Legend of Zelda 'Midna's Lament' Piano Cover

[Pl511]

Recently I've gotten a bit more into the music of the Zelda games and over on the Capcom forums - for whatever reason - someone requested that I made a version of 'Midna's Lament' from SSBB. This is essentially the same song as 'Midna's Desperation Hour' from Twilight Princess. I'm also taking requests for videogame music from any other game out there as long as you provide me with a decent link to it!

Midna's Lament - Piano Cover

I also made a cover of 'Don't Want You No More' (a.k.a. The TP trailer theme and 'Orchestral Piece #1').

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it!

That's a beautiful cover, and I'm glad you added the delay. The ending was unprecedented yet very fitting. Midna's Lament always recalls trickling water, spiraling staircases; a ghostly memory of a world once loved. I'd be curious to see you revisit the effects, do something about the dips at 0:36 and 0:47. It's a slip—which can work—but not gripping enough. I appreciate when covers deviate from the source material enough to establish their own resonance. While I enjoyed this very much, I wouldn't say it's all that memorable because it bolsters very minute differentiation from the original.

Regardless, this theme is one of the best pieces of music from the series, tied up there with Song of Healing. I'm very pleased that you decided to share this with us

If I could request a theme from any game...

Blue Fields — Final Fantasy VIII:
Original
Orchestrated
Piano

Or you could indulge me by attempting a piano cover of the Spirit Temple theme! (I think it could be worthwhile)

I love this, very nice work. I also agree (or disagree with you rather?) about the delay feedback level, I think the spacey feeling it creates works perfectly for this piece

Thanks for the feedback!

This is pretty awesome. I think it's my favorite LoZ song of all time, and your cover is pretty awesome.

Oooh, I absolutely loved it. You're the same one who did the Dire Dire Docks cover as well. Like how you added a small twist to it towards the ending as well. Good job.
