What Video Game Tune/Set of Tunes Would You Love to Hear Orchestrated?

Now, this could be any one tune or a medley from a game. Personally I think Metroid would make for an incredible medley. If an orchestration already exists from a game that you think sound great, please share a link!

Most of the classic long runners like Final Fantasy, Zelda and Metroid have orchestral versions of their best tunes around somewhere. My favourite ATM would probably be this one:

If I could make a request for one that isn't so well-known, it would probably be Breath of Fire 2's soundtrack, possibly excluding the electric guitar-heavy ones like the boss theme- as nice as it is, I feel it would lose its punch in a slower orchestral version.

I want Super Metroids soundtrack done again, because all the orchestral covers I found screw up the execution and timing.

They need to put more emphasis on the chorus in the main theme especially.

The only one that springs to mind is so old that, fortunately, fleshed-out versions exist in abundance: Erana's Peace from Hero's Quest, later re-released as the first Quest for Glory. I'm not sure if a fully orchestrated version would work given how quiet the song is, but it's in desperate need of a harp/flute treatment.

Spoiler: The original Sound Blaster version... the PC-speaker version would be mouth-of-hell levels of bad if it were any other song.
