@@burgesswaz interesting choice, but I also love the game more than most people. Motion control sword fighting was always really cool no matter how broken it could end up being. Fighting ghirihim (can’t spell) stalfos and demise always felt like a real sword fight. I’m glad to hear that this series reaches out to such a wide audience.

I love how Zelda reaches so many different age groups, I was 3 when I was introduced to Zelda series. My mum bought the n64 when it came out and got majoras mask + ocarina of time when they were released. Many years later my brother found it in storage and started playing and I started to watch him play. Been obsessed with the series ever since I love it so much, made so many friends bonding over these games. My favourite game is MM definitely. I think skyward sword or twilight princess are tied 2nd for me ❤

after almost 40 years. generations have passed. children are now adults. billions of people born, billions of people died. and we can always count on the boy with the soul of the hero and the princess with the blood of the goddess to repell and seal the darkness. the never ending cycle. the story that will never end. the story that you've heard, the story that your grandson and his grandson will hear. the story of reincarnated hatred and demise, yes. but also the story of hope, the story of wisdom, of power. a legend as old as time about the linking past and future, about the link between worlds. a legend about the twilight. about the wind. about awakening. about the breath of the wild. about tears, about masks and oracles. about a kingdom. a legend about courage the legend of zelda.

remarkable not only how well these pieces hold up but how perfectly they work in an orchestral setting

I am crying because the legend of Zelda means so much more than just my childhood, is way more than just a game or a story. Is a whole universe filled with terrifying things but link always finds the strength to just go through it. TLOZ has thought me so much. The music always make my body vibrate and get transported to a world that I can conquer. Zelda is not just my favorite franchise, it has been my everything for at least 15 years now. I will never get tired of listening the orchestral arrangements they release, I listen to them over and over because they bring me such a joy, such a feeling that nothing else causes. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINTENDO ❤

The Kakariko Village song will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like it is an iconic part of my childhood.

This live orchestra plays just perfectly, not a single mistake or misplaced note. They even go perfectly synched with the video. I wish this was longer.

I absolutely LOVED this, especially as a cellist. That being said, nothing is absolved from criticism. Some of these pieces just simply don't sound as good without the choir. The BOTW trailer theme that everyone loves, I just didn't get that sensation of goosebumps without the choir belting out vocals in the background. It sounded empty. There were pieces where the full orchestra worked perfectly, and I did get that sensation. My personal feeling is don't shortchange a piece if you're going to perform it. Go all out! I absolutely agree with you that I wish it was longer. Twilight Princess' music is so under-appreciated. I went to a Zelda candlelight concert, and TP was the one major Zelda game that was left out, which was so frustrating.

@@nahor88 yeah I agree some of the pieces just sounded empty. That being said, it was all good, it was just missing some of the crazy full sounding harmonies and blending of a billion different sounds in a beautiful whirlwind of chords and notes. Also I don’t think any Zelda music is necessarily under appreciated, however I am at awe that a Zelda concert left out twilight princess music.

The Legend of Zelda franchise has been something I've played throughout my entire life. My fondest memory was playing A Link to the Past with my grandfather. He was watching me play and noticed I was getting frustrated at a simple map puzzle that he had already figured out. He was in no way a gamer of any kind, but he was an incredibly intelligent man who decided to use this simple puzzle to teach his grandson how to read and utilize maps. Rest in peace George Sylvester, your wisdom will never be forgotten.

This isn't a competition and there's no place for that kind of vitriol on a thread like this, it's disrespectful and totally irrelevant.

I'm glad they did this. I got to go to the Symphony of the Goddesses the last year they toured. It was a great experience.
