Almost a year later, I'm finally doing what I said in the last post !
To begin with, a little reminder of what we officially know :
- Wakai composed Ballad of the Goddess
- Fujii composed Skyloft
- Kondo composed the opening cutscene music
- the Staff Roll theme (a medley of an original tune, the Ballad of the Goddess, the Overworld Theme from The Legend of Zelda and Skyloft) has been composed by Yokota, Kondo, Wakai and Fujii (source :
https://vgmdb.net/album/63737 ). If we attribute each theme in that medley with each composer, that means Yokota has composed the original tune heard at the beggining and at the end, so I think Yokota being in charge of that medley is almost confirmed.
- Fi's Theme has been composed by Hama (already confirmed in Jormungand's post, but here we have the confirmation by Nintendo themselves :
https://vgmdb.net/album/75832 )
- Wakai did "Place of Dragons" (most likely this one :
https://youtu.be/mE_xRFQ2us8 aka "The Sacred Dragons" in the expanded rip), same source as Fi's Theme
- Yokota did the "Goddess Sword Level Up" orchestral jingle (still the same source)
Now, time for some guesses :
- with the Mario Odyssey composer breakdown, I'm like 99.99% sure Fujii did Batreaux's Theme, just compare it to "Encounter with Cappy" and "Bonneton" :

- with the same argumentation as above, the I think the small jingle "The Dragon's Head" is Fujii's work.
- to me, Crimson Loftwing sounds more like Fujii than Yokota (it sounds a lot like Skyloft)
- I think that "Fire Sanctuary" is more likely Fujii's work than Wakai's. And I'm not sure that some other tracks attributed to Wakai by Jormungand are his work but rather Fujii's (for example, Faron Woods could very well fit both composers style)
- to me, Yokota definitly did orchestration and/or some arrangement to all the orchestral themes Jormungand attributed to Wakai (all orchestral bosses themes + the Stalfos middle-boss theme + "Exploring the Skies") + the opening cutscene theme composed by Kondo
That's all I gathered for now, I may go deeper into this soudtrack later but I would be really interested to know what you think about my guesses !
