I played A Link to the Past when I was 8 and loved it to death. This was my favorite song from the game and when I heard it on Brawl, it brought so many of those amazing memories back. I honestly think this is the best remix/rendition of the song out there, more modern of course, but still instills the adventurous hope the original did.
Damn this song to the chasm of HELL!! This arrangement is a fucking insult of a truly amazing piece of music!! Screw the composer, because he sure screwed us over!!!
@IRTEHTroll i agree buddy. games back then will kick any young current gamers ass. games these days are made too much for the casual and not enough for the dedicated/hardcore.
@OcarinaOfDarkness Besides, "Hardcore" or beginning FPS players can beat a game of Halo 3 or Reach in like 2 hours. I miss games where you can spend days playing it.
@KitsuneDzelda i HAVE a Link to the Past. It's acc one of my least favourite Zelda games :/ But I do <3 the Dark World theme. This one is nicer though.
I noticed that the older zelda games are much more challanging than the newer ones, a link to the past and OoT are the hardest zelda games i ever played. Also the The legend of zelda 1 and 2 are nearly imposible!
i loved vieo games as a kid, but i REALLY sarted to like them as 3D. 3D is just easier for this generation than the artari generation. My Brother is pretty good at them all though XD (he started out with the NES)
they're still making the 2D Games I got the 4 sword adventure for the Gamecube and that was 2D even the Minish Cap on the Gameboy was 2D but then again almost every game on Gameboy is still 2D
Yea, but now they make Zelda games for Wii and DS, both of which are capable of 3-D graphics. The only new 2-D Zelda games that will come out in the future will be on the DS or some other future Nintendo handheld console.
yeah I think your right The DS actually has both 2D and 3D you got the one screen where Link will be in the 3D but the other screen has a map screen to show like a 2D view if that counts
Yeah...if this song had been in Twilight Princess, it would've sounded just like this...and it would have fit perfectly. I had mixed feelings about this remix, but the more I listened to it, the more I came to love it
i'm gonna need someone to tell me...how is a version that you can tell was made for a game and sounds kinda polyphonic(SNES version) better than a version that actually sounds orchestrated?(Brawl version)
how can the SNES version be better than the Brawl version? the SNES version sounds too polyphonic, while the Brawl version actually sounds like it was orchestrated
well, i personally like the one for snes more... im not saying i dont like this one but its just idk not as clear sounding i guess... but maby its just because knowing the other first and having it be a good memory of one of my favorite games i judge more critically of this one. either way who knows why we like some songs and not others... we just do!
I really don't understand what your saying man. Are you saying that polyphonic is the opposite of orchestrated??? The two versions are clearly different and not just because one is made using MIDI sounds and one is played by an orchestra. This one has a chilled mellow feel to it with lots of exotic flourishes and sounds. The original is more percussive and straight-forward with yes strong polyphonic chords and in the style of a march, much more exciting imo.
ok people keep sayin that the original is so much better, cant we just all agree that any version of this song is sweet?! like seriously, i searched all over youtube to look for mixs of this song, and i loved every single one, its the beat, its so catchy. LOVE IT, its something with LOZ music, they are so good!
Okay, why did my comment get negatively repped? You can't tell me that you disrespect my opinion of the old version being better. This new one's alright, but NOTHING compared to the original. I played and could beat ALttP when I was FIVE. The music and areas in that game mean alot to me. I reserve the right to think that this version is not good. At all. In comparison to the original, REAL version.
U know they didnt make any real changes this song is still very similar they are using most of the instruments, i liek this version better only it wouldnt match to the original game much
I want to make a Dark World stage but the Stage Builder is looking alittle thin, I thought about re-creating an Ice palace too. Maybe if we're lucky there will be expansions or downloadable content for stage builders.
L2tP was one of the games i was raised on (thats right my parents were HUGE Zelda fans from the beginning, and this was one of the earliest gaming meomries I have, although i did play NES games as well)
lol It's hailed as the greatest Zelda and sometimes top Nintendo game of all time. It's definitely not underrated. Many Nintendo fans agree with its rating while those like me who like top-down Zeldas more than 3D ones and recognize ALttP's amazing quality are brave enough to say OoT is overrated. Which, IMO, it is =P
Twilight Princess was awesome and you know it XD; but I agree that OOT is overrated. Most Zelda fans disagree with me, but I perfer Majora's Mask. It provides a challenge with the three days, and you can transform into a Deku Scrub, a Zora, and a Goron.
i liked twilight princess, but there wasent enough to do, hyrule feild was big, but there were only 3 villages, and 2 actualy matterd, not enough to do!, oot was best, then alttp, then windwaker,(had lots to do, many maps to explore) then twilight princess, then majoras mask, in my opinion
I have to agree with you there. Twilight Princess did lack in side quests, but regardless it made up for it because it had a pretty kickass story mode, really good new items like the Dominion Rod (my favorite), and you could change into a wolf.
ok, so for some reason I got a thumbs down... they did think about it though. So what do you think? Would it be a good idea? Me, I don't know, I think it might be cool.
Ugh, I hope not. IMO, 2D/top-down Zelda games > 3D ones. I don't think it would go over well. They should leave ALttP alone unless they're just porting to VC or GBA.
It would be a pretty cool idea to remake it in 3D, but it won't compare to the original. It was the first Zelda game for me and seeing it in 3D would make me a little happy. It SHOULD happen, at least.
The original will always be just that.... the original. But this remix actually adds a darker mood to the song. I actually get the feeling that this sound actually represents the dark atmosphere of the Dark World better than the original which was a little more adventurous/exciting(no doubt to stimulate gameplay). Its just my opinion on the matter, ive fallen in love with this remix.
Well I've never been one to support the "fast-paced" or "exciting" music to being the answer to enhance gameplay. Sure it makes sense, and often works, but I find that slower/dramatic music can offer just as much impact during fighting (to be general) sequences as your common up-beat selections. So this remix will be amazing to fight to, for me of course.
Exactly. I liked the original, but it didn't seem.... dark? I love this remix. Makes you feel... Darker, you know what I mean? I really can't stop listening this.
This is a dreadful remake compared to the initial version. In fact, SSBB itself was an unworthy successor to Super Smash Bros. Melee.
