A Village Far Away: the percussion is my favorite part of this track--I just love the little, intimate details of the drums. The way you've gone about creating that medieval, folksy sound is actually quite smart! I like the heterophony!

A Song of Adventure: love the little fluttering trills and small details in the flute part! I'd love to know what VST you used for it. The strings are nice and expressive too. So far, my impression is that this sounds like an elevated Windwaker-esque soundtrack. 

A Moment to Gaze the Stars: what a lovely, intimate harp solo. The repetition of the melody in the flute, with little piano flutters as a mini-countermelody, is a perfect example of how to expand a melody. I like how the melody keeps trading from instrument to instrument. What a sentimental and sweet song :)

In Ancient Ruins: love the addition of synths here, to convey something more mystical afoot. Very Zelda dungeon coded. The part in the middle where things pick up has some super clever harmonic shifts that convey a sense of doom and challenge. The interplay between the oboe and oboe(clarinet) is quite adventurous. Cool choir chord at the end, too! There's lots of interesting things going on here.

A Legendary Song: a fun callback to the first two songs, I love the expressive melody in the cellos with the mounting intensity of the stabbing chords! The cello melody doesn't speak as much as I'd like it to. It gets a bit lost in the chords, so maybe bring it up in the mix, or double it with violas or another instrument? Or try to find a VST with a Marcato patch, which can help with fast, intense legato melodies.

A Rowdy Evening: I was looking forward to this one just based off the silly title XD this is a relaxing but upbeat little tune. I like the way the percussion ties the soundtrack together. Beautiful string writing, and such fun, memorable melodies! 

In all, this is a super impressive soundtrack, and it's a real shame you haven't got any reviews yet. People are sleeping on a really stellar piece of work! Good job, and keep writing!

The tin whistle I used in A Song of Adventure and A Legendary Song is "Tin Whistle by Ventus Winds". I also really love how expressive it can get with all the articulations there are.

About A Legendary Song, thank you very much for the advice. I also had some difficulties with the overall loudness of the sound; the drums would spike the true peak meter without really increasing the perceived loudness so that particular track would sound a bit lower than the others (to stay below -1 dB of true peak). I still have to find a solution for that.

And thank you so much for your detailed review ! Really glad to read you've enjoyed it.
