Legend of Zelda theme should be Japan's anthem

Imagine watching the olympics and some Japanese gold winner is up there crying to the Zelda theme...

I know it'd tug on my heartstrings

It is Japan. It would be the Dragon Quest fanfare theme.

double blech.

The dream was fun while it lasted.

The music for the D&D games was always good.

I've heard this about 1000 times the summer I discovered this game

Barely anyone played it since it was a mediocre game, but it had an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.

I LOVE opening themes. A great opening musical piece had often got me through a game or anime series I disliked. Visual Novel OPs are usually my favourite. Especially the sad sounding ones. Here's some of my favourites (that are safe for work)!

Visual Novels
Clannad Opening Theme - Meg Mell (Eufonius)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI9fXifMYoY

ef-the first tale - Eternal Feather (Tenmon)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj3vMRwTzDQ

Chaos;Head Theme - Find the Blue (Itou Kanako)
Warning: A bit of blood in this one. Nothing bad, just a heads up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD8FLiW_O8A

Little Busters! - Little Busters (Rita)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI9fXifMYoY

Anime
A few years back I actually uploaded a top 10 favourite anime openings to YouTube. It's pretty out of date now, but here they are anyway:
#10-6
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YOXTq4Uaoc
#5-1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMvurzRn8AM

Games
I could link the opening of Persona 3 & 4, but we've all seen those anyway, right? :P Of stuff I recently played, I quite like the Tales of Vesperia opening.

And here's a last one... (warning, it's, uhhhh, very "cutesy"). Another Visual Novel OP.

How the hell did I forget about Chrono Cross? Great song for a great opening.

To the Baba Yetu haters: keep hatin'. Shit is hot no matter what you say.

Christopher Tin is currently nominated for not one but *two* grammy's. One for his CD "Calling All Dawns" (which is awesome: 12 songs, 12 different languages, totally solid musical ideas), and the other is for the live performance of Baba Yetu that VGL has been doing. That man is heroic.

(also, baba yetu's lyrics = the Lord's Prayer in Swahili)

My own contributions are very RPG-centric.

Liberi Fatali ~ FFVIII
Into the Wilderness ~ Wild Arms
Scars of Time ~ Chrono Cross
Angel's Fear ~ Secret of Mana
Twilight Illusion (or however you wanna translate it) ~ Atelier Iris Eternal Mana
Expressive/Singing Hill ~ Ar tonelico
Rondo of Light and Shadow ~ Lunar 2 (JP version prz)

That's a pretty good list right there. Not exhaustive, but totally awesome, yes.

Well, you could just copy and paste what Pat wrote in to YouTube! :) But I think most of us are too lazy. :P

It's about time you showed up, Pat! I was about to send you a message to ask for your input.

I KNEW I heard that Baba Yetu song before! It's on my video games live cd.

Another "duh" to me for forgetting the opening to FFVIII.

I like the Planescape: Torment music. I should really play that game.
