This past Friday, I was one of the lucky New Yorkers to attend The Symphony of the Goddesses: Second Quest! As an avid listener of Zelda music, and an attendee of the “First Quest,” I was elated to experience fully orchestrated performances of brand new medleys, as well as many favorites of last year’s performance.
