Talking about Ocarina of Time, here.

This didn't used ot get me when I was younger, but as I got older Navi flying away really started to get to me. I guess it was just the fact of her leaving, but that's not really it either. I connected to her more as I grew up - I still get chills in the fight with Ganon when she says "He won't hold me back again! This time, we fight together!" - but the moment that makes me choke up is as she's rising and the piano music rises with her, that nice fluttering bit that makes it sound like the whole world is flying away. The story begins and ends with Navi flying, which makes it into a very effective bookend as scenes go, and I would like to blame that for why it tugs at my heartstrings, but if I'm honest with myself I got attached to that chatty fairy and it makes me sad when she goes away.

Of course, I could just be a big weeping crybaby when it comes to music.

I don't usually 'choke up' when reading/watching/playing/etc, but I have been touched by many works of fiction, and if I am absorbed into a world, I often feel depressed or melancholic for some time after it's over. The concepts of catharsis and epiphany are not lost on me, in other words.

Games communicate meaning in a lot of ways, including the level design and game mechanics, but - if I am to look outside of my typical Nintendo-centered comfort zone - one particular game that got to me was the oft overlooked, 'flawed masterpiece' Legend of Mana, particularly the end level 'play scene' of the Jumi's Quest. I can't find any good videos of it, and really, things like these should be experienced within context, but I find that the music speaks for itself.

Yes, music does bring a lot to everything. Smeags, I agree with you and Khuutra, but I would not say it is an underappreciated art form, given the existence of projects like this.

Concerning the second link: I really liked their interpretation of Ganondorf's theme in particular. The Overworld theme felt too... John Williams, I suppose.

ah so this is the VC scene everybody here is talking about.

SPOILER (highlight space to read)

Didn't like Isara that much (she was Darcsen after all lol), but seriously I never liked her so I could live just fine with her death.
I miss Selvaria much more :(

/SPOILER

Now can someone enlighten me which UC2 scene Rainbird and Torillian are talking about ?

I am very glad you used spoiler tags morenoingrato, since I have yet to complete the first Layton

Props to you for excellent spoilering
