The game's over "music" theme is discussed, as well is hidden homages to the Zelda series' musical past.

Star Trek the Original Series - the Music (Part III)

Before making it to air, Star Trek had not one, but two pilots scored by Alexander Courage. Once the first season finally went into production, it took five composers to pull it off. This episode explores the musical, financial and creative realities of 1960s television music production, as we discuss the scores for these two pilots, and the creation of some of the show's musical sound effects. We are also introduced to season one's other four composers.
