Wii Shop Channel music fuckin’ slaps.
If consumerism was an angel.
Ocarina of time: Gerudo town theme.
If you want something similar August Burns Red (a metalcore band) does an acoustic version of their song ‘internal cannon’ and it gives me strong gerudo valley vibes, skip to 1:50 in and see what i mean.
Outset Island from Wind Waker. I used to leave the game on to just take in the music and ocean sounds
I feel like Outset is inspired by Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony
Zelda, Link to the Past main outside theme.
Just getting the mail would sound like an adventure.
Littleroot town theme from Pokemon R/S/E
Tristram from Diablo I
also literally everything Darren Korb does for supergiant games. I have moments in each of their games where I stop playing and listen to a song.
The Tristram theme still unlocks some long-buried neuron activation for me and I haven’t played Diablo 1 in probably 20 years. But that and Griswold’s “What can I do fer ya?” are baked into my memory permanently.
LoZ: LTTP Fairy Fountain Theme. So sublime.
Also, underrated is Skyward Sword’s Great Fairy Fountain. This one is heavenly.
Actually love all these. Especially slowed down
Everything from WildArms is covers of Ennio Morricone compositions!
That’s some underrated deep cut shit right there.
👌😤👍
Lookout Landing from Tears of The Kingdom is both relaxing and reassuring to me.
Not a “town” per se, but a camp setting in Pikmin 4. Something about this song just instantly relaxes me and makes me reminisce about hot afternoon summer barbeques.
Terraria town day theme.
Anything from Machinariun. One of my favorite games ever; art style, problem solving, homage to video games, but the music ties it all together in such a beautiful way. One of the outside problems involves helping a group of musicians get their stolen instruments back who then play a different rhythm and melody for you when you pass through.
Animal crossing. All of them. On repeat.
Cassette Beasts
I think anything would drive me insaneer over an infinite time span, but the shop music from MegaMan Legends 2 would probably be the least psychologically damaging.
