Rock Out With This One Man Band Cover of Breath of the Wild’s “Main Theme”
Posted on October 24 2020 by Mike Midwood
As Link emerges from the Shrine of Resurrection, Breath of the Wild delivers what has become one of the Zelda series’ most iconic moments. The landscape of Hyrule’s largest iteration yet is put on display as bold yet mysterious piano strokes set the tone. A new adventure of unprecedented magnitude is about to begin.
Give this rock-style cover of Breath of the Wild’s “Main Theme” a listen and that sense of adventure is sure to awaken again. Chinese musician WK from NOS performs an excellent rendition of the now-classic track. As a one man band, the talented multi-instrumentalist plays every part of the arrangement himself. Acoustic guitar sets the stage with a quiet take on the primary melody. Before long thumping bass, drums, and rhythm guitar sections tear into the meat of this piece, and dueling guitars bring it home to the abrupt silence that completes the epic tune.
You can check out other work by WK from NOS here. You’ll find more covers of recognizable theme songs, including those from nostalgic anime like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon.
