Nintendo has announced that the soundtrack for *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* will receive a vinyl release. This marks a surprising move from the video game company, which rarely puts its original soundtracks (OSTs) on physical media outside of Japan.
The release is part of a new experiment by Nintendo to gauge the audience’s appetite for such releases in territories around the world. Nintendo revealed *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* Limited Edition vinyl release this morning.
The soundtrack will be available in two versions: a 2LP set featuring 34 tracks, and an 8LP box set containing 130 tracks. Each LP showcases the iconic Hylian Crest and is housed in a sleeve adorned with artwork from the 2017 video game.
Speaking to *Variety*, Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Player & Product Experience, Bill Trinen, explained that the company aims to use this release to measure how much interest there is for physical media outside of Japan.
The *Breath of the Wild* soundtrack is available for pre-order now, with an official release date set for June 19, 2026. The 2LP set is priced at $49.99, while the more extensive 8LP set costs $194.99.
