This is definitely very emotive......intersting to hear a softer, more gently moving form orchestral piece that still maintains dynamic contrast. Loved the ending as well. All around good work.

Excellent work Mr. Arnett, the series would have done well to get you in their music department.

Gotta love orchestral remixes of this standard. Lovely samples in a great arragement, theres very little to improve on here.

Very well done. I'm very impressed by this. Such is a flow about the mixing and the crescendos. The strings are just gorgous. Awesome job all around

very cool! I hear Ocarina of Time, Main Theme...and something that sounds a lot like the trailer music for Twilight Princess...

Do another one!

For the most part, the arrangement is very boring. The samples are fantastic, but the sequencing and production values are rather mediocre.

I'm very impressed by this. Without a doubt one of my favorite zelda remixes around.

The samples are quite good (though i'd still kill to hear this played live). And I'd have to say i really like the arrangement There's a lot of contrast to be heard here, and these are probably among the smoothest transitions or any orchetsral remix on the site.

Your choice in themes to incorporate is also spot on for creating the zelda atmosphere. This medley of tuens doesnt really walk you through the story, nor tell you about a piece of the story. Rather it seemes to string together themes from through out the series that just scream zelda. Which is perfect for an overture.

and If i'm not mistaken I hear The main theme, hyrule feild from Oot, the trailer music from twilight princess, and mosty suprisignly the bonus track from twilight princess.

And dont know if its your intention or not you have segments of your piece that sound very remeniscient stylistyically of minish cap.

Excellent work. Can't wait to hear more of your stuff.

So why is this under the original Zelda and not Ocarina?

Just curious how these things are handled when they have sources from two different games in a series.

EDIT: Oh, I'd be remiss in not adding that this is a fun arrangement, by the way. High fives all around! :D
