A Merry Hyrule Christmas
November 26, 2020
We’ve got a special holiday gift for our friends who celebrate Christmas! Today we’re pleased to release A Merry Hyrule Christmas, a festive album combining music from the Legend of Zelda franchise with traditional and beloved carols.
It may seem like a surprising combination at first glance, but arranger Eric Buchholz (of Hero of Time) noticed that the melodic hooks and harmonic progressions of Zelda songs are reminiscent of classic holiday tunes — and he set out to connect the two. The resulting album crosses between genres, from lighthearted tunes to more solemn carols. It’s Zelda music with a Christmas twist, and Christmas music with a Zelda twist. And it’s perfect to share during the holidays, whether the people you love play video games or not.
