Favorite Gaming Music #36: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening – Tal Tal Heights

This was a Zelda game that I had been putting off for some time.  I remember the times when my friend would say that this is the best Zelda game he has played.  This game is pretty fun.  This Zelda game in particular takes place on Koholint Island as Link is making his way back to Hyrule following the events of Oracle of Ages/Seasons, according to Hyrule Historia, in the timeline that Link is defeated by Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time.  The purpose of the game is to wake up the Wind Fish so Link can get off the island.  The game itself can go by quickly if you are any bit of a seasoned Zelda player.  About midway through the game, Link approaches Tal Tal Heights and it has one of the better themes in the game.  I could just leave Link idle in Tal Tal Heights all day.

Favorite Gaming Music #3: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Gerudo Valley

For a while, I was contemplating which was my favorite Legend of Zelda game.  Although I prefer A Link to the Past to Ocarina of Time, I believe that Ocarina of Time has the better music.  Look no further than Gerudo Valley.
