Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo Speak at Zelda Symphony Concert in Tokyo

The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses – Master Quest is already in full swing as it continues its run through North America and Europe. On February 7th, the concert series visited Tokyo and a few special guests made appearances during the event. Zelda director Eiji Aonuma and Zelda composer Koji Kondo both spoke on stage, discussing the legacy of Zelda‘s music and Majora’s Mask 3D.

Nintendo has released footage from the event in Tokyo, featuring movements from the original Legend of Zelda and Majora’s Mask. The concert features a lot of Majora’s Mask music in honor of the recently released Majora’s Mask 3D, with music being accompanied by gameplay from the 3DS remake. In the video, Aonuma expressed his excitement of hearing the game’s music being brought to life by the orchestra.

Aonuma also appeared onstage during the event to briefly discuss the gaming philosophy behind Majora’s Mask and promote the new 3DS release. Kondo then joined Aonuma to share his thoughts on the orchestration of his classic music.

Aonuma has encouraged fans to visit a Symphony of the Goddesses concert as the series continues to tour in Europe and North America. Tickets are available for many of the events already, so visit the symphony’s website for the full schedule. I just bought my tickets for the show in Los Angeles, and I couldn’t be more excited.
