	The Warriors	Battlefront II	Gaia Online	Legend of Zelda: OOT
Did the design effect work? Why?	The Game-Maker used this piece of music because it portrays a creepy/scary style. This foreshadows the game as it’s a dooming, dark game with violence and danger.	The Game-Maker used the original Star Wars theme for this game, this works perfectly as this game is about the films story. The large logo and the heroic  music.	The Gaia Online Productions team used this happy piece to portray a happy style of gameplay. Makes you feel nice and playful and not stressed or angry.	Nintendo really worked hard on the music in OOT and it shows, rated one of the best pieces of music in any game it strives to make you feel happy and adventurous.

It makes you feel like you’re about to go on an adventure, it’s catchy and gets stuck in your head. A very happy melody.
Would I use a different piece, why?	No, I think the one used is very iconic to the game and works very well with the genre and style of the video game.	No, to not give homage to the original Star Wars masterpieces would be a sin, it wouldn’t have worked else.	No, I would only mix up the piece so it wasn’t the same one looped and maybe use other happy, jingly melodies as well.	No, there’s no better piece to use. It fits the game perfect and is one of the best music numbers in gaming history.
