Images from The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Concert Event

I attended the Zelda anniversary concert on Friday the 21st and thought I would share some pictures related to the event. Enjoy.
A poster near the entrance.
There were Zelda banners hanging in the lobby of the Pantages Theater.
We received really snazzy looking programs. Here’s the front page.
An open program.
Here’s the back page.
There was artwork of all the different Links in the program.

Oracle Link: “Really? I’m supposed to save Holodrum with this?”
OOT Adult Link: “I spy with my little Lens of Truth…”
There were stations set up to play demos of Skyward Sword throughout the lobby, and at least one area with 3DS systems set up to play Four Swords.

The place sure was crowded, and it seemed like everyone was clamoring to buy the t-shirts and posters they were selling in the lobby. 

I ended up buying a big poster of the artwork in the program.
There were two other posters available—one featured OOT Link and Sheik playing ocarina and lyre, and the other featured the Wind Waker cast, I believe.

As for the music, some stand-outs for me were the Dark World theme, The Lost Woods theme from A Link to the Past, the Hyrule Castle Theme, the Spirit Tracks theme, The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Medley in general, and The Wind Waker Symphonic Movement in general. Speaking of the Wind Waker Symphonic Movement, part of the awesomeness of this piece and a few of the others is that they were synched up with videos from the games. I should also mention the Great Fairy’s Fountain Theme because the two harps going back and forth with the melody created a really cool effect.

The concert covered a surprising number of songs in its arrangements. However, I didn’t hear anything from the handheld games before the DS, which was a bit of a shame.

  1. K I've been wondering in which game was that Link in corner (The native looking one)

  2. I’m not sure which corner you mean, but if you mean the top left corner one playing the drums, that’s Link wearing the Goron Mask from Majora’s Mask. If you mean the bottom left corner, that’s Wind Waker Link in his original outfit before he gets the green clothes. If you mean the portrait one at the top right, that’s Link’s transformation when wearing the Fierce Deity Mask in Majora’s Mask. Hope that helps!
