[Song a Day] Transformative Week | Fredrik Larsson - Wind Waker Unplugged

[justira]

Part of the Song a Day Project! Also part of Transformative Songs Week in honour of the OTW March Drive.

Today, I want to feature a fanwork that's both a medley and a cover — an instrumental version of music from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and other Zelda games, arranged and performed by this fan, based in part on a medley present in the end credits. The music from this game is still under copyright — and I want to protect and celebrate the right and ability of fans such as this one to create and distribute their own takes on the source material they interact with.

This is a really lovely piece, and as I've mentioned before I have a definite soft spot for videos such as this, where you watch each part performed as it comes in. While there are no lyrics, I'm putting the list of songs/music used behind the cut.
