+Xeno87 Link's Awakening is still quite playable by today's standards of game design, though. I'm not saying it doesn't deserve a remake, but I think the original Legend of Zelda needs it more desperately.
Came here after the links awakening announcement! I so wish they would give players an in-game option to toggle to this channels orchestral arrangements of these songs. They are so well done!
I have this full album on my phone. I’m a truck driver, and I was traveling through the Sierra Nevadas today, this song played just as I was approaching the base of the range. Talk about your perfect timing. It was epic!
+RebeccaETripp In my case the WHOLE track :) Surely Tal Tal Mountain Range is one of my favorite places in the Zelda sagas (along with Forest Temple from OoT [the place I'd live if I was Link, and surely Link lived there and was there when he became Hero's Shade], Ancient Tomb from Oracle of Ages and the whole Dark World from ALttP).
This is by far the best arrangement of Tal Tal Heights I have ever heard; it's an incredible rendition of an already awesome song. It's probably the best song in the game, and arguably the best song in the entire series, and you somehow made it better. Amazing work!
Nine glorious minutes of my favorite video game track! Amazing! This is the best version of Tal Tal Heights I've heard to date. I can't wait to hear the remaining tracks in the game.
I'm so glad you kept in those "ting" (for lack of a better description on my end) sounds at 4:39. The whole arrangement is amazing but there's something oddly satisfying about those 4 notes.
The Second Narrator That's a good mandate. This shit is top tier soundtrack material, especially when you realize they were working with Gameboy era sound technology. Best to keep it as close to the source as possible, there really ain't much worth changing.
I always read your vid descriptions. Reading your thoughts on your work process really adds to my enjoymeny of these pieces. I'm so glad I found this. All of these sound amazing!
This series of reorchestrations, your comments on how everything works together, and the accompanying gameplay footage inspired me to get out my old Game Boy copy of Link's Awakening again and start playing it for the first time in several years. Still never reached the end, but I'm giving it another try thanks to you.
From the entire series, this is my favorite song, and your arrangement is absolutely amazing. It brought me to tears! Thank you so much. I can't wait for the full album to be available.
Super good job! I love the changes and the overall pacing. It keeps the song super interesting and makes sure that listeners don't get bored. Well done!
I haven't really heard anyone talk about this but I'm really excited to see how Nintendo re-orchestrates the track for Link's Awakening because that game had really good music
After so many years, I find out that you can use cuccos with the feather to fly in link's awakening. That would've made the game so much easier for 10 year old me
First of all, this is awesome. Words simply fail me. On another note i feel like the music is in infinite crescendo like the shepards tone illusion. (until 7:10)
Follow-up to my comment from before. I finally finished Link's Awakening after these videos inspired me to start playing it again. It was really a great Zelda game and may be the best of the 2D installments in the series (still not sure whether ALTTP is better or not). Thank you for the inspiration.
I've been listening to this gem of a remix for years but i write only now that i absolutely LOVE more than any fan remixes i've come through (thanks to you i found the switches remixes boring as hell (; ) as well as the windfish ballad one . This is one of the first thing that come to my mind when i think about adventure no kidding ( i even listened to this most of the time during a trip in a high lake in Italy (years ago) . I even had this on my playlist during a boat trip and listened to tough about it when i saw lands . I'm doing a bit of a monologue here but i just want you know that i adore this track ... And i know i'll still come here years from now , this music has become special to me . Thank you so much and great job !
I already loved Tal Tal's music, sometimes just leaving the game there to let me listen to it. But now I love it even more, thanks to this. This is amazing. By the way, I liked the gameplay window. The part where a piece of power is dropped, Link hesitates and then decides not to grab it was so cool and true. The in-game music for that thing is not welcome, especially when listening to this.
I just did this theme for my own channel and came to see what yours sounded like. ...Outdone again. Even the sound samples are better quality. Admittedly, I did rush mine. But if only I had taken a little bit more time...
Cosmoclaste This arrangement (and indeed the original BGM) has a very "New Game Plus" feel to it in that it is the sort of music you'd hear upon embarking on the same adventure for a second time to set things right. That's all i'm going to say about that 8-).
I know its prob not ganna happen, but if Nintendo ever decides to do a remake of this game i hope they include your tracks. This seriously good. This is coming from a huge links awakening fanboy. Thanks for your work : )
Lol I was just thinking "hey I'd like to listen to that good orchestrated version of tal tal heights... The long one, like 9 minutes, which concert was it already ?" Oh wayiiit, it was fan made. Ok, seriously well done :D
Thoughts: Beginning - Holy crap so epic, immediately into favorites and my hype playlist In between - Eh, getting a bit muddled, not sure what to feel. 1:30 - Oh frig yes. 2:15 - Alright, alright. Good stuff. Not great, but there will be plenty of filler in this marathon of a song. 2:42 - Really like what you did here. Some key changes / melodic changes. Representing the difficulty of the mountain's trials for Link maybe? It's no cakewalk. 3:40 - :( Liked how you matched the mood of the video feed. 4:23 - And there it is again, that excellent instrument choice. 5:10 - Again, good stuff. But at this point I'm wishing it was a bit shorter. I mean, even the Zelda 25th Anniversary soundtracks aren't longer than 3-5 minutes unless it's a medley. 6:59 - Still good, but now I'm really wishing it was shorter. Hype cannot persist this long. 8:22 - Great buildup for the ending. 8:35 - This variation is really cool. But then...it repeats? I don't understand why you chose to have such a long song, a veritable epic piece, but then have a fadeout at the end instead of a suitably epic finish? Overall, awesome job. REALLY love the beginning.
Talgoran Thanks for your extensive analysis of my piece. I made the piece looped just like the original because I treated the project as a remastering of the soundtrack. You can check out my playthrough video where I replaced all the music with my own in the same context.
The Second Narrator I love the entire theme. It's awesome! I really hope you'll be doing more Zelda remakes. The older games could really use it. Anyway you earned a sub ;)
You should totally do Crystalis, idk if you've played it but kinda like Link's Awakening I think it's a black sheep of the fantasy game family that needs a little more love and definitely has a soundtrack that could give a lot of space for talent like this to do some wild stuff.
I was...:underwhelmed by this track in the remake. All I kept thinking was “this is ok, but man...The Second Narrator really captured the essence of the original better!” I even muted my tv while in tal tal and put this on.
2:15 You DON'T collect pieces of power in Tal Tal Heights. You let that damn theme play!
THANK YOU
Unless the sword your swinging is near it, in which case...
@@Magma_Seb no you just let an enemy hit you a few times - same for Guardian Acorn
Red Clothes, never need power again. Though if you do, it's just icing. Especially with the magic sword.
I can't even leave the screen without letting it play out, best zelda song hands down and I'll fight anyone who says different
So Nintendo, where is the 3ds Remake of Links Awakening? The soundtrack is nearly finished!
I'm still wishing!!!
Yeah!
Just emulate it with a HD filter. Looks gorgeous
+Xeno87 Link's Awakening is still quite playable by today's standards of game design, though. I'm not saying it doesn't deserve a remake, but I think the original Legend of Zelda needs it more desperately.
Its remake is a dream of the Windfish.
As soon as I saw the news about the remake.. this song started to play in my head. By far my favorite legend of of zelda music piece.
Came here after the links awakening announcement! I so wish they would give players an in-game option to toggle to this channels orchestral arrangements of these songs. They are so well done!
I have this full album on my phone. I’m a truck driver, and I was traveling through the Sierra Nevadas today, this song played just as I was approaching the base of the range. Talk about your perfect timing. It was epic!
Woah... funny how music can hilight the mood at the right time😂😂😂
It´s happening!!!! Link's Awakening Remake for Switch!!!!
3:05 to 3:36 makes my heart melt into a little pool of bliss.
+RebeccaETripp In my case the WHOLE track :) Surely Tal Tal Mountain Range is one of my favorite places in the Zelda sagas (along with Forest Temple from OoT [the place I'd live if I was Link, and surely Link lived there and was there when he became Hero's Shade], Ancient Tomb from Oracle of Ages and the whole Dark World from ALttP).
Michael Prado
Good choices, Michael! :D
XDD
Absolutely mind blowing. EXTREMELY well done!
I am hoping the entire finished album will go up on Loudr, as I can guarantee you a purchase!
Doesn't it sound like a song that could come out in twilight princess?
This is by far the best arrangement of Tal Tal Heights I have ever heard; it's an incredible rendition of an already awesome song. It's probably the best song in the game, and arguably the best song in the entire series, and you somehow made it better. Amazing work!
Arrangers of the Zelda 2018 concert: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
The electronic remix by DiscoDan in OC Remix is also godly. And I also love the Heroic mix of the remake!
Tracking up Tal Tal again soon enough!
First a remake of Link's Awakening, and now a Zelda edition of Crypt of the Necrodancer.
The hype keeps bringing me back here.
Best song in the game, for sure.
Along with Ballad of the Wind Fish.
Your Right about that one too.
and southern face shrine :p
Nine glorious minutes of my favorite video game track! Amazing!
This is the best version of Tal Tal Heights I've heard to date.
I can't wait to hear the remaining tracks in the game.
I'm so glad you kept in those "ting" (for lack of a better description on my end) sounds at 4:39. The whole arrangement is amazing but there's something oddly satisfying about those 4 notes.
glad you enjoyed it. i mandated that everything from the original song remain in the arrangement
The Second Narrator That's a good mandate. This shit is top tier soundtrack material, especially when you realize they were working with Gameboy era sound technology. Best to keep it as close to the source as possible, there really ain't much worth changing.
My favorite version of one of my favorite Zelda tunes ever!
this song would be PERFECT in ssbb
One of the best songs of that game generation beautifully done in these generation. thank you for those memories mate!
Arguably the best tune from the game that defined my childhood. Love this.
I always read your vid descriptions. Reading your thoughts on your work process really adds to my enjoymeny of these pieces. I'm so glad I found this. All of these sound amazing!

1:07-1:17
2:04-2:24
You nailed it man. The arrangement is amazing for this part, which is my favorite part of the song. Well done.
percussion is soooo on point
Anybody here because of Link's Awakening HD being confirmed?
Me. It looks cute and I'm ready to play this game again.
To be honest with y'all I never actually got to play Link's Awakening aside from the first few minutes on an emulator (and it was on my Wii no less)
You know it
O/ I'm ready to relive my early gaming history!
Me. I now have a reason to buy a Switch.
I was hooked on this in the first 10 seconds. You're brilliant. That's all there is to it!
Matt Wheeler I love your profile pic.
Andrew A lol, thank you, I finally found the oneXD
Wow that Tal Tal Heights arrangement is really awesome ! It reminds me all the epicness i felt the first time i reached that place in the game :)
I'm actually in awe. This is a masterpiece. Well done. Bravo.
From the entire series, this is my favorite song, and your arrangement is absolutely amazing. It brought me to tears! Thank you so much. I can't wait for the full album to be available.
This is one of the best pieces of gaming music that I have ever heard
Just epic ! Best song in the game, and an epic arrangement ! Love it !
2:38 - [Nostalgic, silly smile on my face] I did that too...
2:42 - [Grinning intensifies] HA HA! I DID THAT TOO! xD
Man, this one is fucking awesome.
I may have listened to it 50 times.
I will share your work my friend! For sure!
Absolutely incredible
Favorite Zelda music of all time. So grand, so epic, so Legend of Zelda!
Wow, you made the best track in the game even better, congrats.
I love you for this! Really an Epic Arrangement!
Super good job! I love the changes and the overall pacing. It keeps the song super interesting and makes sure that listeners don't get bored. Well done!
You did a phenomenal job on this!
Yes yes yes! I've been waiting for this one!
Pure Epicness! Unbelievably well done. Love the arrangement and the instruments you chose! 💜💜💜
You sir, are exceptional.
Excuse what I'm about to write but...WOW SO FUCKIN' AWESOMEEEEE!!!! Nailed it to the last note!
I haven't really heard anyone talk about this but I'm really excited to see how Nintendo re-orchestrates the track for Link's Awakening because that game had really good music
Amazing result from excellent (and unjustly forgotten) raw material, congratulations
This is by far (far far) the most beautiful arrangement of this song. Incredible job... I still listen to it regularly, so epic !
Same! Still listen to it here and there since 2017
After so many years, I find out that you can use cuccos with the feather to fly in link's awakening. That would've made the game so much easier for 10 year old me
Same lol
Can you do that in the remake? Lol
The guitar is so perfect!
I need to get around to playing this more. It's such a good game.
its the best zelda tbh so under appreciated.
First of all, this is awesome. Words simply fail me. On another note i feel like the music is in infinite crescendo like the shepards tone illusion. (until 7:10)
Follow-up to my comment from before. I finally finished Link's Awakening after these videos inspired me to start playing it again. It was really a great Zelda game and may be the best of the 2D installments in the series (still not sure whether ALTTP is better or not). Thank you for the inspiration.
You've put beauty and epicness into this, I like a lot your work :)
First we get a Link's Awakening remake, and now an awesome reminx of this for Cadence of Hyrule?! I feel spoiled.
Jesud and Mary bless whoever arranged this masterpiece! This track is extraordinary and gives new energy to both the mind and heart
I've been listening to this gem of a remix for years but i write only now that i absolutely LOVE more than any fan remixes i've come through (thanks to you i found the switches remixes boring as hell (; ) as well as the windfish ballad one .

And i know i'll still come here years from now , this music has become special to me . Thank you so much and great job !
So glad I found this! And I really don't think this piece is too long. Or that "hype" must persist for a certain amount of time. It's great stuff!
The main theme gave me chills. Good work.
At 4:30, the music is hilariously fitting to that poor moldorm bouncing around. XD
You've discovered the secret of the whole theme... it is based upon the silly mode of ambulation of a terrace-roaming moldorm!
I like this very much. CB
I also thought the Symphony of the Goddess rendition was epic. Both yours and the concert's orchestrations are great.
... and Thank you for making this long enough, not like the short original repeating... Tyvm.
The whole little sequence around 4 minutes was great.
Thank you. I discovered this video today and now I'm happy.
So much nostalgia! - amazing!
Top notch stuff!
I already loved Tal Tal's music, sometimes just leaving the game there to let me listen to it. But now I love it even more, thanks to this. This is amazing.
By the way, I liked the gameplay window. The part where a piece of power is dropped, Link hesitates and then decides not to grab it was so cool and true. The in-game music for that thing is not welcome, especially when listening to this.
1:10 Got the chills.
EPIC! Loved Link's Awakening
LMAO I searched for Tal Tal Heights Baroque and this is what showed up. AMAZING!!!
beautiful
I just did this theme for my own channel and came to see what yours sounded like.
...Outdone again. Even the sound samples are better quality.
Admittedly, I did rush mine. But if only I had taken a little bit more time...
Pretty sure everyone who plays this game can't help but wait outside the egg for a bit at then end, just to listen to the music!
Also great remix!
Roland with the Horn of Eld!
+Ragitsu Random Dark Tower reference...I see where you're coming from though.
Cosmoclaste
This arrangement (and indeed the original BGM) has a very "New Game Plus" feel to it in that it is the sort of music you'd hear upon embarking on the same adventure for a second time to set things right.

I'm accually gonna attempt to remake this game skyward sword style
+CRAZYMAN101 nice. if he gives you permission, will you use his music?
+libertysounds87 he allready has
+libertysounds87 they already made a remake (though it's more like a port), the DX version
Not a remake... a movie. I can't think of any other zelda game being made in a movie.
OH GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
i made a single playlist just to this one, so i dont have to press the replay botton xD
this was worth the wait
how did I know i'd find people commenting on how hype they are for the remake XD
This reminds me heavily of Twilight Princess, with just a pinch of Molgera's theme. :3
1:18 Is that Akuma's Theme I hear making a cameo? The enemies of Link are no match for the Raging Demon!
you're a genius! this is a masterpiece!
Lol I was just thinking "hey I'd like to listen to that good orchestrated version of tal tal heights... The long one, like 9 minutes, which concert was it already ?"
Oh wayiiit, it was fan made.
Ok, seriously well done :D
Brlilliant! I just saw Orchestra of the Godesses perform Zelda music live. They didn't play this one so you just completed me.
Oh yeah! That's Tal Tal Heights for you!
Why does it sound so much like twilight princess version of a song, very interesting, love it, it sounds so heroic this version
I Have been listening to this song for 2 days strait..
This could go so well in a Links Awakening remake.
Kratos Aurion Plays dream might come true :)
I have been waiting for you... great remix.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
Love this song!
Awesome stuff!
Its nearly here folks,won't be long now.👍
Woah, i didn't know you worked on this!
Epic cover I love It!
"Wind Fish"
Never mind that WHALES AREN'T FISH! They're MAMMALS!
Thoughts:

Yes beginning was great but the feeling subsides fast
The Second Narrator I love the entire theme. It's awesome!
I really hope you'll be doing more Zelda remakes. The older games could really use it.
Anyway you earned a sub ;)
The Second Narrator from 2:26 to 2:50 war an eargasm. The constant G flat at 2:38 is just perfect
+M_Dutch97 You are right this music is quite awesome ;)
You should totally do Crystalis, idk if you've played it but kinda like Link's Awakening I think it's a black sheep of the fantasy game family that needs a little more love and definitely has a soundtrack that could give a lot of space for talent like this to do some wild stuff.
best song ever!
This one should be on Smash Bros! Thumbs up!
They should make a level with the TalTal mountains. With the eagle and the wind fish!
FAV zelda game its the first one with chikens
Best music for best Zelda 😀
I was...:underwhelmed by this track in the remake. All I kept thinking was “this is ok, but man...The Second Narrator really captured the essence of the original better!” I even muted my tv while in tal tal and put this on.
This is very telling.
This is even better than the OST of the Remake! Sorry Nintendo, you hired the wrong people for the bgm!
I honestly can't tell which one I prefer. This arrangement or the one in the remake
Suicidal Loaf Of Bread you can enjoy them both for different reasons :)
@@herbertortiz9159 You're not wrong
