I agree on Final Hours from Majora's Mask, that one is INSANE!



I don't think any video game music has ever scared me before.

Recently, I played Metroid, and the music was a little unsettling in its simplicity. It is a lot different from other NES games.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Silence is the scariest music of all.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka was the composer of the Metroid tracks I posted earlier in the thread. He also composed music for Earthbound, and similarly, utilized bits of silence, sound effects, and low tones to make things more spooky. He's one of the geniuses of the video game industry that is not acknowledged enough for his brilliance (usually people go for the RPG composers like Uematsu, Sakimoto, and Mitsuda - and if it is Nintendo, they talk about Koji Kondo), though his influence on other video game composers can be heard extensively. Personally speaking, I think Metroid and Earthbound are his best works, although he has some more famous ones like Tetris. Hip Tanaka is IMO the king of spooky music.
