Legend of Zelda Orchestrated

This is a little Zelda remix though. I've wanted to do one for a while but never known which track to actually do. This is the Darkworld theme and then an encore of the Zelda motif.

Zelda ALTtP - Dark World Theme

This is an orchestrated version of Temple of Time from Zelda Ocarina of Time.  I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops.

Anyways - the choir. Meh, I am a bit of a perfectionist so I'm never ultimately happy, but they were a nightmare to work on with this. Hopefully they sound ok to everyone.

Zelda OoT - Lost Woods

A quick remake of the Zelda Skyward Sword theme from scratch - Mostly to practice with instruments and otherly because it's a badass theme. I added a little touch of me and some choir, but I'll maybe reapproach this once it's out and put in a little more dummy-ness.

Some random facts:

• I've never played this backwards to know if the rumours are true. I'll investigate more soon.
• The sample libraries in this piece total up to about 2tb disk space and 23gb memory.
• I had to make it in 4 seperate parts and combine the rendered down wav files.
• It took around 3 hours from start to finish. A little longer than usual because the original piece is fully orchestrated.

Zelda Skyward Sword - Theme Reorchestrated

An orchestral cover of Dragon Roost Island from Zelda The Wind Waker. It might be a little too epic and bombastic to fit the theme and it loses the windy-feel of the original, but that's just how it turned out.

Zelda ALTtP - Select Screen

An orchestration of Departure from The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker. It has been a while since my last Zelda orchestration. This one stays pretty true to the original with a little twists and turns here and there and additions by myself. It's an awesome original piece so I didn't want to stray too far.

Zelda tWW - Departure Orchestra

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
