The 10 best Zelda songs EVER | GamesRadar (http://www.gamesradar.com/wii/f/the-10-best-zelda-songs-ever/a-200803041031924088)
Also: I helped with this list a little!
I wouldn't/didn't pick Z1 Labyrinth as #1, but he makes a decent argument.
Good to see they're doing their part to clear up the SoaD confusion. :)

List is pretty good.
Missing some of my personal favs like "Sanctuary Dungeon" from III and "Ballad of the Wind Fish" from IV.
I personally think "Labyrinth" is #1 though in all fairness the main theme should be #1.
I'm actually pretty damn impressed that they went through the effort of showing which albums contain the tracks they chose.

God, how did I know it would have Saria's song? That's the most overrated track since the FF7 main theme.
Your MOM is the most overrated track since the FF7 main theme.
...
I ain't gonna lie though, LttP Lost Woods theme > Zelda64 Lost Woods theme.

The value of a song is different for each person, therefore rendering the whole list useless. My favorite Zelda songs are the Dark World theme (from Link to the Past) and the Lost Woods (from ocarina), and the majority of the rest are from Zelda 2, so yeah, I don't see any point in a list for this.
I don't need a need a list to tell me which ones are the best, I know which ones that I like the best, so saying stuff like "Yeah, but this song is better because...." is all based off of personal opinions that clash with 1,000 others.
#1 - Labyrinth from Zelda 1? Please.

What in the name of Ganon himself...
That list dont have the "Credits" tune from A Link to the Past!
Blasphemy!!

I hate that "Credits" tune.
And I think the "rating" of the Final Fantasy VII Main Theme is just fine. It's an amazing piece of music. There's a lot of depth to it, a lot of different parts (not the same old A B C loop), and the melody is very pretty.
Doesn't make the game any better though. Fucking hate that piece of shit game FFIV forever whooooo!!
Also, "Saria's Song" is pretty gay. I mean, really. One of my best friends is a total gay and he LOVES that shit. Plays it on the piano all the time.
Therefore, anyone that likes that song is gay.
I'm with ChingChong - LttP Lost Woods theme > Zelda64 Lost Woods theme.

Really? I didn't know that songs have sexual preference! That's amazing - how did you discover that? I better break out the leather pants and head to the pink pony bar down the street now!

Yeah, because since there are some people who like one song more than the other, that makes it better, right? That's some nice logic you constructed there.

You know what, people? You want to know the best Zelda song? I'll tell you. Every fucking on of them, looped back to back.

Why hasn't this been declared a favorites thread and locked yet? It's obviously going that way, and fast.

Labyrinth was a good creepy song but prydef won for nostalgia. I love the hell out of it, but musically there are more fun songs to listen to.
Also, I think it's great that they linked to so many ocremixes.

I'm glad to see that Hyrule Castle got some love. I'm still disappointed that I've never found a remake of it that I've been personally satisfied listening to. All of the orchestrated shit isn't powerful enough to capture the feeling of the original tune.
I also like Death Mountain from Zelda III, but it was not on the list to my disappointment. That one also gets little to no love as far as remakes go.

You know what, people? You want to know the 2.best Zelda song? I'll tell you. 2.Every fucking one of them, looped back to back.
1.When did leather pants become gay? *Takes off leather pants*
2.I concur

I guess they're not necessarily gay. That's just what I came up with at the time.

Tomonobu Itagaki is most certainly not gay. He's the most pussy getting-est mofo. It's all in the leather pants and the shades.

Itagaki is cool as hell, even for the perverted weirdo he is. He's like the Michael Jackson of Japan. errr.. Okay, that's if Michael Jackson wasn't a you-know-what, but anyway.... Moving on now.

Thrilled to see Tal Tal Heights on the list. I would play that midi for hours on my old computer until my brother deleted it. Now that I think about it I'll have to send him the brawl version of that song haha.

So "The Legendary Hero" from Wind Waker (and by extension, my Ancient Hero (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01079/) mix) didn't make the list.
Fail.

^For realz. I sat there just listening to the song instead of continuing the dialog for like ten minutes on my first playthrough.
But eh, it gains plenty of respect points from me for including Dragon Roost.

Ty's song isn't the only Dragon Roost Isle mix though :V. Nick Tam has a deliciously chill mix of that as well.

In all seriousness, where is this mix? I can't seem to find it. I can find references to it, but not the mix itself.

Wow, I agreed with most of the selections on the list, though not necessarily the exact ranking for each song. I think they should have had an "honorable mention" list too. But anyways, I think the Song of Storms, Link's Awakening Credits, Ballad of the Wind Fish, and Ocarina of Time's Hyrule Field should have at least been mentioned. Cool beans though.
