I am surprised to see that there are no topics for this. It's pretty old news... old old news. Anyways, there's this Opera in delevopment of Kafei's point of view, and Link doesn't visit Termina. This is a quote from the official website. NOTE: THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY NINTENDO...YET.
Imagine there are only three days left to live, as the moon is on a course of collision with the world.
Imagine there is a young man who, among all the people who either ignore the incoming doom, refuse to believe it or are sadly resigned to it, has promised to marry the love of his life.
Imagine his unique symbol of their union, like our wedding rings, is gone, stolen.
Imagine he is determined to get it back and get married, regardless of the world’s fate.
These are elements from the game The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, by Nintendo, released in 2000.
Majora’s Mask is a game full of depth. The strangeness of the setting, the urgency of the plot and the troubles of the characters are very fitting for stage. Koji Kondo‘s and Toru Minegishi‘s themes are brilliant works of discrete genius which can be developed all over a narrative, making this a celebration of every aspect of the game’s story and music.
This is not made only for Zelda fans. Majora’s Mask’s story is self-contained, and the opera is written in a way that everyone, Zelda fan or not, gamer or not, can enjoy.
“Why not?” was the first question that came to my mind upon the 25th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda and when I noticed the enthusiasm around the Zelda Symphony Orchestra. As a musician and a Zelda fan, it struck me that a professionally-built rendition of the drama of Majora’s Mask, properly adapted to avoid dispersion, could work very well. After organizing my thoughts, I took them to the fan communities, which showed a mix of enthusiasm and suspicion over the idea.
Work started on the opera, and upon the release of the first demo, I realized most of the suspicion had vanished, as the community needed more than just a few instrumental samples.
I invite all fans of Zelda and music alike to help promote this project on the surreal tale of a parallel world which got to the point of no return.
Anyways, I've been following this for a LONG time, since March last year or the year before, I forget. There have been several demo's, each having some pros and cons. Here are all 6 (so far):
Feel free to learn more from the website. I think it looks okay. Sometimes, great. Definitely interesting. What do you think about it? (Also, sorry if I posted this in the wrong area. I put it in media under film as you didn't have a play section. I thought about putting this under video games, but I wasn't sure. Feel free to move it.)
