Wind Waker - All amazing songs, especially the Great Sea music.

Ocarina Of Time - Gerudo Valley is the best music ever put in a game.

Mass Effect Trilogy - Brilliant music, mainly Therum Battle, ME theme, Leaving Earth and An End Once & For All (which was the perfect music to end the trilogy and the 2nd best game song after Gerudo Valley).

Kid Icarus Uprising - Didn't expect it too have this amazing soundtrack, plus it comes with a music player so you can listen whenever you want!!

Sonic 2 - Green Hill Zone enough said.

**Edit***

Final Fantasy 9 - Great music. Battle theme was great.

The Master System one? There is no Green Hill Zone in the genesis version of Sonic 2.

Love Jeremy Soule's work on Elder Scrolls and Guild Wars series. Truly magical. I love the main Morrowind theme. Yet to play the game but i love "Streets of Whiterun".

Sorry my bad. I forgot Green Hill's in Sonic 1! Sonic 2 is still great though. Edited!



Classic gens:

- Final Fantasy 4 (The battle themes alone puts this up in my list)
- Secret of Mana (wonderful, ambient sountracks to match desert/snow/purelands. Too many to mention)
- Megaman 3 (I like Megaman 2 as well, but I find myself humming the Megaman 3 tunes more)
- Super Mario Bros 3.
- Final Fantasy 6 (what can I say? Wonderful orchestral composition all round)
- Chrono Trigger
- Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (the game feels a bit simple after so many years of strategic RPGs, but the soundtrack for this should not be underestimated)
- Sonic 3 & Knuckles
- Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
- Kirby Super Star


More current gens:
- Skies of Arcadia
- Super Mario Galaxy

Ocarina of Time - Fire boss battle, Gerudo Valley, Ganondorf battle
Majora's Mask - Song of Healing
Twilight Princess - Midna's Lament
Skyward Sword - Ghirahim Battle

Super Mario 64 - Bowser stage, credits
Mario Kart 64 - Rainbow Road, credits
Mario Kart: Super Circuit - Sky Garden
Mario Kart 7 - Koopa City

Pokémon Gold/Silver version - Lance/Red Battle
Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire version - Rival Battle
Pokémon Colosseum - Cipher Peon Battle

Halo: CE - Main theme
Halo 3: ODST - Skyline
Halo 4 - Main theme

Metroid Prime 2 - Sanctuary Fortress, Darkness

F-Zero X - Mute City
F-Zero GX - Fire Field, Pico theme


Plus pretty much all OST by Rare ltd.
