Yet another MSU that’s been ‘on the shelf’ for a couple of years – this was an MSU I started 2 years ago (!) and finally got around to finishing.
My motivation for finishing? Quite frankly it was thanks to Fearagent for organizing the “Zelda Draft” podcast, which featured me, AlaszunIRL, Fear, ph112358, and timp_ (co-host of the Go Mode Podcast) drafting a 3-team roster of the best Zelda games. Being invited to the podcast was a privilege, and the fun conversation we had lit that fire in me to go back and finish what I started.
Over the last couple of years I’d play the original MSU here and there, but for whatever reason it just never sounded right. The MSU felt too dark, and I wanted to incorporate more fun and lively tracks but could never get the right mix.
Luckily, we’ve also had a new Zelda game come out since then! Tears of the Kingdom provided a few extra tracks that helped me spread out the game-by-game tracks more evenly, in addition to adding in some amazing music. I also went back and re-listened to each of the OST’s and found some more lighthearted and fun tracks throughout… so when I also included the new ones from TOTK it all came together nicely.
It was super fun putting it together – overall I included tracks from 17 Zelda games/remakes and I am really happy with how it turned out, given there is music all the way from the original back in 1986 up until 2023’s TOTK. While there are no tracks from ALTTP, some future Zelda games included updated versions of each of ALTTPR’s familiar tracks and I made sure to include lots of them here.
Additionally, I included some alternates in the download as well, mainly from the tracks I cut for the original version the MSU. Given the PCMs were already created, it made sense to just include them as alternates for those that want to use them or include within a shuffler.
Nearly every Nintendo console is represented within the MSU and I hope I did musical justice to the series. And there’s one additional non-surprise since I’m giving it away – the ending staff roll track is also an amazing rendition of Zelda’s Main Theme from the 30th Anniversary Concert, conducted by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra! Inserting this performance to close it out felt like the perfect way to end each seed.
