The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has a song recorded with an orchestra
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Most of the music in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D isn’t new. However, there is one song that Super Mario Galaxy 2 composer Mahito Yokota recreated with an orchestra.
So, what song is it? Unfortunately, Yokota wouldn’t say, so players are going to have to find out for themselves when the title hits store shelves on June 19.
Iwata: This time, you dedicated yourself to recreating several songs that Kondo-san had made over 10 years ago.
Yokota: Yeah. But I also put in a song recorded with an orchestra. Only one, though.
Iwata: As Nintendo’s head man in charge of orchestral music, you just couldn’t hold yourself back?
Yokota: Yeah…you got me. (laughs) You’ll have to play the game to find out which song it is, though.
Iwata: You have the job every game fan can dream of!(laughs)
Yokota: Yeah, thankfully! (laughs) The orchestra sounds great on the Nintendo 3DS system, so I want people to hear it.
Orchestrated soundtrack confirmed for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Posted on 12 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.
