o FULL CELTIC ZELDA ALBUM - Hyrule Highlands by Tim de Man, including Hyrule Castle, Hateno Village and Korok Forest from Breath of the Wild, Dragon Roost Island & more.
Hyrule Highlands - Celtic Zelda features 9 folky takes on fan-favourite Zelda tunes, picked from the recent Breath of the Wild back to the classic Ocarina of Time and in between. It pays homage to the storied musical history of the video game series in ways both epic and intimate.
A solo effort from multi-instrumentalist Tim de Man, Hyrule Highlands features live acoustic playing from real accordion, vocals, guitars, whistles, drums and piano - tastefully complemented with virtual strings and choir to create a lush and natural soundscape. From bombastic (Dragon Roost Island, Ballad of the Wind Fish) to haunting (Hyrule Castle) to intimate (Korok Forest, Stables/Lon Lon Ranch) to festive (Clock Town, Gerudo Valley), Hyrule Highlands covers a lot of emotional ground and makes for an engaging listen.
The Link sculpture on the album cover was made by Gijs van Kooten, a talented Dutch sculptor also responsible for the official Night in the Woods, Undertale and Nuclear Throne figurines.
