With the release of Twilight Princess HD, many of us will once again embark on a journey into a version of Hyrule that is shrouded in darkness. And what better way to do that than with the help of the Princess of the Twilight Realm; there’s no better guide (and in my opinion, no better companion) in all of the Zelda series.

When asked for a most memorable tune from Twilight Princess, many players will respond with the iconic Midna’s Lament.  Not only is it a gently moving piece with a hint of a dark side, but it accompanies a turning point in the game’s narrative, as the partnership between Link and Midna begins to shift.  In an arrangement equally technically and creatively impressive, YouTube musician RichaadEB, along with jazz musician insaneintherainmusic, has taken the intensity of that scene and made it all the more pressing and urgent….
