Mmm. Good percussion stuff. Trance beat that actually is interesting and detailed. Good fills and such as DJP said.

I kinda feel that the string lead is too loud. It seems to overshadow a lot of stuff. But the way it is handled and the melody it plays is very tight.

The banjo is quite interesting, though I don't think I'm really fond of the pattern it and the synth plays. They kinda just do the same thing over and over, just change notes. When the melody and everything is going together, there just seems to be no interesting rhythms going on in the mix other than the lead. Doesn't bug me much, and it does give a really fast moving feel.

The section at 3:08 is quite nice. Dig. Good sounds, good break from everything else.

Good stuff.

I very rarely use this phrase, but hot damn. There's a definite energetic feel to it, which it always good, and I like how things keep getting switched up (instruments, key, etc). Maybe it's just because I don't listen to a lot of techno, but this is very reminiscent of McVaffe's IceCapped mix, which isn't a bad thing. Quite a good thing, in fact. For a remix this long, it managed to keep my attention throughout the entire thing. Nice work. A++++ would download and rave about again.

Sweet. The strings part reminded me a little bit of Bond, which is a VERY good thing. Also liked the delayed piano part a lot. Overall, a very solid mix.

Oh my god. The memories... Beautiful.

Strings are great, great key change.

Mixes like this make me want to cry. I remember the days when I was 8, in the car to go to maryland for the summer, and I'm in the backseat of our minivan, playing Link's Awakening on my Gameboy.

I love the piano and the echo pizzacatto strings.

The banjo's mad hot =D

Overall, beautiful. Want more.

Love just about everything in this mix -- I definitely like the banjo, I think it somehow fits the theme very well. It keeps me from thinking "uber-ultra-trance using the Tal Tal Heights melody" and instead "Tal Tal Heights trance-style but keeping the same feel as the original."

And I cannot express just how impressive that beat is -- it flat out owns the beats in a whole slew of "professional" trance songs.

this is great, although the high's around 2:25 are really hard on the ears, but maybe i've been working to hard today, i loved this theme from the game, i used to go to the one area where the it could be heard right before you went to the swamp grotto just to hear the theme, great mix

I've never really liked trance, but DAMN this is good!

You know, I think this is the first time I've ever rocked out to a violin :) The banjo is also really good for keeping the feel of the original.

The only thing I didn't like about this song was the ending...it just kinda dwindles out. From about 5:00 on is pretty much fluff. It could have either been shortened by about 20 seconds, or had one last burst of music to keep the remaining time a little bit more lively.
