After a short explanation of the current situation by the sage Rauru and the shock of seeing Link as an adult for the very first time, we are presented with the first of six medallions that will become symbols of success for the duration of the adult portion of the game. The first one is given as a token for reaching this milestone and it comes alongside the last of the recurrent acquisition fanfares.

As is standard fare for success fanfares, the main melody of the cue tends to ascend to a climax, but in similar fashion to the cue of the master sword, the piece has a descending bass contrasting with the melody.

As usual, the glockenspiel does rapid arpeggios to create expectation. Meanwhile, the descending chords of the piece point to the major Andalusian cadence which is one of the most recognizable motifs in The Legend of Zelda music, yet it surprises by going an extra whole step down, which extends the cadence, ending it on C instead of the normal cadence which would end on a D chord

The chords can be simplified to G-F-Eb-Db-C - G
(The Zelda cadence would be G-F-Eb-D-G)

Soon, Link will find the results of being absent from Hyrule for seven years, but before that, he will encounter a very special ally that will help him for the remainder of the adventure; as well as being his new music teacher.

What? But if it doesn't sound anything like the original track!
There are a couple of reasons that make it impossible to get a perfect conversion between the music from inside the game and the audio files. First, there is the fact that the audio inside the cartridge uses a music sequence format called Music Macro Language, a format that has additional information for the playing in-game; then there is the problem of reproducing the particular reverb effect that the N64 used–even the team behind the sound for the 3ds remake had trouble replicating the effect!– and third we have the audio compression that is absent here and helped to glue the instruments together, affecting the final mix.
