    Hello my friends! This month, I wanted to make a video of Ballad of the Windfish from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It's another song that I love to play from lead sheets, but had never made an actual video for it.
    I like to think of my harp arrangement as a relaxed, totally chilled out version as if you were sitting on the beach on a tropical island, palm trees above you, a breeze blowing through them. Ahhh.
    To do that, I slowed it waaaaaaaaay down hahaha, even slower than I originally thought I would do, and replace the original accompaniment with something a little more straightforward and leaning into those mellow seventh chords.
    And of course, this video would not be complete if I didn't wear my Windfish t-shirt 😄 (It was a limited-run design from either an AGDQ or SGDQ of a few years past, so it probably isn't available anymore.)
    Anywho, sheet music is up on Musicnotes, links are above! Hope you enjoy playing it if you pick it up :)

    out of all the wonderful pieces of music from the zelda franchise this one has always stood out to me as one of the best, it is so interesting how slowing it down on the harp can make it even more beautiful, thank you for playing it for us! I am so adding this to my zelda playlist!

    Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. You play beautifully. When I was a child my first choice for an instrument to play in the orchestra was the harp. My parents convinced me that something a little easier to carry around might be better, so I ended up playing the cello, but the harp will always be one of my favorite instruments. I've just saved your Zelda Harp Covers playlist and an looking forward to listening. Thank you again!

    This is really pretty. It's been one of my favorite video game songs for more than 30 years (oh god I feel old)

    A great cover! I feel like every Zelda game has its own special song, and this is definitely the one for Link's Awakening.

    My very first "favourite videogame song" ever. Nothing else at the time could produce something as beautiful as this on my GameBoy speakers.
