3/6/2015 Update - Redid the final mix. Toned down the maximizer so it doesn't sound too blown out, raised the solo violin level so it can truly soar above the boss's rage.

Following the same reasoning behind the mini boss theme, I chose to have the boss music narrate the story of the fight instead of just serving as background mood. The intro describes the tension Link must feel when he observes the boss for the first time, but he must be quick on his feet, dodging while figuring out the enemy pattern and weakness. At a certain point, everything clicks, and he (the player) fights back with resolve.

I felt that the original boss theme made for a pretty lively background rhythm. For this version, I kept the mood lighthearted, as the bosses are not as difficult. Perhaps they were caught off guard when this unknown intruder Link invaded the island. The violin solo represents Link as he soars above the chaos displaying his legendary Hyrule courage. The first chair violin sample library I used wasn't really designed for a virtuoso performance, so it took me quite some time to get it to sound almost like an expert violinist. I had a lot of fun trying to imagine how someone like Lindsey Stirling or Taylor Davis might play it, dancing around while going crazy on the articulation. The melody is supposed to sound similar to Zelda music you might have heard somewhere, but you can't quite put your finger on where. I borrowed rhythms and chord progressions from other places such as Tal Tal Heights and the Dark World from A Link to the Past, with the vaguest hint of the Wind Fish Ballad.

I have many ideas for the boss theme, but could only incorporate so much. If I had all the time in the world, I'd make one for each boss. Instead I will make a second version later on to represent the bosses in the 2nd half of the game.

The Once And Future King

Dead Melodies serves us a soundtrack to a dystopian future where cybernetic hacking has wiped most of the population, an overgrown world painted with dark drones

The rise in blackmarket mods of the amaranthine expansion had exposed more vulnerabilities than The World Council could patch. Originally promised to provide users with next-gen intersensory integration in The Cyberzone, but a bad code in the mod had revealed a port directly into the cerebral cortex, giving full access and control of the mind, thus kicking off a race between the Council's Cyber Security Agency and hacker groups to either patch or exploit the port.

At first just the modded expansions were affected, but once the malicious code infiltrated the mainframe, the hackers gained access to the entire neural network. Full motor-cranial control of 80% of the world's population was theirs. The hand of god was assumed; like puppeteers of the highest order.

And with the human race set to stand-by, white eyed and in a temporal loop of anaesthetic symbiosis; government houses burned, military intelligence was deleted and crypto banks were wiped clean. It was then the unspeakable and irreversible moment came; the genesis flood surged through The Cyberzone, literally switching off the brains of the connected, sparing only the young and the deactivated. Over half the human race, wiped out in a heartbeat. And the almighty towering empire of The World Council, now just a relic left to be reclaimed by the earth.

The hacker's masterplan was complete. A hard reset that ushered in a new dawn for mankind. The few survivors, now fully liberated from the technological reign of The World Council, free to restart anew and rebuild the human race. Enter Earth 2.0
