Sorry for the late reply.
I posted one on saturday,but it was from a PC of a japanese friend of mine,so maybe this is why the post got lost.

I love Undrerworld theme from ALTTP too and since here are some Nintendo fan,i will try to post some of Nintendo theme played and re-arranged by me,hoping people can enjoy.

Starting with those:

Kirby’s Fountain of Dreams

Kirby’s Battle for Popstar (Marx theme)

your comment got cutoff at the end – its a cliffhanger :p

wow thats cool to perform such classic stuff – Lost Woods is absolutely amazing too – - really genuinely magical and enchanting sounding…

I also REALLY love Underworld Theme from ALTTP – - I have to say that unlike a lot of people I also liked Wind Waker a lot – and I love a fair few off that too; Windfall Island, the music that plays when you’re inside a house with all the cello plucking is cool too, as is the music in Forest Haven with the gamelan sounding type stuff :)

You know what Raytrace?

I did a concert (just because some Nintendo fans asked us to do,in private form) some time ago with a quintet and many Zelda song rearranged by me.
These were not the main ones on the track list (i’m a huge fan of Kirby and Mother),but i played a couple from OOT,MM and ALTTP.

Included Epona’s song too,which is one of my favourite with Lost Woods theme and Ganondorf Tower theme.
Really a great theme.Koji Kondo genius strokes once again.:-)

I’m been asked to do something official,but

this is TOTALLY geeky – but I have indeed been thinking of buying one of these for quite a while:

I’d probably get the songbook one so I could play ‘Epona’ I love that bloody song lol

there’s actually a ‘vocal’ version on one of the soundtracks – great stuff

in a completely off-topic aside – Epona is a Gaulic/Celtic goddess of fertility and horses

Shiggy did his research well :p

Same to me Raytrace.^^
I hope Nintendo will create a new Zelda for Ds where you can play Ocarina,by using the microphone or some tool.

For now,i enjoy the blowing games in Sawaru Made in Wario and the blowing part in Phantom Hourglass.

Here in Italy,near to the city called Brescia (the place where Ocarina is from) there is a sort of museum dedicated to this istrument.
Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma visited there before create Zelda OOT.

when I see an ocarina I think not of hippies, mung beans and petuli, but of the wondrous world of Hyrule and Zelda :)

that little app might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back which will force me to get an iPhone :p
