Listen to the Forest Dungeon, Water Dungeon and Desert Dungeon themes again and I'm sure you'll fall in love with them.

Yeah.. this game's soundtrack pretty much sucks. The composition is decent, but the sample quality is unbearable. There's no excuse for a game with as much budget and ambition behind it as OoT to have such a bad soundtrack. And it's not a hardware thing. Listen to Killer Instinct Gold or Conker's Bad Fur Day. They had no trouble getting amazing sound quality out of the N64's sound chip. OoT's soundtrack sounds like Kondo strung it up on a cheap Casio synthesizer a day before it went gold. LttP's soundtrack sounds infinitely more orchestral. Just compare some of the themes that are in both games, like Zelda's theme. It's inexcusible.

The same could be said for most N64 games though. Very few development houses seemed to use the N64 sound in any meaningful way. Part of it is because there's no onboard sound chip and it required main CPU time to generate, similar to the GBA. But Rare was one of the few companies that could make that thing sound gorgeous - Perfect Dark is pretty amazing. It's strange that Nintendo themselves was pretty incompetant at their own system in this regard. Mario 64 was decent (a launch game at that) but Starfox 64 was similarly pitiful.
The Goemon games had decent music at least. F-Zero X had an excellent soundtrack even though the guitars scream SUPER SYNTH in a way that's only marginally better than Genesis FM music.

The problem with goldeneye's soundtrack is pretty much every other song is a different rendition of the goldeneye theme |
