With Nintendo set to release The Legend Of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes for the 3DS system later this month, it makes perfect sense that there’d be a Legend Of Zelda orchestra out on tour right now. Why not, right? And thanks to brand management, marketing, and Stephen Colbert’s apparent love of space-related challenges, that orchestra—The Legend Of Zelda: Symphony Of The Goddesses—stopped by The Late Show last night. All 73 members of the group packed the Ed Sullivan Theater for a luxe and sublimely nerdy performance backed with scenes from the games. The result is both kind of neat and slightly off-putting, both because this is something we haven’t really seen on late-night TV before and because, well, it’s a pretty weird concept:
The Legend Of Zelda: Symphony Of The Goddesses is currently on tour. Dates are on the group’s site.
