Fans and collectors should love this.
Game music label GameChops is thrilled to release Zelda Classics by the Sixth Station Trio, an elegant classical tribute to the iconic themes of The Legend of Zelda. Featuring 16 arrangements for piano, cello, and violin, each reinterpretation leans into emotion and storytelling. The Sixth Station Trio’s sound evokes classical recital halls and film scores alike; balancing softness and power while allowing each melody room to breathe. From the nostalgic lift of “Breath of the Wild” to the romantic swell of “Rito Village” and the dreamlike calm of “Zelda’s Lullaby,” each arrangement transforms familiar melodies into intimate, cinematic performances.
The team is also excited to share a video presentation of the entire album linked above to get an up-close look at the artistry behind the music. Zelda Classics can be pre-ordered on vinyl (shipping October 2026) and is available digitally today:

“Zelda Classics is our way of bridging our passion for videogame music with our passion for classical music,” comments the trio’s pianist, Katelyn Tan, “We want to encourage more people to get into classical music, and we hope blending chamber music with videogame music allows listeners to hear their favorite tunes done in a classical style and seek out more. We carefully crafted each arrangement so that there were musical elements that stayed true to the original pieces, but also included aspects that were influenced by our classical backgrounds and training. I had the most fun arranging ‘Horse Riding’ from Breath of the Wild and hope listeners enjoy this and all the arrangements on the album.”
