Music has always been a central facet of the Legend of Zelda series, and the seminal N64 entry, Ocarina of Time, is universally regarded as a masterpiece in gaming.

What happens when a young Spanish folk singer, whose music takes inspiration from the songs of his grandparents’ generation, stars in a queer epic film set during the Spanish Civil War?
