“This is a tale that has been passed down through uncounted generations...”

Take flight into the legend that started it all! This arrangement draws inspiration from Skyward Sword’s original soundtrack as well as the Zelda 25th Anniversary special orchestra version, and features lyrics written in the ancient Hylian language. The melody is well known as “Zelda’s Lullaby” played backwards—and what’s the opposite of a lullaby? An awakening!
