Sounds very similar to the beginning of Goodnight Kiss. I wonder who was playing Zelda when they were writing 

[blackngold29]

Is that from the original or written for that concert? The concerts are only a few years old.

Very similar indeed.

[Dublagent66]

Musical similarities are not uncommon.

Musical similarities are not uncommon.

I know that, but I'm just pointing this out because I wonder if Goodnight Kiss was inspired by this piece.

[Dublagent66]

It wasn't.

[jonny108]

It wasn't.

Ooh, how do you know? 

[antigoon]

That was beautiful.

[Dcrupi]

Very nice arrangement of the Zelda piece, and the opening similarity to Goodnight Kiss is pretty funny...but it's incredibly unlikely that there's a connection.  Thanks for posting!

anyone have the original writer's email address? 

[orcus116]

Usually I'm one to be all over something like this but it's just two very common chords with "obvious" lead-in notes. I doubt any inspiration was taken.

anyone have the original writer's email address? 

I lold

[jcmoorehead]

anyone have the original writer's email address? 

Depends, did they give credit in the liner notes or not?

This is the original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tf7gu6hKkc

Not close at all.

There is a part on Wither that reminds me of Zelda's Lullaby from Ocarina of Time.

It's at roughly 2:55.

[Bone_Daddy]

Nowhere near being similar.

I came here to post that.

The first time I heard the Overture on 6 degrees it totally reminded me of The Windwaker 

[SquishyMon]

Reminds me more of Satie

On a related note, the German guys who ripped DT off:

Sonnenbrillengestell by German band Wohlstandskinder

Seriously similar to The Ytse Jam.

[Fuzzboy]

Wow, OP's link is beautiful

Nowhere near being similar.

Oh c'mon.

Yeah it does sound similar. I'd call it a coincidence though, although I've no problem if DT was influenced by it

[Adami]

Nowhere near being similar.

Yes they are. I didn't even read the song title correctly and I immediately heard it. But that's ok.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one that thought of that, I thought I was crazy when no one else could hear that except for me

This, those are some very common chord progressions. Nice find though!

[TheOutlawXanadu]

I have heard the Ocarina of Time song a billion times and never made the connection to "Goodnight Kiss", but they do sound so similar!

P.S. The symphony playing Zelda is B.A.D. A.S.S.
