Shady Cicada | The Legend of Zelda - Main Theme (Metal Cover) || Shady Cicada @Shadycicada | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
It honestly baffles me how I never covered the main theme from my favorite video game series of all time. The Legend of Zelda has been with me since maybe Ocarina of Time. My dad and I played Super Smash Bros N64 and thought Link was cool, so we rented OoT. What came after were some of the best memories of my life. Running through Zelda with my dad and cousin, freaking out over all the scary enemies, and just getting emotional throughout the whole soundtrack. The fact that video games and music collided in such a way that I could turn it into a career really makes this cover even more sentimental. It might not be anything super special, but it felt really good to track this one. I hope you enjoy my metal cover of the Main Theme from The Legend of Zelda! Who would have thought I'd go from "green man with sword is pretty cool" to someone who lives off of zelda lore and theories. Wouldn't have it any other way.
