Nintendo released the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in early November, much to the delight of fans everywhere. The game has been viewed by many as the superior version of the game, with outstanding upgrades in graphics and quality of life improvements to gameplay. And of course, the game presents a whole new generation of Zelda fans a chance to play the 1998 classic that was the entry point for many die-hard fans.
In celebration this occasion, musician Aaron Grubb has released a brand-new Zelda cover album called A Cinematic Tribute to The Ocarina of Time. Grubb is no stranger to music in the video game genre, particularly The Legend of Zelda. He has released quite a few albums celebrating music from across the many mainline games of the franchise.

Growing up, Grubb wasn’t allowed to have gaming systems; any games he played were on the family computer. Consequently, he discovered Nintendo and The Legend of Zelda later in life, but he distinctly remembers getting to play Ocarina of Time at a friends house and being “eternally interested in both Zelda and Nintendo” after that. Playing through the mainline Zelda games with his wife has been one of the joys of adulthood.
The album art for A Cinematic Tribute to The Ocarina of Time was created by Amber Finnegan (fossilizedsap on IG), which you can see below:
