The Zelda Symphony Orchestra Is A Link To A Musical Past

Kotaku AU

This is my first review for Kotaku. If I have my way, it’ll probably be my last.

Usually I summon every ounce of my imagined psychokinetic strength to will traffic lights green — this time I’m trying to make them stay red. I’m listening to The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Orchestra on CD and I wish this journey would never end.

The History Of The Greatest Game Ever Made

Kotaku AU

Expect More 3DS Re-Makes

Get ready for more Wii-Makes 3DS remakes as downloadable games for the eShop. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto says one can expect more games remade on the 3DS, like perhaps maybe, SNES game The Legends of Zelda: A Link to the Past? He doesn’t confirm it, but does sound keen. [via Edge]
