25YEARLEGEND: A Legend of Zelda Indie Game Composer Tribute

25YEARLEGEND was started as a small indie session, but quickly grew into a massive project with the help of all the indie artists involved. Each featured composer has worked on a notable project in the indie game community while being influenced by the music of Zelda some time in their lives. Hopefully this project will make the 25th anniversary of Zelda that much more enjoyable!

This came out on the 14th anniversary of when I first played OoT. How appropriate.

Life is good, sometimes.

I bought the Skyward Sword bundle two days ago, soundtrack included, and now this? My computer is now loaded with Zelda goodness!

Wow, I'm really impressed. Awesome work everyone! It's great to see another Zelda album!

A big thanks to everyone involved for this album -- it makes the perfect companion to the special orchestra CD with Skyward Sword; awesome music back-to-back.

Well done!

Wow. I just absolutely love this album. Two pieces from Link's Awakening, one of them Ballad Of The Wind Fish, finally in a song variation. Amazing.

Some noteworthy songs: ALL OF THEM!!!

I never expected a dance version of "Calling The Four Giants," but it's well done. "Link's Final Battle" is a little tragic after reading the description, but luckily in Zelda II there's a life system, so he'll be back to kick some a$$. Temple of Seasons may be repetitive, but it is well done, short, and catchy so I'm impressed.

Closing the entire album, "Zelda's Graceful Nightmare" is one piece of work. Like "Calling The Four Giants" I'd never expect a metal mix of Gohdan, but it works and it works WELL. Fitting that it's the longest piece, it flows well from song to song, leading to the true nightmare at the end. So many sound takes all jumbled up together, and Ganondorf's final laugh...I'm going to have graceful nightmares from here on in.

I love the album, very well done to all of you, and here's to another 25 years of happiness

Love the feel and look of the trailer! Great work, Jose (I'm assuming you did it). I am just blown away by the conception and how great the execution is.

What a list of contributors! This is definitely something different (and amazing) for OCR.

This album is so unique and varied. There's massive amounts of creativity on show here. I had a blast listening to it!

The only think I'm not a fan of is the mastering on several of these tracks! Audible clipping isn't fun. Did one person do mastering across the whole album, or is it just the loudness war taking its toll?
