Music
Elden Ring composer Yuka Kitamura used Zelda songs to motivate her piano practice
It’s easy to see the similarities between The Legend of Zelda games and many FromSoftware games. My own memories of Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild run together in the best of ways, each experience in perfect harmony in my mind. It came as a pleasant surprise, however, when I learned the extent to which Zelda music played a role in the life of frequent FromSoftware composer Yuka Kitamura, who has composed for Elden Ring (including its recent DLC), Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
