Relax in a Field With Ocarina of Time on Ocarina

Relax in a Field With Ocarina of Time on Ocarina


Listen to these covers of the Ocarina of Time soundtrack and watch your cares melt away.

You've no doubt heard the multitude of ways [http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Time-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309100581&sr=8-1] already, but I'm sorry, it's time for one more. A man has performed his renditions of many of Ocarina of Time's memorable tracks on a replica of the Ocarina of Time itself, and it's one of the greatest covers I've ever heard.

Sure, this type of thing has been done before, but there's something different about this guy. Maybe it's the air of mystery about him as he plays in the forest, sitting on stumps and standing in windy fields.

His video shows real world locales that relate to the songs as he plays. During Lon Lon Ranch, we see some grazing cows and a huge horse head. The Windmill song is accompanied by images of... windmills. It's very relaxing.

It also doesn't hurt that he really knows what he's doing with that ocarina. Using harmonies and other techniques, he plays that thing even better than Link. Granted, Link only plays as well as you, and you probably just mess around when all Link wants to do is call his horse.

I have to go lie down in a field now.

For some reason, I never get tired of OOT music covers.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

That guy is awesome. I wish I had a replica of the Ocarina of Time.

I almost died of happiness when Sarah's Song and the Song of Storms started.

 

[Lacsapix]

So many memories just came back!

 

[Joel Dawson]

That was just amazing. I wish I knew how to play an ocarina. Sadly, all the instructions for mine are in Chinese. I don't know how to read Chinese.

That guy is awesome. I wish I had a replica of the Ocarina of Time.

It's costly, but here it is: http://www.stlocarina.com/ztenor3.html (Don't think it's the exact same as this guy though)

And somebody please report me! I've abused the replay button!

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

...Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

Seriously, that was so calming. Playing through the 3DS version recently (which is amazing), so hearing all these was a nice reminder that I should get back to that (instead of preparing for the German exam I have tomorrow).

 

[Speakercone]

Found a place to buy one. Might just have to add to my collection of odd musical instruments

I wonder how much ocarina sales have gone up since OoT?

 

[TheEvilCheese]

Just started the 3ds version myself today and suddenly seeing covers everywhere!
(excellent remake By the way)

This man really knows what he's doing. And this video is why I refuse to play OOT without the sound on full.

I own a simplified Ocarina of Time, actually. I don't remember the website where I bought it, I got it many, many years ago.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Sweet Jesus this is relaxing. Granted I've heard these songs like 100 times, but still.

 

[Erana]

Relaxing music seasoned with the sweet spice of Nostalgia.
This is one of those things that makes you happy to be old enough to have seen this game's release.


And once again, the question no one asks is:

Why the hell would someone take an instrument as random as an ocarina and give it the power to manipulate time?
I mean, this is a royal heirloom. Wouldn't it be solid gold and something a bit more... regal?

 

[theskadudeguy]

Yeah its nice and all but why is he dressed up like hes about to take part in a hiphop/rap battle and blinged up? Is he lost?

I remember the day my nan told me that ocarina means little goose...that made me laugh

Might have been from where I got mine, namely [url}http://www.songbirdocarina.com/zelda-ocarinas]Songbird Ocarinas[/url]

The Zelda music is always nice to listen to. So many memories.

 

[DJ Jack]

Awesome! To bad I am in class right now, otherwise I would give these new covers a try. Oh well, I guess I know what I will be listening to when I study tonight!

 

[KezzieZ]

That's some pretty awesome covers.

 

[Atmos Duality]

And some people say video games have no cultural value.
They haven't heard this.

 

[Alar]

I really, really like this. I've listened to it at least four times since I found it.

 

[Littlee300]

Must buy 3DS and get the remake of OOC
