The shift from deliberate game music to atmospheric setpieces has been a bumpy one. Most songs seem to be middling while others have a hard time capturing the intended mood. Ocarina of Time is one of the first games that I noticed that did it right for the most part, the standout piece being the Forest Temple. Everything about this song whispers Haunted Meadow/Castle, from the chiming wood drums to the ghastly calls. It's perfect in every way and it's the standout piece in the game.
