Penance Fracture Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Over the years, I've had the pleasure of being privy to a multitude of fan projects aimed at reorchestrating or remixing the various soundtracks of The Legend of Zelda. Most recently, I stumbled across Hero of Time and, impressed, ordered the gold foil edition for myself just now, which is why there are now only eight left at the time of this writing. I consider myself very lucky. That feeling of luck belies the dread that comes from the idea of missing out on something special just because you simply weren't aware of it. For that, I have decided to collect all of the great fan reinterpretations of which I know and post them here. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if there are others. If you have one not already listed here, please, by all means, make a post of your own about it. I'll add it to this OP. Preference for downloadable albums, but feel free to post stand-alone songs. They can be licensed or otherwise allowed by Nintendo, or completely unsanctioned.

My FLAC download was lost in a hard disk failure, but I can still do a lossless rip from said discs and transfer the resulting files via torrent. Given the general unavailability of the original product, as well as its free availability in other formats, I'm chalking this up to fair use (or whatever). Anyone interested can contact me via PM.

L'Arachel Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 My husband and I actually used the ZREO version of MM's Clocktown music in our wedding ceremony. Fun memories. EH_STEVE and Penance Fracture 2 Quote Link to comment
Penance Fracture Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 I love nerd weddings. If I were ever to bother getting married myself, I would mandate something amazing like that. :3 Quote Link to comment

L'Arachel Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Our wedding wasn't really geeky at all, we just used some geeky music since we had to pick songs for stuff and the only music either of us really listens to is video game and movie soundtracks. I would have been happy doing more geeky stuff like that, but hubby prefers more of the fancy stuff, so everything else was pretty normal-like. Quote Link to comment
