Didn’t see it so I thought why not.
it looks good
I may be getting a new job soon, depending on how much this would cost, could you save one for me?
ME TOOOOOOO
They’ve been out for a while because of the demand for them. Due to dealings with nintendo themselves, it might be a little while longer before it officially comes out. But once it is out (Hopefully unedited by Nintendo outside of some art and slapping their logo on the front) they’ll pump out a few thousand copies.
Hell, thats probably whats happening right now.
Hell, thats probably whats happening right now.Ahh, Nintendo. They’re also trying to decide whether to release Symphony of the Goddesses on CD. Nintendo of America is the champion of making simple things hard (at least when it comes to licensing).

Hopefully that will keep you sane, Theophany is releasing that tonight at midnight, (Where I am) and I’m still unsure of when Twilight Symphony releases, it’s angering that nintendo had to butt into it’s production days before release.
WOW! Really? What the hell is their problem? Just release it and take a friggin cut you morons! What is so hard about this? I cannot believe the praise these guys get from certain circles.

Seriously, right?
What friggin amazes me is the number of idiot web sites out there trying tp put a positive spin on Nintendo’s involvement. Like this one:
Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Symphony Fan Project Gets Help From Nintendo (http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Legend-Zelda-Twilight-Symphony-Fan-Project-Gets-Help-From-Nintendo-50002.html)
LMAO! Gets help!?!?!? Yeaeeeaaaahhh right! The friggin thing was done already morons! They hardly needed assistance.
What a load of BULL! Nintendo’s involvement at the 11th hour (more like 11:59) was detrimental, not positive to the project. Hell, what positive changes could Nintendo have on a project that was ALREADY done? The only affect they had on this was getting it delayed till 2013. HARDLY what I would call a positive change. Nintendo should just left this whole thing alone. If they were going to get involved, why wait until the last days before release to do so? It is utterly obtuse and foolish.
BTW I love how that article has a Gmod picture from Zelda Universe.
I hate to say it, but Nintendo is on the fast track to being thrown out the door. Unless they go back to what they were doing with Banjo Kazooie on it’s n64 days, Metroid Prime on the GC, Paper Mario WHEN IT WAS GOOD (TTYD), Zelda without the gimicks, (and add support to their games to utilize a GC or plug in CONTROLLER that outs the Motion Control so serious players don’t have to fight their own living room to play), The Wii U will be their last console. Unless they DO do something, I Honestly think that they may be forced to pull the plug half way through it’s living cycle and shut down shop.

Skyward Sword was disconnected, and disjointed and felt like a lot of empty space. Disappointing really.
I, unlike most Zelda fans, love Twilight Princess as much as, and possibly more than OoT (the most critically-acclaimed game of all time, a.k.a. my childhood), (though I’ve played through OoT to the point that it’s become too repetitive, plus it’s the easiest Zelda game in existence), yet Nintendo felt that TP was too unpolished, clunky and inconsistent, so they have since changed their formula and pulled a Wind Waker. Don’t get me wrong, TWW is a nearly perfect game, but it doesn’t live up to MM, TP, OoT, Minish Cap, or ALttP because Nintendo tried to fix that which is not broken.
The DS games and SS aren’t what Zelda used to be, and are all more linear, have few side-quests and items, and overall, they just fade in comparison. TWW, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and SS are amazing games, sure, but they are taking the series in the wrong direction. The exploration should not be limited, and "large, vacant areas" are not "unnecessary". I wrote a 17 page report about this. It’s just terrible.
You should see the interviews with the developers. They think of SS being perfect because it ties in all of the concentrated areas from a "hub", but without a menu (which they thought about using) (see Iwata Asks). This "hub" is the Sky. Yes they tried to make the overworld(s) in SS dungeon-like, but I felt that MM and the Gameboy titles were more like this. I like having an overworld that’s all connected, and every time you get a item, you get to explore new areas. The whole idea of an ancient civilization was brought up incidentally after they had looked through some early textures and were thinking of using "Rocket Fists" as an item (also in the Iwata Asks Interviews). Their ideas are spawned so incidentally that it comes out sounding so silly, they have to make it cartoon-like just to put it all together. I mean come on, Aonuma got the idea of Link driving a boat from his little kid.
And what happened to the unreleased timeline? They were keeping it to themselves because that gave them more flexibility to change various aspects of it in order to create a new game that could fit right in anywhere in the timeline. Now, they released the timeline, so the stories might gradually get stupider. Nintendo EAD (Entertainment Analysis Development) makes games by Analyzing the success and feedback of the Entertainment that they Develop. Why does this not work anymore?
Why does EVERYTHING they make have to be a gimmick? Why is Double Dash! so much better than MKWii? Why did they sell Rareware? Why doesn’t anyone at Nintendo love Majora’s Mask as much as I do? Even Pokemon 5th Gen fades against it’s predecessors. Why does EAD 3 read all of their success and feedback wrong? Why does Masahiro Sakurai do everything right? (after all he created Smash Bros. even after Nintendo turned his idea down, and they and everyone else ended up loving it) I’m glad that Nintendo’s already made the best games in existence, because we may not see much more of that in the future.
Don’t get me started, I may get carried away.
Look at the bright side, HAL Laboratory, Sora, Intelligent Systems, and Grezzo are doing everything right.
A little more on-topic: Is there any scheduled date for this?
As for Zelda. SS wasn’t a bad game, it just wasn’t up to Zelda standards. It felt very limited, and no sense of an overworld, you felt really isolated and sometimes you have to wonder how anyone survived in the sky.
The timeline is out but I would have rathered it not be released as it could limit creativity or they could simply move on in the timeline and ignore it.

This is exactly what I mean. Anyway, there are no bad Zelda games.
The timeline is out but I would have rathered it not be released as it could limit creativity or they could simply move on in the timeline and ignore it. Again, this is what I’m trying to say. I really don’t want it to all go downhill from here, but if they keep doing what they’re doing, it’ll only get worse. If they try something new, it’s almost certain to get worse. What they need to do is go back to their old ways. Just reincorporate some old stuff to the series. You can always add stuff to the next game, but don’t base the whole damn game around it. Everyone knows that OoT was a flawless game, they should learn from that. Why not actually make a game like the tech demo? They can make it like TP, with HD graphics and smart use of the gamepad, but nothing more. No more gimmicks would be necessary.
Thats what I was trying to get at with my post. TP for the Gamecube was absolutely fantastic because of it’s lack of gimmicks. Gimmicks are getting old fast. While I disagree with you when it comes to WW, which I hold as my favorite zelda of all time, making a Zelda that lives up to the standards that OOC, TP, and WW set would be excellent and it would bring Nintendo out of their funk. Honestly, they need to fire the knuckleheads in Nintendo EAD and hire people that actually know what they are doing.
As for LOZ: TS, they expect it to release mid january, tomorrow and the 12th to be in fact.
12/25/12 — Update for Twilight Symphony Backers and Pre-order Customers
Our last update to you was sent out on December 1st, and many of you have since been e-mailing us and posting on Facebook, requesting an update. First of all, thank you for either pre-ordering Twilight Symphony or being one of the project backers. Without you, this project would not be what it is, and your interest and excitement has kept us motivated and fueled over the past several weeks. We have some good news, and some not-so-good news:
The not-so-good news first:
We’re working hard to get all orders fulfilled, however, Nintendo’s recent direct involvement has produced several ill-timed delays, including some pauses in manufacturing. Unfortunately we won’t be shipping until after the first of the year, taking into account the holidays and how slow things move in the month of December. Clearly this may affect you if you ordered Twilight Symphony as a Christmas gift. This weighs heavy on our hearts as we want nothing more than to get this out to everyone, especially for those who expected to give or receive the album as a gift.
Now for the good news:
The warehouse has received the digipaks and the slipcases. We were sent a sample a few days ago, and they look beyond amazing. The booklet printing is also nearing completion, leaving only the discs left for pressing. Once fully assembled, they will be rushed to the shipping department and orders will begin their much anticipated journey to you!
We expect shipping to begin between January 2nd and 12th, with 2-4 business days allowed for delivery. You will receive an email confirmation with a tracking number for your order at the time it is shipped. Shipments will be sent in a staggered fashion, meaning they will not all go out at once, so please allow the time between January 2nd and January 12th to receive your shipping and tracking confirmation.
For those anxiously awaiting the digital version promised as a part of your album, our hope and intention is to send you a separate e-mail with a download code, which will allow you to retrieve the album in a variety of formats, for your listening enjoyment as the physical album makes its way to you.
Sincerely,
The Twilight Symphony Team
As for LOZ: TS, they expect it to release mid january, tomorrow and the 12th to be in fact.Don’t get me wrong, though. I love Wind Waker (I just favor MM, TP, OoT, and TMC). It is a very good game, although gimmicked. OoT and MM were gimmicked, too, but those three games didn’t take it too far. Funny how I like those three gimmicked games better than ALttP. This is because of the way gimmicks used to be used versus the way they’re used today.I just don’t like WW’s sequels. I think TWW was good, but they either need to drop the aspects it brought to the table, or keep them the same, not evolve them into a boat you can’t exit or a lame train. I lost my memory card with TWW, so I’m sad now.
Perhaps its the pirate in me, but I loved the boat in TWW. The sky in SS felt boring. Ironic considering that in some small circles they consider SS to be a "Flying ninja" and WW to be a "Sailing Pirate".
And while MM was the more gimmicked, it had the best story in my opinion. That may be because it directly deals with the stages of depression with it’s locales and when I first played it I was going through said stages.
OOT is actually my least favorite of the games. It has always been…bland, boring. ALTTP was the more awesome one.
And don’t worry, I’ll enjoy WW for you with my game2 save! Lol

Yeah, in TWW, you have a reason to sail around, and there’s lots of stuff you can do in the sea. In SS, there are nameless islands that aren’t in a grid-like map, and are small and almost pointless. OoT is boring for me now that I’ve played it so much, but it’s also too easy.
Yeah, it was linear. The best part about the game is its music. The fact that equipment breaks, and there are so few items doesn’t help the game, either. It lacks all that matters. The upcoming two (and the possible third if Miyamoto didn’t change his mind about 3D Classics ALttP) better be better.
I actually didn’t enjoy the music from SS. I found the full orchestrations to be lacking in both overall quality and excitement.
Well, what can you expect with different composers? I agree they weren’t Zelda-like. but being the orchestral music lover that I am, I prefer it. I think they lack in the instruments of some songs, and they’re more ambient than melodic. However, when you think about it, all console Zelda music since ALttP, plus the DS and GBA titles, is orchestral, it’s just synth. You can tell by the instrumentation. Now, if they didn’t make the drastic changes in the style of music that they made in SS, using a real orchestra would have worked perfectly. I can agree that there wasn’t any excitement in the music. Whatever wasn’t ambient was either just weird (like the sailcloth ceremony) or was slow, and mysterious sounding. (Romance theme and Skyfield are exceptions) Why couldn’t there be anything like the theme in the after credits of OoT3D? I think Mahito Yokota could’ve made the music to the whole game perfectly. He did some boss themes (Moldarach/Koloktos , not that those songs are that great, but he’s a good, consistent composer) I mean, have you ever heard Wind Waker music played by a real orchestra? It is the most beautiful thing. Whether it’s Outset Island, Dragon Roost Island, The Great Sea, Hero of the Wind, the main theme or credits theme, or even The Legendary Hero. A real orchestra suits it al well, but the style of music is deteriorating. Why is Koji Kondo having more and more people besides him composing it? TP a lot had good music, but it had some bleh, too. And PH and SS weren’t what Zelda music used to be, either.
I never listened to the PH soundtrack. ST was okay…ish. And I’ve heard WW orchestrated, and I hear it every night when I go to sleep. Thanks to Zelda Reorchestrated. Hopefully, in the 3D remakes, he actually goes back to the old style and quits farting around.
Really looking forward to this being posted.

if you actually kept up with them, you’d know about the free digital release.
And that Digital release was supposed to go live Mid-December. Due to the Physical retail delay the digital release is also delayed.
I asked Jeron back at te Zelda Symphony if they would make any more copies, and he said no. This was befor Nintendo was involved, though. I am surprised that he answered at all.
This will probably take 1-3 months to get back on track if at all. I hope there is a CD release of Symphony of the Goddesses. This whole situation is starting to worry me, though.
OH MAN! Here I thought I was the only one who loved Twilight Princess that much!
Yeah, TP is probably my favorite game in the series too. I loved the storyline, the overworld (which it ACTUALLY had unlike Skyward sword) with so much to do, the game structure.
They need to stick to the OOT/TP structure for the games. I liked Wind Waker a lot, but I prefer to the morte traditional Zelda structure in games.
Than why play a new game at all? its not a TV series.
The same could be said of Call of duty.
Only nintendo would hopefully know what the fuck their doing if they did go back to their roots.
oh right, Zelda’s 2D, 8-bit roots, not Nintendo’s roots.
Why must we waaaaaaaiiiiiiit T_T
Only nintendo would hopefully know what the fuck their doing if they did go back to their roots.
Been trying not to discuss this to keep it calm, but I REALLY want to talk now.
First of all, Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 were departures from the classic 2D adventures. I feel, IMHO, they worked because a) They’re good games, despite being very different to what their series represented or b) Nintendo became the donkey that played the flute. I’m leaning towards the second, simply because what followed pretty much demonstrated they had no idea what used to work: Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker. I don’t put Majora’s Mask here because is pretty much an expansion of Ocarina with a totally nightmarish setting that has a charm of it’s own. I loved the animation of Wind Waker, but you have to accept it has less to do with Zelda than previous games. Same with Sunshine, has nothing to do with the classic Mario games.
Of course they sold pretty well on their systems, but Zelda and Mario (and now Metroid) are good examples of how Nintendo has lost the sight on what made their games special. No, Twilight and Skyward weren’t crap. Neither both Mario Galaxy. But they’re too far apart of what it used to represent to gamers.
~ Zelda Reorchestrated on their facebook page.
Sexy people who got it via Email. We expect linkies in exchange for likes, thanks, and pictures of sexy women bequethed from a fast google search.
What this man said xD
EDIT: though I will happily support this project when the digital is available to everyone
EDIT 2: From a FB post "Our emails say that due to ongoing negotiations with the publisher, a full digital release isn’t quite yet ready."
For the love of god please tell me someone on this forum has a pre-order link to share? Please? D:
EDIT: Turns out it’s been uploaded on what.cd already, but I’d go over my ratio limit to get it. Does anyone else have an account there?
BTW, invite me!
Well, if it isn’t worth anything to you then why you bother about it in the first place?

Hi all, as I’ve said before last month I ordered 5 of the physical copies. One I will save, one might go on Ebay soon, and the others will ‘age’ for a while before going on Ebay. Most people invest in stocks and mutual funds. However, I invest in… limited doujin VGM releases ;-)… (the risk is higher, but the adventure is bolder!)
Last night I got my download code for Twilight Symphony. They offered the backers FLAC and MP3 files. I know the question on everyone’s minds now.: Can you upload it please?
The answer… No, I will not upload it. The producers have asked us not to share the files. As well, it will be available on iTunes and Amazon as a download once all the permissions and royalties are dealt with. Getting this album is not the same as getting a rare Japanese release; we all know it will be available for quite a while and that it will soon be easily accessible. It’s not something we can only get if a fan rips it and uploads it.
One user who recently posted here made the comment that digital goods are worthless or nearly worthless. Well, if that is the case he or she can stop posting in this forum, since he or she is, by their own definition, seeking after worthless stuff. I however, disagree. The very foundations of the VGM community are based on the fact that music, nowadays by us Westerners 20-30 somethings, is mostly gathered,bought and traded online.
Uh, You missed his point
His point was, he wouldnt PAY that much for digital stuff, not that he thought the music was worthless.
Well, congratulations. Hope you get far in life lecturing people about the evil of piracy and how you’re a better person than us. 🙂
And yes, I’ll buy it as soon as it is available, since they haven’t sent me anything on mail.
Dude You need to learn to not be a dick on the forums!
He Was Just Making A Point And I AGREE!
*sniff* ‘scuse me. Allergies 🙂
*sniff* ‘scuse me. Allergies 🙂
I WANT TO SEX YOU
Well, if it isn’t worth anything to you then why you bother about it in the first place?

I just don’t see a reason to get a digital copy when there is a physical copy. I’d still kill for a physical copy.
The only thing I mean by not "worth anything" is that it cannot be resold, traded, collected by a collector, or have any monetary value after purchase. The same goes for ROMs. Not that I would ever sell anything Zelda related anyway.
Damn, missed it AGAIN. :/ They are cracking down.
Huh? Link works for me.
I believe that MediaFire links will always work for the uploader, that’s why it still works for you. The don’t actually delete the file, but more of block it from other downloaders.
I see…

Thanks for sharing
But it would be better to own flan one
Hoping someone can share such great music
my fav has to be Hyrule Castle Overtaken, just because it’s awesome. though the whole thing is quite phenomenal; made me wanna play Twilight Princess again, actually. 😀

Booyah!
Still a great effort and I am really glad to finally have the music.
If they were to do another one of these, which one should they do? Wind Waker? Ocarina of Time?
