I love the orchestral arrangements people have made, but they'd never fit into the game itself. Your remasters have such an "official" feel to it with you using the original (or close) samples - everything sounds the same, but better. Great work and I'm happy the TH-cam Algorithm recommended your channel to me!
Really happy to hear my remasters are reaching more people! And thanks for saying this, I do pride myself with this remaster format, and I completely agree with you. The only reason I started doing this is because other TH-camrs' remasters are more dramatic and sound like they're meant to be in a film rather than the actual game...
@@starbender5468 Seconding this. These remasters are exactly what I've been looking for, for my D&D games. High quality and beautiful but still just like the original and loopable. Absoutely beautiful. Hats off to you mate! :)
@@rhidor8524 Exactly: it's not a question of space, but a question of fitting stylistically with the content of the game. It would be a shame to do away with Koji's magnificent work and careful curation of instrument samples.
I have one of the original 'pre-edit' 1998 OoT cartridges. I just had a blast playing it through a week ago. The fire temple just isnt the same without this wonderful chanting track. Thank you for remastering it so people who dont even know it ever existed can enjoy it!
@@BarrickMacreadyIt’s the exact opposite for me. I grew up with the OG golden cartridge and so when I first heard the “new” version on the 3DS I immediately thought “what the fuck?” So I fill in the chanting. Edit: It was new to me and I first heard it on the 3DS. I know it was replaced in some N64 cartridges as well.
@@benjaminsoto7706 I think my cousin had the gold cartridge, he visited one weekend and beat the end of the light (sand?) Temple and then beat Gannon, that was amazing at the time. Got my parents to buy me the game a few weeks later, but always knew the fire temple as the remade version but I do like the OG theme and find it catchy
As a kid, I had no idea about Muslim chanting or whatnot. I just thought it sounded like they were saying “happy birthday.” Future releases just kinda felt wrong, and I wondered if something got changed, or if I was remembering things wrong.
Everyone is like "the music was eerie in the temple with the chant" whilst I was resenting enemies for stopping the song. I could literally just let Link hangout at the Temple's entrance to hear the music. Glad I grew up with the original game and not the remake.
I have the original N64 cartridge I got it in 1999 so I played it for a very long time until my N64 broke. I did not know it was changed until I was 18 in 2010 when I got the GameCube version. This version of the fire temple theme is one of my favorite Ocarina of time songs.
This is 100% going in my ledgend of Zelda music playist it's sound so official like they could put the original version of the fire temple theme back in and have it be this version of it and it would be so good your remaster sound like the actual real thing if it was modernized it's so good youtube really needs to recommended smaller channels I'm glad it recommended you to me.
dude these remasters are so good. My first play-through of OoT had the censored music in the fire temple but I remember playing through the game with a friend some 5 years later and his cartridge has the original music. I was like "hooooooooly shit this is amazing." (even tho I feel like Koji did a pretty good job of trying to capture the same 'feel' with re-used shadow temple samples). keep up the awesome work. I'm definitely subbing and putting all of these into a playlist :)
I feel as if they should have kept a voice instead of the music we have now, I woulda just made a new sample in gibberish or something or like a hymn??
Awesome you did the original and not the crap they replaced it with. Since you’ve remastered awesome songs from a couple of my favourite games, I’m subscribing. Lol
I remember playing ocarina of time as a kid, and watching my siblings play it as well. I always loved this theme, the chants stuck with me for many years. At some point I lost my copy if ocarina, (I think my brother lent it to a friend and they never gave it back) But I was over at my cousins place and he was playing the later release version of Ocarina with OUT the chants. He just happend to be at the fire temple too, and I was so confused, I was like, wasn't this music differant?? I could of swore there was a chior or something chanting in the background. He had no idea what I was talking about. Later I took to youtube (very early youtube at that) and NO ONE had uploaded the original version, atleast to the extent that I could find. I felt like I had a false memory. It wasn't until even more years had passed where I understood the controversy, and that several versions of Ocarina of Time were released. Ironically now, it appears there has been a course correction, now I can't seem to find the edited version at all, which I think is good in its own right, just not as iconic.
I just discovered this and subscribed! Amazing work! I've always had an idea of replacing the shadow temple voice samples with the choir samples from the N64 Rareware games like the ones used in Mayahem Temple in Banjo Tooie and Angry Aztec in DonkeyKong 64. I feel these samples would be fitting replacements if chorded and keyed correctly.
It was removed because the chanting you hear in the original version is the Islamic profession of faith. The Arabic language you hear translates to "There is no god but Allah."
i'm muslim and i really wish they did... that sound suits that atmosphere a lot even if it is a verse of quran and it "offends" muslims (idk why tbh). but it sounds great
@@mxujib From what I’ve heard, the version with the sample removed was finished being coded before 1.0 was even released. That would mean the chanting version was probably left in due to time constraints...
@@mxujib I feel like if it played in a different temple than the fire temple people who are offended would be less offended. Idk, the fact that the religious chants are in a "hell" like dungeon could potentially make some people uncomfortable
Massive eargasm bro 🥴 The Fire Temple theme smacked my booty cheeks hard upon hearing it the first time but this remix smacked my booty cheeks even harder 😤🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@KUIJEN8659 🤣 no worries. it just means that the 3DS is really reading MIDI files rather than actual audio files (like wav, mp3, flac), so you cant replace the music with other audio files
man! you are a genius, you've included the Muslims chants! that was a nice touch, respects the original version, the true uncensored version. a real tribute. thanks.
they're actually islamic chants they're very smoothed out that non native arabic speakers won't notice it but to a native arabic speaker I can very much tell what they're saying as we repeat these words each day in prayer the words are : "Allah akbar" which means god is the greatest "bism Allah al-rahman al-rahim" > "by the name of god the most merciful" and "la ilah illa Allah" > "there is no other god besides Allah" you can hear similar words in the "Eid Takbeer" if you search for that on youtube
Hey man, can you upload a remastered version of the original fire temple as used in the game? I really love the original, and I use your versions as sleeping melodies ☺️
I like this version with chants and its sad that they removed it from game. Why Nintendo doesnt replaced it with some custom chants like it but without religion context. This version more atmospheric ...and little frightening.
It was done to avoid disrespect to the Islamic community and I guess Nintendo didn't want to take any chances. Other games had similar things happen to them like Street Fighter V's Bison stage which accidentally had them in there but a patch came out that removed them.
you need to look for the 1.0 or 1.1 versions of the cart you can tell by looking at the back www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/213nwb/how_to_check_the_version_of_your_oot_cartridge/
@@xaviorarrokoth Depends on what sect you ask. Some say its haram, some say its makruh some say its Mubah. Some do zikr with the company of instruments like the ney or daf. Some hadith explain it depends on how you use the music and what the intent is. If its malicious and blasphemous its haram. If its in the company of belly dancing,drinking alcohol etc its haram. Short version: The factor that decides if music is haram or not is the intention and how the music is being used. Sami Yusuf is a famous islamic singer. Is it haram what he does? No.

Call me crazy but when i visited Petra, this song was playing in my head all the way!
Nice remake mate!
I always thought the famous entrance used in Indiana Jones 3 looked more like the spirit temple.

Hey man will use this for my latest video this is the only remaster on youtube that mantains the original essence of the song! Great work!!!
Fun fact: they removed the crescent and star from the Mirror Shield in later versions of the game for the same reason as the calls to prayer
just found this now but holy shit your remasters are so cool
Remasters so far all crispy clear. Keep up the great work.
Cant wait for the other two, I've never seen a shadow temple remaster and not any good spirit temple ones either so I'm looking forward to it!

DO SPIRIT TEMPLE NEXT! one of the best video game tracks.
Hey, can't promise I'll do it next, but it's definitely planned!
X2 please
hey gurl whats up
we need the title theme

Others then that: great!
Gerudo valley sometime please? These are amazing. Best of luck to you in gaining traction man.
great job my guy keep it up !
As a kid I always wondered it felt like I was in the mosque when this track would come up
Just a reverb in The percussions and now is amazing sound.. Very good. The original sounds a litle" dry".
Man after this I would love to hear a Shadow Temple remaster!
Amazing work!!! what is next? Spirit temple??? gerudo valley song? shadow temple??? please sometthing of that
Thank you for basing this on the CORRECT version of this song.
