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!
Thank you _so_ much!! You'd be surprised how many comments I've received that say people recognize my music based on my buildups; I take it as a major compliment 😅
And dare I say your comments are the highlight of _my_ Fridays! I absolutely love hearing the stories & memories from fellow video game fans!! 🙌 thank you!!
you have outdone yourself again this has so much panache and flair I just love how this sounds I'm gonna be bopping my head and booty to this for months if not longer
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!
There’s a part of me that’s like, “just keep making new music”, but honestly I can’t help but want to make my old music sound better, haha! Now you can enjoy multiple versions 😉
Thank you for saying that!! I always overthink remastering my older remixes, but this one was in DEEP need of a remaster, it was struggling both musically & visually to capture the attention, haha 😅
Oooo baby! This version hits so good. Dang dude great job. I remember paying 70 bucks for this game.... How have prices of video games not gone up since.... Botw base game was 60....
Thanks my man! Appreciate you 👊 You paid 70?! I thought N64 games were no more than $50? That's what I remember paying for mine...but you're not wrong, prices (for everything, really) have skyrocketed since the 1990's

This remix is the best remix of Kokiri Forest I have ever heard! I wish it was on the iTunes Store.
Haha that’s an _honor_ to hear!! Thank you!! I’ve submitted this remix to streaming services; should be on iTunes by August!
@@ProducerPlayer2 Ooh great! I’m totally gonna get it
I'm always looking forward to the entry of build up and hear your fantastic unique voices in your remixes. You're absolutely amazing!
Thank you _so_ much!! You'd be surprised how many comments I've received that say people recognize my music based on my buildups; I take it as a major compliment 😅
Your remixes are so clean! And the drop at 1:08 is awesome! :D
MY man! Thank you, it was time for a change on this remix, it was _too_ obscure from my original style of music, haha 😅
That’s the classic Player2 drop for you!
The best Zelda game ever
OOT never disappoints!!! 🗡🛡
Your remixes are the highlight of my Fridays and I always look forward to the new content you put out! Nicely done on this remix!
And dare I say your comments are the highlight of _my_ Fridays! I absolutely love hearing the stories & memories from fellow video game fans!! 🙌 thank you!!
you have outdone yourself again this has so much panache and flair I just love how this sounds I'm gonna be bopping my head and booty to this for months if not longer
haha if kokiri forest can get the booty shakin' that's a big W for me! 😆
Nostalgic. Love
My dude! 🙏
I really dig the way you wander away from the original and let the beat go nuts. And you don't overuse the sfx. Kudos
Thank you! I like to add _just_ the right amount of flair without diving into the deep end 😅
Once again, amazing! You are an absolute musical genius
Hahaha nah I wouldn’t say I’m a genius; I’m just taking someone else’s song & spicing it up! 🙃
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! 👌

Once again, P2 does not miss 😎
That's how I roll! 🔥
Super pleasant to listen, great job with the sound effects of the game
Thank you _very_ much! That's my favorite part about producing remixes is finding out which SFX I can implement! 🙌
it's so good ❤️
Thank you _very_ much! 🧡
Yo it’s that guy from Smash Bros! Great remix though by the way, it has a different style than your other songs! Can’t wait to hear this weeks’!
I find myself branching out into new styles when the opportunity presents itself! Thanks my man! 🔥
i knew i remembered this one! i think i still have the original file from way back on the old p2 website (and the splatoon and flat zone ones too)
There’s a part of me that’s like, “just keep making new music”, but honestly I can’t help but want to make my old music sound better, haha! Now you can enjoy multiple versions 😉
I'm so glad you made another version of this. It' awesome.
Thank you for saying that!! I always overthink remastering my older remixes, but this one was in DEEP need of a remaster, it was struggling both musically & visually to capture the attention, haha 😅
Your drops are always so cold bro! I cannot wait to play a bunch of your shit at 2D con man :)
My bro! Gotta stay frosty, right? 😉
Oh man, that’s awesome! I gotta get you an updated folder of my latest music 🔥
@@ProducerPlayer2 duuuude but fr that would be amazing!
Love it :3
Thank you!!! Appreciate your support 🙌
You're a REAL MAN lol
HAH! I'm glad you caught that, 'twas a strange NPC dialogue for a game like this 🤣
@@ProducerPlayer2 it's possible there was a translation issue.. but I bet it was meant to be sarcastic. Lol
Oooo baby! This version hits so good. Dang dude great job. I remember paying 70 bucks for this game.... How have prices of video games not gone up since.... Botw base game was 60....
Thanks my man! Appreciate you 👊
You paid 70?! I thought N64 games were no more than $50? That's what I remember paying for mine...but you're not wrong, prices (for everything, really) have skyrocketed since the 1990's
70 bucks used ???? I still have my copy. It's not the original but second version. It still has the Moon crescent symbol on the blue stones of Time
All this time, I thought that first 8th note was right on the first beat...
Same! The melody was confusing because the original soundtrack didn't have any percussion
Please can you do "Death by Glamour" from Undertale ?
Of course! I’ll add that to my queue; thank you for your suggestion!
Can you do undertale and deltarune remixes pleasw
Absolutely! I'm still diving into the indie-game realm...but, rest assured, Undertale & Deltarune remixes are on the way! 🙌
@@ProducerPlayer2 thanks dude
ez first view
Confirmed first 😎
