I started writing this nearly two years ago, and though most of my stuff from way back then totally sucks, I've actually always been happy with the bulk of this particular arrangement. I've tried to finish a full fledged version of it no less than three times over the two years, and if you ever have heard one of the earlier versions, you'll be able to get a sense of how far my production values have come.

Anyway, this is the "sequel" to a mix that's posted on the site, called Prelude. My intention is to cover all of Ocarina of Time's OST, so long as the song in question can survive the transition to orchestral, and to do so in a way that is sort of cohesive and neat sounding. I've written the next two parts, as well as Part 2 (which naturally goes in between Part 1 on the site and Part 3, which you're looking at right now), so at this point it's only a matter of sequencing, applying the sounds and mastering - which is actually the hardest part for me. Anyway, I look forward to your feedback, thanks.

so, anyone?

This, like your previous work, is simply masterful. I was a little nervous when you decided to embellish Saria's theme somewhat, but you made it work.

BTW, what can I call this in my music library? I'd rather it have an actual name as opposed to "Part 3", you know?

The whole first part of it seems kid of jumpy and not locking together really well. It gets more solid about a minute into it.

For the most part, the instrumentation and orchestrations is done really well. Its very solid and comes together very nice. Its just the first minute or so that seems kind of not so tight.

That could be because it's in 5/4! I think I know what you mean, and even though it sounds perfectly ordinary to me, it must just be because I've been listening to it for 2 years.

Dijn, I'm absolutley terrible at titles. I called the older ones Spiritual Stone of Fire, since that's sort of what's going on in the game at this point. But I'm not too happy with that title - if anyone has some suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

For what it's worth, you could call it "Youth" if you wanted. The music in the piece primarily focuses on the adventures of young Link after all. It's succinct, and conveys a direct emotion.

doesnt it sound like it sort of lacks something? like some of the orchestrated parts lacked intensity or something, dunno maybe its supposed to be like that.

I hate that damn owl, but i like this mix. I disagree with the others, I think the first minute is fine. the awkward time signature works for a foresty theme. the owl theme only brings back bad memories for me, but i like the orchestrated feel of it. And then a total switch in games, to a great remix of the mountain. Actually I think you could work more on that part and can the other two songs, and get a great mix out of that.

The first minute or so didn't sit so well with me either. I listened to it a few times to see if I could get used to it. So far, no go. Hm.

Kaepora Gaebora's theme was excellent. As was the Death Mountain theme... although I'm not sure how inter-game mixes are recieved on the judges end of things. :/ Even if they are all Zelda.

Very nice though. I am impressed, which is not easily done. :)

Well, my first remix on the site included music from three Zelda games, so it should be fine.
