The thing that strikes me first here is your choice of instrumentation; it reminds me the N64 synth sounds
incredibly and gives an immediate nostalgic feeling for me personally. This piece, I think, tries to
convey something epic and dramatic, but I think that it could have been improved immensely by adding some OOMPH
to the melody- it doesn't seem to pack enough punch somehow, and builds to a climax that isn't as climactic
as it could (or should?) be. The lack of "flair", if you will, also gives it a little less unique character; while
the theme of this round has been fulfilled well, I think that adding some gusto could have helped it achieve a
more well-defined new meaning.
In the end, I found it to be a fairly good piece that had the untapped potential to be made into something grand.

This piece feels like it came straight from Hyrule to my computer. Its composition really makes it fit well within the context of the game, however, the source material is already used in so many different ways within the game itself, its hard to use it to suit a new purpose, and that subsiquently hurt your theme score. Still, I really like the design of the piece and how truthfully it sticks to the original music.
