Some might know this as the Fire Emblem Premium Arrange album's first track, or the Shadow Dragon Medley from Brawl. That's how I know it at least

Few things I wanted to note

  • m9-12 I simplified the LH, the original part has 16th notes instead of 8th notes/tied 16ths on 1.0, 1.75, 3.0, and 3.75.
  • m13-20 seemed impossible for melody and harmony to be played by a single hand, so I went with the structure I did of playing the held pitch at 1.0 as an 8th note, and then moving quickly to play the harmony.
  • At m16 I am open to removing the parentheses if they are confusing on 3.0 and 3.25, as there is no way to play both the upper staff and lower with your LH. The idea was to use the RH for those 2 notes and to have the LH quickly jump down to play the An on 3.0

Glad to see this getting a submission! I'd actually arranged the song myself before, but apparently I was missing an entire section? Good to see though.

I did actually post it a couple years ago here:

Though like I said, your version looks better lol
