Arcade, 8-bit, and Game Soundtracks - part 3

𝟑 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

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.

Lately I’ve been yearning to travel. Break out of the routine, take risks, see new places, meet and reunite with long distance friends. NΣΣT’s music has accompanied and endlessly inspired me during these adventures. From the moment I first heard his tunes, I’ve been able to relate to it and confide in it in a really intense way.

This is my tribute to an artist who’s very important to me, and a song that truly reflects my heart.
