This song played while I was on hold with Nintendo Customer Service. Was disappointed when they picked up

It's amazing how after 14 years, this game has aged brilliantly. The atmosphere and immersion really were knocked out of the park.

Seeing Ridley’s shadow in mid-flight passing over the snowy ground. Incredible.

Kevin Penkin, the composer who made amazing music for several video games and the anime "Made in Abyss" said in an interview that this song was what made him interested in video game music. The wikipedia page states, in a 2012 interview, he referred to the theme's electronic synths and acoustic instruments as "absolute bliss". Truly shows how brilliant the ost of this game is.

The end of the Metroid Prime 4 Beyond trailer instantly made me think of this. It's finally happening i'm so happy!

The music in this game reflects the feeling of the levels themselves. Phendrana is cold and desolate, Magmoor is industrial and mechanical. Chozo is mysterious and evocative, Phazon is scary and violent ..........best videogame music ever.

Metroid Prime​ holds a special place in my heart for the Metroid games. In addition to being a beautifully detailed FPS on the GameCube, it tells three very different but equally tragic stories. On the one hand it tells of the heart breaking decline of the Chozo civilization on Talon IV, which was once home to a thriving population that lived in harmony with nature before the asteroid that contained both Phazon and Metroid Prime fell. The second story it tells is of the hellish takeover of the planet by the Space Pirates as they try to fulfill their lust for ultimate power in the universe. The last story that it tells is that of Samus Aran​ herself in her quest to not only exact revenge on Ridley and the Space Pirates for taking her entire family from her (both human and Chozo) but her story of growth from being a hatching into being the ultimate warrior of the Chozo race. The Chozo hieroglyphics that you encounter throughout the game tell of the deep history that exists in the Metroid franchise as a whole, explaining the faith the Chozo had in Samus, watching her grow up from a child to an adult and bestowing the gift of her Power Suit upon her. A lot of people take the game at face value and view it simply as another blind run and gun adventure for Samus to participate in, but it's so much more than that and I wish more people could see it. Phendrana Drifts is a snow-themed area in the game where the Chozo once lived before the dramatic climate change brought on by the Phazon asteroid's impact. By the time Samus arrives they're little more than cold ruins with some Chozo tech lying in wait for the right person to find it (notably the Booster Ball and Wave Beam power-ups. You can argue the point on the Spider Ball and Thermal Visor power-ups but I feel those are Space Pirate tech) Phendrana also possibly the most beautifully-written song in the game, which is Phendrana's main area theme.

I love how this song sounds like "winter" without sounding like Christmas music. Even the sleigh bells evoke more of an image of a dogsled team trekking through the frozen tundra than Santa Claus.

God this game gave me so many memories. The atmosphere, the music, the lonely feeling, everything was just perfect.

This fucking game has something that I have never seen in any other game. I can't even put my finger on it, but it was a mix of the hardcore gameplay, the beautiful graphics, the incredible detail, and the brilliant music

This game was way ahead of its time.

This song aged like fine wine!!

This is one of the best ice-based songs in a video game ever.

I'm normally pretty terrible at choosing favorites, but I don't even have to think before calling this game my #1.

Bro I'm fr tearing out after the Nintendo Direct THEY FINALLY DID IT

Did anyone else enjoy shooting down the flying things despite not yet having the x-ray visor?

As a six year old, this was the sound of relief. As a child, the darkness, creatures, atmosphere and theme song of Magmoor caverns scared the shit out of me. When I finally got out of the elevator to Phendranas Drifts, I took a deep breath and just wandered around. Did anyone one else do this?.

Metroid Prime is the Ocarina of Time of first person shooters!

If you came here in 2024 and listened to this after the announcement of Metroid Prime 4, Press the Like button❤️😄

That part where the kick drum comes in it just becomes even more perfect.

13 years have passed... but this is still one of the best games in history!

It's been 18 years and it's still top tier. This game holds up so well.

It was at this point in the game where I finally realized what made this game so incredible - everything in this game is designed to give this ambience of loneliness, of isolation. You feel like you actually are on an empty planet, completely alone, and that feeling is what makes this game - and this series - so special.

Very few games can match the sheer brilliance of Metroid Prime in scope, gameplay, level design, atmosphere and music.

I know why you're here. Hi five!

In my opinion this is the best game ever. Anybody thinks the same?

Came back after the remaster, I'm right at the cusp of hearing this, stepping into phendrana and seeing ridleys shadow whilst Im absolutely lost in this magnificent OST.

Metroid prime ages like the finest wine man.

I've played this game and listened to the OSTs so much that I have the music perfectly memorized. So my brain is pretty much a playlist of Metroid Prime music.

Ah, Metroid Prime The only game that ever scared the shit out of me as a 10 year old kid

Never have I seen such a positive KZfaq comment page. I'm glad so many others share the same thoughts. The impact of the Metroid Prime, and that moment of entering Phendrana Drifts is very unique. Metroid Prime remains my favourite video game of all time. After playing games for over 20 years and now working in the gaming industry... it's still remains the unrivaled in my honest opinion. Every time I look at the box art on the back of the title, the first image you see is Phendrana Drifts and immediately, the melody feels present. Open, pale blue skies. Gentle flakes gliding through the air. Ice cold water flowing between the snow covered rocks... and those wild creatures that look like a hybrid between a turtle and a dinosaur. With a shell made of thick, transparent ice. Love it.

Finally can relive the awesome experience all over again with Metroid Prime Remastered.

YOU READY FOR THE REMASTERED GUYS?!

Whenever it snowed and I had to walk to class in snowstorms back in college, I'd cue this up on my iPod. One of my top favorite tracks from MP1, =)

ayy 1,000,000 views fully deserved. Amazing soundtrack.

2023 and MP1 has aged well enough that Nintendo saw fit to give it a remaster on the switch. Life is good.

One of my favorite games period, what I loved about this game was just wandering around scanning stuff, listening to this beautiful music. The graphics, even on the GameCube imo they still hold up to anything out today. I can't say enough great things about this game!

That piano is so light and subtle but it adds to the atmosphere so much.

I'm listing this while watching the first snowfall this winter. It's beautiful...

REJOICE METROID FANS. BACK TO THE SNOW WE GO

I'M COMING BACK PHENDRANA LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ah, the feeling of discovery at Phendrana Drifts. The music, the mood, the mystique surroundings and the huge areas to explore = Magic. Probably the best winter world/area made in any game to this day.

Man this song, gives me tears every single time i watch this... So many memories. Im sad that it is over now.. I want everyone to just listen to this song, but you can never truly experience it if you didnt play it as a kid. Thanks for uploading this.. It means alot. TTTT

I love the synthesizers in this.

Best Track if you need to chill.

I feel like the only person who thinks that the Crystallites (the little bug-like enemies with icicles on their heads) are cute. They kinda look like they're wearing party hats. :D

This music plays in my head when I walk in snowy weather.

gotta listen to it here while the switch is charging

i literally feel an icy chill come into the room when i hear this

Snowing outside right now, listening to this. Incredible.

I really enjoy the original metroid games but there's just something about the primes that I LOVE. It's just so immersive and the music like this just...makes it perfect. I can't even recall how many times I've played through the prime trilogy. Here's hoping we get more like them.

We back boooyyysss. We finally got a Remake :D

It's Back on the switch baby!!!!

It’s that time of year where snow falls and I put this song on while driving. So peaceful and so many great memories always flash back.

doesn't get any better than this folks.. enjoy the switch remastered version!

i own a 12 year old copy of this game. ive had it since it came out and it is my favorite video game of all time. this game did for metroid what ocarina of time did for the legend of zelda. i could play this game tomorrow and end up beating it in about 8 hours. i will never get the same feeling from a game that this one gave me. this is up there with games like ocarina of time, gta san andreas, halo, and super mario world as one of the best games of all time. it has to be. you cant find a bad review of this game from a notable publication.

I've played this game a few months ago on my gamecube. The first time I heard this music I've stopped playing just to listen to the song, it is really beautif. It is peaceful yet a bit sad and you feel lonely while listening

I really think this is one of the best songs from an OST of all time

This song holds so much memory for me, on top of being an incredible atmosphere of the cold. Metroid will always be one of the most iconic games for its ability to emmerse someone so fully into an environment. What Id give if my brother and I could play games togethet again...

so it was 2023, a whole 20 years after I fell in love with this OST and track in general and I only just realized there was a vocal sub track as part of it and its blown my mind, Like how did I not hear it all these years??????

Playing this on a emulator at 1080p and 60fps is a joy. Defently on the top 10 best games ever created And it just age like fine wine

This is beautiful. Wanna play there, but those creatures ain't friendly.

some hot days i listen to this and still get a refreshing effect oposite effect with magmor theme anyone else?

Phenderana has ingratiated itself as _THE_ snow theme for me. It doesn’t feel right if I don’t have this song somewhere while I’m going up and down the slopes on my snowboard

In Breath of the Wild, I went shield surfing down Hebra Mountain with this playing. It was breathtaking.

Playing the remake, the second I got to Phendrana i was home.

There’s something so lonely and desolate yet comfortable about Phandrana Drifts. Probably nostalgia, regardless this song is still outstanding. One of my favorite video game songs, especially that opening.

Still one of my most loved songs of all time. Right up there with Corridors of Time.

I may get Prime After all, to Experience something of Glory. Yeah im defintly am getting Prime Remasted.

Like my brothers always said: "Scan! Scan while you can!"

It's so weird, I can go years without hearing a single song off this OST but I can recall it almost perfectly in my head. This game really had an impact on me growing up. I absolutely love this track in particular.

Man I can't wait to do a full chronological playthrough of the whole Metroid series including Prime 4 and Dread in a few years. It's gonna be AWESOME!!!

I miss Metroid so much. We need Metroid Prime 4!

I get a wave of nostalgia every time. This track is just so effective at creating majestic sci-fi ice planet vibes

This Ost is fucking perfect for this world/winter mood. I love it

Come back Samus, the video game horizon needs you :(

I FINALLY FOUND IT! and i truly didn't know that this masterpiece was from this.

Ah, the good old days when Nintendo didn't go casual-as-fuck and still had their touch.

Metroid Prime's sound design is so amazing.

2020 and i still want to hear it😍😭

This song not being in Smash is the biggest travesty.

Always play this track when the first day snow comes down during winter.

I play this every snowday..i love it!

What really amazes me was the physics of realism this game had, like when Thardus dies the rock that hits Samus’s helmet.

So far, this is my favorite area in the game. The music in combination with this amtosphere make this level that awesome!

Me when first experiencing this game: After I went through Magmoor caverns, the hot and crowded place, I took the elevator to phendrana drifts, as I walked through the icy hallway, I was filled with mystery, then, when I opened the door, I WAS STRUCK WITH AWE, at how beautiful and huge the area was, and that music! OOOOHH its a thing of beauty, the music just takes it for me, Phendrana drifts is easily my favorite area in the game.

Haven't touched the game yet, and somehow, this song resonates with me. It's just that good (definitely getting the remaster)

The Metroid Prime games have some of the most amazing mood-setting, location-appropriate music like this and the Torvus Bog from MP2. Freaking love this trilogy.

why can't Dread's soundtrack be this good?

Came here to celebrate the announcement of Metriod Prime 4. Can't wait!

I live in Iowa, and we're currently having a "bad" blizzard (bad in quotes because I actually enjoy this weather), the snow is up to my knees. All I could think about was role playing in Phendrana Drifts as a kid, which led me here. Such an underrated game, or series in general.

Strangers wrath soundtrack then Metroid prime for 1st and 2nd place. Oh the memories when I hear these tracks from these 2 games. Playing with my kids was so much fun.

I got this game for Christmas 2002 and never passed like 5-8% until I started replaying 2 weeks ago. I beat it today. The music for this area got me instantly

We are soooo back BOYS!!!!!!! Metroid Prime 4 Beyond!!!

This just brings pure memories back to the hype when playing when they was released, Man play this theme song at my funeral man! Pure nostalgia 😍

Man this sountrack holds up still such a good game

This track stuck with me throughout the years more than any other in Metroid Prime. The atmosphere of the Prime games is 10/10. Just love it.

Whenever it snows i always try to play this. Makes me feel like i am in the game itself. Especially with the Winter Storm in the east coast right now ;)

This is the world I imagined as a child.

This is the greatest song to play while actually out exploring in the snow whether by vehicle or on foot, especially alone. It gives you such a powerful sense of wonder and mystery yet still just a touch of tension and uneasiness at what lies beyond the next corner.
