This song struck a chord in my heart. It breathed new life into my favorite franchise of all time. LOL it makes me want to ride horseback through the countryside, and I will say for all the Zelda fanboys like me, we've always dreamed of being a hero.
fucking awesome song, i'm a sony fan, but Legend of Zelda is a fucking classic, i mean, if you say you are a gamer and don't know this song...fuck, you suck...
Do you know nothing!? The cello has a wider range than you assume.
I have seen in my high school orchestra, a cello playing as first violin... in the same octive mind you. The cello does in fact have the capability to play the high notes you hear.
Your ignorant and blasphemous remarks are obviously the first thoughts of a scatterbrained teenager. Do some research before stating your "facts".
To further prove my point, listen to the octives in some of Apocaliptica's other songs.
Holy shit, dude. I never said anything about range.
Cellos have a vastly different timbre at high ranges like this.
As for the research, maybe you should do yours: Apocalyptica hasn't claimed any credit for the song, and has even said that it's not them.
This song is composed by Koji Kondo and arranged by Ryuichi Katsumata. It was played by a string quartet on the CD "Hyrule Symphony" Search amazon and/or google for that and "Zelda Medley"
2nd, they have more than one: * 1996: Plays Metallica by Four Cellos * 1996: Apocalyptica (Christmas Single) * 1998: Inquisition Symphony * 2000: Cult * 2002: Best of Apocalyptica (Japan only) * 2003: Reflections * 2005: Apocalyptica * 2006: Amplified // A Decade of Reinventing the Cello * 2007: Worlds Collide
3rd, Legend of Zelda Medley is not in any of them.
4th, this is played by 1 cello, 1 viola, and 2 violins.
Probably already been said, but I don't think this is Twilight Princess. It sounds like, well, every Zelda. At 3:20 it sounds like A Link to the Past.
@Zack2Attack well for one i like your catchy name:) , but like the creator said it is just the name of the song, and it sounds like a whole symphony of string instruments not only cellos like what APOCOLYPTICA is known for.
@stev1392 i hope so too. you could use it in many diff places also. and some thunder going off in the background. and it could be epic. you could use it all over the place

Zelda has obsessed me, really the only reason I bought a DS was for zelda. Im sure the Wii will eventually be mine for the same reason.
Really like the art with the poster for this vid

This isn't by apocalyptica. Apocalytica plays Cellos, this is a string quartet with two violins, a viola and a cello.
The artist of the song is Koji Kondo.
