Hey guys, first post. I just discovered this today. (I hope this is the proper forum!)
Anyway, there's an indie rap album called "Ocarina of Rhyme" and it's completely new and original nerdcore rap music done to a lot of sampled Zelda sounds and music. But it's not just straight rips, they're used in a very cool and creative way. There's sounds taken from a whole bunch of Zeldas -- I, II, Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, of course OoT...
For those still skeptical, take it this way: I don't listen to rap at all. In fact I don't really have a taste for rap music in the slightest. But this album is actualy pretty fun and entertaining to listen to. Definitely check it out if you have some time.

There's also another "Ocarina of Rhyme" album out there too, but only mixes popular, already-made rap with Zelda music. Kinda lame. The one I linked is definitely the one to check out.

One is good and one is bad.
Are they the same artist?
The link in the OP's post is the one done by a single rapper, named Sleaze. Personally I thought it was alright with a couple pretty good tracks, but mostly meh.
The second one is a mashup of popular/indie rap artists and Zelda music. I find this one a lot more awesome, even the not quite as good tracks are pretty good, while the great tracks are outstanding. Plus I'm a total whore for Aesop Rock.
Here's the link to the second one: http://8tracks.com/teamteamwork/the-ocarina-of-rhyme. You can download the whole thing at the link in the second comment there or just listen to it in the web player.
