The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has an iconic soundtrack, but the game also has a second official soundtrack that was only released in Japan. It’s really good.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Re-Arranged Album debuted in Japan on December 22, 1999. Arranged and performed by artist MOKA, the 12-track album featured remixes of most of Koji Kondo’s pieces from OoT, from the battle and shop music to area-specific themes like Lon Lon Ranch and the Lost Woods.
Sadly, a remix to the theme for Gerudo Valley is not on the album. These are a few of my favourite tracks that did make the final cut.
If you like what you hear, the album is available to import for a fairly reasonable price on Amazon.

This is really nice! I really like these soundtracks! A Gerudo Valley re-arrangement would have been cool for sure but I like the Hyrule Field re-arrangement!
ゼルダの伝説時のオカリナ!
Hm, saw it in Tower Records in Japan in May but dont particularily like rearranges (prefer originals).
You can get it also from CD Japan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TKCA-71824
I’ve got a bunch of MOKA remixes from a disc that a friend gave me years ago, no idea they were meant to be so rare.
If you’re after lots of remixes/arrangements of game music, ocremix.org is worth a look.
Had this album for a loooong time. It’s alright…
