Sit back and enjoy a warm cup of chill Zelda beats featuring violins, cello, flutes, ukulele and piano
in Hyrule Café 3.
Steeped in bold and organic flavors, Coffee Date pours a laid-back adventure through Hyrule with 14 timeless favorites and deep cut lo-fi remixes from The Legend of Zelda.
Coffee Date—real name Evelyn Rivera—is a violinist and composer known for her cozy takes on music from her favorite games. Using strings, piano, and her own voice, Hyrule Café 3 blends lofi beats and performance in a tribute to The Legend of Zelda series.
The tracklist covers unforgettable musical moments from the Nintendo Switch’s Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild, the Nintendo 64 masterpieces Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker for the GameCube, the Wii’s Skyward Sword, hand-held GameBoy adventure Link’s Awakening, and even the original 1986 title on the NES.
Coffee Date is joined in this endeavor by six collaborators from the video game music sphere. “The Great Sea” features a detailed mix and percussion from long-time collaborator and GameChops founder Dj Cutman.
Seasoned flutist, streamer, and performer Katie Shesko appears on “Kokiri Forest”, adding a breath of fresh air through her inclusions on alto flute and piccolo.
In “Tal Tal Heights”, Coffee Date throws the spotlight onto powerhouse talent Shea’s Violin, a multi-instrumentalist and jazz violinist known for her genre-defying arrangements of music from RPGs such as Chrono Trigger, the Octopath Traveler series, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
“Korok Forest” features the skills of Lofi Cody, a Canadian producer and founder of lofi label Humble Beats, blending his signature ear-candy rhythms and Coffee Date’s orchestral textures.
Pokémon community icon GlitchxCity makes an appearance in the breezy “Windfall Island”, with sparkling keys, kalimba, and strings.
“Astral Observatory” highlights the talent of composer and OverClocked ReMix staff member Emunator, where his trademark atmospheres and lush sound design shine.
