An absurdly epic theme for an absurdly epic castle. 8-bit usually doesn't fit well with orchestra music, but I think this one came out pretty nicely. Enjoy!!

-I use MidiTrail to make the video. It is a program that gives you a cool 3D view by loading a piano midi.

-I use FL Studio with a plugin called NES VST, made by Matt Montag! You can check out his site here, you can even donate: www.mattmontag.com/projects-page/nintendo-vst

-You can use my songs in your videos, as long as you put a link to my channel in the description. Also letting me know would be nice :)

-This song is true 8-bit, and is faithful to the limits of the NES (except for maybe the audio quality.)

-I don't really do request. Feel free to give suggestions in the comments though, you never know.

-Critisism is appreciated. but keep in mind that the NES can only play a certain amount of notes at a time,
so that's why almost no song can be recreated perfectly.

-Enjoy!!

    I always go to Hyrule Castle just to listen to this amazing ass song.
  • @ehhh9426
    I think this one came out so nicely because most of the Leitmotifs used in the original theme originated as 8-bit music in older Zelda games.

    This 3D animation piano thing is midly entertaining

    You can really hear Ballad of the Windfish in this version.

    Hearing this song in 8bit form really highlights how close it is to the Ballad of the Wind Fish

    I love how you use a maximum of 3 voices at once (plus the noise/PCM channel). Very authentic. Great work!

    Definitely my favorite track from the game. Most of the music in this game is for ambiance, and it really surprised me to hear such epic music out of nowhere the moment I got near the castle (I actually didn't expect it to be a dungeon, at least not the outside of it). If anything, this track gives me Hideout Helm vibes, which is about as great as it can get.

    The Link's Awakening nostalgia is so real.

    Wow, right in the childhood. Thank you, those onions needed dicing. Seriously though, this not only captures the music of the NES-era perfectly, but being the new Hyrule Castle music, embodies the feeling of all the hard work and effort put into getting to the 8th dungeon in Zelda and Thunderbird's Castle in Zelda 2(a much harder feat). This is perfection.

    Just some thoughts from someone who's been watching your vids for a while. I really liked the 8bit art you used to use, seems waste to have them just on the thumbnail. I also know you like this display thing. Just wondering if theres any way to combine these visuals with the thumbnail art? I think using the same display for each vid makes them a little less distinct.

    Just found this video. This, unlike many other 8-bit remixes, actually seems possible to replicate on an NES without the Castlevania 3 or Sunsoft chips. Well done.
  • @Turtle_Shell
    Okay, now I really want a fan made 8-bit version of breath of the wild!
  • @luckysqueaks984
    Wait... Why do you have just so few Subs? You should have a way more! Your work is just awesome! :)
