If only more games had scores released like this. The music in Ocarina of Time isn't necessarily the best of its kind, but it's still very well done. I don't really need to review the music, do I? If you've played the game then you know exactly what you're getting there. It's the packaging of this CD that is terribly impressive. It's well-tooled and feels like a genuine novelty of Zelda products with full color pictures in the insert, Japanse and English track titles, a GOLD CD (ahhh, reminscent of the NES Legend of Zelda gold cartridge) with a simple elegant white print on top, a map of Hyrule in the case behind the CD, and some sort of sticker that I can't bring myself to place somewhere (and let it get ruined? no way!). Lastly, the audible contents are extremely complete with not only in-game music, but the "item sounds" and such. The things you hear when you get an item, defeat a boss, etc.
Bottom line, this CD is a great item for game/score fans and any sort of collector. It gives you a simple feeling of pleasure at just having possessed such a thing ... like when buying a video game actually meant something more than a few hours of fun. Okay, so maybe part of the fun with this is nostalgia, because it reminds me of the old Zelda's as much as the new!

I ordered this CD back on April 25th,2011 chose normal delivery and recieved it on May 2nd, 2011. Speedy delivery was never a huge concern of mine. I like to order something, and then genuinely be suprised when the order has exited my short term memory and I CD had some scratches on it, and 1 song would skip and replay about 30 seconds of the song. Other than that, it contained all of the songs on the original Zelda Soundtrack (i checked, like any good consumer should do before they buy), CD case and booklet were in good condition, and I was able to play this CD with no issue, aside from the 1 botched song. I am happy with this purchase. Out of over 66 songs, 1 didn't play to perfection. Oh well, life can't always work out the way we want it. I'll settle.

I really like this soundtrack. It's nice to have ALL of the songs from the game. It comes in a case with a little booklet containing 4 different pictures to substitute in the front and the list of all 82 songs in english and japanese. It is one disc that contains 78:01 minutes (or 1 hour 18 minutes) of the music directly from the game. When you import the cd, there are two types, Nintendo and Koji kondo for the soundtrack-choose Koji Kondo. The only cons were-There were two little cracks on the front, but the case will get battered up anyway-The songs are all 1 loop, which means played once (this isn't that bad, though)- andthe music doesn't have that nice "powerfull" sound to it because it is synthetic ( produced on a synthisizer) rather than orchestrated. Over all a great cd. Also do not worry too much about the Miya records "pirated cd's" issue, they haven't proved that yet. I recommend this!

...I have to say it has a corny feel to it. Even though the cd sounds great, and the music is great it sounds cheap. Somehow on the Cd you hear the cheap things differently. Such as the Temple Of Time song. The vocals sound just like a keyboard now. Don't get me wrong this Cd will make you want to play the game all over again. The price tag is steep so get from sellers. This soundtrack almost brought me to tears when the final theme came. It is a seven min. song that reminds you of all the great things you did during the game. All in all this is a great soundtrack. By the way about 15 of the songs are as low as 5 sec. long!!!

Nice soundtrack. But the Fire Temple theme sucks! All they play is the drums when you first enter the temple, there is no chanting or the removed chanting version and I find that very lame! I will rate it at 4 stars. It won't get 5 just because of that. The rest of the soundtrack is excellent!

Overall, I would like to rate this 4.5 stars. It is a great CD, but the songs are very short. If Nintendo could have made a double CD set with all the songs properly repeated, it would have been perfect. Instead, also had to buy the US version (
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Nintedo 64 Game Soundtrack
) so at least some of the songs wouldn't seem like they just come then go. But if you only have room in your budget for one CD, this is the one for you.

I've been a Zelda fan for a long time now, and I just had to get this. Ocarina of time is one of the best Zelda games. Great game play, story, and best of all; music. This CD has all the amazing songs you could think of at a good price. It's a must-have for a Zelda fan. Overall, great product!

The writing is all Japanese but Google is your friend and can easily find the track titles. Such a blast from the past with the music.

CDとしては効果音とBGMを分けていないので大変聴きにくいです。
今は音楽編集で順番は変更できるので問題ありません。
ハイラル平原メインテーマ、風車小屋、迷いの森、ゲルドの谷は好きですね。
神殿の曲は最初は好きでなくスルーしてたのですが
張り詰めた緊張感のある音楽が多いので作業用BGMには適しています。

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on February 3, 2006
曲は良いものが多いのですが、一曲一曲短く収録されているので、評価を一つ下げました。こんなことするならDISKを二枚組にしてほしかったと思います。じっくり聴きたい方にはあまりオススメ出来ませんが、ステッカーが付属しているのでファンの方であれば問題ないかと思います。
