Hello guys! So I have a friend who wishes to remain anonymous who gave me the ALBW music files! So I figured I'd make a legit, complete, full rip. The only songs missing are the synthesized tracks...which, bizzarely, the game uses. They include things like Hilda's/Sarshala's telepathic message background music, and the Irene Bell. Oh, and the moving between worlds jingle.
Anyways, this is my first OST. I've downloaded tons of OSTs from FFshrine before, and even though I've really never played a Final Fantasy game before, I figure this is a great time to give back to the forums.

Anyhoo, without further ado, I present, to you, the A Link Between Worlds OST!


FLAC and MP3 Versions HERE (https://mega.co.nz/#F!w9xijJRL!nw1d0YlFbvfOwwLfQS1MFg)



FLAC and MP3 versions are included. Songs are ID3 tagged with album art.

This is my first OST rip, as I said earlier, so if I did anything wrong, or need to redo anything, let me know! :)

Line-in rip or rom-file rip?

These are some really minor gripes, but:

1. Tracks 7 and 8 are both tagged as "You Got a Small Item!"...track 7 should be retagged as something like "You Got a Key !" or "You Got a Big Item!"

2. I'm not too fond of the track numbers being "split" (i.e. 50a and 50b)...I understand using them for variant tracks, but tracks 57a and 57b aren't variants (likewise, the Lorule Castle tracks are counted separately).

3. This is [I]extremely nitpicky (the reason why I'm putting this very last), but there are some inconsistencies with track names (spelling, capitalizations, continuation of titles [i.e. "Hyrulian Boss Battle" goes to "Boss Battle (Lorule)"], et cetera) that you might iron out.

Again, these are really just nitpicks...otherwise, your rip is much appreciated!

how did you get the cutscene music without sfx...is this a line in recording? or a rom file rip?
please teach me?

Thanks a lot!

Wow, thanks :)

Thanks !

Thank you!

Looks to be a rom rip, because the Hyrule Dungeons piece doesn't have the Link entering dungeon sound in it that is in the Line ripped versions.

I guess since it also includes a botched version of the Milk Bar Death mountain music is also a telltale sign its a rom rip.

fantastic, thanks !

ROM file rip.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix it once I get more feedback.

I'll fix a bunch of issues at once.

This is a terrific rip. At last, a clean version of Octoball Derby! =D

Mucho thanks to you and your friend!

Great! Do you plan to upload a V2.0 with corrections?

Does a ROM rip (in this case) mean we can finally extract the music files from 3DS games?

Because that's awesome if it's true!! Thanks again for the music, robotortoise!! ALBW is honestly one of my favorite Zelda games!! (This coming from the guy whose first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time.)

Thanks.

Great! Do you plan to upload a V2.0 with corrections?

Eventually, yes. But I'd like to get more feedback first, as I want to do all the corrections at once.

Some people can; I can't. A friend of mine did this for me.

Some people can; I can't. A friend of mine did this for me.

Sorry, what I meant to ask is if this meant that it's finally possible to rip the music from the 3DS ROMs, not if people can do it (because your friend already did).

And, by the way, the music sounds GREAT!! None of that hissing noise a line-in rip tends to come with!! So don't think I don't appreciate this, because I DEFINITELY DO!!

the boss defeated fanfare is missing the first half unfortunately

thanks

Just for everyone's information:

This could have been ripped in two ways:

1. Through a RAM dump of the game

2. Through actual rom decryption methods.

I would like to believe it was the first one, not the second. Because even though there are people who KNOW how to DECRYPT 3DS roms... they won't share it because "HURR ENCOURAGING PIRACY". Which is retarded, but eh, what can you do?

Anyway, big thanks to you, robotortoise1 for uploading this amazing thing here. And props to your friend for ripping it.

At first, I thought this was going to be a YouTube rip thread; but this sounds promising! I'll be downloading and giving back some feedback, thanks!

EDIT: This is the real deal, holy shit! Just a heads-up, if you're going to offer MP3; I'd have 320kbps over 90kbps. It's not really an issue since I can convert FLAC, but for future reference.

EDIT 2: In the unused track, is that...a gunshot at the end?


the boss defeated fanfare is missing the first half unfortunately

It's actually only in the original version, I got confused by it too.

I'll be fixing that for V2.0 :)

[QUOTE=The12thGripper;2658765 EDIT 2: In the unused track, is that...a gunshot at the end?

It sounds to me like the slam that happens with the breathing sound effect. Apparently the breathing sound effect isn't part of the song.

I'll be fixing that for V2.0 :)
Good, since "Yuga Flees" converts with popping or not at all and "Swamp Palace" converts into a silent song for me. I would also love to see you try to get that missing fanfare from your friend.

Do you think you could release the songs in bcstm or whatever format that they came off the 3DS ROM as?

EDIT: useless post, wish I could delete my own posts by I digress.

Do you think you could release the songs in bcstm or whatever format that they came off the 3DS ROM as?

Errr....I could release them as converted wavs, not sure about the bcstms.

Thank you :)

Thank you so much, I'm downloading it right now!

You said you're going to upload a V2 version, right? I'm looking forward to that one c:

I, too, am waiting for the V2 - how's the progress on that coming along?

I, too, am waiting for the V2 - how's the progress on that coming along?

My friend gave me the sound effect files, so I'm combing through them for the breath sounds at the end of 2 of the Milk Bar tracks.

EDIT: Nevermind I'm an idiot. Apparently they were in the music tracks the whole time.
Anywayyyyys I'll get started on V2 ASAP. I have stuff to do, namely school, TF2 server stuff, etc, but I'll finish it ASAP.

Also I've got the jingles. :)

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

On an unrelated note, apparently the Botched Death Mountain theme can be made to play ingame.

Or so I've heard. Can anyone provide proof of this?

A fellow TF2 player? :)

Also I've got the jingles. :)

Since your bud sent you the SFX tracks, the HOME Channel music should be in there if Super Mario 3D Land is anything to go by. Do include that as well!

On a side-note, is your friend willing to rip other games? I'm curious to see if there's any beta/unused tracks in X/Y (and it would also be nice to get the original version of the Xerneas/Yveltal battle theme and the Happy Birthday song directly from the game) and some other games I would also like to see rips at some point of are PMD: Gates to Infinity, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Mario Tennis Open, Mario Golf: World Tour, and probably a bunch I don't remember.

Unfortunately, he's not actually distributing the files himself. He has a friend who's giving them to him. It's like a chain of friends.

Anyways, I'll check out the Main Menu music thing. :)

I can't open the file when I download the mp3.. somebody help? I have winzip & winrar but All I get is a single file I can do nothing with...

Try 7-zip.

Hi guys! Can I have some help naming the jingles, please? Here they are: http://www.breakfastbungalow.biz/robotortoise/identification.zip

I can't recall where they're used.

103b = secret found or Puzzle Solved
Jack_0829.wav = failed a minigame/died in treachery tower/possibly died in general
Jack_0875.wav = got a key or minor item ...i think???

I think the rest is various stages of minigame success
Jack_0926.wav
Jack_0828.wav
Jack_0927.wav

103b is definitely the secret found jingle. 0829 sounds like a sped-up version of a death jingle. The rest I've never heard before.

Okay, so my friend says the jingle, main menu, ect. is in something called the "exefs", which I guess is the main executable meant to run the game, which unfortunately he doesn't have. So I can't get a direct rip of that. I suppose I COULD get an in-line rip....

Anyways, V2 is uploading now. Should be ready in an hour or two.

many many greatful thanks!!!

Okay it's up!


Prepare your download buttons, everyone! :)

I seemed to notice the music that plays during the telepathic message that Sahasrahla and Hilda both use is missing in the pack.

Oh yeah. I wonder if that's midi?
There were supposedly synthesized files. I'm gonna try to convert them.

Get rid of all the zeroed out space in alot of the flacs. By reencoding everything, the size of all the files dropped from 1.70 GB to 1.00GB.

By this, you mean the HOME Menu jingle? That's like the easiest thing to record, I can do it for you.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

First song I played 'Baseball Minigame' has a lot of errors in it. If it's V0, just convert it to 320kbps.

?

Can you elaborate? I use foobar for conversion.

the files are listed up to 136 by their track names but there are only 133 files
at least 3 files are missing

Really? I loaded the .mp3 versions and they go up to 134, but the 109th is missing...

...besides that, I can't tell how happy I am for this, thank you so much^^


EDIT: ok, I just noticed #127 is used three times xD

Gahhhh well nothing is missing aside from the numbers themselves, though I am missing some CSEQ jingles.

Open up some of the files in a hex editor. Most of them are full of zeros after the song ends. Just reencode all of the songs to get rid of the zeros.

Okay, but I mean reencode HOW. Like, what settings?

I just finished reorganizing the latest version uploaded and keeping it to myself would be mean.

What I did:
- I fixed the numbering of the tracks
- I retagged almost every track, either marking tracks as Event or Fanfare and correcting misspellings or better terms
- I recorded the HOME Menu jingle (and did my best to adjust the volume to the rest of the tracks), completing this gamerip from what I'm aware of!

Without further adieu, here is the download link! (https://www.mediafire.com/?csxfm9h8jlxlrud) If you think I can improve my tags further (or anything else), PM me (it would be helpful if you also included what I should change it too) as I'll notice that much quicker than a reply.

Awesome! Would you mind if I uploaded this as an improved version?

Also, would you mind making some FLAC copies? :)

It'd be easier if you just posted my link in the OP. I'm not very familiar with editing FLAC metadata or how'd I even do it, so no can do for FLAC.

Thank you very much, it sounds awesome! This is off topic but, is there anyway your friend could get the music from Animal Crossing New Leaf?

Aw, well it was worth asking! Thanks again for this soundtrack though :D

Okay, but I mean reencode HOW. Like, what settings?

The normal settings. Just do something like
for /r %%a in (*.flac) do flac -8 -f "%%a"

....yeaaaah nooo I'm not reencoding directly from bcstm again.

Do you know how many dual-layer tracks there are, dude? :/

how do you reencode from bcstm?
what program and or codecs do you use?

Okay. Will do.

Yes.

Some data for other 3DS games has moved around and we may be seeing soundtracks (FLAC, mp3) for a handful of the A-list games sometime soon.

Only if hcs knows about this, will we be so fortunate. I'm looking forward to this happening with Wii U.

furry bob, did you know this was possible? I know you're a fellow ripper, so you might have.

EDIT: So, research shows that this is RAM dumping, and we'll be seeing a lot more surfacing soon, as dumps have been made of a lot of other major titles.

Only if hcs knows about this, will we be so fortunate.

hcs? I don't know who that is, but I do know that stuff (raw data) is ready and potentially being worked on.

Don't know anything about the progress on the Wii U front, though.

robotortoise! help,This connection failure??

Would you be able to release the sound folder? With the bcstm files and bcsar as well.

There are a small number of people that have modified their 3DS in order to dump full file systems. So far it's possible to decode bcstm, and also rip sounds and sequences from bcsar archives.

Hello, can you please make a rip of the 3DS game, "Doctor Lautrec and the forgotten knights" ? I asked to the composer, but she told me that an OST will never available. So If you can make it I'll be glad, it's been years that I'm searching someone who can do this.

Venouney

And I would like a complete rip of Super Mario 3D Land.

Also, thanks for Link Between Worlds! It's great to finally have Dark Link Battle, Octoball Derby, and Irene's Theme!

Many thanks. It's nice that there's a way to get 3DS music files now.

Amazing! This gamerip and these news just made my day.
This perhaps means that Paper Mario Sticker Star and M&L Dream Team's Soundtracks might be ripped soon enough during the summer or later this year.

So I want to get this out of the way:

I don't have any other gamerips.

The way it's working right now (to my knowledge) is the people who provided my friend with these files have cracked the 3DS's game ROM encryption. However, they don't want to release it due to what happened with the DS. (In short, the homebrew scene really took off, but the piracy was rampant, being so simple a child could do it. (*cough* myself *cough*)

Anyways, so while I'd certainly love to get more files and rips for you guys, I'm not the right guy to ask. The best I can do right now is MAAAAAYBE release the bcstms and/or .bscar archive. Depends on if my friend thinks it's okay.

I'm not promising anything.

Anyways, good luck guys! :)

This is so good it might even surpass the freshly announced "official OST".

This is so good it might even surpass the freshly announced "official OST".

I doubt it, to be honest. The bitrate in this is...kinda low, as I just had to go off of what the cartridge had. And Nintendo's official rip will probably have some of the sequenced jingles/music.

Thanks heaps :D

thanks

Thanks :)

Seems like we've been waiting for a while on the Club Nintendo release. Is it in the wild yet? Any idea how much longer it'll be until a FLAC rip makes its way over to the shrine?

I though the OST wasn't due until November, though I've seen photos of early copies... give it a few more weeks. It'll definitely be on the Shrine by November.

This is pretty great, but the track numbers seem to be out of order for some songs. Also, the last song's track number seems to be 134 but there are only 133 tracks.
