Nintendo to Stream Zelda Orchestral Concert for Free

Published January 25, 2024

Nintendo is set to delight fans by streaming a special Zelda series orchestral concert for free. The event will feature a full orchestra performing music encompassing the entirety of the Zelda franchise, including pieces from the upcoming 'Tears of the Kingdom' game.

Zelda Orchestra Goes Live Online

Gamers and music lovers alike can mark their calendars for February 9, when the streamed performance will go live on Nintendo's YouTube channel at 8:00 am ET. This 30-minute concert is expected to traverse a journey through the musical landscapes of the beloved Zelda series.

The concert, which has been pre-recorded, reflects a change from the typical Japan-centered, sold-out events, expanding accessibility to audiences worldwide. This move opens up an opportunity for fans who normally wouldn't get the chance to experience such a show.

Music That Moves

An emotional highlight anticipated by many is the rendition of the updated score from 'Link's Awakening' on the Switch. The adaptation for the Face Shrine is noted for its profound transformation, especially considering the narrative implications of the dungeon's in-game storyline. The remade composition delicately interweaves themes of tragic realization and adventure's end, resonating with fans for its poignant delivery.

As the orchestral arrangements are set to take listeners on a nostalgic and immersive trip through the Zelda series, many are hoping to hear their personal favorites as well as newer compositions from 'Tears of the Kingdom'.
