Legend of Zelda music, and other orchestrated soundtracks

Recommended Posts

Out of all of the soundtracks I have heard, the legend of zelda has captured me more than any other. From the moment you turn on the game your ears are treated to some of the best music in videogames. This thread is specifically for discussing complex musical scores such as the legend of zelda. If you are a true lover of orchestrated music then this is the place to talk about it.

 

Personally my favorite soundtrack in a game is The legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Every song is complex and engrosing. Every time you step on a new island or go out to see there is a different beautiful composition waiting for you. Take a listen to the dragon roost island theme

Ocarina of Time's soundtracks were amazing, including the playing of the Ocarina. It fills me with joy each time I hear Saria's Song.
