The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Receives Soothing Jazz Treatment

Scarlet Moon Records is thrilled to release Prescription for Sleep: Ocarina of Time, a jazz lullaby tribute to Koji Kondo's iconic score for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to chill, relax, sleep, and study to. The album is performed by GENTLE LOVE, a duo comprised of Metal Gear Solid series composer Norihiko Hibino on saxophone and Etrian Odyssey/Streets of Rage performer AYAKI on piano, who pour their heart and soul into 11 beloved arrangements and an original composition inspired by the land of Hyrule. The album celebrates 40 years of The Legend of Zelda as well as 15 years since the 3DS re-release of Ocarina of Time. Prescription for Sleep: Ocarina of Time is now available on all digital storefronts and streaming platforms:

Prescription for Sleep: Ocarina of Time on All Storefronts

Prescription for Sleep: Ocarina of Time is the 16th album in this Billboard-charting jazz series and marks its twelfth anniversary, the series having kicked off on May 19, 2014. It is also the first album in the series dedicated entirely to The Legend of Zelda franchise, though fans will recall "Windmill Hut" ("Song of Storms") from Ocarina of Time appearing on Prescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies Volume III. The album covers fan-favorites from across the game's unforgettable soundtrack, including the timeless "Zelda's Lullaby," the carefree "Kokiri Forest," the sweeping "Hyrule Field Main Theme," the wistful "Kakariko Village," and the transcendent "Temple of Time," among others. A melancholy original composition, "Remembrance," closes the album as GENTLE LOVE's love letter to the world of Ocarina of Time.

"Ocarina of Time is one of those games whose music transcends the game itself," reflects Scarlet Moon's Jayson Napolitano. "I've been wanting to do a dedicated Zelda album since we launched the series, and it was really a question of which game. Ocarina of Time felt like the obvious choice — it's the game that introduced so many people to orchestral game music, and Koji Kondo's melodies are so beautifully suited to what GENTLE LOVE does. Hearing 'Zelda's Lullaby' and 'Temple of Time' rendered in this style felt like a dream come true. Here's to twelve years of the series, and we hope this is the album fans have been waiting for!"
