Medli’s Melodies: A KicKass Smash remix

Breath of the Wild has some of the most relaxing, elegantly composed music of the entire series. “Kass’s Theme”, in particular, is a fan favorite. The solo accordion plays a captivating and exhilarating, yet somehow soothing tune that Breath of the Wild players have come to recognize far across Hyrule fields, mountaintops, swamps, and oceans.…

the silence of the redeads

Realm of Memories: The silence of the ReDeads

Everyone hates the ReDeads from Ocarina of Time, right? Those gangly, groaning bodies are beyond unsettling, and no iteration since Ocarina of Time has managed to replicate the horror of hearing their moans, their screams, and the paralysis as they edge towards you. Although I can quite comfortably cut them down now, I still find…

Medli’s Melodies: Pachelbel’s Ganon

I first discovered this remix by djpretzel, cleverly named “Pachelbel’s Ganon”, over 10 years ago, and when revisiting it I wondered if I’d still like it. As it turns out, I enjoy it a hundred times more. I’ve discovered an appreciation for the smooth melody that takes inspiration from the classic “Pachelbel’s Canon” and perfectly…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The Silent Princess

Although I personally feel that Breath of the Wild’s iteration of Zelda has some flaws, she’s one of my favorites in the series. It’s a shame that we didn’t get to see more of her elegant yet headstrong personality in the game, as throughout the series, she is too often relegated to the role of…

Medli’s Melodies: A Guardian approaches

Is there anything more anxiety-inducing than the piano theme of a Guardian approaching? The continuous heart-like beat and recurring piano really put you on high alert, and my mind now associates it with one of the most stressful enemies I’ve ever faced in a Zelda game. In fact, when I came across a remix of…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: On the road to Death Mountain

With its tumbling rocks, boiling heat, and difficult-to-scale passes, Death Mountain certainly lives up to its name. However, its inhabitants are truly what define it: the Gorons. While they’re not my favorite race (that’s firmly reserved for the Gerudo), I enjoy seeing their different iterations in each new Zelda game. They’re arguably the most fleshed…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The Deku Mask’s origin

When I played Majora’s Mask as a kid, I was mesmerised by how real the characters felt. They conveyed real, relatable fears, problems, and in particular feelings of loss and grief that everyone experiences at some point in their life. I grieved for Anju, mourned for Lulu, felt heartbroken for Darmani, and so many others.…
