Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Are we finally going to get an orchestrated soundtrack for a Zelda game? The answer to that question is a resounding yes.
At E3 2011, there were hints that Skyward Sword would be fully orchestrated, but Shigeru Miyamoto never provided an official confirmation. In the latest edition of Iwata Asks, however, not only does it reveal that Super Mario Galaxy composer Mahito Yokota is working on the soundtrack, but it also contains a nugget that Nintendo decided to include orchestrated music in Skyward Sword after E3.
Yokota: I’ve been steeped in The Legend of Zelda this past year.
Iwata: Stepped in Zelda?
Yokota: I only worked on The Legend of Zelda. Two games at the same time!
Iwata: Huh? Two at the same time? I didn’t know that!
Yokota: One was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and the other is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
