Zelda

Zelda formed in the early 2000s in Rio de Janeiro, with vocalist Lauana Prado, guitarist Bruno Caliman, bassist Fernando Quesada, and drummer Bruno Medina. Their name came from the video game heroine, though their music was Brazilian pop rather than fantasy. In 2003, they released their debut album, which included the song 'A Primeira Vista.'

'A Primeira Vista' became a hit in Brazil, capturing something about first love that resonated widely. The band followed it with other songs like 'Complicação' and 'Inverno,' maintaining a pop sound that sometimes drew criticism for being too commercial compared to traditional Brazilian styles. They kept working anyway, releasing albums through 2012.

Zelda's music, including tracks like 'Pretérito Imperfeito' and 'Dueto,' found an audience that appreciated its melodic appeal. The band hasn't been widely documented in recent years, but songs like 'A Primeira Vista' still get played on Brazilian radio sometimes.
