@lazed6480 well yeah, but that's actually not why lol. OOT was my first Zelda game and with Zelda's Lullaby being a central part of it, it really had an impact on me. As for Ballad of the Goddess, I didn't have the means to play Skyward Sword for a long time after it came out, so I spent a lot of time listening to the theme and wishing I could play it. When I finally got to play it myself and heard the theme in game for the first time it just made me SO happy, and since then it's been my favorite Zelda theme
For my wedding(recently), me and my husband had decided to play the fairy fountain music as I walked down the aisle, and when it came to finally saying yes, we let the Gerudo Valley theme play. It was very hard not to smile on such a great and unforgettable moment. Yes, we made it Legend of Zelda themed. Even had edible Silent Princesses decorated on the cake. 😊 We had a lot of stuff themed after our favorite game
It clearly does considering it started some kind of time paradox or something Like he teaches you the song and then you can go back and teach it to him so he can teach it to you in the future
OoT is one of if not the greatest game soundtrack ever made. Others of the best imo in no particular order are: Minecraft (duh) Celeste Hollow Knight BotW+TotK (duh) Skyward Sword Majora’s Mask A link to the Past Mario Galaxy 1+2 Super Mario World Mario Odyssey Undertale Literally every smash game do they even count though Mariokart 8 deluxe Of the Marios, Odyssey has to be my favorite soundtrack beating galaxy 1 by just a smidge Of the Zelda’s, honestly I have gone back and forth between botw and OoT for years. I think OoT is more consistently good while botw has a more defined and consistent style. I’ll go with oot. Zelda is definitely the best franchise both musically and gameplay wise but my favorite single game is not a Nintendo game but Celeste. Also I have listened to that soundtrack more than any other with the only possible exception being Minecraft, the game I have played the most hours of.
Kass just hits different when you are wondering around hyrule and you here his theme int he distance and you approach him ready for a shrine quest or a good song
Wow, some big hitters missing from here. Was waiting for Serenade of Water, Link's House/Inside a House, Tal Tal Heights and Ballad of the Windfish to come up and getting more and more surprised the longer it went on...still, shows how amazing Zelda music has been over the years that 50 songs just isn't a big enough list!
I think you forgot Final Hours from Majora's Mask, because of -all the emotions it brings even today -the 1.7 Million views it has on youtube this music would at least be 30th in this ranking (although it's clearly one of my favourites)
I love that there are so many songs from BOTW here, it barely feels like years have passed since its release... They evoke so much of my nostalgia. Though I've played other older Zelda games (Skyward Sword/ Twilight Princess/ A Link Between Worlds/ Phantom Hourglass) and TOTK as well, BOTW is stuck in my heart as the most memorable one.
I litteraly thougth in the half when the Overworld theme wold come in clutch, but when i was in top 10 I thought Song of Storm would easily be number one. But when I heard it in third place I didn’t knew which banger I missed. But obviously it’s one of the best.
The only song I am suprised didnt make this list is the Tears of the Kingdom reveal trailer theme. That is the one with the powerful saxaphone bass-drop in the middle.
4 out of top 5 from OOT❤🎉. I begrudgingly agree with 1st place but Gerudo Valley should have been a very close 2nd. When you listen to it done by a Spanish Flamenco ensemble 👌.
7:45 You omitted the opening and you are all kinds of wrong for that! Lucky for you, it doesn't take away from how powerful and bombastic this song is. I wish it had placed higher, but I'm not surprised it's in the Top 50. This overworld theme is my favorite of all the Zelda games I've played.
god those make it all so nostalgic back to the days where I played them or whatched Let's plays man time moves. I really want a "classic" Zelda game again

#13 is the most underrated Zelda song in my opinion, even in the game itself. The orchestrated version is full of pomp and power, and it never showed up in Skyward Sword. I thought it would have had a place to dramatically show up, but alas, it never happened. We got lighthearted, slower versions in a lot of different forms, but never the powerful version.
thx for the vidéo ! i made myself a personal blind test where i closed my eyes and try to recognize the music, it was fun, and full of nostalgia, and a really good vibe, thx !
It brings me much joy that the overworld theme from Spirit Tracks is not only the sole entry from a handheld Zelda title, but it also ranks quite high - especially considering how many tunes from BotW and OoT there are!
OOT is the masterpiece of Zelda's Franchise. One of the best videogames ever made and of course almost all its tracks are in this list. If I have to choose my favourite, it is definitely "Gerudo Valley" theme: a Flamenco theme so good that actually sounds as it is composed by a spaniard, but actually was composed by a japanese. That piece of music is just incredible.
I’m a little saddened Link’s Awakening didn’t get a rep on this list and I don’t understand why. The Tal Tal Mountain theme and ballad of the wind fish are the game’s highlights. You’d think both songs would make it in rather than the mountain of Breath and Tears songs that don’t deserve the popularity.
Right!? I love Sword Search too. So many great songs that are overlooked because of BotW. Don't get me wrong there are some amazing BotW songs but the amount on this list that aren't as good as some previous games is crazy. Legendary Hero and the Wind Waker theme are 2 of my favorites
I agree it is, people might get mad for this but I like twilight princess just a teensy bit better, and why the heck was midnas lament only 19th? It should have been AT LEAST top 10 if not top 5. Same with the ocarina of time title screen
My three favorite theme soundtracks are in no particular order, Ocarina of Time - N64, Maniac Mansion - NES, ICO - PS2. ....... runner-up, Monkey Island.
i like the TOTK songs way more than the BOTW songs. i dont remember any songs of BOTW. the them song o TOTK alone is so incredible!!! really surprising that people prever them
Realm overworld has to be solidly one of the hardest songs in this entire list, it’s just a shame that the game is so underrated! Honestly an incredible ost.
Enjoy this big compilation of the 50 most popular Zelda music! Which one is your favorite?
I hope there will be the legend of zelda movie.

I legit got emotional hearing Ballad of the Goddess and Zelda's Lullaby right next to each other, those two are my FAVORITE
It makes sense that they're both your favorite cause Ballad of the Goddess is Zelda's Lullaby in reverse iirc
@lazed6480 well yeah, but that's actually not why lol. OOT was my first Zelda game and with Zelda's Lullaby being a central part of it, it really had an impact on me.

I like zelda’s lullaby only because of terrako
@@RouieGutierrezTERRAKO BOY
I love Zelda lullaby.
For my wedding(recently), me and my husband had decided to play the fairy fountain music as I walked down the aisle, and when it came to finally saying yes, we let the Gerudo Valley theme play. It was very hard not to smile on such a great and unforgettable moment. Yes, we made it Legend of Zelda themed. Even had edible Silent Princesses decorated on the cake. 😊 We had a lot of stuff themed after our favorite game
Happy for you 🥲
I plan on having my brother play Ballad of the Wind Fish at my wedding. The edible Silent Princess is awesome. I might have to do something like that.
lol that’s awesome! I got married this past spring, and it wasn’t Zelda themed unfortunately… I do have a triforce tattoo on my wrist though 😜
Damn that's so cool
thats so fucking lit ngl holy shit
I could listen to Gerudo Valley forever…
Also: I really hope they use some of this music in the Legend of Zelda movie!!!
They gotta have gerudo valley!
Should have been first place
congrats, link you are the hero of hyrule@Link_of_hyrule334
if they dont I wont watch it xD
I think it’s going to be Sony…
fairy fountain will forever have a place in my heart
Since 1997, I haven't been able to take "Song of Storms" out of my head. That song must have some real weird powers in it.😅
but the song came out in 1998, how did you get it in your head before it existed?
@@GalacticDragonsPuppeteer 1998 then.
Round and round the windmill goes
It clearly does considering it started some kind of time paradox or something
Like he teaches you the song and then you can go back and teach it to him so he can teach it to you in the future
Song of storms dosent really *sound* like a storm but i still like it
In my opinion Ocarina of Time is by far the best Zelda soundtrack of the entire series
But you gotta admit, the Zelda 1 overworld theme is fire 🔥
in my opinion a link to the past is the best, but oot is so nostalgic
OoT is one of if not the greatest game soundtrack ever made. Others of the best imo in no particular order are:
Minecraft (duh)
Celeste
Hollow Knight
BotW+TotK (duh)
Skyward Sword
Majora’s Mask
A link to the Past
Mario Galaxy 1+2
Super Mario World
Mario Odyssey
Undertale
Literally every smash game do they even count though
Mariokart 8 deluxe
Of the Marios, Odyssey has to be my favorite soundtrack beating galaxy 1 by just a smidge
Of the Zelda’s, honestly I have gone back and forth between botw and OoT for years. I think OoT is more consistently good while botw has a more defined and consistent style. I’ll go with oot.
Zelda is definitely the best franchise both musically and gameplay wise but my favorite single game is not a Nintendo game but Celeste. Also I have listened to that soundtrack more than any other with the only possible exception being Minecraft, the game I have played the most hours of.
I like twilight princess soundtrack
100% kinda sad oot theme wasnt number 1
I’ve always loved Kass and Mipha’s theme!
Yeah it’s BOTW so it’s good😏
Mipha's the best one
Kass just hits different when you are wondering around hyrule and you here his theme int he distance and you approach him ready for a shrine quest or a good song
Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask's songs will always be remembered iconic
I'm genuinely surprised the Guardian Stalker one isn't on here.
This probably just isn't accurate. Still amazing though.
I think it’s because people generally don’t like shitting their pants.
Ah the anxiety theme
Same
it should at least be in 29th place, since the video i just searched up has 2 mil views
just love how the colours fit the song
I agree
Your rendition of Revali's theme is the best rendition I've ever heard, we need a full version of it!
I've always loved Lon Lon Ranch. As a kid, I would go there once the puzzles got too hard and just listen to the music.
Lon lon Ranch and Saria's song always move me
same bro, lonlon ranch is such a safe place for real, and malon was so precious
SHUT UP!
The Zelda series will always be the best when it comes to music.
真的很好聽,薩爾達系列歌曲是我的最愛😊
I would have agreed but some indie game music is just 2 good
And gaming in general!
Pokemon
I love zelda

There in 85 top
That arrangement of Kakariko in the beginning was really superb, with the chords accompanying the melody!
Link to the past was the start of my Zelda career. It brings back so many memories.
same young blud
Agree bros
"chill, its just a game"
the game:
I'm so happy that clock town, healing song and stone tower temple are on top 50. Majora's mask is my favourite zelda game.
Who?
@@miguelcoyotl2164 I Don't Unterstand your question
Oath to Order was my favorite and it wasn’t on here.
Why is clock town daruk’s and colgera’s all in the *bottom?* All innmy top 20 ya know
I think you forgot Final Hours from Majora's Mask, because of
-all the emotions it brings even today
-the 1.7 Million views it has on youtube
this music would at least be 30th in this ranking (although it's clearly one of my favourites)
Im not surprised mipha’s and final hours are both in saddest zelda music
Song of storms must be one of greatest hits of the entire zelda series
Yes 👍🖐️👍 ASAP
YES
I was shocked when I didn't saw the Zelda theme in first place, but when the overworld theme showed up, I get it
It’s just such a perfect “adventure” theme, even after all this time it totally embodies the spirit of the Zelda games.
I love that there are so many songs from BOTW here, it barely feels like years have passed since its release... They evoke so much of my nostalgia.
Though I've played other older Zelda games (Skyward Sword/ Twilight Princess/ A Link Between Worlds/ Phantom Hourglass) and TOTK as well, BOTW is stuck in my heart as the most memorable one.
It truly is a masterpiece. And that lonely post apocalyptic atmosphere just makes it so unique
Listening to Zelda and Chill while I sleep has helped me a lot with this
Legit no other game has such a library of straight fire soundtracks
nice choice of color themes for the songs
Dragon roost island. Favorite zelda track from my favorite zelda game.
Riding is one of my favorites from Breath of the Wild! it's such a masterpiece!
There's actually riding day and riding night (that one was day)
I like how the colour of the notes correspond to the image next to it
Zelda's Lullaby will probably always be my favorite. There is a lot of beautiful songs up there.. but for me its always been the stand out.
Its 3 in my top 20
How is outset island 49th 😭
We Need Some Tears of the Kingdom Music
Wind waker was my first Zelda game but after playing ocarina of time and botw I can definitely see how it’s 49th
@@kobe3941same bro same
Should it be ranked lower or higher?
“Games aren’t memorable. It’s just pixels on a screen”
Zelda:
31st place Riding, it's so good! Whenever you are riding your horse, it's such a nice song to listen to
I litteraly thougth in the half when the Overworld theme wold come in clutch, but when i was in top 10 I thought Song of Storm would easily be number one. But when I heard it in third place I didn’t knew which banger I missed. But obviously it’s one of the best.
It's amazing that these songs feel nostalgic to me even though I've only played botw and totk 😊
That's why nintendo, especially in the zelda franchise, is making so much older games references trought the soundtrack in every new games
Me too
probably because of smash bros melee brawl and ultimate as well a lot of these tracks are in smash
probably because of smash bros melee brawl and ultimate as well a lot of these tracks are in smash
There are a lot of very nice subtle (and not so subtle) callbacks and motifs in botw and totk that reference the past games!
The only song I am suprised didnt make this list is the Tears of the Kingdom reveal trailer theme. That is the one with the powerful saxaphone bass-drop in the middle.
The fairy fountain theme is so ethereal
Midnas lament and the molgera songs are one after the other and that makes me happy cuz those are my top 2 childhood songs✨️
Bro Ballad of the Goddess is an amazing song and needs to be cherished I'm going to play skyward sword right now
You beat it yet
@ yes I did and I’ll do it a million more times
@@mr.gameguy8326 I did not expect you to reply
Thank you so much for all you have done. I won't forget how many of my years you have made better ❤
I'm really surprised how high Mipha's theme was, but I'm glad it's there considering she's my favorite champion in BOTW
Im suprised lost woods isnt first place its the first thing that comes to my head when i think of a zelda song
Not even kokiri forest gerudo valley or hyrule field??
Seeing AoC Ganon on the right at 2:50 made me almost click off because I don’t want any music spoilers past the champions
4 out of top 5 from OOT❤🎉. I begrudgingly agree with 1st place but Gerudo Valley should have been a very close 2nd. When you listen to it done by a Spanish Flamenco ensemble 👌.
Song of Healing is like...a whole another level of greatness

give it another year and guarantee colgera will jump up like 10 places. its just a banger.

Im kinda disappointed that the Molduga's Theme wasn't on the list. I used to just sit on the pillars so i could listen to it. Honestly such a jam
I'm a little sad not a single GB/GBC title OST made it on the list. People don't listen to these enough it seems.
Well, the music is very limited by the game boy hardware, so I’m not surprised
This. Idea makes you realize how good the sound tracks re in the Zelda franchise

Nice but some havent been metioned I guess? Spirit temple OoT, Forest Temple OoT, Final hours MM?
I love how totk main theme is most played part, really shows how good the game is
Zelda has the best music on planet earth in my opinion
Song of Storms deserves his 3rd place.
Kakariko village is the most nostalgic for me😭
Song of storms sounds like game of throns for some reason😂
