This pack is created from the official ALBW soundtrack to provide full sound quality.
Setting up this pack for the first time
This pack needs to be uncompressed into .pcm form. On Windows, you can run ALBW Pack Builder.bat
to create the .pcm files you'll need.
Or you can run msupcm.exe msu_albw.json
at the command line, or drag and drop
msu_albw.json
onto msupcm.exe
. All of these do the same thing.
msupcm.exe is a copy of msupcm++, by qwertymodo. The source code is available at https://github.com/qwertymodo/msupcmplusplus.
Some features of this pack
Where possible, I made use of the different variations on themes that appear in ALBW:
-
Hyrule Overworld changes to Hyrule Overworld 2, including the initial fanfare, after you pull the pedestal.
-
Lorule Overworld changes to Lorule Overworld 2 when you have 7 crystals.
-
ALBW has five increasingly intense versions of the Lorule Castle theme, depending on the number of sections you've completed. On the OST and here, they're combined into one big track that plays them in order of intensity. I make it loop by going back to the 3rd version (so that the drumbeat doesn't suddenly drop out). So the loop goes 1 2 3 4 5 5 3 4 5 5 ...
-
Misery Mire is not a dungeon in ALBW, so in this pack, I use Hilda's theme (Princess Hilda Appears) for it.
-
ALBW has a lot of battle themes for different situations, and I was able to use them to give almost every boss in ALttP a unique theme, with the Lorule boss theme used twice.
Track list
These tracks refer to tracks on the game's OST CD set, using the English titles from the European release.

Mother Maiamai's Theme (File Select) actually comes from the 3DS audio rip by helsionium, because it's more complete than track 1-26 on the official OST. The "Milk Bar Medley" was assembled by me from tracks included in helsionium's rip.
I edited the "Staff Credits" track from the OST, cutting out a section of the music so it would finish at the length of the ALttP credits. And though in most cases I appreciated the OST's clean recordings without sound effects, in the case of the credits, I edited the sound of birds surrounding the pedestal back in. Birds are nice.
