Like for Zelda they just play the main theme of Zelda, and for Final Fantasy they just played the prelude. Also yeah they had that kid go and play Guitar Hero, and he got a standing ovation from the entire crowd for doing well which made me want to vomit.
A better performance was Final Fantasy Distant Worlds.

Really? We got a lot of medleys like Retro games (Donkey Kong, Frogger, Dragons Lair, OutRun, Ghosts 'n' Goblins etc) Sonic, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Megaman, MGS and a bunch of other non-medley pieces like Kingdom Hearts, Halo and WoW among others I wont list right now. We got a light show aswell as the usual video to watch in time with the music. Like gold rings during Sonic, palm trees during OutRun etc.
We had two "games", the Space Invaders thing and the Guitar Hero one. It might sound dumb to applaude someone winning at GH but, remember, he was playing with no real time to prepare, with hundreds of people watching and also being accompanied by an orchestra and Tommy Talrico on guitar. I'd think that would put some extra pressure on playing it on expert.
I'd go again. They vary the show from place to place so maybe that's why you didn't get certain things.
