Jayson Litrio sent in this fantastic Zelda 3 ReMix a LOOOONG time ago. I think it might actually be a record, as it's been about a year. Before you yell at me, as it is definitely worthy material, let me explain that there was a bit of a misunderstanding about filenaming / usage and leave it at that. I actually listened to it the day he sent it and thought it was good :) Made using a Korg Trinity (hence my clever name), this ReMix is a laid back groove with very meticulous mixing and stereo placement. A slight hip-hop flava on the drums, great acoustic guitar arpeggios warmly filling up the midrange, some brilliant acoustic piano at 1'48", xylopohone following that up. Every element accomplishes something and is not superfluous, which is saying qutie a bit. Congratulations to Litrio on a fantastic Zelda 3 mix that you MUST download. Also congrats to the AZ Dbacks on the 2001 World Series - I was rooting for the Yanks, but it was a well-fought battle on either side and amazing to watch.

Great idea with the opener. Really grasp it. Just started this game
the other day and found out how repetitive it is in the opener
screen. You really mixed it up tho. May suggest to lay a lil low on
the vibrato in the beginning. Doesn't seem to reflect the whole at
the time of music.
*Edit: Vibrato may be not so bad after hearing it again. Sorry!*

Every time I hear that intro, I think: Well, time to crack out LttP
and play a little. Nice little hit of nostalgia.
I really love this mix, because I really enjoy mixes that promote a
natural flow from beginning to end. There's mostly tranquil
ingredients in there, with a slight dusting of urban, but I
appreciate the tranquil things the most. There is a liquidity to
the instrument choice and the improvised nature that I find very
cool, and extremely easy to listen to. Many props.

I totally was not expecting something like this.
Way chill, and though it is really similar to the original, the way
it is handled was really cool. I am seriously grooving to this
one.
I really don't think this'd pass the judging panel nowadays (or
it'd be really close), but i'm really glad it made it in when it
did.

Except for that DISPICABLE diminished vii chord that kept repeating
throughout the piece! UH!!! I hate it I hate it! HATE IT!!!!
Other than that, it's an ok work... not downloading it though... It
would be suicide for my ears...

I think this is a very good piece, the funky beat works very well
with the Goddess music with the piano halfway through keeping the
beat different yet strong. Nice work Mr Litrio

I like The FuNk of this remix.
PS. I wonder what the goddeses would think of this?
PPS. WOW 8O

I found that this was an enjoyable piece, with my favourite part
being the cool little acoustic arpeggiated chords, which kinda
reminded me of the FF7 tune "Underneath the Rotting Pizza" (one of
the themes from in Midgar, which I happened to like). It's a cool
little piece, nothing groundbreaking in the remix community, but
it's a good piece.

My winamp finally shuffled into this gem. Ohhhh man, I'm loving
this. It's so calm, soothing, and awesome. I loved the intro, and
everything else. Except for that piano part at 1:50. But I'll
probably love it soon enough. This will be playing a lot more on my
playlist :D

I love this ReMix! It's like a hip-hoping fairy! Awsome!
- The_Wind_Waker8 on January 13, 2005
I love the way this mix evolves! First you've got the somewhat
ominous little intro, and then around 0:10 the harp comes in and
leads right into the main tune. With the addition of the piano at
1:24 and (what I believe) is a xylophone at 2:00, this mix
definitely sets a relaxing atmosphere for the listener. I would
recommend this to anyone who's looking for some nice music to just
sit back and chill to. :)

i know this is an old remix song. im new to this site. ive
downloaded quite a bit off ocremix. i have to say, this is one of
the best remixes i have downloaded. my favorite so far even though
i prefer final fantasy music. it has a nice relax yet kinda hiphop
feel to it which i love. like the previous reply, i love how you
mix into the song at the beginning from the original music.
everything is balanced and the melody is heard very well and the
improvised piano is beautiful. the person who made this has alot of
talent. i look forward to hearing your other remixes.
- blaX on December 3, 2003
I love this remix! I love how it starts out like the original then
mixes out to the mix, I love that part! This is just an all around
great remix! Excellent work!
- Cold Rhapsody on September 7, 2003
My first thought on hearing the beat near the top was "this is
[i]sick[/i]". Which was embarassing, since I never say things like
that in real life, but nonetheless true: the background is
incredibly well-done; just great. Far surpassed my expectations.
(The lead melody isn't bad, either, though it's not quite up to the
same standard.)
- Bluephonic on July 16, 2003
EXCELLENT FUN FUN ORIGINAL. This song works on a great many levels.
It screws the whole "let's change the lead instrument to something
slightly better" idea and takes the original, which immediately
lends a nostalgia factor. The background instruments are all of
exceptionally high quality. Each time the song deviates and decides
to do something completely different it actually sounds right. 7/8
