Hey guys, as most of you know this will be my last "& chill" album. I think you can hear in the songs, that it was not easy to say goodbye, but it still feels like the right time. 4 years ago my first album was released and changed my life. I am still so thankful for this! It was mix of emotions working on this album, but I am very happy with the outcome. Of course I will not stop producing music in total. I am actually working on a lot of new, original songs on the go. This september I quit my apartement and sold nearly all of my stuff to travel the world, with two backpacks, my laptop, headphones and a mini keyboard. I am loving it so far and producing on the road actually works really well. Sadly, due to time differences I do not know if I will be able to watch the premiere with you, but hopefully I can. So again, thank you so much for your support, kind words and everything, this means the world to me. Enjoy! -Mikel

Through thick and thin, late night study sessions, and times when I just needed to relax, Zelda & Chill has been my lifeboat. Your music has helped and inspired millions, Mikel-and this final album is the perfect send-off to the trilogy. Good luck in whatever you pursue next ❤

The final entry in an amazing trilogy of playlists. These playlists have done wonders for me over the past 3 years I have known about them. Brought me so much comfort, nostalgia, and was there for me at times when I needed it most. I have spent countless hours playing this while I do ANYTHING in life, and it always makes it better. With Zelda being my favorite game series of all time, the feelings these playlists bring me are overwhelming. Thank you, so much! Mikel, Jokabi, and Helynt are a step above the rest!

Thanks to Mikel 😉 But thanks to GameChops for bringing us a lot of good music content too ! 🥳

been an amazing 4 year journey. This is a certified Homework classic.

I just want to comment on my personal experience with this album. I taught English in Korea for 2 years, and during those two years I used the zelda and chill albums as background music for the kids. They loved it and got a kick out of me dancing to the music. I got Breath of the Wild after leaving Korea, and being able to recognize so many of the songs from the game after the fact has been super cool. I've always been so impressed with the originality of the tracks and artwork. I also love that the original feeling of the songs is preserved despite being a lo-fi remix. Seeing that Zelda and Chill 3 was released literally made my day because it's a combination of both nostalgia and something new. Thank you for making these albums, we will cherish them!

Thank you for adding a spin on some of my most beloved music. Hard to play the games as much as I did as a kid, I feel like a lot of people my age (24) that played Zelda throughout the last 2 decades feel the same about these mixtapes because it adds a level of modern production that is to be desired. They say you don’t form meaningful memories playing video games. That may be true for the games that are released today, but every one of these songs takes me back to a Temple, getting a sword or just being overwhelmed by the seemingly endless worlds that these games portrayed. Timeless.

greatest of all time

This series has always been there for me. Through late night homework sessions to chillin with friends, through long car rides and reading. It uplifted me when I felt down, it motivated me when I wasn’t feeling like doing anything. It practically saved my grade and my mood. Thank you Mikel.

Thank you for all three of the beautiful Zelda and Chill albums you have given us, Mikel!

Such an awesome trilogy. Thankyou so much for making these remixes :)

It'll be so good as always Edit : It was really good

This series of covers has followed me through the past few years and have been an absolute treasure to have in my life. Thank you Mikel and GameChops for all the effort over these past years!!

Oh, this should be exciting! As a good aunt, I got my niece and nephews hooked on these while we all drew together many many different days. Looks like we will have a third to listen to with our art days. 😁 Can't wait.

Massive respect for making such a beautiful version of Tears of the Kingdom even before the game released properly

I love how Zelda and Chill I begins with the lofi mix of Fairy fountain, while Zelda and Chill III ends with the meldoy of fairy fountain. Perfect circle! Thank you very much for the amazing music!

I think that in terms of these soundtracks the 1st one would be power, it was the one that started it all with the "Zelda & Chill" series, a powerful moment indeed. The second one would be wisdom, because from the first one he learned how to put together a soundtrack of peoples' liking, this one, the final one, is courage, because I'm pretty sure it took a lot of courage to end it here. Thanks Mikel, for giving us the Triforce we love, God Bless and stay safe on your travels.

I think Hetsu's gift was developing future nostalgia for zelda games. The sheer amount of hours collecting those seeds may have hurt me psychologically, but it created a weird warmth when I listen to music like this.
