Mizutsune Theme - Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance (Fan Arrangement)

Decided to try my hand at arranging Mizutsune's theme from Wilds. It's not exactly a hot take to say that his theme in Wilds is easily the weakest one. That's not to say it's bad, but Rise really nailed it in a way that Wilds misses when you compare the two. In Wilds, though it has its merits, lacks any real impact in some places, and even outright removes some parts of his original theme that, in my opinion, are too good to change. With this arrangement, I wanted to hammer home the 'cool factor' of Mizutsune while also still keeping his mystique, and I may or may not have had a little too much fun with the shamisen in the process. I arranged some of the new phrases from Wilds rendition because I still think they were really well thought out ideas. I also threw in a Misty Peaks reference at the end because why not. Overall this was really fun to do. Nargacuga may be next, or possibly Lagiacrus. Who knows. Disclaimer: Mizutsune's theme is NOT my original creation. All credit belongs to Capcom and their composers. #mhwilds #monsterhunterwilds #ascendance
