The Deku Trio - Zelda & Jazz (Green Marble Vinyl)

Green Marble Vinyl

GameChops pressed this edition in a run of 1,000 copies at Furnace Record Pressing in Virginia, the label's new home after the Philadelphia plant it had used closed in late 2024. The green marble vinyl is hand-poured and no two copies are identical; the label puts the range from lime green to chartreuse. This is the edition GameChops sells directly in the United States and Canada. A separate Diggers Factory variant, carrying its own barcode, was pressed for the rest of the world.

Zelda & Jazz is the debut album by The Deku Trio, the in-house jazz group at GameChops, a video game record label operating since 2010. Twelve pieces from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are rearranged for piano, upright bass and drums, in what the label describes as coffeehouse jazz built on ornamented piano, soulful basslines and jazz-forward reharmonizations. The album was released digitally in June 2024 and reached vinyl the following year.

Rob Araujo, of Chillhop, arranged the record. The trio is credited as Princess Keys on piano, G. Dorf on upright bass and Lincoln Beats on drums. Dj Cutman mastered it and Chris Davidson of GameChops is executive producer. Koji Kondo composed the original music; the jacket carries character designs by comic artist Riana Dorsey.
