Ballad of the Goddess in 6 hole ocarina

Everyone keeps saying Ballad of the Goddess is just the Zelda's Lullaby backwards. That is in fact true in tune but not in notes (if I indeed know what the musical heck I'm saying). I tried reversing the Zelda's Lullaby that I got from Smule but that turned out to be so off tune even Majora would entrust the destruction of Termina to me. So I tried searching for the real Ballad of the Goddess on youtube and translated it by ear to the 6 hole ocarina. It turned out better than I expected, it's a little short though. I find it amazing how the people in Nintendo take a good song, reverse it and produce another good song. Plus each song have their story to tell, when they're taken together it's tells you the connection of the long line of Princess Zelda's and the Goddess Hylia.

Here's the basis of my version:


The song is repeated three times, I just repeated it twice because I'm rebellious...anyway, I added in a second video without Zelda singing.

I used STL's fingering composer for the ocarina chart:


It's really short but incredibly sweet and calm. It just makes you love Zelda even more.

Here's the video with Zelda singing:


Here's the video without Zelda singing:


And for reference I added in an incomplete version of the new Zelda's lullaby that I constructed earlier. I'll post the complete version maybe tomorrow along with the fingering chart. Zelda's Lullaby is really more pleasing with the added notes in-between.
