E8#21: My Favorite Type of Music

My favorite type of music, is, believe it or not, video game soundtracks. I really like them because I can listen to them while I do mediocre tasks to help myself focus, and it can also help me block out distracting noises (cough cough my youngest sibling cough cough). I also enjoy a couple tracks more than others.

I like video game soundtracks for many reasons. I enjoy listening to them while I read (both for fun and school) and while I do writing assignments. I like them more than other types of music because they don’t have words and they don’t take a lot of brainpower to process.

My favorite soundtracks come from the Legend of Zelda series. My top 3 Zelda tracks are as follows: The Gerudo Valley theme from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; The theme that plays during the end credits of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD; and finally the hero’s theme (aka master sword theme) from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. The hero’s theme from Age of Calamity is probably my favorite piece of music, as it is an orchestral remix of the overworld theme from the original Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

In conclusion, I really like video game soundtracks. They are my favorite type of music because they can help me focus, and also provide a little bit of entertainment for when I’m washing dishes or something of the like. I like a few tracks in particular that I keep coming back to.
