Not bad, although I was expecting a much more depressing song, given the circumstances around Pamela's father. Although from the sound of things, his condition has degraded quite as much as it did in the game... yet. Nice work, as always. Keep it up.

Eh, I feel like it was a good lead-up to the situation regarding how her father was starting to turn. That, or this is just her way of coping. I will admit to thinking her voice was pretty bad, but the lyrics and focus of the song was much better this time around than in Sakon's.

I just recently saw this post, and I think this is AWESOOOOME!!!!!

Not bad, although I was expecting a much more depressing song, given the circumstances around Pamela's father.

If I remember correctly, that tune is the one that Pamela's music box house plays after Link makes the water flow again. Following that tune for the opera is a good idea, in my opinion, especially if her daddy wrote it for her (like the song says) and her daddy wouldn't want to write her a sad or dreadful tune.
... I just researched it; the tune is actually called "Farewell to Gibdos". (Makes sense, really.)
Edit: Now that I think about it, the tune sounds like a slight modification of Mario 64's "funhouse" tune from the bottom of the ghost house... Well, they're both by Nintendo, so that makes sense! /Edit

Anyway, I think this is great! I loved how you did the council scene. That Sakon sure is quite the character, too! Looking forward to more!

Edit: By the way, I fully support your decision to exclude Link from the opera. Especially if the moon falls at the end. This will go to show the audience what would happen if Link never happened to stop by in the first place. Besides, Link mainly just lost his horse and Ocarina; otherwise, he wouldn't have been involved in these people's lives at all.
I was pondering that it might be nice to have someone dressed like Link if there's a crowd scene. But, the more I think about it, the audience (that notice him) might end up thinking, "There's Link; why doesn't he do something? He's supposed to be the hero, after all!" So, it's just as well a good idea not to include him at all. (He's just a kid, anyway!)

Thanks.

That completely dissonant bass line in the strings makes the tune sound off, actually (strings in F#, the rest in F). The depression in it is subtle, much like a child cannot truly understand what is going on.

Eh, I feel like it was a good lead-up to the situation regarding how her father was starting to turn. That, or this is just her way of coping. I will admit to thinking her voice was pretty bad, but the lyrics and focus of the song was much better this time around than in Sakon's.

I find it funny that some people are criticizing Sakon's lyrics. I actually like that. They are ridiculous and use obscure words because he is ridiculously pretenTIOUS. Sakon will always use similar rhyming schemes, as he is but an empty, petty man trying to sound better than he is and failing.

Song of Storms Poll:

Please read the top post and vote!

[Russ]

I'm not seeing a poll, but regardless, I trust your opinion on the issue. Whatever you think would work best probably would; I don't have enough experience with these things to know for myself.

[Berlioz]

You don't see a poll on the right sidebar? o_O

I need to know if that's just you or an issue for more people.

[The Satellite]

I can't see it either. Maybe it's a members-only feature?

[Jared]

Hey, Berlioz. I just realized, you posted this same thing on Hyrule.net. I also go there. It's kind of cool to see you again.

This is actually pretty cool though...great job.

[Lightwulf]

I can't see it either. Maybe it's a members-only feature?

Not for me. The only time I don't see a poll is after I've clicked on the link to see the comments (listed after the post).

If the original link didn't take you there, Berlioz put a link in the post itself that takes you to the correct page, where it says, "There is a poll on the sidebar..." Click on that and then you should see the poll to the right of the post.

(If you still don't see it after that, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe it's a compatibility problem with your browser? I use a PC with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8, and I can see it. Definitely post if you still can't see it.)

Well that's odd. Doesn't work in Firefox. But it works in Chrome, and apparently in IE... that's just bizarre. Might wanna leave a note about that Berlioz.

[Shane]

I use Firefox, and I see it Russ.

[Russ]

What version of Firefox are you using?

[Shane]

What version of Firefox are you using?

12.0 I think.

Edit: Yep.
