Happy Zelda Month! If you didn't catch it, I was planning on doing Dragon Roost Island for Video 20 for months now, so it just so happened to land on the first wednesday of November, so I decided to go crazy and do all zelda songs for the entire month of November, in honor of the illustrious PBG.

I really put my own spin on this one, and I really hope y'all appreciate it. While I was messing with the chords, it kept reminding me of one of my favorite Jazz standards, Take Five by Dave Brubeck. The melody also fit really well in 5, so I decided to give the song a swing, drop a beat, and make the song that way. I tried to create a synth jazz combo, using my arturia to make a nice bass tone, and trying to keep the tempest more tame for the jazzy synth drums.

My good friend Peter from Soundole VGM Covers added some sweet flute sounds on his EWI. I hope you enjoy it!
