Medli’s Melodies: Trial of the Tower

Now, it’s no secret that the Tower of the Gods is one of my all–time favorite Zelda dungeons, and one of the things that makes it so epic to me is the music that plays inside the structure. It’s grand enough as is, giving the overtone of a great challenge of wit and strength, but…

Medli’s Melodies: Song of Storms jazz cover

I have an intense relationship with the “Song of Storms.” It’s been one of my favorite Zelda tracks since I first learned the three-note melody while playing Ocarina of Time when it first came out. It was my ringtone as soon as I could make it so, and one of my most favorite shirts I…

Medli’s Melodies: Stone Tower Temple

Majora’s Mask is a haunting game, with an atmosphere and music to match, but for me, the music peaked when I went to the final area in Ikana. The music in the canyon itself was spooky, with the low musical tones, but when I reached Stone Tower Temple, that feeling changed from haunting to intriguing. The Stone…

Medli’s Melodies: Ciela’s journey

One thing I love about The Legend of Zelda is how it takes elements from its previous games and bring new life to it. Classic characters, locations, and songs always seem to make their way into future installments, bringing a sense of nostalgia and familiarity with whatever new world we’re set to explore. It’s no…

Medli’s Melodies: Song of Storms Remix

“Song of Storms” is already an amazing song, but the amount of remixing that composers and arrangers can do with the melody makes me adore it even more. The song is like a storm itself, with its potential for endless changes in velocity, intensity, and impact. This variety can be heard in Glitchxcity’s 2012 remix.…

Medli’s Melodies: Ballad of the Wind Fish guitar cover

Link’s Awakening turned 25 years old this past year, and Nintendo is celebrating by releasing a re-imagined version for the Switch. The game is beloved by many and considered a classic by fans for its charming story, gameplay, and of course, its music. “Ballad of the Wind Fish” is often regarded as the most famous track…

Medli’s Melodies: Hero of Lorule

I’m sure I’ve talked countless times about how Ravio is my favorite Zelda character, and there’s a lot of reasons for it. He’s funny, he’s clever, and most importantly, even though he sees himself as a coward, he still makes an effort to do the right thing. He knows Hilda is struggling, and even though…

Medli’s Melodies: The Gr8-bit Sea

Ahh, The Great Sea. Who doesn’t love its upbeat music? I actually have a running joke with some of my friends and family about this track: any time there’s a scene in a film or a game involving sailing of any kind (including Moana), we have to film it with “The Great Sea” music playing…

Medli’s Melodies: A magical reunion

The original scores created for Majora’s Mask were composed with the same care and passion as its predecessor, and while many of them, such as the “Song of Healing” and “Stone Tower Theme,” are widely celebrated, one track I feel goes a bit underappreciated is the theme of Tatl and Tael’s reunion.  Because of this,…
