Props for pulling off a Metroid Prime piece. I don't know if other people feel this way, but it seems to me that the music from the Metroid Prime games is, in many ways, so ambient and indistinct to begin with that it's very difficult to make ReMixes of them that are both good and recognizable. You managed to do it beautifully with this. Just a couple of things: I have to agree with the critique (though not the manner in which it was made) about dynamics and velocity. I think that adding a little bit more variety to it might "flesh it out" somewhat. I liked the changes in the underlying percussion through the song, but it did get a bit repetitive. I would say that some variety in the arranging for the other instruments would have go a long way, too. (Though, in all fairness, I know that sometimes there's a very fine line between acceptable and overly liberal when it comes to ReMixes). Overall, though, the cool jazz feel to it is a great choice. It really seems to work very well for this particular part of the score. This is definitely a ReMix worth downloading.

It's like... Zelda meets Ratchet and Clank. I have to admit, I'm not big on the staticky, panning parts at the beginning and end (that's just a bit too much for me - personal taste), but other than that, I really like this. The trancey feel to the piece seems very appropriate for the Lost Woods theme. Nice work.

Absolutely the best rendition of the Dark World theme. Possibly the best rendition I've ever heard of any Zelda music. The original theme was very triumphant and bombastic, yet most people seem to want to make their arrangements/remixes of the theme more subdued and reflective. There's nothing wrong with that, of course - I like several of those arrangements, too, but it's wonderful to hear the theme brought back to its roots. I also like some of the changes made to the melody - particularly the variation of the melody and the chords in the intro. I'm glad the Jurassic Park thing wasn't too overt. I didn't hear it specifically, but I definitely felt the Williams influence in it. (I was also getting a little bit of a Jerry Goldsmith vibe - did anyone else notice that?) There was only one spot that kind of bothered me (though it's hardly worth mentioning.) At 3:44-3:57, in the transition to the Mountain/Forest theme, the music felt just a little hollow there. I think it was intentionally done that way, but I thought it made the transition a little awkward. But it's a very minor thing, and once the theme gets going, it really comes in strong. But, overall, a fantastic piece of music here. I'd give it at least a 9.5/10. Also, what software was used and how much does it cost? Because I want it! If that's not a live orchestra, it's the most realistic synthesis I've ever heard.
