The score was composed by Toru Minegishi, Asuka Ohta, and Koji Kondo. Additionally, Mahito Yokota was credited in the ending for teaser music composition. Minegishi headed up music composition and sound design in Twilight Princess, providing all the field and dungeon music under the supervision of Kondo.
With the advent of optical storage media, the implementation of fully orchestrated tracks instead of sequenced music became possible. Optical storage media technology led to the inclusion of one prerecorded track that acts as both the E3 2005 trailer theme and the music for the demo movie played after the title screen. That song was composed by Kondo and arranged for an orchestra by Michiru Oshima, later to be conducted by Yasuzo Takemoto. Three drafts of the trailer music have been composed by different musicians; one of them was released on the Official Soundtrack and is called "The Legend of Zelda: Orchestra Piece #2".
The fact that Nintendo has decided not to use recorded songs for other music in the game, however, has been a point of criticism. Kondo originally stated that he "would really like to push for" an acoustic orchestral soundtrack, as he considers live instruments much more deep and expressive than the ones used in digital music. However, after the game's release, he stated that a full orchestra would have been unnecessary for this specific title.

Ganondorf
Welcome to my castle.
Midna
So you're...Ganondorf.
I've been dying to meet you.
Ganondorf
Your people have long amused me, Midna. To defy the gods with such petty magic, only to be cast aside... How very pathetic.
Pathetic as they were, though, they served me well. Their anguish was my nourishment.
Their hatred bled across the void and awakened me. I drew deep of it and grew strong again.
Your people had some skill, to be sure...but they lacked true power.
The kind of absolute power that those chosen by the gods wield.
He who wields such power would make a suitable king for this world, don't you think?
Midna
Ha! Such conceit!
But if you are one of the chosen wielders of power, as you claim...
I will risk everything to deny you!
Ganondorf
Shadow has been moved by light, it seems...
...How amusing.
Very well... Deny me, then!
Yes, try to deny me... You and your little friend...
Both of you, faithless fools who would dare to take up arms against the king of light and shadow...
So you choose. And so you shall feel my wrath!

Ganondorf: Welcome to my castle.
(Evil laugh)
Midna: So you’re…Ganondorf.
Ganondorf: (Evil laugh) Hmm
Midna: I’ve been dying to meet you.
Ganondorf: Your people have long amused me, Midna. To defy the gods with such petty magic, only to be cast aside… How very pathetic. (Evil laugh) Pathetic as they were, though, they served me well. Their anguish was my nourishment. Their hatred bled across the void and awakened me. I drew deep of it and grew strong again. Your people had some skill, to be sure…but they lacked true power. (Looks at Zelda) The kind of absolute power that those chosen by the gods wield. (Turns back and looks at Midna and Link and shows fist with his power) He who wields such power would make a suitable king for this world, don’t you think?
Midna: Ha! Such conceit! But if you are one of the chosen wielders of power, as you claim… I will risk everything to deny you!
Ganondorf: (Evil laugh) Shadow has been moved by light, it seems… …How amusing. Very well… Deny me, then! Yes, try to deny me… You and your little friend…
(Midna attempts to block Ganondorf’s dark power but goes straight through to Zelda) (Midna gets so spooked by Zelda’s look that she flew way back) (Link tries to save Midna but a blockade shows up) (Puppet Zelda walks up to Link) Both of you, faithless fools who would dare to take up arms against the king of light and shadow… (Floats up into the air) So you choose. And so you shall feel my wrath!
@thebigguy270
I love the bit in which he slowly rises from his throne. It's cheesy yet badass
@kingkrysen
It's Princess Zelda's throne it doesn't belong to him he really is a demon thief like the sages said lol
@alejandrosantana4160
0:28 este inicio del tema de Ganondorf es ya un gran patrimonio de un gran villano solo espero volver a escucharlo en the kingdom tears nomás de oírlo la piel se me enchina.
@Klippik
0:17 when he stands up, it’s kinda menacing. The way he slowly stands up as if he is old but is more powerful than you think.
@King_Of_Wolves
I love this bit of orchestrated material from ocarina of time it's wonderful to here the old theme with the new parts of the theme added in tp.
@Igbear
The melody is actually older. Comes originally from A Link to the Past (SNES)
@meta527II
I don't know why, but for some reason the part at 1:42 strikes me as epic
@joanna2907
Me encanta el tema de ganondorf :)
