First thing's first, if you're confused about the "(5/5)", it's because october's videos didn't go through due to an issue on my end. As a result, I'm only charging for one video in november as the october ones go through. Didn't feel right charging for 2 full months in one go :'D

As for the cover, this is (big surprise) one of my favorites that I've done. I took a bit of influence from the *original* Hyrule Warriors soundtrack and tried to convert this theme into something of that style. But then I just took it my own way and transformed it even more. I hope you enjoyed!

Guardian Battle (METAL) | Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

-Support me on Patreon- ► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ The Guardian Battle Theme is one of the best adrenaline rush-type songs I've heard in video games. After 4 years, people are a lot more experience and uh...fearless when it comes to defeating the guardians (seriously, have you seen some of those stylish deaths people are pulling off) but that theme still manages to give the whole event a hint of panic and anxiety. I've wanted to cover the Guardian Battle theme for years now. 1. because it's an amazing song and 2. because I wanted to learn how it was put together. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity gave me the chance to revisit the theme and fuse both of the arrangements together into the cover you see here. I can't say I learned anything from a...language(?) standpoint, but I feel like I have a better feel for putting something chaotic like this together one day. Maybe I'll compose an original in a similar style. OH also random fun fact, but the harmony in the six repeating notes are different in the two games. In Breath of the Wild, it's pretty much the same thing repeated but in Age of Calamity, the lower harmony is constantly changing (in a kind of chromatic pattern). Really goes to show how far they went with making the song both chaotic and coherent at the same time. A truly amazing song from my favorite game of all time. And now Age of Calamity drops today. I'm gonna go play that now. Enjoy my Metal Cover of "Guardian Battle" from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ -Want to commission me for music/soundtracks?

I have my quibbles with the BotW OST, but this song is very much NOT one of the ones I would disagree with. Excellent take on a really good piece! It's identifiably yours and still faithful to the original.
