The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Gerudo Valley (Koji Kondo).The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - Tal Tal Heights.The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Kakariko Village (Koji Kondo).The Legend of Zelda - Overworld (Koji Kondo).While veteran Nintendo composer Koji Kondo might not compose much for later Zeldas, his influence and direction is still followed to this day, making The Legend of Zelda franchise an easy pick for number two on our list.
BLOCKLAND FAMICOM COLORSET SERIES
Dating back to the original NES hit, moving from there to its black sheep sequel, then the blueprint for which all 2D Zelda games are measured with A Link to the Past, the 3D Zelda games with Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword, the music in the series is always sensational. Kirby's Return to Dream Land - Cookie Country (Hirokazo Ando & Jun Ishikawa)Ī series known for its famous main theme, The Legend of Zelda series features many other recurring themes such as Zelda's Lullaby, the theme played when selecting a file, Hyrule Castle, Kakariko Village, among others.Kirby's Epic Yarn - Lava Landing (Tomoya Tomita).Kirby Air Ride - Checker Knights (Akira Miyagawa, Hirokazu Ando, Shogo Sakai, Tadashi Ikegami, Jun Ishikawa).Kirby Super Star - Peanut Plain (Jun Ishikawa, Dan Miyakawa).Kirby's Dream Land - Green Greens (Jun Ishikawa).Through Kirby's Adventure, various spin-offs like Block Land and Air Ride, games on both consoles (Super Star, Dream Land 3, Kirby 64, Return to Dream Land) and handhelds (Dream Land 2, Amazing Mirror, Canvas Curse, Mass Attack), the series has held a high standard for its cute and whimsical music. With his debut in Kirby's Dream Land on Game Boy, many recurring themes were born that have continued to be heard throughout the franchise's life. The pink puffball has starred in so many games across so many genres, across so many systems, across so many console generations. Masahiro Sakurai's creation is number nine on our countdown. Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat - Sky Garden (Mahito Yokota).Donkey Kong 64 - Hideout (Grant Kirkhope).Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble - Stilt Village (Eveline Fischer).Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - Lockjaw's Saga (David Wise).Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambiance (David Wise, Eveline Fischer Novakovic, Robin Beanland).There's no doubt that Nintendo's main monkey has earned himself a spot on our list. Then there's Donkey Kong 64, though this soundtrack is more akin to Banjo-Kazooie than the SNES trilogy, and there's Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, a game whose composer would go on to score the Super Mario Galaxy games.
The most obvious of these is the Donkey Kong Country trilogy.
From the humble chiptune theme from the arcade game to his rebirth as a platforming hero in Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong has seen a lot of action over the years, and he's had a whole heaping of great soundtracks. Donkey Kong is one of gaming's oldest mascots, so he has a lot of history to him.
