Here's a set of extended variations on Fi's Theme based on your final encounter with her in the game. I wrote it as a track that would play as Fi remembers her adventure as she waits silently in the Master Sword for the next chosen hero.

0:00 Original (altered)
0:40 Low Drone Variation
1:27 Battle Variations
2:08 Choral/Ending

=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====
This arrangement was originally going to be a quick one but throughout the process of arranging, it ballooned into this. So the arranging process took much longer than usual due to me not making up my mind with what direction I wanted the arrangement to go. Lots of trial, error and scrapped ideas.

I'm not sure I'm 100% satisfied with the result. I feel as though the arrangement is still missing something...

Performers beware. The middle ‘Battle’ variations are pretty tricky; especially because there are times when the hand 'de-sync' with each other's beat structure. Also, much attention is needed to the dynamics, pedal and voicing in this little set of variations.

Your Pianist,

Erik C.

P.S. A huge contributing factor to the lateness of this arrangement was my treble 'E'. It's still sticking, even after getting it looked at. It's just unreliable (works 70%) and sluggish, even when it doesn't stick. This made recording this track an absolute nightmare. So many scrapped takes/recordings... Also the new keyboard I ordered back in April still hasn’t arrived. I’ll be elated when that gets here.

P.P.S. I also changed my process for this arrangement. I wrote the sheets as I arranged the piece so sheets will be out soon. I did this because I needed to visually see how the hands lined up in battle variation to practice/arrange it.

P.P.P.S I so bad at writing/complying sheets. Sry 😣 They'll get done at somepoint!
