Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Composer Yasuaki Iwata Has Left Nintendo

Yasuaki Iwata, a composer who worked on The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, has left Nintendo.

The news was announced via Iwata’s personal social media account, where he confirmed that he had stepped away from the company back in July 2023, thanking fans for their support up until now. The composer got his start working on music for Super Mario 3D World, and worked on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and many other titles in addition to Breath Of The Wild.

You can read Iwara’s farewell message below:

I have a bit of a belated announcement to share. In July of last year, I took a step in a new direction by leaving my position at Nintendo. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported me over the years, to those who enjoyed my work, and to everyone who listened to the music through the projects I was a part of. I’ve been working on new projects since my departure, and I hope to have the opportunity to share some of these with you in the near future. If there are those who would like to continue following my journey, I’d be truly grateful, and I hope you look forward to what’s to come. Thank you very much for your continued support!
