GrayLightning Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I'm going to cheap out on you shariq and just paste what I said at vgm. Very emotional from the beginning. Thanks to the harp playing. Enter the beautiful choir and string passages. Nice brass, sounds like it's muted. It works perfectly with this mix by delivering a powerful yet serene sense of grandness. At around the early 2 minute mark I would have liked the harp louder. The latter half of the mix is mostly, the theme which everyone recognizes. I love the drumwork and choice of drum and percussion. Excellent usage and choice. Great ending also. I think the reverb here is just a little too much. I know you like reverb, as do I. But I think slightly less would have worked better since I don't view this orchestral set up as a huge one. All in all, amazing work shariq. It has a very grand, yet intimate and serene style that's highlighted by emotionally charged harp sequencing. Excellent orchestral display in terms of understanding and instruments used. Great work!

Covak Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Ohhh, this is different and longer than the last WIP version I heard. And I thought that version was perfect enough, heh. This is beautiful! Quote
jezon2000 Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 excellence. sheer excellence. from the beginning it was excellent, with the harp, and the progression to the classical zelda theme was really pleasing to hear. this is just great, i'm glad you chose orchestral as well, good use of choral elements, everything seemed appropriate about it and nothnig out of place, you did it justice. even when it picks up (which is where some fall apart) it upheld. this is easily one of the nicest remixes on the site in my opinion.

bLiNd Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I just started playing this game yesterday actually. GREAT WORK MAN. this is sheer perfection, so much better quality than the actual in game music. I love the buildups and the samples are subtle and superb. Really diggin this mix, highly recommended 90/100 etc Quote
afish Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 There are too many things I love about this mix. The original songs ("The Legendary Hero" and "Sage Laruto") were starving for mixage, and you delivered. I can't contribute much else that others haven't already stated, but I'll add that you do orchestral arrangements like no one else. I am humbled every time I start up one of your tunes. Keep it up. Are you planning to do any more Wind Waker tunes? I'd love to see what you do with pieces like "Wind Temple", "Illusionary Room", or "Arryl's Theme" (tracks 35, 46, and 59 on disc 2 of the soundtrack). Quote
Cessna Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Wow what can I say about this song that others haven't already said. It's just F'ing great. Great submission. Bring on more that are up to this stature.!!!!! Quote
PlatformerMastah Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Ahh, finally this has been posted. This was on the Works in Progress forum a looong time ago, and I thought, and still think, that it's fantastic. Great, great work. Quote
Metasquares Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Very "clean"... I like it, and can't think of anything bad to say about it. Quote

reelmojo Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 A Wind Waker remix, cool. I just bought this soundtrack off of Ebay the other day, still waiting for it in the mail. Anyway, on to the song itself... I thought about writing the standard critque for this by saying what I thought about each seperate part of it, but I decided against it. Suffice to say the word "beautiful" would have been included numerous times. To me both themes remixed are instantly recognizable (and I don't even own the game) and you worked them in together very well. Highly Recommended. Quote
Longinus Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 This raised the hairs on the back of my neck. Great job, I needed a mix of these songs and Darkesword delivered. =Þ Quote
Hadyn Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 I haven't downloaded it again since the last WIP version, but what can i say, this is a damn good remix Very well done ^^ ~Hadyn Quote
Hachiryu Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Wow. I must say, I love this remix. Starting with the clear plucked harp, and then entering strings and a seemingly muted brass, not to mention the choir sample and the snare drum that comes in...it all has a sort of quietly epic feel to it that seems to suit the songs perfectly. I loved the Sage Raruto theme, and to hear it remixed so beautifully is a real treat. Great mix, I listened to it on repeat for at least an hour, if not more. Quote
Zaphlin Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Man. Thank you so much for this remix. I just returned home from a three day vacation to find that my house had been broken into and my gamecube had been stolen. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! It was very sad. Luckily my computer was still here (or I think I woulda committed suicide) and I decided to check out what was new on this site. H00rAy! A remix from Wind Waker. It cheered me up a great deal. Also it reminded me that when my gamecube was stolen they did not get my windwaker game because I loaned it to a friend who still hasn't given it back. Whew. So anyway, I'm gonna hafta get me a new gamecube now. I'm hoping to get one soon before that 4 game Zelda disc deal is gone. So once again. thank you for this song! Quote
conker Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 hey it got accepted - sweet - i was was eaiting to put this one in my official oc remix folder. i loved this mix on the wip boared a while ago - and it's still sweet - hope to see some more zelda - or any toehr remixes from you again - sweet ass mix Quote
Scrabble_Ship Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Thank you so much for making this remix Darkesword. There are so many games that need to be remixed that are new, especially those on handhelds, that never get done. Its Good song, and he did a good job. Quote
OmegaPhoenix128 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 I like the pace of it. nicely done. Very nicely done. Quote
Shion Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 This remix is epic. Awesome piece for me !!! I don't know the original though,so it is just a unique piece on its own for me. I think it is perfect. Expressiveness is great ! Thank you so much Darkesword I am delighted still after the 100th time I listen to it. Quote
Mr. Dillznick Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Holy crap this touched me dude, they should use this in the next game...I love you!! And im not even gay!! Quote
MikeHive Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 That intro with the choir stuff was beautiful. Fantastic stuff. Quote
DJ_Aquagenesis Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 DarkeSword does it again! I like this. 'nuff said Quote
Mystic Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 This rocks. I mean, it takes the Wind Waker songs and sets them up the way it is meant to be. Quote
Alex2007 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Lemme just say WOW! I love how the "zelda theme" is minored here! I've never heard done that way before. The tambourine work fits beautifully here. Very ...medieval sounding. I like the harp in the beginnig and revisited in the end. And the modulation in the background is very choral. What a way to open up Wind Waker! This would've been an excellent piece for the game! Quote
