Pour yourself a strong beverage, grab your swankiest hat and get your clicking fingers ready because game music cover label GameChops has teamed up with the chilled-out jazz group The Deku Trio for another relaxing rendition of some of our favourite Zelda tunes.
Fittingly titled 'Zelda & Jazz II', the latest album is a follow-up to the trio's Ocarina of Time-focused project from earlier this year. This time, the band has gone all out, providing a bossa nova spin on 18 different tracks from across the Zelda series.
The tracklist includes obvious picks like the title theme and house motif, but fan-favourite numbers from Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening and more also make an appearance. Yes, Spirit Tracks defenders, 'Full Steam Ahead' did make the cut.
You can find the album's full contents below:
01. The Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time)
02. Outset Island (The Wind Waker)
03. Mabe Village (Link’s Awakening)
04. Sword Search (Link’s Awakening)

06. Inside House (series)
07. Astral Observatory (Majora’s Mask)

Nice, will definitely give this (and the previous one) a listen when I have the time!
It's chill, but The Consouls are still king of Jazz-Zelda:

Been a while since I listened to GCs Chill albums so I need to check this out
Awesome! I have Zelda & Chill I-III on my playlist, I just have to add this one too
Listening to the music now: it’s so good. Great jazz chill vibe with sublime execution. Thanks for the recommendation.
@Bobb Do you have Zelda and Chill III?
A+ for the Fast Show tagline
This is lovely. Thanks for making my Monday a little bit brighter!
@PolitiClank I do! Legend of Lorule might be my favorite but I also like Mipha's Theme, Tears of the Kingdom and Talus theme
@Bobb My bad; I think I misread 3 as 2. 😄
@PolitiClank Got 2 as well. My favorite is The Legenday Hero by far
Finally, recognition! I love GameChops and their Zelda and Chill playlists are the best!
Very cool! I can dig this!
My 8-month old has been falling asleep to GC's "& Sleep" series for basically her whole life. Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy...
I had no idea that this was a popular channel!
Damn. I read that as Zelda 2 and jazz. Disappointed.
Zelda 2 had an underrated soundtrack
