“HEY! Listen!”
Earlier this year we paid tribute to everyone’s favourite video game plumber by celebrating Top 5 Super Mario Songs . But Mario isn’t the only one with a big anniversary to celebrate this year. That’s right! This time, we are giving love to another one of gaming’s most popular franchises – The Legend of Zelda for their 35th anniversary! So this week join Tuong and the Tri-Force trio that is Justin Godelie, Spencer Moreland, and Kristine Shadid as they grab their ocarinas and spin attack their way to making a Top 5 Legend of Zelda Songs list!

Ground Rules
- We are nominating individual tracks and not entire scores for this episode
- Songs must come from a main line Legend of Zelda game ** (ie any off shoots do not count for this list like Cadence of Hyrule or Hyrule Warriors).
- End credit music also counts as a nomination
- A super medley of songs don’t count as one nomination. For example, The Legend of Zelda came out with an insane 25th anniversary orchestrated collection which is good in it’s own right, but you cannot nominate one of the tracks from this album as each track is essentially a compilation of many songs (done really really good).
*Spoilers* Below is our Top 5 list from this episode as well as our own personal unordered lists.
