Dude awesome tab sounds dead on with the game. As I read your tab I played the song and look at all the notes to match the music fits perfectly.Great for beginners too. Don't listen to any of the noobs who try to tell yo to add or change its PERFECT!

Spyder

Sun, 06/17/2007 - 22:19

That is amazing... PERFECTION!!!!!!! I play this all the time now!!!

BOW DOWN TO DA ARCHARD!!!
And don't listen to anyone unless it matches up even more perfectly w/ the actual song. Most times what they play isn't as good... sorry guys...

PS- I'm mostly a bassist, so if you could get bass tabs for something, idk what, just something... yeah =). And METROID tabs, those would be awesome... (long message)

your the best tabber ever you tab all the tunes so perfectly, everything is so perfect please make a tab for Deku Tree's last words.
you make all the tabs so matching and simple with the tunes.
please. please. its because i have played guitar for less then a year and your tabs are simple.

It's simple compared to others out there and probably the way Nintendo had originally composed the song since the Ocarina in the game only has a few notes, unless you toggle the controller stick and hold R or L while playing then you can hit almost every note possible (read this in an ol'Nintendo Power). But still… I made a few changes to consider.

At the beginning, change the Open “G” (the same goes for the second verse):

e--------------------------
B--0---3---------0---3-----
G--------2---3-2-------2---
D--------------------------
A--------------------------
E--------------------------

And add a few “slides” to the last bit:

e--10---8-7-8-7s3-----8---7-5-7-5s0-----
B---------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------

e--10---8-7-8-7-
b--------------8

Same as three and u dont need the slide or the 3, why bother with the strech.

Great tab but...... where is the intro?

Dudeman 5000

Mon, 07/23/2007 - 10:39

either its me or if you switch the strings to make the song go higher then low sounds like the song

Deadly.Synner

Sun, 08/12/2007 - 12:15

wow, thats PERFECT! Sounds just like it! one of my favorite songs from the whole Zelda series, you did a great job on the tab and now I'm addicted to playing this! ^_^ Bravo

pretty tabs exact sound, quite easy perfect one :D

someguy

Sun, 08/26/2007 - 14:34

Actualy, a good way to end this would be by strumming a G chord like this:

e------------3--
B----------0----
G--------0------
D------0--------
A----2----------
E--3------------

jeff

Fri, 08/31/2007 - 04:20

hey if yall dont like the ending just end it with

from-15---8-7-8-7-3-3--3

let last note ring for as long as possible

or instead

from-15---8-7-8-7-3---0

or you could just leav it the way it is by the way nice tab arch!! really good.

Ashley

i Think Bralisk ending tab sounded good orther wise the song would keep looping? so thats a good way to end it its easy for the beginners which is what he must have had in mind anyways its good and its always good to add your own touch to a song! its kinda boring to play something that has already been writtin... don't ya think?

without the 8 on the last 3 notes it sounds better
to slide to 3.. then 3 again end then 15!!

I feel like your missing a note at the beginning of the second section.

Anonymous

How the heck are you supposed to play those 10's 8's and 7's! It dosen't sound right! Is this for electric guitar or something?

This is how I end this song. Play it after the e15 fret. All I did was add an open G note after the 2nd fret.

And Archard, could you tab the background for this song also? On bass, maybe? That would own

Josh

Tue, 03/11/2008 - 21:43

Well, that didn't work. Anyways, it's just an open G note after the 2nd g fret anyways

Any other players besides me notice how fucking beautiful Javo's version was? Sounds a little off in places, but I really liked it. Javo, dude, submit that to the site.

Really good tab, as everybody said before, simple to play and easy to learn.
The Javo's version sounds really great too, even if it's a bit harder to play.

Enterim

Mon, 03/24/2008 - 23:07

Javo's is great, although I think the latter half of the song sounds a little barren in comparison with the former.

Hi, I really like this, it's easy to play and it annoys my sister, how could it get any better. I only have 1 suggestion, after the second part I feel like I missed something so I added some extra notes, I think it'll sound better this way:

e--------------------------------5---3-10-----------
B--0---3---------0---3-----0---3----------1-0-1-0---
G--------2---0-2-------2---------------------------2
D---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------

Remember, it's only a suggestion

Mon, 04/21/2008 - 11:24

sorry, something went wrong it should've been:

e--------------------------------5---3-10------------
B--0---3---------0---3-----0---3-----------1-0-1-0---
G--------2---0-2-------2-------------------------------2
