The Kokiri Forest theme, and by extension the Outset Island theme in The Wind Waker, sound similar to the Beach theme from Wonder Boy in Monster Land.The battle variant of the Hyrule Field BGM in Ocarina sounds like the Death Star battle music from Star Wars: A New Hope, itself inspired by the 'Mars' and 'Jupiter' movements of The Planets.The same melody is also in Hiroshi Sato's cover of 'This Boy' and Steve Hackett's Hands of the Priestess.Zelda's Lullaby sounds a lot like Mort Garson's 'Concerto For Philodendron And Pothos' from his album Plantasia, 1976.Even weirder, 'Saria's Song', the iconic theme music for The Lost Woods from the same game and Twilight Princess is suspiciously similar to the Jupiter movement of Gustav Holst's The Planets.In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the music in the Fire Temple bears a remarkable resemblance to the Torla Mountan dungeon in Alundra, right down to the Muslim-esque chanting.

Both songs have a similar bassline and chord progression, which is only played in the beginning of the Beach Boys' song, with a similar guitar instrumentation to the OOT version of the theme, and repeated throughout most of Yamashita's song.

There's two more songs that are also quite similar 'In My Room' by The Beach Boys and 'I Love You' by Tatsuro Yamashita.

It also bears resemblance to the second movement of Pathetique by Ludwig van Beethoven.

The theme of Kakariko Village (which appears in multiple Zelda games) is very similar to the end section of the 1970 Genesis song 'Stagnation' from their second album, Trespass.

The Legend of Zelda composer Koji Kondo was a big fan of rock groups like Deep Purple - try listening to the group's 1969 song 'April' and you can hear a huge influence on the various themes from the series.
