I could gush about Breath of the Wild for a very long time... so I'm just going to keep it short and simple! I love the game, and I love its choices with regard to music. When it first came out, people were berating it for its lack of an epic soundtrack... but it just doesn't need one! I wouldn't want the game any other way. Additionally, the lack of music makes the few musical tracks in the game such as this one just that much more special!

This arrangement was an interesting one to put together! Gotta be honest, I'm not 100% personally satisfied with how this came out, but I am very happy at how well I made this concept work despite the difficult arranging and mixing challenges presented here!

I really wanted to incorporate an instrument that used tremolo to perform sustained notes in this arrangement, since the original uses a hammered dulcimer! I thought mandolin would be a great choice for this, especially since I've been wanting to feature my friend Alex Heflin on the channel for quite some time now! Additionally, I wanted to incorporate some elements from Snarky Puppy's release "Sylva" (definitely not the first time that the pups are influencing one of my arrangements...) such as a really pronounced and heavy drumbeat as well as the synth bass! Those two things proved to be an enormous challenge in the mixing stage for me. It was difficult to balance the soft sections of the track with the really loud and heavy drum & bass grooves, but I think I came up with a decent compromise!
