This is a discussion I used to have a lot when I was in Secondary school and it's hard to pin-point and all the factors.
Basically, list your favourite video game music pieces with a link to it so people can listen to it too and don't forget your reasons why
One rule: it has to be from a game not a re-orchestrated, or remixed version! (Smash bros versions do count though!)
My favourite for:
Nostalgia
- "Champion/Red Battle theme" from Pokemon GSC & HG/SS & B2/W2
(I remember just going around Kanto and finding myself in somewhere I had never been before, went through a cave and found none-other-than Red. I had no clue he was in it and the battle was so tricky. But that music and surprise stays with me.)
The feels
- "Midna's Lament" from LoZ Twilight Princess
(dat piano doe... it's just too many feel)

OR
- "And what if I can't... What if I'm not worthy of her ideals?" from Fire Emblem: Awakening
(it's a sad part of a game with a VERY rich story for a handheld)

The adrenaline/getting you pumped
- "Last Battle (Vs Rival) from Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
(I always found E4 very difficult. I completed it for the first time last year. Appalling I know. I just never had the initative for the revives/potions when I was a kid so when I got to Blue it was VERY stressful xD )

The (hands-down) favourite
So difficult to choose my favourite but it would have to be:
-"File Select" from LoZ Skyward Sword
(the strings just make this lovely ditty a fantastic piece :3)
