This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing games I’ve ever played both in sound design, soundtrack, and art style. Only complaint is how link can only move in 8 directions but everything else con use all 360 degrees.

[@aIkaIi]

I mean, in the original, you could only move in 4. Imagine how much more of a pain that is. Just the aesthetic of old games.

[@Namunamunamu]

@@aIkaIi as a matter of fact no. The control is similar to A Link to the Past. Yes, Link is facing all the time either north, south, west or east but can walk diagonally at various angles.

[@EdouardPicard0224]

@@aIkaIi I actuall don't like the 8 direction movement. i prefer the original movements

[@JayJay16501]

That's understandable

[@Diamoondust]

i have to say i prefer it over the original

[@CloudStrifeZX]

sounds like childhood and a dream, its hard to explain,...

[@darkfire8463]

I know what you mean

[@gib501]

I had never played this Zelda game and I felt as if I was in a dream and a kid again when I heard this, I started crying and I got no idea why every time I hear it I cry a lot, but in a healing way, literally have never heard a melody that felt so dream like, and to read many people experience the exact same dreamy feeling is so weird

[@LemonadetvYT]

I know what you mean

[@twinklehoes]

i cry every time i listen to this, one of my old friends showed this to me a long time ago, it reminds me of them, but it’s still such a beautiful song

[@Velyren]

...i want to be 12 again and playing this on my gameboy color. The nostalgia is crushing my heart.

[@Galgorithm]

love this song

[@elisethespiderqueen9424]

Listen to this music and think about the little ghost who wanted to find his home one last time... 💔😢

[@lightningwarrior10]

Hope you like this song cause you're gonna have to get used to it during the trading sequence

[@zackglickert4495]

Genius writing. I hope to be this good at music writing someday

[@Cliffordlonghead]

Thank you

[@chelseabeckley6696]

I can seriously listen to this for a long time

[@choco5947]

when i first heard it i was shocked by how beautiful it was, to the composer, you should be proud that you have created something so touching

[@Xetaas]

I’m working on a marimba cover of this, it’s definitely a highlight of the soundtrack for me and I think it would sound good adapted for an actual live instrument

[@austingordon3709]

Sounds a bit like Corridors Of Time from Chrono Trigger.

[@JayJay16501]

Your right

[@scala_xl]

Am I the only one that thinks this just sounds kinda sad for some reason

[@snehilpratik6781]

Old version was more melancholic.

[@catrielcontreras2930]

This good but the original has an insane level of nostalgia and tenderness

[@rhinrhino]

Do someone know the name of this instrument?

[@Coyo_Kaleido]

My guess would be a marimba

[@gib501]

Marimba

0 dislikes! Awesome

[@hylianro]

Awesome!

[@Gabi-enby]

I had to give that dislike. To be honest, compared to the original version, this one feels absolutely different in a bad way. Can't stand to hear it for a straight minute, bad sound choice.

[@C3CC10]

@@Gabi-enby This is just an objectively wrong statement. This version is much more complex than the original while retaining the dreamy/nostalgia type of feeling as the original. Since the original could not have many sounds playing at once, this is already a huge upgrade. The addition of extra instruments and background sounds along with the harmony like sounds with the marimba makes this much better than the original.

[@corel7966]

i think this is one of the few remade tracks that i actually like. the rest of them just feels like they're lacking something to me...like, a certain punch. i dunno.

[@windownpc39]

I agree. I like the original music better overall but this is an exception.

[@Zan043]

this sounds creepy

[@tcupknife]

Exactly, I hate the way they remastered this track

[@choco5947]

@@tcupknife it sounds awfully beautiful, I've also listened to the original and this one sounds exactly doll-like, like the remasters art style.

[@snehilpratik6781]

They removed all the melancholy in the switch remake .

[@initech-employee]

not exactly, this song still has a slight melancholy to it.. tbh it almost sounds like the feeling of a false sense of home to me

[@thediscodevil0949]

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds horrible compared to the original? It’s that awful, that I didn’t even notice it was the house theme when I first heard it in-game. XD

[@dealmanner]

Me too

[@kennedymedina4234]

??? Its not awful? Do you just hate relaxing music just in general cuz i can recognize this is the old theme just that they used some instruments to match the vibe of the original
