Nintendo's The Legend Of Zelda Orchestra Concert Is Now Available To Watch For Free

It's actaully quite errie without the live audience. The Splatoon one is tomorrow. . . That one's gonna be even weirder without the glowsticks.

I was waiting for this! Can’t wait to watch it after work.

Zelda's Lullaby always manages to calm me down

Really great. Very well performed. Not to take away from their performance but i would have loved for them to add a choir like they did in Symphony of the goddess.

So wonderful 😍

Sadly it's on Youtube, they aren't known for their amazing sound quality. Or anything above "average".

Neat! I'll try to segue this in for listening at work.

I hope they have another live action concert tour at some point too.

Listening to this concert was like wrapping a soft fluffy blanket, fresh out of the dryer, around my cold dead soul.

Disappointed that it was only a half hour and that they didn't feature Majora's Mask, but I'll take what I can get, as it was near perfection. And no clapping or audience coughing - win win.

(But I mean, seriously... Featuring Skyward Sword over Majora's Mask!?!? Blasphemy!)

I visited a Zelda concert years ago. Amazing experience. Will watch this later.

@rainbowtick
Skyward sword was the first Zelda written for live instruments so naturally features at these events frequently. It was also the 'new' game when they started doing concert tours.
Majora's mask being missed off sucks but I'm not surprised given they only had half an hour.

@AJWolfTill

That does make sense. I guess I'm just biased in that Skyward Sword isn't a favorite of mine. 🤪

My background music for the day has been found!

That was a nice trip down memory lane.

@AJWolfTill Also it properly came to Switch rather than just being a NSO addition.

Sweet, will listen to this later during dinner, always liked hearing wonderful music while I'm eating good.^^

This music is so beautiful I want cry 😭❤️

Felt a tear in my eye listening to the Kokoriko theme, seeing myself playing as a kid with my brothers.
Arrangements are awesome, and the songs selection is perfect for the 30 mins format.
And for a Youtube video, quite the nice sound!

It was pretty cool as a whole! I am glad I set a reminder to catch it! There is nothing quite like reliving some of your favorite childhood Zelda songs, especially because of the emotions that can re-emerge.

Love this stuff. Shame they didn't do the Wind Waker or Twilight Princess medleys this time, but I guess they were focused on what's currently available. Hope we get one of those for Skyward Sword too at some point.

Have to admit I'm a little disappointed it's only 30 minutes and not a full concert suite, or at least an hour. But hey, it's free to watch so

Thank you for the free concert, Nintendo.

Wow, they are human.

I cannot wait to set aside some time to listen to this.

Why were they playing a video of another game on the screen during the Ocarina of Time section? And why were they bowing and acknowledging a non existent audience? And where were the audience?

@norwichred It’s explained at the beginning of the article. The original article on the cancellation/postponement of this event is also linked. Here is is again.

The bowing seems a strange thing to find fault with. At the very least there was an online audience, and given that this is meant to be a ‘live’ performance, it doesn’t seem unusual for it to contain all the usual formalities — bowing included.

@Maxz I wasn’t finding fault just asking a question.

The article said the concert had been postponed until today so I wasn’t quite sure what they were actually linking to as this was the concert the article said hadn’t happened yet.

I assumed by the lack of an audience it was a rehearsal.

I’m still confused.

Maybe it’s my age. It’s not important in the grand scheme of things.

Very nice concert 🙏. Props to Nintendo for arranging and airing this for free. Goosebumps when the original theme got the treatment it deserves at the end.

@norwichred Sorry for jumping to conclusions.

I can see there is room for confusion, as the way the article talks about the events doesn’t quite line up with the official branding.

In short: There was a big in-person event with tournaments and concerts scheduled to happen back in December. The in-person event was cancelled and the concerts were postponed to now (and performed without a present audience).

The article refers to the in-person event as ‘Nintendo Live’ and the concerts as just ‘concerts’. The official branding calls them both ‘Nintendo Live’.

Either way, all that happened was that the big event got cancelled and the concerts got postponed.

Watching now and loving it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Tried to convince my wife to play this at my funeral but she threatened me with making that event happen sooner than I wished.

@tseliot 😂😂

I saved the concert to watch at later time...
