The Game Awards are coming up this week, and in addition to world premieres - of which we're hoping there'll be some for Nintendo fans to enjoy - there'll be the actual giving of awards and some musical performances. Prior to now both CHVRCHES and deadmau5 have been confirmed, and now we have a Nintendo remix on the way.
It's confirmed that Music Producer and DJ Hardwell will be performing a remix from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the video below he names his choice as the Gerudo Valley theme, while even name-dropping the 3DS as his gaming system of choice while on the road touring.
It's not a surprising choice, in some respects, as it's a fast-paced theme that's ripe for a remix. Below you can listen to the original and also a rather popular Taylor Davis version.
We'll be live streaming and blogging The Game Awards on 3rd December at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern, which is 2am UK / 3am CET on 4th December. Yes, your humble writer will be live blogging at 2am his local time, and rather looks forward to some joking and insanity in the live chat.

The gerudo desert theme would best suit salsa dancing. to me it's always felt like a love theme, protagonist rushing desperately to find his lover, to stop them from making a terrible choice.
Yeah 9PM live blog. I'll be here.

This is my favourite rendition.

Personally I'd rather see classical music artists perform game music, luckily there are many artists impressions of classic Nintendo games music on Youtube. This just isn't my type of music, but I can see it being good publicity for Nintendo targeting a different audience which is focused on electronic music.
They should've gotten Cory Johnson to perform his Post Rock covers of Zelda music! It's awesome!

ANY remix of Gerudo Valley is utter beauty, so I'm very excited. Certainly be checking it out the morning after it airs!
mmmm.... I think it should be Zedd doing it, after all one of his first hits was The Legend of Zelda theme remix and is still part of his live shows.
Legend of Zelda Wii U information incoming?
Not too fond of electronic music but we'll see, Gerudo Valley is an amazing track after all.
@Xenocity Don't get your hopes up just because of this. It's probably Cranky Kong.
Wow i hope to be the first nintendo game remix hit for the upcoming summer. Also i don't deal with this music genre
@whodatninja He should be in the house.
The Gerudo Valley theme is my absolute favourite from all Zelda soundtracks!
@BlubBloob agreed. Dance music today is often so 1Dimensional. 2, at best. It doesn't offer the same kind of depth as other approaches. Oh well
And I was so hoping it would be somebody with talent....
