Nintendo Franchises Ranked by Soundtrack


In my opinion, Nintendo is by far the best Video Game development company in terms of the music/soundtracks it produces. Here are my favorite Nintendo franchises by OST, each accompanied by a few of my favorite songs from the franchise.

Note: There's no way I could pick my favorite few songs from each franchise so these are just some of my favorite songs from each (not necessarily the best)...
