Just for you to know I didn't just pull this list out of thin air; I've searched through the internet, diving into various sources to create what I believe to be the ultimate ranking of video game songs. It's worth noting that this isn't just my personal opinion. This list is a result of gathering data from multiple sources, which you can find down below.

It is also worth noting that I could not use songs from the Final Fantasy or NieR Automata games due to copyright issues. Otherwise the following songs would have been in this list aswell:
Final Fantasy X - OST - To Zanarkand:
   • Final Fantasy X - OST - To Zanarkand  
Final Fantasy VII OST - One-Winged Angel:
   • Final Fantasy VII OST - One-Winged Angel  
NieR: Automata | Amusement Park Theme:
   • NieR: Automata | Amusement Park Theme  


I've also delved into the Dark Souls series, crafting a unique ranking of its boss battle soundtracks. If you're a fan of that franchise, make sure to check that out as well.

Of course, music taste and gaming taste are highly subjective, and I'm sure you'll have your own personal favorites. Feel free to share your thoughts, recommend other tracks, or even criticize this ranking in the comment section. Your input will inspire an updated ranking I will create in the future.
