Legend of Zelda: Needs A Subtitle Previewed

1up.com continues its ramp-up to E3 feature rampage with a preview of the next Legend of Zelda title. They discuss not only the upcoming game but some classic moments from the series' past as well. From the article: "Koji Kondo: Yes, as I recall, in the very first Legend of Zelda, in the very opening title screen, we used to use the classical music of 'Bolero,' because that tempo was perfectly matched with the speed of the opening screen rolling. But I remember it was just before, when we really had to complete the final ROM for reproduction, they told me that unfortunately the copyright of that music hadn't expired yet, so I had to compose a completely new piece of music that night. I recall that I did it within one day. You know, 'da-da-da-da' -- that was done in just one day." Witty story name gleaned from toastyfrog's blog.

    You know, 'da-da-da-da'

    Oh yeah, THAT song. So much better than that other song, 'da-da-do-da'.

    Link! He come to town
    Come to save the princess Zelda
    Ganon put her away
    Now the children don't play
    But they will when Link saves the day
    Hallelujah!

    Now Link, fill up your hearts
    So you can shoot your sword of power
    And when you're feeling all down
    The fairy will come around
    So you'll be brave
    And not a sissy coward

    Now Link has saved the day
    For Ganon is in his grave
    So now Zelda is free
    And now our hero shall be
    Link, I think your name shall go down into history
