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.

0:09 I still remember those 2 soldiers who rushed those monsters. "YAAAAAAH!!! Come on guys, we can do it! Maximum effort!" The dude takes a big, MEATY swing, misses, and the monster proceeds to crunch his soft body into the stone floor...
I love regular dudes in games. They're doin' their best.

Hero: Ok, here we go. You ready?
Soldier: Yah!
Hero: Ok, is that a magic sword?
Soldier: Nope, iron!
Hero: Are you magic?
Soldier: Well, I've got faith! And ain't that true magic~?
Hero: Ahm... Super strength?
Soldier: I'll tell you what's super. 60 push ups every 2-3 days!
Hero: What do you do and why are you here?
Soldier: I do MAXIMUM EFFORT! Why am I here? Cuz I got something to protect! I don't need anything else to be here, fighting this fight right now!
Hero: (Slaps soldiers back) GOOD ON YA'! LET'S DO THIS BROTHER!
Soldier: YAH! We can do it guys! (Is immediately decapitated by a speed demon or something)

Love me some generic dudes who are there to fight despite how seemingly hopeless it is. Makes me smile.

I wish they had a full version of the Hyrule castle theme that plays in the beginning because it's the most epic version I've heard even compared to ALTTP and the ALBW remake.

Who else didn't know what A Link to the Past was when they first played Twilight Princess and only now realized that the beginning of this is essentially an orchestrated version of the A Link to the Past Hyrule Castle theme?
Mind blowing in process. Please wait. . .
A Really Bad Gamer
Link to the past was my second Zelda game. First being OoT
Gold Mantis
it's not really that mind blowing considering this theme plays in almost every single Zelda game since A Link to the Past

It's also the theme that plays when rhoam shows up in botw
