With the end of the world coming (except not really), I decided to record the Song of Time from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask as a hymn with nonsensical words to represent the ancient Hylian language.

The words started out with the intention of sounding Elvish but I think they're more of a mix of Latin and Eastern European sounding in diction.

Again there is no official Hylian language so I made something up.  I like the sound of it.  Done in approximately an hour in Garageband with the iSight microphone and no tuning assistance, so forgive the flaws.  Enjoy!

Hymn of the Goddesses (Song of Time)

I enjoyed covering the Song of Time last time, so I picked up Zelda's lullaby and kinda went with it.

When recording it, I imagined the King of Hyrule singing to his newly orphaned daughter as he just buried her mother earlier that day after dying from childbirth.

This was hard to cover as it truly covers a large range vocally and required some falsetto that I hope sounds alright.  Flipping between voices isn't the easiest thing in the world but I tried as best as I could.  The words are again nonsensical.  I should probably "write" out the Hylian language if I decide to make these songs go somewhere but again this is just for fun.  If you hear it, I hope you enjoy it.  Criticism is always welcome.
