The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - NES Hyrule Field

Did you ever wonder what would have happened if we never got past the 8-bits era? That all the games today would still be in 8-bits? Well, here's what Ocarina of Time's Hyrule Field theme would sound like if it was released for the NES. Enjoy!

it sound almost the same.. the nes didnt has all that sound channels so it never would sound like that

I know, I mentionned in another reply that I used GSXCC, so it "sounds" like 8-bit NES-style instruments, but used too many instruments/channels to be really "NES". I had another version with less channels being used, but it sounded a bit "empty". However, I'll disagree with you saying that "it sounds almost the same", haha. All the instruments are there, yes, but they sound really different from the original =P

@Kelmster I would like to hear the original, even if it did sound empty.

Mmm, well, I could try remaking it (lost it in a hard drive crash a few months ago) since it's not really hard, but right now I can't really upload anything on YouTube. I'll try to remember though and upload my other version if possible. I can message you if you want whenever I have it uploaded.

@Kelmster If you want to make an authentic NES remix there is a program called Famitracker. There is a learning curve but 8BitDanooct1 has excellent tutorials.

@CODMarioWarfare thanks, I've been looking for a tutorial!

Here i am thinking of what it would sound like fully orchestrated, and other people are imagining what it would sound like on the Nes!

[banana1planet]

That would be great. thank you!

[mopbrothers]

This would be an awesome remake. OOT on the NES! Could it really be done though?

[Kelmster]

Hahah, to be fair, a minimal amount of work went into this, as I used GSXCC (just changed some settings, ahha). Editing the NES cart picture actually took more work xD But yeah, OoT was an amazing game, so I understand why you'd want to play that again ;)
