* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUWBm0Z-Xww Test Drive]]". Chills every time. If there was ever a piece written about the thrill of ''flying,'' it's "Test Drive". And for further proof of its epicness, NBC Sports used "Test Drive" for its recap of Rory [=McIlroy=]'s historic 2011 U.S. Open run (setting the lowest score in the major's 100+-year history) during its coverage of the golf event.
** And it's brilliant in context, in that it interweaves Toothless's leitmotif and Hiccup's, bringing their respective themes into perfect harmony at ''the very moment'' Hiccup discards his cheat-sheet instructions and the duo begin flying intuitively, as one, for the first time.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY1dpKYUcxc The Cove]]" plays during Hiccup and Astrid's scene at [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the cove]] near their village and gradually becomes a soft, romantic theme.
* The [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong Japanese theme song]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02hAAqAEwwY "Emerald"]] by Becky, captures the feeling of the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWr0hSKLcXY This is Berk]] sounds like an insane hybrid of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' and ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' and is exactly as awesome as that description would merit.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeMo6Af8CH8 Astrid Goes for a Spin]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIXu45PkbKA Battling the Green Death]]. It all culminates in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5KOERF_akc Coming Back Around]], which is physically impossible to listen to without getting at least a tiny swelling in your chest at the sheer epicness.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBYg3N-uvAc Sticks and Stones]], the song for the credits. Mmm, delicious Icelandic prog-rock performed by the lead of Music/SigurRos.
* Several tracks have multiple internal moments of awesome, "Battling the Green Death" has some: Stoick and Gobber initiating their HeroicSacrifice, The BigDamnHeroes arrival of the Dragon Riders of Berk, Stoick saving Hiccup and Toothless, and finally Hiccup and Toothless saving Astrid.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW8xTbvblFk New Tail]]" starts out quiet ...then turns into pure EPIC.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deqaBwLQNtU Ready The Ships]] starts out very badass, as this particular voyage will be, before transitioning into an almost-haunting reprise of the Flying Melody. It really captures all the emotions of the scene.
* There are three scenes with no dialogue, so the music has to carry them:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CJ96LGGP6w Forbidden Friendship]] is what happens when the concept of TrueCompanions is turned into music.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXUd7GqXYGI Romantic Flight.]] The score is beautiful.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4o5-f6dGAg See You Tomorrow]] plays during the montage as Hiccup builds an improved tail for Toothless. The track has the form of a stand-out song, with verses, a refrain and the resulting catchiness. It then builds up to "Test Flight".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbbsCTafRNw Coming Back Around]] plays as Vikings and Dragons begin to live together. It's an appropriately epic, emotional version of "Test Drive", perfect for the scene where the two sides [[MeaningfulName come around to co-existence]].
