Details about the Zelda symphony in London have finally been announced and it is music to our ears.
When Nintendo announced during E3 that they would celebrate the Zelda franchise's 25th anniversary with a series of symphony performances around the world fans were delighted. After learning the details about the Tokyo and L.A. performances some time ago European fans have been eager to learn when it would be heading over here and now Nintendo has confirmed those details.
There are two dates to mark in your diary - October 25th for the concert and August 8th to book the tickets. The concert will take place at London's HMV Hammersmith Apollo and tickets will be available to book as of Monday from Ticketmaster or the official Zelda Symphony site. Prices start from �33.75 (with an additional booking fee) so make sure you save up those rupees! Speaking about the event Laurent Fischer, Managing Director of Marketing & PR for Nintendo Europe, said:
"The Legend of Zelda series is famous for its beautiful music and we are thrilled to celebrate 25 years of memorable soundtracks from this iconic series by letting a symphony orchestra bring this music to life. The symphony orchestra concert in London will allow fans from across Europe to come together and show their love for all things Zelda while enjoying a truly unique performance & experience."
When the L.A. performance was announced the official press release indicated that the show would go on tour around America next year but there is no mention of anything similar happening around Europe. Whether this has yet to be confirmed is unknown but this may be the only performance in London so make sure you get your tickets!
