    OK, now that I know what it is, that sounds awesome! If you get a main theme that you really like could you send the sheet music to me somehow?

    A term that is used to refer to video game music and stands for Original SoundTrack.

    I can only say go for it. One of the things that attracts me to the Zelda franchise is that they arguably have one of the best OST in all of Nintendo. Be it Zelda's Lullaby(which has so many variations over the countless games that you can literally pick the one you like), Saria's Song/Lost Woods(Ocarina of Time exclusive), Horse Racing(look up the 2018 Orchestral version of it… debuted in Ocarina of Time + Majoras Mask and it came back in Echoes of Wisdom and was so there for it), and Combat(which includes Boss theme that has varied based on the game). Then there's one-off theme's like Captain Linebeck in Phantom Hourglass or taking existing theme's and pushing them in reverse(Ballad of the Goddess in Skyward Sword is Zelda's Lullaby in reverse, Lorule Castle in A Link Between Worlds = Hyrule Castle theme in reverse). I haven't even mentioned Breath of the Wild/Age of Calamity either(latter of which hits really hard on the OST). Pretty sure the latest Hyrule Warriors in Age of Imprisonment is good on the OST too.

    If you asked me which OST above is my favorite, I'd probably go Saria's Song. An Orchestral rendition does it justice(even if its based on the ending credits variant of it in Ocarina of Time staff roll).
