Out of all of the soundtracks I have heard, the legend of zelda has captured me more than any other. From the moment you turn on the game your ears are treated to some of the best music in videogames. This thread is specifically for discussing complex musical scores such as the legend of zelda. If you are a true lover of orchestrated music then this is the place to talk about it.

Personally my favorite soundtrack in a game is The legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Every song is complex and engrosing. Every time you step on a new island or go out to see there is a different beautiful composition waiting for you. Take a listen to the dragon roost island theme

Ocean theme

or The molgera battle theme

What are your favorite soundtracks/musical moments in gaming

Super Metroid and Star Fox are both games that have received orchestrated versions.

I really recommend the Metal versions of TLOZ's soundtracks, they are really amazing, you guys should check them out:

Nocturne of Shadow by Artificial Fear

Those are in mi iPod and I listen them regularily...

I was never in to TLOZ, but as soon as I heard the theme in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I fell in love. It's pretty awesome.

Ocarina of Time's soundtracks were amazing, including the playing of the Ocarina. It fills me with joy each time I hear Saria's Song.
