[Intro] (8-bit arpeggios start, a crisp ocarina plays the first four notes of Zelda’s Lullaby) (Bit-crushed drum beat kicks in: Kick, Snare, Hi-hat) Yeah. From the throne to the ruins. The blood of the Goddess. Listen. [Verse 1] Born in the purple, but I’m living in the grey While the boy in the green is just a screen away I’m the legend in the title, keep the name on your lips Holding back the Calamity with the world at my fingertips Started in the pixels, 1986 Solving every puzzle while the clock goes tick Not a damsel in distress, I’m the plan in motion Got the wisdom of the ages, deeper than the ocean. [Chorus] I got the gold on the back of my hand (Triforce!) I’m the light shining over the land (Hyrule!) Hear the ocarina play when the sun goes down Heavy is the head that’s wearing the crown 8-bit heart, but the soul is eternal Writing down the history in a royal journal. [Verse 2] (Beat gets a bit more aggressive, heavy bass pulse) Call me Sheik in the shadows, yeah I’m moving in stealth Put the kingdom on my back, I don’t care about wealth Locked in a castle for a century straight Fighting off the malice, yeah I’m sealing the fate Ganon wants the power? Tell 'em "Not today" I’m the Sage of Time, I make the seasons obey From the NES sprites to the open-world breath I’m the one who stands between the life and the death. [Bridge] (Drums drop out, only 8-bit ocarina solo) (Melodic, haunting, echoing) Do-Re-Mi... Do-Re-Mi... The melody of the chosen... (Beat returns with a heavy crash) [Chorus] I got the gold on the back of my hand (Triforce!) I’m the light shining over the land (Hyrule!) Hear the ocarina play when the sun goes down Heavy is the head that’s wearing the crown 8-bit heart, but the soul is eternal Writing down the history in a royal journal. [Outro] (Fade out with descending 8-bit scales) Wisdom isn't quiet. It’s a roar. See you in the next timeline. (Final Ocarina trill)
