This is music.
I don't give out 10s. I almost never do. 3 songs, as of today, have recieved 10s from me. But this is just...perfect. That's the only word I can use. The songs from this game were already beautiful, but put on piano, I can only begin to express how I felt when I heard the song. As soon as the first notes cut in, I was myself, 4 years old, sitting in front of the N64 I got for Christmas for the very first time, staring at the Legend of Zelda title screen. I was the innocent child, discovering music. That's right. The Legend of Zelda inspired me to play piano. It was positively amazing. One of the greatest game soundtracks of all time, I had replayed it in my head at last once every week from that day on.
Then one day, I quit piano. I had had enough. I needed a permanant hiatus.
And you've done the best thing you could have possibly done for me. You inspired me to take piano back up. As soon as I heard this song, I called my teacher and said, "James? I'm back to piano." The beauty of this song called my attention, once again, to music; as the original did the me of 4 years old, playing the Prelude of LIght on anything I could possibly find. And now, after a terrible decision, you have inspired me.
The way you handled these songs was very well done, and the bass notes, while rarely placed, added that note of "Oh my god. This is freaking amazing." The E-G-E2, E-G-E2, F#2..GF#GF#DB1 (I hope you understand that (by the way, what was that theme?)) brought tears to my eyes.
After the longest review I've written in a long time, that passage comes on once again. I salute you, Setu-Firestorm. You helped me more than you can ever know.
Please respond, just so I know you read this.
