Romance in the Air is one of the many cut scene-tracks in Skyward Sword. It seems to only appear for one single cut scene, and rarely makes a reappearance in its entirety. This theme represent the romantic of between Link and Zelda, who finally has got a personality (Link character is still extremely under-written, though). It echoes of movie scores, and has that certain Hollywoodesque tonality to it. That doesn’t mean that it’s bad, though; it’s a beautiful and dynamic track, that immediately caught our attention. The many different parts change mood quickly, from expectant, to adventurous, to sentimental, to dramatic, to romantic. It’s a great piece, and it showed us that Skyward Sword surely will have many arrangeable tracks to offer!

This arrangement, made by us, revolves around the truly practical drop D tuning of the guitar. The ability to retune the guitar is one of the instrument’s biggest advantages, and makes for great arrangements. Most of the song drones on a major D chord, and the tuning makes sure that many of the chord’s notes are ringing at all times. Dynamics are also paid attention to, and help keep things interesting.

(Keep in mind that we are playing through Skyward Sword at this moment, so no major spoilers, gang!)
