I’m shocked you didn’t pick the Guardians fear-inducing panic music for BotW

[Iffondrel]

Midna's Lament still gives me absolute chills to this day. The fact that it's a back-and-forth between Midna's theme and Link's own motif sticks with me so much. Like fuck. Music has always played a significant role in the series, but this track especially is like a conversation, and it's so damn beautiful.

[solaria]

the Colgera theme is hands down one of the best tracks ever produced in the series and it brings that nostalgic feel, but the main theme for Tears of the Kingdom will never fail to bring literal chills in me every time I hear it.

[ADistantWail]

In Tears of the Kingdom, the ominously escalating music and chants that play as you descend closer and closer to Ganondorf is insane, and his full battle theme as well. There is a part during the second phase that plays a short, adrenaline pumping choir underlined with fast strings that was also used in the main trailer; if you know, you know. That was one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

[GraceDanger]

I will forever be outraged that Kass wasn't in TOTK. Always loved hearing his song softly playing out in the wilds and going to find him!
Wonderful video!

[rolandmeixner]

Man, I wish the Zelda OSTs were available on Spotify.

[angstyuchiha]

Ballad of the Goddess is just such a perfect theme imo. I listened to it so much before I had the chance to play Skyward Sword, and hearing it for the first time in game was absolutely incredible! I feel like it captures the feeling of flying through the skies, exploring new places, and having an adventure for the ages

[billyrubin]

Zora’s domain theme in Oot is eternally underrated. And wind waker’s farewell Hyrule king is a perfect piano tearjerker.

[AlwaysLFK]

Zelda is probably the only series where I can hear snippets of the music and feel that tingle in the back of my throat like I’m going to cry. So iconic and beautiful.

[Dreamknight]

Weird opinion but I absolutely love Fi and "Fi's farewell" still moves me to tears remembering when I had to say goodbye to a friend that I watched grow from a reluctant guide to my closest friend and realizing as much as link will miss her, Fi has eternity to miss her first friend.

[KiryuuYoshiya]

gerudo valley and song of storms will always be some of my favorite vgm tracks ever. infinitely catchy

[jessedellross]

TP opening theme is amazing. The music, the choir, the violin at the end and that iconic wolf howl.

Gives me chills everytime

[medmusician]

For Twilight Princess, I particularly like how Midna's Lament also creates a major sense of anxiety for you while you scramble to save Midna's life. The sense of urgency that I felt in the music was very impressive.

[AustinJohnPlays]

Saria's Song/Lost Woods Theme is THE Zelda Bop.
Edit: Great minds think alike :)
Edit 2: Thanks for reminding me that I haven't watch Mr. Mr. Acordian's Kass Theme today.

[eveez]

Midna's Lament is truly sorrowful and so beautiful at the same time I love it

[NunyaBesnas]

Zeltik could make a video about the coolest trees in each Zelda game and I’d watch it.

[dorianwiesner]

I think the third trailer soundtrack of TotK deserves at least some attention. Its an absolute masterpiece and I still get goosebumps from it. Too bad we haven't a version without the soundeffects yet

[hillybeverly]

I think the Clocktown theme in Majora's Mask is more recognizable than the Healing Song. Plus the sense of urgency felt on the third day it has.

[robinkisser]

i agree about the totk music. as someone who has played every single zelda game known to man, the totk music BLEW ME AWAY. i grew up in a very musical family, so i learned many instruments, was in band and choir and hyperfixates on music, totk's soundtrack hits so many spots and it makes me cry in many areas...i think i actually cried for about 20 minutes when we got the final trailer for totk because it moved me so much. it hit home and it encapsulates what the zelda series is; an epic adventure .
