A Huge Symphony Played A Super Nostalgic Zelda Medley On Colbert

The conductor had a Wind Waker! She's a wizard!

Zelda has some of the most emotionally evocative and well-orchestrated music in gaming and the symphony beautifully paid tribute to the series.

The symphony has a full array of instruments and even a robust choir section.
