I cannot believe the amazing support you guys are giving me. I am so sorry I can't keep up with all the responses, please know that I appreciate you all very much and thank you!! :)

This, instead of portraying the horrific terror of impending death, seems to portray the pain. The sorrowful, hopeless realization of death. And the shattering, fragile peace that comes with it. Instead of thinking of someone quivering and crying in fear alone on the floor begging God for mercy and forgiveness, this makes me think of someone holding on tight to their family and friends, waiting with a resigned hollowness for death to come.

This is what i want playing in my final hours.

[OmnikTWR]

This would be PERFECT for a Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask movie!

[JinxLuckyBaby]

To this year of 2024 we still crying over this beautiful, magnificent, very moving piece!

There aren't many renditions of Majora's Mask's soundtrack that match the skill of Theophany or Rozen, but this is definitely up there with them. Great work!

[andrewstirling]

The original instilled great dread, whereas this version is very somber. It is amazing how the mood can change like that! Well done!

[Sephonik]

this song is one of the best composed pieces from Zelda imo. It perfectly captures the helplessness of the situation, but also the urgency. Everything you've done up until this point for the people of Termina led to this. The final moments of this world is in your hands. It's perfect.

[Thunderboiii]

Holy shit, this is amazing stuff! It totally evokes feelings of helplessness and despair; the colossal size of the moon; and the imminent destruction of all life. I got the chills at the climax at 2:40 when the French horns blare through the percussive synth hits, the mid-string ostinatos, and the lush high string long notes.

I think you've totally outdone yourself with this! It is absolutely "epic."

[ClefferNotes]

Thank you all so much for the amazing support as usual! :)

MAKE IT HAPPEN. I WILL DIE.

Sometimes we need to listen to sad, emotional music. I have searched all over YouTube and found this remastered masterpiece. This song is absolutely spellbinding and touches me very deeply. Just wonderful. Thank you for sharing this incredible musical work on the Zelda universe with us.

[CJTheMusicDude]

This is beautiful. I have never played Majora's Mask, but I am aware of the ticking clock that is the moon. I listened to the original, and while it was amazing, your version blew it away. Phenomenal stuff.

[Dracoward]

I love it. It's like a final charge as Link rushes to the top of the tower. So epic. It was just one bell gong away from me saying, *"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"*

[jeffrey]

This music encapsulates the deep emotional journal of a man who has lost almost everything that he can call his own, but just before completely breaking, he realizes that others depend on him and he must trudge on. So he gets up, dons his armor, and walks back to the battlefield.

[verpler]

Who here thinks that ClefferNotes and Theophany should do a project together? Only me? ok...

[laserfloyd]

Well I'm speechless. Suffice to say, that was amazing. A very Hans Zimmer sort of Inception kind of feel, IMO. Now to listen to others...

[TTabbyTT]

I love coming back to listen to this masterpiece every now and then. Such a perfectly emotional song for the end of the kafei quest too.

[wrathrah]

This hit me so hard. Final hours always gave me some chills, but this arrangement made every hair on my body stand up, my heart ached from that first note. My god. I didn't think Final Hours could get any better, yet you've done it. I am wildly impressed. Thank you for making me remember such fond memories of Majora's Mask.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm gonna go cry now.

[CelaV.]

Just replaying this game again... I love it so much
