Preamble

At least six sound libraries were used for Animation Magic's Zelda games, many of which were made and/or published by Sound Ideas:

  1. General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library (GS6K)
  2. Series 4000 Hollywood Sound Effects Library (S4KH)
  3. Series 2000 General Sound Effects Library (S2K)
  4. Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library (H-B)
    (including sounds that would later appear on the fifth 'Lost Treasures' disc)
  5. Lucasfilm Sound Effects Library (LF)
  6. The O'Connor Crazies (OCC)
    (made by RadioMall)

These sound libraries would continue to be used for future Animation Magic games; for example, I.M. Meen's "rhyme for you" warp exit sound and the "Ganon sucked into the Book of Koridai" sound have the same base. In addition, preset/expansion patches from Roland/KORG products were used for the music and certain sounds. There is a good chance that more libraries and equipment were used for the games' audio design, though they have yet to be found.

If a sound was edited in post-production, it will have a note nearby that indicates what, exactly, was done to it. Sounds that are exclusive to the English version of the game (that is, they are not present in the dubbed versions) are marked with a cross (✝). Sounds that might originate from synth instruments are marked with diamonds (❖)

If a sound is missing, it's likely because it was done by the voice actors themselves (such as Droolik's eating from TFoE). However, if you find the source to one of these 'original' sounds - or one of the listed unidentified ones - let me know as soon as possible.
