And YES this has been transposed into a different key to make it easier to play so if you try to play along with the game it would sound completely wrong. Play it alone and you'll see it's pretty fun to play.

@Dreadlock 17 years ago

It still sounds awesome, I love it.

@Takoon 17 years ago

You're totally my hero. ^ ^

@cloud j weir 17 years ago

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet you rock you rock you rock were not worthy

@Tossidin 16 years ago

This is amazing,I've mastered a few of your songs and I'm working on a few of your tabs at the moment but I'm putting off all my projects at to learn this song and 'the legenday hero' tab.

They both are so beautiful, they are amazing.

Thank you for all the great work, you have been keeping me busy for the last 3-4 months

@Ganderflip 16 years ago

Glad to know someone loves the zelda music as much as I do.

@METALLICA 16 years ago

cool!!;)

@Bamshu 16 years ago

Note: All you have to do is tune every string down half a step, and bingo, you're in the right key and you can play along. Thanks very much for the tabs, they're perfect.

@Lucariomaster1111 16 years ago

Great tab and all but the quick strum motion thing? i strum with my thumb so this is sorta hard brain explodes Any tips kabuki? this is my first year guitar and im sorta learning so i sorta suck

@fartinyoface 16 years ago

hard but fun.

@poog 15 years ago

Awesome job! I'm new to guitar and I am really enjoying learning this song.

@WolfTeenZylo 14 years ago

I started playing guitar in January of 2009. When I first "played" this, it was completely horrible because I sucked so badly at guitar playing, I even recorded it. A couple days ago, I decided to revisit the song after watching said video. Kabukibear, this arrangement is amazing, and I hope you keep doing what you're doing!

@SirLancelot 12 years ago

awesome

link may not be the best conversationalist, but at least he's got some epic soundtracks to back him up.
