Today I'm happy to share the largest, most ambitious video game music arrangement I've made to date: a big medley of classic tunes from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, woven together and orchestrated as though they're a Hollywood score for a blockbuster animated film!
It's been a long time coming, and a lot of work, with over 120 moving parts playing some rich, complicated music. But I'm extremely pleased with the result, especially since I got to collaborate with Rusty, my good friend and foremost Wind Waker appreciator, who provided the accordion part!
And now, I invite you to sit back, take the whole thing in, and imagine what kind of action might be happening on the big screen in a swashbuckler animated film about The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
