Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Sheik's Theme Acapella
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 11. 2023
- Here's my original a-cappella arrangement of Sheik's Theme from OOT! It's the first song I've ever done with such a fluctuating tempo, and though it's a short theme, it took quite a while to get right. I have to admit that I prefer steady tempos for acapella projects, but my love for Sheik's Theme and Ocarina of Time motivated me persevere and complete this project 😤🙌🎶

I'm slowly but surely covering every single song from this game. I love the entire soundtrack :}
Thank you for that
Wonderful work. Thankyou
time for an album
fantastic theme. could you do NES - Double Dragon 2? that would be awesome
you're a legend
I'm SO happy to still see the Cat being well and now there is an ADDITIONAL one
That black cat has been here so long.
I love how you can hear Zelda's Lullaby in this song, hinting at Sheik's true identity. Amazing job as always Smooth! I always love hearing your acapella covers!
I'm 30 years old and never noticed that... You have opened my eyes! Or ears. It's so obvious now...
Me pasa lo mismo que al amigo de arriba. 29 años, jugando desde siempre y quede así O_o
Never noticed that!
Oh my god you can! The two song's have similar feels, if that makes sense!
It was in listening to this very video that I'd noticed that for the first time!
I'm too young to be in the OOT nostalgia demographic, but playing through this game and hearing songs like this made me realize why people who played it as a kid have such an emotional connection to this game. OOT's soundtrack is full of these haunting tracks that ooze a sense of wonder, importance, and calm. It always surprises me how much a memory of a game is held or even made in it's soundtrack, and this piece is a perfect example of OOT's masterful use of music. Excellent job, I was quite moved by this cover even though it's such a short piece.
Truly well said! 1997 was such a good year for gaming. Heck, every year in the 90s was!
I saved up my lunch money to buy this game freshman year. Even though most kids were playing PlayStation, this game made a ton of PSX users so jealous. Good times.
Well said. OOT got me through some really awful times back in the day. I was 14-15 when it came out and depressed and suicidal from bullying in school. OOT was my escape, and probably even saved my life. It was such an escape.
I could almost feel myself in the game - it was a magical effect. ❤️
Music definitely has the power to move people.
Just wait for ~20 years to pass from when you first played the game and then come back to it. You'll be in the nostalgia demographic for it then, I'm sure.
I was so surprised when I found out who Sheik was. I actually didnt see it coming 😳
Me too but I figured out thru smash melee
The legend has spoken
I didn't either. I'm glad I was stupid and young enough to be surprised.
My 10 year old self as well. :) Great memories of a great game.
How
a good choice sir!
Ayyyy

I think this track is a great example of how music sets the tone in a game. Some would think meeting a red-eyed stranger after waking up from a time skip would be suspitious, but the song puts the player at ease. This person means no harm. This is someone we can trust. And, for me at least, I feel a sort of gentle love in this near apocalyptic world. Amidst all the pain and chaos, we can feel safe whenever Sheik is around
Not the first time we’ve seen Charl’s new friend but I think we’ve never seen both cats in the same video, let alone at the same time. What a treat!
Its nice to see all 8 of you guys are still really great friends.
This song has always been deeply moving. And today's not the first time that hearing it has made me tear up a little.
I think the first time Sheik's theme had that effect on me was the second time I ever heard it, which is when Sheik meets you in the Sacred Forest Meadow. By this point, you've not only heard Rauru tell you that Hyrule is in ruins; you've seen it for yourself. Castle Town is destroyed and full of ReDeads. Kakariko Village is a home for refugees, some of whom have lost hope. Even if you don't visit them, you can see that Death Mountain is encircled by an evil magic flame, and snow is blowing from Zora's Domain. And in the forest, since your father figure is dead, your home is overrun with monsters, your friends are in hiding, and none of them recognize you anyway. Then just when you think you can reunite with your best friend Saria, and maybe have a tiny amount of relief... she's gone.
In short, you've just found out that everyone you loved is gone or somehow lost to you. At this moment, you are completely alone and disconnected in a hostile world.
Then Sheik's theme starts to play, and when she appears, she acknowledges the bleakness of your situation, but speaks some words of comfort. I think that's what got to me, the first time I played Ocarina of Time. The world is falling apart around you, you've been tasked alone with saving it... but it turns out, you do still have a friend. And that catharsis is something that has stuck with me every time I hear Sheik's theme. In my real life now, it comforts me to be reminded that even whenever I have to take on some challenge alone... I'm not entirely alone, at least.
So, yeah. Anyway, thank you for covering this, Smooth. This song is a special one to me.
Spot on, great write up!
Fucking life story over here, I ain’t reading all that
I thought Sheik was a guy in OOT
@@Jay_Jay_Guy That's been an ongoing debate for years; other characters in the game call Sheik a man, and that's how the disguise is meant to look. But since we know (spoiler) that Sheik is really Zelda, and Zelda is a woman, I generally call Sheik a "she."
(And in my personal theory, I think it would be much easier and more efficient for Zelda to use magic that alters her appearance, rather than magic that completely changes her biology from female to male. So, I personally think it makes more sense that it's still Zelda's body under the disguise. A lot of fans feel differently, though.)
@@LamanKnight Ohh, i see. i grew up with the manga, and IIRC i think it said something about Zelda using her magic to hide in the form of a man, but it's been years since i've read it, so i could be wrong. Plus, i don't even know if it's canon, so i guess it's up to interpretation
Truly my favorite tune from Ocarina. I always let her cutscenes loop over and over. So tranquil and I loved her wisdom.
I was 8 when this game came out. I'm turning 32 in two months. This game is baked into the fabric of who I am. It's the first thing I think about when I remember my childhood. As soon as the N64 logo appeared on my screen and the Ocarina menu music hit my cerebellum, I knew everything I knew about videogames (and life itself) was about to change.
Always like to hear OoT tunes, they're close to the heart, thx smooth
This one sounds like it was super difficult with the tempo! Glad to see you tackling it though - and with two kitties to help this time!
Ohhhh this is soothing!!! Ba ba baaaaa. I love this! Keep grooving ! Sheik theme is one of my favorites in OOT!
That's so kind! I would give him a few $$$ too if I were richer. I think he deserves it! Anyway thanks for supporting him (plus your cat picture is cute!)
The way you modulate the tempo with such accuracy in each part is so impressive!
Just gotta say it's so great to be getting regular content from Smooth McGroove again
There can never be enough McGroove interpretations nor Ocarina of Time nostalgia.
Hey! I usually never put comments under videos but i have to, just to thank you because you made a part of my childhood. I remember asking my dad to download your acapellas on my mp3 just to listen to them on repeat and fall asleep with them. It was especially the undertales and zelda ones, so thank you for making these songs that give me so much nostalgia each time i hear them, thank you.
A Zelda Classic! Great job as always!
Ahhh doublecats!!!! Beautiful harmony.
ゼルダ曲嬉しいです
いつも美しい高音出るの羨ましい
寒くなってきてるので体調にお気を付けください
いつも応援しています
Never realized how nice and crunchy some of those harmonies are! Great work!
I've always loved the melancholy of this tune, I feel like I could play it over & over again forever.
Something about Shiek's theme really reminds me that though Link may take the appearance of an adult, he is still but a child at heart. There's just something nostalgic yet innocent about her theme. I can't quite pin down what that is but I think you nailed down most of it to the best you are capable of. It's definitely a tough song to cover vocally since the notes fluctuate in a unique manner that's difficult enough to figure out on a harp.
Aah, Shiek's theme...a great track.
Also, double kitties!
It is a beautiful soundtrack…and wait! You have another kitty? Yay!
Very nice, the tempo does seem weird to record.
With that being said I think he nailed it!!
@@familyretrogaming1035I agree
His time signature was a little fast, but yeah it definitely still sounded dope
What a beautiful sound!
I was enraptured and then I was just cracking up at the loveliness of Mr. Charl and Miss Angel. Thank you so much ....
I remember years and years ago when my friend first showed me your videos. I was in the passenger seat and he put his phone on the center console, and proceeded to play one of your songs. This is the only moment i remember of discovering one of my fav youtubers. I was so in awe as a little 13 year old kid. Now I am an adult, and unfortunately that friend has passed away. I wish he could've saw yet another smooth mcgroove return. RIP Gabe
Um ótimo trabalho ! ❤️🇧🇷
É o sonho, não?
Smooth, o brabo
Verdade
The song is wonderful, as usual, but I can't get over how gentle and sweet McGroove is with his kitties. It's so darling.
short but good song
seeing the kitties always makes my day better
Prelude of Light!
Playing for the first time when you meet the Sage of Light... Well played, Nintendo!
And well sung, Smooth! I'm glad you're back doing the classics! We missed you!
Beautiful song
Two cats to admire during your awesome songs!
Smooth McGroove blessing my eardrums yet again. Amazing work as always!
The most amazing thing about this video is how you managed to find not one, but TWO cats who will let you screw with them like this without tearing you apart
My man is back rockin' my ears off!!
Great cover, and we get to see both cats too!
This tune lives in my head rent free
DUUUUDE that's always been my favorite tune from any Zelda game. Frick you're the best
Thanks for the vid, Swashbucklin Mcgroove!
I was waiting for you to cover this one! Magical. Nice work!
I saw this video like 3 times on my recomendation thinking "oh is part of his old videos. I wonder if he ever will come back." Then i remember that you did! And clicked on the video.
This is the best time line for sure.
I'm so happy this popped up in my feed, I remember watching this guy's YEArs ago as a kid
Been listening to your stuff for about 5 years, subscribed now. Glad you still do it
Underrated theme; great job
Aw man, I loved this song as a kid! Great cover as usual
Dan is AMAZING!!! Been a fan for years!
Not only a great song, but a double kitty attack? You spoil us.
A simple one, but another absolute banger. Thanks Smooth. Love OoT and love your channel.
Sheik reveal still surprises me to this day
Always love seeing your cats in your videos
I've been watching your videos for over 10 years that's crazy
Ooh. Another kitty! I didn't know you had more than 1. It has been a while since I have watched some of your videos, so maybe I missed it. Glad to see you haven't lost your touch with the arrangements and singing. Best lyrics ever. XD
Just putting this one on loop for awhile! I used to have a save just before this conversation on the original cartridge, and I'd purposely not finish the conversation so it would just loop. Used it as a lullaby for weeks.
Great stuff Smooth! Bringing back some tears here!
Definitely in my Top 5 favorite Zelda songs!
OoT has such a great soundtrack!!
Glad you are back ♥ Thx for all the work. I wish you all the best ♥
this might be the best song to ever exist, glad to hear your cover!
Crushing it lately. Thank you.
Hi, just found out about your acapella covers… I LOVE!…
I love this channel, it's a perfect appeal to my nostalgia
Been watching for at least 6 years maybe more, love your channel man
It can be debated whether or not the game still holds up but man that soundtrack is *timeless*
i was trying to find music for a college project and was also thinking about you at the same time and i find this and was like "wow i manifested this"
One of your best once yet.❤
Beautiful! I'm so glad you've been back.
And.... Now I rememer I want a Sheik game set between the two ages that shows her getting her skills....
Absolutely love! ❤
I can't think you enough for all the music you make.
Love your stuff man, keep it up!
love this song and smooth makes it sound real good!
I always loved the simplicity of this song and how it all weaves together. Amazing work!
Yes! Zelda OOT has some of my favorite music themes. Mainly the dungeons music.
Lit as always, Mr Smooth 🔥
I CAN NOW DIE HAPPY! Thankfully I got a bunch of fairies in bottles so I can revive and listen to these amazing songs again. You keep hitting it out of the ballpark Smooth, thank you for creating these masterpieces. I hope you know just how much joy you spread. The nostalgia alone is an amazing gift you're giving us all, and then on top of that we get these amazing high quality works of art. I cannot thank you enough for that!
Man, that Sheik. So buff and manly. So cool. I wonder when he'll team up with Link and help save Zelda.
This is amazing! I love it.
You and your 7 brothers are amazing.
Great song choice as always. Not always just going for the obvious ones, but also hitting some of those deep cuts. Love it, man. Your uploads always make my day.
OMG your black cat!!!! And a new one too! Smooth McGroove bringing hapiness since forever!
This song always brings me to tears. Amazing rendition!
I’m so glad to see how much love you’re getting. You remind me of something but I can’t put my finger on it. It’s a very nostalgic feeling
This was easily one of my favourite themes in OoT
You're back! I missed you!
The sound of your voice is melodious. 🥰
Another great acapella!
One of my favorite themes from the Zelda franchise. Thank you for your amazing work as always, Smooth!
Thank you kindly sir for blessing us with your voice once more!
