Zelda Music in the Olympics

SetterwindAugust 2nd, 2012 by Setterwind

Only the most dedicated and disciplined people make their way to the Olympics. Who says that those people can’t also have great taste in video game music? Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas, who competes for Mexico in this year’s Olympics, used a medley of Zelda music during her qualifying floor routine. This would certainly put a bit of bounce in my step. Take the jump to see the routine video complete with great Zelda music!

Olympic gymnastics and Zelda do not usually appear in the same sentence. This makes it that much more exciting to find a gymnast who shows some love for the music. Gymnastics is one of the only Olympic events that I actually enjoy watching so I can only imagine actually being there in the audience and hearing the music start. I think I would have been a little bit hysterical. Do you think this music fits her routine? What Olympic event would you like to hear Zelda music during? Tell us in the comments!

    They should add a portion to horseback riding where the rider has to call their horse using Epona’s Song.

    Aside from her fumbles, she had a nice routine. I think it fit the music pretty well. Very nice!!

    Either she didn’t know that it was from Zelda and just liked it or is a fan of the game. It’s defiantly one of those
