Fridays in the Key of Geek: Ocarina of Time – Song of Storms on the Marimba

Making it rain.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is surprisingly the only Zelda title I have played so far, and has some of the best music in any game I have ever played; the songs are catchy.  If you have played the game before, you probably found yourself humming the tunes at random times and having people looking at you like you are nuts.  At least that is my experience.  A lot of people have attempted to recreate the songs of this game on many different instruments, and thousands of versions can be found on the internet.  The best I have heard yet would be the marimba; a xylophone type of instrument that is usually made of wood.  YouTube user Mart0zz has posted around six or seven of these videos; all of Zelda songs.  They are all enjoyable to watch, so check them out when you are done watching this one.
