Her news is grave: she has discovered the means by which Ganondorf escaped the Sacred Realm. The ancient Cloak of Light wasn't just stolen, it was twisted to utter darkness by his evil hand. He wears the cloak now, and has wrought unimaginable misery – especially upon those who stand up to him.
She warns him that he will need all his courage to continue on this journey, but that he must – the fate not just of Termina, but of the many worlds beyond, is on his shoulders.
But he is not alone. Zelda will continue to guide him, and if he can rescue the remaining Great Fairies, their combined might could be enough to restore the Cloak of Light to its former goodness. Its power is the only thing that can return the Evil King to his spiritual prison…

Composition: Koji Kondo Arrangement: robotsonnBrinstar (Underground Depths) x Forest Temple mashup/remixrobotsonn2023-12-10 | It was the atmospheric background percussion that made me connect these two in the first place, and it felt like I didn't have to try to hard to make them work together. Just a lot of little tweaks, but I don't know they kind of just slotted together like to pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
The original tempos are pretty far apart (Forest Temple is 96bpm, Brinstar Underground Depths is 75bpm) and I settled on 75bpm, so all the Forest Temple elements are slow, more sparse, maybe even more haunting than in the original. And they're down one semi-tone to match the Brinstar elements.
Let me know what you think, and if you have any other suggestions for mashups – particularly from older consoles, as I haven't really got to grips with more modern orchestral samples yet.

The voice samples used in the original version (which I’ve mostly panned to the right) are Islamic, and Nintendo has a policy not to reference real-life religion in their games. Here’s a really good breakdown of the situation:
I thought it would be interesting to bring the two versions together, and it shows the ways that Koji Kondo used the original as a guide for composing the replacement choir elements. I assume in part he wanted to retain his initial ideas, and in part simply needed to get something done quickly, and found a way to replace the old elements as seamlessly as possible.
It also made me realise that he slowed it down quite a lot (about 5bpm) for the second version – I would guess so that the choir has a bit more time to transition between notes. I’ve kept the original bpm (113bpm) so that the timing with the chanting samples doesn’t get messed up.
I’ve changed the panning quite a bit in order to try and help all the vocal parts (there are now a lot of them) find their own place in the mix, and rebalanced the volumes. I hope you think it worked out ok.

Composers: Junichi Masuda, Koji Kondo Arrangement: robotsonnZeldas Goodbye – original Zelda 64 music (Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask)robotsonn2023-08-07 | I like the idea of an ambiguous, solemn finale where Zelda and Link part ways, but without a lot of detail about what might come next for either of them. I hope I captured some of that kind of feeling with this theme.

What happened to this place?

This is an individual theme taken from a full collection: youtube.com/watch?v=ZDABTVPcs8MRickety Old Town – original Zelda 64 music (Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask)robotsonn2023-07-20 | To me, this is a theme for a creaking, sombre Hylian town. Like the Market Town from Ocarina of Time, but where there's not a lot of trust, even less money, and no bustling crowds.
