acca Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Not to put down any other Zelda mix on the site, but this is definitely my favourite of the pick. Or maybe Ancient Hero...no, this...wait, Ancient Hero...bah, one of the two And, do correct me if I'm wrong but...isn't the Outset theme a vague mix of the Mabe Village theme anyway? Give them a close listen. Hell, at least it isn't as vague as Hyrule Field being a rendition of the traditional Overworld theme. It took me ages before I relised that one. Quote
brink-of-time Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 this is a superb mix, well rewritten and well played. this is another song that goes in my hall of fame. and by the way Seth Huber, this does not sound synthesized, i think you listen to too much techno, trance, and the such. Quote
Broken Enigma Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 ugh...man i couldn't stand getting enough seashells in the game...very well done but far to classy for me...kinda reminds you of wind waker a lil huh?anyways this was pretty calming i could almost sleep to it.... Quote
Mia Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 *wanders on in after wasting away on Ragnarok Online for the past 10 thousand months* Wow, it finally got to the judges. O_O And made it too XD~ I'm glad you guys like it. Y'know I made it in Fruity Loops. Kekekekeke More later, I didn't sleep last night so I'm kinda out of it. *_* *looks at sig* Whoa... where'd I get a squiggly font liek that.. Quote
SmartOne Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 Wow! I love it! There are so many zelda songs mixed into this wonderful Mabe Village song. I don't even remember what games they are all from but I recognize them. Brings back memories. Thanks for this great mix. Quote
Conqueso Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Mmm, yummy chamber music. Me like. Me like muuuuuuch. I forgot how nice the tune was, too. Quote
VideoGamerJ Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 I liked this one a bunch! It feels like this tune should be in the next Zelda game because it sounds so professional (for lack of a better word). Give this one a try Quote
Whuzzit Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 If I'm ever depressed, this'll lift my spirits very quickly... Quote
JorJorMogBoi Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 This song is great! It's so happy but makes me want to cry too. Kind of weird, huh? It's happy-wistful I guess. (Like at the part around 1:45...) World's tiniest violin indeed... Edit: I'm talking about the Zelda's Lullaby part. Quote
BBB Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Oh man, did Aryll's theme catch me by surprise! That made me like this song about 10 times better. Great stuff. Quote
TSori Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 This is excellent. Easily one of the best zelda remixes o nthe site. The feel captured in this remix fits the game perfectly. The Wind Waker music fits perfectly. surprised t ehck out of me when it came in. Wind waker hasd a few good songs in it, nice to see anothe ronf the m getting some attention. Quote
DarkLink117 Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 no matter how often i listen to it, this song always makes me smile. Keep jammin' on that Harpsichord!!! My rating: :) :) :) -- 7 out of 5 emoticons Quote
Insane2757 Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 I love Zelda music, it has taken up more than its fair share in my OCRemix collection. I am proud to say this is joining the other pieces in my collection. This is a happy little number that captures the joy of playing a Zelda game. Not extremely fast, but not slow by any means. One person said this cheers them up when he/she listens to it... I would have to agree! Well done! Quote
Moppo Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 This song feels a lot like the song from the main town in Paper Mario. Also, the Outset theme is a remix of the Kokiri forest from OoT. Great job Quote
maestermatt Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 this song reminds me of a cheerful xmas scene in a movie. Quote
The Phantom Pianist Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Very Bach. I usually don't like Baroque-style music (it's hard to play on the piano!), but this is awesome. Keep up the great work! Quote
KogeJoe Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I started wondering WHY this remixer decided to speed up the melody, give it to a violin, and add a baroque backrgound... Then I heard why... the Windwaker cameo was not a bad idea, but a bit too... well... predictable. Got a little old after a while. I wanted to hear more original interpretations... but oh well.... Quote
Mia Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I wonder why the supposed source tunes are listed as being House by the Bay and Tal Tal Mountain... neither of which are involved. If whoever was responsible for that cares to know, it's Mabe Village. Duh. xP Quote
Marmiduke Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 This mix has been with me quite a while. Back when I was just nuts for Zelda, I listened to this a lot (as well as a couple other mixes), so there's almost a tattoo of it in my neurological pathways. Brings me back to my time in school, and to a time when I really wasn't into music much at all. In a way, you could say this was one of the bridging tools I used to learn a greater appreciation for music. So even though my opinion of this is that I now think it sounds quite robotic and not as full as it should be, I'm really not going to hold that against it. I enjoy this as an excellent assortment of melodies presented by an obviously faux chamber orchestra, and I don't know whether it would have ingrained itself on me half as well if the instruments weren't as harsh or direct as they are. That's a good thing, in my book. I don't want to say that this mix only appeals to me because I was once naive enough not to hear its flaws. On the contrary, I think this has the perfect middleground of not sounding too fake or too real, so that it creates a hybrid that is strangely superior to anything I imagine in its place. That alone doesn't make the mix, of course. It's the arrangement that justifies the instrumentation. Stellar conversion of the old Gameboy tune and weaving other tunes in makes it a real trip through the Zelda generations. There's plenty to appreciate here and plenty to complain about if you hate synthetic instruments badly pretending to sound like real ones. Regardless, I'm still a fan after all the years and all the listens. Quote
WillRock Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 OMG NOSTALGIA ATTACK. Seriously, if you have links awakening, you will LOVE THIS. Lots of personalization, love the style as well, well mixed, and the baroque section is fucking awesome My only complaint is that it outstays its welcome a little, goes on a little bit too long, but i'm sure that some won't have this problem. Highly recommended, essential if you have the game. Awesome work Quote
OceansAndrew Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 the strings were pretty weaksauce, but the harpsichord sounds fantastic, and it even has a very proper playing style. I think if this had live violin, it'd be one of the site standouts, but as is, it's merely a very good arrangement held back by some subpar samples. If you enjoyed the game, you'll really love it, and even as someone who is merely familiar with the melody, I came away with a smile. Quote
hrvstmn31 Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Completely ignore what the last dude because this song is friggin awesome i downloaded it a day or two ago and can't stop playing it because if i do i'll start thinking about and have to go play it truelly one of my all time favorites especially the riff at 1:40. Quote
Bacon Boy Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Love this remix. Been listening to it a thousand times (which, of course, is a slight exaggeration). Something I keep hearing is a bit of Outset Island snuck into the remix a couple of times. I love it. Quote
Mr. Noir Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Can someone please fix the songs list for this remix? It isn't House by the Bay or Tal Tal Heights! It's Mabe Village (because it's faster) and Outset Island! (Or Aryll's theme, but it seems to slow) There's something else there too but I have no idea what it is. And the remixer themselves have stated this and it still hasn't been fixed after all this time.... It's such a good remix too. It's no wonder why I can't find some mixes on the site. Quote
