Kanye West finally released his long-awaited album Jesus Is King last week, and now that fans have had some time to let the new music sink in, they've realized a strange similarity between an album track and a Legend of Zelda theme song.
 
People on Twitter have noted that West's track "Selah" sounds rather like Koji Kondo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time videogame soundtrack cut "Gerudo Valley."
 
Twitter user @everydaylouie's even mixed the two songs layered over top of each other to hammer the point home. Hear that below.
 

 
Plenty of others have supported the theory, but they're too busy making jokes to be mad about it. See some of the reactions below.
 

 
Listen to both songs below to see if you can hear why people think the tracks sound alike.
