    Here, say what your favorite song from the Legend of Zelda is. Any game works, even the CD-i games (but you WILL be held accountable for bringing those up). Just post a video of the song if it hasn't already been said. Mine is, of course, the Song of Storms:

    Song of Storms is also one of my favs, and Tsukasa Masuko did an excellent job on arranging it for SSBB (I also love his work on the older Shin Megami Tensei titles).

    Most of my favorite Zelda songs, however, come from handheld Zelda titles, so I'll post a few of those:

    Sword Search (Link's Awakening)

      


    Skull Dungeon (Oracle of Ages)
      


    Staff Roll (Minish Cap)
      


    And a more recent theme for good measure:

    Blizzeta 2nd Phase (Twilight Princess)

    Hoo boy!  There are so many great songs in this series.  Twilight Princess stands out to me in particular.  It's impossible for me to narrow it down to just one, but among my favorites are:

    • Temple of Time (Ocarina of Time) - the chant is awesome and really makes me feel like I'm walking on sacred grounds.  I hit the floor when the theme made a "cameo" in Twilight Princess.
    • Snowpeak (Twilight Princess) - the choir lightly in the background, combined with the wind sound and the plucked, echoed strings create such a feeling of desolation.
    • Lake Hylia (Twilight Princess) - the opposite of Snowpeak.  It's so calming.
    • Title Theme (Twilight Princess) - I love the ending of this - with the wolf howl and those violin Twilight theme notes.
    • Ocean Theme (Wind Waker) - very heroic sounding.  Good traveling music (thank goodness, cause that ocean is huge).
    • End Credits 2 (Twilight Princess) - The whole thing is good, but the last 50 seconds of this is sooo powerful.
    • Twilight Theme (Twilight Princess) - all the echoes,  reverb, and different movements, instruments, and melodies portray the confusing, bizzare, and depressing nature of the Twilight Realm impeccably.
    • Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess) - I love this one!  The first part just broadcasts lonliness and abandonment.  But the following parts (as you ascend the staircases), the castle theme slowly turns into Ganon's theme, and it just becomes more overpowering and menacing.  Perfect.
    • Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time) - from v1.0 - the one with the chant.  That chant was awesome and added to the spirituality of this temple.

    A site worth checking out if you enjoy Zelda music is Zelda ReOrchestrated.  These guys remade a TON of Zelda songs so they sound, well, orchestrated.   And they're all free to download!

    Yes.  Yes it does.  Please turn in your gaming license to the receptionist on your way out please.

    Just kidding, man!  :)  But that's too bad, because I think you've missed/are missing out on some of the best video games ever made.

    Oh, and the music in them is awesome too ;)

    Yup, I think the Wind Waker theme is the best. Specifically, the ending credits:

    I think its ok. Going back to Hyrule after its been underwater was awesome. Visiting the temple and monuments was awesome! At least Hyrule will always be preserved.

    Totally, if Nintendo is that smart, hopefully someday... That was my favorite part of wind waker, going underwater.

    I'm not sure. I like a lot of them.

    It might be Dancer from Majora's Mask. You know, the song you hear when you see the two dancing girls. Remember the guy on the mushroom thing who dances and gives you his mask as he dies? Whenever you put the mask on, it plays. Obviously, you show the girls the dance with the mask on later.
