Listen To This Beautiful Violin Cover of “Fi’s Theme” from Skyward Sword
Posted on August 02 2021 by Sean Gadus
Fi is one of the more divisive characters in the Zelda series. I love the character’s design, which references the Fairy Queen from The Wind Waker. Additionally, Fi’s look includes elements of the Master Sword and its distinct color palette. Despite her great design, some players’ connection to Fi is undermined by her role in gameplay. Fi is constantly popping up to give the player mundane or obvious information, which can get on the players’ nerves and slow down the pace of the game. This is disappointing because Fi’s story arc has an extremely moving ending.
Beyond her great design, Fi also has one of the absolute best musical themes in the Skyward Sword soundtrack. This violin cover of “Fi’s Theme” by String Player Gamer perfectly channels the grace and mystery of the sword spirt. This arrangement utilizes a violin, chorus, and various stringed instruments to create a rich sound. The arrangement has a haunting chorus that helps give the song a spiritual or religious feel, which is befitting the messenger of the Goddess Hylia.
If you enjoyed this remix, String Player Gamer has an assortment of Zelda and Nintendo arrangements on their channel. String Player Gamer’s “Legend of Zelda Ultimate Medley” is my favorite project of theirs. The medley has an incredible 30 minute runtime that covers a variety of Zelda songs! I recommend that every Zelda fan listens to the medley if they haven not already.
