We now know who the main composer is behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Having previously led the composition of Animal Crossing: New Leaf and City Folk, Manaka Kataoka is now working on the much-anticipated Switch and Wii U game. Kataoka also previously contributed to Wii Fit and Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
