First thing I notice is the equalizing. Those snare-type percussions are a bit overpowering of the rest of the track. That synth brough in around 0:25 or so is so quiet, I can hardly hear it.
Next thing I notice is how repetitive the melody is. It's a very overdone buildup/breakdown pattern. Rather boring. Then I hear Link(?) scream around 1:52. Why? Why Link? Then it just starts up with an arpeggio-style piano melody. Oh, looky here. More of the kick-on-quarter, clap every other percussion. Boring. All the way up through the three minute mark is just repetition.
3:13 introduces that piano melody again. Slightly different, but same formula. Okay, now I like the background synth you brought in here. I do admit that. But then you ruin things by bringing in that percussion pattern from the beginning! NO! BAD! Otherwise, standard build up, breakdown into piano pattern, etc... what the hell? Terrible last note. You do a little pattern twice, pause a second, then hit a short bass piano note that isn't nearly in the range of the others.
Overall, it appears that you know how to use the software you're working with... but you have very little skill at composition. The structure of the song is incredibly formulaic, the percussion sounds like every generic trance/house song on the planet, and the piano melodies are little more than arpeggios. Add in the random Link scream and the random last note, and I think you need to take a music theory class.
I give this song a 4/10, with a five being a random, generic song of the same genre. With a few exceptions, the equalizing and effects are good, but compositionally, the song is well below average. With some studying, though, I'm sure you can do much better!
