This side of Hawaii 5.0...

...I present to you a version of the theme from the Legend of Zelda, played on the uke.



This tune has been stuck in my head since I was about 8, give or take. It is Iconic, in a way few songs are. It's sounds mainly like a spanish folk song, but it's got a few tints of celtic in there, on account of the flats. Sure, if you didn't play video games back in the day, you might not recognize it, but I gaurantee it will stick in your craw.

The middle of the tune is the dungeon theme, the rest is the overworld theme. I really dig the last third where he really speeds it up and creates a U2 style vibe.

I still like the System of a Down version better.
