Here's a little something I've been wanting to do for a long time - a remake of my old "Farewell, Koholint" Link's Awakening medley, based off of one of my favorite games of all time. It only seemed fitting to remake it on the same day the new Link's Awakening remake released! You can see the original here: youtube.com/watch?v=jFa64K0Eha8

Scored, Written, Performed and edited by me
Link's Awakening and music is (C) Nintendo
Go buy the remake!

Lyrics:
Never thought
What I'd sought
could be so foolish

Life had seemed
like a dream
I held dear

They aren't real, but
I still care for everybody here

Though the
Waking world calls
for me

It can't see

Every day
On this island far away
Has been so magical
And I wish that I could stay
No matter where I'd roam
Koholint just felt like home
I had a family
I had adventure and romance roaming free
But I've acted too suddenly

Call me hero, tell me a lie
Please convince me that I
Saved the world and can look forward with pride

Wipe off the tears and awaken my soul
Give me a kingdom whose fate I control
I'm tired of being a pawn, just a spot on the map that they've drawn

Hear me, Goddesses of Hyrule
I'm no longer your tool
I'm not following blindly anymore

I've learned from a whale in the sky up above
My blade hits harder when I fight for love

A pox on the fates and the throne
I'll make a legend all my own!

But, for now...

As I climb
Your lifetimes
grow ever shorter

Destiny
Forces me
Please forgive

Your sacrifices
are the price that I must pay to live
I'll hold you in my heart
Lifelong
