Beautiful album, my favorites are probably Gimme My Sword!, Hoy Small Fry, and Thunderstruck

Woof. Just finished listening to the album. Fantastic. Great variety, and all of it solid. Standout tracks for me would be Skyward, Thunderstruck, Hey, Listen, and Last Dance of the Giants, but it's all great. As a self-professed Zelda fanatic, it was nice to hear the wonderful music of the series being explored in a so many interesting ways. Nice work! :nicework:

It's a great album, but the song Thunderstruck from Ocarina of Time is the best one. Fuckin amazin, specially the middle part, with a soft sound and the later crescendo.

okay, so I really haven't listened to this until just now, but damn, this is really a great album. 'Hey, Listen' is probably my new favorite anosou mix... some ridiculous source integration going on in there. also loved 'Thunderstruck', 'Labyrinth of Dance Floors', and Ballad of the Wind Fish (loved the vocal).. really great, exploratory arrangements that do something totally new with the sources.
kudos, nice work, and congrats to everyone involved.

This album overall is amazing, but Thunderstruck is freaking amazing, seriously, goosebumps galore, AMAZING!

The only think I'm not a fan of is the mastering on several of these tracks! Audible clipping isn't fun. Did one person do mastering across the whole album, or is it just the loudness war taking its toll?

I thought the mastering sounded weird on some tracks, too.
Particularly on Last dance of the giants, where all the other instruments lose volume at every bass thump, it was just annoying by the end of the song.
I don't want to sound unappreciative, though, a lot of work went into this and it's a great album overall. Thanks!

Well this is totally unexpected. Came out of left field indeed. So far, so good. Listening to the first few tracks and I'm liking what I'm hearing. Great timing as we celebrate Skyward Sword and the franchise's 25th Anniversary.

It's funny just how many "Hey! Listen!" samples there are in this album XD
Some great tracks though :)

Nice job with the trailer, I like the colors.
Not a total fan of the album, but the tracks are very solid, well produced and interesting to listen to. Nice work! :nicework:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooope. That's all Roger (Rekcahdam)! He nailed it.

there should be a warning label/subtitle added to this.
"awesome overload."

Wow. I just absolutely love this album. Two pieces from Link's Awakening, one of them Ballad Of The Wind Fish, finally in a song variation. Amazing.

Some noteworthy songs: ALL OF THEM!!!

I never expected a dance version of "Calling The Four Giants," but it's well done. "Link's Final Battle" is a little tragic after reading the description, but luckily in Zelda II there's a life system, so he'll be back to kick some a$$. Temple of Seasons may be repetitive, but it is well done, short, and catchy so I'm impressed.

Closing the entire album, "Zelda's Graceful Nightmare" is one piece of work. Like "Calling The Four Giants" I'd never expect a metal mix of Gohdan, but it works and it works WELL. Fitting that it's the longest piece, it flows well from song to song, leading to the true nightmare at the end. So many sound takes all jumbled up together, and Ganondorf's final laugh...I'm going to have graceful nightmares from here on in.

I love the album, very well done to all of you, and here's to another 25 years of happiness :)

A big thanks to everyone involved for this album -- it makes the perfect companion to the special orchestra CD with Skyward Sword; awesome music back-to-back. :grin:
Well done!
