Hey wow, no offense but I went into this expecting the worst. There's a certain hubris that a lot of "I enhanced the soundtrack to this classic game" people have. This is absolutely not that! This is so incredibly well done. Every track really captures what made the originals so good and helps it shine.

[@kiyoaki1985]

I agree with the sentiment. A lot of "remixes" and "enhancements" go overboard with instruments and very often throw in a pointless bridge section or guitar solo or something. I want to hear the songs as they are, maybe with different instrumentation or a few effects, but no changes to the melody, this does that pretty well.

[@SLDNW101]

I had the same worry that was immediately put to rest. This is both very faithful to the source material and wonderful of its own accord.

It's a bitter sweet joy listening to the music. Brings back certain memories of my teenage years. Especially the time of 1997 when I was 14. That was the time you could see the comet Hale-Bopp in the sky. I played this game with a friend I went to school with. We had no instructions or guide about the game hence it came as a surprise when we thought we had beaten the game but it suddenly turned into the Dark World. We played a lot of games at that time. Zelda, Secret of Mana and the Street Fighter II series were our favorites. These games are adventurous, touching - and from a nostalgic perspective that I have now - touching in a verry personal way . At the beginning of 1998 my friend moved away and we never saw each other again. Now 23 years have past and every now and then I wonder how he did in life, where's he at right now... So every now and then I look up stuff like this video on KZbin and bathe in memories.

[@HailSocialite]

I hope you find your friend someday!

[@miked172]

I'm the same exact way. I played this with a good friend at his house. I was only 13 in 1997 though. And yeah we played all the different versions of Street Fighter II too. Only in my case, I'm the one who moved out of the state. I visited him every so often but joined the military when I was 18. I last saw him was when I visited in 2004.

[@OtterloopB]

Sometimes you forget that amongst all the vitriol, trying to get the top comment by being as snarky and clever as possible, and the belittling, dehumanizing, graceless arguing... That many of the comments on KZbin are from broken, hurting people... each with their own pains and stories. What a revelation it could be if we would all remember and treat one another with grace... Here's hoping that someday, you can reconcile with your friend. I can think of a few people I pray that God would let me reconcile with someday too.

I disliked Link Between Worlds just aping the Ocarina of Time Soundtrack into its moments. I really felt like the OST for Link to the Past was unique to its own tone, and vice versa.

Maybe they would recreate the aesthetic of A Link Between Worlds, but seeing as the game would be on Switch and not 3DS, they could probably push the graphical capabilities so much further. I for one would like to see them try something new with the art style. That being said...I almost would prefer to see the Oracle games remade into a one ultimate experience on the Switch first. A Link to the Past is very much playable and enjoyable in its original form and on the SNES app on the Switch. In fact, it's the most easily playable port of a Zelda game on the Switch! The only other two ports on the system are The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link, and those are both a bear to play. The 2D games that followed the Oracle games are all easier to play and look at than those Gameboy Color ones.

"Guardians" I was like "this is a bit underwhe- OH there we go!" *bobs head* Though the lack of drip drops in the "Dark Dungeons" made me a bit sad. Overall, this is amazong remastering!

[@LouisIsGo]

Yeah, the drips are essential in that track!

[@linkdude64]

Agreed!!! Drips make that track 10x better!!!

[@listnode]

The whistle/flute type instrument in credits is incredibly well done. Also, not paying attention to the description and such, I thought this was an official remake of the soundtrack. Speaks to the quality of it for sure.

[@NERDmNERDf]

I want you, the creator of these tracks, to know that to me, these too are the perfect idealized versions of this OST as well, thank you so much for spreading your passion for these games back to the community, if it wasn't for creators like you, the community wouldn't be how it is today.

[@JaviSM391]

this is still my favorite Zelda game, it has something... can't describe...

[@laylover7621]

I was convinced after hearing Hyrule Field that this is nothing short of incredible.

[@noahnaugler7611]

I couldn't stop my smile as I heard this. I grew up on this game, and this is so good

[@shanewright344]

Me too. I was about 5 or 6 years old when this game came out. Me and my childhood friend at the time played it almost non stop

[@xinzhouliu]

4:43 Majestic castle... Majestic tunes... Tears in my eyes

[@Hectorlph]

Great renditions of all those tracks. Would feel perfect in an HD remake of Link to the Past

[@HyruleOrphan]

This is absolutely stunning. If I didn't know any better I would think these are just uncompressed songs straight out of Nintendo.

[@chado.2228]

It's the "drip drip" noises I miss in Dark Dungeons. My mind automatically fills them in and without thinking I make the noises myself.

[@temphandle01a]

Hey, you did the source material justice. Loving the extra low end depth and note sustain that the higher quality string samples add. Been playing the game the past few days using the PCMs, they really enhance the whole atmosphere. Thank you dude.

[@odg1190]

You know it's good when on most of the soundtrack you question if they actually remastered anything at all. The Prologue track I thought for sure was untouched until I pulled up the original and was blown away at how you managed to make it sound like the equivalent of getting water out of your ears This is so well made man I hope this lands you a good job.

[@SMALLSandJOE]

This is shockingly phenomenal. I love it so much, you did a fantastic job :) Kakariko Village theme always brings me close to tears, this cover was no exception. And I cannot get over how great the Dark Golden World cover here is too! Feels amazing. I don't think I can give this enough praise in just one comment. Well done. I'm beyond happy that this exists. Also, I've come back to this video so many times, I'm surprised I'm just now commenting lol!

[@MartosTC]

The prologue could easily be a sum up song for my 90's childhood, full of SNES cartridges, playing in my brother's room, sitting on the floor in front of that small rounded-shaped TV

[@MagnumDragon]

Tremendous job keeping the SNES sounds but making is sound more modern. Definitely sounds like I felt it sound when I first played it all those years ago.

[@twally87]

I think the biggest difference is the bass sounds are higher fidelity. The SNES took shortcuts with its sound chip and there were fewer bits for lower frequencies in order to save space. Composers approximated a lot of sounds that would typically come from double bass, tubas, etc.

[@devonqi]

Its like when you see crazy graphic mods and say "it looked like this when i first played it" This is the equivalent "this is what it sounded like when i first heard it."

[@InsaneKorean77]

Well, this turns a year old tomorrow.

[@InsaneKorean77]

And now it's a year old! Hooray! happy 1 year anniversary to this!

[@iliketacos6067]

Thanks for posting this. Takes me back

[@jacobmiller4745]

When your recommendations finally give you something worth listening to. Amazing work on music from my first zelds game. This is truly what it sounded like to me as a kid.

[@lazercat7725]

that prologue still gives me chills and goosebumps, thanks a lot for making this

[@Kingu-Sama]

Black Mist is my favorite song from Link to the Past and you absolutely kept the same energy the original had while also making it sound better. Deserved sub. Keep up the great work!

[@brandonfields5928]

Black mist has a sort of"military march" feel to it, it's great!, do you get that?

[@torrent9666]

@@brandonfields5928 It reminds me of the Imperial March from Star Wars, not gonna lie.

[@elemkay5104]

The whole OST is good, but I have to commend you for making the perfect HD remake of the menu music, the fairy theme. No matter how many iterations of Zelda that come out, that is the OG Fairy Theme, and this is the creme de la creme version IMO.

[@palmpilot304]

This is absolutely great. This is probably what the developers would have wanted the music to sound like, had technological limitations not been in place.

[@MrDeanWinchester86]

my childhood... but, enhanced ^^

[@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551]

It's time for a Link to the Past HD Remake.. Question is: Will his hair be pink or yellow?

[@Dejan27]

They have to be pink, the HD remake have to be the best version and not the worst

[@MrFoxInc]

It has to be pink, in a way that it looks good. Like not neon-pink but like a pastel pink. I think it can be done!

[@MrFoxInc]

@MHzBurglar Don't get me wrong, I really like light-brown and brown hair on Link and I wish that would come back for future games. But just for ALTTP, I really want pink hair the way I described it.

[@baltakatei]

Pink ponk.

[@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551]

@MHzBurglar I actually forgot about his brown hair in the concept art! Also.. If you look at Link's clothes in the in-game model, you can clearly see that his hat is the standard issue ''Link's green tunic hat'', but the clothes on his body looks more like some sort of lighter green robe with some markings or inscriptions on it-- I think it's different in the concept art, but his in-game model clothes except the hat is clearly different from his standard issue ''green tunic'' sort of thing, take a look at it and tell me what you think he's wearing. xD

[@Wyrmnacht]

Such a huge part of my childhood was delving into games like LTTP. The nostalgia I feel from hearing this kind of stuff is so powerful it leaves me in goose bumps, thank you so much for this. A million times, thank you!!!! Also, that Zelda 2 Town theme is outstanding!!

[@zangetsu1614]

Here is one of my all time favorite videogame theme ever. I literally skipped directly to dark golden land theme, and i can say without a doubt this is the best rendition i've heard of it. It's to the point, no extra stuff added, no weird instruments, no tempo variations. It's like listerning directly to the game in instrumental form. This. Is. Freaking. Perfect.

[@RenoCocoa]

I also directly skipped to that theme and got instantly disappointed. While it sounds amazing in its own rights it just lacked the oomph that the original had, which was one of the main selling points to me. I could bop my head to the beat and hum to the melody. Here the beat just feels watered down in comparison due to the weaker drums.

[@XpRnz]

The credits theme always get's me..

[@MrBond-xs3cr]

Dude this is INSANELY good. I have never subbed so quickly.

[@Gallo_1.6]

wow. youve just taken me back 30 years. thank you!

[@nathanmotzko5766]

listened to this while I worked and for 1 whole hour I felt like a champion

[@bartholomewthundercatiii3484]

I've always had a hard time deciding whether or not this game or Twilight Princess has the best Zelda soundtrack. Now you've made it even harder.

[@mnmmcg3543]

The Hyrule Field one sounds a lot like Minish Cap's version.

[@ramonvillordo]

noo

[@scuffed2597]

Yeah!

[@SlickDiecast]

I swear our phones are listening! I was just whistling the theme to this very game and now it pops up in my recommended!
