Neat. Compelling, funky electronica with a difference from OCR newcomer Beej. Fantastic work with fading amp envelopes, hard cuts, a flooring (literally - awesome) lead synth, explosive and very electronic drums, excellent panning + mixing, just the right length (doing the good ole' "octave jump for climax" trick towards the end that I'm one of the largest culprits of ^^) - this is accessible, well-produced stuff. It's certainly not dance or trance, so don't expect four-on-the-floor or something you could (easily at least) boogie to, but it's nevertheless quite groovy, has attitude and nuance reminiscent of some of AE's work, and is definitely not cookie-cutter. The style also works with the source material very fluidly and naturally. Fleeting, yet excellent - highly recommended.

Woah! Really cool elements in there. My fav is the 8-bit sound that was something sounding like a guitar solo. Real retro but very nicely composed. Should be proud of this one.

This is like, a perfect mix of Zelda and Sonic. I keep thinking, either, the best new track for the PSO Lobbies or like a Robotnik Palace. This is truly a mix to behold. Kind of like, my favorite mix.

Incredible mix, and super enjoyable to listen to. Definitly one of the best darkworld mixes (plenty good ones).
I love the very beginning. ^_^

This is a really enjoyable remix to the darkworld theme. But, besides the ending of course, I dont see how this is much different from the original, melody-wise. anyone wanna explain to me? (sorry, im definitely noob)

This song is really great - I love it! It's really cool and has a great beat! Keep it up!

This is like sonic and zelda mixed together. A feat thought impossible, surely you have shown that the 2 are mixable. Great work.

I like all the electronic patchwork that was done in this remix. Great vibrato queues, and lead instrument.
Only regret is that it was too short, and there could have been some improv to lengthen it...
Otherwise, it sounds awesome!

Of all the remixes for the dark world in Link to the Past, I think this one is the best. Probably because out of all of them, this one seems to stay closest to the original. My only issue with it is that it just isn't long enough. beej could have taken that raise in octave for an entire loop, and then ended it, but he didn't. Otherwise this song is perfect. Great work. Totally infinite loop worthy.

One of my favourite Zelda songs.
Did a good job on this one, can get extremly addicting in short periods.
To many jazz and no good overworld remixes (That I like, And I don't like jazz personaly, they did a good work on the songs but theyr not my taste.)
Great remix.

Ah yes, the good ol' chiptune sound of music, gotta love it.
Well this is a pretty awesome remix, I seem to be listening to it on repeat to listen for any parts that could of been made better. Can't really hear anything that needs improving. Also I love the intro with the little beep, then as its progressing into the full blow song, pretty awesome pause type thing at 0:16, then the main melody comes in, thats where the real chiptune sound hit me. Pretty nice alteration of the melody at 0:51. Beej, you did an awesome job at this remix and it must of taken you awhile. Good luck on future remixes in the future.

It seems alot of people like this mix, it's no doubt why. Extremely catchy, tons of excellent mixing effects and an extremely sexy synth! It may sound a little warehouse and short but still awesome!
Some cool little effects and parts at 0:18, 0:34, 0:51 and at 1:00 to 1:20, the best part in the song! I don't what beej did there but he just makes the synth feel like its reaching out
fuckin eh.. too bad this is the only song by beej here

- jordex on April 8, 2005

Oh yeah! I have a hard time not dancing when I listen to this one, and I don't dance, so that's really something. It's taken a tune that I didn't like that much in the game, and turned it into something really cool.
My only problem is the ending. There's not really one, it just suddenly ends.

- SubSpecies23 on December 10, 2004

Catchy comes to mind. It follows pretty much the same guidelines as the original, with a few twists here and there. The intro starting off with the original power-on sound of the game adds a nice touch, leading to one of the best remixes for the game. Hard to describe, download it for a fun song to listen to. It's one that's in my regular listening rotation. Seems simple at first, but definitely good for a fan of the game. 8.5/10

- IlRX8lI on December 10, 2004

this is my favorite zelda remix! :D does anyone know where to get or how to create samples like those?they're soo sweet.

- fatalM4 on August 2, 2004

Great understanding of the source material. One of the best OCR has to offer.
