After a long day enduring the work grind (or the hardships of a hero), there’s nothing quite like the feeling of coming home to a familiar place and kicking your feet back by the fire in a comfy chair. That’s exactly what this cover of the Hateno Village theme sounds like, laced with a fun multi-man acapella style by none other than the musician Smooth McGroove. He’s performed many video game song covers, including Zelda’s own Outset Island, Zelda’s Lullaby, the Milk Bar, and much more. You can find more of Smooth McGroove’s songs here.
The beat and melody of this hit theme song is almost exactly the same, save for the remarkable talent (and hilarity) of a one-man choir singing to the tune of this peaceful farm village verbatim. The fun light-hearted production is so delightfully goofy, it’s hard not to crack a chuckle by the end of the YouTube video. Take a listen and see for yourself. If this doesn’t inspire you to take on the endeavors of mushroom fashion, I’m not sure what else will.
