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!

Well, it’s that time of year again. I’ve got another batch of winter-y themed pieces for you to listen to. I thought for sure I’d start struggling to find some new ones, but it looks like I’ll be able to keep this going for a few more years. Anyway, even if it’s not really snowing where you are, hopefully these tracks put you there mentally so you can really get in the mood for the holiday.

Since this is a video game and video game adjacent music podcast, I thought I’d delve into a couple of chiptune artists I’ve grown pretty fond of in the last year and a half. With their second album, Time Goes On, Harvest (comprised of scythe and Kabayama) has shown they definitely work well together to make some really great music. I’ll be featuring some of my favorites from these two albums, as well as a few from each of their own individual albums.

You can check out Kabayama’s Bandcamp page and find their music, as well as both of Harvest’s albums. Scythe has his own Bandcamp page with a more than a few albums as well!

Following up on episode 82, here are some of my favorite remixes from A Link to the Past. Some of these, much like the remixes on the ROWYCO on The Legend of Zelda, I’ve had kicking around on various hard drives and devices over the last 20 years. Others are more recent remixes, or, at least recent to me as I’d only found them recently. Enjoy!
