Late last year, arranger Rozen chronicled the mythology of The Legend of Zelda games through the music of the Sins of Hyrule album. Now almost half a year later, Rozen is following up with an orchestral companion album to further whet your musical whistle.
Ballads of Hyrule is a 15 track album that includes several fan-favorite tracks from across the series, such as “Song of Storms” and “Zelda’s Lullaby” from Ocarina of Time, “Ballad of the Windfish” from Link’s Awakening, “Outset Island” and “Dragon Roost Island” from Wind Waker, and “Kass’s Theme” from Breath of the Wild. Taking these memorable themes and more, the album puts a majestic spin on the music of The Legend of Zelda game series.
“Ballads of Hyrule is the spiritual antithesis to Sins of Hyrule. The goal is to draw you into the more contemplative side of the lands of Hyrule; a nocturnal walk that feeds on the gifts left by the three goddesses: Nayru, Farore and Din, captured in nature.” – Rozen, Album Producer
Ballads of Hyrule drops on May 1 in digital, CD and vinyl formats and is currently available for pre-order on Bandcamp. The vinyl release will be limited to 500 copies, so enthusiasts are encouraged to act soon after the album releases.
