Anglerbe's Soundtrack of the Week

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Final Battle With Ganon
***POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT***
If ever there were a perfect track in a video game, this would be the one. Hands down, the most epic (and I don't like to throw that word around a lot) final boss theme in any ever known to mankind. And maybe even a few extraterrestrial species. In fact, I would argue that its the best final boss period, if not for the incredible decrease in difficulty once you discover the tactic. The atmosphere is perfect, if a little cliche; stormy and thundering, dark, surrounded by a wall of flames. Rather than extremely face-paced and (for lack of a better term coming to mind) hardcore, this track chooses the route of slow and yet indescribably, goose-bump inducingly intense. If this battle is lost, it means the end of the world. Ganondorf is one of the few villains in the Zelda series that doesn't overestimate himself, and that makes it all the more intense. In case you haven't noticed, I love this boss, music and (almost) all.
