Ginnsu Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Legend of Zelda 'Fear and Sufferance of a Loved One in the Hands of Evil' This is just simply awesome, especially if you’re a Zelda fan. Mr. Praslowicz really knows he’s guitars. A nice steady beat and an excellent sounding reverb. It does get a little overwhelming around 3:00 but nothing too harsh. Great job Mr. Praslowicz, and keep up the great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Dude. This freakin' rules me. Simply awesome. This is definitely going on the OC CD I'm about to burn to listen to on my road trip to an anime con. Zelda rocks out, deep and angsty. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella guro Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I absolutely LOVE this remix and the way it was arranged. I love the distortion guitars and how it fades in at the beginning - it sounds like the end part of "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles. Also, near the end (I'm not sure where), if you listen closely over all the distortion, you can hear the Zelda theme played by a quiet piano which also abruptly ends the piece. Overall, a definite download. If nothing else, it had a prime spot on my first OCremix Cd after the Rabbit Joint mix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exctmonk Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 We always see link running around by himself, or with a fairy...but what are wars like in Hyrule, the kind of war where 3,000 angry, wronged, and vengeful elf-things go out onto a field and spill the blood of their enemies? While we probably won't be seeing that coming out of Nintendo any time soon, we can sit back and listen to this masterpiece and imagine. And hey, maybe someone at Nintendo may be inclined to make such a game on the Gamecube2? It could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb.G Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I just couldn't get into this remix. I know that K.P. does good guitar work (like in his Blaster Master Mix), and the idea is good, but it just doesn't sound right. I'm certain K.P. was intending for a dark take on the classic theme, but in the end it still sounds too happy. The guitar scribbling/scratching/whatever in this song is just excessive and makes it sound bad. I can't reccomend this song, but you should still check it out to see if it floats your boat.

SPFiredrake Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 The first time I heard this remix, it was the heavy distortion that kept me comin back for more. This song just plays beautifully, and I commend K.P. for all his good work. Best way to listen to this song is with earphones, turned up REAL loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbynob Littlun Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 This doesn't really give it a more dark and forbidding feel in my opinion - doesn't really give the feeling that Link would really have fighting all those freakin' dangerous monsters; especially when I'm thinking of that one picture in the manual of Link hiding behind a stone slab with his dinky sword and shield. On the other side? One of those one-eyed spider things, and it was drawn to be about, oh, forty feet tall. Just about yer average monster in Zelda 1.

Cano Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 this one owns. it stablishes a total sense of desesperation and darkness and presure and angst in the well-known theme of zelda. the guitar work is awesome, and even if it gets a little weird at around 3:00, it still fits completely, as it adds even MORE desperation and that taste of tensionso well achieved all trough the piece. the piano entering during the most distorted part and ending ABRUPTLY with the song is an absolutely awesome crownin touch. that is the part I like most. the ending. simply impressive. Cano and very creative also, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piki Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I love it! It's like KRoq Zelda!! It's make me wanna beat the crap outta the guy that flipped my skirt last year. Um... that means it's a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonatrias Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 This one's great...Definitely, in my opinion, one of the coolest things I've heard in some time. I love the dissonance in it; it almost sends a chill up my spine. This is great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transdecimal Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 This piece is simply beautiful, you guys! The darkness, the foreboding, the pain and dispair - such an wonderfully imaginitive title to give you a small taster of what the track itself has in store. This remix really did move me, I can feel my heart ache when I listen to this, a longing for release from hopelessness... *ahem* I mean, truly emotional stuff! Excellent!

dragonwriter Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Very interesting. It's both dark and triumphant, and it turns the Zelda theme into a song of raw determination. The ending to it is very unique and creative and, like the games, leaves me feeling like there's still more to come. It'd make great final boss music.

Corporal Eschebone Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Yeah, pretty much what everyone else has said. This mix has a great feel to it. Great guitars and percussion, and the constant noise in the background [guitar on constant reverb?] is very atmospheric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalizar Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 wow, this song made me smile as soon as i heard the classic zelda tune played with that electric guitar. the only thing i would improve is the ending. the background sound ends kind of abruptly, instead of fading out.

MrNemo Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Very original take on the Zelda theme. I LOVE the beginning of the song, very ethereal. The electric guitar and the war drums sound kind of like something from a Jerry Bruckheimer film, which I thought was cheesy sounding for a minute, but after listening, it seemed to work well enough. Cool tune, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESHbyESH Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Bah. Annoys me more than anything else. If there had been bagpipes going in the background, it would've worked, but this just sounds like you put no effort into it. The mind screams "Where's the *&^# bassline!" It's too well-known and loved to leave out, so I can't say I enjoy this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protogetorix Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I kinda like how the bass stays the same throughout. It's interesting how the chord changes arn't there, but the melody is still in tune/harmony with whatever chord is present. It's a nice effect, I think.

Marin Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Eerie beginning, but fifty seconds without hearing the melody is too long. When we actually get into the guitar solo, it sounds much better. It still has that edgy feel, but now we have a central theme. Very different from just about every other Zelda remix. I like how the melody comes back slightly in the chaos at the end and then everything but the melody is gone. Still, there are too many things that I can't stand about this piece. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaSephiroth Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I like it, but with the the dark edge to it, it makes me think of a battle from "Shadow Links" point of view. I like it, its very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The intro took forever, and that minor drone was pretty dissonant when paired up with the major melody. Production was really muddy, but there was some decent guitar playing, and I did like the lead tone. The rhythm tone was a bit messy sounding, and the ending was really strange. I realize this is an older mix, and there are definitely some good sections, but the various sections didn't really mesh I don't think. Worth a listen, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.

Marmiduke Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I like the intensity on this one. It's arranged like a bagpipe song in terms of the percussion, the pacing and the tone of the guitar, but there are obvious expansions on the theme that bagpipes just cannot pull off. The final result sounds like hellish versions of Celtic and Indian musical stylings. It's quite a combination. Obviously, the production here isn't clean enough to eat off, but the mix would be something else altogether if it were. What it attempts to do is bring out the darker themes of Zelda (and they are there), which I think it does pretty successfully. I appreciate that it's Zelda from a different perspective, yet it is still Zelda. Which is a lot more than other mixes have done, despite them being technically superior. I'd say this mix was pretty excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevoiy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 this is a very great remix I really like the song thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweex Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Cool intro. Very grating and it creates a great tone. The droning synth actually sounds great to me as it creates a tension in the mix that the original didn't have. The drums that come in are very much like your Rygar mix. I pray they go into a heavy rock beat at some point!. Guitar lead is by far the best sounding one you've had up to this point. Crisp, clear, and very well defined! The track gets a bit repetitive. The "chaotic" parts after playing the main melody create a great cinematic feel to the track. Very Dark Knight, but it is a complete wall of sound. The abrupt ending was actually a nice touch. KP, while I know that this may be a personal preference on my part, I feel like this track had the most potential out of all the tracks you've done up to this point but the dynamics of the track never changed and it was hard to get into it for me. I also missed the chord progression that the original track had. The droning reminded me of your first remix, and while a cool idea, it seemed to cause the track to become a little repetitive. Bottom line is that the production value in you mixes is growing and I can't wait to hear what you have in store next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven McFly Jr Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yup, the electric lead does play thru like pipes indeed Pretzel. And what makes it even neater is that this sounds like something out a technotronic remake of Braveheart! nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
