The latest Iwata Asks confirms that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will indeed feature an orchestral soundtrack.

With what has been expected for some time since Miyamoto expressed interest in having an orchestral sound track for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword since it was a natural step due to Super Mario Galaxy 2 featuring one, it has now been confirmed that the next entry in the Zelda series will be following suit.

During the latest Iwata Asks feature in regards to the music of The Legend of Zelda, Yokata stepped in to Skyward Sword around the time development of Super Mario Galaxy 2 was completed. When Nintendo was set to exhibit the title at last years E3 the topic for using orchestral music within the demo came up, but Miyamoto said it wasn't necessary to display at the time due to players trying out the operability. Yokota then went on to say:

"Right. Then, toward the end of summer break, they finally decided to put in orchestral music and I joined the development team. "
