When I saw Ballad of the Windfish on the list of songs I thought "Oh, no. Someone's going to butcher one of my favorite songs." Boy, was I wrong. Leading with the acoustic was definitely a good choice. If it were outright, electric then it might have ruined one of my favorite aesthetics of it. The slow build from usual, calm, and sweet that it is to the, time to finish this, was very well executed. Very nice.

Considering that Link's Awakening is my favorite Legend of Zelda game, it should be no surprise that I absolutely loved the shit out of this medley. Seriously, every segment was fantastic, especially the Mysterious Woods one. I heard that song so much when I was a youngster, since, when I first started playing, I was rather bad at the game. Thus, nostalgia bombs were dropped.
