Hi everyone
I've made an arrangement of the Kotake and Koume Theme from Zelda - Ocarina of time. So I want to give back something to this really nice Site.
So, my list of arrangements now is:
1. N64 - Zelda OoT - Kotake & Koume's Theme - My

with the Midi File from FinaleNotePad:

Yes, only one. Maybe I'll make more, but for now I hope you enjoy it. My Arrangement is (and others will be) for every Instument which is able to play it. ;) I play the accordion and cannot write proper pianomusic, but there are the Melody and the Chords, so I'm sure you can use my arrangement to play it on your instrument like you want.
Mr. Kothund
edit: So, I hope everything is right now.
The format of the sheet could use some fixing. Make should it meets all these requirements: http://www.ninsheetmusic.net/forum/index.php?topic=481.0
The actual music, on the other hand, I can't judge because the computer I am on does not have sound plus I have never heard of this song
Well, this stinks. :P
the song that's on the site is called "Magic Hag's Shop" in the Majora's Mask SubSection, by Jimbabwe. Basically, Kotake's and Koume's Theme is already done.
But I hate to see a good arrangement go to waste...
I know of two sites that do not have this song (I checked).
One is called www.apollomix.com. It's relatively new, and is owned by FrankDAngelo, now The_Grimace.
The other is really new, and called www.gamemusicworld.net. It's owned by B-KPianist, Akiro, and a few other people.
I go to both of these regularly. You'll have to change the song format for either sites if you want to submit to them.
Sorry. :-\
The song as it is currently written is unplayable.
The staffs overlap in some places.
Öh? I don't know what you mean. As I said, I don't play the piano, I play the accordion and I had no problems to play it.
Do you mean the cords or what? What do you mean whit "the staffs"? My english is not that good. If there are some overlapped sounds, that's correct, listen to the oricinal version. BUt maybe you can't play that on the piano, so I'm sorry about that.
If it's unplayable for your Instrument, then change it so that you can play it.
But I'm going to holiday tomorrow, so I wont answer for a while.
Sorry for bumping this up, but I have an important question. "Kotake & Koume's Theme" and "Magic Hags' Potion Shop" are the same song and the sheet musics for both of these were arranged by Kothund, but they aren't exactly identical. I want to know which one is the correct version.
Both are. One of from Majora's Mask and the other one is from Ocarina of Time. Now, I haven't looked at them in detail, but as far as I know, they sound pretty good to me. That is, if you don't want my version which I know is error free.
:D
Is the Majora's Mask version of the song actually different from the OoT version
Where's your version?
It's not a piano arrangement. It's a flute duet with an accompanying piano. It's a little diddly-doo I did back in the day when I first started arranging.
I'll post up a link if the other two aren't good.

Kothund's arrangement is flawless. Really, I can't spot a mistake: A minor with G#, it's perfectly playable and accurate, wonderful formatting... It's on site if you want to check it out.
Both songs are identical. The MM one was reused from OoT.
...actually, I just listened to both. The MM one is maybe a HAIR faster. Like, we're taliing 1 or 2 bpm. Not enough to make a significant difference. And Kothund's arrangement is both playable and accurate.
You're right. They are good. Also, didn't know that they were arranged by you, good sir. I thought you were requesting an arrangement of it. Or something like that.
Anyways.
I'll post up mine in my thread just so you have some work to compare. I don't intend on putting it up the site, so no worries there.
Other than that, keep up the good work, dude.

However, Kothund's sheet musics for "Kotake & Koume's Theme" and "Magic Hags' Potion Shop" are
NOT identical. There are differences in measures 16, 21, and 22.
Come on people! This is super important.
It's not.
Also the pieces are exactly the same, there's no tempo difference that I can hear.
Marioguy:
1) For one thing, the reason nobody has responded to your question is that this sounds INCREDIBLY trivial. Both have miniscule differences that no one would notice.
2) It sounds pretty rude to say 'come on people' for something like this. If you play piano AT ALL, you should be able to listen to the music and rhythms and spot the differences. You're asking us to set aside our valuable time to do something you could easily do yourself, and for something that sounds petty. Care to tell us why it's so important?
As long as I'm typing this up, though, I might as well....
I just listened to the song. About 40 seconds in, two wind instruments start weaving around each other. The differences in Kothund's sheet are actually both acceptable, because in one sheet in that measure, it shows one woodwind's part, but on the other sheet, it shows the other wind. That make sense? They're technically both correct.
Stop striving for perfection and accuracy and just write the dang piece.
As long as it sounds correct and it's playable, then there's no need for it to be perfect. That's the sole purpose of an arrangement, it's YOUR interpretation.
Just something to ponder, mate.
I agree completely. A playable arrangement that sounds correct is much better than an arrangement that is perfectly accurate, but difficult to the point of ridiculousness.

Thanks. I was justing wondering why he/she made two different versions of the same song and also which version was made first.
Why was that so important?

Because I don't want to use a version that's fundamentally wrong. The difference in measure 16
really bothers me for some reason. I've decided to go with the version from Majora's Mask and see how that goes.
the link isn't working for me. i tried on Explorer, Chrome and FireFox and i got a server error everytime. is that happening to anybody else?

Megaupload was taken down over a year ago. Kothund's sheets are already on the site though.
I feel like Ralph from Oracle of Ages when he tells Link that Rafton completed his waterproof rope before he died and it's in his tomb in the present.
