Treat Your Ears To 'Hero Of Time', An Hour-Long Arrangement Album Based On Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

I'm immensely confused... I have this? I've had it for ages? Is this a new edition with new songs or something?

@Jacob1092 really? How is it? I mean that packaging is stunning but I don’t know if I can afford to lay out £40....

@Jacob1092 Yeah, same here. Probably just repackaged so they can pretend it's a new thing?

Yeah I've had this for a few years
@CairiB it's as wonderful as you'd expect

These soundtracks are ridiculously overpriced.

Weird... not only do we have a copy of this in our collection, it's the exact same sleeve and coloured disks with the heart containers?..

Yea this is a lovely lp but it's been out for quite a while. If you want to know what it sounds like head over to Spotify. It's been on there for ages.

Oh wow, just listened to Village of Shadows and it's stunning!

@Jacob1092 Maybe this is a second pressing of the vinyl? But they sure don't make it clear on the product page if that's what it is

@CairiB If you enjoy vinyls and love the music from OoT, you can't go wrong. The market theme alone is worth it, it's epic and insane.

@Octane @Bret Must be another pressing or something, packaging looks the same as my copy.

For that price? Does it even use real orchestral instruments, or is it just MIDIs? If the latter, meh.

It is really weird. I bought this for a friend back in 2017, from Iam8bit. And they already said there would be no future reprint. It's like this distributor, ZAVVI, found a box of "Hero Of Time" LPs in their wharehouse and went "OOOOOPS". This LP is worth 300+CAD$ right now on Ebay. So 78.76CAD$ (shipping and taxes to Canada) on Zavvi is a steal. I've just pre-ordered one for me. Thanks Nintendo Life for making me aware. But you should be aware that this is no new release. Exact same album as 2017's.

EDIT : I just got off chat with a Zavvi rep and he told me the following : Harry at 10:37, Jun 25:
This would not be a re-print this would be remaining stock that was recently acquired from our supplier.
There we go. a 300 CAD$ + worth of a physical album popping out of nowhere is pretty sweet.

@dharmajones93 It is not a second press, confirmed by Zavvi's CS.

@dharmajones93 Excellent, and it's up on Spotify, so I'm going to give it a listen.

Aaaahhhh Kristin Naigus plays the oboe part in Lon Lon Ranch, because of course it's her! She's excellent!

Purchase is worth it if it supports her. <3 She inspired me to pick up the oboe which really changed my life.

Nice, just ordered it on zavvi.de. the discount code.ia not working in Germany, but check it the eBay prices 45€ + 1,79€ shipping is a steal! Thanks!

@Chris77 nice shout buddy 👍

Thought the headline said “Hour of Time” at first lol.

I have this. Got it two or so years ago.

Must be a reprint? Or am I missing something?

Edit: I see above these are the last of the original stock. I'm ok with this then 😁

@Harmonie Actually, midi on LP would be pretty cool

Thanks for sharing, turns out it's already on Apple Music, so I've added it to my collection

It's included with Amazon Prime, so I'm just streaming it.

If this is "remaining stock that was recently acquired from our supplier", what logical reason could explain why it is "Release Date: 30 October 2020" ? That's literally 4 months away

@readyletsgo @doomgc @jco83 I reached out to iam8bit and they say it's a re-release. They are the publishing label, so they should know!

@mazzel yes someone shared elsewhere that another place has it for preorder https://www.hhv.de/shop/en/item/eric-buchholz-and-slovak-national-symphony-orchestra-ost-hero-of-time-music-from-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-green-and-purple-vinyl-edition-745706v1

@jco83 yeah, exactly that listing made.me curious, as it says "reissue".
It actually does not matter because it's a nice way for people who just the first issue (like me) to get it for a reasonable price!
