Who remembers the original fire temple music that Nintendo removed in later prints.

I had the original version. It was great. The censored version hurt the dungeon tbh

The Islamic-soundin chanting starts like 45secs in (thus why it was censored). I loved it as it was familiar to Easter Orthodox Church hymns and to my ears.

Existed in both gold and gray launch carts for the n64 and then removed in all later prints.

I've played it for a few hours and so far I'm really enjoying it. I think this is the perfect game to give to someone you want to introduce to gaming. It no longer looks and controls like ass and I think this game just teaches you the "language" of gaming perfectly. I can imagine after playing this you'll be much better equipped to play games that assume you have played stuff like this before.

It's not "Islamic-sounding", it's straight up taken from (I'm guessing samples of) Muslim prayers. I agree it sounds better than the revised version I can understand why they removed it, it puts real life religious references into their own fictional universe. Probably for outsiders it sounds all the same but as someone who has lived in the Middle East I can immediately tell this is taken from actual prayers.
 
I can’t really make out words. Ahh the time of poor audio samples. Like I said… it sounds familiar.

Hard to replace that’s for sure. Totally neutered the dungeon since. I’m curious to hear the new version.

Hell, I was surprised n64 carts even had voice samples at all.

RE2 on cart was like magic back then

To me it sounds like a sample taken from the Eid Takbeer (something Muslims recite while attending Sacrificial Feast and Ramadan Feast prayers) with some distortion added to it.
 
It’s an amazing game. It’s the greatest game of all time with the best graphics I’ve ever seen.

Along with FF Resonance being fantastic, we can clearly say that nostalgia isn’t the only thing fueling why these games are so highly regarded.

It's taken from Muslims but the the audio got manipulated so can't make up anything aside from "Akbar" = Bigger than. So it sounds gibberish to me as well as an Arab.
