New Link of Interest (6)

Zelda Reorchestrated is a project devoted to remaking all of the songs from the hit video game series "The Legend of Zelda" to sound like they were being played by live musicians.

"At Zelda Reorchestrated, we are committed to lush symphonic performances of the greatest songs from The Legend of Zelda™ as they would have sounded with the warm halls and intimate expression of a live philharmonic.

We do not seek profit or fame. We simply love Zelda and wish to share its inspiration on all of us with all of you."


As a video game fan (and Nintendo fan and Zelda fan) I think this is cool as hell. Check out the site and the music they've redone.

Other orchestrated classic video game music can be found all over the web. Here is a Super Metroid medley, performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra at the Orchestral Game Concert in 1994.
