'The Legend of Zelda': Video Game Symphony Set for Worldwide Tour

— -- Cue the violins.

One of the hottest concert tickets for next year is a symphony based on "The Legend of Zelda" video game from the 1980s.

The iconic video game has been given the symphony treatment on two previous world tours. The new tour dates, which include 20 performances in North America, Europe and Asia, will be a marriage of celebrating what's new with Zelda, while also paying homage to creator Shigeru Miyamoto, producer Eiji Aonuma and composer Koji Kondo.

"There are a lot of good things happening in the Zelda world right now," including the upcoming release of "The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask" on the Nintendo's 3DS gaming system Jason Michael Paul, the producer of the tour, told ABC News.

At the same time, "I want the focus to be on the original creators and have them lend more of a hand in presenting the show with me," Paul said. "I have worked closely with them to bring it to fans across the world."

While video games and symphonies aren't two things one would expect to complement each other, Paul said it makes perfect sense for the Zelda franchise.

"A symphony is telling a story through music," he said. "We weave in and out of the various games from the beginning to present, and then of course we have some of the other pieces [of a typical symphony] including a prelude and the intermezzo to start the second half."

After two years of planning the show, Paul said he's ready to hit the road with his 66-member orchestra and 24 singers to bring the latest Zelda symphony to the game's cross section of fans.

"I like to think [the audience] is people who also appreciate good music," he said. "The franchise itself spans 28 years, so you're pulling from a lot of social groups."

The tour kicks off this coming January 21 in Nashville -- and judging by Twitter, fans around the world couldn't be more excited.
