The nice thing about doing #VGMWednesday on a game I am familiar with is that I can pretty much immediately point to a track and go "that one".
Don't get me wrong, it has been nice with some of the more weird titles to dig deep onto the OSTs and pull out tracks.
#Zelda 2 was an example of a super easy one to do. Actually I should note that the music to Zelda 2 is not bad. Sure, the overworld theme does not evoke the same feelings in me as the original Zelda theme. But do you know what theme I think is miles better than the original?
The dungeon theme. Referred to as the 『Palace theme』and whilst that does sound rather grandiose, I do think it is deserved. The Palaces in this game are all large maps filled with some of the franchises' deadliest enemies.
For me, I get a feeling of mystery and peril, bravely venturing into the unknown, only to be ganked by a Darknut, or being knocked back into a pit and then taunted by Ganon's return.
