Cool!
You’re awesome.
Why can’t the US get something like this?

because nintendo thinks audio isn’t as important as rehashing the same game/series over and over.
I can’t wait to listen to the tracks. I hope you’ll be able to upload it by this weekend or sooner. ^_^
Well that’s pretty irrelevant and uncalled for but okay….
Anyway, when is the official soundtrack supposed to release again?
Would be greatly appreciated if you could do this. This game has amazing orchestrated versions. It sucks that that they couldn’t do an international release for this soundtrack… (one of many)
Or a gamerip would be awesome too if someone could do that as well.
If people ask nicely, I’ll be more then happy to upload it. 😉
Cheers, everyone for this release!!! xD
When my Physical Copy of this CD Soundtrack arrives to me, I will DEFINITELY rip it. You know? Just for your listening pleasure. 🙂
I too would be so grateful if you could upload it, it’s people like you that make the world a nicer place to live in.
Also, why is the US box art ALWAYS awesome, causing the US version to fade in comparison?

Please do so. I’d really appreciate it too.
I love Zelda’s orchestral music, it’s so relaxing and lovely to listen to.
"It was kind of crazy, the way I would say one little thing and get this huge reaction from people. It really made me realize that man, the fans here are so passionate. "I think they’re even more passionate than the fans in Japan."

Seriously, why can’t the US get cool stuff like this? Aonuma himself said (referring to his Comic Con presentation):
"It was kind of crazy, the way I would say one little thing and get this huge reaction from people. It really made me realize that man, the fans here are so passionate. "I think they’re even more passionate than the fans in Japan."
I saw some JP guys on ebay selling the CD for something like 40€/$. That’s the usual price for something like that from the Club Nintendo (I remember it was the same price for the Pilotwings Resort / MK Wii CDs). I didn’t check since the last couple of week, thought. The price may be different today.
As for US fans… I must admit as a French/PAL guy that you are definitely the best fan force for the Zelda franchise. Of course it’s a little more easier when you are a 400M habitants country, but the fan community in the US is doing a good job with a steady ~2-3M people buying the games, a nice couple of fan site like zelda-universe and some fan "stars" like PikminLink. Just behind I think the brasilian community is very cool, just check the old good zelda.com.br fan site, they have crazy shit out there, like a dedicated Zelda convention. In Europe our german friends are historically well present due to the Nintendo Europe headquarters being in Germany. And in France we are pretty good imo 🙂 Just not very good websites (well, until my next one is online 🙂 ) but many Zelda cosplayers and a healthy retro gamers community that love Nintendo and Zelda.
But Japan? Good that Aonuma came out there and see how things are outside Japan. Japanese gamers stop buying Zelda games since Ocarina of Time. Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks have done good numbers only because the DS being a beast in 2007-2009. And TWWHD have just done the worst record debut in the franchise history, Skyward Sword doing something equivalent to Twilight Princess, on the same system, but with a x10, or x15 userbase…
If Kamigami No Triforce 2 can’t wake up the japanese fans, it will quickly become hopeless.
But, please, do not take my word on this. It might take a while longer. It’s like what you said…"if it would take a week or 2, I know the wait will be worth it." 😉
It definitely will be. Zelda Music is just too good to miss out on… LOL 😉
While we wait, here is a video I found on YouTube, that has to do with the comparison of the Music from the Game Cube Version to the HD Version, have a look and tell me what you think, ok? 🙂

EDIT: I would like to thank everyone for their appreciation and patience. Now THAT’S something that I can really appreciate… 😉 🙂
It will make a good addition to my TWW edit.
I don’t think it’s irrelevant. Link28469 asked why the US doesn’t get soundtracks like this, and it’s because Nintendo (of America, but Japan is at fault too) doesn’t view audio/music highly, and they rather keep rehashing the same game/series over and over again instead of releasing OSTs.
When was the last new IP Nintendo did anyway? Maybe I’ve gone off topic but I don’t see how what i said was "irrelevant", especially since it answers Link28469’s question.
@-Dragon-: I don’t think the music is orchestrated, but rather remade with new samples.
(On Topic) – …Ok, so…just a little update to everyone. My Wind Waker HD OST is in my City, now!! Yippeee!!! xD xD xD Can’t wait to give it a listen. Should be promising!
If I calculate, correctly, it should arrive to my house, tomorrow, but…..we’ll see… 😉
Once I receive it, I will rip it and upload it here. Stay tuned!!! 🙂
EDIT: Here it is, enjoy it!!! xD 😀 🙂

Would you mind uploading it in FLAC? Thanks!
I might do FLAC…maybe. If I feel up to it. 😉
Update -> I started a thread (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/legend-zelda-wind-waker-hd-%5Bsound-selection%5D-163006/#post2493739) in the "Video Game Music Download Links" with tracks tags in English.
But be sure to thank the original uploader. It’s the proper thing to do !

Thank you very much for this and although I shouldn’t complain I have to say that Sendspace is a terrible filehoster. I prefer Mega.com because of the speeds and reliability they have.
Edit: Is there any chance that someone can rip the actual game disc for the music tracks? A lot of the songs I’d hoped to listen to aren’t even on the Sound Selection, unfortunately. Thanks.
Like I say "Sharing is caring", amirite?! XD
There’s something weird going on with the quality of these files:
That hard cutoff at 16 kHz is typical of a low bit rate mp3 encode (say, 128kb), definitely not a 320kb encode.
It means one of two things:
Either the source audio encoded on the source CD doesn’t contain any frequencies above 16 kHz, or these files were encoded at a low bit rate, then up-encoded to 320kb for no reason.
What’s the deal with the quality?
And I haven’t downloaded, so I can’t be ungrateful.
