My favorite track from the Zelda music bonus disc. I have quite the soft spot for game soundtracks orchestrated, to which Nintendo always obliges. 

Skyward Sword is fully orchestrated, but I wish the tracks were more like some of the ones from previous games. The combat music is pretty bland. It really only steps up when something amazing is happening, like the cinematics, flying, and some of the boss battles. So far, it’s been my only quarrel with the game and it is a minor one. 

For the record, I think Wind Waker had the best music of the series. The folk influence is just perfect for the game. The music for Outset Island always fills me with glee.
