These four pieces are taken from the Symphony of the Goddess traveling symphony which accompanied the release of Skyward Sword. Each piece is in the form of a symphonic movement; moving through various different themes from a Zelda game. The tracks are on the audio CD which came with early copies of the game. If you are unfamiliar with the pieces; it may be good to check out the live orchestra versions first to get an idea of what these are.First; the book is very nice. The binding is stiff; but secure. The score looks beautiful. The full color artwork pages are stunning.I am picky with piano arrangements. As a classical pianist; I am often disappointed in arrangements which dont mesh well with the piano as an instruments. That said; I happily endorse this book. Playing this music is delightful. There are many moments which perfectly capture the orchestrated versions. The only potential drawback; in my opinion; is that a few ornaments have been simplified; yet; the notes left out are easy enough to add by ear if this is an issue.As for difficulty; I will not try to describe it with generic terms. In my opinion; the music was not arranged specifically to be easy or difficult. Rather; it was arranged to convey the underlying music. In case difficulty level is a concern; Ill walk through some of the more challenging parts of the Wind Waker piece. Some passages have tricky articulation switching rapidly between staccato notes and slurs. A few passages have two voices played by the same hand; sometimes a 6th or 7th apart. Sometimes the left hand carries the melody or both hands play equally important lines. The key signatures range from 5 flats to 7 sharps. There is an enormous dynamic range. (Thats what makes it so fun!) Some chords are fairly large. The time signature is generally straightforward; but there is a brief 7/4 passage. I dont mean this to be intimidating; many parts are quite simple! And above all else; I believe this would be very fun to play even if it takes a little longer to master than other arrangements available. I only include this discussion in case a new pianist is looking for a Zelda book.This book is a gem; definitely worth any Zelda fans attention.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Loved it! A nice paperback of surprisingly good quality ...By NathanLoved it! A nice paperback of surprisingly good quality that bends enough to stay up on the stand to play; but not where it ruins the spine. A very good purchase for any who are considering it :D1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

I really wish they would rewrite this for piano solo instead of making orchestra parts playable on the piano kind of how Final Fantasy created the piano collections books.
