I cut the first D to half its length (two semibreves tied to just one), that's the only conscious alteration I made to the actual notes.

Cut a note's length in half and suddenly it qualifies as an arrangement? 

Very nice indeed, I love this piece. Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game

Well I guess I should say transcription but eh can never be sure (even though this is actually Koji Kondo's).

Anyway thanks :3

Wait a minute - is this Koji Kondos arrangement, or is it your on arrangement???

No matter which way - I wouldn't cut the first D - it builds more suspense if you don't.

[teran]

Yes it's Koji Kondo's own, or at the very least strictly supervised by him. It's from the official Majora's Mask OST Piano album.

And thing is about the first D is that its effect comes from the crescendo, and the fact that it dies away significantly more after the 4 beats just gives an undesirable effect imo. I dunno maybe if I had a full size concert grand with longer sustain I'd be inclined to think differently but there we go.
