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.
