Zelda game with the best music?

I for one think that Wind Waker had the best Zelda music, period. If anyone's heard the "Wind Waker Symphonic Movement" off the Zelda 25th Anniversary CD than they know what I mean when I say that this music is filled with emotion and is breathtaking.

Ocarina of Time with Majora's Mask in second. OoT took the near perfection that is ALTTP and updated it, then adding tons more. The little tunes and so on made the music so memorable and important. Majora's Mask rethough what Zelda music was and made a dark and immersive soundtrack to accompany the emotions the game presents.

Ocarina but Wind Waker pushes it.

WIND WAKER.

Ocarina of Time, with Majora's Mask not too far behind it.

Gotta be Ocarina. Tell me you don't still remember all of the temple tunes by heart.ubergosu

ALttp, WW, and OOT are all really close to me. OOT is probably a bit better then the other two though.

I would say Wind Waker but my heart belongs to Ocarina. I still remember all songs:)

I think WindWaker contains a few of the best individual tracks, the Dragoon Roost and Forest Haven themes come to mind. But I enjoyed the Twilight Princess soundtrack the most over all. OoT and MM are also fantastic. LttP and Skyward Sword are good, but not great. Spirit Tracks has the best over world theme.meetroid8

Much of the soundtrack in A Link to the Past served as the basis for much of the series after it, but I found Wind Waker to have the best mix of original pieces and remixes. In terms of the weakest, personally, Twilight Princess had the worst in terms of compositions and general sound design.

1. Ocarina

2. LTTP/Wind Waker

3. Skyward Sword

Console: A tie between Ocarina, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. :P
Handheld: Spirit Tracks

Take a gander at this song:

Easily one of the best in the series

I personally wish an opera/orchestra version of this awesome LoZ song is made:

WHY!? WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME!?

I am now fixing my ears with some Dragon Roost Island :). Listening to this makes me so excited to see what Zelda 3DS (or WiiU) is going to be like.

Hmmm..that's a toughie.

I'd like to say OoT & TWW.

But if i have to choose,i'll say TWW.

Well in particular when it comes to which game has the strongest soundtrack outside of the game, I definitely go with Ocarina. Sepewrath

Hmm A link to the past for sure.

Everyone go listen :3

I have no idea why people like Ocarina of Time's soundtrack so much. The main theme was boring and with the exception of the spirit temple all the temples just had dull atmosperic background noise. The only standout song is the Gerudo desert one. Overall I'd say A Link To The Past has the best sound track but Twilight Princess's main hyrule theme would be my favorite Zelda song ever.

Only the Spirit Temple had good music? Oh come on now, the Forest Temple track was excellent. It was atmospheric, in fact it is solely responsible for that temple's dark, enigmatic atmosphere. Dull? Maybe when taken out of context, but within that setting it was perfection.

That is a really difficult question. In terms of the overall sound quality, Skyward Sword. Now, as for epic, memorable tunes that really stick with you, I'm at a three way tie between A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time.

Majoras Mask is my favorite game ever, but Ocarina Of Time is my 2nd favorite game and I think Ocarina has the better music than Majora's mask. Tho, I'd say Majoras Mask beats it in every other category, but anyhow, if anyone is interested, check out my youtube channel.... I am doing an Ocarina Of Time walkthrough there. http://www.youtube.com/user/Gaming4You1990/featured

Hm... I don;t know, I'm really torn between ooT and WW.

For handhel;ds, I would probably have to say Link's Awakening.

I'm still going with Link's Awakening. That music is hauntingly beautiful, especially Ballad of the Windfish and that music that plays when you first wake up.

Ballad of the Windfish:

[QUOTE="meetroid8"][QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] i can't remember a single dungeon track in any zelda game. in fact until you guys pointed out i'd say there are no songs in dungeons (aside from that traditional cave music we all know and love) with a straight face and think i'm right. and if that's "good dungeon music", then i'd probably stand by it. atmospheric noise is not music.
