Aonuma discusses Zelda: A Link Between Worlds’ music

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a sequel to A Link to the Past in every sense of the word. There are plenty of new gameplay elements, of course. But the overworld is mostly the same, and producer Eiji Aonuma has confirmed that the title will include arrangements from the SNES title.

This is something that Aonuma talked about in the latest issue of ONM. He said:

“We will be using arrangements of music from A Link to the Past, since this is a sequel to that game, and we are also trying to make the music sound like it’s played on real instruments. People who know the original will definitely be able to tell and be happy about it, while newcomers will also be able to enjoy it.”
