Zelda Orchestra Event To Be Held at Nintendo Live 2023
Posted on August 02 2023 by John Piland
Nintendo Live 2023 is quickly approaching, and with it, the long-awaited return of an official Zelda concert.
Five years after the last Zelda concert in 2018, the franchise is returning to the stage for a few performances at the upcoming Nintendo Live event in Seattle, Washington from September 1st through September 4th. There will be a roughly 45 minute performance every day of the event, where fans can enjoy orchestrations inspired by the Legend of Zelda series set against “a fun visual presentation.”
Concerts will be at 11 AM Pacific Time on Friday, September 1st, Saturday, September 2nd, and Sunday, September 3rd, and at 10:30 AM Pacific Time on Monday, September 4th.
A Warp Pipe Pass is required to attend the concerts. Though registration for Nintendo Live 2023 has closed, Warp Pipe Passes, which are required for invited guests to attend certain events, are available free of charge. They are required for anyone seven years old and up, but parents and guardians may bring one accompanying child under the age of seven along with them. Registration for these passes will become available here, beginning August 3rd at 7 PM Pacific Time.
Among other events, there will also be a Super Mario concert at 1 PM Pacific Time Friday through Sunday, and at 12:30 PM Pacific Time on Monday. Warp Pipe Passes are required for these events. You can find more information right here.
It’s exciting to see a Zelda concert return after five long years. Many new soundtracks have sprung from the series since then, and it’d be great to hear some of those make their way into the show, especially a track or two from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Here’s to hoping these concerts tease a resurgence of Symphony of the Goddess.
Are you excited that Zelda is finally making its way back to the performance stage? How many performances will you go to if you plan to be at Nintendo Live 2023? What new or never orchestrated Zelda themes would you like to appear? Let us know in the comments below!

After what felt like an eternity of waiting for Tears of the Kingdom, John looks forward to the future of the Zelda franchise with enthusiasm, whether that’s the upcoming movie, a new spin-off/remake, or the next big game.
