A composer who worked on some of Nintendo’s biggest modern titles has revealed that he left the company a while ago.

Yasuaki Iwata co-composed the soundtracks for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Arms, as well as the retro tracks for Mario Kart 8.

However, Iwata took to X on Tuesday to reveal that he was no longer working at Nintendo and hadn’t in a while.

“I have a bit of a late announcement to share,” he wrote. “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 sincere 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.”

Iwata also revealed that he had been composing new music following his decision to leave.

“I have been working on new projects since my departure and I hope to have the opportunity to share some of them with you in the near future,” he explained.

“If there are those who would like to follow my journey, I would be truly grateful and I hope they look forward to what is to come. Thank you very much for your continued support.”

Iwata’s work on Breath of the Wild primarily involved composing music for the towns and dungeons, as well as Kass and the Champions. He also composed the theme song for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
