Yeah, the Wind Waker video is the best, by far. It rules.

Thanks for the posting the interview.

Why does every person who sets off to do a project requiring preparation and effort have to be "bored"?

Good point. Not sure why I put that... I didn't really think about the title all that much.

jscott: Because he spent hours of his time recreating video game music on stupid YouTube instead of applying his talent to more worthwhile ends! And it was a funny title for the post.

Megaman 9 is way too difficult. I can't beat any of the levels and that makes me feel bad about myself.

The Wind Waker thing? Wow. I guess the guitar part doesn't take much guitar skill, but the accordion is no simple beast and he's really very, very good on the penny whistle. And the arrangement is (as one commentator says) better than the original -- especially at 1:44 where he decides he needs nine voice parts and two accordion parts to flesh it out. Once again, I wanted to be "meh". I was surprised by "wow". Bravo, Sir. Bravo.

I liked defenstration's answer better.
