Saunders Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 'Kakariko Rave Party' Happy! I guess this is what Rave is all about or something, but whatever, this is a fun, happy, fun remix of the Kakariko town theme from Zelda Link to the Past. It even makes a lazy slob like almost want to get up and dance. Almost. Get it. Listen to it at least once to see if "it's yer thang." I certainly enjoyed it. Quote
Evilhead Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 This is an awsome happy hardcore-ish remix of a familiar Zelda theme that just kicks ass! I think it could use a little more treble in parts, but I really love this song.... and by the way, that "Come On" sample is actually from Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, if you didn't figure it out! Quote
Lat Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Nice. A very light, floaty remix of a popular, familiar Zelda theme. This is a very "retro" remix, using 808 and 909 style drums, and a 303-ish techno synth. Also notable is the "Come ooon!" voice sample of none other than Kurt Cobain. Excellent usage of that sound, which is usually heard following a rapid 808 BD line of 16th notes. The general uppidy style of this song, combined with all kinds of cool 808, 909, and 303 sounds come togther to make an excellent remix that should appeal to most techno and Zelda fans. Dig it. Quote

PassivePretentiousness Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Wow, I'm actually glad to hear a techno remix. This is by no means hardcore, but it's Zelda and not jazz nor generic quasi-techno. That should be reason enough for many to download it. 5/8. IT'S FUNNNN Quote
Corporal Eschebone Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 I've been taking advantage of my school's wireless broadband network, and even on a laptop with headphones, this mix is an extremely high-quality, happy, fun, upbeat spin on the Kakariko theme. Is actual rave music this good? 93.75% Quote

Period. I've successfully infested all my school's computers with this song. This song is setting new goals for me, and I want to do something, but I don't know what it is... Quote
Axe Canabrava Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Hehe, I played this song to my mother, and she said it sounded like a Christmas song... I guess she liked it Quote
BowlingThundah Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 My first thoughts on this piece were along the lines of: "Techno? Argh, I hate techno!" I honestly really wanted to dislike this remix, but after the first listen I knew it was a keeper instead. Good job. Quote
Zinkyu Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 You know, as much as I see a lot of the others here with the "I like it" and "It's happy", I just don't like it. I listen to a lot of rave to keep me interested in a lot of the work I do on my computer. Granted, I've never attempted to make my own, I appreciate the hard work that goes into taking time to do something like this. Super job on Zeratul's part. But this is a case of where the song should have been left alone. The upbeatness of Rave should have never been mixed with the calm, soothing melody of the Kakariko theme. It just doesn't mix. It's like oil and water. Granted, this might be the fanboy in me for such a great game. But I just can't get into it. And all the sweet sounds and things that truly make the song a rave--done before. It sounds just so....generic. As if they're reused riffs and techniques from other techno classics. I'm not devaluing Zeratul's ability as a remix artist. It's just that, well...this song sucks to listen to. Quote
NinjaJonny Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I love this song, I just can't enough of it! I think i'll play it in da car and amp up the volume. Oh Ya! this is a lookin good, and i give it a 9+/10 Quote
Slime Master Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Wow!! If I ever throw a dance party/rave I'll have another track I can add to my playlist of music. My compliments to Zeratul for making such an awsome dance track. Quote
maestermatt Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 when you hear this song it's code for PARTY OVER HERE!!! Quote
Gate Jumper Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Wow this NICE! It relly reminds me of Zelda (and a party ). Quote
OceansAndrew Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 An old school synth kickback using zelda 3's source is an idea with potential, but i'm just not feeling this one. The nirvana sample is at a frequency where when it plays (thankfully only twice throught the course of the song), it grabs your full attention, and then when it's done, leaves you with nothing. The variation is also lacking, and though there are a few nice buildup sections and a breakdown, they are both based on the same melody as the main section. Quote
KogeJoe Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Not every melody can be turned into a "rave" track. Kakariko village is such a soft, calm, gentle tune, it really contrasts being put in a dance track. Sorry, it just doesn't "go." Quote
Kojius Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Alright, I'll say what a lot of people seem to have been saying. I'm sorry, I don't particularly like it. HOWEVER- Many people are neglecting to give credit where it is due. I do think this is well done. Nicely put together. It's just that anyone who is familiar with the game, and the piece, already has such a firm remembrance of a quiet, peaceful village, that it makes this difficult to accept. Quote
MechaFone Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 This song was among the first I listened to when I found this place. I took it everywhere with me on the 'net, and learned to associate this song with some of my favorite sites, a habit that carries to this day. Aside from happy memories six years ago, this song is still among some of the best that I've heard. Kudos, rave man. Quote
Ryu2Wolf Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hells yea! Rave party baby! Totally dig the layout on this one. Like the phone effects and well, most of the effects used here. Funny because I imagine this as a softer song. Very fun! Quote
Lucentas Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 A solid mix all around--love everything you threw in here. Great job. Quote
Crulex Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Yeah! Now we're talking! I love the idea of taking such a slow melody and giving it some life in the form of a rave party. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least it's upbeat and enjoyable. Quote
Doomaster14 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 This is THE best remix I have EVER heard! Nice work! Quote
