Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time 'Memories of Saria'
It's a tough call, but in the end I really can't say I recommend this. Almost none of the sounds are vey high quality, and some are downright annoying. It's a bit repetative, and the slow-down ending, while good, really doesn't fit the song and is much too drawn out. It has its moments, yes, but I think the bad outweighs the good here. Though as I said, it's a really tough call.

As the person who perpetrated it the atrocity, I can't recommend that you listen to this either....I myself find it incredibly annoying...but some people like that crap....feel free to be less lenient in the future

I have a playlist with all of the Overclocked remixes on my hard drive and I leave it on Shuffle. Whenever it skips to this song and I hear those retarded...Whatever they are...I just change the song. I don't think I have heard past those retarded things more than once, so I can't say whether I like the rest of the song...But for any of you who like it, I am sure you are

You hurt me Woffester....you hurt me real bad....using my own mp3 script against me....how dare you....as far as the song goes....I believe I said...The song sucks :D
It was made around the same time as the DKC2 remix that recently got rejected. By the time they got around to it I could do so much better that I couldn't stand the thought of trying to resubmit it. but hell...it'll be another 5 months before they get around to it again. I might as well do what I can with it....wow...it's amazing how far i go on a tangent.

My intent was not to hurt you, and if it truly didn't hurt you, you wouldn't have had the urge to prove me otherwise.

the comment was made jokingly, my friend.
All's well that ends...acceptably

DJ Starchild, Get a soul, Get some self-confidence. Hell, it was bad, ok. But don't be so hard on yourself. If it truly was god-awful it wouldn't be on this site, right? I mean, come on. Other people have a right to dis it, YOU DON'T.

The artist is always hardest on his work. Actually, bro, I dig it. It's decent work.

Well I personally really liked the remix, mostly for those awesome drum parts between the melody.

I love Saria's Song,I love Saria. All those idiots who are slamming this song apparently don't even listen to it all the way though,those ba---::ahem:: anyway, the remix is great. It's a nice job catching the actual tune,but making it really...nifty and party-like. ::nods:: i approve.
...it'd be nice to see some other Saria's Song Remixes....

Oooooo
Don't be too hard on yourself, man. Saria's Song has to be one of the toughest ones to work with since it's so cheezy sounding. I don't think you did a bad job at all as far as quality is concerned. Very few would dare step into the lost woods and make something using this song out of pure fear. I applaud your bravery in this undertaking. :wink:

This is a marginally generic remix that I would only recommend since Saria's Song remixes aren'te extremely prevalent. The song does have some enjoyable aspects to it and manages to avoid getting repetitve despite being such a short loop. 4/8

Hey, I've heard this song (well, not quite THIS song) on VGmusic.com!!! Even so, it's still a great music, but not one I'd want to listen to repeatedly. More like a special occassion thing. Happy dance moments aside, it is a worthy remix, just not a great one.

I like the techno feel to this song. I don't think this song is generic, because it still has its happy little tune intact. Now, is happy generic?
85%
An average-length track that is enjoyable, and for being just a tad repetitive, it really does fly by.

The opening notes sound like a carnival and pierce through your brain. I'm sorry, but this one just doesn't do Zelda any justice. No hard feelings.

this is the first song i ever downloaded from ocremix, way back about a week after it got posted.
this was my favorite song for a while. but now it isn't.
there is so much dj starchild could have done.
Bd is too soft and quiet. needs more oomph . the 2nd melody seems to overpower everthing else, it just pissed me off.
this is a average track.

This track is just...strange. I had to listen to it a few times to decide if I liked it or not. It's okay, and an interesting version of the Saria's Song, but it's not one of my favorites. However, I do think it is worth downloading:-)

Well...for a second remix, it's pretty well the best I could do. And, it being two years later...I wouldn't even make anything similar to this remix....indeed, I haven't remixed since my Brink of time remix got rejected...*sighs* good times.
Anyways, a favourite song? Are you out of your bloody mind?
I'm quite surprised by the number of people who actually gave this good reviews...and were able to type....

Hmmm I dont know...I find this one to be VERY exact with a midi file on VG Music.The mix is good but I don't like it when they are exactly as a Pure mp3 version of the midi file...

Well, I say this song already has enough oomph, it's just that something is overpowering the main saria tune. I can't put my finger on what, maybe it's many little things. Anyways, this is a good song overall, it's in my playlist for good.

This song sorta reminds me of the theme from never ending story.

Wow !
It's thanks to this song that I know OCRemix ! :-D
I searched Lost Woods in google, 2 or 3 years ago, and I found out there was a website that post Remix of video game soundtracks ;-). I listened to the song, Memories of Saria, and I thought it was Impressive !:-D
So, Aetherius, this is an awesome remix !!!:wink:
Mixing is all over the place on this one. It's pretty indistinct sounding, and the levels of all the instruments are not quite gelling. Way too much reverb on just about everything, and there seem to be random intonation issues, like some samples weren't tuned.
Sorry dude, not a fan. :-(

I went back and forth on this one awhile. On one hand, I'm a big fan of the Lost Woods theme, and this is the only pure of mix of it on the site (not that I mind mixing Lost Woods and Windmill Hut; I think they work great together), but on the other, the sound is kind of screeching and distracts from the music itself. In the end, I decided to pass on this, but had the lead instrument been a different sample, I probably would have kept it, since the arrangement itself isn't all that bad.
