Hello Music lovers,

Who else played The Legend of Zelda for the NES (Nintendo)? I sure did. In fact, my grandma was the one who got me interested in this classic video game franchise. Of course I eventually got more modern games and the thing that stood out the most besides a fun game was the soundtrack.

Really original cool melodies ran through each game, and as older video game blips and bloops go, are harder to replicate with real instruments. This guy in the video converted an old organ to act more like a synthesizer specifically for old school video games. Here's the Zelda theme song!

On a side note, today's links will take you to the EVTV1 page (search already filled in with this week's video!) Feel free to browse around and check out the other cool stuff on the site - I haven't even seen everything here, but there are a ton of great videos! Don't forget to vote for your favorites too!

Enjoy!

Pleasant Watching,
-Khalil

For the documentary, I'm in A Rock n Roll Band, they wanted to determine the very best rock band of all time. Guess who was the number 1 choice for drums?
