Nintendo Launches The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Soundtrack on Nintendo Music for Switch Online
In celebration of The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary, Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Music catalog with the addition of the complete soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
This beloved Nintendo DS adventure, first released in 2007, was developed by Nintendo EAD and continued the seafaring journey that began with The Wind Waker.
Now, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can relive the series' iconic melodies through the Nintendo Music app, adding another highlight to an already rich library of classic Nintendo soundtracks. Composed by the talented duo Kenta Nagata and Toru Minegishi—both of whom previously crafted the music for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker—the Phantom Hourglass soundtrack captures the spirit of high-seas adventure and inventive puzzle-solving that defined Link’s DS voyage.
The new album on Nintendo Music encompasses 80 tracks and offers a total runtime of one hour and 31 minutes, making it one of the most comprehensive collections for fans of the series.
Listeners can immerse themselves in memorable pieces like the rousing "Title Theme (The Great Sea)," the playful "Linebeck's Theme," and the suspenseful "Temple of the Ocean King: Commencing Search." To enjoy this extensive collection, users are required to have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
This release is part of Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to commemorate the legacy of their most iconic franchises, as evidenced by recent additions to Nintendo Music such as the soundtracks for Mario & Luigi: Brothership and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. In a recent company update, a Nintendo representative noted that these soundtracks not only serve as a nostalgic celebration for long-time fans but also offer new players an opportunity to experience the musical history of Nintendo’s legendary titles, all in one place. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was praised for its innovative touch-screen controls and direct narrative connection to 2003’s The Wind Waker.
Featuring fan-favorite characters such as Linebeck and Tetra, the game’s global sales surpassed 4.76 million units across all regions, securing its place as one of the top-selling titles on the Nintendo DS platform. Nintendo continues to broaden its musical offerings on the Nintendo Music app, reinforcing the value of the Nintendo Switch Online service and providing subscribers with added incentives beyond classic games.
Gamers and collectors can access the expanding music collection with a paid membership, available via the Nintendo eShop. For a full list of available albums on Nintendo Music, Nintendo Life provides an up-to-date guide reflecting each new addition, including this latest Zelda release and other anniversary content.
As Nintendo’s anniversary celebrations unfold, fans can expect more treasured soundtracks from across Nintendo’s storied history, exclusively available to Switch Online members.
