I don't think it's as great as Fate's Footsteps, but it's excellent anyways.
The Hylian Phoenix OST: A Quest for Hope
Description:
Composed about three years ago for Robin's The Legend of Zelda: The Hylian Phoenix, "A Quest for Hope" was a Hyrule Field Theme meant to encompass the essence of past Zelda games as well as a distinct darkness to match the new storyline. Despite some occasionally blocky orchestration, the endeavor was successful overall and felt like a natural addition into the Zelda universe.
The process of composing this one was driven my looking at the overworld map while messing around on the piano. Somehow I settled on the key of D♯ minor, which I don't recommend writing in. I suppose you do get cool chords like E♯ half-diminished seventh, but that's about it. (I think Nuvo ended up transposing the melody down a half step when he used it as a motif in his contributions to the game. I don't blame him.)
As of writing, this song will exist in some form in Robin's Inferno, but with the Zelda references removed.
Enjoy!

You've got so much going on in this one that I can't really give you any constructive criticism! I wish I could write something as careful and smart as this, rather than pounding my listener's ears with rambunctious notes. I can barely tell where the major chords turn into minors, and where the minors turn into majors lol (piano segment being the exception). You've got a lot of invisible, not readily apparent things about this song that keep me from approaching it with the critic's perspective. The subtle things definitely matter.Basically, I have nothing but massive raving for this song.
