Posted on March 28 2020 by Charles Xavier
With our Musical March Madness rapidly concluding for the year, I feel like this is a perfect opportunity to propose a musical related question. Our bracket style tournament pits various individual songs against each other, what I’m interested to learn is which Zelda game fans consider to have the best soundtrack?
As the popularity of The Legend of Zelda franchise rose, Nintendo was able to devote more quality to the series’ games, and this included adding full orchestrated soundtracks which have taken the heavily music-oriented games to new heights. Music quality may not be the defining factor in this debate on which game has the best soundtrack, though. Some games boast a list of iconic tunes, despite having either outdated sound quality, or synthesized music rather than a live orchestra.
So, which game do you think has the best soundtrack? For the game you choose, what makes it’s soundtrack stand out for you? We’re interested to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
