Zelda Fan Plays Mind-Blowing Wineglass Symphony

​

It's one thing to teach yourself to play the Song of Healing from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's another thing to turn it into stunning performance art.

I've always thought wineglass xylophones were kind of cool. You know, you fill a bunch of glasses with different amounts of water to produce different tones when struck - and some people are really, really good at using wineglasses to play music. YouTube user Sp0ontanius [http://www.youtube.com/user/Sp0ntanius],however, takes things to a mind-blowing level with this cover of the Song of Healing from Majora's Mask.

Sure, it starts out simple enough. "Oh, how cute," you might say, "He's playing five different parts by himself. That must take some impressive timing and a lot of practice."

Then the camera tricks start, and I have trouble keeping up with everything that's happening on-screen. I can't even imagine how many tries it took to get this right. Oh sure, the Zelda cover is awesome (do the Requiem of Spirit next!), but it's the performance here that really sells it.

I can't even play one set of wineglasses. Way to make me feel inadequate, dude.

Water amazing video! I don't mean to wine, but that guy is a bad-gl-ass!

EDIT: I regret nothing

Wow, someone has too much time on their hands. But still, that was pretty impressive. I don't remember the song in particular, but that version sounded very... haunting? Creepy, or however you want to say it. It sounded like something from a horror film to me.

I am now going to wine about the horrible puns you've orchestrated.

Awesome video, does he have more? Would love a more iconic song (I never played Majora's Mask.)

 

[kokirisoldier]

WOW! That was really damn good! Also point from my favorite Zelda game.

And this is where I step in to cast down the heretics.

Anyway, that was a bloody awesome performance, and a fantastic song choice.

The Mario Bros. Theme, perhaps? That will be a tough one... O_O

In my defense, I haven't played Majora's Mask in likely 5 or more years. Though you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Great song, nice editing, cool use of wine glasses. And Majora's Mask music is awesome.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

I don't even-
How?
Is he a sorcerer?

 

[Najal]

made me need the toilet.

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Song of Healing is already sublime in game, but glassware made it sound even better. A fine performance indeed.

 

[dubious_wolf]

Duuuuuude
DUUUUUUDE That was so damn cool.
This guy he wins.

My favorite comment on the youtube page: "Now you're thinking with Portals!"

That is awesome. This should be in an art gallery.

 

[Tharticus]

This is awesome. Impeccable timing with all 9 cameras. He's got talent and played with one of my favorite music in Majora's Mask.

Full of win.

 

[roostuf]

That was an amazing video dude! keep up the good work man.

 

[Hippobatman]

I- I don't know what to say.

He made me feel incredibly relaxed. Thank you, kind sir, and Funk for showing.

I don't know what's with this song, but it's so soothing, though sad. I need to play Majora's Mask again.
