Hi, this Zelda track is based upon 'Song of Time' by composer Koji Kondo, well known from his music for The Legend of Zelda. The Song of Time ocarina melody was given to me by Ryan Leach (in the context of an upcoming release on his channel) with the challenge for me to build a new track around it, totally carte blanche. The ocarina though still has a place in my version, if you listen carefully. In Zelda I'm starting soft and kinda small, like a young Zelda, building up to an epic, stronger and heroic Zelda.
My Song of Time rework has become a hybrid orchestral piece. Using BBCSO Core for full strings and some brass, and using Hammers for some lower orchestral percussion. This is all backed up by a lot of different kind soft synths, mainly out of Albion One and Kepler orchestra.

I compiled and edited the video material in Hitfilm and DaVinci Resolve.
Be well,
