Before anyone jumps on board with this, I feel I should mention that this arrangement would've probably never been done if TheDekuTrombonist hadn't stepped up and helped me finish it back in the day. I feel a little weird putting it up like this but with him gone I can't just let this sit by and collect dust!
edit:
Oh man.....I love his song! I'll give some feedback when I get on my computer.
I thought you werr gone from the forums though? Anyway, nice job!

ehh it's up in the air. I figure I may as well try to get some more of my stuff on site before I really leave.
Anyway, great work!
I have a little feedback:
- Url should be NinSheetMusic instead of ninsheetmusic.
- The title on the second page should not be bold. Just normal.
- In measure 9, the C#'s should be Db's.....(I'm not 100% about this. They should either be Db's or the next measure C's should have courtesy accidentals.)
Other than that, excellent work!
They should be Db, decending chromatic passage. Those Bn should be Cb too.
Will change those ASAP.
The accidentals are spelled fine as they are K-Night. You did good mah boi.

You're looking at the passage (m. 9) in a "horizontal" manner, when you should look at it more "vertically". C# is the raised 7th of D minor (leading tone of the harmonic minor scale), and B natural is a raised 6th scale degree (derived from the melodic minor scale). This kind of chromatically descending bass is quite common -- it even has its own name, "Lament Bass" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lament_bass). Even without knowing that, just testing Db or Cb makes no chordal sense, whereas, with C# or B, you can clearly see how those tones relate to the chord (F#augM7 and G9, respectively).
^Interesting.
Also noticed that the game developer should be "Level-5" rather than "level 5", very minor thing but still.
Fixed :D
