I really wanted to do this one justice. Also progressive post-metal fusion is your new favorite genre.

http://www.richaadeb.com/merch/Twilight princess is far from my favorite Zelda game, but this piece still resonates with me after all these years since playing it for the first and last time. It's so simple but works so well and is just perfect for this part of the game. It's usually the simple pieces that end up sticking with me I think, and it's ALWAYS the simple pieces that let me get super creative with a cover arrangement idea. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this may be the most creative I've gotten with a cover since Corridors of Time or Easton Kingdom.
After I laid down the clean parts in the middle with that nifty little tremolo effect, I was about to start doing my usual "look I can do blues/jazz stuff too" dance when an idea occurred to me: this would probably be incredible with a sax here. Luckily for me, I'm friends with the immensely talented insaneintherainmusic who not only laid down a spectacular lead for the clean part, but even had an idea for the post-metal trem picking part after it. He even put up with me asking questions about trying to mix sax with metal like an idiot. Seriously, go check out his channel if you like incredibly well-done sax-oriented jazz type stuff.

Special thanks to MaximumHamburgers for feedback and pointing me in the right direction since I have no fuckin idea what I'm doing. Go check out his channels as well; he's got a solo channel as well as his band channel (Tetrimino VG Band):
