Here is an orchestral rendition I created of the well known Kakariko Village theme from The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. This theme was created as a test for my new orchestral library: Spitfire Albion One, the only other library I used was the Spitfire Harp. All the orchestral sounds are from the Albion One library. This theme took me a while to create as I worked a lot on the dynamics to create the right sound I wanted to achieve, and this is how it turned out. 

Thanks for listening!
