The biggest surprise of Nintendo’s E3 2011 press conference came right at the beginning as a live orchestral was lifted into the Nokia Theater playing a beautiful rendition of the main theme from The Legend of Zelda. Yes, they opened their press conference by paying tribute to the music of the franchise, and followed with…
Feels like it’s been forever. Our apologies for skipping last week’s podcast, but we figured if we posted in the middle of E3 week that you’d be wondering why we weren’t talking about E3 (we record Sunday nights).
