What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

I'm feeling this. I wish I were more familiar with the GBA Zelda theme, but I LOVE how the OoT was handled. As noted, it was conservative, but it was given such an emotive, warm flavor to it.
I know that Gray mastered/fixed this and I didn't see any comments from the judges about this, but I heard some major clipping, especially on the left late in the song. I usually don't get many false-positives from my headphones but I don't know.

So, Dhsu, when are you going to rework Woods of Healing?

"This solo piano arrangement sounds like a theme they'd play in a film about someone who'd just been diagnosed with a terminal illness..."

You make me smile djp.
Anyhow, this is a great mix. It feels...deep. Another remix you made me fall in love with Dhsu. Also, props to gray as well.

I got this from the RPG Splendid site I think ... and then, like an idiot, I never really listened to it. More fool me.

Really is a melancholy piece, but one strangely suited to the world Zelda is set in. There's been too much black-and-white morality/emotion in most of the Zelda games - and this track shows the potential for more depth in that sense in the franchise.

Good work Dhsu, 6 (>75%)

Very beautiful piece, I have never played this game, but now I really get the urge to buy on and do just that. Can´t really say which are OOA and which are OOT, but I believe it´s around 0:30 I think, that´s a beauty spot right there. Anyhow, I love pianoremixes, so I can´t help it that I´m giving this remix the highest grade possible, but when I listen to the excellent pianoplay, both sad and hopeful, I just think it deserves it real good.

I hope Dhsu and GL cooperates more in the time, that maybe has a small chance of happening maybe, but if the results are this good, then PLEASE do a follow-up!

The piano was played nicely, as I always can expect from Dhsu. And GrayLightning, congratulations for the great work on the side of the production quality of this mix.

Very nice - almost Satie-like. It probably could have used a contrasting middle section, but it's fine like this as well. I desire... a second movement. :o

I've been waiting for a remix of one of the Zelda Oracle games for a long time. Neat.

I suppose I neglected to mention that Nayru is the goddess of wisdom in the Zelda universe, as well as the Oracle of Ages in Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Nayru's Love is a spell in OoT that makes you impervious to damage for a short period of time. I thought it'd be a clever way to reference both games with the same title.

Sil: A lot of people have mentioned the Gymnopedie resemblence...I can only assume that Kondo had Satie on the brain as well when he composed the OoT title theme. :)

Thanks for all the comments, guys! Vig...I had no idea.
