AAAARGGGG

I already got a few ideas for this. I'll see if I can get a bonus submission up in time. Honestly, I can't wait to hear how folks interpret this piece. As I said I feel it is wonderfully foreboding. Should definitely be interesting. Lets hear how you guys think sonically about some action Sci-Fi video games!

I have more failed songs, remixes, and mixes than I do successful ones. I've been at this for a good while too. I imagine most folks who have done this for a while are probably pretty similar.

Breath of the Wild isn't in any timeline. It's very clearly leaning into the original idea behind the series: that the story of Link, Zelda, and Ganon is a legend that's told over and over again, where the details change slightly every time. The game has its own internal continuity; 10,000 years ago some stuff happened with Link, Zelda, and Ganon. Then 100 years ago some other stuff happened. But that's all internal to this game. The multiple timelines thing from Hyrule Historia is a clumsy and convoluted retrofitting of fandom's obsession with "canonicity" to a series that never really had any intention of adhering to strict timelines. It's The Legend of Zelda, not The Complete and Accurate Historical Account of Zelda. Furthermore, Zelda is a video game first and uses storytelling to frame the game experience. There's no grand narrative planned for the series. Nintendo makes a game that fits into the series thematically and makes some references to other games to please the fans and then moves on to the next one.

Trust me, music production is a long, long road out of hell. I'm still struggling myself and I've been at it for 8+ years (not working on it every day, mind you). So expect to struggle a lot, and it's okay to be upset and flustered once in a while in the face of positive (or negative) feedback from random peeps on the interwebs; it's all part of the process haha.

It's nice that all three have their own unique style.
