“You can enjoy songs such as ‘The Goddess’s Poem (Main Theme)’ and ‘Phi’s Theme.’”

In case you missed its launch back at the end of October, Nintendo Music is a new music streaming app forNintendo Switch Onlinesubscribers.

It’s basically Spotify for Nintendo songs. I’ve now just realised the release of this app coincided with Nintendo copyright striking every YouTube video in existence that used music from Nintendo games…

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s soundtrack is one that I honestly assumed would have already been available through the Nintendo Music app, considering its legacy.

Skyward Swordactuallymarks the first timethat Nintendo used a live orchestra for the soundtrack of aThe Legend of Zeldatitle.

The soundtrack was a huge undertaking for the team, with five separate people assigned to help work on its composition.

And damn does it show. I think people are a little bit more positive aboutSkyward Swordin general these days, but the quality of the game’s score was never in doubt from the second the game dropped.
