I may cry if I don't get it. iam8bit's big preorders lately have seemed to mainly be open. I would imagine this would be the same, especially since it's not shipping for a while and they make no mention of it being limited. Could be wrong, though. Edit: they just confirmed on Twitter it's an open preorder. So, easy to get. Edited December 8, 2016 by lethalenforcer EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to take a break at work as soon as this goes up tomorrow to get it. One of my favorite games/soundtracks of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najerarick88 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 YES! Too pumped for that Hero Of Time release. Glad it's an open preorder, can't miss grabbing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 God that looks incredible. To be clear, this appears to be the same recording as the kickstarter that went up a month or so ago. I'll be honest, if they'd have put these mock ups on the kickstarter page I would have jumped straight on it. Vector53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced in one of their backer updates that iam8bit would handle this release. Le Gogh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 How "open" are these Iam8bit releases normally? Christmas has got my wallet feeling pretty light and I get paid on the 16th. Would rather wait until then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far only Hotline Miami 2 from them sold out so I wouldn't worry too much about it selling out overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like ia8b take orders for quite some time before they even manufacture the records and since Hotline they don't seem to sell out anymore, so I think you're good.

natenomm Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Man, someone should really press the "Let it Die" soundtrack, because it fucking shreds. vinyl21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Actually, didn't Transistor sell out as well? At least, I haven't seen it on their web store for a while now anyways. Just kidding, Have to be honest, the Hero of Time samples aren't really catching my attention. Production quality aside (obviously they are just mockup samples), the arrangements sound too dramatic/cinematic for my taste. It kind of loses the cute and simple charm of the original N64 soundtrack. I wish they approached this more like the Smash Bros Melee orchestra soundtrack "Smashing...Live!" by just taking the exact arrangement (for the most part) but recreating it with orchestral instruments. Artwork is gorgeous though. Edited December 8, 2016 by ghost LordZagry and natenomm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogrejoyed Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just got an email from the Kickstarter that shows the front of the album, which is an Ocarina and it stated this: "features a die-cut ocarina window on the jacket's front, a panoramic gatefold with each folder representing light and darkness, and a gorgeous gold-foil-stamped Triforce on the back cover." I'm unbelievably excited to own this. rpbtz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Also from the kickstarter email: Quote with some backer-exclusive "added touches!" Not sure if that means special inserts or maybe alternate colors/artwork than the standard release, but they do make it sound like we will get something at least slightly different.

Professor Finn Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 After seeing the Symphony of the Goddess from the 4th row I'm pretty excited for Zelda music, looks like this'll be my first iam8bit release. Le Gogh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This new Iam8bit "Updates" page is great and all, but some explanation of the delays would be nice. My friend ordered me and him a copy of Ori, which was supposed to ship in November. Now this page says January and with no actual reason. http://iam8bit.com/updates LordZagry and thievedrelic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a goddamn shame that iam8bit is really one of the only companies doing video game soundtracks consistently. They get so many high profile releases that I'm into, but I'm tired of the waiting and the delays. For that reason, I'm hesitant to order Ocarina of Time because I know I'll be waiting another six months until I can spin it. The half-year waits for these soundtrack just don't make sense to me.
