Hey hey hey! This is a medley arrangement of music from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's a commission for a good friend of mine, (Darren Kerwin, who is also the one singing at the end!), who organised this whole project as a birthday gift to a friend of his. These are the Zelda soundtracks I arranged, in the order they appear in the track:

Ultimately, the whole point of this medley is to tell a story. Zelda OoT players are aware that in the game you start out as young Link, and as you progress you eventually come across the Temple of Time, which contains the Master Sword. Picking up this sword accelerates Link's growth, and as he wields it he realises he's now a young man. This is something Darren and I wanted to reflect in the music, so you'll hear the moments where Link finds the temple, enters it, approaches the sword, and finally picks it up. True to its story, I also tried to make the song "mature" musically as it progressed, starting off as a fun little folk tune and ending as an operatic, orchestral piece.

As for the technical stuff, this was produced using FL Studio 12, a bunch of East/West libraries, Omnisphere, and Versilian Studious Chamber Orchestra 2. I also have to thank the following people for lending their wonderful talents in the form of live recordings:

Vocals, ocarina, and maracas: Darren Kerwin
Violin: Matt Macellaio - www.soundcloud.com/trikeair/
French Horn: Ariane Côté

Special thanks also to Samuel Hébert for helping with the French Horn!

I hope that both Zelda and non-Zelda fans alike enjoy this! Thanks for listening :). Oh, and I've posted the lyrics for the part at the end below, starting off in English and finishing off in Latin!

Enter the temple
A hero's footsteps
Walking softly through the dark
Stones of the spirits
Will form a pathway
To the blade of evil's bane

Many trials have led you here
To the future from the past
Guided by the ancient sages
Light will find you
Face the dark lord
End his iron wrath

Intrare templum
Vestigia heros
Quisque paula tim tenebris
Lapides spiritus
Numquid iter faciunt
Malum malo gladium

Qui probatio aderunt
Futurum ex anteactum
Duco priscus sophus
Lux erit vobis
Tenebrae faciem domini
