Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Soundtrack Review

I was fortunate enough to acquire a re-create of The Legend of Zelda: Jiff of the Wild Special Edition released in North America. The soundtrack CD that comes in the bundle is a gorgeous Digipak case which make me very happy afterward the release of the simple paper-thin sleeve that Due north Americans received for the Twilight Princess Sound Option CD.

The Jiff of the Wild CD offers 23 tracks from the game, and a 24th rail with a live recording. Read of for my review of the album, and if you didn't become the Special Edition I have some tips on where yous tin can catch your own copy of this CD, and details on its various releases.

Recently Video Game Music Online posted the listing of the full sound team on their website, amongst the listing both Manaka Kataoka and Yasuaki Iwata as composers of the music for the game.

Manaka Kataoka has worked on several Nintendo games before including Wii Fit, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks, and according to the Nintendo Wiki specifically these tracks for Breath of the Wild: "Main Theme", "Field (Day)", "Battle (Field)", "Battle (Shrine)", "Riding (Twenty-four hours)", "Riding (Dark) (w/Koji Kondo)", "Guardian Battle" and "Talus Battle".

The "Main Theme" features some gorgeous melodies, chorales and instrumentation and sets the musical tone for the album. Soft pianoforte moves from flute, to triumphant contumely, wonderful strings and finishes on goosebump inducing piano note. Sparse piano features throughout many of the area tracks including "Field Day" where sustained notes become several moments between each other giving the listener a sense of large expansive spaces. My favorite track of the album by Manaka Kataoka is "Guardian Boxing" which opens with chilling pianoforte y'all'd expect to hear in a horror film, and moves into a pulsing electronic and string tune, and almost sounds like electronic sounds of breathing every 10 seconds or in the background suggesting that something has come up back to life, or has a power pulsing through information technology.

Yasukaki Iwata composed these tracks on this album: "Shrine", "The Temple of Time", "Stables", "Kass's Theme", "Goron City (Day)", "Goron Urban center (Nighttime)", "Zora's Domain (Day)", "Zora'southward Domain (Nighttime)", "Gerudo Town (Mean solar day)", "Gerudo Boondocks (Dark)", "Rito Village (Day)" and "Rito Village (Night)" (w/Kenta Nagata).

"Shrine" past far is my favorite track composed by Yasuaki Iwata which has a unique sound of a bong ringing simply when rung gives off a an electronic chime in changing tones. At that place's as well rapid strings in the background and bagpipes which all work very well together that give a sense of awe and at the same time a feeling of cold mystery. "Temple of Fourth dimension" was the first track I listened to on the album every bit I have such a fondness for on the Ocarina of Time soundtrack. However, it sounds null similar it. The track opens with sustained stumbled piano notes, that as the music slowly progresses sound similar a cleaved melody missing pieces – which in the game suits the Temple of Time as when you kickoff encounter it, the building is in a state of ruin. "Kass's Theme" sounds out of identify to me on the anthology, equally it features a lovely squeeze box tune you lot'd expect to hear in a French romantic setting in Paris.

I throughly enjoyed the unabridged anthology, and feel that in many aspects the composers tried to alloy electronic sounds with various instruments to reflect the balance of nature and technology present in the game. All of the tracks on the anthology from what I tin tell announced to be surround based, and not be from any of the cinematic scenes encountered in the game. To me, this makes sense every bit it will be the music that players will encounter nigh during their play through of the game. It'southward a swell selection of tracks with a diverseness of sounds to proceed your attention. Hopefully we volition meet a release of a more than consummate soundtrack sometime in the future.

The last rails on the album is one that some game music fans were looking for a few weeks agone. The Fable of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concert album was released and many fans who attended the concert noted that the Breath of the Wild theme that was played during the concert was absent. It is a wonderful style to shut of this great album, and features a grander sound with the full concert orchestra. Also as the game was officially released in a twelvemonth after the 30th Ceremony I volition expect Breath of the Wild music to show upwardly on the next anniversary collection.

If yous are looking for a copy of this CD at that place are iv versions available. The North American version comes in a stunning landscape artwork digi-pak. The European release comes in a black and gilded unproblematic jewel case, in Commonwealth of australia, the design is the same as Europe's except that the CD is housed in a cardboard envelope. In Nippon, the soundtrack also comes in a cardboard sleeve, but the size of a DVD Case. Copies are available on eBay at time of writing, and the trending prices seems to be around $30 to $40 The states. If you live in a larger urban center I'd starting time check your local online classifieds to see if anyone is offering it likewise. As information technology has only been a week or then, I expect many more CDs will become available for purchase in a few months time and you might want to expect for a better deal.

Are you playing through The Fable of Zelda: Breath of the Wild correct at present? How are you finding the music in the game?
