#23 - Overworld - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

[Choc77777]

Love this tune!

[LadyAubrie]

The best Zelda game ever made.  I know OOT has a *lot* of fans, but...for me...this game can't be topped. :)

[ryukentiger]

this song makes me want to have dinner

[zsybrant]

This. Song. Defines. The 90s. [Well, that, and anything by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.]

[nahum67]

all zelda's soundtrak on this game is awesome and orchestral

[GameMasterSoko]

I adore this song as well almost all the songs on this list. However my one HUGE complaint is that after going through all 30 I saw that the Dark World theme got the shaft. Tis a shame~

[LightSpectra]

Although I haven't played ALttP in something like 10 years, after hearing the first note, I could hum the rest of it perfectly. Dear SNES, I miss you. Love, my childhood~

[jhonh88]

un clasico

[Elbarto2208]

Shigeru Miyamoto : A BIG THANK YOU!!!

Koji Kondo: AN IMMENSE THANK YOU!!

Satoru Iwata : Thank you for being the chairman of this wonderful company!! :)

[StuartJCooke1]

its amazing how often i must of heard this tune and never got bored of it as link marched his way to his next mission happily swiping pesky enemies with his sword sometimes in time to the music :)

[wyvern132]

oh my....I remember playing this so long ago...

[jarannalli]

Man, I love everyone commenting on BSM's pages. I wish we could all have a SNES slumber party! Just like the when I was a kid. (Then called Nintendo Slumber Party)

[Daxel101]

Good times playing this whilst growing up, sharing ideas with old friends on how to get past a certain part of the game. Completed it soooo many times would quite happily sit down and do it all over again. EPIC GAME!! Good times

[PeterOnoLennon]

i like this version a lot more then the nes version, but that's just me.

[BobertAdvance]

so many childhood memories contained in one game. i remember that this was the first Real video game i ever played and that is one of the coolest things ever that you can say that you were born into the SNES era. if you were born into the wii ERA and you say that your first game you ever played was twilight princess or super mario bros wii it just doesnt have the same feel. all these new games are trying to hard.

[jarannalli]

@BobertAdvance

Have you noticed that so many game developers now are trying to return to their roots? Games in the Bit era were just plain better. Period.

[Quincy0047]

aaahhh, the good old overworld theme. Admittedly I had enough of it to last a lifetime when playing the original legend of zelda for NES, but hey. Maybe when I die I'll be able to listen to it and cheer again xD

[GeorgeX01]

SNES has the best 2D graphics in all vieogame history and besides it was one of the first console to try 3D (StarFox, Link to the past intro, etc)

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

nothing in this universe can top the snes-not even god all-mighty!

[andres550]

this is the greatest adventure i've lived on a video game

[flasheric]

this brings back awesome memories...

[nethy6]

Sooo many fond memories flowing in my head!!!

[usurper70]

this game had awesome music. the dark world theme was even better than the light world theme

[BakaNinja17]

It doesn't have to. Even though everyone's talking about something completely different, we are all saying the same thing: ZELDA= EPIC. And that's enough.

[Koitaaaa]

The first game i played!!!! I was 5 years old when i played it and it made me LOVE videogames,thanks Link!!!

[Kerokittycat]

This music is simply awesome, It deserves to be in the top 10

[bengalisch]

EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!

Chrono Triggers music was better overall, but you cant go more nostalgic like this!

[djchexmixer]

Oh man....... nostalgic overload..... As soon as it this tune started bumpin' I was marching around the room punching the air.

[jarannalli]

@djchexmixer Or dashing with your sword in front of you (don't forget to run in place for hald a second before taking off)

[MetalShadow101]

this most deff had to be number 1!!

[GangstaHedgehog]

Shit, it sounds badass in stereo.

[DJRocha23]

I played this game probably 20 times over when I was younger, SNES was more than just a console, it was a way of life. =)

[kayele]

where japanese and american culture meet....video games

[savagex466]

Im from Canada and this game brain washed me at a young age :) i was 6 when i beat it . I love this game ... always have . always will

[4sssc]

Hehe I totally agree ^^

[Yviman]

exacrtly :-)

[Bananinasdasd]

@DJRocha23 still is

[Batmaaaan23]

@DJRocha23 Yes! I remember when I was a kid, being able to wake up on a weekend, and beat this game from start to finish (perfect game of course because everything was memorized). Playing the game never got old =)

[Sacriphyx]

Such great music to a great game. A true classic.

[darkbatu]

umm i like it this game in the numer 10!! xD

[zzco]

Uhh.. WHAT?

Your comment makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

[TeranceHill]

oh I love this game.

[blackbeardmorris]

I like the Hyrule Castle one from this game a lot too.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

How about the music in the village in the light world? THat was some of my favorite music from the game... from any game I've played in the zelda franchise actually...

[RichhhR]

Kakariko Village is really nice, yes.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Oh yeah, that's what it was called! I just looked up Kakariko Village on youtube and I found the song. Thanks!

[NerdilyDone]

Great song!

[Breekachu92]

its the best zelda song! :D i played this game so much when i was a child :p

[Morphogenesis13]

Yeah this music makes you want to leap through the air and stick a sword into a dragons head lol. At least, that is what I get when I hear it haha

[Chrisevil]

Omg this is like one of the best Zelda songs! I personally think it should be lower on the list, by that I mean lower than 23. But, the debates were probably strict and I'm happy it's in the top 30 though! :)

[Asteroidblues18]

You should take some of your rupees and get that witch a nose job. lawl.

[TWMA6]

First Zelda game I ever played!

[Corbinhair]

First Zelda game I ever played, first one I never completed....yet I completed 3 other Zelda games.. IO should go back and finish this one.

[maddhott000]

OMG!!!!!!!! ahhhhh all the memories lol

[greyfox37]

23, you've got to be kidding me. This deserves top 10 recognition. And if Chun-Li's song is better than Ken's and no Super Metroid songs are on here, this opinion sucks

[Stradivarius8457]

Holy shit, because it's different from yours that means it's instantly terrible!

[greyfox37]

Bingo is learning well today!

[nosztram]

This is my favourite version of this song. This was my first Zelda and my favourite game of the series. I love it so much. X.X

[Yviman]

me too. i fell in love with this game one the very beginning

[turddouche2000]

only place 23????????

[falcondude]

This is memorable but I've heard it so much I don't like it any more ._.

[KayneArcheron]

best Zelda overworld music ever... as much as I liked Majora's Mask, It felt like they screwed it up in that game

[EniesLobby]

The sound quality is the only bad thing about it. I love this song so much.

[ShadowXSnake]

I really hope that this game's Hyrule Castle theme is in the top 7 songs, now THAT was a freaking awesome song. I was SO happy when I heard the piano version in Wind Waker. Farewell Hyrule King, hell yes.

XD

[itirnitii]

this song is known by all, but I think this games version of it was indeed the best..

[minaprower13]

That song from that SNES game is awesome.
