Showcasing intense boss fights and revamped groove-heavy arrangements of the soundtrack as a whole, The Ocean is a love letter to Zelda's soundtracks through the ages and engaging modern guitar alike. The Ocean additionally features a virtual orchestra with contributions across the world as the \"Prog XP\" Orchestra, expanding the sonic textures into progressive-symphonic metal territory, while the album continues to function as a concept album with 6-7-8 string guitar showcases, heavy band arrangements, and a contrast of gentle and aggressive tracks from the iconic game.\nRo Panuganti is a Seattle-based progressive metal guitarist and producer, best known for eclectic metal, progressive rock and fusion arrangements of video game music and original works. This album is released through GameGrooves Alliance.\nUPC\n℗ & © 2025 Ro Panuganti.\nCredits\nRo Panuganti - Guitars, Bass, Drum Programming, MIDI Programming, Arrangement, Piano, Vocals, Percussion\nThe Prog XP Orchestra is:\nAllison Martin - Trombone on \"The Legendary Hero\" and \"The Wind Waker\"\nBecca Michaelson - Flute on \"The Legendary Hero\" and Flute and Irish Flute on \"The Wind Waker\"\nChromaticApparatus - Cello on \"The Legendary Hero\" and \"The Wind Waker\"\nIan Martyn - Vocals on \"The Wind Waker\", release assistance\nJay Kim - Violin on \"The Legendary Hero\" and \"The Wind Waker\"\nNemo Fairlight - Viola on \"The Legendary Hero\", Vocals on \"The Wind Waker\"\nSean R.
