Nintendo adds Zelda soundtrack 2h31m

Nintendo has added *The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds* soundtrack to Nintendo Music, the company’s smart-device app for Nintendo Switch Online members, according to the game’s official playlist page and a May 22 report by My Nintendo News. The addition gives subscribers access to music from the 2013 Nintendo 3DS title through Nintendo’s subscription-linked music service. (mynintendonews.com) My Nintendo News said the update went live on May 22. Nintendo’s playlist page shows the soundtrack is now live in the app. The new entry adds 2 hours and 31 minutes of music across 105 tracks, according to My Nintendo News. Nintendo’s official playlist listing confirms the soundtrack is available as an “All tracks” playlist tied to *The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds*. (music.nintendo.com) The addition continues Nintendo’s practice of expanding the app one soundtrack at a time rather than announcing large catalog dumps. ### How big is this soundtrack drop? My Nintendo News reported that the soundtrack runs 2 hours and 31 minutes and contains 105 tracks. That makes it one of the longer single-game additions Nintendo Music has carried from Nintendo’s handheld-era Zelda catalog, based on the outlet’s track listing description. (mynintendonews.com) The playlist also includes curated groupings such as Battles, Overworld, People of Hyrule and Lorule, and Bardic Ballads, My Nintendo News said. The report added that Nintendo included its usual Extended-Playback Collection, which lets listeners hear selected tracks in seamless loops. (mynintendonews.com) ### Where can subscribers actually listen? Nintendo says Nintendo Music is a smart-device app included with a Nintendo Switch Online membership. The company’s U.S. product page says members can stream or download Nintendo soundtracks, create and share playlists, browse by category and extend some tracks for up to 60 minutes. Nintendo’s official playlist page for *A Link Between Worlds* directs users to open the soundtrack in the Nintendo Music app and says Nintendo Switch Online members can enjoy music from certain Nintendo games there. (mynintendonews.com) Nintendo also says a seven-day free trial may be available to some users. ### Why does A Link Between Worlds matter in Nintendo’s catalog? (mynintendonews.com) *The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds* was originally released for Nintendo 3DS in 2013, and its soundtrack draws from both new material and themes associated with the broader Zelda series. The game is one of Nintendo’s better-known handheld Zelda releases and centers on the paired settings of Hyrule and Lorule, which are reflected in the playlist categories named on the music release. (nintendo.com) Nintendo has been steadily adding older game soundtracks since launching Nintendo Music in October 2024. Nintendo’s announcement of the app said it would offer music spanning nearly 40 years of Nintendo history, and later updates have continued to add titles from franchises including *The Legend of Zelda*. (music.nintendo.com) ### Is this part of a broader Nintendo Music rollout? Nintendo launched Nintendo Music on Oct. 31, 2024, as an exclusive benefit for Nintendo Switch Online members, according to the company’s announcement and current service page. The app is distributed through mobile app stores rather than through Nintendo Switch hardware itself, and Nintendo says it is available at no additional cost with the membership. (mynintendonews.com) My Nintendo News previously reported in January that Nintendo added *The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass* to the service with 80 tracks and about 90 minutes of music. The *A Link Between Worlds* update follows that same pattern of periodic Zelda soundtrack additions. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s official playlist page remains the live reference point for the new soundtrack, and the Nintendo Music app page says more soundtracks are on the way for Nintendo Switch Online members.
