Dude, ever since you posted this link I've been listening to this nonstop. After looking at some more Ocarina of Rhyme mixes, this is one of the few that I think is at least halfway decent (even though OoR has a pretty interesting concept overall).
Glad you like it! I agree that the original idea was cool, but the only two I can listen to more than once are that one and the Goron City one. Some of the Metal remixes of Zelda songs are pretty sweet too. This one's probably my favorite.
Hm...that's an interesting idea. I'm going to test that out right now.
Seeing clownbot quote this really reminded me just how much I hate Ocarina of Rhyme. All it is is taking the lyrics from a rap song and slamming them on top of a song from Zelda. The lyrics are absolutely irrelevant to Zelda, and there is absolutely zero talent behind getting the lyrical track from one song, and just laying it over another beat. This is an insult to both Zelda, and most likely to the rappers who made the songs - If they actually, you know, remixed it a bit, then I'd be cool with it. But just copy+pasting lyrics? That is nothing more than an insult.
Well, pretty much every game metal band has a Zelda remix. Checking out the Minibosses, NESkimos, Game Over, and I'd even say look at Duane and Brand0s catalog of songs and see if they have anything Zelda-related. Newgrounds also probably has some stuff.
Yeah, there's various stuff here and there, but I think he may have been referring to the quality of Metroid Metal and The Black Mages
I'm just copy and pasting these into Youtube while studying for my art history exam tomorrow morning. Thank you so much.
well, first of all, I disagree partially because I like OoR, but also because I think you're wrong about it taking no talent, and also, i think that that is kind of irrelevant. For one, slapping some lyrics on a song is not as easy as you make it sound, you realize that not every song will work on any given beat? If they didn't find the right raps to go over the OoT songs, then it wouldn't have sounded good at all. Secondly, why is that even an issue? That shouldn't influence whether or not it sounds good, and personally, I think it sounds awesome, so I don't really care if they made it in two minutes.
I'm going to have to agree with you. It's not an artistic masterpiece, but all forms of work don't have to be pure to be good. Slapping together whatever materials you can find can often yield interesting results, and in this case, the Ocarina of Rhyme turned out to work. I find it interesting that as unique as something may seem, there's always something out there that's similar in some regard. Finding the beauty in that is the true work, and whoever found the semblance between OoT songs and the rap used with it found beauty in their unlikely and unintended synchronization.
Ocarina of Rhyme kind of reminds me of this, except not as good:
Listening to music takes talent? I'm... not quite sure what you were getting at here. Sure, you'd have to listen to music a lot, but most people already DO listen to music a lot. It doesn't take very much talent at all to tell when something sounds good or to tell if it sounds bad.
It's an issue because Ocarina of Rhyme takes itself seriously. If it was like that Snoop Dogg/Kirby Remix I'd have no problem with it. However, Team Teamwork sees Ocarina of Rhyme as a serious musical endeavor, which it most definitely is not.
for the first point, I'll merely say that I doubt most people could make OoR, and that you most certainly could not.
Seven years of playing guitar and a good three of music theory. I most certainly could. Somebody who just listens to music a lot could. It's not that hard to judge if a lyric track sounds good on an instrument track.
That's cool.
Dude I love that video. I have it on my iPod.
Oh man, I loved that theme. I thought it fit perfectly.
High five! 99% of people like the theme, but it's just silly. Jalhalla's is indeed far better.
I don't blame you. The Ganon battle theme really doesn't fit in with Zelda, but it reminds me so much of the Fire Temple music that I just can't dislike it
Yeah, I agree. There's definitely something unsettling about that music.
Agreed, everyone always talks about how great Molgera's Theme is, but I never really liked it. The Mini-Boss theme was always my favorite battle theme of WW, and behind that, definitely Jalhalla.
I'm sure they do. I've watched my friend play OoT and Majora's Mask, and I've played a bit of OoT myself, but I honestly didn't care much for most of the music... I do like most of what I've heard from him playing Wind Waker, though.
