It's the sequel to my first RushJet1 copycat album, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Remade! I knew I wanted to cover this soundtrack in VRC6 since before I finished the first album. There's just so much amazing music from this game and I wanted to do this underrated classic justice. Just like the first one, this album has 3 different overworld themes, 6 versions of the classic palace theme, and a bunch of souped-up boss themes.
I'm really proud of how this turned out. The nature of this game's music allowed me to do more intense, energetic arrangements compared to the creepier, more ambient sound of the first game's dungeons. I think my favorites were Island Palace and Great Palace, I got to do some cool stuff with those.
About the video itself: I am not this good at Zelda II. It's heavily spliced; the original recordings were 3 hours in total so a lot of bad attempts were cut. There might be a couple of errors in there, but I'm pretty sure I got everything major. It should be a decent way to experience the soundtrack, although Bandcamp is really where you should go.
Finally, you might be wondering what's next. Link to the Past? Link's Awakening? Well, I'm probably going to take a break from doing Zelda soundtracks for a while. Next time I do a project like this, it'll be from a different franchise. And I think I'll take a break from the style anyway. I'm imitating the style of someone else, not really cultivating my own, and I've already tried to separate myself from RushJet1 in this album. I'm going to focus on branching out in styles and maybe even trying some originals. We'll see.
