Very beautifully executed. An interesting and unexpected collab from two of the most talented people in vg arranging/remixing. The angelic vocals of Destiny meet the master melodies of The Wingless in this rendition of a classic video game theme.

Really enjoyed the first minute of it, and the ending. I was however really expecting it to pick up somewhere towards the minute mark.
While the music is very clean, and the progressions very transporting at times, i feel as though there is a lot of ramble writing. There are parts that are very unfocused. The strings were also a bit of a turn off as I like mine a lot softer, to the point where I'd prefer synthetic ones to real ones if thats what it took to get them soft. Definite points go to thee though for a very different take on Zelda than I am used to. This could easily be the credits theme to a futuristic Zelda adventure, or the opening CG movie (the way the games are going these days). In short, I cant dance to this without wearing a white wig... white wigs are for old people, and dead old people. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BUMP THIS IN MY HOOD? I'd be shot. John demands drums! Good stuff... more dance next time.

Very interesting take on the theme. Kinda like soething you would hear a botanical garden. It would be interesting to have OC take all the main Zelda theme remixes and compare and contrast them.
On another note, the review noted how people take a simple theme and make it complex. Anyone ever thought about doing the reverse? Kinda ringtony, but it might work.

There have been a few attempts at the reverse, taking the complex and making it simple. I've heard a few chiptune remakes of more modern orchestral peices, and OC Remix's own "Battle of Strings and a Cell Phone" is a really neat peice of the same vein.
But we aren't talking about such things here. We're talking about THIS little work of art. To me, it sounds very similar to the recent Beyond Good And Evil mix, with Aurora singing. Both singers do a FANTASTIC job, although I can clearly distinguish their voices. Destiny has a slightly deeper voice, but very pure and definitely pleasing to the ears. Other similarities include the airy woodwinds in the background at times, and the flowing piano. The main writeup for this work really hits the essense of this on the head though. The Beyond Good and Evil mix was working with source material that sounded much similar to the end result than this did with its source material. For Beyond Good and Evil, that was a good thing, as the source material, sounding as it does, is really nice. But for THIS... I'd NEVER have suspected hearing the main Zelda theme in this style. The beginning REALLY differs from the original in vast and powerful ways, making it almost, almost but not quite, unrecognizable. I'd say that's okay though, as it really sets the mood, and when the VERY recognizable tune pops up with the flute, it's a shock and startler, even though you DON'T CHANGE STYLES AT ALL. It just fits in like a puzzle piece, and that's what so amazing about it. The voice, the piano, the guitar, the ambient strings and sampled chorus in the background, everything just FITS together so well. The faint cymbal taps at just the key transition points is a major draw for how subtle they are. Subtle is good! Complexity you have. Variation you have. Beauty you have. Pleasing instruments you have. A tune that really draws me into the nostalgic you have. A voice to call the birds from the trees you have. Anything thing missing? Umm, I think you're missing a fair amount of suckage. Nope, can't find any suckage here. Well done!

Let's get something straight: This is a great remix. Not my favorite Remix from either of the two, but still very good.
It's Zelda all right, but it's also very different. But in an excellent form of different. LOVE the piano part. Vocals are good, along with every thing in the song and the only problem I really have with this Remix is that its too long to repeat so a lot of the same things over and over. Yeah, I know, I'm kinda general, but I'm also not a musician. I'm just a listener. And how can I get a cool picture to appear next to my name, too?

very nice. I've been looking for something just like this for a while now. Plus, the voice reminds me alot of this years E3. Keep it up.

I think Fieari did a good job to sum this one up. The Super Metroid arrangments are still my favorite, but this is certainly a very enchanting re-working of our most beloved of video game songs. This guy is pretty amazing; keep it up, wingless.
Props to destiny also. The vocals are a very nice touch. One can imagine Princess Zelda atop her castle singing to the hills.

definitely great remix. You almost can't tell this is a zelda piece, but parts of the music brings you back from thinking it's something else! Great mix and wonderful arrangement of instruments!
