A Link Between Worlds Music Will Attempt to Sound Like “Real Instruments”

Eiji Aonuma is attempting to make the music in A Link Between Worlds sound like it’s being played by real instruments. I was tempted to use the term orchestrated music, but I’m not sure that fits perfectly. Considering you can make tons of great music with real instruments without an orchestra, I’m not sure that the term really suits what they are aiming for here. Of course, it won’t be real instruments, as the attempt is to only make it sound like they are real – so essentially it will be some really high quality synths. Here’s Eiji Aonuma on the topic:

“We will be using arrangements of music from A Link to the Past, since this is a sequel to that game, and we are also trying to make the music sound like it’s played on real instruments. People who know the original will definitely be able to tell and be happy about it, while newcomers will also be able to enjoy it.”

I’m just excited they are putting some real effort into the arrangements and the actual sound of the music. They made similar alterations to The Wind Waker HD, so I think even if we don’t get orchestrated music in the future… we can at least look forward to some higher quality instrument sounds. A Link Between Worlds comes out on November 22nd. Be sure to bookmark our A Link Between Worlds Walkthrough for all your gaming needs.
