Moblin Club, nice
- by Jim Norman
Pour yourself a strong beverage, grab your swankiest hat and get your clicking fingers ready because game music cover label GameChops has teamed up with the chilled-out jazz group The Deku Trio for another relaxing rendition of some of our favourite Zelda tunes.
Fittingly titled ‘Zelda & Jazz II‘, the latest album is a follow-up to the trio’s Ocarina of Time-focused project from earlier this year. This time, the band has gone all out, providing a bossa nova spin on 18 different tracks from across the Zelda series.
The tracklist includes obvious picks like the title theme and house motif, but fan-favourite numbers from Wind WakerMajora’s MaskLink’s Awakening and more also make an appearance. Yes, Spirit Tracks defenders, ‘Full Steam Ahead’ did make the cut.
