Day 11 - Winter Video Game Music

Well, since true winter weather doesn't seem to be here anytime soon, let's listen to some Winter-related music in video games.

Winters Theme from EarthBound/Mother 2

 

This theme plays in Winters, a snowy region in EarthBound. It has this upbeat winter/christmas feeling to it.

Snowman from Mother 1-3

 Snowman was originally a town in Mother 1, but the music could be heard in both Mother 2 and 3. In Mother 3, it played when Lucas visited a snowy mountain in Chapter 7.

Christmas/Toy Day Theme from Animal Crossing

This song plays during Toy Day, which occurs on Christmas Eve from 6PM. A charming track that captures both the feeling of Christmas and the feeling of Animal Crossing.

Snow Theme from Super Mario 3D World

 SM3DW has got some nice sounding orchestrated music and this beautiful piece is no exception.

Freezeezy Peak from Banjo-Kazooie

Banjo-Kazooie, one of the finest examples of Rareware's former greatness which was destroyed when Microsoft bought them. But let's forget that and take a listen to this amazing piece by Grant Kirkhope.

Snowpeak and Snowpeak Ruins from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Unlike most of the entries, this one is more about the harshness of winter. It plays while you're visiting the snowy Snowpeak province in Zelda: TP and during Snowpeak Ruins, where while in the kitchen, a nicer melody is added to it.

The Silvery Snowland - Keterburg from Tales of the Abyss

 TotA is one of my favorite JRPGs and it has a nice winter themed town with a nice songs. In fact, the whole soundtrack is nice. Might replay this game sometime.

Shop - Town from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Say what you want about the game... I actually like this one (and only this one). It had awesome music and my favorite was this one that played when you were in the Olympic town. The place itself was pretty nice too.

Route 216-217 from Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

Platinum was my first true Pokemon game and man does this bring back memories. I love the Sinnoh region! Gotta replay that game as well.

Snowbelle Town from Pokemon X/Y

A rather sad sounding music that is the theme of Snowbelle Town in Kalos Region. It's a snow-covered town where the last gym is.

Route 15 from Pokemon X/Y

My favorite route theme in the game. It's simply wonderful.
