Eimear Noone was right when she said
Theirs a little Zelda
in the water in Texas!
Looking back, my first memory is about Zelda. I would scream
and beg my dad to let me play the first Zelda as I watched him play. He hands
me the controller and I’m emerged in the world of Zelda. I’d soon realize that
my father gave me a controller that was unplugged and let me think I was
playing while he played! I don’t remember much after that, but my love for The
Legend of Zelda started from that day on. I have gone through many phases in
life, but few things have remained with me the entire time. Zelda is one of
those things…

Saturday Nov, 3rd I had the opportunity to see
The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses in San Antonio, TX. Before
I go into the show I want to touch a little on the crowd and the fans I saw. It’s
a beautiful thing when you see generations of gamers in the same family
enjoying one event. Honestly how rare is that? At this event I saw a grown Link
(The best of the event) with his mother and she even had a Triforce necklace
on! Parent’s driving their children from Mexico to enjoy the event. Even the cutest child Link with his mom Zelda
so cute! It’s amazing, heartwarming, and reminds me how far gaming has come.
The Austin Symphony performed The Legend of Zelda music flawlessly.
Behind the chorus on stage is a huge screen that plays scenes from The Legend
of Zelda Games. A Prelude and four movements Ocarina of Time, The Wind
Waker, Twilight
Princess, and A Link to
the Past are make up the show. Eimear Noone is in top form. Whenever I see
her conduct she looks so graceful and fluid it’s beautiful! The show was so nostalgic
for me and so many other gamers in attendance. We all laughed happily seeing
family scenes on the screen and reliving times long since passed. The crowd was
a lot more alive compared to the Austin Date and it made the show feel so much
more personal. Eimear and Juston Moore looked right at home sharing stories
about their love for Zelda. A few encores where performed, but I won’t go any
further in to detail, I have to leave some of the adventure for you. I definitely think this should be a new
yearly tradition! I know it’s a lot to ask but a nerd can dream can’t he? I
only wish my daughter was old enough to enjoy the magic with me. If you get the
opportunity to see this magnificent performance don’t even think twice!
Eimear
Noone is the conductor of this event. I honestly feel Mrs. Noone is one of the
best conductors in the world. I feel she hasn’t even done her best work yet. One of the most kick ass parts of the Symphony
was here showing off her Wind Waker Baton. She briefly talked about the wind waker
being what started it all for her. The show was phenomenal and even better the 2nd
time. If given another opportunity to see this even I would in a heartbeat! I usually
don’t like to grade shows, but it’s not hard for this one
10/10
