I have a list in my head of some of these inspirations (both direct and indirect), but I thought I'd start listing some of them here for others to enjoy. Please feel free to add anything you find!
I was listening to
Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor (op. 30) the other day, and heard something
very familiar. Listen to it, and then to the opening notes of
The Legendary Stormwind Ark progression . . . that was a bit of a wondrous moment for me.
And where there are direct inspirations, so too are there indirect inspirations. For instance, I always feel a bit of The Duke (
Mount Harissa from the Far East Suite) when I listen to
Gerudo Town from
Breath of the Wild, though it's just the doo, doo, doo, doooo rhythm that does it for me. Less direct than the Rachmaninov, but still reminiscent. Anyway, there are some brief Zelda thoughts for the day.
