obligatory (SAT word for today! Use it!) disclaimer: I, like my fellow fan femmes, so
do not own Zelda, any character associated with Nintendo, nor do I own the Boston Pops
Orchestra, nor any of the music I mention in this story..all of which is very good. ENJOY! I own nothing!
Tonight's guests are the characters of 'The Legends of Zelda'
(shots of characters on stage zoom by on the screen)
Link! (getting a triangle)
Zelda! (standing in front of the Conducter Guy)
Lord Ganondorf! (evil electric guitar playing)
And Sheik! (ultra-bish harp solo!)
(title card- A Night Out with the Boston Pops)
(shot of orchestra on stage-much applause. Conducter Guy enters from stage right
(A/N:that's from the left if you're in the audience! yes...I know..I'm a geek...) More
applause and cheering)
CG: (smiles, bows, waves, pauses for quiet) Thank you for joining us tonight.
Tonight's program is entirely dedicated to one of Nintendo's greatest heroes,
'The Legends of Zelda's' very own Link!
(orchestra plays a snippet of the Hyrule Overture as Link walks out in his
"formal tunic"- the same green one with a bow tie. He smiles and poses for the
audience and walks over to CG and shakes hands with him)
CG: And what adventure would be complete without a lovely princess.
Here's Princess Zelda!
(Zelda walk out to a beautiful violin arrangement of Zelda's lullaby. She turns to
the audience and gives a deep curtsy. CG helps her up because she gets
stuck and kisses her hand)
CG: Now, when these two found out that we give our special guests the privilege to
perform with the orchestra, well, you should see for yourselves.
(cut to "one week ago" at the rehearsal hall. Link and Zelda are in casual clothes
as is CG)
CG: Now, Zelda, is there and instrument you're skilled in?
Zelda: I can play the harp, or the ocarina if someone gave it back. (leers at Link
who's looking around at the tubas hanging on the wall)
CG: I think the harp would be perfect for you. (walks over to a huge six foot tall harp
and unseats it from its stand)
Zelda: (in disbelief) I- I can't play that!
(offcamera) Link's voice: Yeah, that'd require talent, not a crown!
CG: Why not? I'm sure you could play it.
Zelda: Look! (sits down with harp in playing position) You can't see me! (turns to
camera guy) Can you see me?!
CG: I guess we can find something else for you, but let's work with Link right now.
(camera turns around and Link is strangling a pair of maracas)
CG: Do you want to try percussion? you'll have to a lot of running around (laughs), but
I guess you're used to that, huh?
(offcamera, Zelda is heard plinking harp chords absentmindedly)
Link: Well, i'm not very good with like, y'know, rhythm. I'm good at hitting stuff though.
CG: (laughs) Then maybe pit percussion. It's more like sound effects, like slide
whistles and the like.
Link: Okay, I'll try that.
(two days later-at rehearsal)
(shots of orchestra)
(Members are marking music and tuning up. Zelda is whining under the massive
harp And Link is in the back with the Pit Master)
CG: All right everyone, let's get this together...Let's start at section A um...third bar
(starts in the middle of the Hyrule Overture)
(cuts back to the orchestra on stage, the three standing there. Applause and laughter
from audience)
CG: Will you please take your places?
(Zelda walks over to her platform with the harp. It's been elevated two feet from where it
needs to be and has been spraypainted gold with fake flowers everywhere. The third
row of violins help her up)
CG: Hold on Link!
(Link turns around)
CG: We've got a special instrument for you. It's inspired by that magical emblem of
Hyrule: The Triforce!
(shots of audience oooing and ahhhhhing)
(back to CG)
(pulls of his stand...a triangle! Link looks at it in awe. He takes it gingerly and walks
back to the Pit)
CG: This first piece is the one that started it all. Composed by Nintendo's greatest
composer, Koji Kondo-
(shot of Koji Kondo who just sits there and waves)
-in 1986. Recognized by anyone who has played the game, this piece is the
epic of Zelda. The Hyrule Overture (turns around and lifts arms)
Zelda: Wait!
(shot of her jumping off the stand. Murmurs throughout the hall as she walks over to CG)
I decided that a princess should never follow (puts hand out) but lead instead.
(CG looks surprised as Zelda stands there and looks at audience who start cheering.
With a sigh, CG concedes and relinquishes his baton and walks off stage. Zelda readies
herself, cracking her knuckles and looking at the score. The orchestra begins)
A/N: I have the piece by the Boston Pops. email me to download the mp3 and
listen along!
(pretty music here)
(at the end, Link hits his one noteon the triangle. Applause!)
end of chapter 1
