Have you ever wanted to listen to the music ofThe Legend of Zeldalive? Well, consider your wish granted. Nintendo has dropped the VOD forThe Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concertonto theirYouTubeafter canceling the originally Tokyo-exclusive performance at Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO.
Some of the tracks performed include Kakariko Village, The Ballad of the Goddess, and the main theme ofTears of the Kingdom. The orchestra beautifully showcases the series’ rich musical history through powerful renditions of the beloved classics. At a runtime of almost a half hour, it’ll make for a pretty nice trip down memory lane if you’re up for that adventure.
Also posted were statues of theTears of the Kingdom‘s versions of Zelda, Link, andour no.1 hottie(according to Zoey Handley), Ganondorf.
The concert was originally planned for Nintendo Live TOKYO in January. Nintendo canceled the event afterreceiving threats targeting the audience and workers.
In addition to the Zelda concert, Nintendo also heldaSplatoon 3-themed concertthe morning of February 10.
Musically Inclined
Whether you likeThe Legend of Zeldaor not, you have to agree the music is amazing. Whether it’s the classic Koji Kondo tracks or the newer Manaka Kataoka compositions, allZeldamusic is downright memorable. So, to be able to have a whole concert dedicated to it and done live is pretty awesome.
Watching the concert made me realize something: I really want to see it live. The closest I got to that was Lindsey Stirling with herZeldamelodyyears ago. And, as someone who’s watched the trailers forTears of the KingdomandBreath of the Windmultiple times for the songs, I’d pay good money. I feel the same way aboutFinal FantasyandSonic, as all of them have amazing orchestral tracks that’d be amazing to see live. So, Nintendo, maybe you could plan a national tour or something? Fine, I’ll just play my ocarina in private.
