While siyb is still rebuilding his homeserver and thus our news bot is down I can take some time to publish this post I created a few days ago. This goes into the free music/free mp3s section again and I must say that I really like it although I’ve never really finished a Zelda “level”. It’s kinda retro style but the quality is very good, must say that the artists behind this project achieved their goal to create something realistic, atmospheric and enjoyable. Lay back (or start your SNES emulator) and check this:

What is ZREO?

ZREO stands for Zelda Reorchestrated. It is our goal to transcribe the musical masterpieces that you have heard in the greatest video game series ever created: The Legend of Zelda! Our goal is to give each and every song from The Legend of Zelda series a realistic and atmospheric sound with the quality that you would expect from such film composers as John Williams, Howard Shore, and James Horner.

We don’t look to seek profit or fame. This is merely our own form of artistic expression that stems from The Legend of Zelda. If it weren’t for Zelda, ZREO wouldn’t exist. So we are grateful to have such a legendary video game series that can pull so much inspiration out of us.

ZREO began in October of 2004. While it was shut down due to financial issues in january 2006, it has fortunately been revived and you can download a load of tracks at their website.
