''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'''s [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]. You surprised that there's a lot of it here? [[Trope Overdosed|We aren't]]. [http://www.zreomusic.com Neither are these guys.]

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvw0Q_o3cjA Symmetry City's] theme is cheery and catchy, but the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrLWFPlXu4w melancholy remix] that plays in the past is far more poignant.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1xZp3LlVP0 It starts with the opening.] Yes, it's the fairy fountain theme again, but there's something inexplicably awesome about the 'backbone' of the track that the other versions lack.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aePE5JVqU9w Zelda's Theme] sees a lot more use than usual, this time around-- and the variations go from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJLXF48ENxw soothing] (moreso than usual, at least) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1pGBKmkFHc adorably awkward] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5KTO4xSqHo vaguely epic], if not a touch repetitive.
** And then there's... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDpDq6M3vGI this] which is exactly what you'd expect from a sequence that involves [[It's Been Done|sneaking around the castle courtyard]] [[Stealth -Based Mission|and avoiding guards.]] It would have been right at home in Ocarina of Time, too.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDEJeMxA5vE Underwater] is a nice, soothing track, to boot.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkyMKOJMIcA "Saying Goodbye"] is a [[Tear Jerker]] distilled into musical form. Especially after the short track that accompanied {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death|Byrne's]] [[Heel Face Turn]] and [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}} Beware-- the title of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWUJVZLWadg this song] contains spoilers in and of itself.

* While not in-game, the medley played by an orchestra at Nintendo's 2011 E3 conference for Zelda's 25th Anniversery was intended as a preview of how high quality ''Skyward Sword's'' orchestrated soundtrack will be. Listen to a cleaned up version [http://www.crew.co.ba/ZI/e3_mixdown.mp3 here]{{Dead link}}.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onGWF8mz1Zw Anvil of Crom/Riders of Doom] from [[Conan the Barbarian]], which has undergone [[The Elfman Effect]] by being the BGM of several Zelda trailers from [[Ocarina of Time]] onwards. But probably the most epic usage was in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73I-S49NFI E3 2004 Twilight Princess trailer], which set the [[Darker and Edgier]] tone [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|quite nicely.]]

== Majora's Mask: ==
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509065540/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-08_Clock_Town_-_Day_1.mp3 Clock Town Day 1] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509062240/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-08_Clock_Town_-_Day_1_Redux.mp3 Clock Town Day 1 Redux ]. Oh ZREO! Why did you have to remix something already so fantastic!
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509070343/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-13_Clock_Town_-_Day_2.mp3 Clock Town Day 2] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509070349/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-13_Clock_Town_-_Day_2_Redux.mp3 Clock Town Day 2 Redux]. The kind of song you want to wake up to. The crispier remix makes it feels like every day is going to be a brand new adventure.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509064339/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-19_Clock_Town_-_Day_3.mp3 Clock Town Day 3]. Probably the most horrifying and apocalyptic tune from ''Majora's Mask''. It's no longer hiding behind the happy and cheerful first and second day song like the original, it's bursting out, drowning out the barely audible happy foreground and proclaiming: YOU. ARE. GOING. TO. DIE.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509021541/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/2-45_Calling_the_Four_Giants.mp3 Calling the Four Giants]. It really emanates the sense of weariness and sadness from the giants part as everything around them is falling apart.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509064906/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-24_The_Final_Hour.mp3 The Final Hour]. "We shall greet the morning...together". One of the best moments in the game.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509062826/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/1-29_Song_of_Healing.mp3 Song of Healing]. It's so heartwarming!

* They manage to make the Pirate's Fortress pure, concentrated [http://www.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/2-24_Pirates%27_Fortress_Redux.mp3 EPIC].
* Stone Tower Temple is an excellent piece of music. And then ZREO took it and made it [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509014819/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/06_Majora%27s_Mask/2-44_Stone_Tower_Temple.mp3 amazing].

* Hyrule Field: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509064640/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/11_Twilight_Princess/14_Hyrule_Field_on_Horse.mp3 On Horse]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509064618/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/11_Twilight_Princess/07_Hyrule_Field_on_Foot.mp3 and On Foot]. Fantastic orchestral remixes that capture the adventure.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120509024418/http://static.zreomusic.com/music/11_Twilight_Princess/10_Enter_Ilia.mp3 Enter Ilia]. Ilia has one of the best themes in the game, up there with Midna's theme. Speaking of...
