Zelda Soundtrack Releases Compared: Vinyl, CD, and Digital

Nintendo’s Breath of the Wild vinyl editions differ sharply in track coverage, while Nintendo Music offers a digital route subject to membership and regional availability. CD releases require game- and edition-specific verification.

For Breath of the Wild, the clearest verified options are two Nintendo/Laced Records vinyl editions or digital listening through Nintendo Music. They differ in track coverage and access: the 2-LP has 34 selected tracks, while the 8-LP set has 130. CD availability is a separate, game-by-game question; there is no verified franchise-wide inventory here.

Which Zelda soundtrack releases are available?

Availability depends on the game and the exact release. Nintendo’s documented example is the Breath of the Wild soundtrack: vinyl editions made with Laced Records and digital access through Nintendo Music. That does not establish that every Zelda game has a vinyl or digital soundtrack release.

Nintendo announced the vinyl editions in 2025, with a release date of September 4, 2026. Its U.S. announcement listed regular prices of $49.99 for the 2-LP and $194.99 for the 8-LP box set. Those are announcement-page prices, not guaranteed current checkout prices or prices for other markets. Check Nintendo or the seller for current regional pricing and stock.

Breath of the Wild vinyl: 2-LP vs. 8-LP

The main distinction is coverage, not a claim about which edition sounds better. Nintendo describes the 2-LP as a selection of 34 tracks and the 8-LP set as 130 tracks newly remastered for vinyl. The 2-LP includes cues such as “Overworld (Day),” “Great Fairy Fountain,” and “Hyrule Castle.” See Nintendo’s announcement for the edition details.

Edition Track coverage U.S. regular price in Nintendo’s 2025 announcement Best fit
2-LP 34 selected tracks $49.99 Listeners who want a smaller vinyl selection of the score.
8-LP box set 130 tracks, newly remastered for vinyl $194.99 Collectors seeking substantially broader soundtrack coverage on vinyl.

Nintendo describes standard black and limited colored editions. The official Canadian store page identifies Laced Records as manufacturer and provides the 2-LP track list and release date; see Nintendo’s Canadian 2-LP listing. Vinyl is a physical collectible, so listening also requires a record player and suitable audio setup.

Where can you listen to the Breath of the Wild soundtrack digitally?

Nintendo documents Nintendo Music as a digital listening option for Breath of the Wild. The app is for compatible smart devices and access requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership, sold separately. Nintendo also notes that availability varies by country and that internet access and a compatible device are required. The announcement describes playlists, recommendations, and a feature to hide spoiler tracks: Nintendo’s announcement.

The Nintendo Music listening page for Ocarina of Time likewise says a Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to access the service. Check the app’s current catalog in your country for the specific game you want; the existence of one game’s listing does not establish that every Zelda score is included. See Nintendo Music.

Are Zelda soundtracks available on CD?

CD availability needs to be checked for the specific game, edition, and territory. The sources cited here do not establish a current, authoritative inventory of Zelda CD releases across the franchise. That is not proof that CDs do not exist, and a past CD release would not show that the complete series is available on CD.

Before buying a CD, verify the exact game and release title, territory, publisher or label, track list and count, and whether the seller is offering a new or used copy. A precise product listing or reliable catalog is more useful than a broad claim that “the Zelda soundtrack” is on CD.

How to tell an original soundtrack from a Zelda remix album

A Zelda-themed record may contain rearrangements rather than recordings of the original game score. Zelda & Chill, for example, is described by Black Screen Records as a collection of recreated arrangements drawing on the original Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild. The listing describes a limited-edition 150g black vinyl release and says the album is not affiliated with, associated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Nintendo. It is a licensed remix/rearrangement release, not an original game OST; see Black Screen Records’ listing.

Choose a format based on what matters to you

  • Choose vinyl if you want a physical collectible and have playback equipment. For Breath of the Wild, compare the 34-track 2-LP with the 130-track 8-LP rather than treating them as equivalent editions.
  • Choose Nintendo Music if you want app-based listening and your country, device, and Nintendo Switch Online membership meet Nintendo’s requirements. Check for the particular game in the current catalog.
  • Choose CD only after confirming the exact edition and seller details for the game and territory you want.
  • Choose a remix album if you want rearranged Zelda music rather than the original soundtrack recordings; check the release description and licensing language.
