Inside the Deku Tree
from Ocarina of Time
Very sonorous
Shapez 2
There’s a handful of frantic, battle music pieces in there so you might want to cull it to just the relaxing pieces, but I absolutely adore this soundtrack.
Doubling down on this. Jeremy Soule almost died in a car accident. After barely surviving it he worked on the Oblivion Soundtrack and had a mission: Making his work a celebration of life.
And if you ask me, he fucking nailed that part.
Oh wow, I didn’t know abot his backstory. Oblivion and Skyrim would probably be very different games if he hadn’t survived that accident.
He has some amazing work, IIRC he did Guild Wars as well
The GPU song is also a banger but more energetic.
Ff7 Tifa’s theme
Yunas Sending from final fantasy x
The one that put video game music as an art form on the map.
Hollow Knight soundtrack done on piano is basically one epic chill track after another. Some are fast paced and more energetic though.
FTL sound track is also chill and amazing.
Same for the Ori soundtrack.
Honourable mentions: Axiom Verge and Sim City 3000
The underwater level music from both DKC and Mario 64.
Chrono Trigger - Peaceful Days
(And my favorite orchestral arrangement of it)
Stellaris OST
