For fans of the franchise and vinyl collectors alike, this is a moment worth marking. Nintendo has officially announced a premium vinyl release of the soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in partnership with Laced Records. The collection includes both a 2-LP set and an ultra-deluxe 8-LP box set, with the latter containing all 130 remastered tracks and expected to launch on June 19, 2026.
The announcement carries extra weight because it represents the first time Nintendo has commercially released a physical video game soundtrack in the United States. Until now, many of its game scores were available only digitally or in Japan. The deluxe 8-LP box set comes in blue and gold splatter vinyl, includes archival artwork, thematic sequencing of discs, and a rigid board slipcase. The 2-LP version offers 34 selected tracks at a lower price point for those who want the music without the full collector package.
The music itself, composed by Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, Hajime Wakai, and Soshi Abe, spans themes of exploration, battle, memory, and emotion, capturing the broad scope of the game world. The vinyl sequencing mirrors that progression: from the serene plains of Hyrule to the crescendo of freeing the Divine Beasts and confronting Calamity Ganon.
For many fans, the physicality of vinyl matters. Folder after folder of sleeve art, heavyweight discs, and artwork inserts help turn the experience into something tactile and collectible. It also underscores an important shift for Nintendo, moving from purely digital ecosystems to embracing physical merchandise that taps into both nostalgia and enthusiast culture.
The collection is available for pre-order now. Price tiers begin around $49 for the 2-LP set and about $195 for the 8-LP box set. Limited-edition color variants will be available through the My Nintendo Store, Nintendo’s retail locations, and Laced Records. Standard black vinyl editions will be carried by select retailers.
Whether you’re a longtime Zelda fan, a collector of premium game soundtracks, or someone who simply appreciates great game music, this release offers a standout way to engage with the game’s world through sound and physical form. It’s not just a soundtrack; it’s a celebration of a game that left its mark.
