Composers and recording

Hajime Wakai led the score, with Shiho Fujii, Mahito Yokota and Takeshi Hama also credited; Koji Kondo supervised. Skyward Sword was the first Zelda game to use a live orchestra for most of its soundtrack. The full album followed the original Wii release by ten years, arriving on 23 November 2021. The first-press music box is an album extra, separate from the 2011 anniversary orchestral CD bundled with some Wii packages.
