The Mother 3 Love Theme (also sometimes shortened to Love Theme) is a music track in Mother 3, and is the main theme of the game. It is not a battle theme, and only plays at emotional and often sad moments in the game such as Hinawa's death. It is a very melancholic song with a slow beat.
Shigesato Itoi has stated in an interview on Nindori.com that the Mother 3 Love Theme was added into the soundtrack very late in the game's development. He stated that before it was composed, he was content with a sad slow version of His Highness' Theme to be the game's main theme song, but later wanted a more emotional and less repetitive song played for the main theme.
