Let's Get Dressed Up and Listen to Some Nerd Music

“The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” concert series is a touring orchestral event that goes from city to city performing music from the complete Legend of Zelda collection, not unlike a gyspy caravan made up of level 20 Bard's with a +10 ability to entrance gamers.

The series enjoyed a successful first season last year so they're making another go, this time with new material to compliment the already diverse collection of themes culled from Zelda's 27 year history. The music, personally approved  by Nintendo sound director and Zelda franchise composer Koji Kondo, includes a four-movement symphony “recounting the classic storylines from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past” as well as other selected material, according to the press release.

This could also be a great time to get your significant other, who might not be into gaming, interested in the hobby you hold so dear. “Oh my! This is fantastic music!” they'll say as they sit there in haughty taughty decadence. Their breath heavy with the stench of five dollar port. And it's at that moment you can pull a copy of Wind Waker from your American Flag fanny pack and say “Well, my dear...may I interest you thusly!”

Yes, that's exactly how it will go down.
