[@adamholland9034]

We knew this was going to be great, but come on... this is all-time. This was worth every bit of time you put into it. It's not just an amazing half-hour of music, it's the details. There are just so many little details in the music production alone, but then the synergy with the video edit is insane. The Zelda remix world is rich but there is just nobody that does it better.

30:51 the filters make Ganon look incredible scary. A big shadow with glowing round eyes

[@MarblePawns]

Before I had made the video for the Ganon fight, I had gone on KZbin and looked at the comments for various captures of the final battle. Many people commented something similar - that when they were kids playing the game on a CRT, you couldn't really see ganon in the fight and he just was a scary silhouette. Which, to most people, was more intimidating as a kid than the actual Ganon you couldn't see against the screen reflection/brightness. So that's where the idea came from! Wanted it to be as shrouded and intimidating as it was as a kid. By the time Link delivers the final blow, the light has returned. Nice catch 😏

[@kushalaxx]

@@MarblePawns Having great visuals with an awesome soundtrack just makes the music so much better. I listened to this last battle theme the most because of the great visual alone. Very well done. All soundtracks are super awesome though, they capture the essence of the originals perfectly

[@timothymckane6362]

Hearing the Forest Temple in this version gives me goosebumps in a good way in hearing how mysteriously ethereal it sounds.

[@antoineboucher9859]

The added reverb on the rattling sounds make them sound so much... Bigger, if that makes sense? The music sounds gigantic. I can't express my thoughts properly, but basically, I think this is what Gabe Lewis from The Office meant when he said "Imagine one instant of a song expanded to be the size of the universe."

[@GSVRemix]

I never liked the "censored" version of Fire Temple, but this rendition did it justice lol. I like how you managed to stitch Bolero of Fire on top of this song, giving it a new vibe but also keeping the original tone, and it's my favourite of this collection. I'd love to see a take on the original version with the chanting.

[@Someone-bf9ml]

Well... I’m actually glad they did a censored version. I mean this is literally using words that are from the adhan. And we could CLEARLY HEAR in this version * there is no other god but Allah* in Arabic, and using the name of the god of a religion was kinda disturbing, but koji kondo didn’t know about it which is why it was the first version and got removed.

[@infraredgoldfish]

@Someone as a Christian, the statement "there is no God but Allah" doesn't offend me. I may disagree or have a different perspective on the matter, but that doesn't make me think there needs to be censorship of the original. I thought it was beautiful personally.

[@GSVRemix]

@@infraredgoldfish Agreed. I think art and religion should be separate.

[@infraredgoldfish]

@GSV the fire temple part is fire though... and the mix with the ocarina song is so legendary 🙌

[@GSVRemix]

@@infraredgoldfish Yeah, I love how Bolero of Fire keeps repeating (in true vapourwave fashion lol) and how that gives the song an unresolved feeling, since you expect it to continue but it goes back, while the Fire Temple part fills the the rest and the drum machine ties it all together. It's really something else.

[@trevornolife7961]

Hot Damn son, it's dangerous to go alone. Take this Masterpiece with you!

The Ice Temple /Water temple section of this game is so underrated. Prob my fav part of the game. That harmonic minor part coming out of that major 1 to minor 1 chord slaps

[@hunterboucher3070]

I love the continuity detail you did with adult link at 28:34. After I saw you let child link get hit by the pots after entering the Spirit Temple, I wondered if you'd have adult link block them upon his re-entry showcasing his memory of them hitting him as a child. Sweet attention to detail.

There is something about OOT's temple themes that just hit the right feeling that no other zelda game can for me. Maybe because it was my first ever Zelda on the N64 and the nostalgia is so strong.

[@ledfloyd9035]

There will always be something special about ocarina of time. The way the game came together gives us a reminisce that will not soon be forgotten. The saddest part of ocarina though is the hero of time himself. Banished from his homeland, abandoned by his only real friend and lost in a forest never to escape.

I gotta leave a comment here expressing my utmost appreciation for these videos!!! I've been following your work since zeldawave came out 6 years ago, right when I started my undergrad degree. Your videos and music have pulled me through so many all-nighters and rough times, I cannot say how many times I've had these videos on repeat, just blasting through my headphones. There's just something about the way you blend the music, beats, and themes into something special, all of your work is a true gem.

[@SamCityLPs]

Bruhhh the spirit temple one hits the soul hard

[@jasoncporter]

Been listening to this one on repeat for a while and just had to bounce in to say I cannot believe you were able to weave the ocarina warp songs into their respective temple themes. That in and of itself is an incredible feat considering so many of them aren't even in the same key originally or follow the same chord progressions, yet you were able to make it work. The Minuet of Forest takes on an ENTIRELY different vibe when worked into the Forest Temple theme, I'm just so blown away by it all. Was really happy I was able to get a vinyl release of this thing, this is my go-to record for when I'm cleaning the house.
