The Zelda Violin Girl Has Arrived in Skyrim
The Legend of Zelda Violin Girl — whose real name is Lindsey Sterling — had brought her mad violin skills and adorable goofiness to Skyrim. She’s also brought a friend, both to sing and to run around with her in a scenic snowy wilderness while cosplaying, and then have a duel in which Sterling wields a violin bow. This makes things significantly goofier than usual, but it also makes the song more impressive, especially when you realize it’s made up entirely of Sterling’s violin and the guy’s voice. Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip.
