    My time has come. As someone who almost exclusively listens to instrumental soundtrack from movies and games, including from games I have never played, these are the ones that most often get stuck in my head (in no particular order). A plus “+” indicates a song that got stuck in my head regularly before I ever played the game, while an asterisk “*” indicates a song that still gets stuck in my head, despite being from a game I have never played at all.

    1. Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)

    2. Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)

    3. Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds (*)

    4. One Final Effort - Halo 3 (*)

    5. Golem King - Moonlighter

    6. Song of the Ancients - Nier Series (*)

    7. Dragonborn - Skyrim

    8. Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)

    9. Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker (*)

    10. Nate’s Theme - Uncharted (*)

    11. Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy (*)

    12. Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)

    13. Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)

    14. Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom

    15. This Song - The Witcher 3 (It’s the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)

    16. Bloody Tears - Castlevania (*)

    But finally, the song that I credit with making me obsessed with instrumental soundtrack, because I fell asleep with it playing on repeat for a whole night at the age of 5, and then lost the game cartridge, so I forgot what it was from, and which I would get stuck in my head roughly once a month throughout my entire childhood until I finally found the song THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:

    Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II

    As far as Pokemon goes, I’ve always been partial to the Team Galactic battle theme from DPPT. And though “catchy” doesn’t quite do it justice, the night theme for Jubilife City, also in DPPT, is tremendous. Walking into that city for the first time at night was one of the defining moments of my video game life.

    And the Shiver City theme from Paper Mario is unforgettable.

    I don’t think anything will ever beat Still Alive from Portal though.

    All versions of moon over the castle from the gran tursimo series, the version from GT4 goes hard.

    I feel like Sea Shanty 2 from Old School Runescape is a strong contender. Even if you have never played Runescape there is a good chance you know it.

      Man the soundtrack alone could get me to play Katamari games. I got a birthday gift card recently and was deciding what game to get, when one of the OSTs came up on YT Music and I listened to it for like a week straight. Immediately got We ❤️ Katamari + DLC on 80% sale.

      Could scream that shit in my car honestly.
