Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 'Party in the Shop'

This ReMix from newcomer Dr. Fruitcake is quite the well arranged ReMix. It's really quite catchy all the way through. The only potential problem is the sample quality (listen to that guitar). Though, such things happen to jazz this mix up. I don't think it'd have the same spice with higher quality samples. Overall, it's an enjoyable mix. If you're a fan of Zelda 64, or just happy music, why not take a listen?

sorta sounds like the chicken dance =P yeah its very catchy, nice jazz jumpy music.. give it a try

[Chrono]

heh, this was probably one of my first vgmixes and also one of my favs. I remember downloading it off of vgmix about... 3 months ago now, very catchy... i lub it

Update: This was my FIRST video game remix!

[SargeSmash]

Very catchy. Sounds a lot like the sample set from WinGroove, though.

[RedXIII]

Love it, made me fell happy even though i was having a horrible day yea it is a little catchy. i like the part at about 2:17, didnt really like the beginning part though

[Pyrion]

Despite the "flaws" in the sample set used, this mix has been stuck in my head for the past three hours, even though I only played it twice.

[NSR::Neko]

This remix, while it does kick ass, has been on my hard drive for AGES... why? Because it's a conversion of one of Dr.F's own MIDI sequences, sent out to a WAV file from "Wingroove" the best damn MIDI player in the world. Yes, your MIDIs will sound just as good as this MP3 when you play 'em. You can then download the song for... I dunno... 56 KB?

It's a great remix, but I think a re-sequenced version with nice samples would've done it good, hell, maybe would've even made it amazing. Props to Dr.F for all his great MIDI sequences in the past, and this remix as well.

[Shhteve]

You know, I definitely had a gut feeling that this was too.. MIDI-ish. I was right, Wingroove does rock though, I really miss that program

[DjKwiwwin]

This song is to damn Jovial for me. It is to happy and peppy. Its like freacking kids fun songs that you see in the commercials all the time.

[Majin GeoDooD]

sorta sounds like the chicken dance =P yeah its very catchy, nice jazz jumpy music.. give it a try

I thought the same thing, good remix though.

[DJ DeFlanko]

did any one catch the riff to wipe out @ 2:15? nice touch... coulda used better samples though... all in all nice for a starter..

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNY FUNNY CRAZY CALL IT WHAT U WANT BUT IT"S AWESOME WELL COMPOSED MUSIC NJ:tomatoface:

[Meran Keric]

Lol, I was about to come here and berate you for ripping off one of my favourite zelda MIDIs...good thing I checked who wrote it first, huh. As it turns out, you've made quite a few of my faves.

For your next oc remix, I'd love to hear you re-do the rock remix of the song of storms that you made a couple of years back, it was rad.

[Nineko]

did you ever compare this ReMix with the original? it's unbelievable how much dr.Fruitcake managed to work on this. just forget for a while to discuss about midi quality and think about ReMixing art. I think that in this case we can listen to something awesomely improoved in its features. I also have the midi version of this one and I agree with you all saying that it's funny to use a heavy file format like mp3 to embed something is a little more than a midi file, but I also think that the quality is not so poor at all.

so, this is my evalutation:

24/30 for the sound quality

29½/30 for the originality & ReMixing improovement

28/30 is how much I like this song (overall)

[Drack]

First off, sorry for bumping a 10 month old post.

Glad I'm not the only person who thought Wingroove was awesome for its time.

This song is great! Very original take. I think the Wingroove samples are both a minus and a plus. It gives the piece character! I like the arrangement and instrumentation as well. Nice work!

Hmm, anyone got a Wingroove soundfont or VST I could mess with? I bought the player back in the day, and always thought its samples were among the best in the General Midi field.

[lady zelda]

This is VERY catchy and upbeat. I love that guitar, it's the best part, as well as the jazzy piano during the "slow-down" part. It just adds an amazing twist to the low-key cutesy tune from the game! Haha. This is great stuff, Dr. Fruitcake.

[TheAverageJoe]

I found this to be way better than the previous Super Mario Tropical Remix. The Zelda Shop theme was a great choice for another fruity mix by Dr. Fruitcake. This is one of my favorite Mixes 10/10

[Fishy]

This mix is hilarious. The other day I was around my friends, I set his msn *nudge* sound to play this all the way through. Then I went home and nudged the crap out of him.

I agree with the pretzel, the steel drum bit is the coolest bit.

[OceansAndrew]

Great arrangement, pretty horrible sound quality. It really says something when the judges mention how bad the sound quality was in 2002.

There is plenty to appreciate here, however. The frantic runs and upbeat pace really do give this a manically cheerful mood, and that is something I can personally appreciate. All it needs are some squeaky Japanese girl voice acting and it's a low-budget anime theme song.

This would probably get a 'skip' if it came up on my playlist. It's a shame the samples weren't better, because the treatment given to the theme is very thorough and well done.

[Tex]

Creativity is the actual thing.

Loved it. Amazing song.

[MechaFone]

Has anyone actually been to Dr Fruitcake's site and listen to some of his works? Holy crap. Originality and crazy melodies are his forte. Excellent example here.
