The flow of time is always cruel.
Ocarina of Time is arguably the best installment in the Legend of Zelda series. It tells the story of the Hero of Time... a boy raised among the forever children forest folk, the Kokiri, but always an outsider because he has no fairy of his own. In reality he isn't Kokiri, he's Hylian, the ruling race of Hyrule. He travels over mountains, under water, and even through time to first collect the spiritual stones, and then gather the Six Sages, to conquer Ganondorf, the King of Evil.
This mix details the journey, the strife, and the people in the Hero's journey. From infancy, to his quest's finale. Thirty six songs that I hope capture the tone of a game that changed my life and really made me into the gamer I am today.
