Nintendo and Laced Records are linking up to bring the sweeping music of The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild to vinyl records. This collaboration marks the first time a Nintendo soundtrack has been commercially released on vinyl outside of Japan.
This double LP set features heavyweight discs that come in printed inner sleeves, housed in a widespined outer sleeve. All packaging is adorned with archival artwork by the team behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The tracklist includes 34 fan-favourite cues including “Overworld (Day)”, “Great Fairy Fountain” and “Hyrule Castle”, sequenced to take listeners on a whistlestop tour of Hyrule in the final days of the Great Calamity.
The unforgettable music of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild introduced bold new musical textures to the series, while embracing classic themes. From the first spine-tingling piano notes of “Main Theme” to the final choral-orchestral stirrings of “Epilogue”, the soundtrack follows the ups and the downs of Link’s epic adventure. Each element of the game enjoys a distinct musical palette, including the iconic minimalist piano of the open world, the alien sounds of Sheikah technology, the tension-filled rhythms of enemy encounters, and the orchestral grandeur of the Divine Beast battles. The composition team comprised Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, and Hajime Wakai.
