This multimedia presentation of Zelda gameplay and musical selections was executed to perfection and driven to a pair of encores by the magnitude of cheering fandom on hand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmppresents.com\/\">Jason Michael Paul Productions Inc.<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/\">Nintendo<\/a> co-produced this show as part of a larger international tour. In-game imagery of various Zelda title games was displayed on a large screen above a 90 piece symphony orchestra including musical talent local to Chicago. Elmhurst College\u2019s impressive choir set alternately chilling and inspiring vocal tones while the Zelda Symphony Orchestra, full of talented sections and soloists, filled the space with memorable selections, a few of which are embedded within this medley:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1278\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lXkX6XOzyGE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While many recognize \u201cThe Legend of Zelda\u201d as a ubiquitous video game title, others may not realize both the depth of its influence on the video game industry and the deep roots engendered by this long-standing franchise among gamers of all ages. It\u2019s fitting that Zelda\u2019s title begins with the phrase \u201cThe Legend of,\u201d as it is as prominent and enduring as its early Nintendo brethren such as Super Mario Brothers and Tetris.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, love for The Legend of Zelda universe runs so deeply that the game was considered among the first class of inductees to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldvideogamehalloffame.org\/\">World Video Game Hall of Fame<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen deciding which games deserve to be nominated and inducted, we looked at four key factors: icon status, longevity, geographical reach, and influence,\u201d said Jon-Paul Dyson, director of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museumofplay.org\/\">The Strong<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museumofplay.org\/about\/icheg\">International Center for the History of Electronic Games<\/a>, which created the Video Game Hall of Fame. \u201cThe Legend of Zelda stood out within all four of those factors and was the one that most provoked the <em>\u2018why didn\u2019t that make it in?\u2019 <\/em>response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While The Legend of Zelda did not make the first cut, it will almost certainly be included in future inductees due to its persistent fan base. In fact, this pervasive love for the Zelda franchise runs so rampant as to inspire cosplay&#8211;the creation and wearing of costumes as a fan homage to characters from creative works&#8211;that is present at nearly every gathering of things related to video games, comic books, or pop culture.
