Ahoy mateys, we’re setting sail once again for Dragon Roost Island from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, this time for a Pirate-Metal style arrangement!
This was the last GaMetal song I did before the ‘Atma Era’ of GaMetal started in 2013. It received many requests to be remade from the May Madness ballots, and was the last song I cut from my May short list from last year, so all things considered, this one was a lock to return in 2021.
Upon listening to my old 2012 remix, I… hated it, lol. So I started completely from scratch and made this into a Pirate-Metal song, changing from 3/4 to 6/8 timing and adding some ‘piratey’ instruments (accordian, bagpipe, fiddle, flutes, etc).
The feel may be completely different, but I feel it suits the song well, and I’m definitely much happier with this arrangement than my old one!
