“Palace” Video, from Zelda: Adventure of Link

The famous “Palace” music from Zelda II, a quick gift for a good friend. It’s a simple arrangement that only took about 15 minutes to come up with, but it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a video, so why not?


Despite my silence on YouTube, I’ve been working on a number of videogame arrangements – the ideas on my to-do list have just been taking some time to write and practice. In fact, I met up with the multi-talented Alex Culang yesterday (one of the artists behind the Buttersafe webcomic, and a multi-talented musician) to jam on our Dragon Roost Island arrangement. I’m also working on a monstrous Melty Molten Galaxy duet with Zach Sershon (zachpiano on YouTube). So, keep your eyes and ears open!

  2. Bookmarked. I'll have to watch this later. Right now I'm just swamped with assignments.

    How would you like to write me a theme song? I totally feel like having a song heralding my arrival to class.

  3. I was poking around the piano a few days ago trying to copy this song... weird that you posted it right after. >.>
    ... But it's great! I love it. 50x better than my little poke around. :) And Zach is great too! :O Give him my compliments on his "SSBM piano" in person if you can.

  4. Oh, yay, I want to see those projects soon! Specially the Dragon Rost Island one, sounds great.

    About the Zelda II music, i like it a lot, but...

    In my opinion it's a little rushed at the begining. It's sure was arranged this way when Kondo composed it for Zelda II, but I think it had potential for something softer, more piano, at least the first part.

    Anyway, the explosion on 1:00 was just fantastic, I wasn't expecting it to be that way xD

    Go on, you're great!

  5. @Nat - Thanks!

    @Savin - Hehe, that would definitely annoy a few people if you're the kind of person who comes to class late...

    @John - That's neat, that we were both working on this theme at the same time! I'm actually coordinating with Zach over the internet so it'll be a split-screen video, if we get around to finishing. :) His SSBM opening is so good!

    @Knoll - I do agree, this song has a lot of potential for a more interesting piano arrangement. I stuck pretty closely to the versions I've heard (SSBM, mostly) since I wanted to record it quickly for the sake of posting another video.
