Zelda: Link’s Awakening footage showing Mr. Write, Dampé, Tal Tal Heights

It's like they're tuning back the highs to keep it sounding cute in order to fit the diarama look they're going for.
Yeah, it works well for the direction they're going with, but I reckon the score as a whole is definitely going to sound more subdued as a result. Mysterious Woods and the mini-boss theme certainly lack the dynamic punch of the GB original.
I'm actually liking this rendition of Tal Tal Heights -- the strings work is immaculate -- but I 'm going to miss the inherently epic drive of the original. Taylor Davis really knocked it out of the park with her version, and for a strings-based arrangement, I feel something like this would have slotted in perfectly with Link's Awakening's new sound:

I've wanted that new Tal Tal Heights arrangement ever since the trailer, so I am a happy camper. It sounds immaculate.
Cutesy tootsy flutesy Zelda sucks.
Ok, it's a spinoff. I'll look at this as a spinoff as I did with ALBW. (It still kinda sucks so far.)
I'm getting kind of sick of Dampe showing up. I'm fine with legacy characters and recurring character archetypes, but to just randomly have the same Dampe over and over again is silly.
It fits this game's plot better, sure, but still.

Damn, I'm so hype if they do this.
Also seems like the music is more subdued than the original to allow the sound design of the game to shine. This game will be such a treat with headphones.
Hate to have to be the one to break this to you but they said as much during E3. The build-your-own-dungeon thing is replacing him, hence the new character where his shack used to be.
I do think the disparity between the anime cutscene and gameplay is a bit odd. Would have been a bit better to find a way to make those match more. But the game itself looks nice. Just hope theres more to it then a 1:1 recreation of the old game.
We've got some comments like "WHY DID YOU STOP MOVING FOR 2 MINUTES"
how is this sequence breaking? you got the feather... that gives you access to other places... this isn't out of sequence
drums might help... maybe some guitar or banjo
the music in general lacks something ...

They spend a minute just sitting in front of the owl. Just skip ahead if you get to that part. Nothing new happens.
It's definitely against the spirit of the demo, which is set to end after you beat the Cavern, in which you found Roc's Feather. Hence why there was, afaik, no footage of it until now
Check the post above lol
The music doesn't seem and prominent nor does it seem to reach the same highs as the original :( I think the instrument choice, although still sounding very beautiful, makes the soundtrack a big more subdued.
I still really enjoy this rendition of the soundtrack but most of the stuff I've heard isn't giving me that punchy feeling the original gave. Especially Tal Tal Hieghts and the forest.
