User:VicGeorge2K9/Zelda and The Elder

One of my favorite albums from the early 1980's is the Kiss album, Music From "The Elder", which is the only concept album the band ever did until Psycho Circus came along. It has a story weaving through the track listing that seems to fit well with the stories told in most of the Legend of Zelda games that came out, particularly with Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess. Here is my run-down of the parallels between the album and the games, with the songs listed in the order of the Remastered version:

This song serves as the opening to the story of the album. It should also serve well as the opening for a ''Legend of Zelda" game.
 * "Fanfare"

This song is the anonymous Boy's song, singing about his fear and uncertainty. This would go well in the beginning sections of Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker, as Link starts off his adventure as a boy who has yet to venture out of his comfortable surroundings to embark on a quest much bigger than he is.
 * "Just A Boy"

This song is about two forces or beings constantly meeting each other in some form or another, linked by destiny. Most of the Legend of Zelda games seem to play out the same story over and over: Link meets Princess Zelda; he learns about the Triforce; he also learns and encounters Ganon, who desires the power of the Triforce for his own evil ends.
 * "Odyssey"

This song is about the Boy being the chosen one to vanquish evil. This seems to fit well with the Legend of Zelda games, as it always falls on Link to be the chosen one to vanquish evil.
 * "Only You"

This song is about the Boy needing to take an oath to live by the order of the Elder. We don't see this element in the Legend of Zelda games, though we do see Link in some of them requiring to make difficult choices and sacrifices in order to obtain the goal he is after.
 * "Under The Rose"

This song is about watching out for a pervading darkness that's spreading. In Twilight Princess, this is underscored by a literal form of darkness spreading across the land of Hyrule, while in most other games it takes the form of monsters spreading across the land and the Great Sea.
 * "Dark Light"

This song helps the Boy see what the world would be like without him acting as the chosen one. In Ocarina of Time, Link sees what Hyrule has become in the seven years that he has been sealed in the Temple of Time, and realizes he has the power to stop it.
 * "A World Without Heroes"

This song is about the Boy taking his steps into being the chosen one, as underscored by the lyric, "A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns". This part is depicted literally in Ocarina of Time, as Link takes the Master Sword in hand as a child and instantly grows into a man by his own reckoning, though seven years have passed for him. In most games, Link aggressively takes on the role of the hero and doesn't look back.
 * "The Oath"

This song is about the villain whom the Boy must defeat, a somewhat appropriate song for the Legend of Zelda series villain Ganon.
 * "Mr. Blackwell"

This song is a fast-paced instrumental piece, indicating some action scene that the Boy goes through. It would also go well as the soundtrack piece for the escaping of Ganon's Tower in Ocarina of Time.
 * "Escape From The Island"

This song is the Boy's personal anthem of self-confidence, knowing that he has the power to defeat Blackwell. It would also go well with the final boss fights Link has with Ganon in some form or another in Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.
 * "I"
