As you may know, other than a Zelda fan, I’m also a musician. As such, I enjoy video game music in a deeper way. Of course, music from any Zelda game is no exception and is what I consider one of the greatest masterpieces in video game music history. This being said, I’m sure you can…
Christmas in the year 2000 is a time I will never forget. It’s the Christmas I obtained my favorite Zelda game Majora’s Mask. A lot of the game’s themes went right over my 9-year-old head, but I always had the feeling when I played it, what I was doing was much greater than anything I’d ever done in…
This might be cheating a little bit in two ways: one, this remix includes a theme from a game of a different franchise, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island; and two, this was made by me. It’s not that I’m trying to promote my work, but I just want to share this theme with everyone and…
Fans of Breath of the Wild‘s aural delights and ambient musical accompaniments will be excited to hear that a special 5-CD original soundtrack box set has been revealed — though as with all desirable things, it’s currently planned for a Japan-only release. Set for release on April 25, and coming in at just under $50…
The Symphony of Goddesses tour celebrates the magic of Zelda’s music by having an orchestra play live in front of die-hard Zelda fans. It’s a fantastic experience, and one that is well worth commemorating with the merchandise that is offered by the company. And now there’s even more of a reason to splurge thanks to their awesome sale! Sadly, some of the products…
The music in Gerudo areas always appeals to me. They’re so exotic and lively and effectively capture the Gerudo culture no matter what iteration it is. Although I was saddened that Gerudos didn’t physically appear in Twilight Princess, the desert was still a fun area to explore. And the music was — as usual — especially…
Everybody talks about Link and Zelda as “the greatest couple in Zelda history” or even in video game history but, at least in my opinion, there is no better example of true love than Anju & Kafei, from Majora’s Mask. While every character in Termina is relatable in some way, these two have the most human-like emotions a…
[Medli’s Melodies is a series in which we choose our favorite tracks from the Zelda franchise, or highlight a special piece of music from the perpetually creative fan community. Music has always such been such an integral component of Zelda games, and we’re here to celebrate that every week!] There are countless bosses and enemies in the Zelda…
“Saria’s Song” has been and always will be one of my favorite Zelda songs. It’s perky, upbeat nature and bouncing bass is always a pleasure to hear, and I always tear up a bit when I see it return to new games — even non-Zelda games, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and Nintendo Land! …
The hugely successful traveling Zelda orchestra tour may be winding to a close. Established in 2011 for the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, Symphony of the Goddesses has been delighting fans around the world in the sights and sounds of the Zelda series for five years. The tour spawned four incarnations, due to…
So I have a confession to make: I didn’t really explore different styles of music until I was around 16 or 17. A large part of my branching out had to do with the video game remix website OCRemix. While I was perusing their site for different music, I naturally explored games I loved or…

A Zelda fan and guitarist, John Tracy, recently shared a beautiful cover of the Gerudo Valley theme song played on a pair of acoustic guitars. This theme song has proven to be very popular among fans. This week, we ran a poll on Twitter asking fans to vote for their favorite of four Zelda songs. Over…
Those of you who have been in engrossed in Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle the last week or so will undoubtedly have heard the brilliant score concocted by Grant Kirkhope. He, of Banjo-Kazooie fame, put together a brilliant soundtrack in his inimitable style for the game, including some stellar reworkings of classic Mario tunes. Now, it seems the industry veteran is setting…
A few months back Eiji Aonuma revealed a surprising choice for his favourite song from the Legend of Zelda franchise. However there is typically not much debate around what would be the creepiest song in any Zelda game. The Song of Storms, and Guru-Guru (the weird Windmill guy), are well remembered for their memorable and slightly disturbing melody. But YouTube…
