How does Legend of Zelda have such an awesome theme? I mean, even this guy, despite his best efforts, makes it sound good.

It really is one of the best videogame themes ever written. It’s almost enough to keep me loving the series all by itself. ;)

While screenshots, videos, and interviews only get a mention in the little “news get!” thing on the right…

That was a pretty amazing vid. The Zelda theme is probably the best game theme ever. (Mario and MegaMan 3 are close, but I think Zelda has ‘em beat.)

Weeeeiiirrrddddd!!!!!!! I like his freaky-ass facial expessions.

This is in no way a 5-man a cappella performance though. There are only 4 vocal parts, and the main theme is played by an instrument.

Actually, later in the video for some parts he adds a 5th voice… Just not the whole time.

I don’t know why some of you guys are hating on this. I think it sounds good, especially the violin, and the guy must’ve put a ton of work into this.
The guy on youtube who got EXTREMELY famous with this type of thing didn’t even write or sing his Star Wars tribute. I really don’t understand why he gets so much credit and 4 million views for lip singing and this guy gets 50k probably just because of the fact that is Zelda and gets no credit for the arrangement, playing the violin, singing it, and performing.
