"James's Soundtrack of the Week"

This week's entry:

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Famicom Version)

Two days ago was the 36th Anniversary of this game so I thought I would bring it into the spotlight for a bit! 

Zelda II is one of the first entries in the Zelda series and honestly, game design-wise, was decades ahead of its time. The concepts used in the creation of this game are actually shockingly similar to that of the game Dark Souls! But game design later, music now! 

Zelda II's soundtrack has quite a range to it! Certain pieces almost feel like they are being played by a band of minstrels. Other songs show the darker nature of the game's tone. The version I linked is actually the Famicom version of the soundtrack which actually is different from that of the NES, with the Famicom being able to have more layers of sounds due to hardware differences.

One major difference is that of the Battle Themes which are entirely different songs altogether
(If you'd like to listen to the NES version which is a lot more upbeat: NES Version) 

Some of my personal favs from the soundtrack are Overworld, the Palace themes, and especially the Great Palace themes!

Until Next Time!

One more thing! I want to shout out a composer named The Second Narrator on YouTube! He's currently going thru and creating orchestral arrangements of Zelda II's soundtrack! He's already finished the Title Theme, Overworld, and just last week posted the Battle Theme! I am linking the playlist of his arrangements below!
