Some More Musical Tracks From Various Nintendo 64 Games
There's no doubt in my mind that the Nintendo 64 came not only jam packed with a lot of great games, but also some of the best video game soundtracks ever made. I'd like to highlight a few that I seem to never be able to get out of my head:
First we'll start off with an easy one and I'm sure it's to no surprise but - Gerudo Valley from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Next up we have the theme from the first level in Turok 2. It's a theme that I always find great to come back to because it really sets the tone for the rest of the game. While the rest of the soundtrack is also pretty great, nothing to me is more satisfying to listen to then this.
Of course, I'll throw in the theme from the Dam level in Goldeneye: 007 as it's definitely up there with tracks like the previous one where it perfectly sets the tone for the rest of what you are about to endure.
Both of the previous songs I mentioned are both of equal caliber when it comes to quality in my book. Perfectly setting the tone and making the games feel epic for the time. Really made both Turok 2 and Goldeneye: 007 a true joy and experience to play. Will always remember these soundtracks fondly.
Going back to Diddy Kong Racing, did you know that this game also has an amazing if not perfect soundtrack truly making the game feel alive and just an absolute joy to play through? Well, it does. And this track right here is to further that point. This particular track is just excellent and really makes the later part of the game feel like an experience and just a joy to go through. Star City from Diddy Kong Racing
I had also mentioned the Grunty's Furnace Fun part of Banjo-Kazooie a few posts ago, and I just wanted to post the theme here for your enjoyment:
A fun yet menacing theme to go along with the challenge that awaits you.
We'll continue this later with part 2.
