Another year, another Zelda game hitting a major milestone. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link released this day 35 years ago! While the game itself was a large departure from the original, Akito Nakatsuka’s work on the Zelda II’s soundtrack might have some of the more memorable and catchy tunes in the whole series.
While this is far from my favorite Zelda game, I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite remixes from it. Again, we’re digging into files that I’ve transitioned from multiple different computers and hard drives over the years. Hell, some of these remixes are nearing 20 years old on their own!
The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the podcast.
The ROWYCO logo was designed by Melissa Diaz.
