Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Sound Test, the series where each week you will be given the chance to share or talk about some of your favorite video game tracks that meet a specific prompt. This week’s prompt focuses on one of the most common types of video game locales – forests! Forest themes can be mysterious and moody, light and playful, and everything in between.

What are some of your favorite forest themes? What is it about them that works so well for you?

You can include YouTube links or just mention the name of the game/song – whatever works best for you! The goal is to have fun and maybe get some new recommendations along the way.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)

Forest Interlude (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest)

Awakening Wood (Pikmin 2)

Faron Woods (Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

I have made a list of potential future prompts available here. If you have any ideas you’d like added, let me know!
