For fantasy nerds, it’s hard to top The Legend of Zelda video game series and Lord of the Rings film trilogy. If that’s you, like it is me, then X user Seven will probably give you goosebumps with his cover of “Concerning Hobbits” in-game with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Watching young Link recreate the iconic song from The Fellowship of the Ring movie just works perfectly as a crossover (which you can see below).
That’s not the only song people are recreating in the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, though. On Reddit, a person posted the child Hylian playing the intro to Linkin Park’s “In the End.” Obviously, that might not be as complementary to the game’s setting as a Lord of the Rings tune, but it slaps nonetheless. And it’s probably more likely to get stuck in your head.
Meanwhile, it was a couple of months ago at this point, but that didn’t stop DaJaVo on Instagram from making a new rendition of Earth, Wind, & Fire’s “September” in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The content creator hinted that this was not easy to pull off, as they asked: “Guess how much practice this took.”
Probably the most hilarious and last cover we’ll spotlight is “Axel F” by Crazy Frog by Instagram user Joey T. Games (seen above). We just wish there was a way for Navi to add in a “bing, bing” in the remake.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time just launched last week on Switch 2, and it’s already helped Songbird Ocarina break a sales record for real-life ocarinas. That company’s manager, Eric Bernard, previously told GameSpot that the ocarina-playing in the remake is very accurate. The game also reinforces that Nintendo’s acquisition of Monolith Soft was one of its wisest moves almost two decades ago.
