This has always been my favourite overworld theme from the Zelda series for two reasons: firstly, the last 8 bars of it features a really cool chord progression that just screams 'epic adventure' to me compositionally. Secondly, I think this was probably the first open-world game that I personally owned myself. When the world opened up, the game felt absolutely massive! It's always going to have a special nostalgic place in my heart.
Incidentally, the NES Zelda overworld theme was one of the first tracks I covered when I hadn't been playing the EWI (or making videos) for very long. If you feel like seeing how far I've come in the last 5 years, here it is for comparison: • Legend of Zelda Theme ...
(This cover still ended up being way trickier than I expected!)
This track uses patches 15 and 21 of the onboard sounds of the Akai EWI 4000s. Audio editing done in Audacity.
I'm also intending to enter this piece in the 4th Pixel Mixers contest (tracks all feature a Metroidvania theme, and Zelda games have historically had even more Metroidvania tropes than Metroid or Castlevania!) details about the current Pixel Mixers competition can be found on the VGCovers subreddit: / vgcovers
