GameChops Releases New Lo-fi Album “Zelda Tape,” With Classics and Unexpected Surprises
Posted on September 17 2024 by Nicole Scott
Legendary videogame record label GameChops has another installment in its series of Zelda lo-fi albums to please your ears. “Zelda Tape” is a breezy yet immersive 10-track entry into its growing catalog of Zelda albums. It has some modern and classic favorites, but there are a few tracks on here that would surprise even the most seasoned lo-fi connoisseurs. Here’s the tracklist:
- “Riding Day” (from Breath of the Wild)
- “Dark World” (from A Link to the Past)
- “Korok Forest” (from Breath of the Wild)
- “Bamboo Island” (from Skyward Sword)
- “Mipha’s Theme” (from Breath of the Wild)
- “Deku Palace feat. Coffee Date” (from Majora’s Mask)
- “Tatl & Tael” (from Majora’s Mask)
- “Astral Observatory” (from Majora’s Mask)
- “Majora’s Wind Fish” (‘Ballad of the Wind Fish’ from Majora’s Mask)
- “Awaken the Wind Fish” (‘Ballad of the Wind Fish’ from Link’s Awakening)
Every track has the quality we’ve come to know and love from GameChops. “Riding Day” is a perfect opening track to ease you into the peaceful mindset lo-fi is so good at achieving. “Bamboo Island” was one of my favorite inclusions, with the resonant guitar dishing a dose of nostalgia I didn’t know I needed. The guitar production also works to make “Deku Palace feat. Coffee Date” shine, with a violin adding delightful finishing touches. Another winner was “Tatl & Tael.” It has a somber yet comforting atmosphere befitting some of our favorite fairy friends.
Support GameChops and producers DJ Cutman and helynt1 by giving “Zelda Tape” 20 minutes of your time on streaming services everywhere, including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal.
