""First, this is the review for: The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time Symphony Album. I purchased this CD from eBay over a year ago, and just now remembered to write a review. I will list the tracks, and their times now: 'Title', 4:03 - 'Kokiri Forest', 2:10 - 'Hyrule Field', 3:47 - 'Hyrule Castle', 2:10 - 'Lon Lon Ranch', 3:26 - 'Kakariko Village', 3:06 - 'Death Mountain', 2:58 - 'Zora's Domain', 3:41 - 'Gerudo Valley', 4:34 - 'Ganondorf', 1:06 - 'Princess Zelda', 3:05 - 'Ocarina Medley', 3:52 - 'The Legend Of Zelda Medley', 4:48."



"All the tracks are REALLY good! The game is the most amazing game ever made, and any fan of The Legend Of Zelda should buy this soundtrack. All the tracks are beautifully composed, and a joy to listen to. This album is well worth whatever you are paying for it. The booklet inside is all in Japanese, so I can't read it, but it's still awesome! iTunes has the information for this album, so if you use iTunes you'll be able to put in all the song information. This is a great album (and I think I'll be buying the original soundtrack soon, also): I recommend it to all Zelda fans and music fans alike; the tracks have a good, classical music sound to them, and are much better than the electric sounding songs of the game."

Good rearangement but missing some things

"I love The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time videogame and wanted to buy this specific album because I wanted to hear the music presented with real live instruments, not the cheesy midi videogame digital feel.



The orchestral rearrangements are certainly splendid. "Zelda's Lullaby" is simply beautiful. "Legend of Zelda Medley" is dramatic, "Kakariko Village" is nostaligic.



However, the album missed a few points on how the music was presented. For example, "Gerudo Valley" should have been arranged for two spanish classical guitars to give it a spanish-Mediterranean feel. The orchestral arrangement feels like the Zale diamonds songs. They combined all the ocarina songs of the game into a short single Ocarina meledy, but I though that each ocania song in the game deserved to be it's own song. For example, I wanted Saria's Song to be it's own composition. Song of Storms should be it's own composition too, rearranged on an accordion."

Wonderful Product
