Besaid (FFX) is my favorite game track ever. It's subtly complex. It lulls you into a daze with constants, but varies them in subtle ways (strings, drums, synth) to breathe new life. It is a song that can never be truly remade. Like the ocean, it just undulates. Forever.

The Shadow Temple is not like Ocarina of Time’s other temples. It is not a palace or a place of worship. It is a torture chamber. It is a magnet for the evil of Hyrule’s bloody history, kept out of reach where few can find it. As hero, Link must endure night to witness dawn.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest has some of my favorite symphonic rock in gaming. Dark King is a personal standout. -Foreboding intro -Drops hammer w/ kickin rhythm guitar, melodic strings -Snares, toms, bass fill gaps as layered strings ramp tension -Pure 80s prog rock energy

J-E-N-O-V-A (FFVII) is my favorite alien boss theme. -Opening minor synth arpeggio immediately sets eldritch mood -Heavy synth melody amps up otherworldliness -Oscillating strings and timpani raise stakes, threat level -Sick bass riff anchors everything Love this song.

Stone Tower Temple (MM) might be my favorite Zelda dungeon. A Tower of Babel, it mocks the Goddesses and Triforce. As punishment, light arrows flip its ascent to Heaven into a descent to Hell. The architecture and music also invert, tipping upside-down in stone and percussion.
