What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

This is amazing. The electronica style, the hard beats, the whole song just whaps the listener over the head with talent.

I'm honestly surprised, not because I'm not used to this kind of music or even electronica paired with Legend of Zelda... but just that I'd never thought of this theme as being quite so awesome. Great job, man!

[Bahamut]

This is a pretty solid song - drums carry it a lot, but this is still pretty sweet in other ways as well. Production seems tight for the most part, and I am pretty happy with how things go arrangement-wise in a pretty original approach to an oft-rearranged track.

[Rozovian]

Ekaj's last mix kicked ass. Stupid high expectations, that's the only reason this one disappoints. I mean, it kicks ass too, just...

It kicks ass and shouldn't disappoint. There.

Man I envy the hard, aggressive sound. This is so going on my list of tracks I ought to learn from.

[Ethan10584]

Compels me to think of Link creeping the Fight Club basement. =) Great mix.

[PROTO·DOME]

Yeah seriously digging this, and to make it interesting for 6:00 is stupidly difficult- so props for that.

And I love the fade-out. SEE? I love the fade-out. ^w^

THIS is why OCR rocks

[OceansAndrew]

Total power track- if i wasn't sick and puking, i'd be bench pressing like 500 lbs and training to be a spartan! Awesome beats, cool synth treatment, and a way good arrangement! Recommended!

[Igami]

Somebody hold me, I think I'm about to die from an overdosage of AWESOMEEE.

P.S. Get well soon OA.

[Cyril the Wolf]

Some parts of this remind me of Pendulum, but this isn't really DnB becuase the drums aren't as wanktacular.

I'm not a big fan of that breakdown about halfway through. On my systems it loses some of what I loved about it then, but then again if I were watching this on the mainstage at say... MagFest I would probably just be bobbing up and down and screaming

"FOOOK YEA BIOTCH!"

So, in conclusion, this mix rocks, and my floor shook. Good work all around then.

[Hollidayrain]

WOWWWW THIS IS AMAZING!!!! A few of the last posts were fairly disappointing, but this....wow. I LOVE drum 'n bass, but even if I didn't, I'd be trippin about this. GREAT job Ekaj!

[Sole Signal]

Great work, keep the mixes coming. Loving this.

[BorgMan]

A great take on Hyrule Castle. This mix really has a very distinct, unique feel to it, and I agree with the judges in that it's a very unexpected take on the source but it really scream HEAR ME I'M AWESOME. Great job!

[Nario]

What starts off a simple remix of the tried and true Castle Theme, it evolves into something much more than that. Sooner or later, I lost track of the overall rhythm of the song, and that's when I started to truly appreciate it for what it was: unique, catchy, and overall a great trip. I just let the song take me wherever it wanted to take me, and I didn't mind at all that I couldn't always keep up with it.

Good stuff!

[Kylethedarkn]

Perfect mixing in a genre that's hard to mix to begin with. Everything is catchy and hardcore. Could go crazy to this song in a club setting. Great Job on this.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

BAD

ASS

Seriously, flawless execution.

[!Nekko!]

Wow. Goosebumps instantly at the beat drop. That bass made me cream my pants. Fantastic job on blending all the different parts of the songs (or different songs? I can't even tell it's put together so well.)

[Martin Penwald]

I'll echo what the judges said; the direction taken with this remix is definitely unexpected. But the end result is all the better for it. I like DnB, so this is right up my alley. Digging the way the source tune was arranged.

Awesome.

[The Vagrance]

Some parts of this remind me of Pendulum, but this isn't really DnB becuase the drums aren't as wanktacular.

This is about as DnB as it gets, actually, and very well done at that. Definitely one of the fatter reeses I've heard on here and the drums sound really well done. Big up DOA crew.

[Crulex]

Hyrule castle in the form of DnB? Interesting. I have to say I like it, and I see a bit of a resemblance to a lot of DnB tunes that I love hearing. Not bad, OCR could always use a little more DnB.

[MechaFone]

This mix has a very dark feeling to it. Gives Hyrule Castle a new feel, and I like it.

[enigmafyv]

"--==EPIC==--" is all I have to say. This really brings back memories of the old days when gaming was so new. There's something in the old games that can never become of the new games, I guess because gaming was still in its infancy back then and it was so fresh, just like this song. It could also do with the fact that I was just a kid back then and was very impressionable, so games were the bee's knees back then.

I'm just so thankful for such a supreme site as this that allows people with supreme talent to grace us with their art.

Awesome show! Great Job!

[Csyzr]

its hard to find a DNB mix that isn't overpowering with the....DNB. (think powerpuff girls intro)

i find most DNB songs lack individuality because of that inherent snair/tom/kick combo, (think 99% of all regaeton music) but this mix is distinct and remembers its about Zelda, not your Phat beat. dont forget to turn the light off when you leave hyrule castle.

thank you for this awesome audio.

[Eino Keskitalo]

I love Ekaj's Super Metroid mix and this one is also a perfectly balanced mix of heavy beats and oozing atmosphere. More, please?
