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.

Desert Cavalier
You've called out to the Hero of Time with six songs that he knew in life.
Now he calls to you, with a song that is yours and yours alone. You howl as equals.
"Go and do not falter, my child!"
Laggianput
Pretty sure the 6th of 7 songs is ballad of gales from ww
He was #1
I get chills up my spine every time I get the last howling stone.

This theme is basically just the Hero of Twilight's theme. The fact that the motif is everywhere in the game, including the track literally titled "Link Will Save Us" should be evidence enough of that.
Becca Croce
I never even heard that part of the song until now. Especially since the recognizable part of the song gets drowned out by the wolves' howling.

When i was a kid i didnt notice things like motifs, but this song was an exception

I don't remember this soundtrack being called Ballad of Twilight. I thought it was unnamed.

Considering that the piece listed here as "Ballad of Winds" is in contention as to what song it actually is, I'm pretty sure that most of these titles are fan selected, excepting the ones with official names, like Midna's Lament.

@Nikx Neon i can see that. Sephiroth's theme for example wasn't the same as one winged angel. but people just kept calling it that and now the actual theme is hard to find. It's the song when Sephiroth finds the truth about him at that mansion.
