        That one is plagiarized.

          Everything is. good luck finding a melody that hasn't been composed yet.
          But I'm curious, what did it "plagiarize"? Paco de Lucía?

                Makes zero sense how everyone wants original music in an industry based off plagriarism. Might as well write your own music to make sure it's authentic.

      No game has music worth listening to outside of the game. OoT comes very close, though. You are just tired of the music because you heard it a million times

    It's not a bad soundtrack but it sounds much better in the game it was made for, not as good listening to it just for fun. I get that not everyone is that into game music, but why bother making a GOAT list if you're not? This is such an entry level choice.

      All of them because 5 seconds of a song being similar doesn't make the entire song unoriginal

    Dinosaur Planet shits on Ocarina of Tripe’s soundtrack.
    Discovery Falls, Dragon Rock, Warlock Mountain, Cape Claw, SnowHorn Wastes, Moon Mountain Pass, literally every single area has music that sounds like it was done on-site by a motherfricking philharmonic orchestra. Ocarina of Time’s soundtrack sounds like some wretched midi shit you’d hear from Mario 64 composed by some amateur shittune composer who gets high from sniffing his own farts.
