Nintendo To Broadcast The Legend Of Zelda Orchestra Concert For Free

Awesome! But why?…..

hype intensifies

I might give it a shot. Twilight Princess was the first mainline Zelda game I ever played. On the Wii too.

I don't ever wanna play it again, but it would be nice to hear some families music.

Live Zelda music is a mandatory event. Non negotiable. We will be there.

@Friendly Nintendo Live Tokyo 2024 was going to happen last weekend. It got cancelled so the concerts (Zelda and Splatoon) got postponed.

Will have to see. I have seen three of the shows live and it was a treat. Always happy to listen to the new lineup.

I will probably end up watching it to be honest. I always enjoy orchestrated Zelda music.

Very common Nintendo W

9th of Feb, wasn't it around then that people were predicting the first Nintendo Direct of the year? Could we be getting more Zelda remasters on the way to the Switch to go along with this?

Bit off topic but I wish the new Zelda games were more music focused like ocarina,mm and wind waker. I feel like the franchise has lost its charm in this regard. I know there’s some good tunes in botw and totk but you have to go looking for them.

Wow sooooo generous of them lmao.

@Baler Might be awhile for that. Eventually all ideas circle back to one. Botw is that one those cases. Im sure one day when the new formula gets stale, Nintendo will circle back once more.

For now, given how WW, TP, and SS exist in a weird space; Sacrificing what was typical in exchange for revitalization had to be done.

I went a few years back to see the live Zelda music played by an orchestra with bits of the games showing on the big screen. I had a great time, the selection of tracks was really good and the arrangements as well. Looking forward to this. 5 am PT is actually 14h here, so very handy!

More importantly, the day after is the Deep Cut concert.

Yes, I am saying that Splatoon music is better than Zelda music.

I'll have to watch/listen after the fact. I'm usually gearing up for work by then.

This makes me wish the Symphony of the Goddesses live orchestra performances were still around. I made it to one of the concerts in November 2016 and loved every moment of it.

A pre-recorded concert is being broadcast on NOA YouTube early on a Friday morning?
Are they aiming for a particular audience?

@Rambler Of course. Who doesn't wake up on a work day in the early hours, and go hmm "I think I'll watch a concert right about now"

Okay, i’m excited but why so damn early? At first I thought it made sense if the concert was happening in Japan, but it’s pre-recorded. Why not release it at a time that more people can experience it together?

It's dangerous to go alone, listen to this! <3

Right when most people are at work/school. Thanks again timezones, you make the life of zelda fans so fun

I wont be able to watch it live but I will watch the recording after! this is cool! Zelda music is so fantastic!

Nintendo is going to copyright strike Nintendo for using Zelda music without their permission. SMH.

Presumably it's going to be available afterwards too. Because lunchtime on a Friday in the UK is pretty dumb.

I can't wait. Its not the Zelda goddess symphony tour but looking forward to this.

@Tyranexx did you get a windwaker conductor’s baton? I have one sealed hanging on my wall in my game room. Emailed the conductor (I don’t usually reach out to performers) from the first tour to thank her for her humor (and she responded) made my day.

I remember one show I went to and I had front row seats and one of the cellists was so excited because her playing the tour made her “Grandma of the century” to her grandkids.

Well this is exciting.

@Ryu_Niiyama I did grab a Wind Waker baton! Mine is also still sealed. I attended one of the later concert tours that incorporated some newer tracks from A Link Between Worlds and Tri Force Heroes. I wasn't the most financially able at the time and was very happy I could afford to go (this included hotel and travel). My mom and I went together and made it into a fun weekend.

I would've loved to see that cellist's performance energy. She would've earned cool grandma points from me too! I'm sure I would've also appreciated that conductor's humor.

@Baler Yeah, the article assumes that the new games will be the focus, but there honestly isn't much music to pull from. It's really more medleys and outside of the main theme, I don't remember any of it except the piano intensifying near guardians.

Truly sad that death threats forced online only participations now. Having a live in person Nintendo Direct is always the best way to showcase upcoming Nintendo hardware and games and other related Nintendo showcase.

Best viewed from a box seat while snootily using a lorgnette.

No idea what that is in Dutch people time, but will watch later

@Baler

I just noticed your comment, and couldn't agree more.

I can hum a tune from just about every Zelda game save for those from WiiU and on (give or take).

They went from magical melodies to mundane musak. Good still, of course, just lacks heart and soul, if you will.

@rainbowtick exactly. In botw and totk I find myself going back to hetano village a lot not because there’s anything to do but I just love the tune but when I think about ocarina of time for example everywhere you go in that game the music is stand out and plus you have the ocarina to mess around with which added to that I even loved messing around with the wand in the wind waker. Obviously majoras mask was huge on music as well with all the different instruments you can play I just miss it.

@Baler

I totally understand! When I got to Dragonhead Island in TotK, I stopped dead in my tracks. I was in awe by this hauntingly, magical melody. One of the few like it in the game. Not humable, but truly something, more. I walked around and around just listening.

And going back in the series, I would spend so much time in Majora's Mask just waking around in the Astral Observatory for no other reason than because the music was so dang good.

This is why, I would guess, you don't see any new Zelda remixes on OCRemix... Because there's nothing to remix anymore. 😮‍💨😭
