10 Best Legend Of Zelda Songs

1. Classic theme

Written by Koji Kondo, this song started as the overworld theme in the first Legend of Zelda and eventually evolved to become the series primary theme song. It has appeared in almost every single Legend of Zelda game and has a vital part to play in the identity of the series. The music has gained such success that many people who have never played the series will likely still recognise the tune.

It feels like a call to adventure, with an excellent marching tempo that perfectly matches the style of the series. The entire game franchise is based around the idea of exploration and discovery, and this theme encompasses that well.

It is one of the most commonly used songs outside of the canon games to signify Hyrule and the characters. In addition to this motifs and elements from it can be found in a lot of other songs, Hyrule Fields for example. When you think of LOZ, it's easy to have this song start playing in your head.
