In a box of old video games, you find a dusty old cartridge. You don't remember the game at all, but the soundtrack is somehow familiar...

This album is an homage to the incredible soundtracks of the Legend of Zelda series, particularly the Nintendo 64 era (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask), composed by Kōji Kondō. 

This album also includes a series of original artwork created by Sam Herbers. Check out his work here: https://www.instagram.com/samherbers_props/

All songs written by Ed Herbers, except for "Private Fishing Spot," composed by Sam Herbers. All tracks produced in Renoise 3.3.2. Accordion, Ukulele, and Piano performed and recorded by Ed Herbers. Rhodes electric piano, organ, and clavinet performed and recorded by Sam Herbers. Environmental ambience from Mixxit.com. 

Thank you to all of the soundtrack composers whose work provided significant inspiration to my own development as a songwriter, including (but not limited to): Dan Hess (Pilotwings 64),Kōji Kondō (Legend of Zelda), Michael Land (Monkey Island), Christopher Larkin (Hollow Knight), Tim Larkin (Uru: Ages Beyond Myst), Ryan Miller (Myst),  Andrew Prahlow (Outer Wilds), and Rich Vreeland/Disasterpeace (Fez).
