Composer Aaron Grubb’s Latest Fan Album Reimagines Some of Zelda’s Greatest Hits!
Posted on March 25 2024 by Connor Butler
The music of the Zelda franchise is truly iconic. The majesty captured and atmosphere created in the notes of every piece are second to none. The music this franchise has to offer can often stand on its own, without the need of a game. That being said, though, there is no other place that perfectly encompasses the beauty of Zelda‘s music than the fan community. Dedicated fans have been creating mixes of the music since the franchise’s inception, and the quality seems to keep increasing.
Washington native, composer, photographer, and avid Zelda fan Aaron Grubb has just released the fourth volume of his Legend of Zelda Collection. Grubb’s Legend of Zelda Collection, Vol. 4 features some of Zelda‘s greatest hits arranged to fit the composer’s unique musical style. From a beautifully sweeping orchestral arrangement of “Serenade of Water” from Ocarina of Time, to a spaghetti western-style arrangement of “Hidden Village” from Twilight Princess, this latest volume has it all.
For lovers of Twilight Princess‘ musical deep cuts, this volume is for you. In addition to “Hidden Village,” the album also includes a beautiful rendition of “Malo Mart.” For fans of Majora’s Mask, the album features “Astral Observatory,” “Cremia’s Carraige,” “Goron Lullaby,” “Milk Bar,” and “Sonata of Awakening,” all arranged to perfection. For lovers of the classic Ocarina of Time, you can find the aforementioned “Serenade of Water,” “House Theme,” “Requiem of Spirit,” and a surprisingly gorgeous version of “Horse Race.”
You can find Aaron Grubb’s Legend of Zelda Collection, Vol. 4 wherever you stream your music, including YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, Deezer, and Pandora. And if you want to check out the other three volumes of Grubb’s Zelda collection, you can find links to them on his website here.
