On Christmas day six years ago, one boy had a legitimate dream: To recreate the soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, making it sound like it was recorded by live musicians. Three-fifths of a decade passed, and the boy became a man. More importantly, the Zelda Reorchestrated project produced its first succulent fruits: A 22-track compilation of Ocarina's tunes, as performed by a virtual philharmonic.
You can stream some of the tracks off the Zelda Reorchestrated site, or download the entire shebang for free. Or, you can just wait for the group to recreate the timeless music of Wand of Gamelon, which should be just around the corner.

Zelda Universe has them up for download, as well. They also have links to the same torrents, I believe.

It isn't working for me either. The site/server is probably being swamped right now. I'll bookmark it and come back later today.

Well if Link isn't working for you then you've obviously come to the wrong place, champ!

I remember that place, they have total dick admins. Ban you from the IRC because you argue with them about some opinion.

Sadly, that's how near about every minor site dedicated to something on the web is. i.e. Gmod forums.
Man, that reminds me of the worst thing ever. this Xenogears fansite where this guy said if anyone ever asks him if he has a link to the perfect works book, he'd ban their IP from his site. People on the net sure let power go to their heads, and show their true dickery.

Quite a few of dickheads over @ the cheapassgamer too. Not moderators necessarily, but other misc. douchebags that seem to think they are holier than thou for only getting one free copy of a game than someone that gets multiple copies.

this is a great idea and i'm definitely enjoying this on a novelty level, but a small part of me agrees with colonel sanders. i do sampling/production and when i look at how they used these samples it's kind of uncreative, i think a lot more could have been done here. but hey, easier to be a critic, right?
and even i'll admit, that busta rhymes one is FIRE.

Yeah, you don't fuck with the colonel. When you fuck with the Colonel, bad things will happen.

The Colonel is 'almost' unbeatable. But I have this footage of him getting destroyed by the Burger King.

Agreed. Wind Waker is definitely one of my favorites in the series.

A Link to the Past is a fantastic game, It's one of the best games on all time.

A Link To The Past is the ultimate Zelda game, and one of the best titles on the SNES. If you are familiar with the SNES library, you know there's a lot of competition. If you don't have a working SNES, the GBA version had some improvements (and Four Swords compatibility), or there's the VC version.

It's not 22 tracks. The 22 were additional tracks that they worked on. There are actually a total of 82 tracks:

Actually, to be more accurate, they finished the album. Meaning: they finished every song in Ocarina of Time. Those 22 songs are just the ones they released on Christmas.

Found a torrent, actually, which might be good to use to avoid destroying the mirror.

They had a list of mirrors but I unfortunately didn't copy them all down--just the one I used.

The reorchesrated music is great. We need more Zelda music from other Zelda games to be re-done.

Fantastic!! Regardless of it being virtual or live players, the compositions themselves take some serious talent. The beginning of Zelda's Theme sounds a lot like it should be in Super Mario Galaxy, but the song is magnificent.
