Eimear Noone’s Songs of Zelda album, A Link to the Celts, has recently reached its $30,000 kickstarter goal, and in only eight days, no less! There are still several days left until the kickstarter is closed, and you can still donate, so some sweet stretch goals have been announced. There are currently two goals listed, but more are said to be coming soon! Check out the goals after the jump!

TeraCMusic and michellheafy collaborated to create this gorgeous, soothing medley of three different Zelda songs. Tera Catallo (TeraCMusic) compiled the songs “The Temple of Time” from Ocarina of Time, “Aryll’s Theme” from The Wind Waker, and “Hilda’s Theme” from A Link Between Worlds…

YouTube musician, Bulby, has released this amazing remix of Zora’s Domain on steel pans using Logic Pro 9 and Indigisounds. This is definitely an impressive piece, and the addition of the steel pans really makes you feel like you’re in the tropics or on a white sand beach just enjoying the sounds of the ocean…

Topping Zelda fans’ wish lists is the Hero of Time’s signature instrument: the ocarina. Various dealers have made ocarinas of differing sizes, playability and quality to fulfill this demand, but few have the dedication of Caro, a skilled sculptor and major Zelda fan with a new kickstarter to craft elegant ocarinas out of precious metals like silver, bronze, and copper in varying sizes. Some are small enough to wear as jewelry and others are full-size replicas – all are fully playable. As a skilled musician and craftswoman, Caro’s goal is to craft the most musically and aesthetically pleasing instruments she can…

Just like the title says, this electronic Zelda remix is all about the bass. Combining various tracks from the entire Zelda franchise, YouTube channel nokbient has brilliantly put together and produced this mash-up of Zelda glory. This particular video is actually the second Zelda remix nokbient has created, the first one can be listened to here…

Love it or hate it, Skyward Sword did well in bringing the narrative aspects of the Zelda series to new levels. Between its placement as an origin story of sorts and the personal nature of the quest to rescue Zelda, the title’s plot did well to show some of the potential the series’ ongoing story has for expansion. Interestingly enough, one of the most fascinating characters introduced in this entry, the spirit of the Master Sword, Fi, seems to have failed to stand out as a companion…

Twilight Princess is the winner of the 2015 ZVS Best Zelda Game Tournament, and whether you like the game or hate it, there are plenty of good reasons for it to be loved by so many. One of those is the sassy, endearing companion Midna, who for many breathed life into a character role (Link’s companion) that is often annoying and overbearing…

One aspect of Ocarina of Time I have always appreciated is the music. It sets the perfect atmosphere in nearly every situation – be it frantic fights and opening a chest – to entering a hot desert or a lush forest. Unfortunately the game did not come with an orchestrated soundtrack, though that is completely forgivable for a 1998 release. Still, the music helped capture the imagination of gamers over multiple generations, as even today some of the very best pieces are still being reimagined in new and exciting ways by fans across the world. Today, we’re sharing with you the work of RebeccaETripp who put together a lengthy…
