    Okay, you just went and straight-invented a new genre here. This is _so_ dang good! For real, the way this remix traverses a wide array of styles and approaches, and does so in ways that feel creative and slick... it's truly incredible.
    I love that this remix is consistently surprising. I know that seems like an oxymoron, but it feels like the music constantly mixes up patterns and deviates from the expected, in that it becomes a hallmark of the song. The surprises literally start at 0:12, with the kick being on the upbeat of beat 1, where I was like, "okay, what?". For me, that kind of just set the tone, and you continue with rhythms that are off-kilter, where they feel tight and quantized, but not what you'd expect in typical EDM/House music. It's very refreshing and fun to hear! And on the topic of percussive elements, the auxiliary percussion here is so colorful and varied! In particular, I really like the percussion that has a sort of metallic/clinking feel. And those finger snaps sound so crisp, and the mixing with the snares and claps is absolutely immaculate!
    Dude, your arrangement here is so rich and robust! For instance, the synth brass that comes in at 0:26 starts in unison with the melody, but then it branches off and does its own thing with this very pleasant moving harmony! And it was a treat to hear it again at 2:02, alongside what sounds like an alternate chord progression. The arrangement aspect is something I really enjoy most about music, and this has to be one of my favorite arrangements of yours yet.
    My goodness, those SFX! As usual, they feel like an integral part of the song, and the timing and usage here are _tight_ as heck! Like, I'm talking down to the millisecond tight. The part at 0:46 (and again later at 2:22) sounds really pretty, and I can't tell whether it's a bell instrument, or a pitched version of Tatl's voice when she teaches Link songs in Majora's Mask... in any case, it's excellent! And man, that "oogh-a-ya-yahhhhhhh!" at 1:08 was so creative and cool! But then you one-up yourself and revamp that effect at 2:44 with the adult Link cry - talk about attention to detail!
    Also, I can't not mention the video editing here - it's superb! There's a great array of nostalgic footage, and I love that so much of it lines up with shifts and SFX clips in the music! It must have taken a good deal of time and effort to coordinate, but the result is well worth it! Just a stellar video overall, Player2 - mad props! 🌟

      Haha, wow I'm honored to have made a "new" genre! I don't hear that very often 😅
      I discovered a new orchestra pack that I felt was a perfect fit for this remix, so a remaster was definitely in order!
      Most of those percussive elements are actually modulated panned marimbas that compliment the generic hat/clap/snare; it definitely makes them feel more on the "crisp" side of things, and when you take something like the kick & have it spread out so far so you only hear it a few times each measure, it allows for the other surrounding sounds to shine!
      I'm glad you picked out the 0:26 brass section in particular, as when I came up with, for lack of better term, "counter-melody", I wanted to make sure it allowed the listener the classic notes on the left speaker & a new, fun melody on the right speaker. I'm starting to get very fancy with my panning as of late, since I typicaly leave 90% of my elements in the center, which doesn't provide that "wide" experience!
      I felt I was rather tame with the SFX in this one, haha. I could have applied more, but the melody felt right with less, so I guess you're right...now becuase there's less SFX in the overall mix, the ones that _are_ there shine through even more! I do enjoy a good Link scream as a pre-drop vocal effect, that will never get old!
      Sometimes I find myself enjoying the video editing more than the music itself 🤣
      Alas, thank you as always for another incredible & enjoyable comment to reply to, I appreciate your attention to detail!
      OH, and congrats on your Rival Battle remix - I'm just so humbled to be a part of this vast VGM remix community!

    Awesome remix! Love the use of SFX! You really got your own unique style of house music! I think I'd easily recognize a P2 remix in a lineup of VGM remixes, and that's really good! It's important to be unique in some way and develop your own personal character. Superb job as always! 👌

      That was something that I never thought I would achieve! Truly, if you were to ask me five years ago how to distiguish myself from the crowd, I wouldn't have had an answer; but now hearing from comments that my music _is_ identifiable from others is so humbling to hear! Thank you so much, man!
