Zelda Dungeon Presents: The Best Zelda Music Ever List!
Posted on February 24 2018 by Andy Spiteri
Welcome Zelda Dungeon faithful to the Best Zelda Music Ever List!
You might recall a few months ago, we gathered the writing staff here at Zelda Dungeon and tasked them with ranking the Zelda games, in order of their favorite to least favorite. Well, to give Music Week the grand send off that it deserves, we’ve taken that idea and pushed it to the next level.
This time, not only the writing staff, but every member of the Zelda Dungeon team, from writers to social media coordinators to streamers and everyone in between, was tasked with submitting their Top 10 Zelda Music tracks. Points were assigned based on that list – 10 for the first overall pick, 9 for the second, etc.
What we came up with was a wonderfully diverse list of iconic Zelda tracks, tunes that maybe slip under the radar, and easy listening from start to finish. Although you could probably make a list of the Top 500 Zelda songs of all time, we decided to narrow it down to only 50.
So without further ado… take a look at Zelda Dungeon’s Best Zelda Music Ever List as well as some fun stats for you all to see.
