'Time of the Goddess' from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Recorder/Flute

Facebook fan-page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Daigoro789/330163270336943

This is the theme 'Time of the Goddess' from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword played on the descant recorder, sometimes referred to more simply as a 'flute' - music for the game was composed by Hajime Wakai, Shibo Fujii, Mahito Yokota, Takeshi Hama and of course, the legendary Koji Kondo.

I recently got this game but have not yet had a chance to play it though. I'm a huge Zelda fanboy, so everytime a new Zelda comes out, its such a BIG thing for me that I like to take my time with the game, and play it at a nice relaxed pace - so I can't wait to get stuck into this one when the time is right :))) I've already heard some of the music from the game, and it sounds as though most of the tracks will be instant classics - like this one :) I thought that I would give it a try on the recorder, as its a fairly simple song - now my second recorder upload - lol :)

Personally, I think that the tone of my other recorder, the black one used in the Zorsy collab vid is much nicer, (this one sometimes sounds a bit flat?) but I wanted to play with this white one for the video as I thought that it was more 'Zelda'ish' :P

More Skyward Sword music to come very shortly - this time played on the piano: *thank goodness* the crowd sighs ^_____^

On a different note, for those of you who like to read, I've written a novel - a work of absurdist fiction which falls somewhere in between Alice in Wonderland and Kafka - which can now be found on Amazon Kindle. Here is a link to the US store. The book is also available in other territories too, like the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy etc. Check it out!

I'm playing through the game right now and I tend to agree with critics: it may well be the best 3D Zelda to date! I wish the Wii was a bit more capable graphics-wise, though. You quickly get used to it but the aliasing and depth-related artifacts are pretty horrible. Anyways, I look forward to hearing your piano interpretations, not that this was bad or anything :P

@3llianX hey hey - ahhhh, interesting - i've not heard anyone mention any niggles with the controls or aliasing etc - as i've pretty much only heard nothing but positive stuff about it! best ever 3D zelda...so better than Ocarina of Time?? (which was a life defining game for me i think!?) man, so looking forward to playing it...i need me a magical ocarina of time to enable me to squeeze in a few hours of it here and there though :/ wishing you the very best! :))))

Yes, I agree. The white recorder seems more "Zelda-ish." Also, whether you play Zelda music on your recorder or piano, I'm sure we'll still enjoy it ^^

With that said, I love Skyward Sword :D This piece too!!

[daigoro789]

@JezzAngel hey hey - thanks for the kind words - man, my recorder playing...haha, i love it even though i know that i'm terrible - but am glad that you guys don't seem to mind my posting :P ooo, so you're playing/have played skyward sword too? how's it going for you? i'm still yet to start. all the best ^_____^

@daigoro789 Loooool, you sound exactly like me when it comes to Chrono Cross! Sure, I'll start Ocarina of Time as soon as I can! Thanks for the recommendation!

[daigoro789]

@avitron142 lol - goodness! NO WAY that my recorder is better than your piano - that's just crazy talk! lol, tbh, i haven't yet played KH (i guess that's why i haven't uploaded any KH music yet) so i'd start with the zelda's and def OoT over Majora! many fans prefer majora to OoT, but in terms of an 'introductory' zelda game - to acclimatise you to the universe etc then OoT can't be beaten - playing that game was a life-changing experience for me, as cheesy as it sounds! PLAY IT ^_____^

[avitron142]

@daigoro789 Thanx! You know, you're better on flute than I am on piano, so don't feel so bad. I have to admit, I have Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask, but don't really have time to play it. Do you think I should play those, or Kingdom Hearts first?

@daigoro789

Terrible?! You must be out of your mind! Haha, excuse me for saying so.

I'm terrible. I haven't touched a recorder since grade school but watching this makes me want to ^^

Right now I'm at Lake Floria. I feel like I'm taking forever to finish it but it's hard to find time to play sometimes. All the best to you too! Hope you're able to start soon!

@avitron142 hey hey - loooo - yeah, you're not wrong, i do def try to cram in as much as i can in a day, but for sure, i think like alot of other people, i sure wish that there were more hours in the day to do even more stuff!!! like practise my very amateur recorder playing :/ you've been v.busy yourself lately too - i've been loving your vids man :)))

[avitron142]
