Last month, I posted about a fan made album being created in celebration of Metroid's anniversary. Yesterday was the anniversary, and Harmony of a Hunter is now available for download! OCRemix helped in organizing Harmony of a Hunter to let us celebrate with many fine pieces to listen to. The Metroid Database and Metroid Recon are helping out by hosting the downloads. A large number of people contributed to this project to celebrate and mark this amazing series, which includes music from the original NES Metroid through Metroid: Other M for the Nintendo Wii. There are two albums total that feature a diverse range of talented individuals covering a variety of genres. There are other sites contributing music to the Metroid series, so hit the jump to find more!...

Welcome to another installment of Erica's Ocarina Experience! This week, I am playing Bolero of Fire from Ocarina of Time!

Each of these two styles has spread to various parts of the world, and it doesn't surprise me to see it within the Zelda series. It is a family favorite in my house. For my next video and the tabs, hit the jump!...

In honor of Metroid's 25th Anniversary, I wanted to paint some good old Metroid fan art. Unfortunately I'm currently in between computers, and won't be able to do that for some time. However, I spent a good chunk of yesterday going through my favorites list on Deviant Art, searching through Metroid fan art communities, and scrolling through Google Images for some of the best and more tasteful Metroid art out there. I also found some pretty excellent Metroid cosplays as well. You check them all out inside....
