Video Game Music
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2015 9:52 pm
I debated whether or not to post this thread, since I know video game music, let alone video games in general, is not something everyone is interested in on this forum, but I figure I might as well give it a try.
There is a video game music thread already, but the last post in it was nearly a decade ago, and it seemed to be Kimba's thread only for posting video game songs.
For this thread, I'll post one video game song per post without double posting. If you guys want to share video game songs as well, go for it, but please only post one song per post. Do not share full soundtracks in this thread.
I'll also include a short description of the song with my thoughts about it. I encourage you guys to do the same.
To start, I'll share a song from a game series that's popular on this forum:
Hyrule Field - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
Classic song that captures the feeling of adventure and exploration very well. The first time you hear this song after leaving the first area of the game (Kokiri Forest) is an awesome one because of that build-up at the beginning of the song leading into the upbeat melody that encompasses the majority of the track. When playing the game, the song also changes to fit the time of day as well, which is pretty cool (with the exception of nighttime, when no music plays at all).
Overall, it's a great song and very iconic of the game it comes from.
