Alright, so here we go — it’s wild to think about, but Nintendo just tossed the entire Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom soundtrack onto their Nintendo Music app. Yep, all 344 tracks. Someone timed it, and it’s like 11 hours and 43 minutes. Imagine sitting through that in one go. I mean, you could, but would you want to? Maybe. Or just sift through the Top Tracks — 83 of ’em. They’ve got different playlists, too. Dungeon vibes, the overworld stuff, those memory-triggering tunes — you name it. Oh, and 185 tracks have some fancy “extended playback” gizmo. Not sure what that means exactly, but hey, it’s there.
Let’s talk about this nifty app. Basically, it’s like a time machine — a musical one, if that’s even a thing. It’s packed with tracks from 40 years of gaming nostalgia. Something about it just feels… big, you know? But there’s a catch. Gotta be one of those Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. They’ve got you tethered, so you can either stream the music straight from the app or download it and go stealth mode with offline listening.
Oh, and it’s not just Zelda, by the way. Think iconic Super Mario beats doing their thing, or those epic Breath of the Wild soundscapes everyone keeps raving about. Splatoon 3 has its own groovy-chaotic vibe, too. You search whatever way you like — game title, track name, playlist, or even staring at a screenshot till it clicks. Classic, right?
Did I mention the price point? Zero extra bucks for all this nostalgia. As long as you’re on Nintendo Switch Online or their Expansion Pack, it’s golden. Plus, they’re keeping it fresh — promising more tunes in the future. Anyway, there you have it. Music. Nostalgia. Nintendo. Chaos wrapped up in a neat app.
