It’s clear from that Direct that Nintendo perfectly understands how important music is to the Zelda legacy. That opening arrangement was beautiful, can’t wait to go to one of the 40th anniversary concerts.

But man, do I hate how Link’s hat looks

I am thrilled to announce that my album release show will be at the prestigious @BlueNoteNYC on September 8th. A huge honor to be bringing chiptune/vgm to a venue that i once saw Chick Corea play at when I was still just in high school.

But then on the other hand, if you're using these ideas right next to a picture of Snoopy's face. . .

[8-bit Music Theory @8bitMusicTheory]

I started checking out this Snoopy game soundtrack thinking I could swoop in with a Neely-style heroic take detailing why this lawsuit is ridiculous. But the more I listened to the music the more I can see why they got in trouble. I don’t think they should be getting sued but

@nintendolife @8bitMusicTheory Hi, do you think this is something you could talk about? They are comparing Linus and Lucy to a 4-second success theme from the game (Success B). Would be interesting to hear your take on this!

[8-bit Music Theory @8bitMusicTheory]

Like the 1-2-3 melodic motif that Linus and Lucy is built around is so simple, and the piano left hand accompaniment pattern of 1-5-8 so common, that it would be ridiculous to try and copyright them or say they're anyone's intellectual property
