The Legend of Zelda: A Mod to the Past



Local friend and video game nerd Richard Clinton (aka Thorkon, aka 8-Bit-Builder) is known for his original 8-bit-themed computer mods and cases. He's already been featured in Kotaku, Nintendo Power, Maximum PC, and CPU magazine with builds such as his Black Mage and Super Mushroom. For this mod he's decided to step it up 8-bits, and both being local video game artists he asked me to supply original 16-bit music for the video. So here it, 5:20 of original Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time instruments doing D&B remixes of some of my favorite themes from my favorite series, set to the making of the world's very first 3-D Link home computer.
