Day 28 of March Madness, where I challenge myself to remaster 1 final boss/final area theme from a video game every day. Today, I did the Great Palace theme from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. This game gets a bad reputation, but if you play it with save states/rewind and a guide, it's really fun. Dark Souls-esque combat on the NES hasn't aged that well, but the game is a fun one to pass the time. Not much to say about the song, though, except for the fact that I REALLY like how it came out. Enjoy!

Great Palace (Zelda II: The Adventure of Link) (March Madness: Final Boss/Area Themes Remastered)

Thanks everyone for patiently waiting. 3 years 9 months is how long I've been stuck on this track. I would always quit and do some other track, and this one always kept nagging on me until I finally gave myself an ultimatum to finish this up or none at all. I spent nearly every day of the pandemic working on it. Zelda II is such a different beast compared to the rest of the series, which is why I am an apologist for it. I really like how populated the world is, and funny enough it's still the game furthest along in the timeline. I treated it as if it was everyone's favorite in the series. This may be my only track where you see a perfect mesh of story, visuals, and music working in perfect sync.

Note the similarities between this and A Link Between Worlds. I suppose since they're set in the same Hyrule they have similar soundtracks.

"What The Fuck Are We Doing Out Here?" is a bold single released in 2024 by Ramon Inc., blending experimental trap with layers of synth, jazz mannerisms, and warm electronic salsa grooves. The result is a hybrid piece that plays with the contrast between the cool urban sound of trap and the engaging rhythmic fluidity of jazz and salsa.

The vocal sample that opens the track—with the repetitive phrase that gives the song its title—was taken from a viral video, lending immediate personality and a sense of existential urgency to the sonic narrative. This spoken word carries emotional resonance: a blunt, almost existential questioning that wanders through moments of introspection with a Latin twist.

The production utilizes minimalist trap beats and deep bass, contrasted with polyphonic synths and melancholic saxophones that evoke jazz in their dissonant chords, as well as electronically programmed salsa percussion (conga, timbal), bringing swing and tension simultaneously. The synth sections float over grooves and breakbeats, creating an acoustic microcosm where urban meets tropical, with an experimental and deconstructive tone.

The vocal sample that gives voice to the song is taken from an iconic and sincere moment of a reporter who passed away in 2014, but who remains alive in our memories for his courage and humanity. He responded to the pressure of a difficult day, revealing a very human side by expressing his frustration at missing his daughter's birthday due to an unexpected call to cover a simple traffic incident. This moving story, which reveals the man behind the microphone, reinforces the depth of the sample used by Ramon Inc., which pays tribute to a professional who dared to question his place in the chaos and who left a legacy of dignity and truth. May his daughter and grandchildren have a prosperous life, and may he rest in peace.
RIP Tailgate Jones (Thomas “Thom” Dickerson)

"What The Fuck Are We Doing Out Here?" is both a literal question and a sonic reflection—
a tropical-jazz trap that dances with chaos and wonders where we're all headed.

Okay, record level 40
With wood plate on
The note stand

Uh, as you can see there's construction underway here
Uh, they've dug out a little bit
There's water, has accumulated, traffic's backed up
In a city the size of Houston there's always traffic
So what's the big fucking deal?
What the fuck are we doing out here?
I asked you, what in the fuck are we doing here?
Hell, I don't know

THANK U ALL ♡

This song was extracted from the UPK file. Its internal name is "1.ogg". I upload it here because it is presumably the best quality. Rest in peace, Paragon. The game is now closed forever and I don't think Epic Games makes this song available anywhere.

Disclaimer: I do not own this song.
