LOUNGE!!!! What would Zelda sound like if it was played by some Jazz musicians in a laid back bar somewhere in New Orleans?? Perhaps something a little like THIS . . a very stylin contribution from 'AmIEvil', this jazzy take on Link's music is great for chillin as only a little elf can . . dig. .
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the This just feels too mechanical; one can feel the datedness of it,
but even so, I like it. Its got a great groove and blends Zelda
with jazz extremely well.
Definitely worth checking out for the Zelda and/or jazz enthusiast.

Hmm... this was the first of a barrage of legend of zelda jazz
remixes... I guess this may have influenced a couple of that time
period :D

Short but still containing some decent arrangement and expansion,
this is a decent but clearly older mix. The melody is played
verbatim with a touch of swing, and the real progression in the
song comes from the accompanying instruments. The lead samples are
kind of weak and rather mechanical, but it's a super early mix that
helps give the site perspective.
Not my favorite, but it's cool to see AmIEvil doing something that is outside of his normal comfort zone, and for the time, doing a pretty good job of it.

I've loved this genre for so long, only, I never knew what it was
called... lounge? Is it?
I love smooth music like this, esp. of the bossa nova/ samba variety, but even though it looks like "bossa nova" could be considered "lounge," I really kept it in its own genre. It's just like, Jazz with a Brazilian take on it... LOVE IT...
The mixer does a good job with the swing beat in this one, LOVE the re-work of the chords and the instrumentation. Only complaint is that he/she could have done more. Loved the feel, but it just ended too soon. Other than that, GREAT music.

It's an interesting take on the original. But yes, I do get the
lounge feel. It's chill, mellow, and practical. Good work.

Some people say this doesn't have the lounge feeling to it.
Personally, I don't care. This mix is my favorite Zelda remix by
far. My only complaint is that it's not longer!!

This badboy sounds all fake. I don't feel like I'm in a lounge at
all. And there be not enough funk. It just sounds like a robot; no
emotion.
Perform this with a real band and then we'll talk.

A bit short, but I like it. The ending is especially nice, ending
without the resolution. Not a bad jazz song, either. 7/10

This is probably the best Jazz versions of Zelda's theme by far :)
If you know of a better remix Jazz version of this song then please
do tell! Till then, I rate this one a 10.

This music is good for chill'n. This acctualy makes you feel like
your in a lounge. It gets even better when it picks up at "0.50"
then it slows down agian. Too short but still a good choice

I never gave this one a review yet. I must say this is catchy as
hell. Its short but sweet. It picks up more so at the end and I
wish that part would have been longer. I think one of AmIEvils
better ones.

This is a nice jazzy remix of the main Zelda theme. It's a little
short and nothing really special goes on, but it's fun nevertheless
- easy to listen to, and a nice background - beats the heck out of
elevator music. I wouldn't say it's AmIEvil's best, but it's worth
downloading.

Indeed. This track has some good quality sounds. But as Stefan told
me himself, it should have varied more. Though I think it does just
fine. This is great lounge music, and its 12 o' clock right now,
and listening to it, and I am about to fall asleep. Its great guys,
get it. (and girls)
