Check Out this Amazing Link’s Awakening Hip-Hop Remix
Posted on December 29 2019 by John Piland
Remixes of Zelda tunes are about as common as an Octorok at Toronbo Shores, yet they all manage to carry their own unique take. This remix, dubbed “Hypervigilant Hero (Shores of Koholint)“, which samples a variety of sounds and melodies from Link’s Awakening and beyond, is no exception.
Combining elements of lo-fi, hip-hop, orchestra, and Nintendo of Japan’s marketing, this remix is as serenading as Marin’s singing. Chief Takinawa has done an amazing job here, so if you haven’t checked it out, please do so right now — you won’t regret it. You can also download the track right here.

John has been a Zelda fan for over 10 years now and is proud to say the series has had a major impact on his life (and wallet). After years of going to Zelda Dungeon for guides or the latest news on the series, John achieved their dream when they joined the writing team in 2019; John can hardly believe how long it’s been. A librarian, he loves meticulously arranging his library of Zelda games and collectibles. After what felt like an eternity of waiting for Tears of the Kingdom, John looks forward to the future of the Zelda franchise with enthusiasm, whether that’s the upcoming movie, a new spin-off/remake, or the next big game.
