We know what you're thinking, and yes, we only recently highlighted a wonderful animation for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in the style of the Game Boy Color. But we're back with another find and this time it's a beautiful Game Boy interpretation of the main theme from the upcoming game.
Posted on YouTube by New Age Retro Hippie, the video showcases footage from the most recent trailer, but with a green Game Boy filter applied to it. The real star of the show, however, is the music itself. It works so well in that typical Game Boy style, and it's genuinely making us wish for a proper Tears of the Kingdom Game Boy game.

At the time of writing, there are exactly 3 weeks remaining until the launch of Tears of the Kingdom on May 12th, 2023. If you've not already done so, be sure to check out our guide on the best places to pre-order the sequel along with our breakdown of everything we know so far.
What do you make of this Game Boy interpretation of the TotK main theme? How hyped are you for the upcoming Switch game? Let us know.

Super peppy version! Would go great with the test visuals that other team did. :v

It's...beautiful!
and Nintendo will try to get this person arrested and pay them 10 million dollars for the rest of their lives
More importantly what’s the framerate? We need to know these things!!??!!
Love how it sounds and it's hilarious seeing those visuals in that style!
Everything sounds better in this oldschool format IMO.
The gameboy camera accompanying footage is a real nice touch on this already-stellar composition 🤌
“Honey, once you’ve made the sale, stop sellin”
You could MAYBE fit that entire video onto a single GB cart lol.
That actually sounds amazing!
I know it's asking for a lot, but it makes me miss the weird reversed sounds in the original.
