The Legend of Zelda is a huge inspiration in all of my work. Since I mostly do music stuff, I tend to try and write similarly to how Koji Kondo does in the sense that all my work should have some kind of theme and emotion to it, not just some chords with a melody over it. It should have a purpose and substance to it just like all of his music does. I also listen to a lot of metal which has surprisingly taught me a lot about theory and tonality and stuff like that so it keeps me always listening and working towards something better.
