Also it's more recognisable by modern gamers than the Zelda theme - Mute City appears in the Mario Kart 8 soundtrack with 41 million copies sold. Breath of the Wild sold 24 million, so Mute City is almost twice as iconic.

This argument would be watertight were it not for the fact that the Zelda theme also appears in MK8. In fact it's arguably more prominent in MK8 than it is in BOTW.

I’m confused by what Zelda Main Theme we’re voting for. The track in the first post has never been a game so doesn’t feel like it counts.

Probably only one winner here but let's go through the formalities.

I want to vote for Hell March but even I know that Tetris is far more iconic.

Tetris

Even though it grinds on me it's much more iconic than Hell March.

Tetris. Hell Match isn't even the best C&C music

As predicted, Tetris annihilates C&C and moves on to a classic quarter final against Mario (I know, it should have been the final but that's the luck of the draw). Next up, Outrun vs Banjo.

Banjo. How can we be voting against a theme that follows you in various guises throughout the entire game.

Check out my YouTube channel!
One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

I love and prefer Banjo but Iconic has to be Outrun however, this might be more my age!

Same as Rubix I prefer Banjo and it means more to me, but Outrun is basically the sound of arcades

Never played Banjo so it has to be Magical Sound Shower.
