This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Also Mario 64.
Basically its 'thanks Koji Kondo'.
I dunno... According to this, Gerudo Valley should have a sitar and zurna flute, but instead the flamenco jam comes in hot with the Spanish guitar and trumpet.
Different kind of dessert.
Zitar and zurna flute for deserts with camels and sand dunes. Spanish guitar, trumpet, and I think drum rim? for deserts with cliffs and tumbleweeds.
I always got more of a middle-eastern vibe from Gerudo Valley. Their clothing has kind of a belly-dancer thing going.

There's a ukulele in the OoT OST? O.o
OoT doesn't have beach music. Mario games (by the same composer), however...
I was thinking Metroid Prime as I read those, at least for lava and ice levels. I think that was a different composer but on the same (or better) level.

Anon's vibin
This is not just real, its a truth.
Ok uh, barely related, but:
Is there an actual name for the genre of music of Half Life 2, Ep1/2, Alyx?
Its like... progressive rock but sometimes also hardrock guitar riffs, but also with ... basically 'experimental' industrial/techno usually mixed in quite well, and then also very often with essentially breakbeat drumming, and a lot of it also uses some pretty uncommon time signatures and switchups.
And then sometimes there is either classical instrumentation, or, essentially some kind of filtered or synth version of it.
... I literally fail to describe it succinctly, I don't know how, I'm not aware of anything else that really sounds consistently like it.
So, like Nine Inch Nails then. That's called just industrial.
I mean, NiN and industrial in general has many elements in common with it...
I dunno, its less ... orthodox, in time signatures, than basically all NiN I can remember listening to, with the exception of Ghosts.
Ghosts has a lot more just... weird timings, but they're also paired with melodies and chords that are dissonant or off in some way...
Not much of Ghosts is high tempo, 'action-y', and HL2's melodies are actually not as odd and dissonant, they're more conventional, just often played with unconventional instruments/synths.
And, NiN's drumming, cymbals and such is usually nowhere near as frantic.
... Maybe I just don't have a wide enough industrial palette, and I guess maybe yeah, 'HL2 style' is best described as a subgenre of industrial?

Counterpoint: The Crosscode soundtrack.
Forest level: accordion, guitar, only a bit of flute, no violin.
Forest level 2: accordion, choir, and xylophone.
Forest level 3: steel drums, guitar, some other kind of guitar.
Ice level: flutes, bass guitar.
Ice dungeon: french horn, synthy violin.
Lava level: (none)
Desert level: Exactly what OP said.
Desert town: Totally different from what OP said.
Beach level: guitar, flute, piano, very little steel drums, no ukulele.
but anon, what if you are Spider-Man in a Fun House in 1991?
Bongos, error beeps, and the wails of the damned.
And that instrument that makes plastic clicky noises, expertly played.
This makes me think about how Jean-Michel Jarre's Calypso sounds like the most fun water level ever.
