The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD has been out for nearly a week now, and many are experiencing the beauty of the story for the first time. Veteran Zelda gamers of course know that the epic 10-year-old game tells the origin story of the Master Sword and follows the journey of Link and Fi as they power up the Goddess Sword. The tale is one of the most emotionally moving in the franchise. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fi makes the briefest of cameos (actually, she only signals her presence via her iconic sound), but players won’t be faulted for tearing up.
In honor of the 10-year anniversary, along with the release of the remaster, content creator Ben Emberley has re-released his video production “A Vision of Fi,” which tracks the creation of the Master Sword and the presence of Fi throughout the Zelda timeline. Conducting with a Wind Waker baton and wearing a Zelda themed tie, Emberley guides the symphony orchestra through a medley of Zelda songs, supplemented by cut scenes from various games within the franchise. Be warned: you may shed a tear by the end!
