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.

Was I the only person to notice how well the Champion's Ballad lyrics sit with this song? It's almost as if the Beast spoken of was a certain... Doggo Link
The flames crawl
The waters rise
The lightning strikes
The wind sighs
A beast beyond the Divine Four
Waits for the Hero evermore
Let not the sound leave horses riled
Breathe in the breath of the wild
@LinkHeroedeHyrule
So underestimated ?
-that it even has 3 versions,
-the link of this game appears in 3 smash Bros,
-it is what the 2001 fans wanted,
-it is related to tears of the kingdom,
-It has 2 spinoffs
-the fans want the HD version to be on switch
-Metacritic rated it 95/100 and it was nominated for Game of the Year.
YES, THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED

The nostalgia this gives can't be described. As a kid I didn't know it, but this song means so much to me, it is the most beautiful piece of music ever written in my opinion, the zelda reorchistrated guys did it justice, so did Lizz Robinett. Truly beautiful, got me through rough times. This comment is getting rambly, so I'm gonna stop.
@prod23savage

@liamhill693
