OBSOLETE - All download links are dead
Go to this superior ROM rip instead: Thread 172599
The YouTube playlist is still working, by the way.
Thank you for all your support and understanding.

Original post follows
-----------------------

Note: I've already posted this in the Requests section earlier, but since this is the proper place, I'll post it here, too.
This is the original thread: Thread 164294

To download my complete game rip in MP3 format, you need all three of these files:
https://mega.co.nz/#!lEwjXCCD!C1jFB1rWT9aK0wdj0jLbZWNBbQ5vRKfU8CojzbA oYEY (the main archive)
https://mega.co.nz/#!lBADza5B!WFFWqCNDQ9NBjJOpNi3aUW4AjwVoJvDNFTFjZgD xlY0 (some tracks I missed initially)
https://mega.co.nz/#!ERZSCDaL!MFbMwUObYvsmkbGDjLQ_0hBHudN1zJ-gB7Tr0u0q5-o (more tracks I missed)
The format is MP3 48kHz 256kbps CBR. Other formats (WAV/OGG/AAC/whatever) possible on request.

To download my complete game rip in FLAC format, you need both of these files:
https://mega.co.nz/#!tc4WkZyA!B2XC9yPx-eEqYthaxVS8iS_4VTwWVE3WfCl8Lqcsxzk
https://mega.co.nz/#!EMoSlYQL!GXL6j3BXWYOgqa76ZfvjfyWyVEIbA25Jo221D2E INkg

And here's a YouTube playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNHXNlW1uvA&list=PLpVpBRIlzWuDcmJMwxzURjCxYDwG79UrA

This game rip should be nearly complete. A few tracks can't be recorded without sound effects, most of these are included regardless, with sound effects.

Greetings.

Sorry to say this, but I'm a representative of the company who currently holds copyrights to this soundtrack. As such, I'll be "confiscating" this compilation to my own little horde.

In other words, thanks for the upload. xP

i got a tip if you have sound effects in your sound tracks...
but if theres soundtracks like when entering a dark world or getting the master sword could be hard but for entering dark world is fine for some reason...

tip :

go to a safe place with no monsters and record the soundtrack,
if theres monsters kill them all.

Actually I recorded most of it when the game was paused (item menu), because that mutes all sound effects. That doesn't work in cutscenes or at the very start of some tracks, though, so that's why some tracks still have sound effects. It can't be helped until Nintendo decides to release a soundtrack.

Thank you for all your hard work on this rip! I just downloaded it, as I just finished it (first time around). ^.^ It was pleasantly surprising to see you were behind this rip, as I've been listening to ALBW music that you posted on YouTube as I've progressed through the game. I didn't want to download a rip and see spoilers in song titles, so I've just listened to specific songs on YT up to this point. Now that I've finished it, I can enjoy this amazing music to the fullest, thanks to you! :)

Not a complaint, but I wanted to mention a couple of things missing: The Shadow Link StreetPass battle music from Zelda II, and presumably the StreetPass loss theme (I see you have the victory theme). There was a huge (not to mention epic) score from this game, and I know it was a task finding everything!

Now, I'm going to stick these on my iPod and enjoy musical Zelda bliss. :)

I know, this is one of the tracks I'm missing, but I can't record this without sound effects (and it's not just footsteps, but also weapon sounds and Link's screams, unfortunately) because the game can't be paused in StreetPass Battle Mode. I found it highly unpleasant to listen to a recording of this great music with these annoying sounds. However, I do have a recording of it, the StreetPass loss jingle and the Octoball minigame - since I've been asked a few times now, I might publish them, but I can only do so tomorrow.

I'm trying to work with this rip and remove SFX as best I can they are turning out pretty good IMO, but you guys can be the judges when I'm finished with it. Hopefully you guys will be pleased with the results. Some I didn't do because it effected the music too much. I'll post a mediafire link when I'm done so keep checking back... I should be finished with it in a few hours :D btw if the author has ones that they omitted because of SFX send me those either through a pm or here so I can see if I can do something with them.

This is complete and utter rubbish. I'd like to know what was going through your head when you decided not to release an official soundtrack to this game Nintendo. Not even on Club Nintendo Japan?

Forcing people to have to try and do extra work to get as little SFX in their rips as possible? You should release OSTs for many 3DS games as well. Mario Tennis Open, Mario Kart 7... etc. Also Mario Kart 8 should, assuming it has good music.

The enhancement sounds good - the music volume has increased and the sound is richer, but I noticed the high reverb in some tracks, most brassy ones like "Hyrule Castle #1" or "Witch's Hut", are a bit too much, at least in my opinion, they sound a little distorted. But all in all, pretty good job!!! ;)

You've done an amazing thing in putting this rip together, Helsonium. Thanks so much.

Can I be incredibly selfish and ask you to record a sound effect for me? It's that echoing three-note chime that plays whenever Hilda contacts you (i.e. when you warp to a new area in Lorule, or right outside Lorule Castle at the end of the game.) I just think it'd make a great text notification. If not, that's okay - I'm sure I can just record it with my phone from the 3DS speaker, but I'm sure it'd sound nicer being directly captured. Either way, thanks.

I've taken Helsonium's rip and improved them with my years of Zelda research, and am even working on translating some of the names into romaji in prep for the Japanese release (I have knowledge of the Japanese games so I am using what I know here). With Helsonium's permission I will even put the in a more comprehensible order, and tag them properly (for example, the StreetPass theme was originally composed by Akito Nakatsuka, NOT Koji Kondo).

Do whatever you need to do - basically that's why I released this "raw" rip in the first place - but I still believe (and hope) an official soundtrack will be released eventually anyway. When you change the order, don't forget to leave space for the tracks that are still missing.

I personally wouldn't worry too much about it, it's unlikely they'll do anything worse than sending takedown requests (and even these might just be [semi-]automatic).
You should just know that MEGA will more or less automatically comply with such requests if it gets some, they don't delete the files but render the links useless.
