Zelda Tal Tal Heights (Hammered Dulcimer cover)

My Hammered Dulcimer rendition of Tal Tal Heights from Zelda Link's Awakening. I've recreated and rearranged a chiptune orchestration along with the recorded instrument to bring the feel of the original tune.

That.....
Was really, really good.

[@elizabethkrause1500]

This is so fun! I always thought dulcimer would sound good covering these old 8 bit video game soundtracks. Great work, and the opening animation is super cute. :D

[@ValCortoni]

Thank you so much Elizabeth! Just watched your Psaltery channel, this is awesome, I'd love to watch more of these!

[@im_Spade_]

This was SERIOUSLY AMAZING 😳🥺

[@LAGNAETTI]

Amazing arrangement, Val. It brings me so much joy!!

[@ValCortoni]

Thank you so much, makes me feel really glad :) this song is so majestic and uplifting, even with original 8-bits game boy synth !

[@robsonclark9678]

[@roxazaloah]

Love this... this makes me fall in love with the instrument even more! Lovely work. Thank you!

[@ValCortoni]

Thank you so much ! :)

[@humaniodxeno889]

You have GOT to do the main theme of zelda on that... ive been looking for it on this instrument but this is as close as i can find

[@ValCortoni]

Thank you! This is well noted 😊 When I play Tal Tal theme for myself I usually also add the main theme of Zelda very quietly as an outro, as they blend so well together

[@markalanwade]

Bravo!!

[@SweetPotatoTim]

This is so cool!!
Did the retardando and accelerando happen in the original? Or was the chiptune an edit? If so what edit is it because it sounds so epic too!

[@dragoon666]

Need to try and DO FFX To zanarkand

[@ValCortoni]

Hey! Sure, didn't learn it yet but I'm considering doing it some day :)

[@KrahzduulTheObliterator]

Why does this sound like the dusting-off and reawakening of something ancient...?

[@escarrot5089]

Is there a version without the audio from the game?

[@ValCortoni]

Hi! There is this short extract without the backing track on my instagram : instagram.com/p/CMVebr2CU9u/
