The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony is an orchestra which performed concerts in Tokyo, Los Angeles, and London as part of the 25th anniversary of the Zelda series.

Members
The Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony was composed of three different orchestras. In Tokyo, the concert was performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, in Los Angeles by the Orchestra Nova San Diego, and in London by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

Concerts
The three premier concerts were part of a preview which preceded the full 2012 world tour, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses. The music was hand-picked by Nintendo composer Koji Kondo and his team, while the concerts were produced by Jason Michael Paul, Inc., the producers of PLAY! A Video Game Symphony.

In the Los Angeles and London concerts, the pieces were accompanied by synced videos featuring scenes taken from the Zelda games which were projected behind the orchestra. This feature was not included in the Tokyo concert.

Each of the three concerts featured the appearances of Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo on stage, with the latter performing a solo on piano. Shigeru Miyamoto was only present at the Tokyo concert, while Zelda Williams made a special appearance in the London concert.

//something about how the places were decorated

Tokyo
In Tokyo, there were two shows on October 10, one starting at 2:00 PM and the other one at 6:30 PM, local time. The concerts were performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.

Los Angeles
Performed by the Orchestra Nova San Diego, the Los Angeles concert took place on October 21, 2011 at the Pantages Theater. The ticket prices started at $35 USD.

London
The London concert was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra on October 25, 2011 at the Hammersmith Apollo, with ticket prices starting at £33.75.

Setlist
The premier concerts included music that was not performed in the world tour, since the 25th anniversary symphony concerts were "intended to be unique, special, one-time commemorative events". However, they did feature two movements from a four-part symphony that is to be played during the Symphony of the Goddesses tour: The Wind Waker Movement and the Twilight Princess Movement

Reception
The reviews about the 25th anniversary concerts were mostly positive.
