Did you know that a mashup album of music from the N64 classic Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with some pretty recognizable rap names exists? Well it does and its called The Ocarina of Rhyme (get it for free here). Samples from Ocarina of Time include many great themes like those the Lost Woods, Goron Village and the Battle music. While drawing on big names like Jay-Z, Snoop and Aesop Rock, many of the mashups fail to live up to their potential and come off as somewhat incoherent. Aesop Rock's No Jumpercables with the Goron Village theme definitely works musically and is one of the highlights of the album, along with the Clipse track that more than anything is awesome because it uses the Lost Woods theme. More than a simple novelty, The Ocarina of Rhyme put together some pretty fun tracks that if not always the most musically successful are a great way to remember the excellent music of one of the greatest video games ever.
