Joe Redifer Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 Legend of Zelda 'Hyrulian' Ahh, djp's take on the Zelda theme. Starts out nice and smooth, but then DJP decides to add some funk. Nothing overly great to praise and nothing horribly bad to bitch about, though I'd love to hear a version without those funky drums. Quote
Woffester Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Boy you crazy! The drums are indeed funk-licious, and I love everything about this mix. Very glitchy and squelchy, the orchestral elements he was talking about make the song for me. out of 10, I'd give it a 7.999999 Quote
Supernerd42 Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 I think there are a few bits in where the main tune is drowned out by the funk a bit, but it's sort of neat to hear such a serious and proud-sounding tune done with a beat like that behind it. You can picture Link swaggering around a bar with babes hooking themselves to his arms. I'm no expert on these things, but it's a fun remix to listen to, and that's the important thing. Quote
skawttieboy Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 starts off nice and sweet, then gets into the techno beats....very funky! I like it! Well done! Quote
Ice Sage Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 As a flute player...I just want to say the jazz flute solo in the middle just KICKS! Quote
PassivePretentiousness Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I like this... I like it a lot. I may go as far as saying it's arguably the best zelda overworld thing on the net. The (them) techno-ish effects are actually incorporated seemlessly into the song. I guess that would make it unique. I'm only not giving it a perfect score because I'm a jerk. 7/8 Quote
Wang Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 im assuming the title refers to link as being one from hyule not to be picky, but isnt the term hylian watever im sure djp knows wat hes talking bout btw AWESOME MIX it has found a permanent place on my playlist Quote
Fiyaitup Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 link is hylian, but zelda is from hyrule, so shes hyrulian, hylians were the ancient race that protects the realm from evil or something like that, as ocarina of time explained it Quote
Mia Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Link and Zelda are both Hylian. To be Hyrulian you just have to be a resident of Hyrule, the place. To be Hylian has to do with ancestry / blood, that sort of thing. Hylians have pointy ears. Quote
PokeParadox Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Hylians have pointy ears. Most of the characters have pointy ears (I think? - can't double check now, I'm at work >.<) Link is a Hylian, Zelda is a Hyrulian Quote
JesustheDarkLord Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 According the the LttP Player's Guide, oth Link and Zelda have Hylian ancestry and are considered Hylian, as well as about ten other people seen in the games. Quote
The Original Shadow Wolf Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Oh man, I remember the first time my friend downloaded this off of Napster. Is think it was about 2 years ago. I memorized the words and even tried to convince my friends what he was really saying in the song. Quote
The Original Shadow Wolf Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I really liked the different array of instuments. Nicely done. *I posted the one above this in the wrong area.* Quote
*MP*Evil_Cartman Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 lol man, this ended up on kazaa as "Zelda - Dance Remix.mp3" EDIT: YAY, My 50th Post!!! Quote
devil_man_665 Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 being the zelda expert I am I'll explain things IN hyrule there are several races eg. hylians, gorons, zoras, gerudos... there are many more but these are the ones in concern. just around the time link was born a great was was being fought between gerudos, hylians, gorons and zoras all fighting over who should hold the triforce. The gerudos began to use evil magic to gain an upper hand and because of this the master sword was forged to deflect all evil and it was also given the power to choose its weilder but no-one was couragous enough to use such a sword so it became disused and eventualy used in the seal to hide the triforce in the sacred realm. links family was killed during this was and link was sent down the river and ended his way in kokori village we're he was brought up as an elf. peace had came over the land after the hylians brought peace and the king of hyrule was crowned to keep peace, but each race still had its own respective leaders. ooh seems i got a bit carried away there i could tell you loads more Quote
Corporal Eschebone Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Link has pointy ears. Zelda has pointy ears. Thus, they are both Hylian. End of story. Anyway, DJP has a great mix here, dunno why some of you guys don't like the funk drums, but it could just be the headphones. 87.5% Quote
madjik2k Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 At first listening, this sounds like its going to be soft, then it gets a funky drum beat. Honestly, it took me a few listenings to figure out if I liked it or not and yea, i do. Its diffrent, keeps the original feel of the music whilst expanding on it. The little arabian nights thing that was thrown in at 1:35 sounded good and captured my attention again just as it was starting to fade. Good piece. Quote
ladykaiyu Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Nice....really nice. I particularly like the flute solo in the middle of the piece, and I also like how it starts off kinda soft and calm, then gets a funky beat to it...great job! Quote
MrNemo Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I like this tune, the drum work is nice, and the bass sample really drives the tune. The arabic part with the samples was cool, as was the very convincing flute solo. The breakdown is sweet too. Good job. Quote
Cheeszeman_ Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 hey, good job DJpretzel its a nice solid tune... i often find myself listning to this just for kicks... not bad! (ooh, flute solo = fun for the whole family) Quote
A-RoN Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 lol man, this ended up on kazaa as "Zelda - Dance Remix.mp3" EDIT: YAY, My 50th Post!!! Wow, why doesn't anyone ever credit OC Remix on Kazaa? Great song, Dave. I'd like to hear more from you. As for the 50th post: Quote
LuckyXIII Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I first downloaded this mix ... between '00-'02. I can't remember when. I was in college and was doing random searches for VG remixes (whenever it was it was way before I discovered OCR) and came across this mix. I don't remember the name of the file, but I still have it on a couple mix CD's never knowing to whom to attribute this mix until now. I was going through all the Zelda mixes I've dl'ed and recognized the beat and flute solo and was like, "Holy crap, it's that funky middle-eastern Zelda mix!" The flute reminds me of the middle east. At first I was stoked that it was actually from OCR and I figured it'd be by an unknown. But right there on the playlist it says "djpretzel". The facilitator of this site has stunned me once again. So why do I like this mix? The first few times I listened I didn't cuz I couldn't get past the intro. I honestly felt it was kind of lame. But then I listened to it all the way through and discovered it to be quite unique. I think the flute solo is what sells it. It just comes out of nowhere, and as I stated before it gives it kind of an ethnic feel. Somehow the story (or Legend I guess) of the Zelda games became that much more real to me in terms of imagining what it'd look like played out in real life. So I have no technical praise or anything except to say I like it a lot and it has some good memories attached to it. DJP, please continue to rock on. Quote
Marin Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I didn't like this song the first time I listened to it. I do like the jazzy flute solo in the middle, but the excess beeping in the background is about to drive me nuts. I like it when it mellows out after the solo, but then it goes right back to the beginning. Quote
SixthFlyingMan Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 Okay.... The rest of the song, yeah, it's good, but straight-up pales in comparison to the flute solo, and I haven't heard much past 2:45 'cuz I keep getting bored and jumping back to the flute solo. Hey, DJP, I don't suppose you have a nifty little PDF of the sheet music for that sitting around, do you? I'm a flutist and I'd love to be able to play that. So yeah. If you're reading this.... *jumps back to flute solo AGAIN* DOWNLOAD IT NOW! It's badass, and if DJP gets me the sheet music, I will finally be able to prove to the band that flute does indeed kick more ass than tuba. I'll stop typing now, it's distracting me from that AWESOME flute solo. Quote
