Top 10 Video Games With the Best Soundtrack
Ocarina of Time has the best soundtrack, and there is no valid argument against that. If you haven't listened to Ocarina of Time's music, then I would SERIOUSLY suggest hearing some of the tracks before you vote. As far as music goes, there is no game that comes closer to perfection.
I love this game so much. I mean, I love Majora's Mask better, mainly because it's been with me forever. Not only is the music amazing in OoT, but the gameplay is stunning too.
My favorite song from this game is the Song of Storms. I also like Saria's Song and Gerudo Valley.
I am still listening to these pieces of music. "The Opened Way" transforms something ordinary into something epic, and "Those Who Remain" brings me to tears. Themes such as "Gatekeeper of the Castle Ruins," "Demise of the Ritual," "A Despair Filled-Farewell," and "Counterattack" are all fabulous.
Music in gaming is better than graphics because it gives an atmosphere to the game. They often do the jobs that gameplay and stories can't, like telling a story or conveying a feeling with only the depth of a track. In the case of SOTC, it suits perfectly.
My true number one isn't here, but this game's music is amazing. Best Mario soundtrack in my opinion, with an epic final boss theme to classics like Gusty Garden Galaxy.
Ocarina has a good track, but it's rather unfair to compare since Ocarina forces music in the game, while Galaxy has beautiful music regardless.
Beautiful and absolutely epic soundtracks. It gives me goosebumps every time. When I told my mom if she remembered the game, she answered, "Oh, is it that game with the beautiful music?"
Well yeah, you're damn right, mom.
Best video game soundtrack. Not so much for the action piece, but for the splendor and beauty. This is a beautiful and majestic game soundtrack.
I think the track "Wind Guide You" exemplifies this game in one song: beautifully epic.
Skyrim has the best soundtrack in the history of gaming. Jeremy Soule really did a great job! Streets of Whiterun is my favorite track in the game because it's so relaxing. This should be number 1.
I cannot think of a game that brings back more memories just by the music than this one! Skyrim is by far the best RPG in my opinion, and I have not seen another that could offer so much for its time. Each time I hear a song, I know exactly where I am.
This game is amazing, and so is its soundtrack. It deserves the number 1 spot. HAIL SITHIS! PRAISE TALOS!
Even if you hate this game, its soundtrack is its redeeming quality.
The soundtrack is very well-composed, with every theme fitting its respective situation. It is consistent in that the individual soundtracks have leitmotifs which connect the soundtracks even if the instruments are completely different. It's also very atmospheric, capturing the essence of the cozy winter town of Snowdin as well as the technologically advanced superstructure known as the CORE, to give you some examples.
From the main theme to the Warthog Run to the final scenes with the memorial, this soundtrack can't be beat.
How is this not already on here? The game has an amazing soundtrack.
The most epic song made for a video game is on this soundtrack. It deserves top marks just for that.
Each song in this game helps create a mood that matches the situation you are in, whether it be an eerie one or one filled with action. Michiru Yamane does a good job blending spooky-sounding music with electric guitar and heavy drums in many of the songs, such as "Tragic Prince" and "Prologue."
One song that achieves a high level of creepiness is "Abandoned Pit," which uses somber piano and sound effects.
Considering how limited the instrumentation was, the musicality is still able to touch modern ears and inspire multiple generations. Bloody Tears is the greatest of all time.
One of my favorite game soundtracks. Also, I don't know why people hate these games so much. They are really, really good, probably way up on my list of favorite games of all time.
I like humming to this soundtrack. Sadly, the same thing cannot be said for Ocarina of Time.
These games are famous for their music. So what do we do? Put it at number 18 underneath Grand Theft Auto, of course!
I listen to this almost every day like normal music. This music is an outstanding tribute to the original in all its glory!
Doom 2016 has some bloody badass soundtracks. But I think Doom Eternal beats Doom 2016. It should be in the top 10 already, like damn.
Heavy metal at its best. It makes the player more aggressive and fast-paced.
An absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack. To the people saying Undertale's soundtrack is the best in any game ever, I challenge them to hold the same opinion after listening to the beautiful ambient tracks this game has to offer.
Theme of Laura is my favorite song of all time, and there isn't a bad song in the game. Akira Yamaoka has yet to outdo himself with this game, and I doubt he ever will. The only other soundtrack to any game that could possibly compete in terms of beauty and ambience might be The Last of Us. But even then, it has yet to win out.
The menu music wasn't half bad, mostly for retro songs (Brawl and Melee especially).
The orchestra and rock combine to give off the perfect atmosphere at the perfect time. This should be WAY higher on the list!
This game had THE BEST soundtrack! Rock and roll, orchestral, deep intense drops, and battle-ready music!
This is the best soundtrack, not the third best.
Have a team create a collection of revised, restored, classic Nintendo soundtracks like Mute City and Hyrule Temple, and have them do it successfully; This was no easy task. I give credit to the Staff for assembling such a masterpiece.
Excellent soundtracks for stages, including Temple and Fire Emblem Temple (later renamed to Story 5 Meeting).
The music is very tragic. Love it's soundtracks so much. Thanks Nintendo.
AMAZING! Simply epic in every sense of the word. This game's soundtrack grabs you, pulls you in, and never EVER lets go! The soundtrack is emotionally engrossing. The main title theme alone was so beautiful that I cried a little.
It's so good that it's the first video game to ever be nominated for a GRAMMY, giving video games the respect they deserve.
Why the heck isn't this on this list?! It was the only video game to win a Grammy Award!
Absolutely phenomenal soundtrack. Yeah, I know Sonic games almost always have great music (even Sonic 06', a terrible game, had awesome music), but come on. It's just incredible.
I couldn't believe this wasn't #1. Amazing instrumentals. This blows me away, along with the game.
Why isn't this number 1? The entrance theme is very emotional and hits you like no other.
Perfect soundtrack. So catchy! Get stupid Skyrim out. I don't even remember one song from Skyrim. It's such a forgettable soundtrack.
I love Mega Man's soundtrack. It is awesome.
Epic battle music, beautiful environmental music, and memorable story music. What's not to love?
Beautiful background score. Leaves you enchanted.
Not my favorite, but it should at least be in the top 10.
One of my all-time favorites. Every track is gold. Some of my favorites are:
- Dependent Weakling
- Weight of the World
- Bipolar Nightmare
- The Tower
- A Beautiful Song
