This is a cover I made back in 2013 of the music that plays in the overworld in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. There are a couple of variations on the repeat here, so I hope you give it a listen past the first repeat! I particularly really like the one that starts at 02:01. I tried hard to really give this song the feeling that Link's Awakening should have--cheerful, adventurous, disconnected, surreal, and with a shadow of darkness looming over it.

This is part of a huge re-orchestration I did of almost the entire Link's Awakening soundtrack. In anticipation of the new remake coming out for the Nintendo Switch, I have decided to finish uploading the entire project to YouTube. If this video doesn't take too long to upload, I can probably have the whole thing up within a week! You can find more information about the project on my now-defunct SoundCloud page here: https://soundcloud.com/user2569375/sets/links-awakening-re
