I lived in an attic when I wrote this Zelda-inspired song

Tales of a starving guitarist: Living in a renovated attic during the most chaotic time of my life helped inspire me to write this song. This video shows the transformation of a simple acoustic song idea into a full-fledged original rock song. To get my mind off of things, I played the game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD on the Nintendo Wii U. One of the levels, Gerudo Desert, inspired me to write this acoustic guitar-based song called Gerudo Village which ended up on my 2021 album Vandarth: The Way Through. The tune also incorporates percussion inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past on Super Nintendo. Watch the video to see my creative process and my songwriting techniques.
