GameChops is publishing a new album from Jokabi, creator of the Chilltendo lofi album series. This time he’s focusing on one specific corner of the Nintendo universe and introducing Zelda‘s LoFi Kingdom, an entire suite of remixed tunes from the two Switch titles.
Zelda’s LoFi Kingdom contains 14 arrangements including the Tears of the Kingdom title theme and boss theme, “The Lost Woods,” “Colgera Battle,” “Lurelin Village,” and “Great Fairy Fountain” among others. On three tracks Jokabi is joined by his brother Mikel (creator of Zelda & Chill). The cool cover art was drawn up by Illustrator Christian Benavides (also known as Voyager Spirit), who has contributed to Riot Games’s League of Legends among other projects.
“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was released on my birthday while I was traveling Japan for the first time,” says Jokabi. “It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with it and its soundtrack, and what started off with just a few remix sketches ended up turning into an entire album. The soundtracks have a lot of woodwinds, and my trip through Japan influenced me to include traditional instruments like the dadi and shakuhachi throughout Zelda’s Lofi Kingdom. Given my brother Mikel had ended the Zelda & Chill series recently, I knew fans would be happy to hear his style represented here as well. The illustrator and animator Voyager Spirit is amazingly talented, and perfectly captured the essence of the music with his stunning artwork. It feels like everything fell into place perfectly.”
