The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's music is up there with the best of the series, and made all the more powerful by its use of a real orchestra. But how do the melodies themselves hold up when taken back to something a little less realistic? "Very well indeed" is the answer.
YouTube user MischievousMusings has posted a so-called "demake" of the game's Ancient Harbour theme as it would have sounded during the Super Nintendo days, using instruments from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It sounds every bit as good as on the Wii; maybe even a little better if your ears are tuned to the 16-bit ways.

not bad, I still prefer the orchestra I think, but this is still pretty impressive
Heh! Pretty neat, but I also prefer the original.
I don't think this sounds good at all, honestly. It sounds good for Metroid though.
It really is better . Hypnotic.
"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's music is up there with the best of the series"
I completely agree, especially 'The Ballad Of The Goddess'. Thanks for sharing that 'arranged' song.
Sounds Snestastic!
This track really stood out as one of my favorites in the game!
I wanna hear more of this soundtrack in Snes form!
Me too, this was one of my favorite tracks in the game. Imagine something like this on a Link to the Past...
Okay that's totally metroid. And awesome. And I wanna play this game to hear the real version. I love how much care Nintendo puts into their music.
@3 Agreed. I prefer the Orchestra...
Is this suppose to sound like Greudo Valley, if remixed?
The world would be a lot better place if everything was SNES-ified!
Everything is better in 16-bit....FACT! >.<
I very much like the sound of it, however, the overall tone with the 16-bit effects doesn't match the scene tone of the ancient harbor. The 16-bit effect makes it seem very much dark worldly instead of simply an ancient dried up sandy ocean. Though, I still want to play SS again with all the music 16-bit-afied.
@Ryno
You beat me to that statement, LOL!
One of my favorite things to do at YouTube is to find 16 & 8-bit remixes of songs from modern games. Squeenix did an official 8-bit version of Final Fantasy XIII's "Blinded by Light" that was incredible!
That's sounds really cool, but I prefer the orchestral sound tracks. In fact, the in game music is some of the best I have ever heard in a video game or even a film.
its not as good
