The kids that played this game have grown up, became musicians and made this out of love.

RIP little bro. His favorite game. How I wish the song of healing would exist in our realm so I can play the song to to have kept him alive. He passed from a brain tumor 2 years ago. The feeling of failure I have felt for being his older brother and not have been able to help him live.

Just the addition of the happy mask salesman voice in Japanese is just it portrays the game so well.. it's beautiful

[Bcs]

It's been 4000 years ...


*single tear*

If Majora's Mask got a film, this would absolutely be the best trailer music

[stellarmoth]

Whoa the back vocals for the beginning are the Hylian lyrics to Ballad of the Goddess :D

The type of song I needed to hear after my recent break-up, it was a 3-year relationship with plans for a future together, now it's all gone... and songs like this will help me to go through this loss and start again.

Words can not describe this beauty. Theophany, you did. You have outdone yourself and every single fanmade tribute to Zelda music by others.

This is simply on an entirely different level. You are playing in your own league now.

I am so looking forward to the rest of the album. I salute you and your insanely talented mind and collaborators.

Please, never stop making music.

I know some people have said they don't like the speech part but I dunno despite not knowing exactly what he's saying there's something sad about it. Especially his laugh at 3:00 which just chills me, it's kind of a laugh through the sorrow and madness. Maybe that's just me though.

[ZeldaGamer]

Okay my translation of the Japanese 2:40-2:56: It is a legendary thing that you are using with cursed will. The shadow that I fell in love with. You.

I tried my best to understand what he was saying and this is what I got. Makes sense so I'm hoping it's correct! Will keep working on the rest.

Edit 6/5/17 - translation from a native Japanese person:

呪い儀式で使っていたとされる、伝説の呪物なんだ
This is a legendary mask used in a cursed ritual

こういった仮面だ、ごらん
Here it is, take a look

この仮面を被ったものは邪悪ですさまじい力を得るとされる
It is said the one wear the mask got an evil and enormous power

それを聞いて私は、それはそれは探し回った
I heard of it and then I was looking around for the mask

ひたすら(山?)に上っていった
I climbed the mountain? further and further

And he said he found it at somewhere but his voice faded there and we can't know it

[adlerrapturian]

I don’t know why, but the Song of Healing has always been a song that has connected deeply with me on an emotional, and spiritual level. It is a song that has the most beautiful sounds for such a simplistic melody. They fill you with a feeling of melancholy, yet at the same time a sensation of hope.

It is a song that holds power in the game to help those with a troubled fate to move on. To finally rest and be at peace. And the mask that is left behind is the physical embodiment showing that the individual was indeed there.

You have taken a song that spiritually embodies the entire spectrum of emotions an individual feels in the game, and turned it into the perfect melody that brings that exact notion to the surface with each movement.

At the start, the ticking clock is the sign of the beginning, and yet the end. As the sounds of the voice comes in, you can hear the sounds of rushing thoughts sweeping by, only to be silenced by the quiet accompaniment of the organ of n the background, and the gentle notes of the piano embody sadness. The violin sounds as if it is bringing one closer to realization. Then, the drum resounds, allowing for a clear recollection to flow in as the piano resounds louder. The voice, sounding as if mocking or even angered comes in. Only to fade away. Then the chorus comes in, and you feel a sensation of calm, and as the prominent female voice comes back in, you are overcome by the sensation of sadness. But a welcomed embrace that says you have no need to be sad anymore. And then, it reaches its high point. And tears are allowed to flow as you are made to know that you are not alone… followed by a moment of silence, and an aura of fear if that feeling you just had was a dream. Only for the voice to return and allay the very thought, encouraging you to let go of all those notions that filled you, and finally, finally be free. And as the final notes resound, you can feel as if you are removing the mask that tormented you.

"Believe in your strengths… Believe… You’ll do fine. I believe in you."

This is probably the most beautiful song I've heard...

[RevenMusic]

Thanks so much for having me on this track, Theophany! Having heard some more of what's to aren't ready for how awesome this album is. This song is just a drop in the bucket. :)

[sas]

the amount of effort that went into making this and even including hylian lyrics is phenomenal. thank you so much.

[Armameteus]

In true testament to Majora's Mask, recall in the closing moments of Time's End when we are sent back. Time hurls itself in reverse and everything is undone. Returning to the Dawn of The First Day, we begin once again. A new cycle in the same place, everything just as before.

Except different.

A new path is taken through a new version of events. New faces seen. New roads traveled. New tasks undertaken. New accomplishments made. With each cycle, inching ever closer to A New Day.

The New Day is Dawning. A new album from the same musician, everything just as before.

Except different.

This whole thing is gorgeous, but adding the lyrics from Ballad of the Goddess in there just added that perfect touch.

[YatzSliversword]

Some of those lyrics are from Ballad of the Goddess! :O

[yuriridley]

This is the best birthday present you could have possibly given to me.
Thanks from the bottom of my soul.

[Nickzz]

I would give my first born child for a version of the Stone Tower song
