While there have been other musical tours and concerts to celebrate The Legend of Zelda, it's the officially-sanctioned "Symphony of the Goddesses" tours that have been widely acclaimed, which began with the 25th Anniversary celebrations and even a CD with special edition copies of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Unsurprisingly, considering its successes, it's returning for a fresh tour in 2015, titled Master Quest. In addition to music previously performed — such as the four-movement symphony taking in the franchise's most iconic titles — there'll be new compositions and accompanying footage for 3DS titles The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Majora's Mask. Jason Michael Paul, President of Jason Michael Paul Productions — which is producing this tour in partnership with Nintendo — says the following in the press release.
The continued excitement around The Legend of Zelda franchise is amazing, and this special concert will deliver an unforgettable experience for fans. These performances transcend culture and geography and unite people through a common love for this venerable and legendary series.

Nothing near New York City... Oh well. We've had several already in the past.
Well this will be impressive.
there are nights in germany and france? i would love to go to one of those, but the timing is unlucky.
Why you no come to the Canadian Maritimes!? They go to the West coast, Half way between West coast and central, Central, and half way between central and East cost, but then SKIP OUT ON THE EAST COAST.
I'm sad, I might cry
Kind of wish that the London date is in the Royal Albert Hall. Wembley Arena will feel a little bit too modern for a Zelda symphony. The Final Fantasy concert plays in RAH pretty much every year, and the dated but grand setting really fits a fantasy series perfectly.
Man, Canada is just way too big with huge open spaces in between major population centers. I want to go to this, but five cities and five dates in Canada and the nearest one to me is about 650km away!
Milan... I was hoping for Turin. Pass.
Hilarious about the Canadian who complains about having to travel 650Km and then BensonUli says he's not willing to travel from Turin to Milan. Obviously Europeans have a different sense of what is too far to travel!
BTW I went to the one 3 years ago in London and it was really worth it, highly recommended.
Count me in for Austin, TX. Can't wait!
NASHVILLE?! Holy crap, I could go pick up my girlfriend along the way there! Yes, I plan on going!
Edit: oh wait... It's on a Thursday.. Darn you college!
@ikki5 I'm not sure why I still bother checking to see if events like this are headed to the maritimes. They never are!
@Nabecoat I know, it makes me annoyed. I was in Montreal once around a time when they were coming and was kicking myself because I went home the day of the concert and because of VIA Rail now, they don't run every day and I couldn't afford to stay in Montreal for a few extra days. I was so sad
Nice! I live in Montreal. I'll totally go again. The streetpass was madness.
Yesh! It's coming to Boston again. I'll have to drag my GF there for a late Valentine's.
Still nowhere near Chalreston, WV.
Love to go but about a day of straight driving or a few to Montreal or a dollar train ticket,plus hotels, even if it does fall on a weekend. Its not feasible. Oh well, hope everyone who can make it enjoys it.
I really, really, really want to go, but I don't even know for sure where I'll live next year around that time... and I'd probably have to travel around 400-500 km. And with those prices, that's quite a risk to take if I can't go. Decisions, decisions...
@kantaroo
It's Friday on the Milan schedule and I have work until 6 and I've got little kids plus a 2-hour drive/travel. not worth it.
Tickets for Wembley on sale on the 5th...Only 3 days to convince my wife that we NEED to go!
There's one in Toronto? Nice, though I'm not sure if I can go since I still need to buy my ticket for Anime North. Hopefully my mom will let me go to both.
YES ATLANTA I'M SAVED!!!
Wish they would come to Kansas City or St. Louis, but I am going to travel and make it to one of these U.S. shows!
@Espy Maybe next time when they get some tunes ready for Zelda Wii U.
I went to the show in VA. I may try to swing the GA one but it will be a little pricey. I was in tears the last time so it will be worth it to go again.
No Copenhagen :/
BOSTON! <3 Also, to anyone concerned about their area not being listed, they add new dates sometimes. Keep an eye on it!
Maybe the one in British Columbia (gotta renew that passport).
Monterrey, Mexico! just got my tickets!
YES! i am a HUUGE zelda fan and i unfortunately missed the last. i will 100% go to the london one and will be bringing that Majora's Mask pin (in the special edition) to it
When it comes to the UK, could we at least have it in a couple of places besides London?! My nearest would be Cardiff, or Birmingham at a push.
Ofc no Ireland again....
milan !!!
happy to go !
I wish they'd stuck with The Apollo for the London date, as mentioned above, Wembley Arena isn't the right setting for a symphony.
Darn... no where near Las Vegas. Even somewhere in California would've been fine. Not so sure I could convince my parents to take me to Texas.
Gee...I wonder why there's a four month gap between the Austin and Houston performances....
Perhaps this is a good sign for a certain game that's supposed to release next year?
Aww. Stockholm. Wouldn't be much of a flight (an hour)...I assume Ericson Globe used to be Globen...
Edit: The Official site says 6th April for the Stockholm concert and not 16th like the article...
I live in Mexico City so... OF COURSE I'LL GO. Getting my tickets later this month
TO ALL:
If you can find some way to go, I highly recommend it. I drove 7.5 hours to see it a couple years ago in Austin and it was definitely worth it. I will most certainly be doing what I can to go again next year.
I'd go if they played more venues
Stocholm is close enough, I'll be going.
If it really is 6th Apri, it's doggeypoopsiepoopsie since it's Easter Monday. I mean, I¨'ll be there more than that day and if Sweden is still Sweden, everything is closed
What a silly country...
Ohio to Tennessee isn't to bad. Chances are slim but maybe.
I'm 360 kilometers (225 miles) from Paris, so uuuuhm...I don't think so
Not coming to NC.....WHY.....
@FiveDigitLP
If fuel prices in Europe were as low as in the U.S., I might have considered going. This morning I fueled up my car for $6.75 a gallon....
Honolulu?! That's just a half hour plane flight away! I wonder... Yeah, probably not. Still, hope everyone who can has fun.
@Aqueous with you there. It's not quite as bad for me, but still costly.
Finally! A LOCAL performance! I might be able to make one of these!
No Australia
Buying our tickets ASAP. Can't wait! We went to the last one and it was an amazing experience. Already requested off at work. Hopefully we'll be able to get some swag next time.
@Vriess
Man, that does sound pretty bad. The prices are constantly going down right now. I think they're at $2.45 a gallon right now where I'm at (NE Oklahoma).
We need this in Las Vegas! Mandalay Bay would be an excellent venue.
Houston baby!!
Still no live for Cardiff. Why?
@Vriess
Ah yes, it's mad. Average here is 7.03usd/gallon for gasoline and diesel 6.53usd/gallon. I drive diesel and pay 600e/yr tax for that (while those using gasoline pay about 60e/yr).,
And there is no such a thing that going down. News that price will go up, they'll go up but do those get down ..?Oh no.
I guess I can consider this as me few days spring holiday and actually fly and stay couple nights. (I tried give hubby and option that we take ferry from Vaasa to Umeå and then train or soemthing to Stockholm but he wasn't happy about that difficult route )
Nothing listed for Australia
I was lucky enough to go to the London and Sydney concerts last time. The Tokyo one is tempting but the concert is a bit close to plan. Will just continue to enjoy the music while playing the games
Any Montrealers going to the Toronto concert cos they can't wait??
Yeah! I'll be going to the concert in Düsseldorf, anyone else?
I live in Monterrey so I won't miss this one hahaha
Just like the Pokemon Symphony Orchestra-never appearing where you need it!
