Endings in The Legend of Zelda franchise are bittersweet. The adventure is over, but there is some satisfaction in defeating the evil that threatens Hyrule in each iteration of the Zelda series. Some of the best music in the franchise are actually pieces from the end credits, which is why today we are highlighting the endings in Zelda…
Sheik’s theme from Ocarina of Time is a great piece of music. As beautiful as it is, it’s not one we’ve featured very much here on Music Mondays. Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely and talented Adrisaurus, who creates original musical works, as well as covers of popular songs, including several from…
The Legend of Zelda is filled with so many wonderful pieces of music that we forget the songs that aren’t considered “mainstream” or “catchy”, but are fantastic in their own right. They linger in the background, forgotten. Here at Music Monday we strive to change that, so we present to you a piece you may…
After a bit of a hiatus, Music Monday is back, returning to provide you with some of the best Zelda music out there! With our return and the impending release of Hyrule Warriors in all territories, we’d like to celebrate with some of our favorite Zelda music of all time. Hyrule Warriors has been described as a celebration of the Zelda franchise,…
The forest has been an integral part of the Zelda series for a very long time. The Master Sword is found in the Lost Woods in A Link to the Past. Link hails from Kokiri Forest in Ocarina of Time, and almost every Zelda game has a forest-themed dungeon found within it. For today’s Music Monday, we are commemorating the part…
It’s summertime, so that means it’s time for some fun, unless of course you’re in the southern hemisphere in which case you could use pick-me-up to get you through the winter. This week’s Music Monday is all about fun. We hope these musical selections bring a smile to your face! Alex’s pick The music from the…
Zelda may be fun, but it certainly has its darker moments. Link is constantly ripped away from those he loves. Saying goodbye to Saria, seeing his baby sister get kidnapped, and pretty much the entirety of Majora’s Mask is terribly heartbreaking, but the tragedy is what drives the story and compels Link to begin his adventure. This…
Without relationships, The Legend of Zelda would be pretty much pointless. In Ocarina of Time, Link would have a hard time getting around if he didn’t have Epona, and where would he be without support from Saria? Link and Zelda are best friends (or perhaps something more) in Skyward Sword. Yeto the Yeti from Twilight Princess is desperate to help his…
Fathers are pivotal individuals in our lives. They help give birth to us, they guide us and provide us wisdom throughout our lives. We are using this Music Monday to celebrate Father’s Day and the influence these wonderful men have made on us throughout our lifespan. I know my own father actually played A Link to…
Today is Monday, and that means it’s time to spend some quality time with some Zelda music! With the Electronic Entertainment Expo quickly on the horizon, memories flood back to all the wonderful Legend of Zelda reveals there have been over the course of the expo’s history. Today for Music Monday, we are looking at some of…
The Oracle games are arguably two of the most underrated games in the entire Zelda series. While each game shined individually, it was the unique ability to continue your progress in the second game through a linked game which made the two games feel like one massive adventure. Oh, and both games featured some pretty…
Welcome to Music Monday! Zelda music is in the hearts and minds of us all, and Memorial Day can remind us of loss and the need for healing more than any other day; something I know Zelda music helps me with on a daily basis. All the soldiers who fought and even died in defense…
It’s almost summer for those of us in the northern hemisphere, and the ocean is calling. It’s time to hit the beach! This week, we’ve got some music that will put you in the summertime mood, so grab your sunglasses and a tropical drink and check out this week’s Music Monday. If you’re in the…
Since yesterday was Mother’s Day, we are honoring all the matronly figures in the Zelda world. They may not be Master Sword-wielding warriors, but they sure are heroes. Amanda’s picks Misplacing all of your children across two dimensions won’t grant you Mother of the Year. But then if I had 100 crying babies, I probably wouldn’t be able…
It’s a busy time of year. School is ending which means finals, end of year projects, and graduation plans for a lot of people. Others are getting everything squared away for summer vacation. Regardless of what you’re up to, it’s always good to take a moment and relax. This week we’ve picked a couple of…
