Okay, so here’s the thing. Nintendo just threw something cool our way—like, if you’re into tunes and gaming nostalgia, this might excite you. They’ve dropped the soundtrack for “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” right onto the Nintendo Music app. Imagine that!
So, you get to dive into this mammoth collection of 344 tracks. Yeah, I know! That’s more than 11 hours of music. You could listen straight through—or maybe let’s be honest, you’ll probably hop around. There’s this playlist with all the top hits, like 83 of them, or you could wander into other playlists. They’ve got categories like Overworld or Dungeons or Hyrule Life. That’s a whole vibe.
And wait, here’s a quirky thing—185 tracks have something called extended playback. No clue what that really means, but sounds fancy, right?
The app, honestly, it’s a goldmine for Nintendo fans. It pulls in music from way back. Like, four decades worth of gaming soundtracks. Jeez, makes me feel old just thinking about it. Maybe it’s just me, but when I hear a classic Mario beat, boom! I’m back in my friend’s basement, controller gripped tight, yelling at the screen. Good times.
There’s a catch, though. You gotta be in the club—Nintendo Switch Online subscribers only, folks. But hey, once you’re in, it’s pretty sweet. Stream it right there on the app or grab them for offline listening. You know, for those subway rides or whatever.
And I nearly forgot, have to mention—it’s not just Zelda. You’ll find soundtracks from all sorts of games. Picture Splatoon 3’s beats or those sweeping scores from “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.” You can even search with game titles or track names. Heck, you can even browse by screenshot which sounds pretty wild.
Anyway, this thing is up for grabs at no extra cost, but just for the Nintendo Switch Online peeps. And more tracks are coming, they say. So, maybe it’s worth keeping an eye on. Or not. Depends if you’re into reliving those digital adventures through sound.
