I'm going to cheap out on you shariq and just paste what I said at vgm. ^_^

Very emotional from the beginning. Thanks to the harp playing.

Enter the beautiful choir and string passages. Nice brass, sounds like it's muted. It works perfectly with this mix by delivering a powerful yet serene sense of grandness. At around the early 2 minute mark I would have liked the harp louder.

The latter half of the mix is mostly, the theme which everyone recognizes. I love the drumwork and choice of drum and percussion. Excellent usage and choice.

Great ending also. I think the reverb here is just a little too much. I know you like reverb, as do I. ^_^ But I think slightly less would have worked better since I don't view this orchestral set up as a huge one.

All in all, amazing work shariq. It has a very grand, yet intimate and serene style that's highlighted by emotionally charged harp sequencing. Excellent orchestral display in terms of understanding and instruments used. Great work!

Ohhh, this is different and longer than the last WIP version I heard. And I thought that version was perfect enough, heh. This is beautiful!

excellence. sheer excellence.
from the beginning it was excellent, with the harp, and the progression to the classical zelda theme was really pleasing to hear. this is just great, i'm glad you chose orchestral as well, good use of choral elements, everything seemed appropriate about it and nothnig out of place, you did it justice. even when it picks up (which is where some fall apart) it upheld. this is easily one of the nicest remixes on the site in my opinion.

There are too many things I love about this mix. The original songs ("The Legendary Hero" and "Sage Laruto") were starving for mixage, and you delivered. I can't contribute much else that others haven't already stated, but I'll add that you do orchestral arrangements like no one else. I am humbled every time I start up one of your tunes. Keep it up.

Are you planning to do any more Wind Waker tunes? I'd love to see what you do with pieces like "Wind Temple", "Illusionary Room", or "Arryl's Theme" (tracks 35, 46, and 59 on disc 2 of the soundtrack).

Ahh, finally this has been posted. This was on the Works in Progress forum a looong time ago, and I thought, and still think, that it's fantastic. Great, great work.

Very "clean"... I like it, and can't think of anything bad to say about it.
