Nintendo has announced three The Legend of Zelda-themed orchestral concerts for Japan. Titled The Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018, these concerts will take place on November 22nd and December 14th in Tokyo and on November 25th in Osaka. The concerts will be centered around three instruments that have played key roles in past Zelda games: the ocarina (Ocarina of Time), harp (Skyward Sword) and accordion (Breath of the Wild). Tickets cost between 7,500 Yen for regular seats and 12,000 Yen for so-called “Master Seats”, which also include several Zelda-themed goodies.
The conductor for the concerts will be Taizo Takemoto, who served in the same role for the Majora’s Mask 3D concert in 2o15 and the Zelda 30th anniversary concert in 2016. The concerts in Tokyo will be performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, while the Osaka show will be performed by the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra.

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia is the next issue in the Legend of Zelda book series by Nintendo, following Hyrule Historia and Arts & Artifacts. Originally, it was slated for a release in the West on April 24th, 2018. However, it seems like it got pushed back a little. Several Amazon websites, including Amazon US, Amazon Germany, Amazon France and Amazon Spain now list the book as releasing on June 19th, 2018. A couple of sites like Amazon UK still have the original April release date, though it’s likely just a matter of time until they change it as well.
Similarly, the release date of the Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia Deluxe Edition, which contains Hyrule Historia, Arts & Artifacts and the Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia in special NES cartridge-themed sleeves, has also been pushed back to June 19.
