Lightbulb Zelda montage and I need your help

Ok guys this is what's going down. I'm making a montage to Zelda, I've put this off for far too long. I've made a couple other montages in the past for the Metroid series and they turned out very nice. This one will contain footage from Oot, MM, TWW, and TP. I might get clips from other Zelda games as well if I'm inspired to do so. All footage will be filmed by me, and it won't be none of this crappy camera-at-the-screen **** which bugs the hell out of me, this will be recorded straight from the game into my computer, so I guarantee good quality.

Now in respect to my first love I'm making this and I need your help. The problem is I'm very picky on the type of music I use, it has to have a certain feel to it. I've narrowed my choices down to 4 songs and I want the most popular vote to help decided on which I should use. Making and obtaining the needed footage will take me some time since I have to actually play all of these games to get it. Putting it together will take me a few months aswell so please be patient.

Now that's the easy part, I want you to first take your time and listen to each song that I have bellow, and carefully choose which one best fits the Zelda theme. Then when your done choosing please type down a reason as to why you chose it, and don't just say, "It sounded cool!" or "I thought it was neat!!! lolz"... I don't want a crappy answer like that. Just explain why that certain beat or rhythm moved you into choosing it, what feeling does it give you, and most impotantly.... What overall image does it portray if I use it in a montage. Now you don't have to be that specific but you get the idea, I want to understand why you think it suits a Zelda montage.

And for those of you who are curious as to my last couple of montages here they are:

This was my first montage done 2 years ago. All the footage was from trailers so it doesn't have everything I could have wanted nor is it perfectly synced. Plus I was new at this and it was my first try.

This is my second and my most recent montage. The quality is better for 2 reasons: 1. I'm using a brand new software instead of Windows Movie Maker. And 2. I now get all my footage from the game itself. Yes that's right, all the footage in this video is me actually playing the game and going straight into my PC with a simple but high quality method.



Now here are the songs, please listen carefully and choose which feels best (some of these (like Mitternacht) might need to be "Save Target As"):


1. Mitternacht

2. Vater Unser

3. Requiem for a Tower

4. Over the Hills and Far Away



Alright then, I look forward to the poll results and your opinions. Thanks.
