Tenth video. There are actually two face shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening; the southern one reveals some information about Koholint Island that's extremely critical to the storyline. This theme, however, is of the northern Face Shrine, which functions like a regular dungeon and contains the Coral Triangle in addition to the L2 Power Bracelet.
I had always thought that the Face Shrine's music was a single track with only one instrument. However, I was surprised to learn that there are actually two tracks (of the same instrument) and that the second one echoed the first. Since there's no volume control for individual instruments on Mario Paint Composer, I instead added more instruments to the first track to make it stand out when required. Doing this significantly changes the song from its original recording, but adding more instruments functions the same way that volume control would so I hope you like it.
What I thought was going to be a simple piece to make turned out to be the most difficult so far. I really hope you enjoy this one and look forward to the remaining dungeons in the series.
