Jazz band The Deku Trio is back for an encore in Zelda & Jazz II, an 18-track smooth jazz Legend of Zelda tribute album. Featuring intimate piano, upright bass, and mellow drums, The Deku Trio reimagines the music of The Legend of Zelda with influences ranging from lounging bossa nova to coffeehouse jazz.
Zelda & Jazz II features music from across The Legend of Zelda series. Highlights include Nintendo 64 classics Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time, GameCube releases Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker, hand-held titles Link’s Awakening and Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword for the Wii, and the Super Nintendo’s A Link to the Past. This wide-ranging tribute is topped off with artwork and character designs by comic and environmental artist Christian Benavides (League of Legends).
The brainchild of Rob Araujo (Chillhop) and Chris Davidson (GameChops), The Deku Trio features rich reharmonizations on piano, gentle drums, and lush upright basslines, with mixes by Curran Sinha in Los Angeles. The Deku Trio crafts an intimate smooth jazz tribute to the timeless Legend of Zelda series.
