The Fallen Hero, The Tragic Story of Dark Link – music theme download

This  song is part of the Album “Black as Ebony.” Inspired by the Legend of Zelda Nintendo-64 game, ‘Ocarina of Time’, it depicts the life of the anti-hero known as Dark Link. While much of his past is shrouded in mystery, his interactions as an antagonist against the Hero of Time leaves many questions about his actual reasons for wanting to fight, assuming of course that he has reasons to loathe him or has the ability of self reason and is not simply a mindless obedient monster. Yet, I feel his actions are so different from other monsters and bosses in the same game that I believe this character is individual, and is not necessarily the villain.

For some time I wanted to fill in the blanks of this anti-hero and give him a history, motivations for wanting to do what he did, including his particular style of aggression, and expanding his lore to give him a far more depthful and intriguing story.

This effort to fill in the blanks is to bring understanding. Likewise, when I see the mental struggles of War veterans returning from war, struggling with PTSD, and trying to live a normal life after the chaos they experienced, I am hardly surprised when they do not perform ‘perfectly’ in the eyes of the people. I relate to the struggle, though I have never fought in any wars of that nature. Yet I have fought an invisible war against the frailties of my own body and mind. I struggle with it every day. Please know, if you struggle, that I pray for you, and i honor your struggle with this melody.
