So far...

- I like how the drums at 1:50ish and that harp-sounding instrument at aroung 3:00 pick up the tempo.

- There's one particular section running through 4:30 where what I assume are the snare drums have their biggest presence. It's a very unique-sounding snare drum sound; I haven't heard anything like it before.

When the drums come in full force, all I can think of is Zelda.

Not a bad thing. This is another excellent mix. Case-in-point: I usually don't get into orchestral stuff much to begin with.

Oooh, this is a nice one.

I enjoyed it, it's a nice arrangement, in my opinion. 'though, like the other guy said...it does rather remind me of Zelda at times. Though that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Not quite as dissonant of a remix as you'd have expected from Shnabubula, as there's a fully coherent yet weird sounding melody flowing throughout most of the track. When the drums start at 2:30, you'll know where it takes you as a listener.
This i think is his finest remix sofar. Excellent work as always, Shna

I have been waiting for a long, long time for this game to get a remix. It's one of the greatest games I've ever played, and yet hardly anyone knows about it.

That being said, this remix is great. I love more traditional orchestral-sounding remixes, and this is exactly the kind of thing I like listening to. It starts off very calm, and builds quite wonderfully to an exciting climax. It also evokes images of the game itself, and brings back memories of running around outside Inoa Village, destroying slimes and lizardfolk while trying to stop the forces of Melzas from destroying everything.

No doubt about it; this gets two thumbs up.

I have to say that my love for Shna's mixes is unendless. The music he creates makes love to my ears in the candlelight. While this isn't my favorite mix of his (I dig Pegasus Boots SO much and Anachronism holds a dear place in my heart) I definitely like it. It shows what an all-around musician he is. I'd love to hear Shna attempt something in genre that isn't what you'd expect. Like a rock piece. OOH! A collab with goat or maybe Ailsean! :D If you really wanted to rock my world, I'd love to see the return of CotMM and Shna collabing with him. Holy crap, that would be BUCKETS OF AWESOME.

Another 'different' approach from his norm (his last submission was, too). Infact, I'd go as far as saying that if he didn't send it to me directly or hadn't known it was him beforehand I wouldn't have guessed... at least not until about 2:48 where it becomes more apparent.

A man of many tricks it would seem. Piano solos, orchestral tracks, and any other varieties of weirdness =p.

This mix is pretty unique. The melody is strange, but surely enchanting, and grabs your attention throughout the whole mix. The orchestration is awesome, as well. When the drums come around everything just...clicks...and makes this extremelly listenable mix.

Very different and unique, yet beautiful. Two e-props for Shnabubula!
