The Team Players have recently come out with a short but sweet cover of the Outset Island theme from The Wind Waker.

Now, Rozen is working on something entirely different, switching sides to dedicate four…
I love Skyward Sword, but I’ve never been a fan of Fi. She had no idea what Link was going through; all she did was spout out useless statistics.

You know I love a good Zelda song cover, especially when it involves my favorite title in the series, Wind Waker. The Team Players have scratched that musical itch, featuring their latest cover of the Dragon Roost Island theme song. What’s interesting about their take on the amazing composition is the choice to blend the Spanish guitar with…
