YouTuber, Zelda fan, and musician Steven Morris released a new jazz-filled album Bossa de Hyrule on August 15.
Bossa de Hyrule is a beautiful tribute to The Legend of Zelda series through a set of five different bossa nova-styled songs. To help achieve the iconic sound of this salsa-inspired genre, Steven said he used a variety of instruments such as nylon string guitars, a fretless bass, an electric reed piano, a variety of Latin percussion, and a wind section. Altogether, the ensemble creates a beautiful and tropical vibe reminiscent of the “New Wave Bossa Nova” from Majora’s Mask.
The full tracklist of the album includes:
- “Ocarina of Time Title Screen” (Ocarina of Time)
- “Dragon Roost Island” (The Wind Waker)
- “Midna’s Lament” (Twilight Princess)
- “Dark World” (A Link to the Past)
- “Inside a House” (Link’s Awakening)
Beyond Bossa de Hyrule, Steven Morris has done many other video game covers on his YouTube page and has written for games such as Final Fantasy: Boogie Knights, Relax’N, Cries of the Planet, and more.
