So soothing. . .I used to beat ALttP over and over again just so I could listen to this tune. Like crazydan05 said, it's so sad but so strong; the bittersweet tone of it makes for the perfect end of a journey filled with love and loss.
But your rendition honesty just made a classic VG track even better. The strings really pull you in, giving it a floating, ethereal sound quality fitting for the fantasy-type game from which it originated. The only problem I have is that the ending is a little too abrupt; I feel a more flowing, echo-y ending extension of about 3-5 seconds would have sufficed. Your ending sets up for a good place for mood-breaking record scratch and an outtake reel x3
I love it. 4.5/5 stars.
