Legend of Zelda Theme rendition

For those readers who like Legend of Zelda:

Legend of Zelda Theme

As a digression, while I frequently say that I don't really play the newer Zelda games much, I do consider myself a fan of the series, and like them as a whole; it's just that I only play every third or fourth when the gameplay or story aligns with my tastes. The series as a whole is one of my foundational roots in the realm of RPG type games!

Here's my foundational roots: Started with Ultima III and Temple of Apshai, on the Atari 130XE (or other Atari home computers), inspired by my older cousin Sean who was playing the original Apshai on a TRS-80 and one of the Ultima games (not sure which system, it was a different visit and definitely a different system. Probably Ultima 1 or 2 from what I recall seeing. Spent hours typing in the Roguelike game ARogue from Antic magazine, never did get it to work right (Man, I made so many typos!). Zelda was one of the three games the Walkups got with their NES, and the first RPG-like I played on any console. So the opening music in the link above really gets me, and the Zelda series as a whole has many shining examples of good games.
