1Overall Description
Reggae-ish influenced demo-style tune which uses a smart arrangement of a few snares to create a unique rolling groove (as opposed to the sparse drum lines of traditional reggae). Has a very bare-bones feel but does so in the same smart way the original Zelda NES music does, so it's not necessarily a bad thing...however the one-mooded-ness of this track in part kills its last-ability.
 
2Arrangement Description
Little instrumental punches in the background, such as the ghosted "yelping" instrument that comes in around 1:20 and little melodic part variations like that at 1:30, and the outro mood at around 2:30 and outro variation of the main theme keep this from becoming stale despite the redundant mood in the song (4:41 is a bit long for generically reggae-style progressions in my book). The end could be a tad better, it just randomly fades out without introducing any new concluding mood...but generally little touches in the arrangement are what keeps this track from falling flat into an over-redundant mood.
 
3Sound Quality Description
Considering this is by-intention game music the sounds are quite fitting and oddly relaxing compared to the rampant loud square-wave grinds and sudden drums heard in much demo-style music. Imagine an old-school NES song, nut with modern filters and chorus/reverb inserts to soften it and you'll get a feel for this track's sound.
