Wonderful entry from an unique cover band. They just manage to make one of the most covered game music sound refreshing again.
Favorite track: Dark World (from “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past”).

Lots of epic phat brass sounds on this album! These are all really lovely arrangements although some do feel like they outstay their welcome a little. Keep making fantastic albums, guys!
Favorite track: Gerudo Valley (from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time").
The Game Brass are proud to present "Horns of Hyrule," a celebration of the 35th anniversary of "The Legend of Zelda" franchise.

Featuring fan-favorite themes from each console game in the Zelda series, "Horns of Hyrule" is sure to inspire the same spirit of fantasy, excitement, and adventure that has captivated audiences for generations.
