As a massive fan of the music from Crypt of the NecroDancer and throughout the Zelda series, let me tell you: Cadence of Hyrule’s soundtrack is insanely on point. The music from both games blends together seamlessly in Danny Baranowsky’s brilliantly composed mashups (which I never knew how much I wanted), while the remixes from…
“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.…
The Symphony of the Goddesses live concert was one of the greatest musical experiences I’ve ever had. The music itself was fantastic, but it was not the only factor that made the night memorable. The people who attended, other fans of The Legend of Zelda, filled the atmosphere with laughter, joy, and unity, making the…
Cadence of Hyrule: The Crypt of the Necrodancer was a surprise on just about every level when it was announced back in March. Nintendo, who is historically VERY protective of its IP, let an indie developer have access to one of its most precious franchises. Recently, the developers at Brace Yourself Games discussed their upcoming…

If, like us, you love nothing more than getting in from a long, hard day of saving princesses, kicking off your iron boots, and chilling out to the sound of the Fairy Fountain theme, then there’s a record that could be right up your street. “Zelda & Chill” by German artist Mikel features a whole…

Get ready to rock and roll like a Goron with Materia Collective’s new album Helmarock: Zelda Metal Volume II. Following their 2017 album Octorock, this new EP takes music from multiple Zelda titles and gives it a metal treatment. “Transitioning Koji Kondo’s music to rock and roll feels like a very natural process – as I am huge…
Though The Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018 may have taken its final bow, fans can still experience it from home via the newly released 2-disc CD or CD/Blu-ray box set. Produced by Nippon Columbia, Ltd., the CD features all 13 songs recorded at the Japan-only concert of the same name that took place in December…
Kakariko Village is a reoccurring town found throughout Zelda lore. Generally a farming town, it’s a quiet and relaxing place to visit, play some games, do some side quests, and overall procrastinate from what really matters. Though the location has had a change in the theme song from time to time, this song has become…
Orchestral game music has been growing and growing over the past few years. If you’re like us and you’re a bit of a Zelda fan, you’re probably also a sucker for the good music that brings you straight into Kakariko Village or a Fairy Fountain. The Limited Edition 2018 Zelda Concert CD Collection is now…
This morning, the Japanese Legend of Zelda Twitter account shared details on the Legend of Zelda Concert 2018 album release, set for March 6, 2019. The album will be available in two editions: a standard edition that includes two CDs; and a limited edition that includes a metal plate, a Blu-ray recording of the concert, and a set of…
I was always that kid who had an extreme passion for video games and other geek culture, but would always get super shy and never mention it in public. I was always afraid that people would make fun of me, and yet I still always engrossed myself in it. I’d always be the one to…
“Zelda’s Lullaby” has always been my favorite Zelda song. Not only is its melody sweet and memorable, but it connects each game in a unique way. From A Link to the Past onwards, the theme for Princess Zelda has evolved along with each incarnation of the character, reflecting the game it portrays and the individual…
