There's an award for fan music remixes? I'm glad you won.

[@O.G.Rose.Michelle.and.Daniel]

They should basically name the award after him.

[@michaelnelson8618]

true. rozen fuggin slaps

[@tigerrace9989]

Nominated, I don't think won

[@nathanielpratt7413]

This arrangement is beautiful, I can't wait to play links awakening remastered I've never played it before.

[@Keitsuragi]

A vague memory of an island. Oracles of age and season. A girl staring off into the ocean. Her song that reaches beyond time and reality itself. Did it all really happen...? Or not?

[@KevinTriforce]

The Legend of Zelda: Chain of Memories

[@snowgriff]

pure chills!!!

[@gabrielshehan]

Beautiful

[@jimmymcjimface2607]

Beautiful

[@shinbo6443]

I listened to your Children of Termina album about 2 months ago, it added a whole new layer of darkness and mystery to one of my favourite games, and now this. You sir, are one of my favourite composers, and a treasure to this earth.

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

I can tell how much work must have went into this. Simply amazing. :-) But I'm also a little jealous- no matter how hard I try, my Zelda renditions never get even close to this level of quality... Keep up the incredible work :-)

[@RozenDJ]

What are you talking about?! You have pretty awesome covers :D - I’ve really enjoyed your Stone Tower and Oath to Order in the past! Thanks for the kind words

[@MaxKusari]

@@RozenDJ he indeed has! Besides, I really love this version, easily the best nomination so far for me!

[@thegamersclub9326]

Both of you are great at doing remixes, you just have different styles and I like both. Keep up the good work, both of you!

[@shoolroyq1055]

Such a beautiful rendition of the song. Also hope you win the award for this song. You deserve it, dude.

[@darialispacheco1317]

OMG I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO THIS!!! GLAD IT WAS YOU ROZEN!!!

[@IbrahimGm]

Wow. I'm a huge fan of your work, but this song was truthfully touching (also Ballad of the Wind Fish has always been my favourite song in the Zelda series). I mean, Link's Awakening was *my* game when I was a kid. I was obsessed with its dreamy storyline. I spent a whole summer replaying it, taking notes of every single dialog line, drawing pictures of every item, character and place… Your song really took me back to those years :_) Thank you! :D

[@epicgamner1139]

o7 to those memories we all have of OUR game

[@AndyKumar]

You had an awesome childhood!

[@Anna-fy6xb]

im glad you had that :)

[@spyrofrost9158]

I never played links awakening. But now it seems I'll have a chance

[@Duhemsounds]

A melancholic slow start, an epic / dramatic second part, lovely and magical elements, there's everything for an awesome cover, love the windfish, congrats for your award nomination

[@grantmcconnell9358]

I am prepared to play the remastered and cry again. Also, I played this for a wedding. It's so moving.

[@snowgriff]

i am obsessed with this hauntingly beautiful melody especially now that i heard this enchanting angelic voice....

[@Kat-Bat]

Seconds in, I immediately got goosebumps. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING! I started crying, I never heard such an enchanting cover! I’m so lucky to have had this recommended to me! 😭😭😭💖💖💖 Ballad of the Windfish is one of my favorite Zelda tracks, thank you so much for creating such a perfect cover! 🔥🔥💕💕🥰🥰

[@DrDolan2000]

She's out there. You just need to look in the right place

[@yks5656]

I have never played link's awakening. Now I wanna play it. Beautiful!

[@TheMojaveLamp]

Love this piece to bits, dude. Keep up the great work! Edit: Thanks for the heart!

[@DarkLink3500]

Just Amazing! As expected from Rozen, you have done it again, Beatifull song, full of perfect beats like a wave of feels! :D

[@HorrorFangirl34]

One of the most beautiful versions of this song I have ever heard. Wow, this really touches my heart :).

[@lykaios8336]

This is so beautiful!! I hope you win, this deserve so much appreciation, the beats are perfect, feels nostalgic and at the same time fresh, thanks, I need it some music to write my fantasy stories, and I found it

[@coltengott1057]

Same

[@prototype4171]

What a beautiful rendition of ballad of the wind fish

[@CosmicSparrow]

I finally bought Link's Awakening (3 years later) and I love the game. I love your version of this beautiful song. Well done :)

[@goblinmoblin4869]

Absolutely jaw dropping. Bravo. This is inspiring me to try and compose. I can't wait to explore your other works.

[@mikumaiku]

Oh my God, it's been like months since I discover your channel with your arrangement of Fi's theme (May we meet again). I haven't recovered my soul completely with that great piece of art :''D And you now uploaded this, another heavenly touching music art. I just broke up crying so much so, thank you! ^_^ Will be waiting for more beautiful soundtracks of you. And... Congratulations for have been nominated for those Awards!! :D You totally deserve it. I really hope you to win it.

[@Sacred_Korok69]

2:44 wow... this gave me some Ori vibes! I love your music, also got your Album children of termina for christmas and i absolutely love it. Well done

[@Darth_father-t5w]

this song gave me goosebumps, it's just so soothing and peaceful!

[@sumeyye90]

you are the king of arrangements...its so amazing alwaayyyss

[@YxndereBxnny69]

I feel like we need to discuss how the STRINGS IN THE BACKGROUND SOUND LIKE WAVES

[@zenith110]

This is the song that is most nostalgic to me from my childhood. I didn't have an N64 so I had to play Link's Awakening instead as my only real entry to zelda that young. It dawned on me much later how much that story was a metaphor for childhood in so many ways. This song fills me with wistfulness, nostalgia, hope, and deep, deep emotion. And that was before this arrangement. Thank you for such a goodtime. I am deeply moved.

[@fluffycat679]

I found this relatively recently and I've loved it to the moon and back! It's so wonderfully pleasant, and boy am I glad to know that notion is about as close to unanimously agreed upon as you can get with fan covers/remixes! Nominated, wow! That's great!

[@unefleurdelalune8767]

This is more beautiful than I can express. Thank you so much for creating this. 💙

[@pnwsk]

This is beautiful! Will check out the full album!

[@fabianmannervik6247]

Hats off

[@valoogee2698]

Just discovered this and fell in love with it! I know it's supposed to be Marin singing the whole song, but I can't help imagining Link being the one singing the song to himself from the 2:45 mark onward :')

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

Gives me Ghibli vibes, particularly the intro. Very sweet arrangement.

[@allmight8576]

Beautiful!

[@reeds7777]

yes. very nice.

[@Medusa-]

I am in absolute awe of the sheer talent in this cover. Indescribably well done

[@tigerrace9989]

What's G.A.N.G. Awards

Gorgeous. Getting me hyped to play the remake this year.

[@Metronicle22]

So sad. Link saves the wind fish but loses his crush and the people vanished.

[@januarygrey]

I've never even played Link's Awakening before and this track has me in tears. ❤

[@GraalElk]

wonderful choir interpretation :)

[@nicolerichards5769]

This is so amazing

[@Kagenoaki]

Love this and the others! I also would like to ask Rozen, do you plan on doing covers of Ballad of the Goddess? Or the ither harp songs from Skyward Sword? If so, please do!! I have been looking for covers of those, but only found Ballad of the Goddess from other musicians and composers. I am so gonna by the CDs of your Zelda music because they are amazing! Thank you!!

[@Masamoone]

I like it.
