Zelda: A Link to the Past - Hyrule Castle Acapella

Here's my a-cappella arrangement of Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!

One of the most iconic themes from one of my absolute favorite games of all time, I've put off recording this song for years! So glad to finally dig into this song, and the challenges that came with it. Without much percussion, I noticed this arrangement didn't hit as hard as the original, so I got creative and put my own percussion in. The goal was the make it sound just like the original and not get in the way. It's crazy how many of my favorite songs Koji Kondo composed... Hope you guys enjoy :)

My favorite Zelda game!

You can play the Wizard Agahnim in the live-action remake!

Hello
I’m big fan of you from Japan for ten years!! I heard your music when junior
high school student for the first time.
I learned English, so I’m glad to comment in English! I really enjoy your music still now!

[NathanielBandy]

I'm surprised you haven't made this one already

When this song started I thought "Smooth hasn't done this already?"
Then I realized that the world was a little more complete.

If Nintendo won't do more for Zelda's anniversary, leave it to Smooth McGroove! I still absolutely adore this song and its motif, beautiful cover King

[thebrittasport]

I would play an Indie-game that was completely "orchestrated" with you! Seriously, this sounds so great.

My 6 year old son wanted me to tell you this is the best song he's heard his whole entire life! And I agree! We enjoy listening to your songs!

Link to the past is the best Zelda game in my opinion. So much iconic music from this game!

If you throw Charl into the fountain to get an upgrade, the fairy keeps him because he's so awesome.

[NineTailedNaruto]

This song sure is a blast from the past.

[SorchaSheRaven]

You gotta love how Smooth gets each and every single note right, it sounds just the same as in the game, only with "badabaps"

[Juegow]

Man....this really bring back memories. My dad absolutely loved Zelda. He wouldn't play them, but loved sitting in my room for hours helping me with the puzzles and gave tips on how to beat the bosses. Thank you for this!

The guy with the beard was really carrying everyone else

[HenriqueMelo]

*This track is a masterpiece, just like the game itself.*

Smooth McGroove in 2021? Return of the King

[Linkforlife]

OMG I am reliving my childhood all over again, this was incredible to listen to.

[TheBadBuffalo]

Was just jamming out to old Smooth covers earlier and then I get this gift in my subscriptions. What a great way to spend my sick day :)

As a songwriter and arranger, his content has always drawn me in. I really would love to see/learn a bit more about how this god of a man actually puts all of this together.

Dude you KILLED this song's ominous tone. Kudos to those sweet pipes of yours.
