Overall score is a 9/10. Great retrospective highlighting Koji Kondo's experience composing the music for the game, and its place in gaming history.
Ever since those four notes guided enemies down the screen in 1978's Space Invaders, video game music has remained one of the most commonly heard sounds across the world. Yet there is a disconnect between its outsize popularity and its critical recognition. Game soundtracks rarely pad out year-end lists or are regularly reviewed in music magazines, let alone considered as credible listening options outright. The soundtrack for Ocarina of Time, the fifth edition of The Legend of Zelda—a flagship series for Nintendo that inspires such slavish devotion, both Robin Williams' daughter and Seth Rogen's spaniel share its name—was so full of creativity and color and wonder that it presented the most convincing possible case to argue game music belongs in the canon.
