About this Countdown:

Regarding the music chosen in this list: In the case that a theme appears in multiple games, I chose the version I preferred; All the music in this list is represented as it is heard in the game (no arrangements); Music from action RPGs are included at my discretion (as in, what I consider to be either an action RPG or an action/adventure game avid RPG players are likely to play and/or enjoy for the same or similar reasons they would any other RPG).

@Darkjediiii i know i may get downthumbed for this... but im right.

this game might not be put under the genra of "rpg", but it is a rold playing game.

you are PLAYING the ROLE of WANDA!!! as he hunts down all of the colossi, to revive a sacrificed friend!!

"A role-playing game (RPG; often roleplaying game) is a game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters.[1] Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization,"

[LeonaRulez]

what do you mean character progression? Link never said a word and we didnt really hear him express his feelings or progress as a character. Yet that is the most famous RPG of them all.

[duckhunters1]

Oh great,BIG BIRD INCOMING!

[Wolfark22]

Three words...

best.

soundtrack.

EVAR

[RedBigButton]

I got so happy when I found this in the list <3

[CorvetteBG]

@arisblaze And of minesweeper, age of empires, most of the puzzle games, 70% of the flash games, and many more.

[arisblaze]

@FFVIIIFanatic Nope, not every game... ever hear of Tetris?

[SirKintaros]

you didnt include STAR OCEAN 4 BLOOD ON THE KEYS!!! its awesome~ u guys should download the bgm and listen to it

[MirageSeraph]

this song reminds me of trying to find a way around the developers and fight the colossi MY WAY... you know, the way thats called the shortcut by most but actually makes you spend twice as long getting to their vitals... that and gliching the heck out of your parachute.

[naminegirl21]

epic of epic epicness starts at 0:54

[ProtoPunk14]

By that definition, any Mario game would be considered an RPG... The definition of an RPG is: a game with an in-depth statistical system.

[abivip]

when i hear this song i think about when im running from the fast colossi the one you have to drop pillars on.
