Zelda Main Theme


The Zelda Main Theme, composed by Koji Kondo, is one of the most recognizable pieces in video game history, originating from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. Kondo, hired by Nintendo in 1984 as its first dedicated composer, crafted a melody that has remained iconic for decades. Its memorable, adventure-driven phrasing makes it a rewarding and crowd-pleasing piece to arrange and perform on electric guitar.

  • Koji Kondo was Nintendo's first dedicated in-house composer, hired in 1984, shaping the sound of gaming for generations.
  • The theme's strong melodic hooks translate well to single-note lead guitar lines, making it accessible for players of most skill levels.
  • Kondo is also known for the Super Mario Bros. theme, the first video game music entered into the American National Recording Registry.
