My Enhanced Game MIDI collection consists of MIDI files I sequenced and routed through my Yamaha Motif ES8 keyboard, utilising its rather nice-sounding General MIDI samples. The staff view was played with Cakewalk Express and the presentation was recorded with CamStudio. All instruments use the standard MIDI patches unless otherwise noted. To follow the notes in the sequence and to ensure the best sound quality, viewing full screen in 720p (HD) is strongly advised.

Link has beaten Ganon, saved Princess Zelda, and restored peace to Hyrule!  While watching the credits for The Legend of Zelda, this cheerful extension of the Game Over jingle plays.  I wrote a MIDI rendition of the song in 1998, arranged in the style of an anonymous author's MIDI version of the Title Theme (entry #4 at VGMusic.com).  Like the Game Over theme, my Ending Theme MIDI was packaged with Zelda Classic, a fan-made game supporting custom quests.

Similar to my take on Game Over (from The Legend of Zelda), I decided to turn the Ending Theme into a fuller, perky arrangement that remains true to the source.  The recorder lead in the arranged section is a nod to the Recorder (also known as the Magic Whistle) found in the game.  You can hear the new content after the first loop.
