The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Soundtrack Joins Nintendo Music Collection
Nintendo Music continues to expand its celebrated digital audio library with the addition of the full soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
Released for the Nintendo DS in 2007, Phantom Hourglass marked a bold evolution in the Zelda series by utilizing touchscreen-driven gameplay and continuing the story set forth in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
The game, developed and published by Nintendo, is renowned for its vibrant 3D cel-shaded visuals and innovative control mechanics tailored for the DS hardware. Now, fans can immerse themselves in Phantom Hourglass's dynamic musical score, with all 80 tracks from the game—totaling one hour and 31 minutes of music—available via Nintendo Music.
This newly added collection features iconic themes such as the "Title Theme (The Great Sea)," "Linebeck’s Theme," and several pieces from the memorable Paper-Cutout Theater segments.
The inclusion of boss battles, island themes, and wireless multiplayer music ensures that listeners experience the full spectrum of Phantom Hourglass’s adventurous and whimsical audio landscape. Phantom Hourglass represented a transformative moment for the heralded franchise.
It was the first entry designed exclusively for the Nintendo DS, making use of the handheld’s unique touchscreen and stylus functionalities.
Players would navigate through dungeons, draw notes directly onto in-game maps, and engage in real-time battles—all exclusively controlled by the stylus.
The game also introduced a wireless multiplayer mode, allowing players to compete locally using the DS’s built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. Building on its predecessor's narrative, Phantom Hourglass follows Link as he sails new seas, searching for Tetra and confronting maritime challenges inspired by The Wind Waker’s world.
The success and innovations of Phantom Hourglass paved the way for its direct sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, further cementing Nintendo's commitment to creative interaction on the DS platform. Nintendo Music’s addition of the Phantom Hourglass soundtrack marks another step in its ongoing mission to preserve and celebrate Nintendo’s rich musical heritage.
Alongside recent uploads—such as the Mario & Luigi: Brothership soundtrack and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance tracks—fans now have even greater access to the legacy and artistry of Nintendo game audio. As Nintendo continues to update its digital offerings, both new and veteran fans are encouraged to revisit these classic soundscapes.
Those interested in exploring more can find the Phantom Hourglass soundtrack and other beloved Nintendo game music on Nintendo Music, accessible through official Nintendo channels and the eShop.
