They Fight Dragons.
It is a beautiful thing when a bunch of dorks pick up some instruments and cover a video game song. It is even better when they infuse Nintendo themes and sounds with all their songs.

This group I have for you here is called I Fight Dragons, and they are an NES-rock band from Chicago. They decided to wow a likely nerd-based audience by expressing their love of the Legend of Zelda games through amplified song at one of their shows. Their choice? The main theme, which they have renamed "I Fight Ganon".

Luckily, someone in the front had a camera. For a live show, the fidelity is excellent and the harmonies are pretty damn good. I would probably go see them if they toured to Seattle. Which they might, because apparently they are kind of a big deal -- they recently played on the Warped  Tour.

Anyway, enough about me. Let's get to the music. Hit the link for the video.
