Tears of the Kingdom Chiptune-Inspired Medley (from Zeldathon Echoes)

Описание: Hi! Zeldathon Echoes just ended, and people have been asking me about the music involved, so I figured I'd make this available! For the Team Credits of Zeldathon Echoes, I made a custom "chiptune-inspired" medley of themes that appear in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

I say "chiptune-inspired" because it wasn't made with a chip or tracker and doesn't completely follow the limitations of an actual chiptune piece. I actually wrote out all the notes in Finale first then exported a MIDI to REAPER. The sounds were made using Super Audio Cart by Impact Soundworks, and this visualization was made using ALMAMPlayer.

I've actually been arranging the credits music for Zeldathon events for the past couple years. Most of the time I've been using "full orchestra with a drumset" for a texture and realizing the sounds using virtual instruments. This time, however, was a break from the pattern.

This Tears of the Kingdom Medley was made for the Team Credits, and there are also two separate custom musical segments for the Heroes and Donor Credits. For each of these, I was very fortunate to receive the assistance of very kind musicians from the video game music community. There will likely be a separate video for each of these, though they'll probably be on the ‪@Zeldathon‬ channel, not here.

Anyway, not too often that I share stuff like this, so hope you enjoy! Here's a timestamped list of tracks.
