Recently, I have been learning to become a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons, and one of the things that help me most when I’m trying to think of ideas is music — more specifically, Zelda music. I’ve been listening to a lot of the dungeon themes from The Legend of Zelda to get my mindset…
Happy Monday everyone! The upcoming news of Breath of the Wild has caused me to reflect on previous games. Ocarina of Time is one of my favorite Zelda titles of all time and the music has always touched my heart in many ways. I remember playing Ocarina of Time on my 3DS multiple times just so I could listen…
So we’re getting pretty amped for the release of the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild over here at Zelda Universe, and speaking of getting amped up, this rock cover of the trailer theme should be turned up to 11! The song maintains the over-arching epic feel, inspiring thoughts of high drama, deadly battles…
Time is ticking ever closer to the official release of the newest installment of The Legend of Zelda, and a whole fandom holds its collective breath in anticipation. For some (like me!), the excitement is becoming too much to bear and have taken to submerging themselves in as many sights and sounds of Breath of the…
The Legend of Zelda franchise has some great overworld themes that inspire players to battle and explore through the vast lands. Spirit Tracks was no different in this regard, and features some fantastic instrumental arrangements that give the impression that you’re travelling across New Hyrule on Link’s train. Youtube user insaneintherainmusic has created this amazing…
Happy Monday, everyone! There have been so many exciting developments and sneak peeks released for Breath of the Wild, and I find myself blown away by the new world Nintendo is creating.

Linebeck, as well as being one of my all time favorite Zelda characters, also has one of my favorite theme songs, and YouTube’s 72HoursRemaining made an amazing guitar-only cover of this song! Though I usually cover more orchestral covers in my articles, I really have to say I am impressed by these two guitarists. They…
Firstly, let me welcome you to the first Music Monday column of 2017! Hopefully everyone had a great new year celebration and any readers who indulged a little too heavily are back to feeling their best! I’m opening my account for the year with a really enjoyable arrangement and a performance that perfectly matches the…
The Game Awards were held earlier this month over a YouTube livestream, and Breath of the Wild won the “Most Anticipated Game” category for 2016. But the best part about that night was that Nintendo released new footage of the Zelda game during this stream, and revealed another composition off the official soundtrack called “Life in the…
If you ever wondered what a soundtrack for a Skyward Sword film would sound like, Rozen’s cover, “May we meet again” is exactly what you’re looking for. “Fi’s theme” is a gorgeous theme in itself, so to have such an amazing orchestration is a privilege to listen to. The title, referencing one of the most…
Friday was the fifth anniversary of Skyward Sword, and I’ve been celebrating ever since by breaking out my Wii and exploring the Zelda universe as Link. There is no better way to cure the Monday blues than to listen to the Skyward Sword soundtrack and imagine that you are in a completely different world. One…
I have done an article before concerning the musical work of RebeccaETripp, and here I am again talking about another piece of her work. Why? Because it is just that pleasant for me to listen to, and I can not go without sharing such a delight such as her “Celtic/Medieval Town Theme Medley”. Throughout the…
Whilst easily being the darkest installment of the franchise, Majora’s Mask still has its fair share of light-hearted moments, and an equally enjoyable soundtrack to underscore them. The Deku Palace theme song is by-and-away one of my favourite songs from the game; for me, it’s an example of a song perfectly encapsulating the theme of…
Welcome fellow ghouls and gals! Abandon hope all ye who enter, as Zelda Universe invites you to a week long celebration of scares. Journey with me through the realm of shadows for a devilishly disturbing melody to haunt your dreams on this all hallows eve. Listen…If you dare.
