This soundtrack is absolutely incredible. 21 tracks with so much quality and emotion.

It's amazing that you managed to compose what is quite honestly, a full soundtrack in such a short time. I could totally see this being part of some incredible indie game that breaks all records, especially with all the story ( and gameplay details ) you give with the description of each track.

Now, I don't to point fingers, but considering your mention of Link's Awakening, and how much this reminds me of games like Skyward Sword ( and a little bit of Twilight Princess ), I  think there was some inspiration from the Zelda series' music. It's a great place to pull inspiration from, and i think you captured the feeling of those soundtracks beautifully.

I'm sorry i couldn't go over each track individually ( like you did for my submission ), since I'm not nearly good enough for that, but i will say that every single track made me verbally admit how shocked i am.

 Absolutely fantastic job, and a definite 1st place candidate in my book.  😁

Thank you so much for the feedback, it is so appreciated :)

I would really, really like to see this game come to fruition somehow-- but I wouldn't know the first place to start with that, so who knows if it'll ever happen.

I wouldn't say the soundtrack was directly inspired by the likes of Legend of Zelda-- at least not from a compositional perspective. I simply haven't played enough Zelda games, honestly! From a sonic perspective, though, I can shamelessly admit that WITH the close-mic woodwind sound present in tracks like Nettle Glade (Day), The Oasis, and The Thornway (Day), I was trying to emulate the new Link's Awakening. If you go and check out my soundtrack Animula (MUCH shorter than this one, I promise XD) you can hear a more direct inspiration from Breath of the Wild, at least in the first two tracks. And if anything, this is a good excuse to go check out Twilight Princess' soundtrack!

No stress about going over each track-- there's a lot of them, that would be super unrealistic. I appreciate that you even listened to all of them! And again, your soundtrack was really great-- good job!

Hey, just listened to it, it's really good as well!

I can definitely hear the breath of the wild inspiration with the ambient tracks ( also sorry for the Zelda inspiration accusation. i thought i was pretty spot on, but i guess it was in my head haha ). 

And to be quite honest, i think it is always a good excuse to check out Twilight Princess's soundtrack! Such an amazing game lol.

( Also thank you for all the compliments! It means a lot 😁 )
