"The Altar Cave" is the second theme heard and the second track of the game's Original Sound Version, right after the introduction. As its name implies, it is the background theme for the dungeons where the Crystals can be found: Altar Cave, Molten Cave, Cave of Tides, Goldor Manor and the Ancients' Maze. As with the rest of the soundtrack, "The Altar Cave" was remastered by Nobuo Uematsu for the Nintendo DS release. It was released as part of the Final Fantasy III Original Soundtrack, of which it is the fourth track.
