Gaming Zelda Fans Come Hither...

How does it sound? I was just reading the FAQ and it's not a real orchestra. "We've formed our own unique style of blending live musicians with sampled elements to give our tracks a greater sense of realistic quality. Much of the choir in the album has been recorded live, along with over 100 other live elements recorded by our instrumental soloists."

I found this site: http://www.zreomusic.com/listen I sampled a few tracks. It's pretty good and I like the variety of tracks that they have. The wind in the background of their Gerudo Valley mix is a nice touch. I don't know. It's hard to beat a real orchestra. Man, I miss the Zelda Symphony of the Goddess tour. I want to see/hear it again live! I see that they will be in Oregon in March. I hope they come back to PA. I wish Nintendo would make a CD, but I read somewhere (maybe here) that they are just a gaming company. They need to partner with someone!

 

You guys are going to make me go out and purchase this dammit. Too bad I missed the physical and artwork.

I'm waiting for it to turn up on iTunes but I've got a funny feeling that it might not be available outside the US region which would be a shame. Still need further info.

On the other hand, I have secured a copy of Hyrule Historia and be arriving at the end of the month and to bring in the start of February, I'll be at the Symphony of the Goddess. We need more Zelda! Might do another run through Skyward Sword.

 

The one I'm getting is the standard version. I just checked out on the Darkhorse site for the Collector's edition and doesn't really give much details apart from the hardback cover itself...Amazon is pretty much the same too though read that there were some cases where some people's order for the collector's edition were cancelled and makes me wonder if it has been sold out already. It would be nice to know what the differences are between the two editions.

EDIT: According to Nintendo-Gamer... the content remains the same, it's just the presentation that is different. If that is the case then I'm happy with what I've ordered. Also looks like Australia will be getting it on the 24th, a few days before the US.

 

It may be a Deviantart fan comic, but this gave me chills:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I especially like how the art style is somewhat reminiscent of the official art of the first NES Zelda game (i.e. the instruction manual).

 

Aww, that is very sweet.

 

That is sweet... and she sings the Ballad of the Goddess...

Now I want to go back and play Skyward Sword again!

 

Anyone have Hyrule Historia pre-ordered from Amazon like me? It's listed as Hardcover now which is pretty cool.

 

The Wind Waker: Reborn and hints of the next Zelda title.



I think there be a lot of happy Zelda fans with that news, I wonder if TWW:R would have the content/locations that didn't make it in the original and more. With the next Zelda title for the Wii U, it sounds to me like they are trying to go back to the original Legend of Zelda game where there was no set direction/order about where to go and which dungeons to complete to progress.

 

I didn't mind the sailing so much. Maybe if they did it so that the boat sails more faster with the wind to make it a bit more quicker to get where you are going. I don't see them doing a complete overall of the sailing mechanics.

 

Ah... the gamepad screen can act as the Tingle Tuner! Forgot about that feature. I remember doing that with the original model GBA back in the day, it was annoying when the batteries ran out. I remember collecting all of the figures for that island too.
