What Game Had THE BEST !!! Soundtrack

[Tak]

My favourite soundtrack would have to be between;

Ocarina of Time- Contained some truly epic music which I could listen to over and over...

Majora's Mask- Contained some of my favourite themes from OoT. And its original themes were all great.

Twilight Princess- The main theme was truly memorable. And some of the Dungeon Themes and overworld themes were some of the best peices of video game music I have ever heard.

Heh, these threads always put my brain into conflict. I can never decide without second guessing myself.

I think the my favorite soundtrack overall would have to be Ocarina of Time's. So many good songs came from that game that I love, that I think that it's the one I'll go with.

But the Wind Waker and Majora's Mask both had some great songs as well. Majora's Mask for, as Axle said, bringing back many of the songs from OoT, while introducing some great new ones as well.

As for Wind Waker, the sound quality of the music was better (if I remember right), but I really liked the songs such as Windfall Island and Outset Island that took part of the Kakariko village and Kokiri Forest themes and made new songs out of them. The upbeat/happiness of the music was nice, and matched the game well.

oot hands down because it had songs that all of us proable remember to this day

I think ALttP had the best musical arrangements. It brought Zelda's Lullaby and Ganon's theme to the series and the other major themes of the game are instant classics. Hyrule Castle is probably the most re-used, but others that are fantastic include the Dark World theme, Kakariko Village, the Fairy Theme, and a fantastic rendition of the Overworld Theme.

I know most flock to OoT, but I wonder if sometimes that's because the music played prominently into the game itself. While there were nice little pieces composed for the Ocarina, none of them were really all that fleshed out. I really do love Gerudo Valley, and the Windmill Hut Theme, but overall the dungeon themes are not hum-able. Lack of the Overworld Theme is a disappointment, even though Hyrule Field's theme is well done. ALttP's soundtrack are all full of hum-able themes, and that brings it to top position for me.

As for easily listenable, I choose TP, mainly because of the advancement in VG music tech. It's listenable as a movie soundtrack, although some instuments are still somewhat 'fake' and evident to being MIDI-based. It's still got the best quality to the music, but only really because it was made in the middle of this decade. If ALttP's music were in the TP quality, then it would definitely be tops, but 16-bit music isn't always pleasant to crank on the stereo.

 

[Halo siera 117]

I'd say definetly ALTTP for just two thatr definetly are the most amazing thing you'd've ever heard!

Dark overworld and Dark Moutain and Skull forest.

Majora's Mask, if just because of the Song of Healing. Also, it contained some of the best songs from Ocarina of Time, like the Lost Woods/Woods of Mystery, Lon Lon/Romani Ranch, and Zelda's Lullaby/Ocarina of Time.

 

[Anubis]

Wind waaaaaaaaaaaakeeerr! Just love the bosses music and dragon roost island got me completly! But as Octo rocked said song of healing, thats the best part with the whole MM in my oppinion! XD
But still WW's my answer!

 

[Master Kokiri 9]

I honestly think that Link's Awakening had the best Soundtrack. Just take a listen to some of my favorites.

Now can you honestly say that any other Zelda game to date has such a great soundtrack? No you cannot.

 

[Locke]

My favorite is Wind Waker, with its unique boss themes and catchy island tunes, but I'd have to say LttP was the best. It had many great themes that are still being re-used.

 

[Dirty Link]

OOT, i dont even think theres a discussion on that. I will say windwaker had some really good music i love the great sea music, but its not hyrule field and OOT just they were on their A-Game w/that one

 

[Brandikins]

Even though OoT is in second place I still voted for it. Ocarina of Time's songs were warmer and more memorable. I'll never forget the song that plays on the credits. Majora's Mask had a great one, but I choose OoT because it was the first Zelda game I ever got. The first game you get in a series, will always be your favorite - Even if it looks bad in comparison to all of the others.

 

[SirenOfTheSea]

It's a tough tie between A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker.

A Link to the Past was the first to show themes that are very well-known in the Zelda franchise today, especially Zelda's Lullaby (although many people think that it's from OoT). Dark World, Dark Mountain, the Lost Woods, and Hyrule Castle are just some of my favorites. The soundtrack for this game is definitely the most memorable.

As for Wind Waker, the soundtrack is great, as it brought many original songs while keeping the classics. The only one I hate would be the Great Sea song; it's probably my least favorite theme for any overworld. But ones like Dragon Roost Island and Windfall Island are also very memorable.

But then again, the soundtrack for every Zelda game is great (although the only one I like in Phantom Hourglass is Linebeck's theme).
From what I've seen, the soundtrack for Spirit Tracks sounds incredibly promising.

 

[Locke]

Yea, ST's is pretty good. Overworld, Hyrule Castle, Castle Town, and Wilderness are all pretty memorable. The one thing I didn't like is that they used the same theme (even though it was a good one) for every town. Yes they did a great job of matching the instrumentation etc with the feel of the town, but I would have preferred to have unique songs for each major town.

 

[Octo Rocked]

Oh, also, props go to TP just for Minda's Lament. It may be the sound quality, but it's just such a unique sound for a Zelda title. In fact, it's actually kinda trippy.

 

[LinkIV]

it has to be OOT because the music has always come easy to me for it was my first zelda game
