I've listened to plenty of video game music. Some great, some not so great.
You can have a great game with great music, and that's fantastic.
You can have a not great game, but with great music.
You can have a great game, but a mediocre soundtrack.
And you can have a bad game with a bad soundtrack
(best to stay away from those)
I think Chrono Trigger is a solid game with a great soundtrack.
The Mario & Luigi RPG series are games I enjoyed, all having music I liked too.
Phoenix Wright, fun games, solid tunes.
Undertale was a great game with a great soundtrack.
Those are just a couple.
When a game is good and also has good music, that really enhances the gameplay experience.

Nice, it's got some great music. But some especially touching and moving scenes heightened by music.

Can't help but pay attention to it, I guess.

Of the Zelda games, I find myself listening to the A Link Between Worlds OST the most. It’s grand and playful at the same time. You can’t go wrong with Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask’s tunes, either.

Banjo-Tooie, too. I can whistle Isle o’ Hags forever, and the various themes are awesome as well.

I know someone mentioned Symphony of the Night, but Castlevania 1, 2, 3, Bloodlines and Aria of Sorrow are musical masterpieces.

Dawn of Sorrow had some good tracks too. Played that one awhile back.

I wonder what the music experience would be like if I played the game.

I'm not very good at the game, but Radiant Silvergun and its spiritual successor Ikaruga I felt like had great tunes.

I've been meaning to play Okami for ages. Maybe after Tears of the Kingdom. Though I'm not sure if I'd rather play the original
version with motion controls or the 
version.I played the original on the PS2 and Okami HD on the PS3. From what I recall hearing, the motion controls on the Wii version were dodgy. It's perfectly playable with the analog sticks. The motion controls are likely only used for the brush painting - I didn't find it difficult to make the desired brush strokes with analog sticks. I would tentatively suggest going for the Switch version, so you can get the higher framerate and higher-res graphics.

Adding Okami to the to-play list. Maybe after Tears of the Kingdom.
What about the soundtrack did you like?

I haven't played any of the games in the series, but have heard a lot of the music. Persona 5 has a very long soundtrack, hours.

Wild Guns Reloaded has a brilliant soundtrack. I'd say the original Wild Guns also, but the best track ("Underground") is exclusively in the Reloaded remake.

Would like to experience the soundtrack with the game, but I don't have a way to play it. Guess I'll just have to settle for just the soundtrack.

I'm a big champion of the scores from the Singletrac games for the original PlayStation. Literally everything game soundtrack before Rogue Trip is high energy, cinematic, and as close to a real band/orchestra as you can get with a synthesizer. Some great examples are Desert Zone from Warhawk, The Mediterranean from Critical Depth, and Antarctica from Twisted Metal 2.
