Let's get this out of the way first. Breath of the Wild is a great game, possibly the best Zelda game ever made. The world is expansive and allows so much freedom, self-discovery, and experimentation. However, I felt that Nintendo really dropped the ball on the story and music. The Switch Presentation Trailer Nintendo showed gave me such hope for the epic music that would assault my ears, but sadly we were all misled.

To me the soundtrack is only half-complete. The tracks are all atmospheric, and fit the setting really well, but ineffective in describing the context. The whole world has been plunged into darkness. Ganon's calamity infects the landscape, and yet all the inhabitants feel like they're at peace with it. Link has woken up from a hundred year slumber, and the world barely reacts to his return. What I had hoped to see was Ganon reacting to Link's presence. As Link defeats each divine beast, there should be a great escalating response from the opposing forces. But the world stays pretty much the same. The sense of adventure I felt in the beginning of the game sort of faded away. Instead the world felt more like just a playground for Link to play in until he decides to go save Zelda.

The music for the enemies on the world map all have this playful silliness to it, which I felt was in contradiction to the context. Hence, this arrangement I made for the guardian battle, I consider more of a REVISION. I referenced the tone of the trailer music heavily in trying to come up with my version. For the percussion, I used a lot of wood and metal knick knack sounds to preserve the idea that the player is free to be creative with his/her strategies in fighting the guardians. When encountering these for the first time, most players probably fail and die quickly. The thrill you get from defeating these for the first time is very exhilarating, and I wanted the music to convey that. I borrowed the main theme of the game and injected it into the track to give it more emotion. Even though the end result is a lot more heavy highs and lows, I feel I still was able to keep the lightness of track intact.
