'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included

Wish they’d put this app on the Switch. Never had the urge to play it off my phone but off the TV sounds much better. Also, seems like a whole lot of other games they could of added before this…

Guredo valley. Yes

Now... THIS is Zelda music and an amazing OST overall.

We just need Majora's Mask, which is even better.

Where is Majora’s Mask?

this is awesome! also weird cause i JUST downloaded it an hour ago and made a sleep playlist 😝 i hope they add earthbound music soon
also what if this is teasing a remake around the corner?

Don't we have this through the original version? Why add the soundtrack again? Nintendo should've uploaded something that isn't there. Majora's Mask for example. That's a soundtrack that is needed to be on there.

While I appreciate them adding different versions of soundtracks I find it very strange they decided to add this now when MM and TP are still missing in terms of 3D Zeldas.

Isn't OoT already on the app? Seems like a big waste when there's tons of great soundtracks still missing, even from Zelda alone.

I get that this is the enhanced edition of the original, but we had Link's Awakening; Age of Calamity; Majora's Mask; or an out of the blue Twilight Princess. Should have been with the additional bunch in either its launch in October or when they originally split ports from their original.

It doesn't change how it is a timeless gaming selection of music, yet Nintendo, please; Ninten-don't do this again.

After taking a lengthy listen; I will say, in spite the subtracted tracks, I love these renditions more than the original. It makes it feel complete.

Well this gives me hope for Wind Waker HD's OST. The GameCube original was my first Zelda game that I actually finished, but I think the Wii U version just sounds much better, and I don't think that's a hot take.

No complaints here--more versions of Gerudo Valley are always good.

also. is this teasing a remake??

Would've preferred Star Fox 64 3D if we're picking ports here, if only because Star Fox needs all the rep it can get.

@CaleBoi25 God I hope not

@N00BiSH is it what I would pick to get a remake? Not even in the top 10. But... Id buy it if it happened (I know, I am part of the problem lol). Seriously, imagine this game in 4k!

What an utterly pointless addition to the library, it further reminds me of why I hated the soundtrack to this game.

…and what I mean is because of what we could have got. The original OOT soundtrack is obviously the GOAT for the N64, but it was hugely disappointing to see little to nothing done during the 3DS remake in terms of rearrangements. Whilst the OG tracks are timeless, it just didn’t sit right and took me out of the experience in the 3DS remake.

The biggest kick in the teeth was the final “end credits 2” track - a phenomenal new arrangement
at the end of the 3DS game that was newly recorded. Why was this the only new piece of music? The game deserved so much better.

On the Plus, I’m glad SS kicked off a more orchestral movement, and one that only carried on through to BoTW and ToTKs phenomenal works.

@CaleBoi25 I'm not really big into the "glossier graphics" type of remakes(or remakes in general as of late), so that doesn't really do it for me. A new traditional Zelda experience is more enticing in my eyes.

@N00BiSH totally valid, obviously in a best case scenario we also get more content tho ofc!

I love this app and I don't understand some people's hatred for it.

Is this different from the original? Did they re-record it with an orchestra? Or does it just have better quality on the 3DS? I can't remember. This does set an interesting precedent, however.

This app has become a case of, I’ll get back to it in a year or two to see what’s there.

Nintendo has a weird way of updating it and I’m not sure I like it

Ah yes, the final battle theme against Gampmdprft. How could I forget? And Kotake and Kourne for that matter.

(Methinks someone's fingers were out of alignment on a keyboard)

@Dee123 I dont understand the hate for it either, I'm never going to use it personally but people seem so put off by it. It is completely optional. People just like to complain, like me with sonic games hate em. So I dont play game anymore.

Ocarina of Time's soundtrack is an all-time great! Never listened to the 3DS version before, so I definitely will soon!

I'm not sure what's more disappointing, adding a soundtrack that is mostly the same songs as the original version (AFAIK), or that it doesn't include every song.

Still sad Metroid Prime is missing songs btw.

@OctolingKing13 Earthbound soundtrack is GOATed. I listen to it while I work, it feels like the whole thing was performed by the runaway 5.

The order Nintendo is adding games is nonsense. With a lot of important games missing, they add remastered/remake version separately, instead of adding them altogether at the same time.
With the drop rate of one per week, it really is just a wasting of time.

Why? Why are they holding back Majora's Mask?!

We need the Xenoblade Chronicles OSTs on the app already. This is such a useless addition. And besides that, there's a ton of Zelda games that aren't on Nintendo Music yet...

And everyone let out a deep sigh..🙄🤣

In defence of this, the description on the app does say 'why not listen to this and compare it to the original N64 version' so there must be some sort difference within the arrangements

@Hero-of-WiiU For me, I wish they would do a version for smartwatches (like Apple Watch) and/or a browser version (like Apple Music, Spotify, or Pandora). Since I work in a secure facility, I can't have my phone on me while I am on the clock, so I can't listen to the app. Having a smartwatch or browser version would fix that.

Good choice. Not likely to go in my personal playlist, but that just me, I recon this is a crowd pleaser

...so nothing new was added, got it. They really want to act like they're adding content to this, don't they.

@martynstuff you'd think, wouldn't you?

@AussieMcBucket some of the tracks are stereo now. Please applaud Nintendo for their generosity.

@OctolingKing13 Unfortunately, Earthbound probably isn't going to happen. To much red tape and copyright issues. I didn't think they'd take the risk.

I want Majora's Mask dang it!

@Starius65 Ohhh. Well that's great!

@Grackler Are we sure the original isn't stereo? The N64 was easily capable of outputting audio in stereo and in some games, surround sound. Also, the sound difference wouldn't be that noticeable for the standard listener. So basically all this for one additional track we didn't get in the original.

Getting this over Majora is crazy

@Grackler Might be better to try with headphones if you can. The game does say it has mono, stereo and surround like you said. I did listen to a couple of tracks and noticed a little in audio panning for stereo sound. With 3D, if there is quality differences, is it really enough to put it all on there again? Makes you question Nintendo with their choices.

@N00BiSH
If we're talking adding more Star Fox soundtracks, how about we add games we don't have on the service like Adventures or the SNES game, before 64 3D since we already have 64

@Megas75 Good choices - I personally wanna see Zero added. Its OST doesn't get enough love imo.

@CaleBoi25 imo that would be awesome....

Which is precisely why they won't do it.
