  • As good as this game is, im just so dissapointed by the sort of downgrade they made in terms of a musical instrument. C'mon, guys, you have full motion controls at your disposal! They could have made a fantastic conductor system, like in wind waker, but for real

  • Finally! x] I Finally did it!

  • So do you get gratitude crystals if you finish this?

  • Fi there is 95% chance I prefer your singing to this chick and I have understanding of why her partner left -_-

  • try doing this after doing dohdos minigame... Youll end up balistic

  • I think... this is my favorite Zelda song ever...

  • FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUU YOU MAKE THIS LOOK SO EASY >:O

  • Here is how i did it

    TURN OFF THE SOUND!

    Like it says in the description anticipating their movements will end badly. So if you mute you're tv you can watch the characters instead of the music. and also your prize is a

    A piece of heart. hope this helps

  • Yep, our music is good enouph for Zelda, Fi, Hylia, and the rest of the three Godesses, but not good enouph for a couple of bums at a bar...

  • I CANT DO IT! D:<

  • -3- I can NOT do this part....I'm getting REALLY P-Oed

  • This is the only part in the game where the motion controls are complete garbage.

  • I am finding it pretty amusing how worked up people are getting over this one little sidequest. It's not too terribly difficult. Don't complain about Nintendo "ruining Zelda" with motion controls just because you can't beat a little minigame.

  • Psh. Skyward Sword is so amazing. Who cares about the motion controls? Still a masterpiece.

  • I should also make a note that im my opinion, all the Skyward Sword NPCs look like ass (excluding Zelda and possibly the Goron). Not only that, most of them insults and that makes me go nuts.

    Impa, asshole. Goose, asshole. This girl, asshole. And she even says that we are a little decent at the end. -__-

  • I did this today, in the end, Me and my bro were worn out and pissed. I was literally swinging the controller and numchik like a freaking spear. Hell no, I aint doing this ever again. Even if I start a new file or Hero quest.

  • Worse than the silent relams so far...

  • My right arm is going to fall off

  • Here's how to beat the harp game in three steps:

    /watch?v=ZQYYVvVOkjQ

  • This is fucking stupid and so is the one on fun fun island. This game would have been better with a controller played like um I don't know a video game maybe? Instead of stupid ass fucking motion controls... Ruined Zelda!!! Good job Nintendo.

  • The whole time I've been strumming gradually, trying to keep pace with the crowd (like you're supposed to do with the circle, when you play other songs). I'm definitely gonna try it this way now, even though the song sounds much worse.

  • @Delspencerdeltorro It worked, although no one was impressed with it. Fuck, I hate motion controls, and the harp is the worst of them.

  • FUCK MOTION CONTROLS, FUCK YOUR GOD DAMN GIMMICKS NINTENDO, THIS SHIT IS PROOF THAT YOU'RE SUCH A BUNCH OF TOOLS FOR TRYING TO INCORPORATE IT IN THIS PIECE OF SHIT MINI GAME

  • I cant do this, the controller messes up and i cant play correctly from left to right

  • i never thought hearing a girl sing lalala would be so amusing

  • @tk0192, nothing happens the chandelier can't fall down, it's impossible

  • erh high accuracy playing there i have to practice to do it like that xD

  • What happens if you ram the wall again with the new chandelier up? I've had this crazy urge to do it since it appeared, so I've banned myself from the bar.

  • what? i just kept the same pace the whole song, same result

  • HaHa!! I did it!! Don't know what I was doing wrong, don't know what I did right but just like that I did it. Have to say this mini game is the sore eye of an otherwise incredible game. Stupid!!

  • I always fail at this thing, and I can't seem to keep up with the rythom. Idky

  • Thank you for this video. Glad too see I am not the only one who has been screwing up on this. -.-

  • Thanks man. This was really useful.

  • FUUUUUUCKKKKK THHHHHISSSS SHIIIITTTTTTT. this girl is getting 40 pumpkins to the face if she steps outside her fucking home.

  • i took me forever i was always get 99% of the game complete when it first came to my area but i finally did it :)

  • i can't seem to plz them

  • ...And it's not like I don't know how to play an instrument, either... I've been playing drums for over 20 years and guitar for 15 years... this game is the F**king problem... and I usually NEVER use profanity like this, but I'd rather vent this way rather than throw the wii controller through my tv screen. I've wasted almost an hour on this crap! I'm all for slashing every last one of those F**kers and burning that place to the F**king ground.

  • Yeah, I would like to shoot the programmer for this stupid harp idea. I strum fine for the first part, and after the "frelance solo" when those jagoffs stop waving their arms, no matter how perfect I swing that F**king wii controller, it doesn't follow my swing and either doesn't strum at all or stops halfway... I've tried about 20 times, and I got all the way to the end with one or two more strums and the controller F**ked me again.

  • When I get to the end of a strum, the harp goes back up a little. Because of this I keep fucking up, help?

  • Haha so true! I hope they hang another chandelier just so I can FUS RO DAH it!lol

  • The barkeep, his daughter and those two customers should be thankful this is Skyward sword and not Skyrim, because after the ninth failure I am more than ready and willing to brutally murder every single one of them.

  • I suck when it comes to doing this...

  • I did this part, and I really enjoyed it. I guess being a musician does that to you. You're supposed to strum until your hand reaches the side the people are leaning to. Their hands are kinda like a metronome, and they tell you how fast you're supposed to go. I got perfect hundreds of times, and made a ton of money doing so. I really don't see what is so difficult about this quest. =S

  • @CJluvsMJ27 It was just really unclear about how to strum when it was explained in game. I thought that the strum was supposed to be more gradual and consistent, so that it was almost never stopping. That's how it sounded like it was supposed to be done, so it threw me off. I'm sure others would agree.

  • @CJluvsMJ27 So thats how its done, see I was trying to follow the rythom and the hand movement, but I just kept messing up. Hmmm well, in a little while I will try it again. Maybe when I'm more relaxed I will do better. Mabye I'll pretend I'm on that stage instead of Link playing that harp. First person perspective sort of thing. YAY MUSIC XD

  • Thank you!

  • This is by far the least enjoyable part of the game so far for me.

  • Messes up once - OMG U SUCK LINK U CAN'T PLAY THE HARP Gets all the way through - OMG UR AMAZING! I LOVE U!!!!!

  • Wow, 45 minutes later, I have the song memorized, a sore thumb, and a hatred for harps. AND I ONLY GOT THE ADEQUATE CLAP. I want Pumm to replace that chandelier just so I can break it again as a nice "fuck you."

  • @darlingeuphoria He does actually. But You cant break it ( found out after 20 minutes of slamming into a wall while pissed)

  • I could play the ocarina like a mo-fo, even playing little songs and changing the pitch; same with the wind waker; I even mastered that stupid pan-flute...

    BUT THIS FUCKING HARP. I CANNOT MAKE MUSIC WITH IT.

  • Whoo I finally did it

  • Is there a version of this song without the harp somewhere?

  • This mini game is a bitch

  • Oh. I get it. To succeed I have to abandon everything I know about making music...

    Hate this mini-game...

  • Damn, I thought you had to make big sweeping strokes that lasted a whole beat each.

  • I love when you fail and the father ( he she it? ) says: "What in the blue sky was that?"

  • Just wish they can make you press buttons instead and not swing your arms like a jackass.

  • this shit is bananas. the harp is inaccurate as fuck. that, or my controller has downs.

  • @Zony66 my controller is the same, I move it to the right and Link plays it right but then it returns slowly to the left... Link seriously WTF

  • @MasterJessav Yeah, how do i fix that. that's probably what's making me fail the song over and over and over. I hate this fucking mini game.

  • What's the best prize? cause I just got the best performance and only got 50 rupees

  • I can see why her old partner quit

  • @BassBOY0GIRL Oh my god LOOOOOL

  • Thank you so much! I don't think I did too bad, given her comment said that she underestimated me!

  • Fucking finally did this, and i'm pretty sure i got the response just barely above failing

  • Why does everybody say this mini game is so hard? It's the easiest 50 rupees in the entire game! :D It's almost like free money! XD

  • If the lumpy pumpkin would only serve some alcohol instead of SOUP, the crowd wouldn't f*cking care about my rythm!

  • THANK YOU. I was able to scrape applause after a few viewings. It helps a lot to be able to listen to the melody over and over on YouTube, without having to fight your own frustration and outrage at your failure and at the bartender in between.

  • I've figured this out... Mostly

    You have to stop on the ends. When u go across they're arms bounce before going again ago u have to stop and the go. IT IS NOT ONE FLUENT MOTION. And also on the solo rock out. Also try to learn where the sped up ones are.

    Hope it helped!!! I got a medium applause. But it worked and I got passed it

    If u give up here's what happens. So the dad is like yay what a pod Jon your all done blah blah blah. Then u have to go to sleep and when u wake up they're is a ne

  • So.. This peace of shit can suck my..... OH, I haven't been this angry in a long time.

  • If there was an actually good/catchy beat this wouldn't be so hard.... but the fast part just seems to just not fit in with it at all. After about 20 times, I still don't know know when to expect it. ._____.

  • *After performing*

    *Audience clap alittle*

    Daughter: To tell the truth, I found your "performance" a little lacking

    In my head: Excuse me, to tell YOU the truth, I found your singing more than just lacking. I did my best .__.

  • @AlphaSeriesOmega thanks that helped me a lot it took me two tries to do it

  • thanks for showing this- i tried like fifty times- twice in front of me dad (embarrising much)

    i actutually played it in tune! (as your example shows this is not the deciding factor- this is a somewhat anti-climatic realisation) npc's will applaud time ques but give them motzart and.....

  • This is by far impossible! I've tried swinging with the crowd, and no success.

  • LA LA LA LA LA? Those lyrics are incorrect...

    TROLOLOLOLOLO is much more accurate..

  • Too bad this part wasn't glitched so you could just play as fast as you can and get it right like in Spirit Tracks (the fire temple).

  • Anyone with ANY musical background probably hates the shit out of this minigame.

  • LA LA LA LA LA... SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FUCK YOUR DAMN PUMPKINS

  • The fast and slow parts are so unpredictable. This damn intrument might make a difference between me rating this game a 9 or a 10, wtf.

  • I always get to the very end but the crowd never likes it. What exactly do you have to do at the end to stick the landing?

  • That farmer and girl are lucky Link can't swing his sword in reidential homes. Otherwise I would've chopped their damn heads off.

  • Kino says: If I could only find someone who was good at plowing...

    Link says: ................

  • @viljamtheninja gigady

  • I've been trying to do this for 3 hours... still nothing... wow...

  • i wish they used a more accurate instrument and made you do something a bit more like ddr

  • looked like one of my attempts. but i havent gotten it yet. i dont like this challenge because there is no clear indication of accuracy or how well youre doing. only if you succeed or not at the end. at least when you learn songs it uses lights to show your progress and accuracy. with this challenge you just keep going until the end and hope you did well enough w/o knowing

  • aw you shoulda gone all guitar solo on the freestyle bit, I was like YEEEAAHH strummin like crazy

  • So that's how it's done. And here I thought you were suppose to play the harp....correctly... You know like a normal person.

    Thanks for the tip.

  • omg 104 times..... all i did was turn the sensor the oppisite way.... OMG!!!!

  • AUGH. Finally did it, thanks to your video.

    Seriously, thank you so much!

  • I'm doing big sweeps I'm doing everything possible but link keeps fucking it up when I'm strumming he tries to go back in to the middle when I havn't moved so I'm getting pretty pissed by now

  • I FINALLY EFFING DID IT. EFF THAT GUY EFF HIS DAUGHTER AND EFF HIS CHANDELIER

  • I DID IT!!! K here's the secret I found out. This game autorecallibrates your remote's position when you point it at the screen. It can sense that the IR is pointed at the screen and it automatically recenters your remote. This is a huge pain while doing the harp because it will make you strum to the middle if you even point at the screen ONCE.

    The trick is to find a way to strum WITHOUT EVER POINTING THE REMOTE AT THE SCREEN! It WILL work

  • @SpaceOctopus2010 great tip. after reading that i turned the sensor bar around and beat it right away

  • ok has anyone else beat this like how i did. They said I played ok for the first time but my performance is still lacking. but i still got the heart piece???

  • @narutouzumakijoshua As long as the patrons are clapping, you'll get the Piece.

  • @Slain087 oh ok thanks

  • @narutouzumakijoshua

    Same. I messed up a few times and the time I got it was pretty bad. The key is big sweeps.

  • Is all the father gives you money if you do it extremely well?

  • @Nenie Heart Piece mah dewde.

  • Anyone know where i can get the music without the harp playing?

  • no matter how hard I try, it will not track the wii remote as fast as it does in this video

  • @SpaceOctopus2010 It mostly just sounds like you're bad at this and way too upset by that.

  • @ShiningSpear I'm bad at this but not with out dedication to change. I was willing to admit the first 20 times I failed (not an exaggeration, in fact it may have been more) that I was doing it wrong and that I needed to fix how I was doing it. But I've tried almost every suggestion multiple times and I've had several other people try and it just won't work. All the other games and mechanics in this game work fine, this, this is a broken feature of the game.

  • @SpaceOctopus2010 Hmmm... maybe it's just your copy of the game, or something with your sensor bar? I managed to get it on my second try. But I agree, the harp controls are a bit weird. Sorry for being snarky.

  • who in their right mind decided to keep this in the game after it was so faulty?? everything else in this game is a masterpiece, but this mini-game, and the harp, qualify this game as broken.

  • Oh dear lord this part was a pain D:

  • So. fucking. Easy. Finally got it done. Thanks for the video.

  • god, I so hate this fucking minigame... every time I strum the harp, links hand goes back a few notes as if I was still moving my hand. The whole wii-mote controls in this game are so messed up anyway. I always need to center my cursor a dozen of times during my playthroughs.

  • Okay people heres what your gonna do, you're goin' to start the minigame with your TV in mute, and ready this video on 00:06 when the characters on your TV prepare to wave they're hands you hit play in the video and start to play, but don't look at your TV look at this video and follow the video, forget about your TV, your gonna nail it on one shot.

  • @AlphaSeriesOmega nope. does not work.

  • FUCK THIS MINIGAME AND FUCK THE HARP IN THIS GAME GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

  • I finally gave in.... I took one for team Link..... Yes, after endless attempts, and a broken wii remote, also a lose connector that fits from the Motion Plus into the Wii, all it took....was doing what my pride refused to let me.

    I stood up. I swung my arm back and forth like a moron, and I preyed nobody could see me through my window. After 2 weeks, I came back, tried it one last time, and I did it first try.

    At the cost of my pride.

  • So fucking annoying. This game would be less than 20 hours if you didn't have to read so much useless dialogue. I hope Nintendo gets this shit right in the next one and allows you to skip scenes and actually has character voices rather than retarded grunts and noises.

  • @jsorrenti88 I like the grunts and stuff, I just want to skip their crap. The odd sound effects instead of voices gives Zelda games character and charm.

  • @jsorrenti88 And then they would lose the business of me and everybody I know.

    Seriously, no voices are necessary. It's what makes the game (seriously).

  • Comment removed

  • when i play, even though my hand is swings nice and steady form left to right, link will still play notes in between. as if my hand is moving, when it is not. please someone tell me what to do, i really need help...

  • I already got the heart...I just can't stand them calling my performance lacking

    I WILL make those pumpkin drunk fuckers clap goddammit

  • where can I get the lyrics?!

  • Holy shit I come to this video because I'm pissed and have no idea what I'm doing wrong and I see @colbycheeze is pissed at it also. God damn, Zelda knows how to piss off internet celebs also!

  • YES i was bashing my wii remote to the floor

  • Not gonna lie, I think this music should be in the new smash bros!

  • i finly past it not she sed it was ok i was lacking but i passed it thank god

  • Another tip I can give is to watch the shoulders instead of the hands.. That helped a lot for me too.

  • Sorry, I'll be more clear, i don't me dip, but the pause after the dip. , that's when you start moving.

  • Here's an excellent tip that i use to get the 50 rupees each time. The younger guy on the right will dip his hands down before swaying. After he dips his hands THAT's when you start strumming. As Slain says, you must not anticipate, but react.

  • @formula90II T-they are clapping. Slowly, yeah, but THEY ARE CLAPPING *cries*

    Thankyou so very much ,this helped me a lot!

  • I had to look it up to make sure it was even possible to do. Raging. They should freaking show us where we were wrong when it's been fucking 10 times we are redoing this stupid song. Because I couldn't get at all what exactly I was doing wrong. To put such a crappy instrument into the game (as in even when you "play" songs, you don't really. And when you "learn" one, you don't really either), they should at least not makes us suffer with it for the sake of a minigame. SO much rage.

  • What is the harp's motion even fucking tied to on the controls? Does anyone know?? Is it tilt? Is it the optical pointer? Is it the accelerometer??? Because it seems to me like it just decides to be tied to any one of those randomly! ARGH

  • Did it the first try after watching this, thanks. I was trying to do more gradual swings like how you normally play and it doesn't work.

  • I don't understand...I've only gotten perfect once by dumb luck and above average twice by trying for 2 hours. I can guarantee that there is a way to do this that we're all missing. The thing is nobody obviously either knows how, or how to explain it...-_-

  • is it possible to break the new chandelier?

  • @countbleck35 No, it's way too massive.

  • @Slain087 damn it lol that was the first thing i tried doing after he fixed it, thought there was a trick to it or something.

  • @countbleck35

    Why would you want to? Then Pumm would make you pay for the new one too! Heh.

  • @TurquoiseStar17 to make him rage lol

  • @countbleck35 go upstairs and roll into the supporting wall a few times- they basically tell you NOT to do it!- i thought that was how i got to play the duet in the first place (after doing other tasks to pay for the damage) but if slain087 hasn't then i guess i just needed the harp...

  • Im gonna stab somebody if I dont beat this soon.

  • Can you show us how you strummed with the wii remote?

  • @xphacter It's going to take a hell of a lot of manipulation of my recording software, but I think it can be done. I'll get on it within the week.

  • @Slain087

    Thanks if you do make it, every time I would get to one side of the harp it acts like it is the center of the screen and goes haywire.

  • i wish i could find the mp3 of this version of the song. but theres no official version :\

  • I feel like all the time I was getting it perfectly but it just wasn't working. I figured my problem was that I was trying to predict their movements. I asked my sister who has never touched a wii more and she got adequate on her first try and then perfect. It sounded like she messed up a lot so I was genuinely shocked especially because I messed up 200+ times and got nothing beyond terrible. There's your solution people. Ask someone who has never played this game before.

  • It's funny. Ive tried this 200+ times and had to listen the dialogue and this is so annoying. I could never get anything above terrible. My sister wanted to try and she has never touched a wii mote. she got adequate her first try and perfect her second. I dont understand this

  • If this minigame made you want to throw your controller through your screen, thumbs up!

  • @OopeeShaba Yes, all my hate XD

  • @OopeeShaba I've bitten my wii remote sleve

  • @OopeeShaba glad im not the only one

  • @OopeeShaba I almost broke my wrist punching my door because I was so pissed at how fucking dumb this was.

  • @colbycheeze hahahaha dude I know exactly whatchu mean!!

  • I hate this minigame, I've done it like 15 times and only got it once where the shopkeeper said it was okay, and then again where he said it was good but not perfect, I was so pissed I drew a picture of myself slashing him with the master sword and uploaded it to ImageShack.

  • @OopeeShaba hahaha i did xDDD

  • Thank you! I kept getting a so-so performance

  • I stand by my belief in that this isn't Actually possible to accomplish. Those who've actually done it have been aided by the Goddess herself. I calibrate my wiimote over and over and over, but it just seems to do whatever the hell it wants. This is honestly one of the stupidest parts of any Zelda game. I'm usually a perfectionist, but fuck this. I'm out.

  • Hrm, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and so I refused to give up until I managed to get the best result. After so many failures I resorted to this, and-somehow, on my first attempt-managed to get the video playing nearly in sync with the game. Somehow managed to get the best result by ignoring my television screen and following the video hand movements.

  • This took two tries. I only did it for the Piece of Heart.

  • Catchy tune, that old man is goofy.

  • Thanks for this. I think the key here is to simply mute your tv and then follow the hand movements. The music tends to be a little distracting.

  • thank you very much

  • Wow, finally got this shit. So annoying. The worst part isn't failing, it's having to talk to the father and listen to them talk EVERY TIME before you begin again. Hasn't Nintendo heard of the skip feature?

  • @Malumbrus Well yea but failure isn't meant to be a pleasant experience, you dont think they purposefully annoy you?

    Not all art is supposed to make you sit there in blissful enjoyment, sometimes its gonna piss you off...job well accomplished here

  • @Malumbrus You know what's even worse? Having to read the details of any old material/insect like it was your first time grabbing it everytime you play after loading your game.

  • @Malumbrus yeah, but they only applied it to cut scenes

  • It is absolutely retarded that they make you do things like this. And the pumpkin carrying challenge. Why in god's name would you be forced to carry 5 pumpkins at a time, especially after you drop 10 or 15 the first few tries? I know it's supposed to be fun mini-games, but it makes no sense.

  • With behavior like that, I can only conjecture that you're somehow twisting your hand so that the Wii Remote is upside-down or really close to it at those points. The only time I've seen it exhibit that behavior is during the roller-coaster minigame, and even then, it's because I'm turning way too hard, so that the controller is upside-down.

  • I agree with "SuperHushPuppy"....I swing it back and forth and Link is sometimes on the left side of the harp even though my hand is all the way to the right. If I leave it at the right for a split second, Link's hand is in the middle of the harp already playing. The controls really suck for this game.
