Hello fellow music lovers and welcome back to another entry of our (forever belated) Wednesday Weekly Feature: The Weekly Music Spotlight! Every week, we showcase a YouTube artist or two who takes tunes from The Legend of Zelda and makes them their own, whether it be through arrangements, covers, or any other kind of altered take on the source material.  Last week, we took a listen to an artist who goes the extra mile to create fun covers without the use of a single instrument.  This week, we turn in the opposite direction…

With the recent release of Majora’s Mask 3D, Patti Rudistill on YouTube has uploaded an incredible cover of “Clock Town” from Majora’s Mask. This exceptional arrangement features violin, flute, oboe, and ocarina to complete the memorable tune. Hit the jump to take a look!

In light of the newly-released Majora’s Mask 3D, YouTube music cover artist SadToyCats has uploaded another Zelda arrangement, this time covering “Termina Field.” This unique rendition of the main overworld theme features guitar, piano, and quirky percussion instruments.

In the last two weeks famous acapella singer and YouTube personality Smooth McGroove has done three covers of Majora’s Mask songs. McGroove is no stranger to Zelda acapella covers; twenty six of his covers are Zelda related, a dozen of those covers have one million views, and his Palace Theme cover is well on its way to joining those ranks. Additionally, McGroove has covered many Majora’s Mask songs in the past, including the Song of Healing, Stone Tower Temple, Astral…

Covers of Majora’s Mask music are not hard to come by lately, but few go as far as to effectively place you into the world of Termina. In a new cinematic arrangement of the game’s chilling Oath to Order, composer Rozen plants listeners into Majora’s Mask‘s final hours. This cover, titled “Termina’s Demise,” is both emotional and beautiful, as one can imagine the feelings of Clock Town‘s citizens as the Clock Tower ticks down to zero…

Zelda fans are always finding fun and creative ways to express their love for the franchise. I don’t know about everyone else but, because the musical themes are what originally drew me into the series, I love finding fan-made covers inspired by the music in Zelda. It’s fun to see another fans interpretation of the melodies played throughout the games, and using their talents to put a little bit of themselves into the music. Here we have- as he goes by…

“Milk Bar” from Majora’s Mask is one of the most catchiest songs from the series, and a YouTube artist by the name of SadToyCats recently released an excellent cover of the song. He features guitar, piano, tambourine, and a rhythmic clapping to complete his catchy tune. Hit the jump to take a listen!

Popular YouTube artist Smooth Mcgroove has done it again!—This time around he covers the Palace Theme from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Smooth Mcgroove has released a wide variety of video game covers, with a large majority of them being Nintendo related. This rendition is certainly nothing short from his other unbelievable covers available on his YouTube channel. Hit the jump to take a look!

He’s alive, folks! I thought I’d never see the day…

YouTuber Sp0ntanius has covered many songs from The Legend of Zelda on a variety of knick-knacks and household objects. From the Song of Healing on wine glasses, to Ballad of the Wind Fish on toys, to my personal favorite of Saria’s Song on beer bottles, Sp0ntanius was a unique artist that garnered quite a fanbase. Was. Until he seemingly fell off the face of the planet and stopped making videos.

But now, two years later, Sp0ntanius has returned with a cover of Ballad of the Goddess on rubber bands. It’s a ton of fun to watch, with some clever camera work as well.

Check out the video after the jump!

YouTube user Sp0ntanius has recently released another Zelda cover video, this time of Ballad of the Goddess from Skyward Sword. Sp0ntanius is known for covering Zelda songs through some strange mean. From Saria’s Song of beer bottles all with sped up footage to the original Game Over theme with scissors, using stop motion the has produced many eccentric covers. His newest piece, done with rubber bands, lives up to his previous videos. So hit the jump to check it out!
