Title Theme (Zelda: Ocarina of Time) | Classical Guitar Cover

Title Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) acoustic classical guitar cover

My first Ocarina of Time cover! It's out today on Spotify and other streaming services if you are into that sorta thing. I vividly remember playing (and watching my older brother play) OoT on N64 when I was a kid. I could never progress too far in the game at the time (cringe) but I remember my brother beating Ganon and it being one of the most hyped moments. We even called our mom to come look. 🤣🤣

Nostalgia isn't the only reason this is good. Never owned an N64, song still injects onions in your eyes.

[Xorn]

This rendition captures that somber vibe so perfectly

[rockman]

This gotta be the best and most faithful guitar cover of the Title Theme on Youtube!

[CameronRaps]

This song was the first of many that I heard and instantly fell in love with as a kid. So much nostalgia in such a simple melody.

[cadenluke]

I feel blessed to be able to listen to your playing at my whim...life enchancer!

[alexwillis]

I can't fathom how much work and practice you've put in to sound so clean, so on tempo, so beautiful it seems easy. So good so effortlessly that i forget to even pay attention and just get lost in the music. I've been playing guitar for 8 years, and i can only dream of having your skill. Well done man:) a perfect arrangement of a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece

[cainanneedham]

Might be the best Zelda song cover I’ve ever heard. Fantastic job, fella!

[luisicky]

bro why you gotta make a grown man cry😭

[Jimjamm]

Takes me back to my childhood, man those were just simpler times. Take care John!

[ryancronk]

Damn man I felt this to my soul gave me that shiver up the spine when the nostalgia hits

[zackboring]

Sir, I am going to try and cover this BUT with an AC30 clean channel. Nobody (maybe one other person) as tried to do this song on an Electric guitar; It is all Classical or acoustic guitars. So I played the first two chords, and HOLY CRAP THE AC30 FREEKING WORKS WITH THIS

[Pirabit]

Bro, I got so nostalgic listening to this. You did an amazing job!

[eustace]

This moved me. I've listened to a lot of beautiful music... And I'm happy to have come across this.

[Lacostebum]

You killed it ma man. Bravo 👏🏾🎉 In the '90s I played OoT religiously and this sounds the closest I've heard it to the real thing. Thanks!

[bryanquick]

this is really pretty. dunno if it's because you're playing in a desert or because of the specific acoustics of the place, but it feels really clean, with each chord and individual tone having a bit of room to, like, bloom. it's nice.

[Saltydoginthedesert]

Great rendition of that tune! Attempting to learn it at the moment. Also, cheers on the setting! I was born and raised in Phoenix, and Papago Park and all the other mountains were my old stomping grounds!

[skiw]

My new study playlist :) Make more Zelda covers! I love your covers!

[CoreyDyer]

saw this on my home feed, 10/10 cover you did great!

[LazyVocalist]

Wow... just wow. Such a classic song. Beautifully done!
