StarChild reworked this a bit and I'd say it's improved. Though we've had a few Zelda 64 mixes on this site, the Gerudo theme has gotten all the love, so this mix is welcome and addresses that problem nicely. Starting with a simple shaker sound that cleverly changes emphasis when the jolly underlying chords intro, the mix then gains a bass and a strong delayed chirpy lead synthline. The theme itself is a rather simple major-key diddy, but the bridges are capitalized on by the bass dropping out and some interesting drum breaks (heavy on kick-only rolls, which you don't hear too much). There's an especially good drum seg around 2:40 where you can really hear the phasing on the bass drum. Ending is a little weak, as it fades out on the same rolling kick pattern, and it could have used a different lead sound for certain segments and perhaps a better string sound, but the chorus is strong and well-realized.

Mixing is all over the place on this one. It's pretty indistinct sounding, and the levels of all the instruments are not quite gelling. Way too much reverb on just about everything, and there seem to be random intonation issues, like some samples weren't tuned.
Sorry dude, not a fan. :-(

Wow !
It's thanks to this song that I know OCRemix ! :-D
I searched Lost Woods in google, 2 or 3 years ago, and I found out there was a website that post Remix of video game soundtracks ;-). I listened to the song, Memories of Saria, and I thought it was Impressive !:-D
So, Aetherius, this is an awesome remix !!!:wink:

I havn't said it before, but
I really like this song.
It's fun to listen to.

This song sorta reminds me of the theme from never ending story.

Well, I say this song already has enough oomph, it's just that something is overpowering the main saria tune. I can't put my finger on what, maybe it's many little things. Anyways, this is a good song overall, it's in my playlist for good.

Hmmm I dont know...I find this one to be VERY exact with a midi file on VG Music.The mix is good but I don't like it when they are exactly as a Pure mp3 version of the midi file...

this was my favorite song for a while. but now it isn't.
there is so much dj starchild could have done.
Bd is too soft and quiet. needs more oomph . the 2nd melody seems to overpower everthing else, it just pissed me off.

Well...for a second remix, it's pretty well the best I could do. And, it being two years later...I wouldn't even make anything similar to this remix....indeed, I haven't remixed since my Brink of time remix got rejected...*sighs* good times.
Anyways, a favourite song? Are you out of your bloody mind?
I'm quite surprised by the number of people who actually gave this good reviews...and were able to type....

This track is just...strange. I had to listen to it a few times to decide if I liked it or not. It's okay, and an interesting version of the Saria's Song, but it's not one of my favorites. However, I do think it is worth downloading:-)

this is a average track.

The opening notes sound like a carnival and pierce through your brain. I'm sorry, but this one just doesn't do Zelda any justice. No hard feelings.

I like the techno feel to this song. I don't think this song is generic, because it still has its happy little tune intact. Now, is happy generic?
85%
An average-length track that is enjoyable, and for being just a tad repetitive, it really does fly by.

Hey, I've heard this song (well, not quite THIS song) on VGmusic.com!!! Even so, it's still a great music, but not one I'd want to listen to repeatedly. More like a special occassion thing. Happy dance moments aside, it is a worthy remix, just not a great one.

- Ferret on April 26, 2003

i liked this song, i personally see no problem with it, it is happy!!! :D

- vgmusiclover on March 12, 2003

This is a marginally generic remix that I would only recommend since Saria's Song remixes aren'te extremely prevalent. The song does have some enjoyable aspects to it and manages to avoid getting repetitve despite being such a short loop. 4/8

- PassivePretentiousness on February 24, 2003

Oooooo
Don't be too hard on yourself, man. Saria's Song has to be one of the toughest ones to work with since it's so cheezy sounding. I don't think you did a bad job at all as far as quality is concerned. Very few would dare step into the lost woods and make something using this song out of pure fear. I applaud your bravery in this undertaking. :wink:
