The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Zora's Domain Remix

Thank you for watching! Zora's Domain is a beloved theme that's made an appearance in a few Zelda games, and its Breath of the Wild (and later Tears of the Kingdom) iteration is extra-special, I feel. I wouldn't have thought to select this for a December remix, but after seeing it on a "Winter Nintendo music" playlist and hearing all those chilly percussive elements, it became quite clear just how well the BotW/TotK version fits the theme! ❄️

One of the things that I really love about the series' newest take on this theme is how rich the arrangement is, with its beautiful guitar countermelodies, those gorgeous piano triplets, and some superbly-executed key changes. In this remix, I really wanted to push the arrangement aspect even further and incorporate references to Mipha's and Sidon's themes throughout the remix. There are also three short references to iconic themes from the series, so keep an ear out for those, as well (noted and timestamped below, if you're interested)! But above all, I hope you'll find this remix to be heartwarming and soothing. 💙

I'd also like to use this opportunity to shout out my fellow musician and VGM enthusiast, @MidiMusic ! A multi-talented artist, MidiMusic creates exceptional remixes of both mainstream and video game tracks, set to some seriously creative and engaging visuals. He has a uniquely captivating style that blends premium synthesized sounds with professional-quality acoustic instruments, and the variety of series he's covered is truly astounding. You've likely seen MidiMusic in the comments sections of many videos on this channel (or even your own videos!) as he has a very robust and positive presence in the community... but if not, I hope this can be your encouragement to meet the guy and take an interest in what he creates!

As in every video, I want to express my most heartfelt appreciation to my lovely wife and artist partner, Kali Lyon, for her work on the visuals. This time, Kali not only created a mélange of breathtaking character and background designs, she also put together the vast majority of the video, with an array of charming animations and effects. It's been a real joy to work alongside her, and we have lots of exciting ideas planned for next year's remix videos! We hope you'll look forward to those, and in the meantime, please be sure to check out more of Kali's work on Instagram! 📸
