Apparently we had an error. Staff Credits Redux was the same song as the original when you listened to it on the Listen page. The error has now been fixed and you can enjoy it here.

Thanks Tim for directing our attention to this!

On another note, today is Fire’s birthday! He turns 19. HAHA! Anyway, send him some of your love in the comments section!

Well, I finally received Phantom Hourglass for Christmas this year. I must say, it is a fantastic game! I can only hope more Zelda games will be like this one. It is truly revolutionary! Phantom Hourglass moves the series forward just as Ocarina of Time did over six years ago. It’s a great time to be a Zelda fan!

Now that I’ve had a chance to play a bit of the game and get a feel for what its about, I finally present to you the Phantom Hourglass CD Art. Check it out in the Art section.

I apologize for not having the Phantom Hourglass art finished much earlier. There were two reasons for this. One, I had only a vague idea what Phantom Hourglass was all about. I did not want to create an uninspired piece of art that looked similar to The Wind Waker’s art. Second, I wanted to play the game to find the appropriate imagery and inspiration for such art. Now, after playing a good portion of the game (and loving every minute of it), I decided what look I wanted to achieve with this piece.

You see, I really wanted to avoid a Wind Waker replica. I knew I wanted the Phantom Hourglass art to feature the ocean, but the challenge was to make it look interesting and completely different than The Wind Waker. I knew that having another image of an ocean would be a given. For that same reason, this was the most difficult cover to work on, in terms of planning and the imagery I wanted to achieve. I had started working on the design for this cover months before the game was released in the US… and only until last night was I able to complete the look I was happy with.

Now for those of you who’ve all ready played through the game, you might think my cover art is a bit too dark for the game. On one hand, you’d be right. On the other, the image of the ghost ship on the cover of the box art - and the sequence of events that lead you to the ship in the game - stuck out so clearly in my mind, I knew it had to be the focus of ZREO’s cover art.

I had stumbled upon a magnificent painting of a ghost ship that I simply had to include in this art as well (unfortunately and oddly enough, I couldn’t find an artist name to credit for this contribution)! Naturally, that led to a dark and mature tone for Phantom Hourglass’ cover art - a great contrast from The Wind Waker’s cover design. I hope you all like the way it turned out!

Hey all!

Did you think we’d screw you on a week’s worth of updates? Nahh. This Friday, a NEW OoT Song, The Legend of Hyrule!

~Fire

Wow, guys, its been quite the year. Went through some awesome times, and some horrible times. Through it all, you all have been some amazing fans, and I love you all. As promised, we have a new song, Staff Credits Redux from Wind Waker. Some who have had early screenings of this song have said it may be the best Redux so far.

BUT WAIT! That’s not all! To ring in the new year, I am officially announcing that there will be random SOUNDSCAPE tracks now. That’s right, new Soundscape songs will be released as singluar songs, and no need to wait for an entire album. That said, we are also releasing the first non-album Soundscape track, Staff Credits Redux Soundscape, from Wind Waker. I hope you enjoy.

Also, we have added NEW CONTENT to the site, the Archives Section! We have gone through some unbelievable lengths to find scans and copies of the oldest Z.R.E.O. material. Here you will find information and images about the oldest of the Z.R.E.O. Sites and projects. As we find more content, this section will be continuously updated. We hope you enjoy.

Lastly, if you haven’t visited the Chat Room yet, please do! We are always eager to hear from the fans. Also, on more official business, we are looking for Chat Server Mods and idlers. Apply within, or e-mail me.

Thanks for making this year amazing, and we’ll see you in 2008!

That said, ALL THIS WEEKEND, starting IMMEDIATELY, we’re throwing a little party in the ZREO Chatroom. Click above on the “Chat” button to view details. ALL are welcomed. I really hope to see the regulars there as well as new people.

Hey all!

…Damn, long title. Anyway, this week, we’ve got Mayor’s House; Counsel Room Redux from Majora’s Mask! Hope you all enjoy!

On a side note, I’ve made a change to the definition of a “Redux”. Reduxes will now no longer be strictly remakes of the previous versions to make the quality better, but totally different takes on the song - for variety. The big plus side to this change is that once we complete an Album, say OoT, The Album may be complete, but Reduxes may still continue.

Thanks, and take care!

Hey ZREO fans, a while back I mentioned I was doing a radio show for a station up here in Washington state. It so happens to be a university station where I attend school. Today’s show is my last for the semester. I have lots of new music to share and a great ending song! Please listen if you have the time!

MoZ’s 8-Bit Mix, today starting at 10am - Noon (Pacific Time).

You can listen to a live stream here.

Hey all! This Friday we’re releasing Midna’s Suite for Twilight Princess! This suite contains both Midna’s Theme and Midna’s Desperation. As songs by themselves, they rather lacked. A friend of mine gave me the good idea to combine them somehow, so thus we have todays release. Enjoy!

L9ers,
