Some 22 years after its creation, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of
Time is still held in high critical regard as one of the finest
examples of the video game medium. The same is true of the game's
music, whose superlative reception continues to be evident, whether
in the context of the game or in orchestral concerts and recordings
of the game's music. Given music's well-established significance
for the video game form, it is no coincidence that music is placed
at the forefront of this most lauded and loved of games. In Ocarina
of Time, music connects and unifies all aspects of the game, from
the narrative conceit to the interactive mechanics, from the
characters to the virtual worlds, and even into the activity of
legions of fans and gamers, who play, replay and reconfigure the
music in an enduring cultural site that has Ocarina of Time at its
centre. As video game music studies begins to mature into a
coherent field, it is now possible to take the theoretical
apparatus and critical approaches that have been developed in
antecedent scholarship and put these into practice in the context
of an extended concrete game example. The most extensive
investigation into the music of a single game yet undertaken, this
book serves three important primary purposes: first, it provides a
historical-critical account of the music of an important video game
text; second, it uses this investigation to explore wider issues in
music and media studies (including interactivity, fan cultures, and
music and technology); and third, it serves as a model for future
in-depth studies of video game music.
