I'm really conflicted right now. I'm about to start editing my Zelda montage but I can't find good music for it. You gorls wanna help me out? I'm looking for Zelda music, remixes maybe but dear god no dubstep
Great, thanks for making me revisit my past... If you're looking for rock-based remixes, then sasukeshika has some. Favorite one is Bolero of Fire, but it's really short. Someone extended it, but this was way back then -- the remix itself was posted in 2009 -- and I don't know if the video even exists anymore. Link:

More mellow is this remix of Great Fairy's Fountain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdI_y4Urcso. This brings back memories... Remix is 9 years old and I still remember it. Great Fairy's Fountain is probably my favorite reoccurring Zelda piece. I don't know how to explain it, but over Ganondorf's theme, Zelda's Lullaby, the Zelda theme itself, whatever, Great Fairy's Fountain tops it all. One-shot or reoccurring pieces, however, there's plenty. At this point, I'm just drowning in nostalgia and not taking into consideration of what you want.
Still mellow and also old as ****, this Minuet of Forest remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5zAyHfLOxo. I vaguely remember a comment way back saying it sounded like it came from Castlevania. Having never played a Castlevania game outside of Lord of Shadows which had more orchestral music, I can't say. Man, I feel old.
Aside from that, don't really have anything else I can pull from memory. Checked some and there's stuff like this happy Lost Woods/Saria's Song Orchestral Remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8E2zS1hkzE, and a Requiem of Spirit remix that sounds like something you'd hear from a superhero film where it's all epic and powerful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulykhEHbdLE. Same person who did the Requiem of Spirit remix also has one for Saria's Song that could work:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyu0UDfDDZ4. It also reminds me of Dark Cloud 2.
Oh, and if you ever need some creepy music, check this remix of Stone Tower Temple:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ZTyCxbdok. There's actually a kind of "upbeat" part of it, but it's like a way to show desperation which considering Majora's Mask's setting and what the Stone Tower Temple is and where it's located, is appropriate.
And if all else fails: Guile's Theme.
