The composer Koji Kondo was the only composer for most of Nintendo Mario and Zelda games from 1985 to 1997. Thereafter, he was joined by Tori Minegishi for Majoras's Mask, and Hajime Wakai, Kenta Nagata, and Asuka Ohta for the nex game. Now, he doesn't play a great role in the composition, as he says he only composed one track for Skyward Sword, althought he was very present in Twilight Princess.
His style is very specific, and his music is delicious. He's very talented because he really changes his style according to the ambiance of the game. That's logical, you'll say, but he really makes it good. For the Mario Series, his music is very cool and funny (Super Mario 64 main theme, Super Mario Bros series...) although in Zelda games, there is sometiimes a touch of sadness, melancoly which really makes a tribute to the games (Kakariko village, Zelda Lullaby and many others) and we can feel a deepness in the themes of the dungeons for rxample (ALTTP dungeons, oot Spirit Temple dungeon...)
So here is my question, do you want/ think that Koji Kondo will come back to compose Zelda U soundtrack in solo, with others, or do you think that he won' return ?
