Imagine all Aria of Sorrow orchestrated 8gif All Castlevania's music are superb orchestrated, there was even a concert years ago at Stockholm, you can check it at youtube, though they never released a CD with the musics. The Portrait of Ruin is the best in my opinion, the music really grew on me. Speaking of how excellent any Castlevania music-track would be orchestrated? This is my personal favorite track from the Lament of Innocence OST:

I really like the SoTN music but the best for me is this arrenged version of Theme of Simon from Super Castlevania IV

This next re-arrangement could probably be considered to be of the "true" Castle Entrance theme in Castlevania: Bloodlines (though it's only for the first stage):

DRACULA BATTLE Calling from Heaven has been on my mp3 player perhaps longer than anything else. Reincarnated Soul and Iron Blue Intention are great ones, too... I really like Rondo's opening stage song "Bloodlines"...maybe the most? Beginning from CV3 is great too. As far as Igavanias...yeah...SotN's is great. But so are the rest of them

I should have named the poll 'Best first-stage music' instead of 'Castle Entrance'. Because many Igavania games didn't start at an entrance to castle. Order of Ecclesia for example.

but that discrepancy may be while OoE's is so different sounding... other castle entrance themes are more meant to introduce you to the game, not just the castle.. in OoE's.. it's like.. you are already quite a ways into the game, and you are now basically doing what you've worked so hard to accomplish all along, a very different purpose.

Indeed. Most Igavania games start you already within the bounds of the Castle itself, to add onto the point of introducing one to the game. It was exciting to finally get to enter the Castle in OoE, though. The music, "An Empty Tome", definitely adds to the feeling of that final stretch of the game.

I am such a sucker for Castle Entrance music!! I love them all so much, so it's really difficult to choose!! Mmmm... I have to go with SOTN, it's such a classic and it creates a unique mood for the entire game.

Successor of Fate orchestrated, shows you just how badass the compositions really are, and even with all the limitations they still crammed all the epic into this one song

Heart of Fire, originally a bgm in "Haunted Castle", which now serves as the "Castle Entrance" theme for Julius Mode in Dawn of Sorrow

Tier 1: Symphony of the Night, Circle of the Moon, Order of Ecclesia (Empty Tome - the actual Castle Entrance theme) Tier 2: Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia (Chapel Hidden in the Smoke) Tier 3: Aria of Sorrow, Harmony of Dissonance (being essentially 8-bit hurts it compared to the other themes) Tier Garbage: Dawn of Sorrow (just.......no)
I'm not ranking "Cursed Orphan" because we don't know where in the game that will be used.

I'm not ranking "Cursed Orphan" because we don't know where in the game that will be used. Hopefully in the fight against Iga. And probably somewhere else, since not everyone will get the fight against Iga.
