    When I was a kid, I remember playing for hours and hours both of OoT and Majora's. I didn't have many friends and I found refuge in both games, for all my life I have struggled with feeling lonely. When Song of Healing started playing I remembered all of this and cried, after all these years things have changed, I have good friends and family, and also such good memories of playing Majora's Mask. Thank you for this arrangement, I'm a musician myself and I can say it truly healed me listening to it.

    What a well crafted musical journey. This arrangement really captures the very essence of the game. I really love how it ends with the song of healing, since that kind of leaves the impression that regardless how bad something might end, there's always gonna be a new beginning. It also made clear that this new beginning cannot undo the happenings of the past. Well done.

I would still really love to play this as my final piece to end my year months from now. It is so beautiful and I have never been able to find a composition like this for Zelda games.

It's such an underrated, offputting piece that I rarely see it remixed or mentioned at all amongst the other stellar entries in the soundtrack. And kudos to the performers and conductor as well for a praiseworthy performance.
