all the 8 instruments are played for real!

This is absolutely amazing. The video deserves WAY more views.
Lol I was expecting a French Horn but then it was a conch 😂
Haha I chose to try to make everything "real"
@@InstrumentManiac late comment im aware but uh, if you were going for that why didnt you include the ocarina?
There’s never audio of the ocarina being played in the arrangement.
@@InstrumentManiac was prolly added in the remake then, i never beat the gameboy one
@@EntermateStar the ocarina isnt actually played in the remake either, its just aesthetic i guess
AAAH CONGRATS ON FINISHING THIS PROJECT! THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT AND HAS MADE ME EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR THE REMAKE. WHO KNEW IT WAS POSSIBLE TO BE MORE HYPED FOR ITS RELEASE???
AHH THANK U RIGHT!? THIS REMAKE IS GOING TO BE ✨✨🔥🔥
I love the little small victory sound effects like when you get a heart container or pick up an instrument Zelda games are the best
I couldn't even play the Triangle...
That was amazing. Got goose bumps all over my windfish body.
Thanks Hannes!
*Grumpy Wind Fish* - "WHO'S MAKING ALL THAT GOD DAMN RACKET?!?"
It's actually a crime how little views this has. What an amazing video.
This is so beautiful. It makes me cry like a baby every time. I'm so sorry, Marin, for dying...
I'm gonna cry. This makes my little nerd heart so happy.
Woah, this is amazing, this needs WAY more attention, I-
wait
*That's how you play a triangle!?*
A lalafell!!!!!!
It is!! Cajun triangle technique - usually a bigger triangle but they didn't exactly give dimensions for the Coral Triangle 😂
I listen to this whenever i’m in a bad mood because it always lighten me up
but because of the editing and the orchestra moment at the end, i can’t help but get overwhelmed and start crying loool
Ahh that's great to hear! I'm releasing a full remastered version on itunes/spotify next week :)
I admire you Luke! I play a lot of wind instruments like flute, ocarina, recorder, didgeridoo, etc. And piano, bells, melodica, and sort of harp. Still having trouble with strings like guitar and violin especially lol. But I'd love to learn more and maybe jam together you're awesome :D
Thanks Rey - best of luck with your instrument journey!
This deserves more views.
This is beyond beautiful. I'm in tears. Link's awakening was the first Gameboy game I hade.
This brought tears to my eyes. :'3 bravo sir.
This needs more views!!!! ahhh!
😊😊😊
An enormous wave of emotion hits me like a brick at 2:25. Just the best version of this piece I have heard.
Love not just the results here but the fact that this was attempted at all with the real instruments.
Thank you for doing this, this is what look for when I search for soundtrack remaster
Ah thanks for the kind words Luis! Yes I figured I should do it before the OST drops 😂
i've never seen a single video that makes me want to subscribe to someone.
you have earned this : )
Wow this is a very underrated video that was performed and edited superbly.
Thank you! I thought at least someone should make a version with the real instruments and I just happened to have most of them 😂
Can we give this man a $&?!ing trophy?!
Willing to accept any and all trophies thank u 😂
@Theodore Arndt OWAH XD I didn't expect a Korok in the replies!
Everybody always talks about living the dream, but you sir, you actually did something about it. Excellent job man.
Thanks bud! Just happy to have finished such a long standing project :)
God, this video just let me speechless... Ballad of the Windfish might be my favorite song from a Zelda game, if not from any video game ever, and you made a masterpiece of a remaster.

Sleepers wake, dreams will fade
Although we cling fast
Was it real, what we saw?
I believe…
Lost in dreams, we sleep on
Tossing and turning
Stay with me, by my side
Never leave…
What if the worst comes?
If someday this sweet reverie ends
We too, our memories, for real,
Fade us by…
Dream with me, by the sea
We watch the waves crash
Hold my hand, think of me
And I’ll fly…

thanks robert!
Brings a tear to my eye
Ugh I always come back to watch this and my eyes water every time. It's so wholesome and beautifully done, one can tell how much this project means to you ♥️
Thanks for watching Christopher! I'm glad other people appreciate the tune ^_^
Four years later and this still punches me in the feels. Your arrangement is so spectacular.
The ballad of the windfish always makes me cry, thanks again my guy lol
I'm legitimately crying right now. Thank you.
Ah hope they were good tears 😊
Me: playing an instrument is so hard.
Luke: hold my camera
😂😂😂
One of the most badass VGM covers on youtube. This cover made me quite emotional.
thanks Ash!
This goes to show the dedication that people have. I see this game as an inspirational game, mostly through Let's Players like Chuggaaconroy. This is the sweetest project I've ever seen. 16 years. You are amazing.
Thanks for the kind words bud! I'm glad that everyone can bring a little something different to appreciating the game in this community :)
Note: I now have played the switch version and I now know what it's like to cry thanks to a video game.
Whats even more impressive is that you made it through all the dungeons to collect them all.
Honestly some of the places I had to go to do the craigslist purchases were dungeons
this is definetly one of the best videos i've ever seen
Holy... This is so underviewed.... Do you know how much I wanted this??! I guess so since you actually went and LEARNED AND ACQUIRED AND PLAYED all the instruments.... Wow. Just wow. Thanks.
Aw thanks! I was just happy to have finished the project even if not many ppl watched it :)
This literally put me in tears. Masterful, just absolutely beautiful. Oh my god.

I cried at this part and I don't know why....It's like I heard the most beautiful music of the angels or something
Oh. My. Goodness. This is one of my favorite videos of all time. The final product got me so emotional. This is proof that there is beauty in life. The windfish trilling at the end was the icing on the cake!
Ah thanks Jacob!
Omg amazing job, you must have dedicated so many hours on this masterpiece! ✨✨✨
Ah thank you Moises! The hardest part was actually recording the individual instruments at the beginning 🤣 after that it was pretty smooth sailing!
Nostalgia overload! You really did justice to this beautiful piece of music. Congratulations!

One of the moment beautiful versions ever. And it is the true version.
I can't stop crying. 😭

One of the best soundtracks 😩 Blessed to see this masterpiece

The Sea Lilly's Bell the Chime of Innocence
The Surf Harp a Cascading Lullaby
The Wind Marimba Notes of Mystery
The Coral Triangle The Dings of Preparation
The Organ of Evening Calm a Melancholy Reprise
The Thunder Drum the March to the Finale
