Also, 'the person(s) who scored Mario Galaxy' Mahito Yokota/Ryu Nagamatsu will almost certainly not be involved, as they are likely to be working on Super Mario 3DS; Toru Minegishi has dibs on Zelda

I thought Mahito Yokota was confirmed to be working on the game? In the most recent Iwata Asks.

That's exiting. I had forgotten that Yokota worked on the trailer theme for Twilight Princess, so his involvement in this production is not unprecedented. I just expected him to remain with EAD Tokyo.

As for game music in general; the soundtrack is practicaly the last thing that is produced during development. I'd say that the last 6 months are when the bulk of the musical content is composed, and in the recent Iwata Asks, Yokota confirms this by remarking that it was less than a year since they settled for an orchestral score and he became involved. I still expect Toru Minegishi to work on the soundtrack, but its interesting to have somone of Yokota's stature on board as well.
