Check Out This Synthwave Fan Remix of “Ballad of the Goddess”
Posted on November 28 2021 by Alexandria Weber
As one of the main songs in Skyward Sword, “Ballad of the Goddess” is one of the more important melodies of the 2011 title. Not only is it the song Zelda sings when we are first introduced to her, but it also carries a later importance in the story. Additionally, it is a surprisingly good tune for being the same notes as “Zelda’s Lullaby,” yet backwards. Most songs reversed would result in a chaotic dissent of notes, yet “Ballad of the Goddess” soars, the song being a soothing melody that even translates when fully orchestrated on an epic scale, as seen in the credits sequence of Skyward Sword.
Like most Zelda songs, the tune also has the uncanny ability to be translated into different genres while still maintaining the original sense of wonderment and adventure. Musician Ryanimal has collaborated with French artist Mattip Music to create a synthwave remix cover of “Ballad of the Goddess”. Created in FL Studio and finished in under a week, the collaboration often required the use of Google Translate, and yet the finished product of the passion project proves both the Zelda series and music as a whole to be universal, lacking barriers and bringing people together.
After you’ve explored Ryanimal’s work on Spotify and YouTube, be sure to give them a follow on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Mattip Music also has work on Spotify and YouTube, and is on Instagram and Twitter!
