It’s time we all accepted the fact that The Legend of Zelda is metal. From its dark, epic dungeons to its intricateÂ iconography to Ganondorf (the most metal villain in all of video games),Â The Legend of Zelda has metal running through its veins. Once you accept this truth, it will make perfect sense that metalcore giants August Burns Red unleashed an epic cover of the ZeldaÂ theme.This epic cover will appear onÂ August Burns Red’s newÂ Phantom SessionsÂ EP,Â which is out February 8 viaÂ Fearless Records.Â The track is lead by August Burns Red bassistÂ Dustin Davidson who actually performed the cover on guitar and is a life long ZeldaÂ devotee (he even has a Zelda leg sleeveÂ tattoo).
