A Musical Visit To Hyrule Castle
February 25, 2011
Fans of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past love to praise the Overworld and Dark World themes, but I've always been partial to the theme from Hyrule Castle. It's steady beat and imposing instrumentation paint the royal seat of power as a place that means business full of forces with which to be reckoned. It's really a shame that Link spends so little time there in the grand scheme of things considering the impressiveness of the song. On the occasion of The Legend of Zelda's twenty-fifth anniversary, let's all take a few minutes to enjoy a striking arranged version of the tune. Here's "Hyrule Castle" from the 1994 Japanese album The Legend of Zelda Sound & Drama.
