This happened a couple of times, so I felt there was some association that I couldn't quite pick up.

The clips are below. If you listen to about 30 seconds of the Unbreakable music, you'll get the theme, and then go back to the Zelda clip. How random! But now I have the satisfaction of a puzzle solved!
