Nintendo Music App Adds The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Soundtrack with 186 Tracks

Nintendo has expanded its ever-growing library of classic soundtracks on the Nintendo Music app by adding The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword soundtrack.

This comprehensive addition, available now to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, features an impressive 186 tracks with a total runtime of five hours and twenty-four minutes, making it one of the largest uploads to the platform to date. Originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2011, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was notable for its innovative use of Wii Motion Plus controls, offering players immersive swordplay and puzzle-solving experiences.

The title received critical acclaim for its narrative depth, orchestral music, and ambitious gameplay mechanics.

In 2021, Nintendo reintroduced the game as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on the Nintendo Switch, providing updated visuals and refined controls for a new generation of players. Now, fans can enjoy the sweeping, orchestral soundtrack composed specifically for Skyward Sword directly through the Nintendo Music app.

The addition is categorized under the Wii section in the app, reflecting its original platform.

Among the tracks are fan favorites such as “Ballad of the Goddess,” “Fi’s Theme,” and “Groose’s Theme,” along with extensive area, dungeon, and battle music that defined the game's atmosphere and storytelling. A Nintendo spokesperson outlined the update, stating that users with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership can access the full Skyward Sword soundtrack through the app.

This offers fans and newcomers alike an opportunity to revisit, or newly appreciate, the evocative music that has become a staple in the Zelda franchise.

As of this update, the Nintendo Music app now hosts several classic Zelda soundtracks, including Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild, and, as recently confirmed by Nintendo, Wind Waker will be joining the service in the near future. To access the Skyward Sword soundtrack, users need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, which is available via the eShop.

The Nintendo Music app has become a significant resource for fans of video game music, regularly receiving updates featuring soundtracks from a variety of iconic Nintendo titles. With the continuous expansion of its music app, Nintendo reaffirms its commitment to preserving and celebrating the auditory legacies of its beloved franchises.

The addition of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s full soundtrack offers a new way for fans to engage with the game’s world, whether reliving nostalgic moments or discovering them for the first time. Stay tuned for further updates as Nintendo continues to enhance its music offerings for Switch Online subscribers.
