I thought it was pretty good, but could have been a lot better had I been able to hear the "main" instruments a bit more. There are elements in the song that are comparable to movie soundtracks. Pretty good stuff.
About an 8/10
Good job. I look forward to more submitions by LindsayAnne!

I like this remix. I really do. However, it feels as though it is only half of an experience. This is, in every way, a song meant to be set to a movie. If there is ever a Zelda movie, this would need to be on the soundtrack. The quality and composition is excellent, however, and I look forward to more contributions from this artist.

if there were a zelda move this should be in the soundtrack it is in every way an excellent remix
it sounds great for the opening credits
the best parts about this remix i think is its
1. originality
2.how the whole song just flows from one note to the next
3. it just sounds like something straight out of a movie soundtrack

Wow, I know most of the songs here are remixed, but this one seems to be COMPOSED. It takes the single most remembered theme from zelda, and turns it into a piece i can see the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra recording with Kondo conducting. I wish you'd take the rest of the soundtrack and run it through the same samples. This made me a LindsayAnne Klemm fan.

Thanks so much for listening!
It makes me especially happy to hear that you think it sounds like part of a Zelda movie soundtrack, 'cause that's just what I had in mind when I wrote it. :) I know the volume is a little low and the instruments are a little too "synth" yet, but I might go ahead and remix my remix in some newer and better sounds.
Again though, thanks so much for getting me posted on OCR, and thank you for your kind words. :)

This arrangement is great. I like the new Zelda remixes that are coming out. Its a change from the millions of techy gerudo remixes we have. Keep em comin.

Yes. It is nice to hear a Zelda remix thats softer and mellow ..a needed change from all the disco/hardcore jumping guys that wants to stay on their dancefloors ..though i have nothing against synths and electronica really 8)

It is refreshing to hear a mellower interpretation of the main theme. Dont get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed the more upbeat remixes, but i did enjoy this one greatly. The melody is passed along in a sort of call and response that harkens back to Grainger or Copland. Mini variations and motifs based on the main theme and chords keep the piece coherent, but stray just enough to let it wander ethereally. Nice work.

A little quiet, but besides that a good remix. ^_~

I quite like this remix. I had to turn it up to hear it though, it's quiet.
The flute and clarinet are really wonderful in this.
Sounds like everyone else is in agreement of how nice of a piece this is. Definitely soundtrack-worthy.

I really enjoyed this song alot. At first it seemed too similar to Eutopia Pegasi, but then it built up and really got me hooked. Very nice. :)

Gorgeous. This is an awesome remix. The chord structure resonates with a fresh power, adding much to the song.

I must say, as a fellow composer, that I am overwhelmingly impressed by this work of art you've created. This is one of the best orchestral arrangements I have ever heard and the very life of the Zelda concepts and creation are very worthy of this piece you have made.
I, too, submitted my own remix of the theme that is an original composition that works the theme in, but it will probably not measure up to the glory of this one.

Newcomer LindsayAnne Klemm has submitted a breathtaking orchestral piece of the Legend of Zelda theme. It is very graceful and possibly one of the greater Zelda remixes you will find on the net.

...Wow. Nintendo should licence this and make it an ending theme for the next Zelda title. It's that good.

Wow. When I heard this I just started laughing because I couldn't believe how incredibly good it was. Somebody e-mail a link to this to Nintendo! They need to put this in their next game!

A few trouble spots, but I admire the guts it took to give the Zelda theme a new chord structure. Nice. I'd even say that 3:00 to 3:20 is beautiful.

Nice. I like the take on the Zelda theme; most of what I hear is set to a march tempo. However, this song needs a bit more variation for me to truly like it, but I think that it is still a fairly good remix. 7/10
EDIT: I actually like this remix better after listening to it several times.

I see this as the perfect re-arranged theme for an epic Legend of Zelda RPG.

Wow...I can't summarize it better than that. It's the most beautifully and interwoven piece I've heard in a long time, and it gives a soft, romantic mood to the zelda theme.
Excellent work.

An unbelievable piece. It makes me think of a movie soundtrack! It's subtly the Zelda theme and a wonderful intrumental. Absolutely beautiful!

An amazing orchestral piece. Beautifully done, every section of the orchestra: the brass and especially the percussion just make it so majestic. Yup, add this to the list of potential material for the OST for the next Zelda game. Keep it up!
I actually had tears listening to this song.. It's very beautiful and soft, and I definitely agree to the song being a professional movie soundtrack mix.

excellent song..., cant say more
should be in th final battle escene in the Animation Miyazaki should be doing, just imagine, hayao miyazaki making a zelda anime... with this kind of music
A nice calm, relaxing mix...
Very enjoyable and probably my favourite Zelda Mix on this site :grin:
Cant say more than that.
10/10, and I reccomend you download it immediataly 8-)
I also agree with the comment made by "Raid", it is indeed a very soft, and somewhat emotional mix...
Anyway, in a nutshell, download it, very good mix and is worth your time!!

Very nice piece, I really like how it picks up toward the end and gets really emotional, it's great mood music for writing, haha.
Pretty majestic stuff- good samples and a generally legato and languid arrangement make this feel really flowing and peaceful. Awesome shifts in the underlying chords to give it a totally new feel. Very soaring stuff, and really paints a nice picture of Hyrule, maybe before Ganon got all up in it.

The structure of the background chords is very overdone in the more "Majestic" pieces I've heard in my time, but the way you've pieced together the sound with the title theme works better than many songs I've heard. 9/10.
