A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
N64 / 3DS
Zelda Ocarina of Time (1998)
Kokiri Forest
Koji Kondo
Trilha sonora espetacular.
LISTEN!
Call me crazy but... I think Link's Awakening DX is better.
Only Zeldas I ever beat are Link's Awakening and Wind Waker. Best ones imo
You're crazy
...It began... :)
Hey.... Listen!
Good one!
The start of an adventure.
Why is it only so short? :(
Listening to this music I can *almost* grasp a feeling, some tiny emotion remaining in my mind of what it was like playing this game as a 9 year old kid. Videogames might have changed but growing up is what really changes people's perceptions.
Outset Island sped up!
I heard the 5 notes at the beginning while doing something different just now and I immediately started smiling :)
OoT is good, but i feel its pretty overrated, only one ive really played, but like the art style and setting of Wind Waker, i also think that about TP and Skyward Sword. The 16-bit style and music of Link to the past always gets me :D
I never realized this theme was really so short. I could listen to this loop for ages and not get tired.
Well said. Support unique ideas and innovative ways to play!
QUICK! THERE'S STILL HOPE PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON TO NEGATE THE EFFECTS! ITS NOT TOO LATE!!
SHIT SHIT SHIT I CLICKED TOO SOON AND HIT THE DISLIKE BUTTON!!!! I HAVE BETRAYED YOU, ZELDA, AND I AM SORRY
Played this as a kid. although i was really scared of the Zombie time stop screams at that time... But i got through...
@KillaCode1 Pikmin 3 confirmed for Wii U!
@Tonypikmin CoD is making everything look the same. I remember everything from the 90's and such, sitting down in your living room, playing the new Zelda game that came out, having actual fun. Nowadays, Zelda and such has been runed. Your name reminded me and the old Pikmin games, hopefully they make a third where its the same as the old ones.
@Diabolojr COD lol , that shit is making videogames look all the same.
@SlayerxLeo354 That was a clever comment indeed
@Treggorz let me know how it goes when you do that.
Where the legend begun...
These games are obviously great, but to compare them to todays games is unfair, Arkham City for example is a great game, but u cant compare it to OoT. OoT has the nostalgia working for it too.
Navi- "Hey, Link it's time to get up. The deku tree would like to see you."
Whenever this music plays, a big smiles comes to my face~
@Glentina428 Well then you weren't listening at all. Play through it again.
Imagine that music in the early mornings when you wake up and start your day.
my friend got this game when it came out and it said rated T and i was like wut?
@ConnorK1995 Really? Cause I don't recall hearing this song in Minish Cap...
@hungryhungrymetroid I'm lucky to have one, unfortunately, I can't say the same for my friends. I'm 13 and I wish that I could've grown up with these games awesome games nes through n64
@tharob indedd sir. indeed!
@MountainWolf100 yea, other than like maybe 10 game cube games and a few others, everything great was on the n64/snes/nes.
I feel like a kid with this music! ^^
@Sephiko im still wondering how it got up there.
This was also in the Minish Cap :D
I find myself humming this song when I'm at work.
ohh.. rupeess.. niceeee xD
"WHERE. IS. THE. FUCKING. SWORD."
@NinjaMinkzx But time goes by and history repeats...
@aleon76 If that's true, and they believe in 2012, Skyward Sword better be freaking awesome. Though, no game can be compared to this one, IMO :D
@aleon76 and when they made ocarina of time, they belived the world would end next week, so they put 3060% effort in the game
@oscarnswe They're putting in Master Quest, too.
@aleon76 we can only hope 2012 does the same thing :P
@aleon76 well now they got 2012 to look foward to
Christ, I'm old...lol (Fucking love this game, don't get me wrong here.)
I think the problem today is that games are too damn trendy. Everything today is so generic because everything wants to be too cool for its own good. Gamers today are too full of themselves and dont let themselves be surprised by games. They all want the same stuff as before and are dissecting games like it was a contest. It has lost most of the magic. Both gamers and developers are to blame for this.. IMHO
3 people never got their own fairy.
I'll say after beating Master Quest, the original just doesn't seem the same. I wish they'd do more Master Quests for the other games.
Ever tried Master Quest. That is a beast of a Zelda Game. But so fun and worth it.
@allthatishere Yeah, but I won't buy it unless there is something new added, like a dungeon or extra quest.
aren't they remaking this game for the 3DS?
wait a second.... does this sound like outset Island to anyone?
@aleon76 *1 year reply* Now all we need to do is make them believe 2012....
I'm betting this will sound super weird but I'll say it, I can howl very well most Zelda songs.
GAMING IN THE CLINTON YEARS!! FUCK YEAH
@LexRyuzaki, Same here, my first celebrity crush was Link. :D
Probably my fav game of all time. Still got my original cartridge around.
Hey!
@impregnent i mean alone*
@impregnent ok ill leave you alon ._.
@impregnent im not a troll you butt nugget, all i said was i didn't like it... jeez
@LeoStarman97 well what i meant was, i didnt really like that game okay.....
@tinkred9 :O WHHHHAT!
Hey! LISTEN! *hits C-up*
@tinkred9 You sir are gay
i played this game before, it was a peace of crap.
And Saria is ADORABLE! XD
Played this in my teenage years...And if there's a heaven for me, I sure as hell am hoping that I will soar one minute and then POP! walk into Kokiri Forest as a little kid and just... Live forever ^^ Neverland ain't got nothing on Kokiri Forest! :D
ah this influenced my childhood. before this game, i was like a stay inside its too bright person. after this, i wanted more, so i gathered a bunch of stuff everyday (lantern, bottle of water, etc.) and would explore the backyard forest.
I remember the end of 3rd grade well, my sis got a furby...and I got this. I think I won that arrangement.
@MrLookaplane maybe, but It is made for the hardcore zelda fans (the ones who've played ocarina about 8 or 9 times) At some point there is no more chalenge to the game so that's when this becomes fun I just looked back in more nostalgia as i went through it ^_^
@garfreeek i probly wont unless its realy cheap i just love this one so much the master quest might destroy that love that i have
@MrLookaplane try locating the master quest version! it works exactly opposite of what you know in these dungeons. so you get that confused feeling again! You start the fire temple at it's end and work your way to the beginning xD
n64 was the best just so many good memories and the first time i beat it i was sad that it had to end but as of now i have completed it 5 times
I remember when I was just a little chap and I was playin this game. I was to young even to know what to do hahaha, but I had some awsome times in this game. Living the adventure as the sages had foretold, but my favorite part was just chatting around Korkiri Forest and listening to this tune...
good times... :') i never go forget the n64, it change my childhood!
the good old games!
IMO OoT is still the most outstanding game, there ever was!
Buah!! This is, for me, the best song in the whole game!!
I have to disagree with you. If Nintendo didn't decide to go extremely casual then they probably would still have a bunch of good games out that were as impressionable as the ones in the 90s but you know how the Wii is. All the other systems are about first person shooters and fighting games. Even though I like those genres it all gets generic.
This is imprinted on/in my brain, especially wanting to kill that Mido. Ohhhh, the memoies.
That is a huge over-generalization. Some of us actually hated games that made us think as children, and only realized how awesome games like Zelda were when we found it at the bottom of the game pile after we had forgotten it for five years.
Yeah I know but I think the soundtrack all the tracks are really short though. :-/ Still good
the kids of today are thinking that those games are just as good. You think that those old games are good becaus you were a kid back then :) And so do i.
This classic is only a minute and 18 seconds long? (sigh) Now, FOR THE TEMPLE!
nice game. awesome soundtrack.
SO many great and memorable games back in the late 90's, it was like the developers believed 2000 would be the end of the world and so they put in 110% effort in making the best games possible.
I've honestly been waiting on this one for years.
Good thing I can imagine the sounds of running water, Link's feet shuffling across the grass, the frogs, and the ambiance by myself. One of the most memorable tracks of my childhood--and I think it's safe to say that I'm not the only one who has every song from this game memorized.
There's a cow in my tree house!
Beginning of one of the best game ever created. Thank you, Miyamoto-san!
Mido SLIDIN' through the entrance
so... it took you 520 videos to get to this one? XD
Any reason why it fades at 0:50-ish? Your list still needs Spirit Temple.
When I first heard this song it got stuck in my head, and so did Navi's voice. NO I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN!!!!
I can't listen to this and not be in a good mood. This reminds me of being a kid for some reason. Probably because the kokiri are forever young or because i was around 7ish when I first got this game and this is the first thing I heard. Excellent. 5 stars.
I have a flawless version of this game on Project 64 emulator, and it runs so much faster on PC with todays hardware.
greatest game ever <333
NOSTALGIA
Link: HEY! LISTEN! Navi: Why are you copying my HEY LISTEN? Link: HEY! LISTEN! SHUT UP NAVI!
hello?,heyheyhey;listen,hey,listen,hello?listen,heyhey
Greatest game of all time!!!
Now Lon Lon Ranch needs to get on here soon too...
Yes! OoT is one of the best games ever and this song definitely deserves to be on this list :) Navi: Hey! Listen! Link: (That's gonna get old quick...)
imo the sound quality gives the charm i used to love.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite areas in a video game.
LISTEN!
I think I'm going to replay this game, it's been way too long. Probably after I'm done with Symphonia 2.
Good times!
Ahhh.... great little diddly :)
