Smokescreened Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 This is an amazing remix, very stirring and quite the moving piece. If this had been done for the start of Wind Waker instead of what it was normally, I would have enjoyed starting the game a lot more. Great work, this is what a Zelda track should be, moving, powerful and stirring. Excellent work. Tony. Quote
robageejammin Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 oooooooo very nice! and yes, i agree more new stuff should be done. Everything about it is just awesome and its a great game to be mixed like that. O yea and.... DJpretzel: "I confess to owning a Gamecube" WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!1!??? "CONFESS"????? dont be an ignorant sheep please. BE PROUD!! Quote
Shadow Wolf Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Darkesword needs a lollipop. First Party in the Snowland, and now THIS!!! WOOHOO! For being only the second person in the history of OCR to remix a Gamecube game, (The first was DJ Carbunk1e with 'That Balcony Thing' From Luigi's Mansion) This is some awesome stuff. An absolutely epic piece that I think surpasses the original in every way. Excellent stuff. Now if you could only remix Dragon's Roost Island... Anyhoo, Good job, Darkesword! Quote

An absolutely epic piece that I think surpasses the original in every way. Excellent stuff. Now if you could only remix Dragon's Roost Island... Anyhoo, Good job, Darkesword! For a good remix of Dragon Roost Isle, search around for Pirates of Dragon Roost Isle by Unknown. Its either on the WIP board or at VGMix somewhere. Thanks everyone for the feedback on my mix. I also posted this to VGMix earlier this week, and as of this post, it's recieved over a thousand downloads. Yay Zelda, I suppose. I really fell in love with the melody when I heard Laruto play it on her harp; such a beautiful theme. I actually started a techno mix of it, but I put that away for a while upon getting the WW OST. I listened to Laruto's theme and tried to emulate it using my harp and choir samples. This is the first time I've nailed the strums in a harp. After that, I just sort of developed it from there, adding strings and stuff, as well as the main theme. Thanks to everyone for giving this song a listen; I think that its an excellent homage to Koji Kondo, who's really, in my opinion, the father of VG music, and a big influence on me. Sure, Nobuo and Mitsuda are geniuses, but Kondo started it all off with his SMB soundtrack, and I don't think he gets the credit he deserves in an endless sea of RPG OST's. The man writes like no one's business. As for the aforementioned techno piece, here it is, made a bit more generic for your listening pleasure. Personally, I prefer this to Ancient Hero. Wind Waker - Super Bouncy Hero Mix 2003!!! Hmm...what else... Oh yes. Mixcount+1 Quote
damathacus Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 I've heard the Zelda theme so many times already. While there's been some brilliant interpretations, particularly some of the jazz pieces, I didn't think I could particularly enjoy another orchestral mix of the main theme. This, however, exceeded all possible expectations. This is an absolutely awesome mix. The best new orchestral mix on this site in awhile I think, and one of the best mixes period to be posted on the site recently. And there have been some good ones. I must tip my hat to you sir. Quote
pixlz Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 i think i posted about this already in the works in progress forum... anywhos! This is one of my favorite remixes on the site. easilly one of the most professional. its already made it on cd's of mine from yer final version. Love the transition to the Zelda theme, its soooooo beautiful. and the ending is perfect too. so erhm. when ya gonna do some more work on that Magus Take 5 remix? >D heehee. ~poof~ Quote
Mr. Dillznick Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Hey that techno mix was pretty fun to but not as good as the beautiful orchestral remix. If this were to be in an actual Zelda game I'd buy it even if the main character was Tingle!! (ok maybe im overreacting on that one , but hey, just tryin' to express my feelings for the song ) Quote
brink-of-time Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 this is a great piece! and done very well and quick since the game came out last year! such a superb piece with a lovely harp and choir, adn just about everything is great! 10/10 Quote
Ticadrius Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Very impressive and thorough. Refreshingly different from Darkesword's usual style. Very neatly put together, a must-download. Quote
Cherrie Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Oh, wow. Oh... wow. This is just... wow. I'm floored. Beautiful samples (the brass sounds real!!), beautiful composition, beautiful everything! I love it! Quote
TheBeav Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 This is an awesome mix. It's so full of energy, and you really get the sense of an adventure when listening to it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from the real world for four and a half minutes. Excellent. Quote
rzorblayd Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Simply AWESOME. This remix really makes you feel as if you're the "Ancient Hero". Great stuff, as expected from Darkesword. Quote
luminaire23 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Not bad... I was a little skeptical when I saw a GCN remix, but it turned out to be good. Quote
Thornless Rose Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 This was one of the best remixes I've heard on the site. (I've been listening to OC remixes for years, but only stumbled upon the forums this evening!) Just want to let the guy who made this know, that he did an amazing job. I really like this remix and I hope he makes more. Quote
Elex Synn Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 This is really nice. Relaxing and all that jazz. Was originally a little sketchy on picking up another Zelda remix, but glad I did. Quote
Tacitus Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Excellent. One of the few mixes I can listen to on repeat, especially while working on backstory for my D&D campaign. Still, I think it coulda used more of the Zelda theme, instead of repeating the "Legendary Hero" theme over and over, but otherwise its a near-perfect piece. Two thumbs up. Quote
sephfire Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Spectacular. A wonderful way to introduce Windwaker to OCR. Great blend of classic Zelda melody and new material. Great strings. A well-executed, emotionally stirring work. Great job. Quote
geekgirl101 Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Holy mother!!!! Download it, download it, download it, download it, download it, download it, download it, download it, download it, download it, um... did I also mention download it? Quote
Zaneta Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I loved everything about this piece, a wonderful combination of instruments and powerful imagery. The harp really works well with the tune along with the strings to give a beautiful and powerful piece of music. Quote
SilverTriNova Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 This remix rocks. When I listened to it, I could see myself playing the game. Even though I am a big LOZelda fan, I will judge this using my opinions of remix music. I liked the mix of quiet and loud. Playing musical instuments seems to be a big part of the Zelda games now, and the song makes good use of the instumental music. Great remix. Quote
Firouzi Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Darksword you done it again man I just wanna give you props for this song and all the others. When I see a mix of yours I DL it w/o question, keep up the good work. Quote
nodspaw51 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Oh, man...this piece is really good. I usually don't care for orchestra pieces, but the uses of the different sounds and melody just really got to me. I like this song so much. It's classic, and if you told me it was from the game itself, i probably would've smiled and said "Hell, why not?" Man, this is definetly going to be one of my favorites. I'm downloading this one, that's for sure! Quote
Typhun Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 If I were Nintendo, I'd buy the rights to this and use it in a Zelda game. Quote
DarkeSword Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 If I were Nintendo, I'd buy the rights to this and use it in a Zelda game. Technically, Nintendo already has the rights to this song. Quote
