Smooth McGroove’s Wind Waker A Cappella Is A Great Way To Close Out The Day
A cappella master Smooth McGroove’s latest YouTube video features the sweet sounds of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. This entry in Nintendo’s series was polarizing because of its cel shaded look, but it’s hard to dispute how wonderful Kōji Kondō’s soundtrack is.
This music from early on in Link’s seafaring adventure embodies adventure, mystery, and a little bit of danger, all of which is captured in the a cappella version. For more from Smooth McGroove, you can listen to his covers of tracks from Secret of Mana, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII, Street Fighter, and Mega Man 2.
You can also check out an interview we conducted with him in September 2013.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
