Yes, it’s the only side-scroller in the series. And yes, it’s still awesome.

Overworld Adventures: Notes is a collection of NES-style 8-bit sample instruments inspired by the music of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. This pack reflects the distinct tonal shift introduced by the game, with a stronger emphasis on vibrato-rich sounds and a more melodic, expressive style of music compared to the original Zelda soundtrack. The instruments in this pack are based on the themes used for its overworld towns, side-scrolling combat stages, and tense dungeon sequences. It includes vibrato-infused stab instruments, basses, and a small selection of noise-based snare drum samples.

This pack contains:

  • 9 Instrument Patches
  • Formatted for Kontakt • Ableton Live • FL Studio • EXS24 / Sampler • Maschine • MPC • TAL-Sampler
  • 90 8-Bit Note Samples (bass & stab)
  • 6 8-Bit Drum Samples (Snare)
  • 24-bit / 44.1 kHz WAV
  • 19 MB

This instrument library features two notable characteristics. First, many of the samples use a non-continuous vibrato effect that alternates between two slightly offset pitch values, creating a subtle, pulsing movement rather than a smooth modulation. Second, all instruments in this pack (aside from the bass) are stab sounds, and there are no "lead" instruments with sustained notes.
