Be advised, obviously I cannot cater to every person's preferences. This is intended to be an extended edition. If the original release sounds satisfactory to you then by all means I do not dissuade you from listening to that at all, and this version is more than likely not for you.
Well, here is my Extended Edition version for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It is my shared favorite Zelda game with Ocarina of Time. Such a timeless masterpiece that should never be forgotten. The soundtrack, however, I probably consider even superior. Suffice it to say this was a humongous project, far more so than I had initially anticipated. While my experience with the Ocarina of Time version expedited matters, the more dynamic nature of this album compensated greatly to slow down the entire process. Most of these tracks were not as straightforward to edit in comparison to OoT, which already took a sizable amount of time. I had to teach myself some new methods as well to accomplish the full album. I could no longer rely on other renditions from other albums, another culprit contributing to the significant increase of work per track. Still, I labored to keep the fidelity as close to perfect as possible (of course working losslessly). The Wii U HD soundtrack was of no use due to being louder than the original Japanese release. Which didn't really matter as the tracks were the same length anyhow.
I followed the same principles to make this album as the OoT version. I used the “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Original Sound Tracks” {SCDC-00250~1 (http://vgmdb.net/album/418)} as a reference for the track list as it is the most complete version and follows the narrative of the game. Just like other Zelda releases they “erred” by compiling too many songs on too few discs. If you do the math two discs is laughably scant for the total of 133 tracks, even when factoring in some of them are short sound effects. Well, I guess it is better than no official soundtrack at all: Twilight Princess and others... In light of this almost all the tracks have an extended length with only a handful of exceptions (sound jingles, etc.) proving for a more atmospheric listening experience. There is a total of five discs for this release.
A big thanks to the original uploader, without whom this would not have been possible. I take zero credit for that.
Unfortunately I could not replicate the sound of the game with a constant 100% accuracy. No matter how much I would edit a few select original files--which is a compromise in its own hence work to circumvent at all costs--there was just no salvaging them being cut too short and all. I do not recall the exact number, but I believe it were three tracks. Nonetheless I am not going to fret over it though as just repeating the song did not sound at all bad for these. I don't even think they are looped in the game anyway.
Unlike the OoT release I do not recommend cutting tracks short for this one, because as mentioned the looping process I utilized for most tracks were not as linear as they were for the Ocarina of Time Extended Edition. If you remove part of the ending on these there is a fat chance you will cut away new data. So if you happen to be discontent with the chosen lengths you are regrettably out of of luck with this one. I had to resort to looping songs in three different sections for example. It was no simple thing to do but I think I balanced it out okay. I consider this still the definitive edition I have for The Wind Waker.
The final track is from “The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD”. I just had to include this track for it is a superb orchestral rendition.
The art which I have included is all of (very) high resolution, and I believe they are in the appropriate aspect ratio so with a quality printer you should get detailed prints should you want to burn this to discs. Unless you loathe the look of my artwork, which I can fully understand (the “bare” versions are there for that). I tried to keep it consistent.
Everything was accomplished with Audacity (Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)).
I do not know if I will ever come around to making any other Extended Editions for Zelda--or any other--games. I worked very hard to get these two versions released because I do not know what my personal situation will bring soon. I do not want to promise something I cannot deliver.
No Mp3 requests please.
