`Legend of Zelda' 40th anniversary concert coming to Hollywood Bowl

Music from Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda" video game series will be performed at the Hollywood Bowl next summer as part of a worldwide tour celebrating the franchise's 40th anniversary, the Los Angeles Philharmonic announced Tuesday.

"The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert" will be performed Aug. 25, 2027, by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

The concert will feature music spanning the video game series, ranging from nostalgic themes to more contemporary works.

"Since 1986, the Legend of Zelda series has been one of Nintendo's most enduring and influential franchises," according to the LA Phil.

"These games tell a tale of good versus evil and revolve around a courageous hero named Link, a wise princess named Zelda, and a dark and powerful villain named Ganondorf -- each representing one aspect of a divine energy known as the Triforce. Across generations, Link and Zelda stand against Ganondorf's relentless ambition, fighting to prevent him from plunging the kingdom of Hyrule into darkness."

The first game in "The Legend of Zelda" series was released in Japan in 1986. The Hollywood Bowl performance will be part of an international concert tour marking four decades since the game's release.

Other orchestras participating in the tour include members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, along with the Houston Symphony, London Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Seattle Symphony and Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Tickets for the Hollywood Bowl concert will go on sale Wednesday.
