“Great Fairy Fountain Theme” Played With Only Malleted Instruments
Posted on June 19 2012 by Bastian
While one of the most famous and easily recognizable themes from Zelda, the “Great Fairy Fountain Theme” seldom gets any covers. We’re more used to hearing “Gerudo Valley” or “Dragon Roost Island.” Musician Eric C. W. Peel sought to rectify that with a Latin-influenced arrangement of the beloved song by using only instruments that are struck by a mallet (with an egg shaker and congas thrown in for good measure). The arranger says this piece took him only two hours to arrange and features three marimbas, two vibraphones, a glockenspiel and some percussion. View the video after the jump!
What did you think? Did you like the decidedly Latin groove of the song? Can you play any of those instruments? Let us know in the comments!
