With over 10 million units sold,Tears of the Kingdomshows no signs of slowing down on social media.

A Twitter user andTears of the Kingdomplayer named bran8bit, who previously discovered howZonai devices could be used to make musicin different ways, took their talents to the next level by creating a cover of “Corridors of Time” from Chrono Trigger and editing the different parts of the song together in a video that lasted just under two minutes. In each part, bran8bit used Stakes, Beam Emitters, and a controlling mechanism to make the beams hit the Stakes in specific patterns. In addition to Beam Emitters, bran8bit attached some wood and sticks to a couple of stakes to add some percussion to the song.
Given the fact thattheZeldaseries is known for its music, it comes as no surprise that Nintendo would implement a way for players to express themselves with music. Between that and the fact that attaching Stakes can change the octave of each note when struck, bran8bit used several sets of Zonai devices for the song. While one set was used for the main arpeggio, bran8bit used additional devices to create the lead melody, bass, and percussion tracks. When each musical track came up during the song, the video highlighted each part as the beams hit each stake. The video from bran8bit was viewed over 300k times on Twitter within the first six hours of posting.
In the replies, manyTears of the Kingdomplayers praised bran8bit and called their work one of the best creations to date. While some fans remained hopeful thata rumoredChrono Trigger HD-2D remakeis in the works at Square Enix, only time will tell if those prove to be true.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available now for Nintendo Switch.
