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.

Silhouetto of a Man
I'd just realized something: This, unlike the other game overs in the series, actually fits the melancholy tone of the game. In the other games, it's all "Oh, no you died! Come on now, hit the continue button!" But in Twilight Princess, the game over theme says to you, "You've fallen. All hope for Hyrule and the Twilight realm is lost." Pretty cool!

@Kapanyo Well, you see, about that...
Kapanyo
Shame the game is so painfully easy that you never get to hear it.

@Jet I'll let you borrow my disk for 200 rupees
T3ngu !
Silhouetto of a Man It’s true that there is the true feeling of loss, but by the end you hear the song of courage, telling the player that we have the power to make Link return and fight again, that also meaning that we can also be as corageous as him
Jet
See now talk like that is the kind of shit that makes me want to play the game without dying, and that would be pretty damn hard because I don't have the disk anymore.
Fuck.

Dying while Midna is in her injured state is the worst...
Watching her plummet to the ground while still on Link's back is absolutely heartwrenching.

When you die in her non Injured state she’s just Like Wut?

Oh... oh no. I want to do a new game just to see what it's like, but I don't know if I have the heart to do it.
