ZDR's top 20 Zelda Songs

So the Zelda Series is my favorite of all time, the action, the cinema, the effects. It's all good. But what really stuck to me and keeps me up at night on my piano is,

the music!

Epic, touching, bringing a tear to the eye. Yes folks I'm talking about the music in the Zelda Series. I'm going to list my favorite 20, least favorite to most favorite.

#20

Woods (Link's Awakening)

This song was very mysterious, not eerie, so much as straight out mysterious. I would give this a higher rank but it was pretty annoying.

#19:

Serenade of Water

This song was a very nice, soothing, elegant song. Playing it felt good and relaxing, mellow. ec. etc. a very fine serenade indeed.

#18:

Clocktown Day I/II/III

This song is very catchy and has a nice rhythm. A nice, happy, song. And the way it speeds up as to dramatize the days passing, a very nice song.

#17:

Market (OoT)

A very strong but subtle nice song. This song would get stuck in your head, but in a good way of course. I find myself humming it when walking down the halls or taking a shower.

#16:

Aliens!!

Remember this song? Nay, it's not quaint, nor is it subtle. It's a creepy, eerie, freaky song resembling THEM.

#15:

Forest Temple (OoT)

This song was pretty creep and forest-y in sound. This did the trick for me to dislike the Forest Temple, not because the song was bad, but again, it was creepy.

#14:

Town (Zelda II)

This song was very catchy and, again, quaint. Very nice and is a tad Pokémonish. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. Pokémon rockzorz.

#13:

Zelda Opening/Great Fairy's Spring

Very beautiful indeed, remember selecting your profile and hearing this song? Yep, this is the one.

#12:

Overworld (Legend of Zelda (Original))

No comment, just was pretty good.

#11:

Temple (Zelda II)

Of course you love the temple from the "black sheep" game. Dramatic, nice, great, what else is there to say?

#10:

Death Mountain (A Link to the Past)

Hey, a great game, a great song. What's not to love? Exactly, nothing. This song was dramatic, catchy, etc. All the works. See this.

#9:

Hyrule Field (Majora's Mask)

Very strong song, and eerie. But still bold and dramatic, baroque one might inquire.

#8:

You gotta love this one. It's catchy, dramatic, and awesome. Maybe not this version of the song so much, but play the game and just stand in the Desert Colossus, you'll see what I mean.

#7:

Song of Storms

Catchy, eerie, dramatic. All the works, I'm sure you heard this one. If you haven't heard the medley from Super Smash Brothers Brawl, you should really get to it. This is the normal version. I don't have a link to the brawl version, if anybody could find it that would be great.

#6:

Overworld (A Link to the Past)

Anyone remember this?? Of course you do, it's one of the greatest songs! Indeed is it dramatic, touching, and gives the player a thrill and makes them really reflect on the series.

#5:

Beautiful.

#4:

Lost Woods/Saria's Song

Great, eerie, mysterious. What more is there to say?

#3:

Song of Healing

Saria's Song backwards, even better. You'd be surprised.

#2:

Hyrule Castle (Wind Waker)

A very nice piece, sad, but nice. Dramatic at times too. What really made this my second favorite is the chorus in that song, you know, duhn, duhn, duhn, duhn, duhn, duhn, duhn, duhn. Well it's hard to type, but, if you listen you'll know what I'm talking about. Sad, and dramatic I'll say again. But it's great.

#1:

Zelda's Lullaby

Great, amazing, one of the best things I've ever heard. Maybe not this version, but definitely one of my favorites.

#0

Yes, I'm including 0. Anyway, you may have noticed I did not say what my number zero is yet, I want it to be a surprise, and I'll make it a spoiler too so you don't have to see it if you don't want. But I'll say, this one did work hard to get there. It's amazing, beautiful, inspiring, totally and utterly awesome. This is what I'm talking about,

It's Ocarina of Time, Ending

It wouldn't hurt if you put Youtube links to those songs in your opening post, so we can enjoy them with you

Ha ha, yeah, I was getting to that.

My computer blocks Youtube, Google Video, metacafe, and if you embed any of the videos from the sites it's a white box

Well, I disagree with some and agree with others. Gotta say, it's good to see a list that's at least rounded out. Usually all I see is either all from WW and up or all from OoT and up. Also, mass love for the "them" theme, long underrated.

;o

The ending from ALttP isn't there, nor is ALttP's credits. Those two were wonderful. Definitely on my top list.

I didn't particularly like the music to the end of ALttP.

I dunno, it was just kind of disappointing.

And Sage of Fire, yes, the Them theme has long been underrated. It's just downright creepy. I feel the same way for the entire game of Majora's Mask.

I wanted to include The Trailer to Twilight Princess, but I just couldn't seem to find enough space.
