The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Soundtrack Added to Nintendo Music App via Switch Online Update

Nintendo has delivered another significant update to its growing Nintendo Music app, now available on mobile devices for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

This week, Nintendo has brought the iconic soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, originally released for the Nintendo GameCube, to the app.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker soundtrack is widely regarded as one of the series’ standouts, celebrated for its melodic orchestration and memorable themes.

With this latest update, fans can stream a comprehensive collection of 133 tracks, spanning a total runtime of 3 hours and 40 minutes.

From standout pieces like the title theme and Outset Island to Dragon Roost Island, Windfall Island, and The Great Sea, the soundtrack captures the adventurous spirit and emotive storytelling that defines the acclaimed action-adventure title.

Users of the Nintendo Music app should be aware that the soundtrack does contain major story themes, so those new to The Wind Waker may wish to experience the game first to avoid potential spoilers.

The addition of this full album follows last December’s update, which introduced The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword soundtrack to the service, further enriching Nintendo Switch Online's value proposition for fans of classic video game music. To access The Wind Waker soundtrack, users must have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.

The Nintendo Music app continues to expand its library with music from beloved Nintendo franchises, available to stream at any time for subscribers.

This strategy not only celebrates Nintendo’s storied game history but also provides fans with a way to revisit acclaimed scores from previous console generations. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, developed by Nintendo EAD and debuting on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002 (Japan) and 2003 (worldwide), remains a critical and commercial success.

The game’s cel-shaded visuals, innovative sailing gameplay, and emotive soundtrack have ensured its enduring popularity.

The recent addition of its music to the Nintendo Music app reflects the company’s commitment to preserving and reintroducing its classic content for both committed fans and newcomers through Nintendo Switch Online and related digital platforms. As the Nintendo Music app library grows, Nintendo continues to engage its player base through regular updates, solidifying the Nintendo Switch’s position as a central hub for both gaming and multimedia experiences.

For fans looking to immerse themselves further in the world of The Legend of Zelda, the newly added Wind Waker soundtrack is now just a tap away.
