This section of the forum has been so quiet lately...

But anywho, I'm looking to put together my own Zelda music compilation and thought I'd start a discussion on some of the best music heard in a Zelda game. Tell me your favorites!

I'll start:

I'm a little biased since Twilight Princess is hands-down my favorite game, but I've got to say that some of my favorite music is the song played when Wolf-Link is carrying Midna to meet Princess Zelda. (They call it Midna's Lament on YouTube...not sure if this is an "official" name or not, but I see it kinda fitting).

Windwaker has some good music. I am particularly fond of the Dragon Roost Island theme myself as well as the theme played when Link is sailing.

And of course, Ocarina of Time has some of the most well-known (in my opinion) and most-loved music. Am I right in assuming this one?

Just so you know, Midna's Lament is an official name. However, I'm not sure it was referred to that in Twilight Princess. The song is present in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the name is listed there.

As for wonderful music in The Legend of Zelda...

The Legend of Zelda - Dungeon Theme
The Adventure of Link - Temple Theme
A Link to the Past - Rain (at the beginning of the game)
A Link to the Past - Sanctuary
A Link to the Past - Light World Dungeon
A Link to the Past - Dark World Overworld
A Link to the Past - Kakariko Village (same as Ocarina of Time)
Link's Awakening - The Ballad of the Wind Fish
Ocarina of Time - Everything you play on the Ocarina
Ocarina of Time - Water Temple
Ocarina of Time - Spirit Temple
Majora's Mask - Everything on Ocarina again
Majora's Mask - Clock Town
Oracle of Ages - Nayru's Theme
Ages/Seasons - Maple's Theme
Twilight Princess - Midna's Theme
Phantom Hourglass - Linebeck's Theme
Skyward Sword - Goddess Song

...just to name a few. :aww:

I love OoTs music the most, but that's mostly because I don't recognize much else. I have the occorina as my ring tone for my phone lol and I have finding a secret as my notifications on my phone.

Reminds me a whole lot of the slide music from Super Mario 64. This brings back a lot of memories. Like never being able to beat that stupid guy so I could finally get Epona. >_<

Best music <3


That one is pretty cool!

Thanks, I wasn't sure if this was an official name or not. I also saw one titled "Midna's Hour of Need." Man I wish I had the official Twilight Princess soundtrack.

I also like the Clock Town theme, although I never got into playing Majora's Mask that much. I don't know if the feeling of being rushed or something just made me freak out or if I didn't like having to get to a certain point before I could save. But Paper Mario kinda does that and so does SM 64 / SM Sunshine / SM Galaxy. And the moon really gave me nightmares. Okay, not really, but for some reason I just wasn't good at MM at all. :/

That is quite funny because I currently have Saria's song as a general ringtone. And my general text message ringtone is the Mario 1-UP tone. I also have the pipe sound and the classic jump sound, too. I'm such a geek. xD

For the past few years I've used the Minuet of Forest as a ringtone for my mother and the Bolero of Fire as a ringtone for my father. I used to keep lots of other people-specific video game ringtones, but dropped most of them when I got a new phone a while back. However, I had to keep those two - it always put me off guard getting a call from mom or dad without those ringtones.

It's not a song, but I use the rupee chime from The Wind Waker as my text notification.

Oh that's neat. I haven't put any new tones on my phone in like...forever. But the rupee tone is definitely one I want to add. Although it's annoying because it plays every time you turn the game on and first find a rupee other than a green one, the Twilight Princess rupee tone would be pretty neat.

It's all good, but honestly, you cannot beat Ocarina of Time's Temple of Time, Forest Temple, etc.

As for my favorite........... jee I dunno I love a lot of Majora's Mask music? 2nd day Clock Town I like (especially when you put rain over it). I also really liked the Deku Palace theme I dunno it was just cool to me?

What else well Link's Awakening has lots of good music, I dunno if I can pick one. Also I liked Dragon Roost Island's music.

jeez i should beat TWW I can't believe my brother has beat it and I haven't.

Also, please let me know if these are chronologically out of order anywhere. I'm trying to place them in order of release.
