The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Dark Golden Land (YM2612 16-bit Remix)

Well here's something a bit different again. I'm planning to backport songs and remixes from my SoundCloud here, starting with this.

I don't think I've done remixes of Zelda very frequently either, and I'm not sure if it's even known but I am indeed a fan of the series. Right now my favourite being A Link to the Past.

Rather than try to get as close to the original as possible, I tried to make use of the Genesis'/Megadrive's unique sound setup to this remix's advantage.

I just heavily based the instruments off of something that Hitoshi Sakamoto would do, as seen in his work for Gauntlet IV (which you should absolutely check out right now). I think, if we were in an alternate universe where Nintendo failed to be as popular as it is right now, this would be the kind of sound they would have on the Genesis. But, well we're not in that universe, so... a remix is good enough.

This was made with Chipsynth MD (which is a plugin I really love btw). I also have SFC, so I'll likely do something with it too.
