Can you play any Zelda song(s) on a musical instrument?

I can play Wind God's Aria, Earth God's Lyric, the overworld theme from LoZ, Midna's Lament/Desperate Hour, and most/all ocarina songs from OoT on the violin, piano, recorder, and cell phone. :I

there's one of those catchy sayings...if you take the letter from every line starting from the bottom, it spells GBDFA. the saying that corresponds is Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always. (the only problem with this is, there's a *very* similar saying for treble clef used the same way, so if you know both sayings, it gets confusing.)

0ther than that, it's just studying and practice. good ole wiki may help too. - they actually have more sayings and stuff to help you remember.

*laughs* I know that much. ^_^ I learned that in 6th grade band class. Playing Clarinet though, I only play the Treble Clef, so reading Bass Clef isn't as easy for me.

yeah I can play Zelda songs on Piano....yeah that all i can

lol, gotchya. I'm like that too, since I learned oboe in band. never quite got the hang of bass...but I can sorta feel my way thru. I just have to write what notes are what on the sheet music til I memorize it XD

Ocarina and guitar, but mainly piano. I'm only an amateur but I've been trying to play video game themes for a while now and unlike a year ago I can now at least play properly with my 2 hands, which adds so much more when you play.

I can play the intro of WW on guitar, but without bass line still need to find it... (No tabs for me, i can't read them =S)

(Nice quote in your sig -Jin- =D)

I can play a multitude of instruments:
Clarinet & bass clarinet, trumpet & cornet, trombone, tuba, sousaphone, celtic flute, pan flute, lyre & harp, ocarina, drums (tenors, snare, bass, bongos, timpani), bells (xylaphone, pipedream chimes, marimba), glass harmonica, piano & keyboard & organ. I'm trying to learn violin and guitar... but I haven't been practicing.

On all of these, I can play a multitude of Zelda songs. I prefer to play most of the music on the piano... it's just a lot more fun. I especially like to play the ALttP ending and ALttp credits. ALttP Dark World and Death Mountain (Dark World version) are on the top of my list, too. ALttP probably had the best music, IMO. I also really love the plain the main overworld theme... the Termina version of it is especially fun on the piano. Oh, and "Farewell Hyrule King" from TWW (also a piece heard in ALttp). Can't forget Gerudo Valley, either.

Songs like the Song of Storms, Ganon(dorf)'s theme, Song of Healing, and other songs with a lot of minor or harmonic chords are very fun to play on the organ. When it comes to TWW, I love sticking with the celtic flute. The intro is very fun to play, as well as the Molgera battle and the sailing music (also fun on piano).

One of the most versatile pieces is definitely OoT's ending music... it's very fun on the piano, but it's also enjoyable on everything else, be it low brass, woodwind, or anything else.

Unfortunately, very few pieces of TP's music moved me. I haven't really been inspired by Zelda music since TWW.

Piano, Viola, Violin.

I play the Viola, but I figured out how to play the others because I just dropped an octave.

I could probably play on a guitar if I had one..


Lol I used alot of I's

Lately I've been learning to play the Castle Courtyard music and the Great Bay music on the piano.

I've done my own arrangements of many pieces of Zelda music, as well.

i can play a lot of songs like sun song,saria's song, ect. on ocarina

Clarinet:
- Zelda's Lullaby, something not easy if you're going it's normal tempo and trying to play the high up notes at the same time.
- Hyrule Field Theme from TP, though pretty, not at all easy on my embouchure after playing the 16th-note runs over and over.

Keyboard:
- Zelda's Lullaby, as simple as you can put it in the right handed-ness. Curse not being able to read bass yet. >_<

Ditto for me you too. I cant play many of the OOT songs, but i can play the song of healing from MM somewhat lol. i get a couple of notes wrong here and there XD

I play the clarinet and I have 32 Zelda songs on my computer. Most of them are OoT and MM but there a few ALTTP songs. :3

I'm currently learning the basic parts of all of the Ocarina of Time songs on guitar.

I can play sarias song on cello!

Ocarina ~
Serenade of Water
Bolero of Fire
Hen House Theme

Piano~
Gerudo Theme
Falbi/Fyer/Plumm's theme (does this have a name?)
Wind Waker theme
Lost Woods theme
Save or Quit screen (original)
Zelda theme
Wind Waker Legend theme

Both ~
Clock Town theme
Zelda's Lullabye
Song of Time
(Yellow Submarine, hooray!)

The only Zelda song I remember playing was Bolero of Fire on my Ocarina... and I kinda sucked at it. :/

Only song from Zelda I ever tried playing was the one that Ganondorf plays in his Tower from OoT... I'm pretty good at that, but havn't tried any others.

I can play the dungeon theme from Zelda II and Epona's song on guitar.

i play the drums so really the only zelda song i can play on the drums is death mountain

One of them is Midna's Desperate Hour. I can only play it with one hand at a time, but with a little practise I should be able to play the whole song with both hands.
I know that this thread don't have so much discussion material, but at least I tried.
And maybe we also can help each other to learn zelda songs on a certain instrument. Just a suggestion.
It will be interesting to see if this thread will lead anywhere or if it will be locked..(If this thread is getting locked, then it is my third this year )

Wow, I'm just the same. XD I can only play Zelda songs on the piano. And some Kingdom hearts/final fantasy stuff just cause it's pretty awesome too.

Everytime I play I just feel like I honest to god have no life. XD
