Music has always been an essential part of The Legend of Zelda, and I’m sure we can all recall a brain worm that has got stuck in our heads. I feel the Dragon Roost Island theme from The Wind Waker has a lot to answer for in this regard! There is a whole back catalogue of calming songs that can soothe the soul such as the “Isle of Songs” from Skyward Sword. There are pieces of music that pull on our heart strings — “Midna’s Lament” from Twilight Princess to name but one. Other tunes can stir up the spirit of adventure or even paint a picture of an entire culture.

So for today’s Daily Debate, I’d like you to consider music from Link’s point of view. Imagine Link has the ability to play music on his Sheikah slate; what songs or style of music do you think would be on his playlist? Personally, I could imagine Link training to this rendition of the Song of Time & Song of Storms by Taylor Davis. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a tune from a Zelda game though. You could choose a motivational song that would give Link a boost before a tense boss battle, for example Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.

Do you think classical music might be the Hero of Time’s taste? Can you see Link as a Country fanboy or R&B fanatic? Perhaps he would prefer a bit of rock and roll? As always, leave your comments and suggestions for Link’s playlist below!
