A couple more recital drawings!

In the second one, I wanted to convey that Link feels that something about Sheik feels oddly familiar... I hope it comes across 😊

“what do you mean you wouldn’t be insulted if sheik’s theme was what your future partner associated with you?”

are--are you fucking joking?

that’s the princess in disguise giving the hero the most help when he fucking needs it. it’s symbolic of her adaptability to her surroundings, her willingness to do whatever it takes to protect and aid the hero (there are also a LOT of arguments about gender fluidity in zelda as a character, but as a cishet person i am not qualified to talk about those things and quite frankly don’t want to as they’ve already been discussed at length by people smarter than me, please just look at the tags for the fandom and i promise you’ll find everything you need)

no. no i wouldn’t be insulted.

that harp gives me a lot of comfort. much like the temple of time melody: i’d know that sound anywhere. maybe you should chill for a bit and listen with me. <3 i have an extra chair. it’s all yours. sit with me.

"Movement II - The Ocarina of Time" from Symphony of the Goddesses

Follow me on: Patreon | SoundCloud | YouTube | Twitter

Performed Digitally by: Jacob Barber

Themes by: Koji Kondo Arranged by: Chad Seiter Orchestrated by: Susie Benchasil Seiter & Chad Seiter

This was a BEAST of a track! The longest I've performed yet, and the second longest in the whole symphony (second only to the Link to the Past movement)! I really pushed myself for quality and fidelity, trying everything I've learned to get the sound I wanted and I think it absolutely paid off.

This piece is challenging on it's own right, difficult time signatures, tons of polyphony, and intense instrumentation definitely threw me through a loop. I love so many little pieces of its brilliance. Translating Link's Nightmare musically was such a successful way of beginning the piece, and the expansion of the Title Theme was absolutely gorgeous.

I would also argue that Chad and Susie's arrangement of Hyrule Field is absolutely the best I've heard, and the way it transitions into Saria's Song is just brilliant. Furthermore, I ADORE the sequence they create with Ganondorf Battle, into a richly reorchestrated Escape from Hyrule Castle, flowing seamlessly into the Last Battle. And that last moment with the Seal of the Six Sages and the little sting of Majora's Theme... this is probably one of my favorite pieces of video game orchestral music.

What was most interesting to me was how easily many of the pieces flowed together. While I've definitely gotten a better grasp on mixing, some parts present real challenges but overall the dynamic level was well balanced in the orchestration. I think I've definitely picked up a few tricks for future use.

One last tidbit--this performance is actually a bit of preservation too, as you actually won't ever hear the Ocarina of Time Movement performed in its entirety anymore (at least at the Symphony of the Goddesses), as they cut the first two minutes of the movement to make time for the Skyward Sword Movement, omitting the Link's Nightmare and Deku Tree segments.

Hope you all enjoy this track as much as I did making it! It triggered some long-buried nostalgia for me. Even though I don't enjoy playing OoT anymore, this refreshed the amazing memories I had with the game--maybe it'll do the same for you!
