Lanayru Sand Sea - Zelda: Skyward Sword║Reorchestration

A reorchestration of the Lanayru Sand Sea from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It was originally composed by Takeshi Hama, and therefore all rights go to him and to Nintendo.

In celebration of the new HD remaster of Skyward Sword releasing on the Switch, I thought I'd cover my favourite track from Skyward Sword and one of my all time favourite pieces from the whole series. Such an incredible piece, so atmospheric and emotive - the bells that repeat throughout, tolling as if to remind the player of a time long ago and the great sea that once was; a place once vibrant, colourful and full of life, now devoid of all but the dust and the shifting sands of a thousand years. The dunes but a pale imitation of the great waves of the before and each grain of sand a mere distant memory, a leftover of what used to be, destined to move around a barren wasteland for eternity. Haunting and ethereal, this track reminds you. Reminds you of what was, cruising on the vast sea of nothingness.

It really is a shame so many people seems to dislike Skyward Sword for various reasons, because they miss out on a fantastic OST that is far from unmemorable. While I have to admit the controls of the original haven't held up as quite too well, for a game 10 years old, everything else about it absolutely has. While there are things I agree and disagree with about this remaster, here's hoping people who missed out originally will have a chance to play through an even better and enhanced version of a truly stellar Zelda title.
