Gerudo Valley, originally composed by Koji Kondo, appeared for the first time on the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 23, 1998. This is one of my favorite pieces from that soundtrack, and was the very first piece I ever remixed. The piece has a very middle-eastern sound to it, and it's minor chord progression give it a beautiful, haunting texture, overlayed by guitars and shakers. In this mix, I chose to keep the guitar sounds to stay true to the original piece, but I also added a small piece from "Spirit Temple."

Bolero of Fire and Serenade of water were originally composed by Koji Kondo and appeared for the first time on the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 23, 1998. I decided to remix these two pieces because I had already made an arrangement of them for piano. I put them together because they're exact opposites, and they both have basically the same chord progression. This turned out to be a very chill, groovy track, and it's the first down-tempo piece I've mixed. It's probably the first and last down-tempo piece you'll hear from me.

Inside Ganon's Castle, originally composed by Koji Kondo, appeared for the first time on the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 23, 1998. We all love boss battles and the music that comes along with them. This is the music that leads up to the final boss battle in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I like it because it incorporates a very interesting organ part. That's one of the major reasons I decided to remix this track. The entire thing is a buildup.

Koume and Kotake, originally composed by Koji Kondo, appeared for the first time on the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 23, 1998. Koume and Kotake are witches, and the piece reflects their very mischievous nature. This was a tricky piece to remix because of all the odd chords and chromatic patterns. I included their creepy laughs in the intro and outro.

Link's House, originally composed by Koji Kondo, appeared for the first time on the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 23, 1998. This piece is incredibly short, being only 45 seconds on the soundtrack. I wanted to make this a fun mix, so I did some hard-style mixing and came up with a very energetic remix. This really is a "headbangin'" remix. It was described as such by a friend: It's like Link took some "E" and went bouncing off the walls in his house!

The Lost Woods, originally composed by Koji Kondo, appeared for the first time on the soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 23, 1998. This was the first song I ever learned to play from Ocarina of Time on the piano. This is a very happy, catchy tune in a very major chord progression. I'd say you can't listen to it without smiling and remembering the days you used to play this game when you were a child. The mix also turned out pretty happy with a major chord progression, but in some parts of the mix it's been altered to sound a little minor as well.
