There are two bands going by the name "Zelda": 1) Rock band from Japan. 2) Black/Death metal band from France.

1. ＺＥＬＤＡ (ゼルダ) was a Japanese rock band active between the 1970s and 1990s. They played a pioneering role as one of Japan's first all-girl bands. They were also the longest running all-girl band.

Led by Sachiho Kojima (小嶋さちほ), the band covered an impressive range of musical genres, from new wave, punk, pop, and funk to other african music. Zelda played a seminal role for later bands with their forays into roots music and experimental sounds.

The name of the band is based on that of Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
