Atmospheric theme of the Big Plot Mystery...the original starts off sounding like "Minecraft - cat" before evolving into a chill electronic track similar to Geofront. The remake steps it up to be much more menacing with dramatic orchestral swells, and adds playful flute flourishes that I really love!

My second favorite Zero theme. This is incredibly enthralling for some reason, and a unique song in its own right. Listen to it yourself; you'll either get what I'm saying or you won't.

Sorry for not giving the evo version an appropriately higher score dowolf. As you'll read later, the evo version does not compare contextually to the other version, but taken as an original composition like you are supposed to for this project, this song is great. Very beautiful, with a bit of a motivating and surreal taste to it. Delicious

A sidenote irrelevant to the ratings (that may include some spoilers): As you can see, I really like the Evo version as well, but contextually I think it'd be much worse. The original theme is effective in-game because of how *subtly* foreboding and menacing it is, and how it's part of a quiet system of foreshadowing. You know you'll return to the area it plays in at some point because it has a building you don't enter the first time, but you don't know when you will. The area itself isn't too special, with the other "anomalous" regions having stranger gimmicks than the rain, which is nevertheless weirdly creepy and atmospheric. And this song is just special enough to alert you that something's up without being obvious about it, unlike a final area theme or something like A Bell That Cannot Ring which is outwardly creepy. At least in my experience, the area emanates a sublime aura that makes you feel uneasy, like you shouldn't be there, without doing anything overt enough to draw your attention. Sure, something is obviously up, but this theme alone has a connotation of *wrongness* (while still sounding great) that makes the area work so well that the evo version just lacks. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
